The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"Your Highness, are you planning to take action against Anxi?"

"That's right." Ning Quan said coldly, "As long as Anxi is taken, the entire northwest of Daqian will be under my control."

"Then I will destroy the Xiongnu and the Shiwei, and make these foreign tribes disappear from this world forever."

Ning Quan's eyes sparkled.

"Your Highness has a far-sighted vision, and I admire him."

"Since Your Highness has decided to take action, I will start preparing now." Zhuge Liang laughed.

"Yeah." Ning Quan nodded.

.........

Huyan tribe.

In the royal tent.

Huo Qubing sat in the main seat.

Below are the leaders of the Donghu and Huyan tribes.

They all looked sad at the moment.

There was a severe drought in the Central Plains, and the grasslands were of course no exception.

They also experienced drought, with pastures withering and rivers running low.

Although they made some preparations in advance according to Huo Qubing's orders and there was no shortage of food for the time being, the supply of fodder could not keep up.

Cattle and sheep died in large numbers due to lack of food.

"General Huo, there is not enough fodder. We can't go on like this." A tribal leader sighed and said worriedly.

Upon hearing this, the other leaders nodded in agreement.

"What's the big deal? The cattle and sheep died, but the people are fine."

"It's not just you who's suffering from the drought. It's the same across all the tribes on the grassland. At least you're prepared. Other tribes are worse off."

Huo Qubing said coldly.

These words immediately made the other tribal leaders look ugly and unable to refute.

Huo Qubing was right. When a severe drought occurs, everyone suffers the same fate.

"General Huo, we don't have any other intentions."

"It depends on whether you can help us think of a solution to at least guarantee a portion of the cattle and sheep." A tribal leader said embarrassedly.

Upon hearing this, the other tribal leaders also echoed it.

"I don't have the ability to conjure up feed, but I can provide you with some food, including tea and salt." Huo Qubing said lightly.

"That's fine too. Thank you, General Huo."

After hearing this, the tribal leaders breathed a sigh of relief.

They also knew that Huo Qubing couldn't get feed, so what they actually wanted was food.

"General Huo, if the drought breaks out, the other tribes might attack us."

Suddenly, a tribal leader said solemnly.

When the others heard this, they also frowned and became worried.

In years of severe drought, robbing other tribes in order to survive is the norm on the grassland.

"Yes, I know. I have already sent more scouts to the border."

"As long as there is any movement, I will receive the news immediately." Huo Qubing said in a deep voice.

"That's good."

The other tribal leaders nodded and felt much more relaxed.

"You are too happy too soon. The other tribes around here are not a problem. I can handle them all."

"But if Huhanye comes, we will have no choice but to retreat."

"Here's a suggestion for you: kill all the extra cattle and sheep as soon as possible. They'll starve to death if you keep them. It's better to kill them early and use them as food."

"This way, at least a small number of livestock can be preserved, and it will be convenient to transfer them in the future," Huo Qubing reminded.

"Yes, we understand." Everyone nodded.

They all knew that Huo Qubing's suggestion was correct.

Surplus cattle and sheep must be slaughtered, otherwise it would be a waste.

"report!"

Suddenly, a soldier broke into the tent to report.

"Why are you so nervous?" Huo Qubing frowned.

"General, the scouts just reported back that Huhanye personally led an army of 200,000 south and is still 500 miles away from us." The soldier reported hurriedly.

"what?"

Huo Qubing stood up suddenly, with shock in his eyes.

The leaders of other tribes were also frightened.

Huhanye actually led a large army to attack.

They all knew how powerful Huhanye was and that they were no match for him.

"Haha, I just heard that Huhanye would cause trouble for us, but I didn't expect him to really come." Huo Qubing said coldly.

"Everyone, I don't need to tell you what to do next."

"Go back immediately and organize a retreat to Hulan, and then await my next order."

"Yes!"

Several tribal leaders nodded and hurried down to make arrangements.

"General, what should we do?"

After everyone left, a general looked at Huo Qubing and asked.

"Please be patient. I will contact His Highness first to see what arrangements he has made."

"Also, notify the troops to be ready to go at any time."

Huo Qubing said coldly.

"promise!"

The deputy general took the order and left.

After the deputy general left, Huo Qubing took something out of his arms.

This thing is none other than a walkie-talkie.

After Ning Quan drew a walkie-talkie, he immediately sent someone to give one to Huo Qubing so that they could communicate with each other.

Of the remaining four walkie-talkies, one was sent to Changhe, one was with Liu Bowen, one was in Li Jing's hands, and Ning Quan kept the other one for himself.

Huo Qubing adjusted the frequency and began to contact Li Jing.

Soon, the communicator was connected.

"General Huo!" Li Jing's voice came from the opposite side.

"Marshal, we just received intelligence that Huhanye is leading an army of 200,000 southwards," Huo Qubing reported.

"Huh? You're here so soon?"

"Whatever. It's only a matter of time."

"Your 5,000 cavalry are definitely no match for an army of 200,000. Retreat immediately and cover the evacuation of the other two divisions." Li Jing ordered.

"You will finally understand."

Huo Qubing hung up the phone.

……

At the same time, the Huns camped.

Huhanye sat in the main seat with a gloomy look on his face.

The joy of defeating Maodun a few months ago was gone.

The sudden drought caught him off guard.

The Xiongnu people had no habit of farming and relied on grazing for a living. A drought was enough to cause them heavy losses.

In order to keep more of his people alive, Huhanye had to launch a war against Hulan ahead of time, disrupting his plan of recuperation.

He did suffer losses in the battle with Maodun, with more than 50,000 warriors from various tribes killed.

This time, he dispatched 200,000 troops, which was the limit of what he could mobilize.

"Zuo Xian Wang, start speeding up tomorrow and try to reach Hulan within a month."

"Otherwise, our people will starve." Huhanye looked at Zuo Xian Wang and said.

"Yes, Great Han." Zuo Xian Wang nodded in response.

……

Hulun City.

County government lobby.

Upon learning that Huhanye was leading his army to attack, Ning Quan immediately summoned all his ministers to discuss the matter.

However, before he could open his mouth, the intercom on his body suddenly rang.

Ning Quan was stunned for a moment, then turned on the walkie-talkie.

"Your Highness, I have received news that Hassan, the governor of the northern province of the Arab Empire, is leading an army of 100,000, and their target is Changhe."

Xiang Yu's solemn voice came from the intercom.

"The Arabs are here too?"

Ning Quan's pupils suddenly shrank and he said in disbelief.

"Your Highness, from the sound of your voice, do we have other enemies?"

Xiang Yu sensed something was wrong and asked in confusion.

"Yes, they all came together. Huhanye also led an army of 200,000 south."

Ning Quan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Huhanye has also been dispatched?

"Hiss~~" Xiang Yu took a breath of cold air.

"That's right, that's why this is a big trouble."

"Alright, continue to monitor the movements of the Arab army."

"This prince and General Li will inform you later after we have studied the countermeasures."
