My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 30 Here I come

Yanzhi Mountain, southern foothills.

The fighting gradually stopped.

A quarter of an hour ago, 20,000 cavalrymen drove away the fleeing soldiers and killed them. The Xiutu tribe was defeated and lost the initiative. The Xiutu tribe did not linger in the fight and quickly fled to the royal city.

At this time and place, apart from the Han army resting on the spot, there were corpses everywhere.

Under the military flag, Huo Qubing, who had been marching for a whole day and night, looked cold and asked indifferently, "Where is General Li Guang?"

Li Gan, who was kneeling on one knee opposite him, clasped his fists and bowed his head, "The general led the main force to the east of here... to the east..."

“How many miles is Edom?”

"I don't know!" Li Gan was ashamed to answer the question from the General of Cavalry. He was surrounded too quickly and too far away from the main force, so he really didn't know.

Huo Qubing poked his sword handle and asked again: "Why is the main force of Xiu Tu's army here? How was the result of your battle with them?"

Li Gan didn't care about the blood flowing from his body and buried his head deeper. "My tribe is the vanguard, coming to attack the Tuge tribe. The Xiutu tribe should have received the news and ambushed here in advance."

"The main force of our army... has not yet engaged the Xiu Tu tribe!"

Ask here.

Huo Qubing put down his sword, picked up the water bag and drank water, not even bothering to say a word.

He didn't say anything, and Li Gan just knelt there, bleeding.

Zhao Po Nu and others who were listening nearby looked at each other coldly. They had crossed a thousand miles of desert and chased the Hunxie tribe away...

You guys are still playing around!

As a result, the small shrimp alarmed the big crocodile and almost swallowed a Pioneer?

At this time.

Huo Qubing glanced at Li Gan and said calmly: "Since you are so brave in killing the enemy, I will give you a credit for this battle. Get up."

"Thank you, General!"

Li Gan responded, with no joy on his face, and quietly stepped aside.

Huo Qubing again instructed Zhao Po Nu: "Take a break for now, wait to join up with Li Guang's troops, and then besiege Xiu Tu Wangcheng."

"Here!"

……

……

Stop slaughtering the royal city.

Inside a large tent at the highest point in the city.

"King Hunxie, what's wrong with you!?" King Xiutu was furious, and he wished he could kill the fat man with one blow.

The fat and plump Hunxie King took a sip of wine and then responded in an even angrier tone:
"you ask me?"

"I was just going to ask you something. The Han army passed through your defense zone, and you just let them pass?"

"Twenty thousand cavalrymen, including horses, are all your men blind?!"

Bang!
After King Hunxie finished speaking, the Prime Minister of the Xiutu tribe who was sitting opposite him slammed the table and stood up, angrily asking, "What did you say?"

All the leaders of the Xiu Tu tribe looked angry.

The people in the same row as King Hunxie also slammed their hands on the table, and saw that a conflict was about to break out...

"okay!"

King Xiu Tu threw the wine cup to the ground and said, "Shut up!"

Quarrels were common during the Xiongnu's internal meetings, but they did not consider the timing when starting a quarrel. The Han army was about to arrive at the city, so there was no time for verbal battles.

Wait until silence returns to the room.

King Xiu Tu looked at King Hun Xie and suppressed his anger, saying: "I do have 20,000 Han troops here, but I have stopped them all. If you don't believe me, send someone to the east to investigate."

"You should first tell me how you escaped all the way east! And where did the 20,000 Han troops behind you come from?"

Hear the words.

King Hunxie gnashed his teeth and said, "How should I know? The Han army suddenly appeared outside my royal city and attacked the city fiercely..."

Under the sudden attack of the Han army, the city of King Hunxie was quickly breached. King Hunxie left his son to defend the city while he went out of the city to gather his troops.

however.

Before his troops could gather together, the royal city fell completely. King Hunxie tried to seize the city while the Han army was still unstable, but failed.

"After that, I planned to gather all the small tribes and trap the Han army in the city, but who would have thought that the Han army would leave the city and attack at night that day!"

When King Hunxie thought of this, the fat on his cheeks couldn't stop shaking, and he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid.

"and then?"

King Xiu Tu said in a grim tone, "And you didn't even gather your small tribes, but were defeated and fled all the way east?"

Perhaps he suppressed his palpitations, or perhaps he sensed that King Xiu Tu's words were unkind, King Hun Xie calmed down in an instant, narrowed his eyes and asked back:

"What do you mean?"

"Although I have lost the royal city, I still have nearly ten thousand troops. Can't I fight back?"

"Hmph!" King Xiu Tu snorted coldly, "Can we fight back first? I guess you must have been chased by the Han army all the way and couldn't stop. You'd better go ask your subordinates and hear what they are talking about!?"

King Hunxie was indeed being chased and couldn't stop.

In fact.

Since the fall of the royal city, he has never stopped. He first summoned the various tribes, but was ambushed by the Han army that night and then headed eastward.

So when King Hunxie sent a captain out to investigate, and learned what the tribesmen were discussing, his face suddenly changed and he exclaimed:

"The Great Chanyu's messenger!?"

King Hunxie was stunned for a moment, then with agility that was beyond his fat body, he stood up instantly and grabbed Qian Chang by the collar.

"Tell me again, when did the Great Chanyu's envoy arrive at the royal city?"

"Here...he's coming back."

The captain had just heard the news, and his face turned pale as he said, "According to the tribesmen, it happened shortly before the Han army attacked the city."

"fart!"

King Hunxie's eyes widened, and he instinctively retorted, "I have never seen the Chanyu's envoy!"

The captain hesitated for a while before mumbling, "The tribesmen who were grazing outside the city did see it, but the Han army came too fast and the leader was in a hurry to go out of the city to gather his people... I guess they missed each other."

"After the Han army attacked the city, no one inside the city escaped. Most of the Great Chanyu's envoys... most of them have died in the city!"

hum!
King Hunxie suddenly felt a rush of blood to his forehead, making him see stars, and in an instant, he felt cold all over!

Defeat is not a big deal. Even if you fail, if the Great Chanyu finds out, there is still room for maneuver. But if you fail along with the Chanyu's envoy...

"hiss!"

King Hunxie suddenly closed his eyes and took a breath of cold air.

"Hmph." King Xiutu, who was sitting in the main seat, sneered at this time, "The Han people do want to fight, but you'd better think about how to explain to the Great Chanyu!"

In the past, even just now, when King Hunxie heard such sarcastic words, he would have ridiculed them back.

but now.

King Hunxie had no intention of arguing at all. He walked out of the tent with a gloomy face and without saying a word.

King Xiu Tu didn't care. After the Hunxie tribe left, he told his leader, "The Han people will attack soon. Gather all the tribes as soon as possible!"

He said it would be a few days, but in fact it was only two days later...

Two days later.

Under King Xiu Tu's city.

Forty thousand Han troops lined up outside the city, with flags fluttering.
The large flag with the word "Huo" on it stood firmly without moving, but a large flag with the word "Li" on it slowly moved forward. Under its banner, an old general holding a large yellow bow had a grim look on his face.

Walk a hundred steps to the city gate.

The old general sat on his horse, holding the bow in one hand and slowly putting an arrow on it with the other hand. The bowstring creaked, and when the bow was like a full moon...

"Whoosh!"

The arrow suddenly disappeared.

"Bang!" A wolf flag on King Xiutu's city broke.

The old general put away the big yellow bow, glanced at the Xiu Tu tribe on the city wall who were in an uproar, and shouted: "Tell the two kings Xiu Tu and Hun Xie to clean their necks."

"I, Li Guang, am here!"
