    ps: With everyone's support, "Flying General" is finally coming to an end today.  Xuefeng also started coding new books.  Everyone is welcome to join the group.  War is cruel, almost everyone knows this.  But except for those who have been on the battlefield or have actually experienced war, how can anyone else understand the horror of war.  Perhaps the tip of the iceberg can be glimpsed in stories or calligraphy and paintings, but the tragic scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere, corpses strewn in the fields, bones piled high, and thousands of miles of desolation is far less painful and profound than personal experience.  Zhao Yun did not pursue them very far when he ran into the elephant soldiers and cavalry of Guishang who had been ambushing them for a long time.  However, the troops that Guishang could mobilize were too few, and the main cavalry force had become a tired division. It could not meet the earlier strategic vision at all, and the two armies fell into a stalemate.  Zhao Yun is a shrewd man, and he has already figured out a way to fight against the Xiang army.  The cavalry's crossbows rained down on the riders on the backs of the war statues.  The war elephant, which had lost its handler and did not know how to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, lost control due to the pain and ran rampant on the battlefield, knocking the formations of the two armies into pieces.  But in general, the Qin army with superior military strength had the upper hand.  This battle was very hard for both sides.  For the cavalry, it is their habit to sweep through the enemy's position like a hurricane and sweep the enemy into pieces.  Facing an enemy as tough as themselves, the price they paid was obviously too much.  When the battle came to an end, Gola Khan commanded the troops to retreat. He led nearly 8,000 cavalry to leave the battlefield.  Hundreds of relatively slow-moving elephant soldiers served as cover.  It¡¯s not that Zhao Yun doesn¡¯t want to lead the main force in pursuit.  But his cavalry were also exhausted.  Facing these elephant soldiers is not easy either.  He ordered Ma Chao to lead 10,000 cavalry in pursuit, while he led the rest of the troops to wipe out the remaining enemies in front of him.  In his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Kushan cavalry was obviously not as good as that of Great Qin's cavalry.  Ten thousand troops are enough to eat eight thousand of the enemy's troops.  And Ma Chao is also willing to use this opportunity to add new achievements to himself.  Without cavalry cover, the Xiang army began to fight hard and was eventually wiped out.  But these people did not disgrace the Kushan Army.  All soldiers fought to the end.  No one chose to surrender. They were much stronger than the Kushan troops on the front line.  The war finally came to an end, and peace seemed to have returned to Da Qin's rear.  Zhao Yun had a sullen face, not feeling happy at all.  His troops also suffered heavy losses. Under the desperate counterattack of the Kushan army, he lost 8,000 cavalry.  Another 10,000 cavalrymen lost their combat effectiveness, which can be said to have reduced their number by half.  This does not include the losses of the soldiers.  Looking at his men with bloody faces, he sighed. This battle was too brutal.  If the Kushan army is as heroic as the enemy commander, if the Kushan army is to be completely conquered, the generals of Great Qin will shed a lot of blood.  Fortunately, such an excellent general.  There is only one Kushan.  Zhang He, who was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, came over. His body was covered in blood, and one of his beast shoulder pads was also cut off, which showed the cruelty of the war.  He looked at Zhao Yun and said: "I just interrogated a few prisoners, and they told me that the general of the Kushan Army is named Gola Khan. I remember that the intelligence department does not seem to have this person's name." Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said: "Gola Khan  This name seems familiar. There are only a few high-ranking generals in Guishan. Their fighting ability is average, but this person can barely resist our attack.  Simple, he not only mobilized our army many times, but also went deep into our rear, attacked our army's supply lines, burned our army's strategic supplies, and even caused the casualties of 18,000 regular troops. It seems that he is the person who has the great responsibility of commanding the army.  It¡¯s not because he is an unknown person. Is there any other big shot in Guishan?¡± Zhang He lowered his head and thought for a while.  Suddenly he realized: "He can't be the 'Coyote' who only left a nickname!? Our intelligence officers just accidentally got this news at a banquet of Kushan high-level officials, but there is no way to confirm it. Even this  I don¡¯t know whether the person actually exists. I think this person is probably the Coyote who has been praised by the high-ranking military officials in Guishang. His fighting style is indeed a bit like the early Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. " Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said.  It is very possible. Only such a person can be our opponent. Report this matter to Your Majesty immediately and send an additional 5,000 cavalry to support Ma Chao in case the coyote has any tricks." Zhang He nodded and agreed.  Make your own arrangements.  Zhao Yun was left alone to ponder.  I don¡¯t know how long it took before Zhao Yun woke up from his deep thoughts. He looked at the sky and saw that the red sun had already set in the west. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth that was irrigated by blood, reflecting a scarlet color.  He finally made up his mind to write to Lu Bu that it was time for the war to end.  After training, Lu Bu and his troops, who had recovered, began to attack the troops commanded by Kadelfi crazily. After half a month of attacking, Kadelfi painstakinglyThe business line of defense was riddled with holes and torn to pieces by the Qin army.  But because this is the lifeblood that maintains the survival of Kushan, under the command of Kadelfi, the Kushan soldiers exploded with great combat effectiveness.  