Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was reborn at the beginning to recruit

Chapter 91, collaborating

The Royal Court of the Southern Huns.

The sun rises slowly on a new day, but the palace is filled with tension, as if there is invisible gunpowder smoke above the head.

"Isn't your brother back yet?"

In the camp, Qiangqu Shanyu sat slumped on the seat, as if he had aged ten years in a few days.

He hadn't slept a wink for several days. Through investigation, he learned that the Han envoy had last seen King Xiutu, and when he left, there was an extra box beside him.

What did they talk about?

What's the plan?

He knew the answer without thinking, especially since King Xiutu and his accomplices had not been to the royal court in the past few days, which strengthened his guess.

They want to rebel!

A group of reckless men who only know how to fight and kill, don’t they know the current situation of the Xiongnu?

If he hadn't wanted to damage the Xiongnu's hard-won recovery due to civil strife, he would have dealt with King Xiutu who was about to make a move.

"I have already sent a letter to my second brother. He must have received the letter by now and will be able to rush back to the royal court in a short time." Yu Fuluo also had a solemn expression on his face. Even if his beloved flowers were picked, he didn't care that much.

.

As Jian Yong said, their current strength is not as good as King Xiutu, especially after the other party has received the support of a large number of tribes.

He could still tell the difference between wealth and life and the importance of a woman.

Qiangqu Chanyu murmured: "I'm afraid it's too late..."

"Father!"

"Promise me, no matter what happens next, you must live. No matter how much humiliation you suffer, you must endure it."

Seeing how solemn he was, Yu Fuluo hurriedly said: "I promise you, I will follow the example of King Gou Jian of Yue and be forbearing... Lie on the firewood and taste the courage."

"That's good, that's good..."

Qiangqu Chanyu chanted several times, his face suddenly turned ferocious, he suddenly overturned the table in front of him to the ground, and stood up.

"A bunch of idiots, they are trying to push the Huns into the abyss."

Yu Fuluo couldn't help but persuade: "Father, maybe the situation is not that bad. As long as we hold the royal court and wait for the second brother to lead the army back, King Xiutu will definitely be defeated."

Chanyu Qiangqu took a deep breath to calm down his anger, and then sighed: "I'm afraid those people can't wait any longer. They don't understand my painstaking efforts, and they only act recklessly."

"What I'm more worried about is that the Han envoy may not be that simple!"

Yu Fuluo's face darkened: "What does father mean... is he deliberately instigating King Xiutu's rebellion?"

Qiangqu Shanyu nodded heavily.

This was the worst outcome and what he least expected to see. However, the more carefully he speculated, the closer he felt to the truth.

This man obviously came to ask for help, but he left in a hurry the next day. Immediately afterwards, King Xiutu and others began to make moves.

The most important thing is, why did he give out this so-called "betrothal gift"? Is it really just a casual move?

Or did he reveal the news on purpose?

It's scary to think about it.

Chanyu Qiangqu did not even dare to continue thinking about it, because he was afraid that he would not be able to accept the result. If it was just civil strife, it would only hurt his muscles and bones at most.

But if the Han army joins in and does it intentionally, it may turn into a disaster!

Yu Fuluo said in a deep voice: "We might as well tell King Xiutu the truth, maybe he will put the overall situation first."

Qiangqu Shanyu shook his head without thinking, with a hint of mockery on his face: "Don't say they won't believe it, even if they do, they won't stop."

Ambition drives people forward, and a broken mirror cannot be reunited.

"Report...to the Great Chanyu, King Xiutu united all the ministries to rebel, and now he has led his army to surround the royal court."

Coming!

——

Outside the royal court, King Xiutu gathered all his troops and marched to the city, only to find that the city gate had been closed, as if he had been prepared for it.

King Xiutu saw this and sneered: "Qiangqu, this old fox has a very sensitive nose, and he actually noticed it."

The general said with a worried look: "There are still more than 10,000 defenders in the royal court. We may not be able to attack them for a while. Once the second prince and his army come back, I'm afraid the situation will be unfavorable to us."

Although the troops and horses are the same, the Royal Court's army is obviously more powerful. After all, their troops and horses are pieced together, and their cohesion and coordination are far inferior.

They could only take advantage of the incompleteness of the Royal Court's army and fight with more to gain an advantage.

King Xiutu smiled confidently when he heard this: "It's useless even if Qiangqu notices it. He has sent troops to the Han Dynasty many times over the years and has ruined the lives of my Xiongnu warriors in vain. He has already lost his heart."

"Let's go to the south gate, where I left a hidden gem."

The general's eyes lit up, and he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am very impressed by your clever calculation."

It has to be said that King Xiutu's fighting skills are not very good, and he still has some tricks up his sleeve, although not much.

King Xiutu led his army to the south gate and shouted: "Do you want to watch my great Huns be destroyed at the hands of Qiang Qu?"

As soon as he finished speaking, noisy fighting sounds and screams were heard from the city tower. After a while, the city gate slowly opened.

"We are willing to help King Xiutu replace the national traitor Qiang Qu."

King Xiutu laughed loudly when he heard this, and then waved his hand: "Go in and capture the Qiangqu old man alive. I will use his head to pay tribute to the Shanyus of all generations."

"The general will obey his orders."

Accompanied by shouts of killing, the army led by King Xiutu rushed into the royal court, while the soldiers and horses under Qiangqu's command retreated steadily, and the two sides immediately started fighting in the streets.

At the same time, on the grassland thirty miles away from the royal court, an army was resting in place.

A young man who looked somewhat similar to Qiang Qu was looking in the direction of the royal court, with a hint of sadness between his brows.

This man was clearly Huchuquan who was leading the troops outside. After receiving the news from the royal court, he immediately rushed back day and night.

However, the soldiers were made of flesh and blood after all, and they were already exhausted after traveling so fast that he had no choice but to order them to rest where they were.

At this time, the Ministry will come behind you.

"Second Prince, why did Shanyu suddenly call me back in such a hurry?"

Huchuquan thought for a while and replied: "King Xiutu has been making moves recently and has the intention of treason."

The generals were shocked.

"How dare he!"

"He dares."

Hu Chuquan sighed and continued: "Many people don't understand my father's painstaking efforts, thinking that he is begging for mercy from the Han people, but they don't know that this is a policy of forbearance."

"What I'm really worried about is that after this battle, no matter who wins or loses, the strength that the Xiongnu finally recovered will be seriously damaged."

After hearing this, the general secretly cursed: "King Xiutu, you bastard!"

Huchuquan also showed a hint of hatred.

"I just hope we can arrive in time, otherwise even if we kill him a thousand times, we will not be able to make up for the losses of this turmoil."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a cavalryman covered in blood coming towards him.

"Second Prince, something bad has happened. The traitor responsible for guarding the south gate has opened the city gate. The royal court has been lost!"

Huchuquan's expression changed drastically.

"The whole army sets off immediately."
