Jundushan Great Wall.

Although the cold winter has passed, the new spring has not yet arrived, and the grassland is not green and lush. The grassland is sparse, and there is mud and weeds everywhere.

The cold wind blows, and a red sunset appears on the horizon.

The cold city wall surrounds the low mountain. The tiles and bricks on the city wall are cracked, and huge gaps and wounds are exposed.

The gate of the city tower was open, and there were many soldiers standing on it, holding bows and crossbows, patrolling back and forth.

Soldiers surrounded both sides of the city gate.

The prisoners lowered their heads, some were tied up, and some only had their weapons and armor taken away. They lowered their heads and walked into the city gate with despair on their faces.

The queue is so long that it can't end as far as the eye can see.

After the prisoners, there were many things, including war horses, cattle, sheep, and cart after cart of grain.

These grains are refined grains and are usually fed to war horses. War horses are different from ordinary horses and cannot only be fed weeds. Sometimes, what the war horses eat may be better than what the knights eat.

The items have been transported for three days and have not yet been shipped.

On a high slope not far away, Gao Changgong looked at the last batch of prisoners being transported in, finally took off his mask and smiled.

Under the sunset, the general stood on horseback with a smile on his face. The armor on his body was stained with blood and had many wounds. Together with his flawless and handsome face, it looked like a picture scroll.

Yao Xiong beside him looked at him blankly, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Not only Yao Xiong, but also the junior officers and the knights in the bodyguard were all stunned at this moment.

"The bravery of Guan and Zhang, the appearance of Pan An"

Someone lamented.

Yao Xiong also made his own evaluation, "It's fierce and damn good-looking."

Gao Changgong looked at Yao Xiong with a serious expression, "Thank you, General Yao."

"Oh, Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. Just call me by my nickname. Why do you have to do this?"

"I charged too quickly. If General Yao hadn't taken charge and gathered up the formation, I might have been scattered first."

Yao Xiong also scratched his head at this moment, "Haha, it's okay. Speaking of which, I also stole the king's first credit."

"That person is very human. General Yao helped me capture this person. How can I use the word 'rob'?"

Yao Xiong became even happier and laughed.

"I think the king is much more powerful than the old man!!"

At this moment, a group of knights appeared in the distance. They rushed towards here and waved a big flag. When he saw the big flag, Yao Xiong shrank and said, "Here comes the one who wants to punish you."

Bao Xian led more than a hundred riders to this place in a hurry, and walked non-stop all the way to the front of Gao Changgong and others.

The old man's face was ashen and his eyes were sharp. As soon as he arrived, he looked in the direction of Yao Xiong.

Gao Changgong hurriedly led everyone to dismount and pay homage to Baoxian.

Baoxian looked at the people in front of him and was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty is really brave."

"With a small force attacking a large number, we have gained so much. From the fourth year of Tianbao to now, there has never been such a great victory."

"I just don't know what the casualties are?"

"Two hundred and seventy-three knights were killed and more than 300 were injured. Nine hundred and thirty-five of the knights were killed and more than 2,000 were injured."

Baoxian nodded, "It's okay."

"Old General, I did not obey your order and sent troops privately. This is not because I despise the old general. I just felt that I could not retain the enemy with my own ability, so I chose a simpler method and attacked first."

Baoxian slowly looked into the distance. The black smoke there had not subsided yet, and he could still see black pillars rising into the sky.

"Simple."

Baoxian nodded, "I said before, the best way to play is the way that suits you best. If the king thinks that this method is the simplest and most effective, then it will be the best."

"But, why doesn't your Majesty continue to attack?"

"Ah? Do you still want to attack?"

"The Khan of the east has been killed, but the Turkic Khan has not yet arrived. The tribes in the east are loose and have no leadership. Now is the best time to seize the opportunity to uproot their tribes."

Gao Changgong reacted, "Wei!!"

"Yao Xiong stays."

"ah?"

Yao Xiong looked at Baoxian in astonishment, his face full of disbelief, "Why?"

"You're still talking about it! I heard someone say that King Lanling, the leader of the general, broke the formation and beheaded the general, but he had already knocked the opponent's general off his horse, and you just went up to behead him. How can you take the head off?!"

