A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

"What does the Imperial Advisor mean?"

The old Chanyu frowned. Wei Ping was right there. How could they avoid falling into a trap?

"Let them retreat first. The Chanyu, using his unwillingness as an excuse, claimed that he would launch another strong attack on Yanmen Pass. The royal court has been breached, and he will not return to the grasslands until Yanmen Pass is breached."

"Once they reach Daqingshan, they will inevitably be attacked by Wei Ping, and their strength will be greatly reduced, with only one-tenth remaining."

"The Han army, now exposed, is no longer capable of launching a second ambush against us, so we can naturally bring all our troops back to the Xiongnu safely."

"Although the royal court has fallen, our troops are still here. We will take this opportunity to annex all the tribes and establish a dynasty belonging to the Xiongnu."

"Wherever the king's orders were issued, none dared to disobey."

"It has been so in every generation, generation after generation."

Lou Jing's words stirred the old Xiongnu chieftain's blood.

When his father was the Chanyu, although the various tribes were independently controlled by the major nobles, everyone had to obey his father Modu Chanyu's orders.

Are there any who do not comply? No.

Unless he doesn't want his head still on his shoulders.

However, by the time he ascended to the throne, the royal court's prestige had greatly diminished, and its power had also been severely weakened. The major nobles, led by the Left and Right Wise Kings, outwardly complied but inwardly defied him.

No one obeyed his orders.

He was only a nominal Chanyu, and could only command the tribes under his command.

Compared to his father, he's like heaven and earth.

A world of difference.

I never expected that he could actually achieve such a vision. This imperial advisor is amazing!

"I will listen to the Imperial Advisor."

The old Chanyu nodded vigorously, and Lou Jing was very satisfied.

He will surely lead the old Chanyu to establish a dynasty no weaker than the Han Dynasty, and his name will be remembered for eternity.

Thanks to the deliberate concealment by the old Chanyu, he and his army were left behind as scapegoats, while the noble forces, led by the Left and Right Wise Kings, packed up and returned to the grasslands with their troops.

When Wei Ping's scouts at the entrance to Daqingshan saw the massive army surging in like a tide, they immediately reported back to Wei Ping.

"Let's explore further."

Wei Ping rubbed his hands together, looking at the whole roasted lamb in front of him.

You need to be well-fed and drunk to have the energy to fight.

The scouts returned wave after wave, bringing Wei Ping the latest news.

The news brought by the last wave of scouts surprised Wei Ping greatly.

All the Xiongnu troops had entered the mountains, but they did not find the Xiongnu Chanyu's royal banner.

Moreover, the numbers don't match.

According to Wei Ping's estimate, of the 60-strong Xiongnu army, half should still be alive after the siege, and most of the soldiers should be dead. However, the scouts estimated that only two-thirds of them remained.

One-third of the Xiongnu army was still absent.

Upon realizing that no Xiongnu royal banner had been found, Wei Ping immediately understood that the Xiongnu Chanyu had not retreated.

Wei Ping's expression was unpredictable, shifting between light and dark.

This large army is like a sharp blade, constantly threatening the safety of his ambush force.

If they were unwilling to continue attacking Yanmen Pass, that would be fine, but the remaining people definitely wouldn't be able to break through.

The real fear is that this large army might attack from behind while they are in ambush, which would immediately reverse the situation and turn the tables, making it the other way around.

It's also possible that they're sitting on the sidelines watching the two sides fight, waiting for an ambush to wipe them out in one fell swoop;

It's also possible that they wanted them to ambush this part of the Xiongnu army, thereby weakening their strength and conversely strengthening the royal court.

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ping took out his newly completed high-tech gadget—a telescope.

Now, standing atop the high mountains and hills, looking down from above, even though this telescope is not as advanced as those of later generations, he can still clearly see the location of the remaining Xiongnu army.

With the help of a telescope, Wei Ping could see all the way from the entrance of Daqingshan Mountain to the outside of Yanmen Pass.

