Chapter 1758: The shock of surrender, the news that stunned Gao Yang

~7 min read 1,207 words

The next day.

Golden sunlight covers the entire Hexi land, and a large river flows, making a crisp splashing sound.

This is the Langya River!

A main stream in Hexi, running through the north-south mountain range.

Beside the Langya River.

Great Qian military flags cover the sky, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen look cold, riding tall horses and staring directly at the Xiongnu camp ahead.

Before ten thousand horses.

Gao Yang rides a jujube-red tall horse, followed by Wang Xiao and others.

"Chancellor Gao, this Prince Zhenyue is a ruthless man; he actually beheaded the Chanyu's personal guard and Prince Langya, and even sent their heads over."

Wang Xiao says to Gao Yang.

Li Erji, Pu Duo, and others nod repeatedly, in a great mood.

Prince Zhenyue beheading Prince Langya, his intention to surrender is barely concealed, which also means that this battle in Hexi will no longer cause any major waves.

They can also return in triumph and be rewarded for their merits.

Gao Yang looks at the camp not far away and says lightly: "Prince Zhenyue just made the right choice."

"This is not hard to understand. The Hexi land has always been a struggle between two princes. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot hold two tigers unless one is male and one is female, let alone Prince Zhenyue and Prince Langya."

"Even without this incident with the Xiongnu Great Chanyu, do you think Prince Zhenyue didn't have the heart to kill Prince Langya?"

"By killing Prince Langya, he becomes the greatest king in the Hexi land and can easily annex Prince Langya's forces... Furthermore, the Empress rewarding one king and rewarding two kings are two different concepts!"

As soon as Gao Yang says this.

Everyone is enlightened and nods repeatedly.

What Gao Yang said makes great sense. As he said, one king surrendering and two kings surrendering at the same time, even their status is different!

"But be careful. Once forces are annexed and they have to lead their subordinates to surrender, riots can easily occur."

"Once this sign appears, it must be nipped in the bud!"

Gao Yang looks down at the Xiongnu camp several miles away, very vigilantly.

Wang Xiao looks on with admiration.

Look, this is the gap!

Gao Yang is worthy of being Great Qian's number one poisonous scholar. Even at this age, he is terrifyingly cautious!

Pu Duo looks calm and smiles, "Chancellor Gao, you can rest assured. The Xiongnu have always admired strength. Your divine might in these few battles has spread throughout the Hexi land, and wherever you go, the Xiongnu are terrified!"

"How could this cause a major riot?"

Li Erji twitches his mouth, "Old Pu, you are licking so much I can't even listen to it."

"How do you know the Xiongnu admire strength?"

Pu Duo says naturally, "I am of Xiongnu origin!"

Pu Duo points his hand at the flowing river water by the Langya River and says loudly, "My worship of you, Chancellor, is like the spring water by the Langya River, endless, and like the rolling weak water, unstoppable!"

Li Erji: "..."

When it comes to licking, it has to be Pu Duo!

Just as Li Erji wants to spray Pu Duo, a change suddenly occurs!

Zhao Bushi, who has always been relatively steady among the generals, suddenly points to the middle of the Xiongnu camp and says.

"Chancellor Gao, not good!"

"Look!"

In fact, even if Zhao Bushi didn't say it, Gao Yang noticed it immediately.

The Langya River bank where Great Qian is located allows them to look down and easily see everything in the Xiongnu camp.

In the middle, there is visible chaos, and some Xiongnu people have even raised Prince Langya's flag!

Li Erji has a violent temper and says immediately, "Chancellor Gao, these Xiongnu dare to rebel. Please order to destroy them quickly!"

"No, this should be a subordinate general under Prince Langya making trouble, not everyone under Prince Zhenyue rebelling!" Wang Xiao says.

"Chancellor Gao, we must find a way to curb this riot now, otherwise, if it spreads, there will be big trouble!"

Zhao Bushi feels it is tricky and speaks to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang says quickly, "The surrender of Hexi has far more benefits than drawbacks. The surrender must proceed smoothly. Unless it is a last resort, the army cannot move!"

"The Xiongnu are already terrified and suspicious. If the army moves, the Xiongnu will surely be scared and might even flee in defeat!"

"There is no other way. I can only use my own prestige, take dozens of personal guards, kill into the Xiongnu camp, and behead this troublemaking subordinate general of Prince Langya!"

As he speaks, Gao Yang makes a move to draw his saber.

"Hiss!"

Hearing this, the generals gasp.

Taking dozens of cavalry to charge into a Xiongnu camp of fifty thousand, using his reputation as a killer, and beheading the troublemaking subordinate general with lightning speed.

How domineering this is!

How dangerous this is!

"Chancellor Gao is truly a god. Although your prestige is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Hexi Xiongnu, charging into a camp of fifty thousand with dozens of cavalry is too dangerous!"

Wang Xiao's eyes are full of admiration, and while giving a thumbs up, he speaks to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang pauses, his gaze instantly looking at Wang Xiao, a smile appearing on his face.

When Wang Xiao sees this smile, his tiger body shakes.

Damn it!

Not good!

Gao Yang looks at Wang Xiao, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Captain Wang also thinks it's dangerous? Coincidentally, I think so too!"

"It's not that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, but I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If I die, I fear it will be unfavorable for the war!"

"Since that is the case, Captain Wang should take my place, lead dozens of elite cavalry to kill into the Xiongnu camp, and behead the troublemaking subordinate general!"

"I will sit here and command. Once Captain Wang is in danger, I will immediately lead the army to rescue you!"

"How about it?"

Wang Xiao: "..."

Damn it!

He shouldn't have been so loose-lipped!

This camp of fifty thousand is uncontrollable once he charges in. Can he still charge out?

Won't he be minced into meat paste?!

But there is no way.

Once Gao Yang's military order is out, he can only bite the bullet and go.

"My personal guards, the time to build merit has come! Charge with me!"

"Behead the troublemaking subordinate general!"

Wang Xiao looks murderous, gives an order, and then charges out on horseback.

Behind him, dozens of personal guards follow.

Clip!

Clip-clop!

With horse hooves stepping, Wang Xiao charges straight toward the Xiongnu camp.

Gao Yang watches from afar and cannot help but praise, "Captain Wang, no... I, Gao Yang, am truly a tiger general!"

Everyone: "..."

Several miles of distance are covered in an instant!

The Xiongnu guards see these dozens of cavalry charging and face a great enemy. When they see the Great Qian army not moving, they feel relieved!

Just then.

Lu Zhen, who senses the movement, comes on horseback and asks Gao Yang.

"Kid, what's the situation?"
