Chapter 38 Hangu Pass

"Oh, the sword cannot do it."

The tiger's mouth was so shocked that it hurt, and it even felt a little cracked. Li Yu raised the copper sword and saw that one side of the sword edge was covered with bumpy gaps. This copper sword worth a few gold was almost ruined. Although the construction technology is already very advanced, the Dazhao casting technology is even better than the world, but it is still far from the point of cutting iron like mud. Perhaps only those legendary famous swords have such power. If there is such a peerless sword, there will be more guarantee of life on the battlefield. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find in the world. Even if it exists, it will be treasured by those owners at home, and cherish it by themselves.

After changing his bronze sword again, Li Yu kept repeating the simple chopping movements until his body was a little weak, and he stopped.

Putting the copper sword on the rack, bursts of heat came out of Li Yu's body, his thin clothes were already wet, Huan'er and Lan'er on the side brought warm water and cloth towels at the right time, and the eyes of the two beauties were filled with admiration.

"General, Hangu Pass urgently reported."

Just after Li Yu finished breakfast, Xu An, the commander of the personal guard, walked in with a letter sealed with a bamboo tube. He opened the bamboo tube and took out the silk inside.

"The coalition forces have retreated to Qin without any damage."

There were only seven words on the silk, but Li Yu could see the loss in his father's heart, but it was not beyond his expectations. He had guessed this result long ago.

Although the five-nation coalition forces were huge, claiming to be 600,000, they belonged to different countries. There were two famous leaders, Xinling Jun and Chunshen Jun, which led to the five-nation coalition forces seemingly fierce but in a mess. However, the Qin State, facing the danger of national destruction, was tied up, and it was even more easy to defend and difficult to attack. Compared with the two, the result can be imagined. If the five countries could really work together, Qin State would have been destroyed dozens of times, so where would there be the Qin army soldiers who dominate the world now?

"The coalition forces retreated."

"General, what should I do now?"

"Nothing needs to be done, just train our own cavalry."

"promise."

Having expected this result, Li Yu was still a little disappointed. After all, what Zhao needs most now is time to recuperate. If you can beat Qin a little harder, Zhao will have more chances to restore its strength. Moreover, this opportunity is really great. Bai Qi's death made the Qin soldiers lose their backbone, and the army of attacking Zhao was defeated one after another. This was the time when Qin's morale was at its lowest. If the order could be unified, it would be unknown that the five-nation coalition forces took advantage of the situation to destroy Qin.

Put aside those illusions that should not be done. In the war era, it is better to rely on yourself. The power you have mastered is the most reliable. I hope that those illusions will die sooner or later, and Li Yu still wants to live longer.

After sorting out his mood, Li Yu went to the city wall to inspect. He is now the supreme commander of the city guards and the palace guards, and he is responsible for both the city defense and the palace defense of the Handan city. He may not blame him for anything, but Li Yu's face is not good, and he may lose a lot of points in the heart of King Zhao.

After walking on the city wall, Li Yu took his personal guard to the Qin surrender camp in the north of Handan City.

After the war, the Zhao army gathered all the Qin soldiers outside Handan City, all in a camp outside Handan City. With the nearly 30,000 surrendered troops from Zheng Anping, there were more than 40,000 people.

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, this group of Qin troops was still led by Wuyang Jun Zheng Anping, but the eight generals below have changed to Zhao **, and the weapons of the surrendered soldiers were confiscated, and the rest of the food and treatment were not deducted. In addition, there are 20,000 Zhao troops stationed in the northwest direction of the Qin army's surrendered soldiers, and it is always good to prevent problems before they happen.

"How are Mr. Wuyang lately?" When he arrived at the gate of the camp, Li Yu saw Zheng Anping greeting him, took the lead in dismounting, and greeted him. In terms of title, Zheng Anping was above him, and Li Yu's title was Yaqing.

"Everything is fine in Anping, General Li is concerned about it." Although he was named Wuyang Jun, Zheng Anping had a self-knowledge. He knew that this was all for appeasement of the 40,000 Qin soldiers, so he put his own position very low.

"In the end, check the soldiers' food in the future, and I hope Mr. Wuyang will not blame him." In front of people, etiquette and other things must be done to leave a good impression on people. Li Yu would not care about these things.

"Please, General Li."

Under the leadership of Zheng Anping, Li Yu looked around the camp and found that although the Qin army surrendered soldiers had their weapons, they were still practicing naked. They were not full of energy and were still able to pass. It seemed that Wu Yangjun's ability to control the soldiers was still very good. Li Yu suddenly felt that he was really lucky to force the Qin army to surrender at a small price.

"General Li, this camp has a total of 42,336 people. The camp is divided into eight areas, six infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions, each with more than 5,000 people, and is under the jurisdiction of eight generals. This is..."

Along the way, Zheng Anping introduced the structure of the camp to Li Yu in detail. The data were very detailed. After more than half an hour, Li Yu also visited the camp and learned a lot of knowledge from it.

"The Lord Wuyang is so proud of his ability to command soldiers." After inspecting the camp, Li Yu sincerely greeted Zheng Anping.

"I am a defeated general under the general, how dare I speak out about my troops?"

"Mr. Wuyang's words are wrong. His previous defeat was a change of luck and could not be saved by human resources. Why do you have to blame yourself? When will you have time, please ask Mr. Wuyang to gather at the Imperial Mansion? At that time, Yu will ask Mr. Wuyang for advice."

"I am ashamed of being accused of being accused of being the one. Anping must go there as General Li asked."

After visiting the camp, Li Yu discovered a little problem and said to Zheng Anping: "Yu has a request, please let Wu Yangjun agree?"

"Please speak with General Li."

"Although the 40,000 troops of Yuguan are not veterans, they are also elite soldiers. The training needs to be strengthened. I hope that the Lord of Wuyang will increase the training so that they can become elite soldiers as soon as possible so as to resist the Huns. As for the food and grass required, the Imperial Council requested the king to pay the money." Li Yu had no concealment about the whereabouts of the 40,000 surrendered troops. After Li Mu on the front line of Hangu Pass returned, he would take the 40,000 surrendered troops to Yanmen and resist the Huns in Daijun.

"As General Li said." Zheng Anping also knew Li Yu's thoughts, and kept training the surrendered troops to waste their energy a little more, so as to save them from being bored and thinking about things that would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Thank you, Mr. Wuyang."

After watching the surrendered army camp, Li Yu went to his camp to take a look. The training sound in the cavalry camp that had replenished the 5,000-plus numbers was shaken, which was essentially different from the surrendered army camp. Li Yu heard it from afar outside the camp.

"Brother Xu, it seems that Brother Xu is pretty good to lead troops."

"The general has over-rewarded."

“This is not an over-the-top award.”

"I'll pay homage to the general."

When he rode to the camp, he learned that Li Yu had come to inspect and welcomed him with several lieutenants. Li Yu smiled and patted them on the shoulder: "Second Brother Xu, Tai Duwei, Gong Duwei, Yang Duwei, Mao Duwei, thank you for your hard work."
