Chapter 397 Killing the Huns King

"Brother Tadun, what are you doing?"

Looking at the broken cup, Hu Chuquan panicked instantly, especially when there were rapid footsteps behind the screen, and countless swordsmen rushed out and asked quickly.

"Haha, Huchuquan, you are so naive!" Tadun took another cup, poured a cup of tea, and sneered.

"Tandun, what do you mean?" Hu Chuquan put his palm on the sword at his waist and looked at the swordsmen around him with vigilance. The two deputy generals beside him also looked around in fear.

"What do you mean? Humph, you overestimate your capabilities and dare to rebel against Mr. Yuan. Don't worry, I will give you a happy life. After you die, I will take over your cavalry for you!"

Tadun took a sip of tea and raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sinister look.

"You, you betrayed me? Tadun, you don't deserve to die!" Hu Chuquan finally understood. Tadun obviously betrayed him for profit, and his purpose was to annex his troops!

"Qiang!"

With that said, Huchuquan drew his sword and roared, intending to kill both Tadun and the others. However, with Tadun's acquiescence, the swordsmen around him slashed at him with countless swords, and blood spurted out in an instant.

I saw that Huchuquan was chopped to pieces, and the two bodyguards also died tragically on the spot!

"unlucky!"

Tadun looked at a drop of blood splattered in the tea cup in his hand, his face darkened, and he snorted coldly.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

Yuan Tan came out clapping his palms with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Chief Tadun for successfully annexing Huchuquan's subordinates. I also hope that Chief Tadun and my father Shuai Ke will win consecutive battles in the future."

"Natural, natural!" Tadun chuckled.

————

That night, there was chaos outside the city.

The news of the death of Huchuquan, the king of the Xiongnu, has spread. According to the historical practice of the Xiongnu, either the Xiongnu royal family will inherit the throne, or the strongest warrior will be selected to inherit the position.

But with Tadun's suppression, all the Xiongnu turmoil was put down, and the nearly 70,000 Xiongnu cavalry would be in charge of Tadun. As for the cause of death of the Xiongnu, they colluded with Chu Feng to conspire to kill Yuan Shao. Simply put, they died unjustly.

Because the Huns had no food and grass, they had to rely on Yuan Shao for food and grass. In addition, Yuan Shao had not treated them badly, so no one felt dissatisfied.

As for Tadun, in order to stabilize people's hearts, he directly promised all the Hun knights that after the war, they could arrange to live in Youzhou, and each of them would give two Han girls as wives and concubines.

This move is better than what Hu Chuquan gave when he was in power.

For a time, the Huns cavalry admired this man who was both capable and brave.

————

The sky gradually turns white,

Last night, Yuan Shao didn't sleep a wink at all.

At this moment, Yuan Tan strode over, clasped his fists and said: "Commander Father, all the Huns have been rectified for Ta!"

"Very good!" Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

He knew that foreign races were difficult to control, and no one could guarantee whether the knights under his command would rebel after Hu Chuquan died. It was precisely because of this that Yuan Shao did not dare to close his eyes.

"Father, handsome, there is something that I don't know whether to talk about or not!" Yuan Tan asked with a frown.

"Say!" Yuan Shao said.

"Commander Father, that Tadun is not simple. Now it has annexed tens of thousands of Huns' cavalry. I'm worried." Yuan Tan said what he was worried about earlier, because he saw with his own eyes that the Huns were being raped and reorganized.

But before he could finish speaking, Yuan Shao raised his hand and said, "Don't mention this matter again!"

"No!" Yuan Tan nodded angrily.

"By the way, the autumn harvest is around the corner. We are sending orders to all places. After the autumn harvest, grain and grass must be transported to the front line as soon as possible. Next, we should also prepare to go south. The dry season will come soon!"

Yuan Shao's eyes showed a bit of sinisterness and he warned.

"No!" Guo Tu responded quickly.

"By the way, there is news from Cao Cao. Now he has occupied the entire Yizhou, and his strength has greatly increased." Yuan Shao mentioned Cao Cao, with some inexplicable anger in his heart.

Because Cao Cao captured Yizhou, but he didn't get any benefits.

To put it bluntly, even if Chu Feng can be severely injured this time, he is no longer a match for Cao Cao. He Jizhou has already lost all his foundation due to two consecutive wars.

On the other hand, Cao Cao moved millions of people from Guanzhong, and now there are millions more in Yizhou. Counting Xiliang and other places, the population of Cao Cao's people is probably approaching ten million. This number is already infinitely close to Chu Feng.

Nowadays, he has only a small number of troops and troops.

"My lord, there has been no news from Cao Cao recently. As he said last time, after the autumn harvest, he will enter the Huaihe River along the Yingshui River and camp on the north bank of the Huaihe River." Xu You immediately clasped his fists and said.

