Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

The next day, early in the morning.

Ying Xuanze led the main force up a high slope. He looked down at the footprints on the ground, and then frowned.

Before this, he had been marching forward following the retreating footsteps of the Hu people, but when he got here, the Hu troops had a backup plan.

There were two sets of footprints in total, and he couldn't tell which direction the retreating Hu army went.

Faced with the endless grassland, Ying Xuanze was in trouble this time. Even though his subordinates were brave, it would be a headache if they lost their way on the grassland.

"Alas, without the navigation system around, the pursuit is indeed difficult." Ying Xuanze rubbed his forehead.

Historically, Huo Qubing was jokingly called a map navigation operator by later generations, because every time he went deep into the grassland, he could always accurately find the Huns' rear camp.

But now Huo Qubing was not around, and he was afraid that the pursuit would be fruitless, so he had to order his subordinates to rest where they were.

"I don't know what happened to this kid Huo Qubing..." He looked forward with a serious expression, and couldn't help but worry about Huo Qubing.

On the other side, Tu Bilie brought more than 10,000 people back to their camp tribe, and was then shocked by the scene before him and was speechless.

Their camp was in chaos, most of the tents were burned down, and there were many corpses of horses and Hu people on the ground.

Tu Bilie was trembling, and the Hu soldiers were even more anxious because their families were here.

What happened in the end?

Tu Bilie asked the army to help clean up the mess, and he quickly dismounted to look for the Chanyu.

He came to the camp where the Chanyu lived. Because of proper protection, the tents where the Chanyu and the nobles lived were not burned down.

He met Chanyu Tuhanye, but when he saw the gloomy and terrifying face of his own king, he could only stand silently with the other Hu generals.

There were two corpses in front of Tu Hanye, both of them were Hu generals.

One of them was killed by Huo Qubing, and the other was burned to charcoal. If it weren't for the pairs of gold bracelets on his wrists, Tu Bilie wouldn't even have recognized who he was.

"One was shot to death by an arrow, and the other was burned to death..." Tu Hanxie spoke slowly, his tone very cold.

"With an army of 50,000, they couldn't even catch these Han cavalrymen, and they even killed two generals. What a bunch of rubbish!"

Tu Hanxie pointed at several Hu generals and cursed them. He suddenly noticed Tu Bilie and immediately turned his gaze to the latter.

"Tu Bilie? Why are you back?" Tu Hanxie glanced at him and asked, "Where is Hu Biyan?"

Tu Bilie's face changed, and after hesitating for a moment, he said hurriedly: "Reporting to the king, we met the Marquis of Zhenxi at Jiarong Pass."

"But this kid was too cunning, and Hu Biyan was eager to make achievements. He... should have died at the hands of the Marquis of Zhenxi."

Tu Hanxie was immediately furious: "What a bastard! The Marquis of Zhenxi only has 10,000 men, and you and Ku Biyan have 20,000 troops in total. Not only did you fail to defeat him, but you also lost a general in the battle!?"

"If this gets out, how will other tribes view our Tu clan? Wouldn't the Marquis of Zhenxi laugh at us Hu people for being incompetent at Jiarong Pass?"

Tu Hanxie was extremely angry. According to the rules on the grassland, if a general led his troops to defeat, he would have to cut off his head and offer it to the heavens as a sacrifice to atone his sins.

As if sensing the murderous intention, Tu Bilie immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly:

"Report to the king! The 10,000-man army of the Marquis of Zhenxi is extremely powerful, even more powerful than the Tiger Guards of the past!"

"This news has nothing to do with what the Han Chinese said before. We have been deceived!"

"I was indeed defeated because I underestimated the enemy this time, but fundamentally, wasn't it because the information we received at the beginning was wrong?"

"Even so, if it weren't for the cunningness of the Marquis of Zhenxi, I would have been able to defend Jiarong Pass."

"You took Jiarong Pass?" Tu Hanxie was surprised and his tone softened a lot.

"That's right! If it weren't for the underhanded tactics of the Marquis of Zhenxi, even if he was given ten days or half a month, this guy would never have been able to capture Jiarong Pass!"

Tu Bilie breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his life was saved.

Tu Hanxie clenched his fists. Tu Bilie's words reminded him once again.

That Han Chinese named Cao Mengyi really demonstrated the cunning of the Han Chinese to the fullest!

"Last night, the Han people harassed our rear several times, but I found that the number of these Han people was not large. A rough estimate is no more than one or two thousand people." At this time, a Hu general spoke up.

"I think that the Marquis of Zhenxi only has over 10,000 people under his command. Even if they are strong, their numbers are far less than ours."

"I support General Tu Bilie. We only need 40,000 troops to destroy the Marquis of Zhenxi!"

Another Hu general said, "No! If the Han cavalry from last night attacks again, who will protect the Chanyu?"

"General Junyi, if the Han cavalry had the ability last night, would they just set fire to the camp and let the horses go?"

"Although we were in a mess last night, most people were asleep at the beginning. When the Han people attacked later, we didn't gain any advantage. Instead, we shot many of them to death."

"I think we should leave 10,000 troops to protect the Chanyu, and the rest of the troops should follow General Tubilie to annihilate the Marquis of Zhenxi!"

"Once the Marquis of Zhenxi dies, there will be no more threats to the west. And don't forget one thing."

"General Tustan led 10,000 soldiers to Gaoliu City. Given his personality and work style, Gaoliu City must be a dead city now, right?"

"Think about it, if the Marquis of Zhenxi knew that all his relatives died in Gaoliu City, would he be panicked and have no desire to fight?"

After listening to the general's speech, the others all nodded in agreement. The general named Junyi had no other opinions.

Tu Hanxie thought for a moment and then smiled: "Yes, we were attacked yesterday because it was dark and late at night."

"It's broad daylight. If the Han people dare to show their heads, they will be seen clearly by my soldiers. Even if they want to come, I'm afraid they won't dare to come."

"Tu Bilie, I will give you another 40,000 soldiers and horses. You will lead them to Jiarong Pass immediately!"

"This time, we must destroy the Marquis of Zhenxi no matter what! If you lose again, you don't have to come back."

Tu Bilie's face straightened and he said in a deep voice, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, Tu Bilie went to count the troops, and found a total of 50,000 troops, including 30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, who marched towards Jiarong Pass in a mighty manner.

At this moment, on the hillside behind the Hu camp, Huo Qubing quietly poked his head back.

Behind him were the one thousand Zhao cavalrymen, but after several surprise attacks last night, there were only about nine hundred of them left.

The Hu people all thought that they would not dare to attack again, but Huo Qubing did not think so.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. These Hu people could never have imagined that Huo Qubing dared to hide here with less than a thousand cavalrymen.

At this time, the Zhao cavalrymen were chewing coarse grains and feeding the horses. Each of their eyes was bloodshot, but their eyes were firm.

In order to completely annihilate the Hu people here, they stayed up all night...
