Han Khan

Chapter 151

Just then, a guard came galloping on horseback, with an anxious look on his face, obviously having important news to report.

He came in front of Zhang Sheng, panting but speaking firmly, "Your Highness's Imperial Guard Commander, Commander Zhang Xibao, led the three regiments of the right wing and defeated the Ubili tribe. They have passed the northern sentry tower and are heading towards the camp."

When Zhang Sheng heard this, a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Xibao was his chief of guards and the commander-in-chief in charge of the expedition against the Ubili people. His victory not only eliminated the last Naiman tribe of the Ubili, but also occupied the land in the west of Jinshan.

It also represents that all Naiman people have become part of the Jinhan tribe.

This undoubtedly brought more hope and strength to Jin Han.

Zhang Sheng immediately said to the guard:

"Go and tell some of the people near the camp to start setting up tents, baking naan, slaughtering sheep and cattle, and preparing milk wine. Today we have to welcome the victorious right-wing warriors.

Let's go! Sarah, follow me to meet General Zhang Xibao."

Sarah was also very happy to hear this. General Zhang Xibao's defeat of the Ubili tribe was equivalent to revenge for her.

And his highness asked me to follow and receive the victorious army. It goes without saying that I, a Karakhanid who fled from the Seven Rivers, had shown my face in front of the Jin Han people. I just didn't know under what name, and an unknown meaning arose in my heart.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she nodded excitedly to Zhang Sheng:
"It is my honor to be favored by Your Highness. Thank you for your kindness." Although she was happy, she did not show any flattery. Instead, she accepted Zhang Sheng's invitation with dignity and openness.

The two men rode together, accompanied by their guards, and hurried towards the northern gate of the camp.

The camp was filled with the sound of joyful horse hooves as the Jinhan warriors prepared to welcome the triumphant return of the right wing.

At this time, Zhang Xibao had led his army with livestock and captives and arrived outside the camp. The dense crowds and livestock made all the Jinhan people excited. The growth of population and the increase of livestock meant that the Jinhan tribe was becoming more and more powerful, and the strength of the Jinhan tribe meant safety for all the Jinhan people today.

Many of the Jinhan subjects who came to watch, as well as the slaves working nearby, cheered and shouted in short elegant language:
"The general is mighty! The general is mighty!"

At this moment, Zhang Xibao and Hailat and Luo Wenda beside him felt extremely honored.

They were dressed in battle armor, and the scratches on their armor bore witness to the brutal battles they had experienced.

There were traces of weathering on his face, but his eyes still sparkled with determination.

At this moment, Zhang Sheng, leading Sala, Yin Shanxiong, Zhang Zhongxian and many guards, came rushing from the south side of the camp like a gust of wind.

Their figures are particularly eye-catching, as if they carry endless majesty.

At this time, Zhang Xibao and others were busy in the middle of the crowd, when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away.

When they looked up, they saw the galloping horse and Zhang Sheng, looking heroic on its back.

In the distance, the mountains and plains were filled with cattle and sheep, captured enemy soldiers, and three or four hundred horse-drawn carts loaded with spoils, forming a spectacular picture. At this time, the tribesmen and soldiers cheered excitedly, and their voices intertwined with the neighing of horses and cattle and sheep, playing an exciting victory song together.

When the right-wing army led by Zhang Xibao saw their lord Zhang Sheng riding a war horse galloping towards them at lightning speed, everyone immediately knelt on their knees to show their respect and loyalty to their lord.

Seeing this, the subjects and slaves nearby also knelt on the ground. The whole scene became solemn and everyone welcomed Zhang Sheng's arrival with the highest etiquette.

Zhang Sheng rode his horse into the crowd and came in front of his hero. As the leader of the Jinhan tribe, he dismounted to greet his soldiers, then walked towards Zhang Xibao and others, his eyes sparkling and full of satisfaction as he watched the returning army.

He had a smile on his face, which showed the joy of victory, as well as trust and pride in Zhang Xibao.

Zhang Sheng walked up to Zhang Xibao with a smile and gently helped him up with both hands.

Then he raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Please stand up quickly, my captain of the guards, my heroes and warriors!

I heard the guards report to me that you defeated the Ubili people, which made me extremely happy.

Tell me how you defeated the Ubilis."

Zhang Xibao was so excited that his eyes filled with tears. He quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness!" Then he led everyone to shout in unison, and the sound resounded through the sky like thunder.

All the Jinhan soldiers who had participated in the battle with the Ubili people stood up, their eyes flashing with pride and joy. Although their bodies were extremely tired, they felt extremely honored and excited because of Zhang Sheng's personal welcome.

Zhang Sheng looked at the warriors in front of him and the densely packed soldiers behind them. His voice resounded throughout the battlefield like thunder:
"Today you are all exhausted and wounded, but I will never forget the great achievements you have made, so I will reward you handsomely!"

His eyes swept over the loyal soldiers. Although they were tired, there was a determination gleam in their eyes.

Zhang Sheng continued, "Now, the tribesmen and slaves have prepared abundant firewood, are slaughtering fat cattle and sheep, and are preparing plenty of wine and delicious meals.

Today we will celebrate our victory together and enjoy this rare happy time! ”

The guards beside him and the soldiers closer to the city wall all passed Zhang Sheng's words to their comrades farther away. Everyone was inspired by his words, and morale rose again.

Zhang Sheng raised his voice, and his voice was like a powerful force, shaking everyone's heart:
"Tomorrow, when you have rested well, your ten-household leaders, centurions, battalion commanders, and regiment commanders will report all your achievements to me one by one.

Don't worry, I will never let your heroic efforts go unpunished, and you will not lose a cent of the spoils you deserve!"

The soldiers cheered and shouted excitedly: "Long live His Highness, long live the Emperor, long live the God of Heaven!!" This slogan echoed over the battlefield, expressing their admiration for Zhang Sheng.

Then Zhang Sheng said loudly:
"Now everyone, listen to my command, follow your leaders, and take your seats according to your designated seats. Today's meal is a feast specially prepared for you, so enjoy it!"

His words, with the help of others, were heard clearly by everyone.
