Returning in Triumph, Sacrificing Blood to the Heavens (1)
——–A pretty good opponent. This was the evaluation that He Shi Hai gave the other party after striking. Because pretty good, He Shi Hai’s blood all began boiling, wielding the long spear in hand vigorously.
In an instant, the blades crossed countless times. He Shi Hai became increasingly excited, while Daxian Wang gradually lost stamina. He could also tell, the other party simply didn’t use his full power, else he would’ve long lost his life. However, as long as their was a thread of hope, his body will just instinctively battle, unwilling to give up.
The other party was gradually weakening, yet He Shi Hai was losing interest. Daxian Wang, this big fish, to just kill like this, certainly would be unfortunate. As such, He Shi Hai’s attack also subsequently weakened, right about to………..
Su Bu Fu suddenly charged over, rushing before He Shi Hai and having West Xiongnu’s Daxian knocked down from the horse.
He Shi Hai lifted his brow. When he’d caught glimpse of the shadow, he actually had already stopped his attack. He glanced at Su Bu Fu as well as the person behind him. Exactly who made the move, how could it be kept from his eyes. This kind of clumsy and despicable way of stealing military achievement…….
Heheh, as expected of someone of the Su family. ——Towards Su Bu Fu’s real identity, he also knew, and towards the matter of dealing with Su Bu Fu, He Shi Hai also had an understanding inside. A weak and fragile scholar, even if having several months of experience, could it be that he’ll just instantly become impressive? Impressive to the point of being able to steal someone from his hands, even if he was lowering the difficulty?
Speaking of which, He Shi Hai wasn’t someone that cared about military achievements that much. He merely just enjoyed the process. What the outcome will be was all secondary. Towards Su Bu Fu, he flashed a slightly strange smile, and just turned to look for another target, appearing indifferent.
Su Bu Fu raised his brows. Capturing the enemy’s main commander was an enormous military achievement. Based on this, one can even ascend the heavens in a single step, else he wouldn’t have rashly made a move. Seeing that the war with Xiongnu will end soon, his military achievements although appear pretty good, his promotion speed also quite quick, something that many people won’t be able to achieve in their entire life, but for him, this was still far from enough. Seeing that West Xiongnu Daxian Wang was close at hand, and even because of He Shi Hai, completely at a disadvantage, he made a move without thinking, yet unexpectedly succeeded this easily.
Recently, because the army camp was tightly sealed off, Su Bu Fu was still completely unaware of many things.
From the beginning, he already had a bad premonition, and now, this kind of feeling grew increasingly intense, especially after hearing West Xiongnu Daxian Wang’s words earlier. Although it might be the other party’s attempt to sow discord, Su Bu Fu still felt alarmed. If it’s true, then wasn’t Jin Qinwang’s chessboard a bit too big, and hidden way too deeply. From Jin Qinwang’s conduct and style normally, one can already tell, he absolutely wasn’t easy to deal with. If he also were to hold power in hand, then his danger level was practically a straight line shooting up. As such, how could the others still survive.
Additionally, even if clearly knowing his Majesty’s attitude towards Fu Yun Ting, Su Bu Fu still could only helplessly watch him accumulate more and more military exploits. Under the premise of not being able to interfere, he can only do his best to gain more military contributions for himself. As for his Majesty’s matter, clearly can only pretend to not know. As the saying goes, ‘can’t blame the unaware’. The military contributions were clearly placed there, even his Majesty can’t do anything about it, so he must pave a path for himself.
However, there was a myriad of changes on the battlefield at very second. At the slightest negligence, there was the danger of losing one’s life. Right now, Su Bu Fu naturally didn’t have the luxury to think about that much. He can only harden his head and continue forward. In any case, he long didn’t have a way out. He can only advance and cannot retreat. That’s why, facing He Shi Hai’s peculiar gaze, he also pretended to not see, turning his head and saying to the person behind him, “Tie him up!”
In this way, this battle, although disastrous, it was still just as how Fu Yun Ting had expected. Qi Yuan’s casualty, compared to previously, rose by quite a bit, but it was also something that can’t be helped. The final outcome however was still satisfying. West Xiongnu’s Daxian Wang was captured alive. The remaining people similarly either became captives, or just got beheaded on the spot.
