Liu Qubei led tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry back to the old nest of Sheyanhai at noon. Liu Qubei received a report of the defeated soldiers of the supply team, and only then did he know that a Han cavalry appeared near Sheyanhai, with thousands of people. This news surprised him. He knew that the defense of the Sheyanhai headquarters was weak, and once they attacked the camp, it might cause heavy losses to him.

Liu Qubei no longer cared about the upcoming battle between the Wuhuan cavalry and the Han army, nor did he listen to Li Ling's persuasion, and immediately led the army to return to Sheyanhai quickly.

When they arrived at the camp, the tragic scene in front of them made everyone's eyes crack. The fire burned most of the tents, and many of them were still blazing with blue smoke, and the ground was covered with blackened corpses. The remaining old, weak, women and children cried and packed up the remaining things. When they heard that the army was back, the elderly, women and children ran out one after another, calling their children and husbands, and hugging their heads and cried.

Liu Qubei was so excited that he almost fainted by the tragic situation in front of him. At this time, the ten thousand men who were left behind the camp rushed to kneel down to apologize. He bowed down and cried and said, "The Han army is extremely cruel. One hundred thousand old men, women and children were killed, and about ten thousand people were burned to death. Most of the soldiers were killed."

Liu Qubei's teeth clattered and asked again: "How about the flock of sheep and war horses?"

"A Han army entered the sheep and horse pen, and we suffered heavy losses. After counting the low-level positions, there were only tens of thousands of live sheep left, and less than ten thousand war horses left."

Liu Qubei shouted, drew his sword and pointed at the ten thousand men's head, yelling: "I will entrust the camp to you, you still have the face to survive."

He cut off the head of the ten thousand men with a fierce knife, kicked it away, and shouted to the sky, "If you don't take this revenge, I, Liu Qubei, will not be a human being."

At this time, several soldiers carried a pair of stretchers. On the stretcher was a middle-aged woman who was seriously injured and not dead. It was Liu Qubei's Daque, his wife. Seeing that she was seriously injured and could not survive, Liu Qubei couldn't help but cry and asked, "How are the children?"

"All dead"

Daque said in a low voice: "The next time I was killed, my sisters were killed, and I could only be kidnapped by my mother, and I don't know how to live or die."

Liu Qubei heard that he was killed, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. He closed his eyes in pain. After a while, he said viciously: "Don't worry, my son will not die in vain. I will definitely kill all the Han people and let them pay their lives."

Que was shocked, grabbed her husband's hand and said tremblingly: "Retreat back to the grassland quickly, you can't fight again, you will be exterminated."

Que's life was gone, and after a word, he died. Liu Qubei broke free from his wife's hand and pondered for a long time. His two young and young daughters fell into the hands of the Han army, and it was impossible for him to continue to fight.

He said to everyone: "The Han army is strong, and even if I do my Dugu, it may not be an opponent of the Han army. We must use the power of the Xiongnu to compete with it. You can withdraw your troops back to Hetao first. I will go to Yinshan to discuss with the Great Shanyu."

Liu Qubei immediately ordered his tribe members to collect the remaining property and retreat north to Hetao. He sent someone to Wuhuan to inform the chief Liu Meng to withdraw. Liu Qubei ran to the old land of the Yinshan Xiongnu under the escort of several cavalry.

Under the supervision of Liu Meng, the Wuhuan cavalry were forced to march westward. When the Queen of Heaven went west, they gradually approached Gaoping County and set up a camp about ten miles away from Gaoping County. Tens of thousands of Han troops strictly guarded Xiaoguan and remained unmoved. Liu Jing was patiently waiting for news from Ma Dai.

According to common sense, once Ma Dai successfully attacks the Huns' nest, Liu Qubei will inevitably lead his army to retreat north. Even if Liu Qubei comes back, it will take at least two days to go back and forth. This period of time is enough to allow the Han army to calmly fight against the Wuhuan people without worrying about being attacked from both sides.

