Wait, please don't call me Emperor Zhaolie

Chapter 365 He who knows the current affairs is a hero!
The Xiongnu tribe was in a panic, and many nobles were wondering whether they should drive away the cattle, sheep, donkeys, and mules, bundle up food, bows and arrows, daggers, salt, sugar and other supplies, and just turn around and run away.

Even if they ran to Shangdang, Taiyuan, Hexi, and Shangjun to become enemies with others, it would be better than staying to face the Han army that was as fierce as wolves and tigers. These were people who would fight without regard for life and death, dare to fight against the enemy with blood, and not risk their lives.

In the previous battle of Qinshui, most of the Xiongnu's elite troops were killed, leaving the various tribes with no chance of catching their breath until now.

Moreover, it was heard that the Han army had swept across the princes of Hebei and the Central Plains, and still held the fertile land of the Han Dynasty. With a casual mobilization, 50,000 to 60,000 troops could arrive.

In terms of the elite level of the soldiers, they were far superior to those of the time of Emperor Xiaoling. It could be said that they had revived from the ashes. Seeing that the Han Dynasty was in decline and was about to be extinguished, they unexpectedly revived again within a few years.

This made some Xiongnu nobles almost dumbfounded. Damn it, the Han and the Xiongnu had been fighting for a hundred years, and they saw the Han emperor being coerced by powerful ministers and his dignity being repeatedly trampled upon. The same was true for the Xiongnu. The nobles who stayed behind rebelled against the Chanyu and openly refused to recognize the Luandi clan. Both families declined.

Unexpectedly, the big man stood up from the mud with a clang.

With great momentum and thundering drums, he displayed his might and power, and defeated the princes and the barbarians as easily as cutting grass.

Only the Huns are getting worse year by year.

Thinking back to the time when Maodun the Great Chanyu rose to power at the same time as Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, the descendants of the Luandi clan are now far inferior to the descendants of the Liu clan...

The Xiongnu nobles in Pingyang could not help sighing and crying when they recalled the past.

But after shedding tears, you still have to leave. If you don’t leave, you may never have to leave again.

So the Xiongnu nobles began to pack up and prepare to move away without waiting for the order from Chanyu Huochuquan.

After all, cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock need to be migrated, and when these grazing animals are attacked, they are most likely to panic and run away.

If the Han cavalry came at them like thunder and lightning, the herdsmen might be able to escape, but all their livestock would be lost.

Without meat from cattle and sheep, it would be of no use to escape. If they were not caught up by the Han army, they would starve to death on the way.

Just as the Xiongnu tribe was in panic, the envoy of Hedong Governor Yang Feng also rode to Pingyang on horseback, hoping to form an alliance with the Xiongnu and put pressure on the Han army. By then, the Xiongnu cavalry and the Baibo Army would be able to attack and defend.

Even if Liu Xuande refused to give in, the two armies could work together and cooperate with each other like left and right hands, fighting and retreating.

The Xiongnu Chanyu Huochuquan looked at the envoy Yang Feng who was talking incessantly in front of him in a somewhat stunned manner. It seemed that in this man's words, as long as the two armies worked together, they could travel freely in the Han territory.

While being extremely stunned, Huochequan felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. You don't even know how powerful your Han king is, and yet you are talking nonsense here.

Not to mention that the army under the command of King Han Liu Bei is stationed in various states and it is impossible for him to mobilize all his forces to conquer Guanzhong. Even if he only brings more than 10,000 combat soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers to conquer Sili, we Huns will have to avoid his edge, flee northward with our tribes, and dare not cross Linfen.

What's more, now that he is leading 20,000 combat soldiers and 40,000 auxiliary soldiers to march into Guanzhong, it is obvious that he wants to destroy all the princes in Sili, Yongliang and other two states. Even though the terrain of Yong and Liang states is far more vast than that of Qing, Yan, Yu and Xu states, they cannot withstand the swift momentum of the Han army.

When Huochuquan heard that Yang Feng and he were joining forces in order to preserve the interests of the Xiongnu and the Baibo Army in Hedong and thus make the Han army wary, he couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot. He pointed at the envoy with a bewildered look and sneered contemptuously, "Your master is just a bandit of the Han family. He betrayed his former master for profit and also wanted to form an alliance with the Luandi clan. Do you know how many years the Northern Hu have been brothers of the Han family?"

