Zhao Junsheng's army moved quickly in the direction of Yicheng, and the team of more than 20,000 people pulled out a road length of nearly ten miles.

A messenger with a few small flags behind his back galloped towards this side on horseback, and Xue Andu, who was leading the team in front, greeted him.

Soon, Xue Andu turned around and galloped towards Zhao Junsheng.

"King, Sun Shujun sent a messenger to deliver a battle report!"

Zhao Junsheng took the battle report from Xue Andu's hand and opened it to look at it, he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Yo, Sun Shujun really gave Gu a big surprise!" ”

The surrounding generals and officials of the army all looked over, and Dongfang Chen couldn't help but ask, "King, what surprise?" Could it be that Sun Shujun could still capture the emperor of the Southern Dynasty? ”

"Hahaha······ Sun Shujun really captured Liu Yikang, and at the same time, there were thirteen ministers and generals and more than 18,000 generals who were captured! When Liu Songjun was preparing to forcibly cross the river, Sun Shujun led the army to attack and drove most of Liu Song's army down the river, and I don't know how many fled to the other side, but more than 30,000 people were drowned by the river, and the corpses were washed away and blocked on the narrow river thirty miles downstream, and the water flow was cut off! ”

The surrounding soldiers and generals were all stunned, and when they came back to their senses, they couldn't help but gasp when they thought about it, this is simply greedy! After this battle, the Southern Dynasty was also greatly injured, once the news spread, the world will be shaken, and Sun Shujun, who was originally just a general, has since become a powerful general, and has stepped into the ranks of famous generals in one fell swoop!

Dongfang Chen was the first to react, and said loudly: "Congratulations to the king, after this battle, no other force in the world dares to compete with my great cadre, and the rise of my great cadre is already unstoppable!" ”

Li Yuande shouted: "This is all because of the king's command and the soldiers' lives, so that this great victory can be achieved!" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled slightly, and said to Xue Andu: "Spread the news of this great victory to all the armies, and send someone to Marshal Hua to report it, so that the soldiers of the whole army will be happy!" When he arrived at Yicheng, he ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers of the three armies! Send another 800 miles of expedited horses to Qianjing, and order Yousi to issue a notice to all parts of the country to announce it to the world! ”

"Yes!"

When the news spread among the officers and men of the whole army, some soldiers couldn't help shouting: "Long live the king!" ”

The generals shouted: "Hurray! ”

Only an hour later, Mulan received the news that the 20,000 cavalry she commanded at this time was only thirty miles away from Yicheng.

After reading the content of the battle report, Hua Mulan was stunned, she didn't expect this battle to end in this way, and she didn't expect that a general would defeat the 80,000 Southern Dynasty army in one fell swoop with only 5,000 cavalry, and also captured alive the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, the accompanying ministers, officials, generals, and colonels as many as hundreds, and the captured soldiers as many as 18,000 people.

At that time, Sun Shujun's 5,000 cavalry were hiding in the wild woods a few miles away, 5,000 people plus 15,000 horses, so many people and livestock, as long as the Southern Dynasties used a little bit of snacks, these 5,000 soldiers and horses could not hide!

In fact, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and other generals and ministers of the cadre army, including Sun Shujun himself, all knew that the reason why this battle was able to achieve such a great result was a great element of luck.

Now that the war is basically over, Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng have no scruples, speed up the march, and the two arrived in Yicheng with a large army almost at the same time.

Sun Shujun took some soldiers to greet him outside the city, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan joined forces and rushed to the north gate of Yicheng together, the rapid march of nearly 50,000 cavalry caused too much movement, and the local people who had never seen this kind of formation were so frightened that they involuntarily knelt down.

Galloping to the vicinity of the city gate, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan stopped their horses, and the 50,000 cavalry behind them also stopped.

Sun Shujun stepped forward and bowed down with his fists: "The last general led the soldiers and the people of the whole city to greet the king and the marshal!" ”

"Greetings to the King and Marshal!" The generals and the people shouted and bowed.

Zhao Junsheng jumped off the horse and strode over and stretched out his hand to help Sun Shujun up: "This battle can achieve such a result, it is because General Sun Shujun has the greatest credit, please hurry up!" ”

Sun Shujun hurriedly said: "Thanks to the king's strategy and the soldiers' service, this great victory can be achieved, and the ministers dare not take credit!" ”

"Uncle Sun is humble, come on, come on, Lone will introduce you, this is Marshal Hua, Lone's princess!"

Sun Shujun immediately bowed: "The minister greets the princess!" ”

"I'm now the marshal of the Southern Expeditionary Army, you still call me marshal!" Hua Mulan smiled and joked: "General Sun, Ben Shuai and Liu Yikang have been fighting for several months, and the two sides have fought more than 100 battles without winning or losing, but I didn't expect Liu Yikang's 80,000 horses to be solved by you with 5,000 people, but you have overshadowed the limelight of Ben Shuai!" ”

"Panic!"

Hua Mulan smiled and waved her horsewhip and said, "I'm kidding you, if my country can have a few more generals like you, Ben Shuai will be happy!" ”

"Thank you Marshal for the compliment!"

Zhao Junsheng said loudly: "Okay, okay, everyone get up!" ”

"Thank you, King!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Sun Shujun, where are you going to let Marshal Gu Hehua live?" ”

"Back to the king, there is the largest mansion in the city, the minister has ordered someone to clean it up, and the king and the marshal can move in directly!" Sun Shujun said.