That morning, Liu Jing was discussing military affairs with the generals. A soldier rushed to report. General Ma Dai sent someone to report the news. Liu Jing was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered people to lead the news. After a while, a news soldier hurriedly walked in, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I came to report the good news to Your Highness according to General Ma Dai's order."

"Speak quickly, what's going on?"

"Report to your Highness, we successfully attacked the Huns' lairs, causing them to suffer heavy losses. General Ma led his brothers to escape unscathed."

The report soldiers explained the incidents of their attack on the Xiongnu supply team and the night attack on the Sheyanhai camp. They explained in detail. Liu Jing and the generals listened carefully. When they talked about their ruthless killing of women and children, Zhao Yun's eyes showed unbearable expressions, but Fa Zheng frowned, and was dissatisfied with Ma Dai's order to kill women and children. He quickly glanced at Liu Jing and saw that his expression was as calm as usual, as if he was not affected at all.

Fa Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Ma Dai was received by Liu Jing before leaving. It was estimated that the killing order was given to Liu Jing. Although he was a Hu of the Huns, he was an innocent woman, children and elderly person after all. It was hard to say that they were just killing them like this. Fa Zheng found that Liu Jing's mood has become increasingly cold in recent years, which may be related to his higher power. Looking at Liu Jing's slightly cold gaze, Fa Zheng suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear, and he couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, Fa Zheng felt someone patting his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw the gentle and generous smile in Jia Xu's eyes, which made him feel a little comforted. He nodded to Jia Xu gratefully.

"What are your differences?"

Liu Jing raised his voice and slowly swept his eyes towards everyone. At this time, Zhao Yun hesitated and said, "Since the Huns withdraw their troops, the Wuhuans will no longer have the pressure on the Huns. We should be able to fight for them. Is this battle possible?"

Zhao Yun’s implication is whether this battle is worth fighting and whether it can be resolved peacefully. Zhao Yun’s words made the lobby quiet. Even the most warlike Liu Hu needs to give Zhao Yun a face to respect his opinions.

After a while, Liu Jing said slowly: "I can understand General Zhao's mood. I don't want to kill anyone. If Wuhuan can completely belong and let us settle, I am willing to have more people. But many things cannot be seen only in front of me. Just like I promised to place Wuhuan to Hexi, now they may live a stable grazing life. As long as we maintain strong strength, there will be no problems within decades. But after the New Year, who can guarantee that after the New Year, the Wuhuan people will still abide by the rules, will not separatist Hexi and will not send troops to Guanlong, burn, kill, loot, and "

Liu Jing's words echoed in the lobby, terrifyingly impacting everyone's hearts, "If you are not my race, your hearts will be different. In order for our grandsons to no longer blame our ancestors for being short-sighted, we must solve the hidden dangers once and for all. Whether it is to deal with the Wuhuan or the Xiongnu, the best way is to completely kill them, or break them up and plant them in the mainland, live with the Han people, and engage in farming. In this way, the Wuhuan will no longer exist in decades. This is the consistent position of the Han Dynasty. It will either expel or destroy them or assimilate them. Cao Cao also used the same method against the Wuhuan people in Liaodong, why can't we do it?"

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, "It's a humble position that I think is simple, and I'm willing to obey Your Highness's orders."

At this time, Jia Xu smiled again and said, "It seems that I have to say a few words."

He slowly explained to everyone: "Your Highness only cares about reasoning for everyone, but ignores the strategy for everyone. In fact, I proposed the strategy for Wuhuan. In order to stop the alliance between Wuhuan and the Xiongnu, I suggested sending Qin to the army to Wuhuan. At this time, the conditions were most favorable. They were allowed to live in Shangjun. If they were willing to continue to work as nomads, they would move to Hexi. We would give them a good pasture. It was said that benevolence and righteousness were done, but Wuhuan did not accept us.

