"King Zuo Xian, don't forget how the Xianbei dog was buried alive by Liu Zhang!"
"It was because there was no food and he was so hungry that he surrendered to Liu Zhang!"
"I don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Xianbei people..."
No matter what Liu Bao said, Huchuquan could not agree to his request.
Huchuquan didn't understand other things. He couldn't fight without food, but he still understood.
"Chanyu, we are different from the Xianbei people! Their way back has been cut off and they have no way to retreat!"
"What's more, Ke Bineng and Fu Luohan are just two idiots. How long has it been since they killed a horse for its flesh?"
Liu Bao's eyes were extremely firm, revealing his confidence at all times.
"Chanyu, if you don't want to go, then I will take my men and chase you alone!"
Hu Chuquan frowned, not expecting Liu Bao to be so persistent.
Liu Bao knew Hu Chuquan very well and never made a loss-making business.
If he hadn't discovered a huge opportunity, how could he take risks again?
If Liu Bao were allowed to go alone, it would be easy to say that he would fail, but at most he would lose some troops.
But once Liu Bao succeeds, where will Hu Chuquan's face go?
The entire Xiongnu would laugh at Shan Yu for his incompetence and not being as brave and courageous as King Zuo Xian!
Until then, Huchuquan should abdicate in favor of someone more worthy!
What's more, the position of Huchuquan, the Chanyu, was given to Liu Bao's father and Huchuquan's eldest brother.
Huchuquan also had a special love for Liu Bao.
"King Zuo Xian insists on going?"
Liu Bao nodded heavily, leaving no room for discussion.
"Chanyu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Everyone in the world is now afraid of Liu Zhang. If we can defeat Liu Zhang's spirit, the Xiongnu's status will rise sharply!"
"Furthermore, if there are no people in Hedong County, what is the use of our coming? For the future of our Xiongnu, this battle cannot be avoided no matter what!"
Hu Chuquan trembled slightly, with a look of shock in his eyes.
The opportunity to defeat Liu Zhang did not greatly appeal to Huchuquan.
But Liu Bao's words about the future of the Xiongnu directly awakened Huchuquan's inner ambition.
Just like Ke Bineng, Fu Luohan, and Bu Dugen wanted to be the second best in Tanshihuai.
Every generation of Xiongnu Chanyu always wants to become the second Maodun Chanyu of the Xiongnu.
"King Zuo Xian, you all know the situation of our Xiongnu. Although these sons and daughters are not all powerful, if they are lost, we Xiongnu will probably be in ruins!"
The Xiongnu were nomadic people through and through. They had no soldiers during peacetime, and they all herded sheep and horses.
But in time of war, all herdsmen can become warriors in a matter of seconds.
Therefore, if the Huns killed or wounded soldiers, it would be a heavy blow to the foundation!
"Don't worry Shanyu, I will definitely not lead the Huns into the abyss!"
Liu Bao immediately made a righteous assurance to Hu Chuquan, and at the same time, his inner ambition intensified again.
Threats and opportunities often coexist. The higher the risk, the higher the accompanying benefits!
Defeat the Yizhou Army and recapture the people of Hedong. From now on, the Xiongnu will become stronger!
"Okay! I will leave the future of the Xiongnu in your hands!"
Hu Chuquan nodded, and finally chose to believe it.
In fact, Hu Chuquan could feel in his heart that he was definitely not the one who could take the Xiongnu to a higher level.
As for whether it is Liu Bao or not, I can only pray to God.
"Thank you Shanyu!"
In the end, he agreed. Liu Bao breathed a sigh of relief and showed a heartfelt smile.
With the support of Shanyu Huchuquan, the Xiongnu army was quickly reorganized and their morale was regrouped.
Liu Bao led the troops directly under King Xian of the left as the vanguard, and Shanyu Huchuquan and King Xian of the right led the rest of the troops to follow closely behind.
The Xiongnu army of 90,000 troops set off southward again. This time their speed was faster and their purpose was clearer.
Pursue and destroy the Yizhou army and recapture the people of Hedong County.
At the same time, a special person suddenly visited Jingzhaoyin Chang'an City.
"What? Who did you say asked to see you?"
Liu Zhang suddenly exclaimed and jumped up from the bed.
Liu Zhang, who was taking a lunch break, immediately fell asleep after hearing these two words.
"Lord, the person who came here calls himself Lingling Shuzuo, Jiang Wan."
Jiang Wan, one of the four prime ministers of the Shu-Han Dynasty in history!
Liu Zhang would not be naive enough to think that there was only one person named Jiang Wan in the entire Han Dynasty.
But the scope has been narrowed to Lingling County. There should be only one person with this name who has the courage to ask to see him!
"What's wrong with Jiang Wan?"
"To report to my lord, Jiang Wan claims to be here on behalf of Liu Qi, the governor of Changsha. He has something important to ask to see my lord."
Liu Zhang gently rubbed his chin, constantly thinking about Jiang Wan's purpose.
Although he knew that Liu Bei would dominate the scene, Liu Qi should still have the final say in Jingnan at this time.
It's just that Zhuge Liang was fooling Liu Qi in Changsha, so Liu Qi probably didn't have any ideas.
So this time Jiang Wan came here, either on behalf of Liu Bei or on behalf of Zhuge Liang!
But Liu Bei has no one available? He actually sent a little brat!
"Invite Jiang Wan to Weiyang Palace."
"As you command!"
After the soldiers left, Liu Zhang quickly arranged his clothes and arrived at Weiyang Palace in advance.
Although Liu Zhang was very angry when Liu Bei sent an inferior Jiang Wan as an envoy, Liu Zhang still decided to receive him in the most solemn place out of personal concern for Jiang Wan.
Not long after, Jiang Wan, led by soldiers, came to Liu Zhang.
Jiang Wan kept his head lowered, acting very humble.
"Lingling Shuzuo Jiang Wan, pay your respects to Duke Qin!"
Liu Zhang was a little surprised. He did not expect that news of his being granted the title of Duke of Qin had spread to Jingnan.
"Well, get up."
After receiving Liu Zhang's permission, Jiang Wan slowly stood up and looked up at Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang also looked at Jiang Wan's face and his eyes widened.
Jiang Wan's age is completely inconsistent with Liu Zhang's imagination!
"You...how old are you?"
Perhaps Liu Zhang's question was quite rude, but Liu Zhang couldn't help it and blurted it out directly.
Sure enough, Jiang Wan was slightly startled after hearing Liu Zhang's question.
There was nothing immature about the Jiang Wan in front of her, either in appearance or temperament.
Standing in front of Liu Zhang, Jiang Wan showed no signs of cowardice, and his whole body showed a dignified manner and extraordinary bearing.
If Liu Zhang remembers correctly, Zhuge Liang was just twenty years old this year.
In his impression, as Zhuge Liang's successor, Jiang Wan must be younger than Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang is twenty years old this year, so Jiang Wan must be only ten years old.
This is also the reason why Liu Zhang laughed at Liu Bei because he had no one to use.
Who would have thought that the Jiang Wan in front of them not only did not look like a teenager at all, but actually looked a bit... like a thirty-year-old!
If it weren't for his extraordinary temperament, no one would doubt that Jiang Wan in front of him has passed his thirties!