Yao Xiong's face turned red, "I"

Gao Changgong hurriedly explained: "Old General, that's not the case. The situation was critical at that time. How could we care about this. We fell off our horses at the same time. If it weren't for Yao Changying, we still don't know the outcome."

Baoxian nodded, "This guy has always been like this. It's okay, Your Majesty, if you don't take offense."

Yao Xiong hesitated to speak, but could only watch helplessly as King Lanling led the cavalry and galloped away, with a look of frustration on his face.

"You have done a lot of work, let others get some back, don't be greedy."

"Go back with me."

Bao Xian waved, and Yao Xiong followed him dejectedly.

Bao Xian then said displeasedly: "How can a leader be so impulsive? So reckless? How many times have I told you this?"

"You really can't blame me this time. King Lanling looks kind and peaceful, but when he fights, he is much more irritable than me!!"

"You didn't see him. I couldn't catch up with him. He didn't care about his formation or the enemy's position. He just rushed and attacked whoever he caught. He had no military skills and no worries. Let alone the Turks.

, even if I meet such a person, I will be stunned!"

"When he fights, he is very similar to his relatives. He has a deadly fighting style. When he rushes like this, I become a general. I have been gathering the knights together for fear of being scattered, and I have to protect him on both sides.

, just afraid that he will die first."

Yao Xiong immediately complained.

Bao Xian reprimanded him again: "Without your consent, how could he go to the battlefield?"

"But we won. Why should we be reprimanded even if we won?"

"You are the commander-in-chief, stationed at the frontier, and nearly a million people in the state are under your protection. War is not for showing off your bravery, nor for competing for superiority, but for protecting the country and the people."

"It's good that you won the battle, but what if you were defeated? The enemy marches straight in, and the entire Youzhou will be plundered by the enemy. With more than 100,000 cavalry, there will be no grass and ruins everywhere."

"If you are a deputy general or a vanguard, then forget it, but the general must consider defeat before considering victory."

Listening to Bao Xian's words, Yao Xiong became even more irritable. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and reined in his horse.

"Why didn't you tell Prince Lanling just now?"

Bao Xian also reined in his horse and turned to look at Yao Xiong, who was full of anger. Yao Xiong asked: "Prince Lanling is also the commander-in-chief of Youzhou. Behind him is also Youzhou, which is his defense zone. Why didn't you tell him this? But

Are you always staring at me and scolding me?"

Bao Xian smiled, not caring about Yao Xiong's anger at all, "Because he is the king of princes. Who are you?"

"I am Yao Xiong!!"

"He is the king of vassals, and all of Daqi belongs to him. Even if he fails, there are still people who protect him. No one dares to embarrass him. Even if he loses Youzhou, he can return to Yecheng and continue to be his own vassal king. What about you?

?”

"Without his background and talent, you don't want to improve yourself, just get some military honors and start feeling complacent? Do you still want to compare yourself with him?"

Yao Xiong's eyes turned red, "You just despise me!"

"It's not just him, there are many generals in the army, Han Chinese and Xianbei people. Why don't they listen to you and reprimand them?!"

He suddenly said, "Is he looking down on you?"

"Then you should find a way to make me value you."

"What do you have that I value?!"

Looking at the angry Yao Xiong, Bao Xian smiled again and said: "Well, be prepared. I will review this battle with you tonight. If you can convince me once, you can resist my army of one hundred thousand by yourself."

, I only value you this once."

"good!"

Yao Xiong galloped away angrily.

The officer looked at Yao Xiong walking away and secretly looked at Bao Xian, "Old General. This General Yao is General Wei's confidant after all, you." Bao Xian narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Many years ago, I and him

At an average age, at that time, the generals on my left and right were all from Xianbei and Qihu in the surrounding area, and no one paid any attention to me."

"The more this happens, the more you have to pay so that people don't dare to look down on themselves."

Wuchuan.

The carriage was swaying, and the knights in front and behind were drooping their heads. Even they, after traveling for so long, were feeling a little tired.
