Time flies, and in an instant, Handan Purple Mountain was covered with snow and crossed the Purple Mountain, and the four years of prosperity and harmony also came to an end.

Before the snow fell, Tai Shici's army could pass through the military capital mountain and enter the territory of Youzhou, which could be regarded as a reassuring pill for everyone in the Zhao Palace who was worried about the current situation of the war - as long as the army returned, it would be considered a victory!

However, for the people of the Zhao Palace, the heavy snow at the end of the fourth year of Xinghe had just fallen, but for the expeditionary force, they had already trekked in the heavy snow outside the fortress for half a month. Even if the previous pavilion system was prepared carefully, it still could not stop the Han army from going on the first expedition outside the fortress and successfully returned.

At the beginning of the year, the Taishi Ci Department and the Wuhuan Kings Department sent a total of more than 50,000 troops, more than 30,000 people in Youzhou, more than 60,000 people in the future, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians were supplied. When they passed through the valley of Youzhou Jundu, in the wind and snow, they returned more than 30,000 soldiers and more than 40,000 people.

In addition to the more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians who stayed in the Tingzhai of Xianbei's hometown in the east, the casualties due to the battle were not more than 10,000, and the great enemy that really caused them to lose troops was still the favorable time and place, and it was the bitter cold and boundless curtain after entering October.

There is a way that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, so how many bones will dry up if a country succeeds?

No one can say the exact answer.

People only know that when Tai Shici led the army back to the border fortress, the historian of Zhao State, who was ordered by the king to travel around the world, heard an order from Yandong at the foot of the Great Wall, and the people behind him formed a huge formation and erected thousands of pairs of two-zhang white flags almost at the same time. The armoured expeditionary sergeant with mottled scars marched very slowly on the Jundu Mountain, covered with the plain linen banners that stood in the middle of the road.

The bearers of the flags were many old and weak, women and children, and the long poles seemed to be rooted in the frozen soil, and the people trembled in their thin jackets in the winter months, but just looked numbly at the march of the military columns.

"Thirty-two scholars in the South Pavilion of Guzhu Township, Lingzhi of Liaoxi, Youzhou."

"Youzhou Shanggu Zhuolu Xiaji Township Dongmen Li Seventeen Scholars."

"Youzhou right Beiping Wuhuan Department four hundred and sixty horsemen."

These words are written in unsightly handwriting on the plain white flags, and their names are counted underneath. The number on the banner is not accurate, it is based on the letters written by the soldiers before the expedition in each township, and the vast majority of the people are still alive, but only the vast majority.

This picture was later painted with ink pen by Wen Peng Pei Qian, the king of Zhao Gong, who was standing in the crowd at this moment, and together with a piece of drum music that spread all over the world, it was named "Welcoming the Soul".

Tai Shici and other military academies did not stay in Youzhou for a long time, and the soldiers were rewarded for their great victory and returned to their hometowns, and were ordered to assemble in the state again in the spring of the next year, but the generals could not stay for a long time, and they were ordered to return to Handan.

Although the foreign war in Youzhou has come to an end, Yandong's mission is far from over. Tai Shici's return not only meant to bring back the Han Dynasty for a great victory, but also brought back to Yandong a rough topographic map drawn by charcoal, clearly marking the terrain of Xianbei in the entire east and the middle of the small half after Youzhou came out of the fortress.

But for Youzhou, this alone is enough.

There are no more enemies in the north of Youzhou, and the north reaches Hanhai, whether it is the curtain or the grassland, it belongs to the Yan clan from this moment.

Kebi Neng was driven to the Hanhai area, and according to the last observations of the Taishi Cibu, more than half of his brave and warlike warriors lost more than half of the great battle that broke out after the Wolf Juxu Mountain was chased up, and most of the soldiers did not die at the hands of the Han army but fled in the long pursuit. As for what happened after crossing the Wolf Juxu Mountain, it was obviously even more cruel to them.

According to the scouts of the Taishi Cibu, the weather had turned cold when they crossed the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and the wind blowing from all directions, north and south, seemed to be covered with frost, and it hurt on the face. The Xianbei people fled so fast in front that they only needed to rest for a night, and when they woke up, they would lose their sights.

But the traces will not disappear, and every few miles, you can see the corpses belonging to the Xianbei people. Maybe they froze to death, or they starved to death, or they were sick and couldn't bear it, no matter what the reason, as long as they fell off their horses during the march and escaped, the thin jackets on their bodies could not support the winter outside.

Kebineng's army has almost lost all its combat effectiveness, and the only one left to decide the fate of Zhongxian Bei is the heavens. If Kebi can find a place to survive before the arrival of the storm and snow outside, perhaps the remnants of Zhongxianbei will settle in Hanhai; If the Cabby didn't find a suitable place before the storm came, perhaps a heavy snowfall would have sent all their brave warriors back into the arms of the Red Deer Gods.

No matter what the outcome was, Tai Shi Ci, who returned to Senei, knew that he would probably never hear the name Kebineng again for some years.

It's just that Tai Shici, who had this idea in his mind, had just taken off his shoes and walked through the palace gate of King Zhao's palace, when he heard a hearty laugh coming from the hall, Yan Bei strode and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Kebi can escape from the Hanhai, Ziyi is a great contribution!" ”

As soon as I said that I wouldn't hear it, it sounded in my ears in the blink of an eye!

Tai Shi Ci clasped his fists and saluted, and then replied: "I also captured two stream rats for the king Yu Hanhai, weighing a thousand catties, but ...... Please don't blame the king, maybe he is not accustomed to the water and soil, and he is dying. ”

Creek rats are seals.

Yan Bei laughed even harder, walked down with Tai Shici's arm, and said: "I've seen it earlier, these rats are really powerful, even these livestock are not accustomed to water and soil and are dying, how can Kebi go away to Hanhai and live a long and healthy life?" When the same dying ear! ”

In these years, people are still too scarce in the means of tribute, and it seems that they have formed an indissoluble bond with animals, so that the evolution has almost seen all the animals in this land over the years. Whether it was the fine dog of Goguryeo in the early years, the lion of the Western Regions, the seal of Hanhai or the tiger of the south, he was kept in the palace of King Zhao and someone made a special trip to take care of it.

Last year, the lion sent by the Western Regions also gave birth to a cub, but one of the two marquis sent by Goguryeo in the early years has died, and these two stream rats are estimated to not live long...... However, in Yanbei's view, this is a complete auspicious omen.

I thought that the four wars launched this year would not be able to win at the end of the year, but I didn't want Tai Shici in the north to bring him this surprise. The northern frontier of the world is pacified, from today onwards!

The fourth year of Xinghe ended in the cheerful atmosphere brought about by the Yan's victory in the north of Xinjiang, and the history books will not forget the arrival of the fifth year of Xinghe in the atmosphere of Youzhou County.
