Chapter 1059: Triumphant Return
In the first battle of Baibo Valley, Cao Ren and Cao Hong escaped on horseback, and more than 1,000 Cao soldiers pretended to be horse thieves, and most of them were captured by Qin army Yu Linwei.
The Yulin guards tied the captured Cao Jun with hemp ropes, escorted them to the open field, and pressed them to the ground one by one and knelt on the ground.
Riding a war horse, he walked twice in front of the kneeling Cao Jun, looking down at the nearly two thousand captured Cao Jun, Gao Shun shouted: "Who sent you?" β
No one responded to Gao Shun, and the captured Cao Jun looked at each other one by one, but no one was willing to answer.
"Who sent you?" Seeing that no one responded, Gao Shun held the reins, raised his voice a lot, and yelled at the captured Cao Jun again.
Nearly 2,000 people, after all, it is impossible for all of them to be iron-clad men, after his second roar, many Cao soldiers shivered with excitement, and a few of them raised their heads, opened their mouths and looked like they wanted to speak and stopped.
Although these Cao soldiers raised their heads, it could be seen that the Tong Ze around them were kneeling there with their heads bowed, and immediately lowered their heads again.
Gao Shun's eyes were always on the Cao soldiers, and the reactions of the Cao soldiers could not escape his eyes.
"You!" Pointing at a soldier of the Cao Army who had just raised his head as if he had something to say, Gao Shun said coldly: "Sue General SΓΉben, who sent you?" β
was pointed at by Gao Shun, and the soldiers of the Cao army trembled like chaff, and they didn't dare to answer Gao Shun for a while.
"Say!" The soldiers of the Cao army only shivered all over, and did not give Gao Shun a response, and a Yulin guard behind him stepped forward, raised his foot and kicked him on the back of the back, and shouted angrily.
was kicked by Yu Linwei and fell to the ground, and the Cao soldiers were so weak that they couldn't get up again.
The soldiers of Cao Jun lying on the ground, their bodies trembling like chaff.
Another Yu Linwei, who was standing not far in front of him, stepped forward, grabbed his hair bun, and lifted him up.
Yu Linwei's wrist used a little force, twisted Cao Jun's head back, glared at him and shouted angrily: "General question, say quickly!" β
was kicked first, and then was pulled by the hair and lifted up, and the Cao soldiers were even more trembling, and they almost urinated and incontinent on the spot.
waved his hand at Yu Linwei, who was holding the soldiers of the Cao army, and when the soldiers retreated to the side, Gao Shun asked the Cao army, "Who sent you to Hedong?" β
"Yes...... It's Cao Gong......" When answering Gao Shun, the Cao soldier fought with his upper and lower teeth, and after answering this sentence, he was as soft as if he had no bones, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Escort him down!" As soon as the Cao army soldier finished speaking, Gao Shun waved his hand at a few Yulin guards on the side.
The two Yu Lin guards stepped forward, lifted the Cao soldier up, and dragged them towards the barracks like dead dogs.
Cao Jun, who was the first to respond to Gao Shun, was dragged away, and the rest of Cao Jun inadvertently raised their heads and looked at Gao Shun.
From the eyes of all the captured Cao Jun, Gao Shun could see a strong desire to survive.
But he didn't feel the slightest pity because of the pity in the eyes of the captured Cao Jun, but said to the Yulin guards: "Pretend to be a horse thief and disturb my Daqin." Nuisance the people, scourge the party! Is it tolerable or unbearable! Kill! β
I was expecting Gao Shun to order Yu Linwei to take them all into custody, but Cao Jun, who didn't expect him to give a slaughter order, all cried when he heard the word "kill".
Many Cao Jun even shouted "Gong Cao ordered me to wait" when they were crying, but Gao Shun didn't pay attention to them at all.
"Want to say it?" Listening to the cry of the captured Cao Jun, Gao Shun turned his head, glanced at them with slightly narrowed eyes, and said coldly: "It's a pity that it's too late!" β
As he spoke, Gao Shun waved his hand and rode his war horse towards the direction of the barracks, ignoring the crying Cao Jun at all.
After Gao Shun left, Yu Linwei, who was guarding the Cao army's captives, stepped forward one after another and kicked the Cao soldiers who were chaotic and fled in all directions, but were bound by ropes and could not escape.
Kicking the Cao Jun prisoners to the ground, one by one Yu Linwei raised the Pu knife in his hand and stabbed it hard at the head and neck of Cao Jun who was kicked over by them.
Yu Linwei's sword is different from the ordinary soldiers of the main force of the Qin army.
They have received strict training, and their knives are very accurate, and every time they stab Cao Jun who fell to the ground, they are impartial in the neck.
Streams of blood splashed up, and Cao Jun's crying became smaller and smaller, but in an instant, there were pieces of Cao Jun's corpse lying on the ground with his neck cut in half and his head not falling.
After exterminating the horse thieves pretended to be Cao Jun, Gao Shun summoned the nearby officials to the barracks, and after instructing the officials to strengthen the inspection, he led Yu Linwei back to Luoyang.
A few days later, Yu Linwei, who had won the battle from Hedong, escorted a Cao prisoner of war back to Luoyang City under the leadership of Gao Shun.