The favorable treatment still gathered troops to echo the Huns north and south. As a last resort, His Highness proposed a surprise plan to attack the Huns' nest and force the Huns to withdraw their troops. General Ma Dai lived up to his expectations and successfully attacked the Huns and forced the Huns back to their nests. At this time, Wuhuan did not know that the Huns had retreated, so we should take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to attack Wuhuan and defeat them completely. Then we will place the Wuhuan people in our way and no longer give them the chance to remain nomadic."

Zhao Yun nodded, "I understand what the military advisor means. For us, time is very important. We must take action before the Wuhuan people get the news of the Huns' retreat."

Everyone also suddenly realized and stood up and said, "Please give orders to your superiors."

Liu Jing said coldly: "This time, let the Wuhuan cavalry taste the power of bee crossbow and heavy armored infantry."

.........

Under the call of the Akagi Order, more than 20 tribes of Wuhuan gathered a total of 10,000 troops. These troops were herders and soldiers in wartime. Although they had strong riding skills, their training was far from enough. This is also the common feature of all nomadic peoples. The insufficient population made nomadic people unable to maintain special soldiers, and at most there were thousands of direct core soldiers.

Lu Xi stood in front of the tent and was watching Xiao Guan in a complicated manner. He really didn't want to fight this battle, but his only young child was in the hands of the Huns, and there were 10,000 Hun cavalry to fight, which forced him to obey orders and launch an attack on the Han army.

Lu Xi sighed and turned around and asked Bian Shu, "If the Han army refused to fight, what should we do?"

Bian Shu pondered for a moment and said, "With Liu Meng's character, if the Han army refused to fight, he would force us to attack the city, so I advised the chief to prepare some siege weapons, that's what it means."

"Siege" Lu Xi shook his head, "When did we Wuhuan people have a record of siege and do not even have the most basic experience, so what kind of siege are we?"

Bian Shu smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid Liu Meng won't listen to our explanation."

As soon as the words were finished, heavy footsteps came from outside the tent, and someone shouted loudly: "Get out."

This was Liu Meng's voice. Lu Xi and Bian Shu looked at each other. They realized that something was wrong at the same time. A soldier rushed to the tent to report: "General Liu is here."

Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed away. Liu Meng, who was like a black bear, broke into the big tent. His copper bell-like eyes glared at Lu Xi and said viciously: "It has been two days, why haven't you launched an attack yet?"

Lu Xi did not dare to provoke him, so he quickly bowed and said, "Because there are insufficient weapons to attack the city, it is impossible to attack the city for the time being."

"fart"

Liu Meng interrupted him roughly, grabbed Lu Xi's clothes, pulled him to his voice, stared at his eyes and said, "I think you want to have an affair with the Han army and refuse to fight, right?"

Lu Xi was both scared and embarrassed and angry. He blushed and said, "That's the case. I don't have weapons to attack the city. So what kind of siege? If the Huns are willing to provide siege, I will send troops immediately."

"That's what you said."

Liu Meng sneered, "I will provide you with a siege ladder tomorrow morning. If you don't siege the city, I will take your life."

Lu Xi was pinched to the gate of his life and couldn't speak for a long time. Liu Meng put him down and said, "Although you can't attack Xiaoguan now, you can attack Gaoping County, and you don't need any siege weapons. Just use a giant tree to break the city gate. You can send troops now."

The reason why Liu Meng was eager to send troops to the Wuhuan people was because he received his father's urgent letter. He learned that the old nest of Sheyanhai was being taken down and they suffered heavy losses. His father Liu Qubei ordered him to give up the Wuhuan people and immediately withdraw his troops back to Hetao. However, Liu Meng was unwilling to give up the Wuhuan people and would not give the Wuhuan people a chance to surrender to the Han army.

He only has two days to do. In these two days, he must let Wuhuan fight with the Han army. Seeing that Lu Xi and Bian Shu were hesitant in his eyes, Liu Meng shouted: "Would you like to do it?"

Lu Xi had no choice but to nod, "I will send troops to capture Gaoping County now."
