Chapter 1083 Upheaval (2)(2/2)
Because Wusun can mobilize at least 30,000 cavalry to participate!
Fortunately, the Wusun cavalry was not sure why, only those more than 3,000 people were.
Therefore, Li Guangli can still persevere.
But, it also paid a heavy price!
After another fierce battle, more than half of the Ershi Army were killed and injured, and the three lieutenants of Juyan Duwei completely lost their combat capabilities.
Almost all war horses were frozen to death and frostbite, and they had no power to continue fighting.
The arrows and dry food they carried were about to be eaten up.
At that time, Li Guangli even wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, subsequent reinforcements finally arrived.
As the Han army reinforcements arrived, the Huns stopped as soon as they saw the opportunity, gradually broke off contact with the Han army, and disappeared into the dense forest and the sea of snow.
When the siege was cleared, Li Guangli turned around and counted the casualties.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his throat.
In this battle, his ace, the Ershi Army, who had followed him for many years, died in battle, and more than 3,000 people were frozen to death. Juyan Duwei died in battle, and more than 2,000 people were frozen to death!
Almost everyone in the remaining army was injured.
More than half of the soldiers lost one or several fingers, toes, and many people's ears were frozen.
The Ershi Army lost 70% of its war horses forever!
Juyan Duwei also lost at least 60% of his war horses!
what does that mean?
Li Guangli knew too much!
The trumpet elite he relies on for pride and reliance has now declared lost his combat power.
This matter should be spread to Chang'an...
The consequences are unimaginable!
Just refer to the story before and after Li Ling's defeat in Junji Mountain, Li Guangli knew that his good days were over.
When today's...
That's famously unkind!
Not to mention brother-in-law like him.
Even his sister, Mrs. Li, who was loved by thousands of people back then and claimed that "a smile that will make people fall in love with the city, and a smile that will make people fall in love with the country", would try every means to stop the emperor from seeing her when she died!
Why?
Because his sister knows it so well and knows it too well today.
That's a beautiful dog!
And it is a handsome dog who only cares about and likes beautiful women!
Women usually lose their beauty and will abandon them like worn-out shoes!
Just like Empress Chen who hides a beautiful woman in the golden house, and like Empress Wei, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Li who once called the wind and rain in those years...
When you are beautiful and cute, you will be afraid of it if you hold it in your mouth and hold it in your palm and you will be afraid of it if you fall.
If you take and ask for anything, you will respond to everything.
However, once you get old and lose your lust, your former favor will disappear immediately.
What's even more troublesome is that as long as there is something that is not as good as his wishes, he will turn against him immediately.
The former favorite concubine would know what "the world is cold and the human relationship is cold and the warm and cold" in just a few days, and then quickly fall into the abyss!
This is how women!
The ministers are similar in style.
Therefore, as soon as he returned to Quli, Li Guangli locked himself up.
Half of it is self-blame!
After all, he personally trained and brought out the cavalry of Ershi Army and Juyan Duwei.
With deep feelings, most of the losses are now lost in an instant, and the rest are also semi-disabled.
He could not accept it at all in his conscience.
And the other half is fear!
He knew very well what he was facing now!
Although it seems that he, General Ershi, has won a great strategic victory now.
Not only did he exceed the pre-war mission to regain the Luntai and repel the enemy of the Huns, he also conquered Kucha, Wei Li, and Yuema to the north of Tianshan Mountain, and brought the entire northern Tianshan Road into the control of the Han army.
However, this final setback may ruin all the results.
Li Guangli knew very well that if the data of the war was transmitted back to Chang'an.
The furious emperor may tear him away!
And public opinion in the world will also surge.
Who told him that he was just a relative who was "but his Majesty's talent, but why did His Majesty help him grow"?
Who told him that he had never truly proved himself, but he dominated the highest military general of the empire for more than ten years?
The world has been suffering for a long time, and I am just waiting for a hole to vent my catharsis.
Li Guangli thought about it for three days and three nights when he locked himself in this Quli Palace.
He finally figured out one thing, that is, he wanted to continue to live, or even stay on the stage of Masaji, so he needed to get support from someone.
That person is Zhang Zizhong!
Now, the only one in the world who can save him is Zhang Zizhong.
But……
Why should the other party save him?
Asking for himself, Li Guangli felt that if he changed his position, the other party would have an experience like this.
I am afraid that I can avoid taking advantage of the situation and stepping hard will be a gentleman of ancient times, with the style of Confucius and the wise men of Mencius!
so……
Something must be used to exchange for the other party’s support and endorsement.
So what can impress a powerful person who has already been named Yinghou, has a fief of 7,000 households, is a general Yingyang, has a white flag on the left and a yellow Yue on the right, and is also a grandson and a close minister of the emperor?
Li Guangli knew very well that for such a person, wealth and women were already clouds.
Even power doesn't matter.
Like himself and all other big men with ambitions, he only needs one demand for a mastermind.
After understanding this, Li Guangli walked out of Quli Palace.
He called his close confidant Li Duo and after a secret discussion with him, Li Duo rushed back from the canal plow with dozens of light cavalry.
