After returning to Jiuyuan County, Lu Bu rushed back to the county government office without stopping and went straight to see the beautiful woman who had been haunting his dreams. Let's not talk about him for now.

Li Su made his own arrangements and mobilized all the new soldiers of Jiuyuan County and their many family members to secretly dig for any clues of Hun spies lurking in Jiuyuan County. He carefully investigated them one by one according to Lu Bu's instructions, like sifting through a sieve. He made the key targets of investigation all the second-rate people in Jiuyuan County who had no legitimate jobs, especially those who suddenly appeared in brothels, behaved unusually, and suddenly had enough money. After a detailed investigation, he quickly locked in several key suspects and secretly monitored them.

On this day, the city of Jiuyuan was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, the blast of firecrackers, and a grand ceremonial procession, dozens of three-horse carriages, magnificent and imposing carriages, and hundreds of accompanying personnel arrived at Jiuyuan County.

You should know that throughout the Han Dynasty, traveling by carriage was the fashion of the aristocratic society of that era, and there were strict levels and etiquette that had to be followed. Only the emperor's carriage could be driven by six or four horses, and important officials and envoys who accompanied him could also ride in a four-horse carriage; while the empress, the crown prince, the eldest princess, etc. could only drive a three-horse carriage; nobles, princesses, marquises, etc. could only drive a two-horse carriage.

Whether it is a parade or hunting, a certain number of cavalry are required to lead the way, followed by infantry, with drums and noise. The scene is quite spectacular, fully demonstrating the status and power of the people traveling.

Jiuyuan County Government also issued a public notice to reassure the people, saying that the royal family had come to Jiuyuan County to provide disaster relief and comfort the victims of Jiuyuan County. Rumors spread from nowhere, and the people of Jiuyuan County were all saying that the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty had come to Jiuyuan County in person, bringing a large amount of gold, silver, and food supplies to provide relief and comfort to the border on behalf of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, many people in Jiuyuan County were able to see the handsome and handsome Crown Prince in his twenties from different angles.

As a result, the second-rate guys in Jiuyuan County, who had been under close surveillance by Li Su, heard the news and moved, and the Huns' liaisons appeared one after another.

However, Li Su strictly followed Lu Bu's request and just observed and spied secretly without any restrictions or interruptions.

The Xiongnu tribal leader Hubdusai who received the news was the younger brother of the bearded Xiongnu ranger Hubdur mentioned in the previous document. He was also the real culprit behind the murder of Lu Bu's father Lu Liang. He had received secret information from a spy in Jiuyuan County and had suddenly attacked Lu Liang's troops when Jiuyuan County had a relatively empty force, as one thousand soldiers were withdrawn to Wuyuan County for defense. This resulted in Lu Liang's death in battle and Jiuyuan County was almost completely looted.

Hubdul was jealous of his brother for plundering so much wealth and population, so he relied on his advantage of being more powerful than his brother Hubdusai and assembled more than 1,500 tribal cavalry, planning a more brutal attack and looting. However, he did not expect that he would be defeated by Lu Bu's magic weapons at Jiufeng Mountain, and because his entire army was wiped out in an instant, no military information was transmitted back to his tribe.

Although Hubdusai did not have the natural strength and bravery of his brother Hubdur, he was very cunning and had already bribed Han spies to act as his internal support. When he received the news, he thought that Jiuyuan County only had a ceremonial team of only a few hundred people, and less than a thousand new troops, and countless gold and silver treasures and food supplies. So he immediately took action, linked up with several tribal leaders nearby, and gathered more than 5,000 Xiongnu tribal cavalry at lightning speed, and took advantage of the cover of night to kill directly into Jiuyuan County.
