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

Although Hulan County had heavy cavalry, which made him very wary, their number was limited after all and was not something to be feared.

Maodun was the real threat. He was the Chanyu of the Eastern Xiongnu and had hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops behind him.

If defeated, the Western Xiongnu would surely perish, so he had to get rid of Maodun first.

"Chanyu, I am willing to accept my punishment and follow you into battle."

Hearing this, Huhanqi knelt down and begged.

"You can't go. The royal court needs you to stay after I go to war."

As soon as Huhanqi's words came out, he was immediately rejected by the Chanyu.

Although Huhanqi was defeated, his fate was understandable.

The key is that he is his own brother. Only by handing over the royal court to him can Huhanye go to war with peace of mind.

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Hearing this, Huhanqi no longer insisted and immediately accepted the order.

He understood the Chanyu's thoughts and knew that he needed to be in charge of the royal court.

.......

At the same time, in the Donghu tribe.

Several remaining tribal leaders are gathering together to discuss how to resist the invasion of Han cavalry.

In recent days, the Han cavalry has plowed almost the entire Donghu, causing heavy losses to the Donghu tribes and putting them in imminent danger of extinction.

The tribal leaders did not fail to resist. They gathered all the remaining warriors from each tribe and prepared to fight a decisive battle with the Han cavalry.

But the Han generals were so cunning that they didn't give them any chance to fight head-on.

Every time we encounter each other, we evacuate quickly.

In this case, even a decisive battle is impossible.

Therefore, they could only watch as the Han cavalry slaughtered people wantonly on the grassland.

"The Han people are bullying us too much. We can't let this go on."

A tribal leader said angrily.

"Three thousand members of my Shuangdi clan were killed by the Han people. I will not rest until this vengeance has been avenged."

The leader of the Shuangdi tribe said with a ferocious look on his face.

"Who doesn't want revenge? It sounds nice, but how do you do it?"

"They won't confront us head-on?"

"As soon as we show up, they turn and run, and we can't catch up."

Another tribal leader shook his head.

"Damn Han generals, I've never seen such cunning people!"

.......

The leaders of each tribe cursed angrily.

"It's useless to say this now. Let's think about what to do next."

"Otherwise, wait for your clan to be exterminated."

At this time, Ager, the leader of the Shanrong tribe, said.

"Ager is right. We must come up with a plan."

Another person echoed.

"But what can we do?"

"If this continues, within half a month, we will have to abandon our territory and retreat west or east."

"That's impossible. To the west is the Qiulin tribe, and to the east is the Huyan tribe. They are all our enemies."

"If we enter their territory, they will definitely kill us."

"With so few of us left, we are no match for them. The only outcome is that we will be swallowed up by them."

"Then what should I do? Should I wait for death?"

Everyone was talking about it, but they were helpless and had no idea what to do.

"Report to the leader, there are Han people outside the camp seeking to see you."

At this moment, a soldier walked quickly into the tent and reported.

"Han people want to see you? What do they want?"

A tribal leader asked.

"I didn't know there were over twenty of us here, and we specifically wanted to see the leaders."

The soldier said respectfully.

"Oh, you actually dare to ask for a meeting?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the tribal leaders changed and their eyes flickered.

"Since the Han people want to see us, let's go meet them together."

After a moment of hesitation, Ager, the leader of the Shanrong tribe, said.

"Okay, let's go out and take a look."

The other tribal leaders nodded in agreement.

Then everyone left the tent and came outside the formation.

There were more than twenty people standing in the open area ahead, with two military generals leading the group.

The two men were imposing and dressed in armor, emitting a cold aura that was frightening.

"Who are you? Tell me your names?"

A tribal leader shouted in a deep voice.

"I am Huo Qubing, a general under the command of the Ninth Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, and this is General Lu Bu."

Huo Qubing said proudly.

"Humph, of course I know you are Han generals. What are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Ager said coldly.

He was deeply impressed by Huo Qubing and Lu Bu.

If he hadn't run fast a few days ago, he would have been killed by the two men.

"I have come here today to persuade you to surrender. As long as you submit to our Highness, the Donghu will be spared from slaughter."

Huo Qubing said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar all around.

"Bullshit! You want to conquer us Donghu people? Dream on! Unless you flatten this place."

"Hahaha, conquering us is a joke. How could our Shanrong warriors submit to the Han people?

"You want us to surrender? No way."

.......

Immediately, the leaders of each tribe cursed angrily.

“Oh, really?”

"Hahaha, then just wait for your clan to be exterminated."

Upon hearing this, Huo Qubing burst into laughter.

The decision to let the Donghu surrender was purely a spur-of-the-moment decision by Huo Qubing.

The main reason was that the Donghu had been almost wiped out and were no longer a threat.

If they were completely destroyed, other tribes would inevitably annex the Donghu and occupy their territory.

In this way, Hulan will encounter new enemies.

Therefore, it is better to persuade them to surrender, so that there will be a buffer zone.

As for whether it would succeed or not, Huo Qubing actually didn't care much.

If they succeed, that's a good thing. If they fail, that doesn't matter either. At worst, we can just kill them all and be done with it.

"Bullshit, why would we Donghu be afraid of you?"

"If you want to destroy us, then try it."

.....

The leaders of each tribe were still shouting and cursing at this moment.

"Okay, stop arguing."

Agger suddenly stopped him.

"Han people, how do you plan to make us submit?"

Then, Agger stared at Huo Qubing with a gloomy look and asked.

The other tribal leaders also stopped making noise and looked at Huo Qubing.

Although they appear tough on the surface, they are actually panicking inside and each has their own ideas.

The various tribes were severely weakened, and surrendering to the Han people was a way out, otherwise they would be exterminated.

"It's simple. From now on, obey Hulan's orders."

"Each tribe will send 500 elite soldiers to join our Hulan army."

"In addition, we will provide 100,000 cattle and sheep and 5,000 war horses every year."

Huo Qubing said lightly.

"Hi~!"

After hearing Huo Qubing's conditions, the tribal leaders gasped.

These conditions were so harsh that they could not possibly accept them.

What will they eat and drink if they hand over so many war horses, cattle and sheep?

Not to mention providing soldiers.

They would rather die in battle than accept it.

But they had no choice.

"Why, you don't agree?"

Seeing the tribal leaders hesitate, Huo Qubing's face changed.

"What will we gain if we agree?"

Agger continued to ask.