Counterattack regardless of casualties.  The top brass of Kushan also began to mobilize the remaining servants of the Kushan nobles to reinforce the front line.  It can be said that the Kushan Dynasty has already made plans to fight against the odds.  There is only one last step left to completely destroy Kushan.  But that's just one step away. Kushan still exists and is still carrying out organized resistance.  Lu Bu knew in his heart that the Qin army, which had been fighting for days, was at the end of its war effort, and all its artillery and ammunition had been exhausted.  Although supplies have been restored later, it will take at least seven days to continue to have enough ammunition to sustain a major battle.  The results of these days' battles, except for the elimination of a large number of effective forces of the Kushan Army and the occupation of several important military locations, did not meet the pre-formulated military plan and complete the strategic concept.  Just when Lu Bu was hesitant, Zhao Yun's documents arrived.  Zhao Yun¡¯s memorial makes it very clear: Guishang is a powerful country and a military power mainly based on agriculture.  Although they have lost large areas of land, many of which are important food-producing areas, their accumulation over the past generations is also a terrifying figure.  Although Kuishang could only rely on its position to carry out passive defense, and occasionally launched one or two large-scale counterattacks, it was just an offensive-defensive strategy and could not shake the overall situation at all.  On the surface, the situation in Da Qin can be said to be in great shape.  But Da Qin was different from Guishuang. At this time, Da Qin had transformed from an agricultural country to a country with industry and commerce as the mainstay and agriculture as a supplement.  Most of the country's fiscal revenue comes from industry and commerce.  The war with Kushan had already affected the Silk Road, while the battles with Rome and Parthia had completely cut off the surrounding roads.  Although the Qin Dynasty actively developed overseas trade and exchanged precious metals, gems, furs and other rare items with the natives in coastal areas through barter, the consumption level of the natives was obviously not comparable to that of Rome and Parthia.  This has jeopardized Da Qin's economic development.  The war has been going on for too long, and Da Qin has suffered great losses. The soldiers have also begun to miss their hometown, which has more or less affected the combat effectiveness of the troops.  Although the war will eventually be won, the Qin Dynasty will also be severely weakened, and it may be difficult to face the challenges of Rome and Parthia who are not willing to fail.  At the end of the memorial, Zhao Yun once again sincerely requested Lu Bu to start peace talks.  Looking at the memorial of the top general in the military, Lu Bu showed a wry smile.  Although he launched this war for the development of Great Qin, there was not a hint of willfulness in it.  But he didn't expect that Guishang would be so difficult to deal with.  Under the current situation, he could not help but consider the possibility of peace talks with Kushan.  Lu Bu is not afraid of peace talks.  Even if the Kushan monarch is a promising monarch, he is not afraid.  The fighting for more than a year inadvertently swallowed up nearly 800,000 young and strong laborers in Guishang.  This is a fatal loss for a country.  As the war situation gradually worsened, the Kushan leaders had to take a series of actions, which violated the interests of the aristocracy.  Although the two sides have to work closely together because of the war, once the war ends, the conflicts accumulated between the two sides will definitely explode.  How can a country that even has internal affairs problems develop production and accumulate national strength?  Without the backing of strong national power, how could they threaten Great Qin?  Lu Bu, who didn't take Kushan seriously at all, quickly formed a plan in his mind. He immediately asked all ministers to formulate a detailed and thorough plan.  Now that the war has ceased, conditions must be negotiated.  I believe that Kushan, who is already in a very difficult situation, should be able to pay a price that satisfies him!  As for the territories, they would have to be conquered later.  After receiving Lu Bu's order, the officials of the Qin army were surprised. They did not expect that Lu Bu would suddenly decide to negotiate peace with Kushan.  This made the ministers who were still thinking about how to attack the opponent unable to turn around for a while.  But Lu Bu's order could not be violated, so they had to go back and study the conditions of the peace talks and the people involved in the peace talks.  While the Qin army was preparing for peace talks, Zhao Yun came back.  He had already eliminated the remaining enemies, but Gola Khan, who was known for his cunning, still ran away with more than 3,000 cavalry.  Judging from their marching route, they had withdrawn to the Kushan camp.  Lu Bu was very satisfied. He rewarded the generals heavily and prepared their troops.  His goal is clear, he talks and fights at the same time.  You must get favorable conditions for yourself at the negotiation table.  The Guishang camp opposite was in an uproar after receiving the news that the Qin ministers wanted to stop fighting for peace talks.  They didn't know what the Qin people were up to.  Gora Khan has returned, and he has returned with more than three remaining soldiers.  His plan was only half completed, but it also caused certain losses to the Qin people.  Although Kadelfi was disappointed, he also understood Gola Khan's difficulties.  The Kushan army has too few troops that can be mobilized, and there are not many prime men who can be recruited from the rear.  He did not blame the young general.  After receiving the Qin army's request, he decided to listen to the general's wishes.?, and then reported to Vesudeva I.  There seemed to be a glimmer of peace emerging in front of the two armies.