The Xiongnu army was still outside Yanmen Pass.

It seems to be the last possibility.

This old Shang Chanyu is a man of great courage and a formidable opponent.

It seems we'll have to adjust the plan later; the Left and Right Wise Kings can't die here.

This Chanyu, however, is shrewd and calculating; he needs to be dealt with severely.

Wei Ping secretly considered the matter and made some minor modifications to his plan.

Once the scouts reported that the Xiongnu army had entered the ambush position, Wei Ping waved his hand, and countless black banners immediately rose up on the cliffs on both sides.

Not long ago.

The Left and Right Wise Kings led their troops into the Daqingshan Mountains.

Seeing that the troops had no morale, the Left Wise King Huyan Cao racked his brains and came up with a good idea.

Hahahahahaha.

The Left Wise King Huyan Cao suddenly burst into laughter, attracting the attention of the surrounding army.

"Left Wise King, your home is gone, and you're still laughing!"

The Right Wise King said dejectedly.

"I don't laugh at others, but I laugh at Wei Ping's lack of strategy and the Han army's lack of wisdom."

"If I were to command the Han army, I would surely station troops here. What should I do?"

The Left Wise King, Huyan Cao, laughed loudly and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless black banners rose up on the cliffs on both sides, the sound of drums shook the heavens and the earth, flames shot into the sky, and a rain of arrows poured down.

The Xiongnu warhorses neighed in fright, and countless Xiongnu soldiers were thrown from their horses and trampled to death.

"Charge!"

Huyan Cao flattered the horse, which was startled and galloped wildly. The army behind them braved the rain of rolling stones and arrows and charged out, leaving behind a trail of bloody and mangled corpses.

When the Xiongnu army passed through the ambush, the 200,000-strong army left behind more than 10,000 corpses.

Wei Yang left some soldiers on the mountain to prepare to ambush the next wave of people, while leading the rest to relentlessly pursue the Xiongnu army.

Several hours later, the Xiongnu army arrived at another pass, a place with steep terrain and dense forests.

Huyan Cao reined in his horse and stopped, then looked up and laughed loudly.

The Right Wise King was exasperated. "Left Wise King, what are you laughing at now?"

"I laugh at that Han general's lack of wisdom. If I had led troops to ambush him here, I would have surely ambushed a troop of soldiers here as well. This place is so treacherous, how could you and I possibly survive!"

Huyancao pointed at the pass with a proud look on his face.

The Right Wise King thought it made sense and was about to nod when he saw countless banners rise again on both sides of the pass, followed by the sound of drums, fire, arrows, and rolling stones.

Huyan Cao's face turned ashen, and he spurred his horse and rode away.

The Xiongnu army once again left behind tens of thousands of corpses and successfully passed through the pass.

Fan Kuai led his troops to join Wei Yang, and sent men to sprinkle the tung oil that Wei Ping had ordered to be left behind, using the smell of blood as a cover, and continued to harass the Xiongnu army.

After leaving the second ambush site, the Xiongnu nobles took stock of their troops. Of the original 20 soldiers, less than 14 remained, and almost everyone was wounded.

Hu Yancao could no longer laugh. He silently led his troops on a journey, traveling day and night, hoping to leave Daqingshan as soon as possible.

The next morning, the Left Wise King and other elite troops at the forefront of the army had already emerged from Daqingshan, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the Xiongnu army emerging from the exit, Huyan Cao felt safe and laughed loudly while cracking his whip.

The Right Wise King was keeping a close eye on the Left Wise King on the way, and would stop him whenever he was about to laugh.

But having just left Daqingshan, he felt relieved, and this time he was unable to shut the Left Wise King up.

The Right Wise King thought for a moment, and since they had already come out, everything should be alright now.

But I always feel like I've forgotten someone.

Whom have you forgotten?

There is clearly a very important enemy, a deadly enemy, but who is it?!

The Right Wise King frowned, deep in thought.

Everyone else was also immersed in the joy of being saved, and no one paid any attention to the Left Wise King.
