Chapter 1306

Gao Yang said with a calm face.

"Burned the tribe?"

"Threw in fire oil bombs, burned it down with the wind—why keep it?" Gao Yang said as if it were a matter of course.

Wang Zhong: "..."

Lu Zhen: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Worthy of being a poisonous strategist, ruthless enough!

After a long while.

Gao Tianlong lowered his voice and spoke.

"But this old man is curious, when did you, this brat, become so enlightened? Daring to take risks and raid the Xiongnu's rear? If you had fallen into the hands of the Xiongnu, you would have had a hard time."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang's expression remained very calm.

He said to Gao Tianlong, "Grandfather's words are wrong; this subordinate doesn't have much hatred for the Xiongnu. With this subordinate's status, as long as I wasn't unlucky enough to be killed on the spot, it's nothing more than changing to another master."

"Whether this subordinate's life is sold or kept for my own use, it is far more valuable than being killed!"

"The Xiongnu are just a bit stupid, not idiots; they wouldn't kill this subordinate in a fit of rage."

Upon hearing this, Gao Tianlong's mouth twitched.

He said angrily, "If His Majesty heard these words, he would probably be moved to tears."

"When the news of your disappearance reached Changancheng, His Majesty's eight-hundred-mile urgent dispatch only had one sentence: alive to see the person, dead to see the corpse."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang awkwardly touched his nose.

"These words are naturally only for us grandfather and grandson to say in private; they are not to be passed to outsiders."

"This subordinate will lay his cards on the table: it's actually because this subordinate saw the stalemate between the two armies, and if it went on like this, what would happen to this subordinate's female captives? There was no way, I had to charge myself."

"But the quality of these Xiongnu women is uneven; for the younger ones, this subordinate will struggle for a while, but for the older ones, shall I send them to Grandfather's tent tonight?"

Gao Tianlong: "..."

He looked at Gao Yang angrily and shook his head, "This old man doesn't want them; my taste isn't that heavy."

"But is this brat really thinking like this?"

Gao Tianlong stared at Gao Yang, snorted coldly, and then said, "This reminds me of what the Second Princess of Chu said."

"What words?"

"You are not hard anywhere on your body, only that mouth is harder than iron."

Gao Yang: "..."

"Grandfather, if you say that, the insult is a bit big; if it were an ordinary person, this subordinate would have to fight him one-on-one."

Gao Yang was about to ask for an explanation to clear his name, when he saw Gao Tianlong take a step and walk forward.

His vigorous voice rang out, "Today, you are all heroes of Great Qian!"

"After this battle, this old man will personally request merit for you all; everyone will be heavily rewarded!"

Following Gao Tianlong's words.

An excited roar immediately rang out in the army.

Gao Tianlong raised his right hand and shouted loudly, "Great Qian, Wan Sheng!"

The next instant.

Everyone shouted in unison.

"Great Qian, Wan Sheng!"

"Great Qian, Wan Sheng!"

The huge sound waves gathered together, spreading in all directions of the entire camp, infecting countless soldiers and inspiring them.

A smile appeared on Gao Tianlong's aged face, feeling relieved.

The Great Qian front-line army urgently needed this inspiring great victory.

Gao Yang's battle results came just right, came at the perfect time.

Otherwise, he would have really ordered a retreat in these few days and stopped tangling with the Xiongnu.

Even at this moment.

Gao Tianlong still couldn't believe it, as if in a dream—that was the Xiongnu Chanyu's lair in the Xuanshui River bend.

And it was just wiped out by Gao Yang leading his eight hundred personal guards?

The Chanyu's grandfather, uncle, second grand-uncle, eldest cousin, and great-grandmother all became prisoners.

Unbelievable.

This battle was enough to be recorded in history.

After a full half-hour, the camp was still in a state of boiling blood.

Gao Tianlong and the others re-entered the tent.

Lu Zhen said immediately, "Grand General, we must send the news by fast horse to Changancheng; I suppose His Majesty is almost worried sick."

Upon hearing this, Gao Tianlong also nodded and said, "Someone, pass this old man's order to send the news to Changancheng at the first moment to put His Majesty at ease."

"These few days, I fear the peace faction in the court hasn't been very honest, and His Majesty has also been stifled for several days; it's time to let His Majesty display his linguistic art."

With Gao Yang's battle results, Gao Tianlong was very confident; in a head-on confrontation, it was impossible for the Xiongnu to defeat Great Qian and achieve a great victory!

Soon.

Following Gao Tianlong's order, a rider galloped from the camp toward Changancheng to deliver the news at the first moment.

At the same time, because Gao Yang broke the stalemate and achieved results, this made Gao Tianlong not in a hurry.

As long as the front line didn't collapse, this battle result alone was enough to give the world an explanation; on the contrary, he could continue to wrestle with the Xiongnu.

After the messenger left and a series of counts and verifications, Lu Zhen couldn't help but ask.

"Brat, you dared to raid the desert with these eight hundred men; weren't you afraid of encountering Xiongnu pursuit?"

These words drew curious gazes from Li Zhenxiao, Sun Jingbian, and others.

Clearly, they were also very curious about this point.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang directly smiled and said, "Grandpa Lu, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Why are the Xiongnu so tricky? It's nothing more than their warhorses being fat and strong in autumn and winter, and their riding and archery skills being good."

"But the eight hundred personal guards under this subordinate are all elites, and the warhorses are also the best in the army, and they are equipped with horseshoes, stirrups, and other things!"

"To summarize in one sentence: small-scale elite raids, the Xiongnu's warhorses don't run as fast as ours, and our army also has the Po Lu bows for long-range harassment, so what is there to fear?"

"To pursue, kill, and encircle, one must first catch up with my eight hundred personal guards!"

If these words were said before, they would just laugh it off, but now, they analyzed it word by word.

Listening... it made sense!

"What about grain and supplies?"

"The army is raiding long-distance; how are the supplies for people and warhorses solved?"

Lu Zhen's words once again asked the core of the problem.

Wang Zhong also nodded and said, "People are easy to talk about; as long as there is water, they can hold on for a few more days, but what about the warhorses? If the burden is too heavy, the warhorse speed will be greatly reduced; if it's too little, warhorses are delicate things. If they don't eat well, they will really kick!"

Gao Yang's expression was calm as he explained, "Small-scale elite combat relies on speed; naturally, you can't carry too many supplies!"

Speaking of this, Gao Yang paused specifically.

Sun Jingbian asked curiously, "Lord Gao, since that's the case, how should supplies be solved?"

Gao Yang said as if it were a matter of course, "Naturally, by grabbing!"

"There are so many Xiongnu tribes living in the Xuanshui River bend; encountering one is a gift from heaven, just resupply on the spot."

"As long as the speed is fast enough, in the Xuanshui River bend where news spreads extremely slowly, the whereabouts are top secret."

"Hiss!"

Once these words were out, Wang Zhong, Lu Zhen, and others all had thoughtful expressions.

These words, they sounded so reasonable!

If you don't have it... then grab!

If you didn't bring it... then grab!

In short, one word: grab! ===== CHAPTER 1308 =====
