Soon after Chen Xi and Zhou Yu broke out of the encirclement and retreated to the west, Kun Wan gathered hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous men and immediately ordered Wan Qi to lead the army to pursue Chen Xi.
As for Kun Wan, he stayed behind first and gathered together the tribesmen who had been dispersed in the two camps of the Northern Huns. After suffering such a shock, the more than 400,000 tribesmen had gathered less than 200,000. Kun Wan could only escort them first.
These 200,000 tribesmen merged with the tribesmen from the previous camp.
After this battle, the most basic clan members of the Northern Huns were left with less than 500,000. After Kunwan confirmed this situation, the anger in his heart rose, and the clansmen of the Northern Xiongnu were even more sad. In this anger and sorrow,
Next, many Northern Huns warriors who stayed in the camp directly asked to fight.
Kunwan was already furious and had long forgotten Hu Yanchu's orders. Spurred by the death of their tribesmen, the ordinary Northern Huns warriors had already forgotten their missions and all they could think of was revenge.
As a result, the remaining 500,000 Northern Huns squeezed out more than 20,000 young men, and the rest took all the horses, cattle and sheep to the farther north.
For the Northern Huns who had plundered almost the entire grassland during this period, it was not difficult to support more warriors. After this battle, in order to take revenge, the Northern Huns would tighten their belts and support more soldiers.
warrior.
What's more, so many cattle and sheep are simply a costless business for the Northern Huns. If they could be exchanged for the blood of the Han Dynasty, they would be very happy.
Kunwan's own army of 20,000, after gathering the 5,000 defeated troops of the Uluolan clan, had reached 25,000. Later, after the Northern Xiongnu squeezed out more than 20,000 young men from the few tribesmen, Kunwan
The number of troops has reached more than 40,000, close to 50,000.
The number of young people among the 500,000 Northern Huns in the rear has dropped to about one-fifteenth. However, both Kunwan and the ordinary Northern Huns have their eyes covered by hatred and cannot see such a dangerous situation at all.
situation.
After Kunwan gathered all the young men and put them in leather armor and horses, tens of thousands of people gathered together. They already had a hint of the momentum of the former Xiongnu Empire. Since leaving the northern prairie, the Northern Xiongnu had already
There has not been such a military presence in a hundred years.
Watching the tribesmen driving millions of cattle, sheep and horses north, Kun Wan ordered his people to drive the remaining nearly one million cattle and sheep south. These were the provisions that Kun Wan prepared for this battle.
The Northern Huns who drove their cattle and horses north, and the young Northern Huns who drove their grain and grass south, had no idea that after this separation, they would probably never see each other again in this life.
Hu Yanchu, who was also on the front line, had no idea what he was seeking. Not long after he left the rear, he was overwhelmed by the anger and desire for revenge of his tribe. What made him even more helpless was that when these young men went south, they were
Not even Hu Yanchu can drive back the tribesmen controlled by anger.
In this way, it is possible to implement what Jia Xu wants in one battle, but Hu Yanchu's hope of using labor pains to solve the biggest domestic conflicts, and even the danger of annihilation, like Zichan in the Spring and Autumn Period, is completely lost.
significance.
Of course, Hu Yanchu, who is currently on the front line, wooing the Hu people from all over the place and gathering hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison at the same place, planning to lead the northern Hu people to a showdown with the Han Dynasty, has no idea that such a thing has appeared behind him.
Wait for changes.
As for the War Eagle delivering the message, unfortunately King Youxian Kunwan had no face to tell Hu Yanchu what was happening in the rear. All he could do was to lead 45,000 Northern Xiongnu elite cavalry and 200,000 miscellaneous Husbands to go south to meet Hu Yanchu in person.
To explain all this, and then to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield between Han and Hungarians.
When the Huns left their northern settlements and headed further north, Yuan Tan and others had also successfully gone north along the road guided by Liu Yu.
"Xiuruo, have you thought about it?" Xu You looked at Xun Chen and asked. This time they have taken out the last bit of the Yuan family's wealth in Hebei, but this is not important. What is important is Yuan Tan's determination.
An idealist emerged.
As for the other members of the Yuan family in Hebei, Yuan Tan had already sent people to Yuzhou, but Liu Bei did not stop them. This can already explain a lot.
"It's not that I thought about it, but I already understand Jia Wenhe's way of thinking." Xun Chen said helplessly, "It's not my pride that I am inferior to others, but I have only now understood Jia Wenhe's way of thinking.