West Xiongnu Daxian Wang got pressed to kneel on the ground by two Qi Yuan soldiers. Because his arms and legs were already broken, there was no need to worry about two ordinary soldiers not being able to keep him under control.
Fu Yun Ting sat on horseback, looking down from above at Daxian Wang, his expression empty.
Another general came forward, “Commander, one thousand six hundred and fifty-three Xiongnu soldiers captured, the amount beheaded temporarily unknown, but there’s no fish that escaped the net. How should the captives be dealt with?”
Fu Yun Ting didn’t reveal the slightest emotion on his face, manifesting the mighty presence of a main commander, “Pass down the order, order to have the battlefield cleaned up, while the rest of the people escort the captives immediately back to the camp.”
TN: All
Qi Yuan’s camp was merely fifty li from the border. Having captives, they were unable to proceed at full speed, but the situation right now wasn’t pressing either, so the time was very adequate.
In the main tent, Li Hong Yuan sat upright in the main seat, nonchalantly flipping through the documents on the table. Fu Yun Ting as well as the generals under him, lifted the curtain and entered. Originally, they were still talking, but after seeing him, they immediately froze, the expressions on their faces all locked in place, appearing a bit comical. Fu Yun Ting was still okay. As his personal guards guarding outside the tent, they’d already soundlessly given him a signal just now, thus he was mentally prepared.
Li Hong Yuan lifted his eyes and glanced at them, “So you’ve returned.”
Returning to their senses, they hurriedly greeted, “Greetings to wangye.”
“How was it?” Li Hong Yuan calmly asked.
“Replying to wangye, everything went smoothly. As for what to do next, asking for wangye’s instructions.” Fu Yun Ting said.
“You’re the main commander. To ask this prince for instructions, what use is there having you?” Jin Qinwang’s attitude towards Fu Yun Ting has never been good.
Fu Yun Ting although was long used to it, in front of this many subordinates, he more or less was still somewhat awkward and uncomfortable. However, right now, he can be considered to have ‘copper skin and iron bones’, not batting an eye on the surface. Since Jin Qinwang wasn’t going to participate in this matter, then he already knew what to do, “Wangye, West Xiongnu’s main commander Daxian Wang got captured alive. Does wangye want to meet?”
“Oh? Who was the one that captured him?” Li Hong Yuan appeared to have that bit of interest.
Fu Yun Ting turned sideways, signaling Su Bu Fu to come forward, “Wangye, this person, surname Su, name Bu Fu, originally an ordinary soldier, just his ability and wisdom surpassed others. In the battle with Xiongnu, he accumulated many military exploits, and this time, capturing Daxian Wang alive is also his credit.”
Li Hong Yuan narrowed his eyes, sizing up Su Bu Fu. A moment later, he suddenly smiled, “All good men of Qi Yuan. Don’t forget to report in detail to imperial father. Such contributions, believe that imperial father absolutely won’t treat poorly. The same goes for the others.”
“Don’t worry wangye, this humble general certainly will take care of this matter.”
Getting stared at by Jin Qinwang, Su Bu Fu just felt his heart about to jump out. He kept having a kind of getting stripped naked and seen through feeling. Although Jin Qinwang was actually more or less the same as the other high ranking generals present, all not familiar with him, but facing Jin Qinwang’s gaze, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy, needing to give his all in order to keep his body from trembling. That feeling, compared to certain animals getting targeted by their natural predator, was countless times scarier.
Li Hong Yuan closed the document in hand, waving his hand at them, “You all can withdraw, and have Daxian Wang brought in.”
“This humble general will take one’s leave.” Each and every one were like as if given a great pardon. They truly didn’t want to face this living Enma, walking out in a line.
Daxian Wang got dragged in by two people, casually throwing on the ground, appearing exceptionally pitiful.
“What’s this for? For better or worse a Xian Wang of Xiongnu, his position second only to the Xiongnu King. The most basic honor is still necessary, offer a seat.” Although it was said as such, his mannerism absolutely didn’t reflect this.
With the living Enma issuing the word, they naturally didn’t dare to slight, hurriedly having Daxian Wang supported up.