Riding tall horses, the Yulin guards had straight waists, round shields and crossbows behind their backs, and Pu knives in their right hands.
On both sides of the street, there were people standing who had come to watch.
It's just that from the high momentum of the Yulinwei soldiers and the prisoners of Cao Jun who were held in the prisoner cart in the middle of the team, the people of Luoyang can see that this time Yulinwei will definitely win the battle.
"Yu Linwei set out on the orders of His Royal Highness, and wiped out 8,000 troops pretending to be horse thieves Cao!" Riding a fast horse, he rushed out of the ranks of the Yulin Guard, and a Yulin Guard soldier galloped along the street on horseback, shouting loudly to the people in the street.
Gao Shun, who led the army, knew that the Cao army they annihilated that day was only 3,000 people, but when he heard the shouts of the Lin Wei, he did not stop it.
When the Qin army went out on an expedition, every time there was a great victory, when returning to Luoyang, they would falsely report the number of enemy soldiers killed along the way, so as to boost the morale of Luoyang.
Whenever he goes on an expedition, Yu Linwei, who will definitely return victorious, knows these things well.
Sure enough, when he learned that Yu Linwei had annihilated eight thousand Cao troops pretending to be horse thieves, the people of Luoyang in the market suddenly boiled.
Many of the people even found rotten vegetable leaves out of nowhere and threw them at the Cao army captives who were escorted by Yu Linwei.
After all, the people did not have the kind of accurate head of the Yulin guards, and although many of the rotten vegetable leaves thrown out fell on the heads and bodies of the Cao army prisoners, and the Cao army prisoners were smashed down and dodged, there were still some that fell on the Yulin guards.
The Yulin guards who were thrown by the vegetable leaves had bitter faces one by one, but because they were marching along the street, some of them had rotten vegetable leaves hanging on their helmets or shoulders, and they did not dare to reach out and take them off, so they could only have a piece of emerald green hanging on their red armor and follow the team to the barracks.
Leading Yu Linwei to the intersection of the military camp and the palace, Gao Shun raised his arm and stopped the march of the team.
He didn't speak, just waved his hand forward, turned around the warhorse, and walked in the direction of the palace.
Yu Linwei, who followed Gao Shun, except for a team of more than 100 people escorting the Cao army prisoners behind him, the rest walked towards another street to the barracks.
led more than 100 Yulin guards to escort the Cao army prisoners, and when they arrived outside the main gate of the palace, Gao Shun turned over and got off his horse.
A palace guard guarding the main gate hurriedly ran up, helped him hold the reins, and led the war horse aside.
The Yulin guards who followed Gao Shun also dismounted, but they did not follow Gao Shun into the palace, but waited in line outside the palace gate.
Several palace guards ran to the prisoner cart where Yu Linwei was escorting Cao Jun's prisoners, opened the prisoner cart, and dragged the Cao army prisoner out of the prison cart, and two of them dragged Cao Jun into the palace like dead dogs.
Cao Jun, who was dragged by the palace guards, knew that he would soon see the king of Qin.
Thinking of those Tong Ze who were slaughtered outside the Baibo Valley that day, he felt weak all over his body, and even his bones were all soft.
Pressing his sword, Gao Shun strode to the front, and did not stop until he reached the bottom of the stairs leading to the front hall.
"General Gao!" As soon as Gao Shun stopped, a guard guarding the main entrance of the front hall ran down the stairs, came to him, clasped his fists and saluted him, saying, "Your Highness has been waiting for a long time!" β
The palace guards were in the Qin army, because they undertook the responsibility of protecting Liu Wei, and their status was transcendent, even if they were Gao Shun, the commander of one of the three guards of the Qin army, when the guards saluted him, they also had to return the salute with their fists.
He put his hands together and saluted the guard, and said to the guard, "It's hard work! β
Without asking the guards who were dragging the Cao Jun prisoners behind him to bring the prisoners with him, Gao Shun glanced up at the stairs and strode up the stairs.
Outside the door of the front hall, Gao Shun untied the long sword he was wearing at his waist and handed it to a guard on the side, then he stood at the door, bowed to the hall with his fists and said: "The last general, Gao Shun, led the army to defeat the Cao army pretending to be a horse thief, and came to report to His Highness!" β
Sitting in the front hall, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen stood behind Liu Wei, and when Gao Shun went up the stairs, he had already seen Gao Shun from a distance.
Hearing Gao Shun say that he had defeated Cao Jun who was pretending to be a horse thief, Liu Wei said to the outside of the hall: "General Gao has worked hard, please come in and talk!" β
After receiving Liu Wei's order, Gao Shuncai hurriedly thanked him, stepped over the threshold of the front hall, and entered the hall.
"How many Cao troops did General Gao kill this time?" Sitting up straight, Liu Wei asked Gao Shun, "Have you found out from the mouth of the horse thief that they are Cao Jun's mouth?" β
"Your Royal Highness, the horse thieves are led by Cao Ren, Cao Hong, the generals of the Cao army, our army has killed a total of 3,000 Cao troops, captured one person, and has confessed!" Gao Shun did not report to Liu that he had ordered all the captives to be killed, but only the number of Cao soldiers killed and the generals he recognized.