"
"Okay, you haven't fought against Jia Wenhe. It's not easy to figure out his way of thinking just by relying on the information I've collected about Jia Wenhe." Xu You said angrily.
said.
Xun Chen did not answer Xu You. He said this mainly because he wanted to say that Jia Wenhe's intelligence level had surpassed theirs. Otherwise, Xun Chen's spiritual talent would not have spent so much time on it.
"Jia Wenhe wanted to accomplish his feats in one battle. This time when we went south, we already knew that there were wise men among the Northern Huns. Their style was very different from the previous tough attacks. Based on this, we have
There is no conflict." Xun Chen looked at Xu You and said.
"I also know this. There are wise men in the Northern Huns, and the formation of troops is much better than before. It is enough to show that this person has a high authority among the Northern Huns, and the troops and horses going south are mobilized
His flexibility and steady mind are enough to prove that there is the person we are looking for among the people on the road ahead." Xu You interrupted Xun Chen.
Xu You is not a fool. He is greedy at most, but there is no problem with his IQ. So in the past few days, he has made a judgment that the wise men of the Northern Huns are on the front line, and they have extremely high knowledge of the Northern Huns.
of control.
In addition, the Northern Xiongnu attacked several times in succession, and the kings performed quite appropriately. This also means that the wise man on the front line has extremely high dominance over the kings among the Huns. Inferring from this, the identity of the other party can be easily revealed.
Although there is no clear information confirming the identity of the other party as Chanyu, given that the Han Dynasty was an empire with a complete system, excellent counselors may not be able to command those high-ranking generals, and even if they could, they would not be able to stop those generals.
The generals made some unexpected moves, but obviously this did not happen on the Northern Xiongnu side.
In other words, the counselor who controls the Northern Huns must be of high authority, and if even the King of Sun Zhu and others who have the right to inherit are so convinced, then I am afraid it can only be a Chanyu. Even if he was not a Chanyu before, to achieve this step,
It is also a chanyu in a practical sense.
Based on this, both Jia Xu and Xu You actually gave very high evaluations to the current Chanyu Huyanchu. The first thing is that as the Chanyu Huyanchu, he has absolute prestige that can overwhelm everyone.
Precisely because of this, both Xu You and other advisers had already guessed that Hu Yanchu, a Chanyu, must have approved of returning to the east and going south.
Under such conditions, both Xu You and other first-class advisers have actually understood that if Hu Yanchu had not had the idea of destroying the Northern Xiongnu clan, which was the backbone of the Northern Xiongnu inheritance, then Hu Yanchu would not have been able to lead this group.
If the whole tribe retreats, at least there is an absolute certainty that the Northern Xiongnu will continue to enjoy their incense.
Otherwise, Hu Yanchu would not be able to take action against the Han Dynasty, because any first-rate or above counselor could see the absolute strength gap between the Han and Hungarians.
Even if Hu Yanchu controlled the Northern Xiongnu to integrate the entire grassland, and then used the method of disintegrating the demon to overdraw the potential of the entire grassland and pull out an army of 500,000, in fact, with so many people, even if only Cao Cao dragged them all the way north, he could still
Rely on national strength to drag down the Northern Huns to death.
However, the actual situation now is that it is clear that almost all the capable princes and families in the world have taken action, and Hu Yanchu has also seen the situation. However, the other party not only refuses to retreat, but also intends to stalemate.
As a result, after a little longer time, many people have actually understood that Hu Yanchu was already in a difficult situation. However, even Jia Xu, who had met Hu Yanchu, could not guarantee whether the other party expected the current situation or whether it was this situation.
However, although there is no way to guarantee it, both Jia Xu and Xu You, relying on the prudence of an excellent adviser, made a direct conclusion, and the other party had already predicted it!
Xun Chen listened to Xu You's long list of words and nodded silently, "Yes, that's it. I also think that the other party has already predicted it. Of course, it doesn't matter whether it is or not. It is right for us to respond according to what the other party has already predicted.
Already."
"Then what else do you want to say?" Xu You looked at Xun Chen and said.
"I have played against Chen Zichuan, so I have his complete way of thinking." Xun Chen looked at Xu You and said.
"Uh, no. Although I also know that you have been fighting with him for a long time, it is a bit strange to learn his complete way of thinking so quickly. To be honest, although your spiritual talent is good, it is impossible to steal someone so quickly.
