The soldier swallowed and shook his head quickly, "No, he hasn't come back yet. He seems to be still at Jiarong Pass."

"But the people throughout Xiliang have heard about the news that the Marquis of Zhenxi has annihilated the Hu army. Now the people in the city are praising the Marquis of Zhenxi."

"General, even the Hu people's troops are no match for the Marquis of Zhenxi. What should we do next?"

Wang Yuan let go of his hand and slumped down in his chair. He looked panicked and muttered, "How is this possible?"

"That was the Tu clan. Even Ying Tianqian had to mobilize all of his Tiger Soldiers to defeat them, and he only dared to repel the Northern Hu people ten miles."

"This, this, this... How did he manage to kill so many Hu soldiers? And he even captured prisoners? Did he wipe out the entire tribe?"

Wang Yuan pounded the table and yelled, "What the hell is going on here! What went wrong?!"

He kept pounding the table, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and his eyes were full of fear.

He could not accept this result no matter what. In his opinion, it was too absurd.

It was indeed unexpected that Ying Xuanze wiped out the bandits in Jubei City, but how could a few bandits compare with the Hu people’s troops?

Not to mention that Ying Xuanze had only more than 10,000 men under his command. Even if each of these 10,000 men was capable of fighting, they could only deal with 20,000 to 30,000 Hu people at most.

But Ying Xuanze killed 60,000 Hu people this time! 10,000 against 60,000, how could he win! ?

Wang Yuan shouted at the soldiers to leave, and he thought alone with his hand covering his forehead.

Could it be that Ying Xuanze had recruited another group of soldiers during these days? But even if so, how could these improvised soldiers fight against the Hu soldiers?

Not long ago, when he followed Lord Cao to the Bemeng grassland, he had seen those Hu soldiers. At that time, he felt palpitations when he saw that each of the Hu people was strong and healthy.

But even these Hu people were defeated by Ying Xuanze.

How did Ying Xuanze do it? Wang Yuan was in a hurry, thinking about this question all the time.

It took only a week from the time Ying Xuanze sent out his troops to the time the battle report was received. In such a short time, he was able to annihilate 60,000 Hu soldiers and capture tens of thousands of them. Is he a human being?

Could it be that his army was made of iron? Without eating or sleeping, they would not feel tired at all?

If this is not the case, the only option is to use the numerical advantage to crush the Hu army.

But this is even more impossible. Even he was afraid of the Hu people. A group of untrained recruits would probably be scared to death when they saw the Hu people, right?

Then, Ying Xuanze could only rely on strategy to defeat the Hu army. After all, many of these Hu people were idiots who only had brute force but no brains.

It is possible that you fall into a trap and get slaughtered.

But how to explain Gao Liucheng? All the soldiers sent by the Hu people were killed? Not a single one was left alive.

How many soldiers did the Marquis of Zhenxi leave in Gaoliu City? Five thousand? Or ten thousand?

The more Wang Yuan thought about it, the more panicked he became, and the temperature of his body dropped little by little.

Now, the Marquis of Zhenxi is not only alive, but he has also destroyed the Tu tribe. Gaoliu City is also intact and the military strength situation is still unclear.

He knew that it was a pipe dream for him to destroy the Ying family by his own strength. To deal with the Ying family, he had to call people from the capital.

Wang Yuan took a deep breath. It wouldn’t be long before General Huang Chan would know about the great victory at Jiarong Pass.

What he is most worried about right now is whether anyone among the captured Hu people will tell Ying Xuanze that he has been to the tribe.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuan's body stiffened, his breathing became heavy, and he leaned weakly on the chair with a blank look in his eyes...

.......

Inside Jiarong Pass, Ying Xuanze put down the cup in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the Hu captive in front of him and smiled faintly:

"Oh? There are Han people coming to look for your Chanyu. It seems that someone wants to kill me!"

"My Lord, that night a Han Chinese entered the tent and talked with the leader, and there were other Han Chinese standing outside the tent."

The Hu man described the facial features of the two Han people. When he talked about the features of the second Han man, Ying Xuanze laughed out loud.

Isn’t this Hu prisoner referring to Wang Yuan?

It seems that the ones who want him dead are Wang Yuan and the people behind him, either Wang or the newly promoted general Huang Chan.

"I have noted down what you said. Follow my men to claim your reward. I will not lose anything I promised you."

The Hu captive was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir!"

A Hu Ben soldier led the Hu people to claim the reward, while Huo Qubing frowned and asked, "My lord, do you know the two Han people he mentioned?"

"I don't know the man who entered the tent. He must be someone from the capital. As for the Han man waiting outside, he is an old friend."

"Wang Yuan, the Lord of Longxi City, is the most powerful local commander in Xiliang."

Ying Xuanze's tone seemed nonchalant, but there was a cold light in his eyes.

"He's just a small pawn, nothing to be afraid of. Our main enemy is still the Pasu tribe in the Duolunna grassland."

Having said that, Ying Xuanze took out paper and pen, wrote a few words on it, and then asked his subordinates to take this secret letter to Gaoliu City.

Ying Xuanze was not sure how long he would stay on the grassland. Gaoliu City still needed Zhang Fei and Zhang Liang to stay, and there was no need for Wang Yuan to stay any longer.

Two days later, Takayanagi Castle.

The soldier who delivered the letter arrived at the military camp and delivered the secret letter to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Fei came over curiously. Zhang Liang glanced at the contents of the letter and then threw it into the stove.

"A letter from my brother? What does it say?" Zhang Fei looked anxious.

"The letter said that the lord will have to stay in the grassland for a while, and there are other tribes in Beihu that need to be dealt with."

"Moreover, the invasion of the Tu clan by the Hu people this time was instigated by others, one of whom was the Lord of Longxi City, Wang Yuan."

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this: "Wang Yuan, is he looking for death?!"

"My lord said that Wang Yuan will not be safe unless he eliminates Gaoliu City, so what we have to do next is to destroy Wang Yuan before my lord returns to Xiliang!"

Zhang Fei nodded heavily: "Military Advisor is right, then when should we start?"

"No hurry. Although Wang Yuan's main force suffered heavy losses in the battle of Jubei City, he still has several times more soldiers than us."

"A reckless attack will only put us in a passive position. There are relatives of the lord in Gaoliu City. We must be cautious."

Zhang Liang pondered for a while, and then laughed out loud after a moment.

"General Zhang Fei, Zifang has a plan, but I'll have to trouble you to run around for the next few days."

"I'm not afraid! Military Advisor, just give me your orders!"

Zhang Liang smiled faintly. Just now, a plan had formed in his mind.

It's time to change the master of Xiliang...