Zhao Junsheng nodded and ordered: "The Dragon Guard army will enter the city with Gu, and the soldiers and horses of the other armies will stay outside the city to camp and rest!" Command the three armies, kill cattle and sheep, and feast for three days! The generals of each army should arrange enough troops to be responsible for guarding, and other officers and soldiers should eat, drink, and rest well, but there is one point, the soldiers must be restrained, and they are not allowed to plunder and harm the people. ”

The generals clenched their fists and agreed: "Obey!" ”

In the evening, Guo Sheng also arrived at Yicheng with the follow-up infantry, and the total strength of the cadres around Yicheng reached 100,000.

Before dinner, Zhao Junsheng took the officials and generals to the camp where the prisoners were held to inspect the garrison.

Sun Shujun, who accompanied him, said: "Because there are many prisoners, and we only have less than 5,000 people, it is not enough for all the personnel to watch and hold the prisoners, and this camp is built by recruiting people inside and outside the city. The captives were held in the inner ring, and the guards were deployed on the wooden walls of the inner ring and the outer wall, with guards patrolling and standing guard in the middle! ”

"The prisoners are also detained according to their ranks, and officers are forbidden to come into contact with the soldiers!"

Zhao Junsheng and the others walked in front of the outer wall and the inner ring wooden wall, and after listening to Sun Shujun's introduction, Zhao Junsheng asked: "Are the Southern Dynasty Emperor Liu Yikang and the ministers of the army locked up here?" ”

"The emperor, the ministers of the army, and the generals of the Southern Dynasty are all held in solitary care, and they are guarded by special personnel, and they are detained in another place!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at it and found that there were many wounded among the captives, and frowned: "Why are there so many wounded?" ”

Sun Shujun replied: "Yes, there are more than 8,000 people who are wounded, and when the battle was fought, these people knew that they could not escape, and they surrendered first, if they were not the first to surrender, it would be impossible for the minister to crush the Southern Korean army in the first place!" ”

"Well, heal them as much as you can!"

"Yes, King!"

After inspecting the prisoner camp, Zhao Junsheng felt that the garrison was quite tight, and the emotions of the captives were calm and stable.

At this time, Zhou Qiu walked over quickly and bowed his hand and reported: "King, the banquet is ready!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Are the soldiers' wine, meat, and food ready?" ”

"Everything is ready, just wait for the king and the lords and generals to go back and have a banquet together!"

"Okay, let's go back to the camp and celebrate with the soldiers by eating meat and drinking wine!" Zhao Junsheng was about to leave after speaking, but he remembered something and said to Sun Shujun: "You have worked hard all night to take care of the prisoners, and I will hand it over to General Guo tomorrow, and he will send someone to take over the matter of taking care of the prisoners!" Later, someone will bring food to them, and let the soldiers who are guarding the prisoners take turns to eat, and they are not allowed to eat wine, and there is enough meat and steamed cakes! As for the captives, don't let them eat too much, and let them eat steamed cakes one by one! The emperor of the Southern Dynasty, the ministers of the army and the captured generals are a different matter, and the food they are given is a little better to eat, although they are captives, after all, their identities are still there! ”

Sun Shujun hugged his fists and agreed: "Yes!" ”

Soon, everyone came to the camp, the camp was in full swing, and the camp of nearly 100,000 people could be described as a ten-mile camp.

Under the command of the officers of the various corps, the soldiers spread the tarpaulins on the ground, neatly squared, and around each tarpaulin sat a soldier, and the tarpaulins on the ground were already filled with wine, boiled meat, and steamed cakes.

"The king has arrived—" With a loud shout, all the soldiers stood up one after another, and they could not hear from a distance, but they saw that the people nearby stood up and followed suit.

The camp of 100,000 people was full of braziers, brightly lit, and at intervals there were piles of cow dung mixed with herbs, and the smoke that rose smoked away the mosquitoes.

A high platform was erected in the middle of the camp, and the banquet place for Zhao Junsheng, the ministers and generals of the army was here, and everyone stepped on the wooden ladder to the high platform, Zhao Junsheng sat down and pressed his hand, "Sit down!" ”

The ministers and generals sat down separately, and the heralds held torches and waved flags on the edge of the high platform. ”

The generals were ordered to sit cross-legged next to the tarpaulin.

Zhao Junsheng said again: "Open the table!" ”

"Open the table!"

The soldiers started one after another, a jar of wine was slapped open and sealed with mud, and wine was poured into the empty bowls one by one, and the wine was fragrant.

After a few sips of wine, the generals let go of some and began to toast and make fists.

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said to the ministers and generals of the army: "Let the soldiers feel free, let's start too, come, all move, eat and drink well tonight!" ”

"Respect the king and marshal!"

"Okay, let's drink together!" Zhao Junsheng laughed and raised the wine bowl, glanced at Hua Mulan, and drank it all.

After three bowls of wine, many people were a little drunk and behaved casually.

Zhao Junsheng said to the ministers and generals while eating: "The most difficult moment for my Qianguo has passed, we have destroyed the Wei State and all the princes, we have defeated the Southern Dynasty, captured the emperor of the Southern Dynasty and the ministers of the army, the only regret is that the Rouran people took advantage of the danger of our Qianguo to fall into the ground, this hatred of my Qianguo will never forget, and dare not forget, wait for our country to recover and then find Rouran people to settle accounts!" ”

"This time, Qianguo was able to tide over the difficulties, turn danger into relief, and achieve brilliant achievements and victories again and again, and you and the officers and men of the whole army have made great contributions.
