The royal court and the Hun camp.
Inside the king's tent.
The Chanyu Yufuluo was at the top, and on his left and right sides were his son Liu Bao, the Left Wise King, on one side, and Uleyong, the bravest warrior of the Huns, on the other side.
"Your Majesty, the Han army has reached the Onon River. Leaders of all ethnic groups have requested to fight and take the initiative to attack, so that the Han people will know how powerful the eagles on our grasslands are."
"Please grant your permission, Your Majesty, and blunt their edge."
The one who spoke was Liu Bao, the Left Wise King. He was young and energetic, and as the only son of the Chanyu, he was proud and arrogant. Naturally, he could not stand the Han people's tyranny, so he was the first to request a fight.
Wu Leyong nodded in agreement: "I second your proposal. I am willing to follow the Left Wise King and launch a surprise attack on the Han people to let them know that it is easy to enter the grassland but difficult to leave. Only with their blood can we wash away our murdered people."
Once these two people expressed their opinions, the others followed suit. For a moment, the entire royal tent was filled with murderous intent and high morale for fighting.
But Yu Fuluo did not express his opinion, but looked at the middle-aged man beside him: "Brue, what do you think?"
Brunei was the counselor beside Yufuluo. It was with his help that Yufuluo gradually rose to the position of Chanyu.
However, as the position of Chanyu became more and more stable and Bru's power grew, Yufuluo had to suppress him. But now it was the key to the survival of the Xiongnu, so no matter how wary he was, he had to listen to his opinions.
Blue naturally knew the current situation. His eyes flashed with complex light. He was silent for a long time and said calmly: "I have considered it again and again, and I feel that a sneak attack tonight is meaningless."
"First, the Han army traveled a long distance, and the closer they got to the royal court, the slower their speed became. This proves that they had already made preparations in advance."
"Secondly, more than 100,000 elite Xiongnu soldiers are all in the royal court, and everyone is waiting for the decisive battle tomorrow. Taking action in advance will make people think that we are guilty and that we are no match for them. Being timid before the battle is not the demeanor that an eagle on the grassland should have."
Yu Fuluo was silent for a long time: "What do you think we should do now? Have an honest battle with Huaxia?"
Blue shook his head and said, "I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"We will discuss this before the battle tonight. You can say whatever you want. As long as it is beneficial to the Xiongnu, it will be allowed."
Blue said calmly: "The morale of the Han army is like a rainbow. They have swept across the grassland. Wherever they go, they are unstoppable."
"We don't have much advantage in a head-on battle at this time."
"The terrain in front of the king's court is open, so it is impossible to set up an ambush, which means we have to fight the Han army head-on."
"The commander of the Han army, Zhang He, is at the level of a heavenly general. He can stop thousands of troops by himself. We Xiongnu people cannot compare to him."
"It's better to avoid their attack. As long as we leave the royal court, the grassland is so vast that it is beyond their imagination. These Han people didn't bring much food and grass with them after entering the grassland."
"These people roam the grasslands, and they all rely on our tribes for supplies."
"As long as they can't find a place to get supplies for two months, they will have to leave the grassland. By then, we can win without fighting. Isn't that wonderful?"
"Why do we have to fight head-on and bet everything on the last round?" As soon as these words came out, the whole king's tent exploded.
Liu Bao angrily shouted, "Bruce, what do you mean by that?"
"The Han people are shitting on our heads, are we going to put up with it?"
"How come I didn't know you were a coward?"
"Father, you must not listen to this man's scholarly words. If we were to collapse without a fight, our Xiongnu would be completely defeated. How could those tribes that have fallen and risen with us not have other thoughts?"
"If people lose their morale, not to mention the threat from the Han army, the Wuhuan and Xianbei in the east alone can devour us in one fell swoop."
Wu Leyong's eyes flashed with a fierce look: "What the Zuo Xianwang said is very true. The Heavenly General is not invincible, and he is not unmatched."
As he spoke, the aura that belonged only to a heavenly general emanated from his body. Everyone inside and outside the royal tent, within a radius of dozens of feet, could feel the fierce murderous intent.
Shanyu Yufuluo's eyes sparkled: "You also defeated the Heavenly General?"
Wu Leyong nodded: "A little over a month ago, I had some realizations and broke through to the Heavenly General level."
"So the only advantage the Han people had no longer existed in front of us."
"I am willing to serve as the sword in your hand and kill all the enemies who stand in your way."
"Once we defeat the Han army, we can teach the Wuhuan and Xianbei a lesson in one fell swoop, and let them know how powerful we are."
Yu Fuluo laughed loudly and clapped his hands, saying, "Great, great! Finally, our Xiongnu has a great general. From now on, who on the grassland can be our opponent?"
"Bruce, do you think this battle can be fought now?"
Bulu hesitated for a long time: "General Wuleyong's breakthrough of the Heavenly General is certainly a cause for celebration, and it has greatly increased the overall strength of our Xiongnu, but the Han people have a battle formation method, which is said to be able to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of generals."
"therefore."
This time, before Liu Bao could speak, Yu Fuluo waved his hand and said, "Before, the Xiongnu did not have a general, so we could consider avoiding him, but now..."
"We Xiongnu are not afraid of any challenge. Our peak is coming soon."
"No need to persuade me anymore."
Amid the voices of support, Bruce wisely shut his mouth, but he did not have the slightest confidence in this war, because he accidentally learned about the situation in the south. He knew that there were many talented people in China today. Even if they could hold off the enemy for a while, how could they withstand the revenge that would follow?
Besides, it may not be able to be stopped at this moment.
There was a flash of fierceness and gloom in his eyes, but no one else saw it (End of this chapter)
