Chapter 31: Lou Ban Descends

At this time, in the Han military camp, Gao Shun said, "We were ordered to pursue Wuhuan, although Wuhuan is demoralized, but our army has few soldiers, it is difficult to find fighters, I don't know if you have any good ideas"?

Tian Chou said, "Wuhuan was defeated and retreated, but the soldiers were concentrated, and if we attacked rashly, our army would definitely suffer, so we just need to follow all the way and look for suitable opportunities."

Zhang He echoed and said, "Yes! Although Wuhuan said that he was defeated, the cavalry advantage was still there, and we only had 400 cavalry from Gao Sima, so we could only respond to all changes with the same."

Gao Shun said, "In this case, everyone should rest early, recharge their energy and prepare for tomorrow's pursuit." After speaking, they went back to the camp.

Before dawn, Tian Chou was woken up by a loud noise, and shouted loudly, "It's bad, Wuhuan is starting to retreat", and hurriedly went to Gao Shun's camp after speaking.

Tian Chou came to Gao Shun's camp and said to the camp gate guards, "Go and wake up General Gao, and say that Wuhuan has retreated."

After hearing this, the guards immediately went in to report, and after a while, Gao Shun came out and said, "Zitai, has Wuhuan started to set off from the camp?"

Tian Chou replied, "Exactly, I have lived in a foreign race since I was a child, so I am particularly sensitive to the sound of horses' hooves, and I don't believe that the general can send someone to investigate."

After hearing this, Gao Shun said to the guards at the gate, "You go to check outside the Wuhuan camp, and the rest will gather troops for me to prepare for pursuit."

After a while, the man came back and reported, "There are still people in the Wuhuan camp, but there are many fewer troops in the camp than they were when they were stationed yesterday."

Gao Shun said to Zhang He and Tian Chou, "Could it be that Wuhuan left people to intercept us, and the large army left first?"

Zhang He said, "If you launch a charge, you will know, I am willing to lead 500 beggar troops to break into the camp, and Brother Gao will press me down."

Gao Shun said, "No, your troops are all infantry moving slowly, or I will lead the camp forward, and if the situation is not right, you can still withdraw."

Tian Chou said, "It's better for General Gao to go, after all, it's cavalry to trap the camp!"

After the three of them finished discussing, Gao Shun led the trapped camp to the outside of the Wuhuan camp and shouted, "Soldiers, the time has come to avenge the dead comrades-in-arms and people of Xiangping, rush me!"

"The will to fall into battle, there is death but no life"

"The will to fall into battle, there is death but no life"

After speaking, he took the lead and rushed into the Wuhuan camp, only to see that the camp was like chopping melons and vegetables all the way. The Wuhuan soldiers couldn't stop it at all, and at this time, a Wuhuan leader was directing the soldiers to counterattack and defend. Gao Shun led more than ten horsemen to run away, and the leader's immediate reaction was stabbed under the horse by Gao Shun's shot, and the remaining Wuhuan soldiers scattered in a hurry.

Outside the camp, Zhang He saw Gao Shun like entering a mirror of no one, and said loudly, "The main force of Wuhuan has retreated, and the opportunity to avenge the sacrificed comrades in Xiangping has arrived, rush me!"

"Revenge, revenge, revenge"

After saying that the army was attacking in an all-out way, Wuhuan itself was demoralized, and with no one to command, the battlefield became a massacre of the Han army. The Wuhuan soldiers were eager to grow two more legs, and some of them fled the battlefield as fast as they could, and the rest saw that the situation was not right, so they immediately put down their weapons and surrendered.

Half an hour later, Zhang He said to Gao Shun, "We have just counted 4,000 prisoners and 2,000 horses in this battle. The war horse is easy to deal with, but I don't know what everyone thinks about this captive"?

"Yes! Four thousand prisoners are more than our army, and if there is a rebellion along the way, the consequences will be unimaginable, or we will ......," Gao Shun said with a gesture of wiping his neck.

Tian Chou said, "Since ancient times, it has been unlucky to kill, and the two generals must think clearly!"

Gao Shun asked rhetorically, "Is there any good way for that Zitai?"

Tian Chou thought for a long time and said, "Not yet, let me think about it."

Zhang He said, "The lord asked us to pursue Wuhuan, and now that we are delayed here, I am afraid that we will miss a major event, and this matter should be cut through the mess quickly, I agree with General Gao's opinion."

Tian Chou said, "Since the two generals have the same opinion, then I will not participate, but this matter must not be known to others."

Zhang He and Gao Shun said, "Zitai rest assured, we will deal with it secretly."

After saying that, Gao Shun and Zhang He led their cronies to the prisoner camp secretly, and after retiring the guard sergeants, Zhang He walked into the prisoner camp and said, "Now that you have been captured, we are waiting for the grace of the Han Dynasty to pardon everyone's innocence. After saying that, he had thirty jars of wine carried up.

The Wuhuan soldiers did not doubt it, and they all picked up the bowls and cleaned them, only to see that after drinking, they all felt weak in their limbs, and they all fell down after a while.

Zhang He looked at the situation and said, "Let's do it, give me a clean and neat point, and don't leave a single one", after speaking, he grabbed a Wuhuan soldier and stabbed him in the neck.

Half an hour later, Zhang He said, "I will dig a pit for me to bury it, I hope you will keep today's matter in my heart, if anyone leaks out, there is such a pillar"! After speaking, he cut the pillar of the camp gate into two pieces with a knife.

