Chapter 83: The Wolf's House (Five)

Hexi

Xu Tu Wang Court

"Why didn't the Han army attack?" King Xiu Tu was very puzzled.

"Maybe the Han army is afraid, haha!" King Hun Xie laughed.

"Hahaha!" The other Hun nobles also laughed.

A few months ago, the Han army launched an attack on Hexi, and the commander-in-chief was Huo Qubing.

At first, the Huns in Hexi were very scared because they had long heard that Huo Qubing had brought the Shanyuting in the south of the Moon in the Huns and was very good at fighting.

But after a few months, they fought back and forth with the Han army, which greatly increased their confidence.

Huo Qubing is just like that!

As for why the Great Shanyu suffered a crushing defeat, it must have been a careless moment and did not react. Moreover, the Great Shanyu was old and was deceived by a young man like Huo Qubing and attacked him, so it was normal for a crushing defeat.

"Hahaha! Today we will break Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's invincible myth!" King Hun Xie was full of confidence.

...

Hunxie King Kingdom

Outside the royal court

King Hunxie, King Xiu Tu, etc. were all vassals of the Huns, and other tribes conquered by the Huns during their expansion to the west. These tribes surrendered to the Huns' Khan and fought for the Huns in all directions.

The nobles of the Hunxie Kingdom were supervising many serfs to plow the fields, and the Hun soldiers also used whips to beat some lazy slaves.

Most of these slaves were Han people plundered by the Huns, some were Westerners plundered from the Western Regions, and a very small number of Huns. These very few Huns were demoted to slaves because they offended the Huns' nobles and farmed for the Huns with those Han slaves and Western Regions slaves.

The Huns, a great country that spans the grasslands and the western regions of Hexi, has never been a simple nomadic economy. On the grassland, they have countless herdsmen and slaves herded sheep for them, and in Hexi and before, countless serfs farmed for them.

Hexi was originally the territory of the Great Yuezhi people. Many years ago, a group of nomads from the grassland drove away the Great Yuezhi people from Hexi and established Hunxi and Xiu Tu two kingdoms. Later, the more powerful nomads, that is, the Hunnu, also came to Hexi, Hunxi and Xiu Tu two kingdoms, so they surrendered to the Hunnu.

Just when these Han slaves were whipped to farm for the Hun nobles.

Boom boom boom boom!

The earth began to shake, and many black dots appeared on the horizon.

"Is it a Loulan native?"

A Xiongnu noble riding on a horse was very curious. This was the rear of Hexi. Apart from the Huns, only the relatively close Western Region Loulan Kingdom could come here.

But how dare the Loulan people bring their troops to attack Hunxie King?

They also knew that the Han Dynasty sent envoys to sneak into Hexi and sneaked to the Western Regions to seek allies, but they never took it seriously. After all, the countries in the Western Regions were the money bags of the Huns, so they dared not rebel against the Huns.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

Suddenly, a shocking shout of killing sounded, and many military flags appeared.

Looking at the style of the military flags, the Hun nobles were shocked because he recognized it. This was the Han army flag.

How could the Han army appear in the rear?

Aren’t our front-line troops still confronting them and killing them back and forth?

How did these Han troops bypass our Huns' army on the front and come to our rear?

It can't be that I have traveled thousands of miles across the desert, right? That's too terrible!

The Han army appears here, just like the Hun army appears in Huainan Kingdom, which is really incredible.

The Hun nobles could not understand it, but his instinct told him not to think too much and run away quickly.

"Han Army! It's Han Army! Run!"

Before escaping, he did not forget to remind other Xiongnu compatriots to run away together.

The Hun nobles ran back to the court of Hunxie King.

He was not from the Hunxie Kingdom, but the prince of Xiutu Kingdom. He also pursued the trend and gave himself the Chinese name of Jin Il-je.

Just because King Hunxie and King Xiu Tu formed a coalition to resist the Han army, he was brought to King Hunxie as a proton.

However, when the Huns in the Hunxie King's Court saw the Han army attack, they did not dare to resist at all, and all fled eastwards frantically.

"ah--"

"I surrender, don't kill me!"

The Huns cried and howled, and they didn't even have time to take away the livestock. Many of the slow-running Huns were killed by the Han cavalry. Some of the Huns saw that they could not escape, so they simply put down their weapons and knelt down and surrendered.

Jin Il-jeong was one of them. He knelt under the horse's hooves of a Han army captain and said humbly to him in his own skillful Chinese: "Dear Han army general, I am the prince of King Xiu Tu, please accept my surrender."

"Are you a prince?" The Han army captain originally planned to kill him directly. After all, there were too many surrendered Huns and they dared not keep them, for fear that these surrendered Huns would rebel. But the prince who was the Xiongnu Xiu Tu, in front of him was completely different, so he asked Jin Rizhao, "What's your name?"

"I have a Chinese name, Kim Il-jeong." Kim Il-jeong said humbly and asked back: "I will remember your name for General, and I will remember it forever."

"Haha! My name is Wang Changyu. I am not a general, but a captain. My superior Huo Qubing is the general." The Han army captain was Wang Changyu. As soon as he returned to the military camp, he was notified to participate in the Battle of Hexi. He followed Huo Qubing around the back and attacked the rear of the Huns in Hexi.

Huo Qubing really liked to circumnavigate. When Wei Qing fought against the Xiongnu Khan, he circumnavigate for more than a thousand miles away.

When the Han army had a decisive battle with the Huns Hunxie King and Xiu Tu King 60,000 of them on the Hexi front line, Huo Qubing led 8,000 cavalry across the desert more than 2,000 miles and went around the unprepared rear of the Huns in Hexi to launch a sneak attack.

"Are you talking about Huo Qubing?" Jin Il-jeong was extremely shocked when he heard the name Huo Qubing.

Didn’t Huo Qubing lead the 30,000 Han army to fight against the two Hun kings? Why did he come here?

"Huanyi, you are really good. Last time I caught a Hun Shanyu's uncle in the Shanyu court, and this time I caught a prince Xiu Tu in the Hunxie King's Court." Huo Qubing, who rushed over, heard the conversation between the two. After learning that Jin Riyi was the prince Xiu Tu, he praised Wang Changyu.

"Hehe, good luck, good luck." Wang Changyu smiled. He didn't know how to lead troops to fight, but he was brave in fighting. He led the way every time, and he was very lucky. He could capture important figures of the enemy every time.

Last time he was summoned by Emperor Liu Che, the emperor personally tested his military capabilities. After finding that he was just a man of war on paper, the emperor was very disappointed, but for Wang Changzhi's sake, he still asked him to be a subordinate of Huo Qubing and follow Huo Qubing to fight the Huns.

After slaughtering all the Huns here, Huo Qubing continued to command the soldiers: "The whole army goes east! Completely destroy the Huns in Hexi!"

Afterwards, the flag bearer waved the military flag, and more than a dozen soldiers were ordered to ride light horses and fast horses to convey Huo Qubing's military order.
