Yu Fuluo smacked the grass leaves in his mouth, spat it out, and said: "There is no sweetness at all! It is far different from the grass in the royal court!"
The guard on the side was about to say something when he heard the sound of horse hooves and more than twenty people and horses running towards him from afar...
The guard looked carefully and said immediately: "It's Battle who's back!"
Like a whirlwind, Battelle rode up to the front without slowing down his horse's speed. He just turned over and dismounted, and then took two steps to trot to reduce the momentum, showing his superb horsemanship.
"Zhao Ri, take the time to represent Battelle!" Yu Fuluo laughed, stood up, hugged Battelle, and said, "Let's see what our charging warriors have gained!"
Battle smiled proudly and waved. A Hun soldier untied a few heads from the horse's neck, lifted them up, and placed them in front of Yu Fuluo. Battle himself touched them in his arms and took them out. Three military reports were handed to Yu Fuluo...
Yu Fuluo took the military newspaper, opened it, tilted his head, and tried to identify what was written inside.
Most of the Huns didn't know how to read. Yu Fuluo was relatively good at it. He was originally the Youxian King of the Southern Huns and had learned some Chinese characters. However, Battelle didn't recognize Chinese characters at all. The confused people were so dizzy...
"Chanyu, what's written on it?" Battelle gave up completely and asked Yufuluo.
"Hahaha!" Yu Fuluo burst out laughing suddenly, pointing to the text in the military newspaper and said, "...do you know what the Han people said? Hahaha... they said that after three days and three nights of hard work, they finally defeated us. They defeated us and beheaded more than a hundred of us..."
"Ah?" After hearing this, Battle couldn't help but touched his neck to check that his head was indeed on his neck. He couldn't help but said doubtfully, "... none of us died. Whose head did the Han people chop off?"
"Hmph!" Yu Fuluo snorted disdainfully, did not answer the question, fiddled with the heads on the ground with his feet, and counted, "Well, six, that's right, the messengers from Xin'an City are all here. ...Tozhit, give these heads to the one who came with us and exchange each head for a piece of silver, do you know?"
Yu Fuluo also made some gestures with his hands, and Tuo Ruite nodded to express his understanding, and then carried the head away.
After a while, Tozhit came back with a few pieces of silver. Yu Fuluo counted them and saw that the number was correct, so he nodded and asked Tozhit to put the silver away.
Tozhit took out another piece of paper and said, "This is what the man asked me to bring to Shanyu."
Yu Fuluo took it, unfolded it, looked at it, frowned, and remained silent.
Battelle looked at Yu Fuluo's expression and said, "Chanyu, what's wrong?"
Yu Fuluo said: "That man asked us to attack a group of Han troops coming from the east tomorrow..."
"Ah?" Battle said, "Then...do the Han people have cavalry?"
The cavalry of the Han Dynasty was no match for the Huns' cavalry, because the superior technology in iron-making technology, especially the difference in armor, made up for the difference in riding skills, and they could often kill the Hu in a head-on confrontation. Crying for father and mother...
That's why Battle asked if there were any cavalry.
"Yes, there are eight hundred cavalry, and about seven or eight hundred infantry... However, the man said that he can provide us with five hundred sets of armor, and someone will send it to us soon..."
"Five hundred sets of armor!" Battelle plucked his fingers and found that he couldn't count the number of five hundred with ten fingers. He said happily: "Isn't that a lot? Great! Then we don't have to be afraid of the Han cavalry. Got it!"
"No, Barter," Yufuluo said, "hold the plow. We are the descendants of China. We must not only be brave, but also wise..."

In order to reach Xin'an today, Guo Pu even set off an hour early.
The Xiliang cavalry were all rushing to tidy up their horses, feeding them a few more bites of fried beans, and occasionally filling their own mouths with some.
The infantry and auxiliary soldiers packed up the tents, sorted out the supplies, and took away some of the iron fasteners used to build the camp. Although the wood could be cut down in the mountains, these iron parts could not be abandoned at will, otherwise they would not be able to build the camp next time. There is no place to look for the camp.
It was late last night, and it was early today. The cavalry was slightly better, but the infantry and auxiliary soldiers did not have a good rest at all. They could not stop yawning while working.
Ding ding dong dong was busy for a while, and finally everything was sorted, and the army set off on the journey again.
Guo Pu sent out his scouts as usual, but he didn't expect that not long after he was sent out, one of the scouts was hit by an arrow and escaped, reporting intermittently that there were twenty or thirty Yellow Turban cavalrymen seven or eight miles ahead...
Guo Pu was surprised and happy. Meeting the yellow turban thief's horse showed that it was at least a level higher than the one with a sickle and a hoe that he had expected before. However, it also meant that there was a yellow turban thief in front of him. He came over by himself. Isn't it just to chop off the heads of some Yellow Turban thieves?
Guo Pu quickly sent out a group of Xiliang cavalry to explore the road first and drive away the twenty or thirty Yellow Turban Rangers. In Guo Pu's estimation, the Yellow Turban thieves could only have this many cavalry at most, one hundred It is not easy for people to deal with people in their twenties and thirties.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the leader of the team to send someone back to report that he had driven away more than 20 Yellow Turban Rangers and killed five of them. The rest had fled to Xin'an. He was chasing them and sent someone back first. Report it.
Guo Pu laughed and ordered the entire army to catch up quickly. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the defeated Yellow Turban rangers had notified the besieging soldiers of the city, but had no time to take any defensive measures to attack, so that they could be defeated. The advantages of the Xiliang cavalry were brought into play.
Two legs obviously couldn't keep up with four legs. Guo Pu saw the infantry becoming more and more out of touch with the cavalry. He was really impatient, so he ordered the infantry auxiliary to come later. He led the cavalry to pursue the Yellow Turban Army first... …
Eight hundred cavalry can fight against two thousand regular infantry head-on, not to mention there are only a thousand yellow scarf thieves scattered around the city?
As for the infantry, just slow down and clean the battlefield. This will save you from having to share some of your profits when the merits are discussed after the war...
Shanlan was still a little chilly in the early morning, but Guo Pu's whole body was boiling with enthusiasm. He pulled out the Huanshou knife, held it in his hand and waved it, shouting loudly: "My sons, kill the enemy today! After defeating the enemy, we can eat and drink."
The boss is full! Anyone who kills the general and captures the flag will be rewarded with a hundred golds! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
After shouting, he took the lead in clamping the horse's belly and drove forward at a medium speed.
The Xiliang cavalry behind them also echoed and followed Guo Pu...
After three visits to the thatched cottage, Liu Bei held Zhuge Liang's hand tightly and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he finally talked to Guan with tears in his eyes. Zhang said: "Brothers, we will not be short of three!