The cronies said, "I don't know what happened just now, please rest assured."

Zhang He said, "Okay, then let's go and get busy, when I return to Luoyang, I will report to the lord, and one person will be rewarded with ten gold."

After Zhang He and Gao Shun dealt with the prisoners, it was already noon, and after everyone had eaten, they gathered troops to pursue the headquarters of the Bunton.

Three days later, the Han army set up camp on White Wolf Mountain, two hundred miles from Liucheng. (After checking the information of this baby, one mile in the Han Dynasty is equivalent to about 400 meters to 500 meters now.) )

Tian Chou said, "Now that Bunton has entered the city, we can't find fighters, so let's quit the army if we have few soldiers!"

Zhang He asked, "What does General Gao think?"

Gao Shun replied, "Indeed, as Zitai said, our 3,000 men and horses are at the end of their crossbow after a few days of tiring pursuit, and I agree with Zitai's opinion."

Zhang He said, "In that case, then let's have a good night's rest today and go back to Xiangping tomorrow." After speaking, the three of them went back to prepare.

At the third watch, fifty miles away from the Han camp, two hundred Wuhuan soldiers protected Lou Ban and fled desperately, and Lou Ban said to the guards around him, "I don't have the strength, everyone let me go and run for my life"!

The guard said, "Young Chief, you are the hope of our people, we will take people to stay behind, and the young leader will remember to avenge us." After speaking, he asked people to continue to flee for their lives with the building class on their backs.

At this time, the Han camp patrol found that there were Wuhuan troops twenty miles away from the camp, and immediately rushed forward to report.

Zhang He was guarding the camp tonight, and when he heard the soldiers coming, he immediately gathered his troops.

When Gao Shun and Tian Chou heard the gathering of troops, they immediately came to Zhang He's camp and asked, "What's the matter with the county?"

Zhang He said, "The soldiers came to report that the Wuhuan troops were found twenty miles away."

Gao Shun said, "I will lead the trapped camp to meet the battle."

Zhang He said, "Let's lead the beggar army, General Gao's trapping camp is more flexible, now we don't know the situation of the Wuhuan army, if I am surrounded, General Gao can also lead the trapping camp to do surprise support out."

Tian Chou said, "I agree with General Zhang's suggestion."

Gao Shun said, "Then go away, I'll wait for you to support you later."

After saying that, Zhang He ordered 1,500 troops and went straight to the Wuhuan troops, and Gao Shun sent people to inquire about information at any time.

Zhang He was two miles away from Wuhuan, and suddenly noticed movement in front of him, so he shouted, "Whoever is in front of him is named, and I will order to shoot him if he doesn't come out"!

I only heard a young man come out and say, "Don't kill me, we are here to surrender, I am the son of Wuhuan Shan Yu Qiu Liju, I am here to ask for surrender"!

Zhang He said curiously, "Then come here"!

I saw that the man led a few guards to Zhang He, and Zhang He asked, "Why do you please surrender?"

The young man replied, "I have killed my father, and I have to kill him all, so I have come to ask for surrender."

Zhang He was just about to speak, but he saw a voice in the distance saying, "Whoever catches the building class will be rewarded with 100 gold and 10 cows"!

Zhang He shouted, "Line up to meet the enemy."

After an hour of fighting, the Wuhuan people led the army to retreat, and Zhang He also led the men and horses back to the camp.

At this time, in the Han military camp, Gao Shun asked, "Since you have been chasing and killing all the way, why can you escape?"

Lou Ban replied, "After my father's 500 guards died in battle, he was able to escape, and General Zhang also saw what happened later."

After Gao Shun, Tian Chou, and Zhang He exchanged glances with each other, Gao Shun said again, "In that case, I don't know what your plans are in the future?"

Lou Ban knelt down and said, "I want to ask the three generals to help me take revenge, and after I succeed, I am willing to lead the whole clan to surrender."

Gao Shun was embarrassed and said, "It's just that we have few soldiers, which is not conducive to attacking the city, and if we forcibly attack the city, I am afraid it will backfire."

A guard next to Lou Ban said, "I am willing to go to Liucheng, gather people loyal to Shan Yu, open the south gate, and welcome the Han army into the city."

Gao Shun said, "Since your master and servant are so sincere, can you allow the three of us to discuss?"

Lou Ban said, "It's okay, please give me an answer as soon as possible."

Gao Shun said, "Okay, someone will take them down to rest."

After the others left, Gao Shun asked, "What do you think, Zitai?"

Tian Chou said, "It seems that Wuhuan is in civil strife, we can give it a try."

Zhang He seconded, "I think it is feasible, and wealth is in danger."

Gao Shun said, "Okay, in that case, I'll go and inform Lou Ban to come and discuss entering the city."

Not long after Lou Ban sat down, someone came to report that the three generals had been invited, and Lou Ban immediately led the guards there. Lou Ban entered the camp and said, "Did the three generals agree?"

Gao Shun said, "After we discussed, we thought we could give it a try, but I don't know how you can open the city gate"?

The cronie said, "While it is now dark and the city is still in chaos, I can touch the city, and the generals can besiege the city after dark in five days, and then I will open the south gate and let the general enter the city by making an internal response from the city, and using the fire as a sign."

Gao Shun said, "Okay, I hope the warriors have a smooth trip, come and give the warriors wine"!
