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

"General Huo, you're too polite. This is what I should do."

"But...what's going on with them?"

Xiang Yu pointed at the Hun soldiers following Huo Qubing and asked in confusion.

"Haha, General Xiang, you don't know that the Donghu tribe has now surrendered to Hulan. They are all soldiers recruited from various Donghu tribes."

Hearing this, Huo Qubing explained with a smile.

"what?"

Xiang Yu was shocked when he heard what Huo Qubing said.

He didn't expect this to happen. Huo Qubing actually conquered the Donghu tribe.

But the facts before him told him that all this was true.

"I see."

"General Huo, General Lu, you two are truly talented. I admire you!"

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Yu exclaimed sincerely.

"Hahaha, General Xiang, thank you for your praise. We are just lucky."

"Now that the Donghu threat has been resolved, General Xiang, let us return together."

Huo Qubing waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go back together!"

Xiang Yu nodded.

Soon, the two armies joined together and set out on their return journey together.

At the same time, Xiang Yu also sent scouts to return to Hulan to report.

At this time, in Hulun City, Ning Quanzheng and Man Chong were standing on the city wall, studying the layout of the new city.

The original plan for the new city had been finalized, but this morning Man Chong put forward a new suggestion, proposing to build two acropolises on the east and west sides of Hulun City.

According to Man Chong, one of the two Acropolis was used to station troops and the other to imprison slaves.

The reason is very simple. The barracks were originally set up in the city. Because of the large number of people, the barracks occupied a quarter of Hulun city.

Building a special Acropolis for garrisoning troops would free up more space.

If another Acropolis was built specifically for imprisoning slaves, the Hun camp would be vacated.

According to Man Chong's idea, the vacant Xiongnu camp could be converted into a horse farm.

Hulun currently has more than 10,000 war horses, and so many horses must be properly placed.

"Master Man, your idea is good, but we don't have enough manpower to build two more acropolises at the same time."

After listening to Man Chong's story, Ning Quan asked.

Building two new Acropolises is certainly a good thing, but I am worried that there will not be enough manpower.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. As long as we deploy them properly, we will have enough manpower!"

Man Chong said confidently.

"Well, in that case, let's do as you say!"

Ning Quan has great faith in Man Chong's abilities.

"promise!"

Man Chong immediately accepted the order.

"Your Highness, good news! Good news......."

At this moment, Li Jing hurriedly ran up the city wall and shouted loudly.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Ning Quan was surprised to see Li Jing's anxious look.

Li Jing has always been steady and has never looked like this before.

"Your Highness, the scouts just reported that General Huo has returned with a great victory, and the Donghu tribe has surrendered to Hulan!"

Li Jing said excitedly.

"what?"

"Dong Hu surrendered?"

Ning Quan was stunned, and then overjoyed.

“That’s great! That’s great! Hahahaha…”

"General Huo is truly a natural born leader, well done!"

After a moment, Ning Quan laughed out loud.

He could never have imagined that Huo Qubing would conquer the Donghu so quickly and subdue them.

This is such a great joy.

"General Huo is indeed very capable, and I admire him greatly."

"Your Highness, the army will return in about two hours."

"In addition, General Huo also brought back 5,000 Donghu soldiers."

Li Jing continued.

"What, five thousand Donghu soldiers?"

"Hahaha, this is another good news."

Ning Quan laughed again.

Five thousand Donghu soldiers are not a small number.

Their joining will certainly further strengthen Hulan's strength. How can Ning Quan not be happy?

"Your Highness, I suggest that these 5,000 Donghu soldiers should not be brought back to Hulan!"

Suddenly, Li Jing said solemnly.

"Why?"

Ning Quan asked in surprise, not understanding what Li Jing meant.

"Your Highness, no one is aware of the Donghu's surrender to us, and the same is true for the five thousand Donghu soldiers."

"We can continue to conceal this news and use the 5,000 Donghu soldiers as a surprise force."

Li Jing explained.

"I understand what you mean, it's a good idea."

After hearing Li Jing's words, Ning Quan's eyes flashed and he nodded.

"Then send an order immediately. There is no need to bring the five thousand Donghu soldiers back to Hulan. Find a suitable place to house them temporarily."

Then Ning Quan gave the order.

"Yes, Your Highness, I obey your command!"

Li Jing clasped his fists and accepted the order.

...........

Two hours later, Huo Qubing led his army back to Hulan City.

Ning Quan personally welcomed him at the city gate.

"This general pays homage to His Highness!"

Seeing Ning Quan, Huo Qubing, Lu Bu and Xiang Yu, they immediately dismounted and bowed.

"Okay, okay, everyone stand up."

After Ning Quan helped the three people up, his face was full of smiles.

"General Huo, General Lu, you two have made great contributions to the Donghu's surrender."

"Your Highness, I dare not take credit for it."

Upon hearing this, Huo Qubing and Lu Bu hurriedly said.

"Haha, no need to be modest, this is the truth."

"General Xiang has worked hard, stationed outside all the time."

Ning Quan looked at Xiang Yu on the side and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. I am deeply ashamed to accept it!"

Xiang Yu also hurriedly saluted.

"Okay, don't be polite, let's talk in the city."

Then Ning Quan spoke.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Soon, everyone entered the city.

After returning to the county government office, everyone exchanged greetings again.

Afterwards, Huo Qubing gave a complete account of the battle against the Donghu and the process of their surrender.

"General Huo is indeed a famous general. I admire him immensely!"

After listening to Huo Qubing's story, Ning Quan sighed.

The famous general is indeed extraordinary. No wonder he was able to conquer the Wolf and Lair. This is his real ability.

"Your Highness is too kind. Huo Qubing was simply doing his duty!"

Hearing Ning Quan's praise, Huo Qubing hurriedly said.

"Haha, General Huo, you're too polite!"

"General Huo, where are the 5,000 Donghu soldiers currently stationed?"

Ning Quan asked with a smile.

"Your Highness, I will temporarily place them fifty miles west of the city. There is a valley there that is perfect for hiding!"

"But they don't have any baggage with them, so they can't set up camp. Therefore, we must send food and supplies as soon as possible."

"Also, although they have surrendered, they still need to be cautious to avoid any accidents."

"For this reason, I believe we should send a general to lead the charge, so that we can be assured."

Huo Qubing said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, I am willing to take on this mission!"

At this time, Lu Bu on the side volunteered.

"Well, General Lu is loyal, brave, and upright, and he's also quite familiar with them. This is the best."

Ning Quan smiled and nodded.

Lu Bu is also good at cavalry combat, and there is absolutely no problem for him to command the Donghu cavalry.

"I will obey your orders!"

Lu Bu accepted the order.