"Yang Feng thinks he is smart, but he is asking for trouble. The King of Han is determined to take over Sili and Yongliang. How could he give in to you?"

"Not only will we not retreat, we will also use your heads as a warning to the rest, to serve as a warning to the other princes in Guanzhong, and to intimidate the people thousands of miles away!"

"How could I be an ally with a man like your Lord Yang Feng who is waiting to die? Come! Take this high-handed person out, behead him and hang his head on the flagpole."

"Any messenger from the Baibo bandits will be killed. There is no need to report to us again!"

Sparks flew from Huochuquan's eyes, his teeth chattered, and he gave orders murderously.

I thought it was a good thing, but it turned out to be a matter of genocide.

This group of bastards is courting death, and they are also dragging his tribe into it. If they want to go against the King of Han again, I'm afraid all the herdsmen will die. Huochuquan is afraid that he will never have the chance to return to the royal court.

As soon as the Xiongnu Chanyu finished speaking, the guards who had been guarding beside him immediately pushed Envoy Yang Feng to the ground and twisted his arms behind his back.

The middle-aged scholar's face was pressed against the dust on the ground. Even if the dust entered his lungs when he breathed, he didn't care about it. He endured the pain of his face rubbing against the ground and said in fear: "Since the Chanyu does not want to form an alliance, why should we be angry?"

"The ancients said: Even if there is a war, envoys should not be killed. Chanyu has lived in Han territory for a long time. Hasn't he heard of this? How can you treat the envoy unreasonably?"

"If you kill the messenger, there will be great disaster."

Before being escorted out of the institution, the middle-aged scholar could not help but jump up and shout loudly.

Huochuquan heard it, but pointed at him with a fake smile and said, "I am a Hu man, I don't know many things about China!"

"I am very grateful for your hard work in reporting the King of Han's advance, so I will first give you good wine and then cut off your head. This is the Han people's courtesy."

"Leaders! Push him out and give him some wine, then send him on his way. Hang the flag on a high pole so that the messenger can see far away, so that he can see the road below."

Huochuquan sneered and gave an order with a wave of his hand.

"Barbarians and thieves!"

"Naigong and you have no grudges against each other, why do you want to kill me?!"

"I hate it so much! If I had known that the Hu people were so unfaithful, I would not have come here..."

Yang Feng's envoy wanted to jump a few more times, struggling and cursing desperately.

However, he was hit hard in the abdomen by the Huns, and he swallowed all his words in an instant. He was no longer able to struggle and was dragged out.

Huochequan looked at this scene without any sympathy, and even felt amused.

Even though the Huns had been in Han territory for a hundred years, their habit of hunting and slaughtering had not changed much.

They would graze when there was plenty of water and grass, and would plunder when the grass and water dried up. They would not only plunder the Han people, but also other Hu and Qiang people. It was common to see men's heads hung on the side of horses and women carried behind horses.

What's more, he now has a tribe and cannot go back, and he was deceived by Yang Feng and went to become the enemy of Han King Liu Bei.

Not to mention the envoy sent by Yang Feng, even if he came in person, he would be killed.

Huochuquan thought for a moment and gave an order: "Order the herdsmen of each tribe to drive their livestock and slowly retreat to Yong'an, and then observe the changes in Hedong."

Then he hesitated for a few breaths, and finally said resolutely: "Send a tribal envoy to tell the King of Han my intention. After the death of Yu Fuluo, the Xiongnu no longer have any intention of becoming an enemy of the Han army."

"Even though Yuan Shao sent an envoy to persuade us, we never sent troops to help. We are willing to follow the example of the Chanyu of all generations and submit to Luoyang. All the tribal cavalry can be commanded by the King of Han, and we will never retreat wherever the troops point to."

When the many close confidants around him heard Chanyu Huochequan's words of surrender to the Han Dynasty, they were all so shocked that they forgot to breathe and their eyes were full of disbelief.

The Han army under Liu Xuande killed so many of them that after the Battle of Qinshui, countless people in the tribe lost their husbands and sons. Even the previous Chanyu died tragically in Henei County.

Not only does the new Chanyu not intend to take revenge, but he also wants to kneel down and surrender, using the blood of his tribesmen to conquer cities for the Han people?
Is this still the Great Chanyu of Chengligutu? !

Several Huns looked at each other in horror, terrified and stunned.
