The most arrogant in history

Chapter 567: Riot in the tent.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Lu Kaijiang is one of the Five Tiger Generals and has been on the battlefield for a long time. He will not let your brother go deep into the heart of the Xiongnu. Moreover, the ambush troops led by Huang Jian and Cheng Yulong are also ahead. We are absolutely safe."

The next morning, Lu Kaijiang finally returned with Prince Ye Feng.

Both of them were covered in blood, but their spirits were high.

"Father!"

Ye Feng dismounted and greeted his father, smiling, "Father, I did not bring shame to you. I killed more than a dozen Xiongnu soldiers with my own hands. Moreover, we chased the enemy for more than a hundred miles and captured many prisoners."

"Shut up!"

Ye Kun frowned and shouted, "When we left the capital, I ordered you to protect Mingzhu and not to chase after the enemy. Why did you leave your sister in the camp and chase after the enemy yourself, and only returned after two days?"

Ye Feng was stunned, then lowered his head and said, "The Yinshan Camp is very safe. My sister is here, and there are more than 200 attendants and palace maids. She doesn't need my protection."

Lu Kaijiang clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, it was my idea to take the prince out for some experience."

"Pull him down!"

Ye Kun was angrily: "It must be Ye Feng. The young man is so strong that he disobeyed my orders and insisted on chasing and killing the enemy. I will deal with you when I return!"

Lu Kaijiang and Ye Feng looked at each other and stuck out their tongues.

Ye Kun asked again: "How is the battle going in front?"

Lu Kaijiang said: "General Guan Yong's army and the Fuling Corps are advancing across the grassland. General Guan said that this time he will not turn back until the enemy is five hundred miles away."

Ye Kun nodded: "Send a convoy and horses to pick up General Guan Yong and transfer the prisoners and spoils."

The results of this battle were remarkable.

More than 10,000 Huns were captured, and hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, horses, and many tents and other supplies were looted.

Ye Feng asked for battle again: "Father, I still want to..."

"You want thirty lashes!"

Ye Kun glared: "You rest here for a while, and then come with me to lead the troops to escort the prisoners back to Zhuo County."

The correspondent has sent a telegram to Zhuo County to report safety.

Jiang Yourong stayed in the palace and was relieved to learn that Ye Feng had returned to the Yinshan camp.

The weather is cold north of Yinshan Mountain.

It’s only mid-October and it’s already snowing heavily.

Guan Yong and others returned one after another, bringing back a large number of prisoners and cattle and sheep.

Ye Kun hosted a banquet for everyone to celebrate the success and had a farewell chat with Guan Yongchang.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Guan Yong's temples have turned gray.

However, in the past two years, Guan Yong has been in the Yinshan camp and has not fought much, but he has maintained himself very well and even gained weight.

Ye Kun pulled Guan Yong to sit next to him, and sighed, "My good brother, your hair is all white, but you are still serving the country. It's so cold and snowy here, I am sorry for you."

"emperor!"

Guan Yong choked up and said, "Thanks to the Emperor for not abandoning me. Since we became sworn brothers, he has entrusted me with important tasks and great power. I was originally a farmer in Guanjia Village, but now I am the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, famous all over the world. What else can I not be satisfied with? Moreover, although I have been stationed at the border in the past few years, I have not fought in any wars. I just drink and hunt every day, which is quite free and easy.

It’s just that the emperor works hard for the country and devotes his heart and blood to it.”

Ye Kun patted Guan Yong on the shoulder and said, "Brothers, we will both go down in history. Good brother, let's have a drink!"

In the big tent, the charcoal fire was burning red and warm.

After three rounds of drinks, Ye Kun said again: "How about I transfer you back, brother. Da Kui and Liu Hai are both gone. Er Wu is far away in the Tianzhu Peninsula, thousands of miles away from us; Zhao Biao is also in Dunhuang, also thousands of miles away. Jiang Laowu is stationed in Poyang Lake, and we brothers are far apart..."

"No, I'm still in good health." Guan Yong shook his head and said with a smile:

"I also plan to lead my troops to the North Sea and completely wipe out the Xiongnu! I will not return home until the Xiongnu is destroyed!"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "The Xiongnu Chanyu has suffered a great loss this time. I expect that he will be so ashamed and angry, and eager for revenge, that he will soon raise a large army to fight. If we fight another beautiful ambush, it will cost the Xiongnu half their lives!"

Guan Yong laughed loudly: "Brother, our new guns and cannons are really powerful. From a thousand steps away, shooting down the Xiongnu is as easy as eating and drinking!"

"Although we have the upper hand in weapons, we can't be careless."

Ye Kun was more cautious: "The Xiongnu are strong in cavalry, and our cavalry must suppress them."

Guan Yong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even without guns and cannons, our cavalry can beat the Huns to tears!"

With the development of the steelmaking industry and the growth of the alloy technology tree, Ye Kun's cavalry and all arms have undergone an equipment upgrade.

Today's armor and helmets are both lightweight and very strong.

In the past, a fully armored soldier would weigh 60 kilograms, but now it only weighs 30 kilograms.

The weight of the vest is also greatly reduced.

The cavalry's war horses are all carefully selected good horses, and one is used as a spare.

Not to mention swords, guns, bows and arrows, all are made of fine steel, and there are as many as you need.

In terms of logistical support, the Yinshan camp had endless supply of honeycomb coal and endless rice and flour.

The soldiers all had brass water bottles, dry food bags, and carried a pound of dried milk tablets, a pound of cane sugar tablets, and two pounds of beef jerky. These things alone could last for three to five days.

Just as Guan Yong said, even without using muskets or artillery, the Huns could be pinned to the ground.

Ye Kun nodded and said with a smile:

"Then I will let you continue to guard the northern border. But remember, as the commander-in-chief, you must stay at the command center during the war. You are not allowed to charge into battle!"

Guan Yong sighed and said, "Brother, my young generals are all full of energy. How can it be my turn to charge? They don't let me worry about the training. I just hold meetings occasionally."

"This is great. We should make use of young people. The senior generals here all graduated from the Military Academy. After actual combat experience, they can all take charge of their own affairs. Great generals and marshals are not born, they are cultivated!"

Guan Yong laughed and said, "Brother is right. I am a farmer in my thirties. Following you, brother, I have become a general now. Haha!"

The two met again after a long separation, and they became happier and happier as they talked, and before they knew it, they were drunk.

After dinner, Ye Kun called a military doctor to measure Guan Yong’s blood pressure.

High pressure 150, low pressure 85.

It is still acceptable to measure such data after drinking and eating.

Guan Yong laughed and said, "Brother, what's the point of measuring this thing? The military doctor often measures me and tells me to drink less, eat less meat, eat less salt, and eat less sugar. I'm tired of them saying that!"

"Brother, you must listen to the doctor."

Ye Kun said seriously: "Xiahou Chang, that bastard, ate and drank so much that he almost died. After I brought him back, he strictly controlled his diet and now he is much better. With our current conditions, let alone eating meat, we can afford to eat a whole cow in one meal. The problem is that although we can afford it, our bodies can't bear it.

I hope you live to be eighty or ninety, with many children and grandchildren. I don't want you to die young. Blood pressure is an important indicator of health. A big shot like you should measure it every three days."

Guan Yong nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to the doctor from now on."

At this moment, there was a commotion in the big tent next door.

Ye Kun frowned and shouted, "What's going on next door?"
