After Tadun returned to Liucheng, he learned from Wu Yan what the Han army had done during this period, and was shocked.

"It seems that western Liaoning has become a place of right and wrong! Fortunately, I was more cautious before, otherwise there is no guarantee what will happen."

"Chanyu, why don't we run away! We have left the green hills without fear of running out of firewood. Now that Gongsun Zan has won a great victory, Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu are no longer able to resist. Although we are further away, it will be our turn soon. We

We can't just sit back and wait for death, why not retreat to the Western Regions while Gongsun Zan is restrained by Xianbei?" Su Puyan suggested.

Su Puyan's courage was frightened by the successive defeats during this period. He was deeply afraid that Gongsun Zan would join forces with Yuan Shu, and then they would really have no way to escape.

Tadun closed his eyes and pondered for a moment without answering. The leaders of the ministries below also looked at Tadun helplessly. The failure of the decisive battle with Gongsun Zan made them realize how dangerous their situation was now, and they could only count on Tadun.

"Is Gongsun Zan currently moving troops against us in western Liaoning?" Tadun carefully considered the current situation, a light flashed in his mind, and he opened his eyes and said.

Wu Yan replied: "No. According to the intelligence gathered by the spies, Gongsun Zan's army has been lingering near the area north of Shanggu County, attacking the forces of Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu, but they have not paid any attention to us."

Tadun curled his lips, and it turned out to be true!

"Chanyu, this must be the old thief Gongsun who wants to cut off our retreat first, temporarily paralyze us, and intends to surround us with Jiangdong's cavalry. We have to be on guard!" Su Puyan said, "I have seen through everything."

The other leaders also nodded in agreement.

Tadun sighed slightly in his heart. This is his biggest flaw. It is difficult for foreign races to produce wise men. The cultural background is too shallow. It is possible to produce some strong generals, but it is too difficult to produce a counselor. Every time he encounters such a dangerous situation

, I don’t even have anyone to make up my mind.

However, Tadun was the hero of the party after all, and he quickly recovered from the loss. Over the years, he had relied on himself to develop Wuhuan under the eyes of the powerful Xianbei, and developed Wuhuan to a point where it is now almost comparable to Xianbei.

He has become accustomed to this kind of situation, which is why the tribal leaders are so convinced of him.

"Did you notice anything unusual about Gongsun Zan in the previous battle?" Tadun said.

The leader below thought carefully and looked at Tadun with a blank look on his face: "I don't know, I hope Shan Yu will give me some instructions."

"If the situation is normal, what do you think Gongsun Zan will do if we withdraw our troops?"

"They must be hot on their heels!" Su Puyan said without hesitation. Gongsun Zan was famous for his vengeful character, and he would pursue these leaders crazily every time he fought.

"That's right. But this time Gongsun Zan has no intention of pursuing us at all. This is not his usual style." Tadun had been in a panic before, so he didn't think about it carefully. Now that he thinks about it, there are really a lot of doubts.

"Perhaps it was because he was entangled? He was surrounded by tens of thousands of Xianbei troops at that time!"

"Impossible. You also know the situation at that time. After that good-for-nothing Helian ran away, the Xianbei army was already in ruins. It was impossible for Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi to be entangled by these defeated armies." Tadun said with certainty.

"I, the Wuhuan Chanyu, am a thorn in Gongsun Zan's side and a thorn in his flesh. I am not comparable to that good-for-nothing He Lian. It's okay if Gongsun Zan doesn't pursue He Lian. He didn't even touch me. This is completely inconsistent with his character."

Wu Yan said uncertainly: "What Shanyu means is that Gongsun Zan intends to let us go?"

"That must be the case!" Tadun affirmed: "If you think about it carefully, the only cavalry that chased us at that time was the cavalry of ten thousand people. Judging from their uniforms and the weakness of their horses, they were obviously Jiangdong's cavalry. Gongsun Zan could not even have a large army.

If we didn’t send it out, how could it be possible if we didn’t do it intentionally?”

"Why did Gongsun Zan go out of his way to let us go?" Su Puyan asked puzzledly: "His attitude towards us has always been to eradicate the roots without leaving any future troubles!"

"There is only one possibility for Gongsun Zan to do this, and that is that he needs our presence, because we have temporarily lost the threat, and he needs us to contain one force."

"Containment? Could it be Xianbei?"

Tadun showed disdain: "Just like what that good-for-nothing Chanyu Helian did, it would be nice if Xianbei doesn't kill each other next. Why do we need to contain him? He asked us to contain Jiangdong."

"How is it possible? Didn't Jiangdong just help them win? And it is said that Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu have a good relationship, and the two sides have already reached an alliance." Su Puyan said in disbelief.

"How can there be any alliance between the Han people? Now the Han people are in a mess. Who knows what kind of filth there is between them?" Tadun said.

"Although we are defeated, as long as Gongsun Zan does not target us, it will be fine. Just rely on the power of Jiangdong to easily seize Liaoxi from our hands. When Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zan, this northern grassland will still be our world." Tadun's heart burned.

new ambitions.

Both Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu suffered heavy losses, and their Wuhuan losses were relatively small. If Gongsun Zan was defeated, maybe he could lead the Wuhuan to regain their strength. Without Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu, the Wuhuan family could be alone.

Xianbei, which is large and has exceeded its peak period, is not a bad idea.

Otherwise, this failure will turn out to be a big opportunity!

"Yuan Shao formed an alliance with us. He had promised to send troops before but there was no movement at all. Can he defeat Gongsun Zan? Aren't you scared out of your wits?" Su Puyan said.

"Yuan Shao is not an easy person. He may not lose to Gongsun Zan. Even if Yuan Shao loses, we will still have the opportunity to fight hard. It will be better than fleeing to the Western Regions." Tadun said.

"We all obey Shanyu's orders." The leaders below were slowly convinced by Tadun. They themselves were reluctant to leave their homes and flee to the Western Regions. With so many tribesmen under their command, who knows how many people would die on the way, and whether there would be any when they got there.

A place of survival.

...

After Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun joined Zhang Liao, they quickly rushed to southwestern Liaoning. At the same time, Yuan Shu from Jiangdong also learned about the battle situation in the north.

"Tadun is not dead, so this is a bit troublesome!" Yuan Shu said with some worry.

"My lord, the relationship between Tadun and Yuan Shao is good. They will definitely be enemies rather than friends with us in the future. But since the situation is like this, my lord should first plan for Liaodong to settle down, and then plan for western Liaoning." Jia Xu said.

"But western Liaoning has always been a roadblock in front of us, but it cannot be ignored. If it is not removed, it will be almost impossible for us to show our strength in the northern grasslands." Guo Jia said.

"Yes." Yuan Shu nodded: "Let's not mention these for now. Since Liaoxi is difficult to capture for the time being, let Wenyuan and others retreat to Yingzhou to rest."

"My lord, Gongsun Zan also suffered a lot in this battle. It is estimated that it will be difficult to mobilize troops within half a year. The north will not be able to fight for the time being. Now we can turn our attention back. The time in Guandong is now ripe. While everyone is focusing their attention on