A complete way of thinking." Xu You looked at Xun Chen with some disbelief and said.
"You are overthinking. Chen Zichuan's way of thinking is actually very simple. There are only two. One is to make a decision before taking action, and the other is to not be crushed!" Xun Chen said helplessly.
Xu You looked at Xun Chen speechlessly, "Put all your talents on domestic affairs and only focus on these two points on military strategy. No wonder you can't do anything against him."
"So no matter which one it is, it is destined that our army cannot help Chen Zichuan. But combined with Jia Xu's way of thinking, it is actually simple. Our mission is probably to destroy those hundreds of thousands of people.
The tribes in the rear of the Northern Xiongnu." Xun Chen sighed and said, and Xu You suddenly trembled.
"So that's what it means. I think we won't have to go back to the Central Plains after we finish this." Xu You sighed and said, "This is a great achievement, but also a great disaster."
"Chen Zichuan's mission is probably to defeat the remaining guards of the Northern Huns, and then kill a certain number of Northern Huns, and then arouse the anger of the Northern Huns and lure more young Northern Huns to go south. And our mission is probably to bring hundreds of thousands of Northern Huns to the south.
Kill all the Northern Huns who lack young strength." Xun Chen said quietly.
To be honest, he didn't like this kind of massacre, but the blood feud between the Han and Hungarians could only end with the total destruction of one side, and unfortunately they were the executioners controlled by Jia Xu to carry out the massacre.
In exchange, Jia Xu has allowed the Yuan family to go to Yuzhou. Although it was not stated explicitly, Xun Chen has now understood that it is a deposit. As for the follow-up, it should be to ensure that the Yuan family's status remains the same after Yuan Tan completes the genocide of the Northern Xiongnu.
.
"Yes, it is a great achievement, but we cannot keep this great merit, and I am afraid that the current Yuan family cannot keep it either. If it is not replenished, it will only be a disaster. If we disappear from now on, this great merit will be in vain for everyone.
On the contrary, it will be beneficial to the Yuan family." Xun Chen said with a bitter look on his face.
Once upon a time, the Yuan family was the largest prince in the world, and even had a clear tendency to aspire to be the leader. Unexpectedly, now, after picking the fruit that the world's family seeks, it will be unable to make up for it. It can be said that things in the world are impermanent.
"Then what should we do now?" Xu You actually had a clear plan, but he still asked Xun Chen to show respect. Now, the Yuan family's gorgeous counselors have withered to the point where only the two of them are left.
Already.
"Let's go according to Jia Xu's request. Let's eat up the merits of the world's noble family to repay the previous favor with Chen Zichuan, and let the world's noble family owe the favor." Xun Chen said casually.
Although because of their quick reaction, they didn't understand Jia Xu's thoughts until they took action. Even now, they can regret it and hurry up to inform the world's aristocratic family and ask the world's aristocratic family to come north with them to destroy these hundreds of thousands of people.
Northern Xiongnu tribe.
Let the merits that the Yuan family cannot afford be shared among these aristocratic families, and then let the world's aristocratic families use these merits and the land they own in the Central Plains to exchange for the land in the Northeast Plain, bringing the entire world's aristocratic families together
.
In this way, the money and goods are paid, and the family does not owe Liu Bei's favor, nor does it owe Chen Xi's favor. After all, the family's living soil was obtained in exchange for practical merits and their own land. It is not a fair exchange as before, but even if
If the family developed it themselves, they would inevitably owe Liu Bei and the Chen family a huge favor.
Back then, the Tian family relied on favors, but now that the world has reached this point, joining forces to occupy the Northeast Plains is beneficial to the family in every aspect, so even if you owe favors, you need to acknowledge them first.
Down.
This is also an important reason why after the Xiongnu went south, major aristocratic families went north. Some trained soldiers and trained their children. But the most important thing is that they need merit, because this merit can help them offset a lot of favors.
It is true that many times a favor cannot be repaid, but sometimes, a favor needs to be repaid with life. Unfortunately, this is the current situation. Liu Bei is like the sun in the sky, and Chen Xi is like a lone moon in the sky. They are no match for any other aristocratic family.
Not even an idiot knows this rhythm. The family may have to pay the favor with their lives decades later. After all, because of this incident, when Man Chong was making a new method, Chen Xi gave the family a hand.
The aristocratic family recognized the rope because of the favor. If it is not done, the favor will only get bigger and bigger, and it may even be fatal in the end.