"Soon!" Yuan Shao muttered.

"My lord, in fact, in my opinion, Cao Cao is currently occupying Yizhou and his strength has greatly increased. In addition, the Kushan Empire in his alliance has four to five million soldiers and horses. Our army is much weaker."

"In this battle, even if our army caters to you, we must stay behind, otherwise Chu Feng will be destroyed. Then, with Cao Cao's ambition, he will naturally attack the lord. We must guard against this!"

Xu You looked solemn and said solemnly.

"Well, that's exactly what I meant. Since Cao Cao has many troops and dangerous mountains and rivers, even if Chu Feng is eliminated in the future, he will still be the biggest obstacle!" Yuan Shao nodded solemnly.

"My lord, I have a suggestion." Xu You hesitated a little, then said.

"Tell me about it!" Yuan Shao was a little curious.

"My lord, it is said that the reason why the Kushan Empire aided Cao Cao was for the sake of the countries in the Western Regions. But I just saw that it is not that simple. I suspect that the Kushan Empire intends to get involved with the Han Dynasty!"

"He has formed an alliance with Cao Cao now. No one knows why, but he can send someone to contact him. Maybe he can find an opportunity to defeat the enemy by fighting with Cao Cao in the future!"

Xu You squinted his eyes and said solemnly.

"You mean we should also contact the Kushan Empire?" Yuan Shao squinted his eyes, then his pupils shone brightly, and he said with a smile: "That's a good idea, maybe there is something we don't know about!"

"In this way, I will leave this matter to you. If you need money or beauty, ask at any time. I will arrange for someone to send it. As long as I can get on the line with the Kushan Empire, I can do it!"

"I accept your orders!" Xu You immediately said, cupping his fists.

The autumn harvest is in full swing!

In the fields, countless old farmers were sweating like rain, waving their sickles in their hands, and harvesting the heavy grains. However, the smiles on the faces of the people under the three princes were completely different.

Under Chu Feng's rule, the people's faces were filled with smiles.

But under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the people could occasionally see smiles, but they were more confused about the future and more thinking about how to spend this winter and how to spend the next spring and summer.

At this moment, outside Chang'an City.

In the Yellow River system, countless grains that were first harvested have begun to be loaded on ships, and then they will go east along the Yellow River, preparing to pass through the chasm, and finally enter the Yingshui River and reach the front line.

As for Cao Cao, he has returned to Chang'an.

All he needed to do was to choose a day to send troops to Hefei.

As for Yizhou, he dispatched General Jin to garrison in order to intimidate all parties. Yu Jin was regarded as the first general with a foreign surname under Cao Jun's rule, and he was the best in all aspects of uniting the army.

Because of the ban on garrisoning, Cao Cao was relieved.

At the same time, Cao Cao mobilized countless soldiers and horses to Yufu Pass. The general who led the army was Xu Huang. He was preparing to approach Jingzhou on this road. Xu Huang, like Zhou Yafu, had the courage and strategy to invade Jingzhou.

And around Cao Cao, there are generals such as Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Ma Chao, Pang De, Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Zhou Yu, Le Jin, Li Dian, Zang Ba, Li Tong, Man Chong, etc., who can also be regarded as shining generals.

Except for those who surrendered before,

During the Battle of Yizhou, Wu Yi stayed in Yizhou to help him stabilize Yizhou, Zhang Ren surrendered, and there was also general Yan Yan. Overall, Cao Cao had quite a few generals and soldiers.

——

At this moment, in the main hall.

All civil and military officials were present, but they were all talking and waiting for someone. Even the first emperor, Liu Xie, was eagerly waiting.

"This Cao Cao is really going too far!"

"You are simply arrogant and don't take the Emperor seriously at all!"

"But have you heard that Cao Cao came back in a hurry after pacifying Yizhou this time? It is said that he is going to fight to the death with Chu Feng. Food and grass have begun to be transferred from various places!"

"Can you win?"

"Who knows, but it is said that Guishuang's 200,000 troops will also participate in it. With the addition of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other troops, I guess Chu Feng's side will be in trouble!"

At this moment, there was endless discussion in the court.

Everyone is talking about the recent news.

“It’s coming, it’s coming, please stop talking!”

Someone whispered a reminder, and everyone lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, looking back with their peripheral vision.

I saw Cao Cao walking into the court, with a sword hanging on his waist and a hearty smile on his face. Because of Yizhou's victory, Cao Cao regained his previous confidence. He believed that Chu Feng would lose this battle.

"I have seen your Majesty!" Cao Cao handed over his hand.

Liu Xie swallowed: "Love, love your life!"

Liu Xie hated nothing more than Cao Cao, because his queen was lost to Hefei by Cao Cao.
