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

He suddenly remembered what Lou Jing, the national advisor who had surrendered to the Xiongnu, had said: "An incompetent general can cause the death of the entire army."

Conversely, an excellent general can make the same number of soldiers exert several times or even tens of times their combat power.

Several generals from the lineage of King Zhongwu, as well as a young general on the opposite side, who seemed to be surnamed Wei, plus Huo Qubing in the heart of the Xiongnu territory.

Compared to them, the young generals of the Xiongnu were far inferior.

Since they couldn't compete in terms of talent, the Xiongnu had their own methods.

They'll grind it out with their lives!

A sufficient number of wars will produce one qualified general after another.

They are either Han or Hu.

Junchen Chanyu recalled the concept his father had proposed, which was originally intended to distinguish between the Han and the Xiongnu people, while also classifying the surrounding nomadic tribes under the Xiongnu's command.

However, with the broadening of their horizons and the emergence of the Western Regions and the Parthian Roman Empire, large and small ethnic groups came into the sight of the Xiongnu.

It seems that different meanings can be given to either Han or Hu.

They, the Xiongnu, will become the legitimate rulers of the nomadic peoples, separating the Han Dynasty from all other nations.

With this concept, the Xiongnu could replenish their resources from any country other than the Han Dynasty.

Of course, the premise is that this idea can be spread to all places and people will agree with it from the bottom of their hearts.

It certainly couldn't have been done by the Xiongnu alone, but didn't we also have the Han Dynasty?!

The power of the Han Dynasty was enough to promote the spread of this concept from another perspective.

Junchen Chanyu's divergent thoughts returned to the main topic: Huo Qubing, who was wandering in the heart of the Xiongnu territory, could not be ignored.

If they can cause such a commotion in the tribe of King Youguli today, they can cause the same commotion in the tribe of any other king tomorrow.

This will cause instability in the army.

However, it would be even more undesirable to make such a big fuss over 1000 people if it affected the battle situation on the front lines.

After some thought, Chanyu Junchen decided to transfer some of the guards from various tribes to form an elite army of 30,000 men, specifically to hunt down Huo Qubing's 1000 men.

Huo Qubing's victories were ultimately achieved through clever tactics, rather than through his own strength and direct combat.

Therefore, these 3 people are enough to easily wipe them out.

With these 3 men hunting down Huo Qubing, even the Right Guli King and many tribal leaders near him could finally relax.

Soon, these 3 people were gathered together and, after meeting at the Youguliwang tribe, they chased after Huo Qubing in the direction he had disappeared.

Now, Huo Qubing got lost again and ran wildly in the direction of his intuition.

The time it took for the message to travel back and forth from the battlefield was enough for Huo Qubing to escape to a very far place.

Because in the northern grasslands, there are extremely long distances between each tribe.

Even though Huo Qubing had some prisoners, he never paid attention to direction when he ran. Even these northern people living on the grasslands would not be able to find their way if they were completely lost and had no landmarks.

Huo Qubing casually tossed his sword into the air and looked in the direction the sword tip was pointing, but he couldn't see anything.

"Never mind, this is the direction, brothers, charge!"

Huo Qubing's charge this time was actually in the direction of Longcheng, the capital of the Xiongnu.

After several days of arduous travel, Mount Langjuxu came into view of Huo Qubing and his men.

This is Langjuxu Mountain.

Ever since King Wei Ping of Zhongwu conquered Longcheng and inscribed a stone on Langjuxu Mountain, no general of the Han Dynasty was unfamiliar with it.

Everyone hopes to be the second general to trample Wolf Mountain.

Even Huo Qubing was no exception.

Unfortunately, this time there were only 1000 men.

Wait, who is that?

Huo Qubing saw a force of several thousand men in the distance, and they even had the Xiongnu Chanyu's banner hanging up.

Huo Qubing carefully examined the Xiongnu people's attire in the group.

Since Lou Jing presided over the Xiongnu reforms, the Xiongnu have had a clear class distinction.

The Chanyu (ruler) wore yellow clothes, other kings could wear purple clothes, and the lower-ranking nobles could wear cyan clothes.

Surprisingly, there were quite a few people wearing blue and purple clothes in the group in front of them.

Logically speaking, most of the Xiongnu kings were at the front lines.

Huo Qubing remembered that Emperor Wu of Han had once taught him that, in addition to the thirty-six kings of the Xiongnu, there were some other people who could also wear purple.

The direct relatives of the Xiongnu's prime minister and Chanyu, also known as the Xiongnu royal family.

This team was dispatched by the Xiongnu Chanyu after learning that Huo Qubing was rampaging through the heart of the Xiongnu territory. The Xiongnu Chanyu sent the Xiongnu Imperial Guard to bring back the Xiongnu Prime Minister, the Chanyu's uncle, the Chanyu's grandfather, and a large number of other high-ranking officials, including the Chanyu's chief minister, to Longcheng.

The Xiongnu Chanyu's original intention was to get these people back to Longcheng quickly, so that their safety could be guaranteed with the help of Longcheng's defenses.

However, the Xiongnu Chanyu never expected that Huo Qubing, who should have been near the Right Guli King's tribe, would appear in Longcheng.

This is the Xiongnu's rear area.

There were many Xiongnu tribes in between, so any news would quickly reach Longcheng.

Once we are prepared, troops will naturally come to our aid.

However, Huo Qubing did not follow the proper path. He got lost and just followed his intuition, turning left and right. Somehow, he avoided all the tribes and ended up in Longcheng.

Even if he himself were to walk this path again, he would absolutely not be able to reach this place without alerting the other Xiongnu tribes.

This may be the bond between Huo Qubing and the Xiongnu prime minister, the Chanyu's grandfather, the Chanyu's uncle, the head of the household, and others.

This battle was destined to happen.

Huo Qubing's eyes lit up when he saw these Xiongnu nobles dressed in blue and purple.

Isn't this the great achievement?

Unexpectedly, someone actually sat on the grassland; such a wonderful thing happened out of nowhere.

The Xiongnu actually had such good people?!

I was so touched.

He will absolutely not let down this weighty dedication.

Huo Qubing thought to himself.

"Brothers, there's a big fish."

At Huo Qubing's call, his soldiers licked their lips. They all knew about the different colored clothes worn by different identities among the Xiongnu.

It really is a big fish!

All eyes were fixed on Huo Qubing, who grinned.

kill!

Huo Qubing took the lead, and the others followed closely behind him.

His eyes were filled with a longing for military achievements.

He was appointed a general and granted a title, and his wife and children were granted official positions and privileges.

This group of people dressed in bluish-purple clothes could easily raise a title by at least three levels if you randomly picked one.

Although this group of guards was also part of the Xiongnu's elite guards, the truly most elite guards were all stationed at the front lines.

But he was facing Huo Qubing, a freakish general who had a special attack on them in history and reached the pinnacle that countless famous generals in history had longed for at the age of 22.

Although his troops were not the same elite cavalry that had led him to victory in countless battles, they were still the fiercest warriors Huo Qubing had selected from his army.

The result was predictable: the imperial guards were easily defeated by Huo Qubing, who captured high-ranking nobles, including the Xiongnu Chanyu's grandfather, the Xiongnu Chanyu's uncle, the Xiongnu prime minister, and the head of the household.

Huo Qubing did not blindly pursue expanding his victories. He keenly realized that if these prisoners were sent to the front lines, it would certainly deal a huge blow to the morale of the Xiongnu army.

Before leaving, he glanced back at the Xiongnu's Dragon City and thought to himself, "One day I will conquer this place and trample the Wolf-Dwelling Mountain with my horse."
