Chapter 279 Capture of the Huns

The remnants of the Huns were dead and wounded, and they were not marching very fast. Halfway through, they encountered Hu Yanhong's army coming to support them.

Although the southeastern army was delayed for some days on the road, since Jiang He took over the army, the morale of the army was united and the pace suddenly became much faster.

When Hu Yanhong retreated with the remaining Xiongnu army, he caught up with them.

When Hu Yanhong saw this, he was not panicked. Their army was larger in number, and the southeastern army was coming from the north. The soldiers in the army were extremely tired. If the two sides really fought, they would never be opponents.

Fortunately, Li Yunxing led the southeastern army and the imperial guards. It seemed that he did not want to fight for real. Both sides were just pretending, and Hu Yanhong led the soldiers to retreat.

Liu Zhongqing was depressed for two days. When he saw this, he immediately became energetic and rushed to the prince's camp.

"Your Highness, the Xiongnu army has repeatedly violated our borders. This time, they want to pass through the Chu Kingdom before attacking our Wu Dynasty. With such wolfish ambitions, how can you just let them go like this?"

He originally wanted to find Li Yunxing's fault and find a way to force him to hand over the military power of the Southeast Army.

Unexpectedly, when Li Yunxing heard this, he nodded in agreement.

"Master Zaifu is right. We really cannot let the Huns go back like this. Jiang He immediately ordered us to go down. We still need to go north to continue the pursuit."

Jiang He took the order and immediately went back to mobilize the southeastern army and imperial guards.

Liu Zhongqing was completely stunned. His original intention was not to let Li Yunxing continue to pursue him, he just wanted to catch him making a mistake. Who would have thought that things would develop beyond his expectation.

"Prince, why don't you let my third son lead the southeastern army to continue chasing? You are a rich man, and you will supervise the country in place of Emperor Wu. If the enemy ambushes and threatens your safety, the state of Wu Dynasty will be disturbed here. You still

Let’s go back to the capital first.”

Li Yunxing slapped the table and stood up, saying rather boldly.

"No, the reason why I am leading troops on this expedition is to advance and retreat together with the soldiers, and to promote the prestige of our Wu Dynasty."

Liu Zhongqing looked extremely ugly. When he got back to the carriage, he immediately wrote a secret letter to the Xiongnu Chanyu. Since Li Yunxing wanted to pursue him, let him go and let the Xiongnu Chanyu send more troops.

return.

Hu Yanhong felt a little strange when he looked at the Wu Dynasty soldiers chasing behind him.

He had previously received a secret message from Shan Yu, saying that there was a Huns spy on the prince's side, so their operation would go smoothly. But now that the prince is chasing after him, who knows if the spy is still there?

Unexpectedly, that night, he received a secret letter, not from Shanyu, but from the army of Wu Dynasty.

The person who wrote the letter wanted to cooperate with him and plan together to kill the crown prince Li Yunxing. The letter also included a token that Shan Yu had given him before.

Convinced that this was the legendary insider, Hu Yanhong believed the person who wrote the letter.

The two parties discussed the plan and prepared to go to Bingzhou nearby.

Hu Yanhong led the army to occupy a pass in Bingzhou first, intending to reverse the attack and defense in this dangerous place.

Jiang He led the march and chased him to the bottom of the city, shouting for Hu Yanhong to surrender immediately.

Hu Yanhong originally came to attack the Chu State, and he was sure of the situation. He never thought that something like the Wu Dynasty would go wrong halfway, which already made him feel uneasy.

Now that I see the instigator behind this, that is, the prince, I am naturally furious.

"I heard that the one chasing me this time is the prince of your Wu Dynasty. Since he has already come, why bother hiding behind others?"

Soon, Li Yunxing came over with the remaining soldiers. Hearing this, he burst out laughing.

"I have heard about the famous General Huyan for a long time. I am lucky to meet him today."

Hu Yanhong looked around Li Yunxing carefully. Is he the prince of Wu Dynasty?

"I heard that Princess Xiang Yunyan of Chu State had taken refuge with you, and she became so angry that she became a beauty. It seems that even the prince of Wu Dynasty cannot escape this beauty trap."

So he said, and ordered all the archers to set up on the city wall and shoot arrows downwards.

When Jiang He saw the opponent taking action, he immediately ordered his soldiers to attack the city.

The pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Huns soldiers took advantage of the terrain and really couldn't attack it for a while.

At this moment, the deafening sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the distance. Hu Yanhong immediately forgot about the past and saw that a group of soldiers and horses were running quickly from the northwest.

Li Yunxing smiled when he heard the voice. Although the time and place of the battle were temporarily changed, the northwest army still arrived in Bingzhou on time.

Hu Yanhong didn't know what was going on at this time. He fell into the trap from the beginning. First, on the way to attack Chu, he received the news that the city of Dandang had been lost. He temporarily changed direction and came to the city of Dandang, but was defeated and escaped.

, and was attacked by a pincer on the border of Bingzhou.

If he hadn't been involved in the trap, he would never have believed that someone could set up such a carefully arranged and tightly-knitted trap.

He looked at Li Yunxing, who was sitting leisurely on his horse at the bottom of the city.

Could it be that this bureau was set up by the prince of Wu Dynasty?

It was the Wu Dynasty's good fortune that the future prince of the Wu Dynasty had such a strategy, but it was a great misfortune for the surrounding Chu State and the Xiongnu.

Under the attack of the southeastern and northwest armies, how could the remaining Xiongnu army resist? Hu Yanhong was soon captured alive.

Liu Zhongqing slumped in his chair, as if he couldn't believe this ending.

How is this possible? The plan was so thorough before, but it seemed that there was just a little mistake in every link, and in the end we got a completely different result.

Li Yunxing not only captured the Xiongnu army unscathed, he even recovered the southeastern army, and along the way, Zhan Jun of the northwest army made military exploits and was directly named a general.

Seeing that the prince's power is getting stronger, their Liu family is in danger.

Liu Yin rushed in in a panic and saw his father slumped in a chair, thinking that he was still in the mood to sit in a daze in this critical situation.

"Father, something bad has happened. Hu Yanhong has been arrested. Zhan Jun will lead the northwest army back to the camp, while Li Yunxing will take Jiang He and others to Dandang City."

Liu Zhongqing didn't react at all, so Liu Yin stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder.

"Father, did you hear what I said? Li Yunxing is going to Decadang City."

Liu Zhongqing jumped up from his chair and immediately came to the prince's camp to say goodbye.

This time Li Yunxing took back the military power of the southeastern army, which was a big threat to Li Yuntian. He must go back early and discuss it early.

When Li Yunxing saw that he wanted to leave, he naturally would not ask him to stay. By the way, he also ordered a few imperial guards to escort Mr. Liu back safely.

Liu Zhongqing is smiling but not smiling.

"I really can't leave the capital for too long, so I asked for orders to go back. However, my third son Liu Yinke will stay with the Eastern Army for the time being and practice more in the army. I hope the prince will take more care of him."
