#281 - Tadun
This scene frightened Zhang Ju so much that he almost collapsed on the ground, and several Han people close to the Wuhuan village leaders were almost killed on the spot.
Seeing this, Zhang Chun subconsciously drew out the sword at his waist to protect himself, and shouted loudly with a pale face.
“Lord Qiuliju, don’t you know this is Liu Yu’s divisive tactic?”
Qiuliju, who had tacitly allowed his subordinates to vent their anger in this way, suddenly reacted and hurriedly stood in front of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, shouting.
“Wait!”
Even so, the originally cheerful tent was already covered in blood.
The confidants brought by Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun were all dismembered, and only Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, who were protected by Qiuliju, were temporarily safe.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to catch his breath, Zhang Chun hurriedly tried his best to explain.
“Lord Qiuliju, these Wuhuan teenagers were all deliberately sent back by the Han army. If this matter had anything to do with me, how could I be here in the Wuhuan camp at this moment?”
At this moment, Qiuliju, who had gradually calmed down, also realized that he might have killed the wrong people.
Initially, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun had taken the initiative to collude with Qiuliju, and according to what Qiuliju knew, Zhang Ju had even secretly prepared the imperial robes and crown.
In addition, the Han Dynasty is now fighting against the Xiqiang and has difficulty freeing up energy, so it is impossible to actively provoke a war in Youzhou.
“I almost misunderstood Lord Zhang Ju and Lord Zhang Chun. The Han people are cunning and treacherous, and I almost fell for their divisive tactics.”
Qiuliju squeezed out a smile on his face with difficulty, but he had no intention of apologizing at all. Instead, he asked with a沉着 face.
“It’s just that the two adults said with certainty that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are at odds, and that Youzhou currently has only 10,000 usable cavalry at most. Where did the 30,000 cavalry come from?”
“This… this… I don’t know either.”
Zhang Chun stammered for a long time, completely unaware of what was going on.
Among the three states adjacent to Youzhou, Bingzhou has suffered from Xianbei plundering, Jizhou has repeatedly suffered from natural disasters, plagues, and the disasters of war, and has not yet recovered its vitality, and Qingzhou has once again experienced the Yellow Turban rebellion.
It was only after confirming through various sources of information that it was impossible for other parts of the Han Dynasty to have surplus troops to support Youzhou that Zhang Chun was so sure that he raised the flag of rebellion and led the Wuhuan into the pass.
Qiuliju frowned upon hearing this.
Qiuliju did not suspect that Zhang Chun was lying, but secretly hated that Zhang Chun was indeed a waste, and he didn't even know the troop strength of Youzhou.
It's just that the current Wuhuan do not have the ability to occupy and rule Han territory. Furthermore, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun can continuously provide the Wuhuan with various needed supplies. Otherwise, Qiuliju would really want to take the opportunity to kill these two.
“It seems that the Han dogs are cunning and secretly hid some troops.”
Qiuliju smoothed things over for Zhang Chun in this way, and then used his eyes to intimidate those village leaders who were still agitated to return to their positions.
However, for the many village leaders in the Yuyang Commandery headquarters, the massacre of the settlements undoubtedly meant that the families of the entire tribe, from top to bottom, were all killed.
Therefore, facing the surging village leaders, Qiuliju's scimitar slammed into the corner of the table, and then he said loudly.
“Now that things have come to this, is it useful to just vent our anger on our allies?”
“I swear in the name of the White Wolf that I will definitely flay those Han dogs who attacked the Wuhuan settlements to avenge this hatred, and I will also give a large amount of money, food, and slaves as compensation to the village leaders who have suffered losses.”
“As long as there are enough Han female slaves, do we need to worry about the tribe being cut off?”
After this series of words, the noisy village leaders finally quieted down and retreated to their respective positions with satisfaction.
It's just that the village leaders of Yuyang Commandery have been temporarily appeased, but Qiuliju understands that the real problem has not been solved. The 30,000 Han cavalrymen, as confirmed by many Wuhuan settlement teenagers, are heading towards the direction of Youbeiping Commandery.
And Wuyan, who leads the many Wuhuan settlements in Youbeiping Commandery and calls himself "Khan Lu Wang", couldn't wait to say.
“Qiuliju, now that group of Han dogs are heading towards Youbeiping Commandery, we must send troops to intercept and annihilate them as soon as possible. Otherwise, let alone my Youbeiping Commandery, don't forget that east of Youbeiping Commandery is your Liaoxi Commandery.”
Qiuliju said without hesitation.
“You don’t need to tell me. Even if it’s to avenge the women and children who died tragically at the hands of those Han dogs, we must make that group of Han dogs pay the corresponding price.”
Since moving into Han territory, the Wuhuan tribe no longer has leaders like the "Chanyu". Instead, the Wuhuan settlements in each commandery elect a Wuhuan adult as their leader.
Qiuliju calls himself "Wuhuan King", but in essence, he is just a Wuhuan adult of the Wuhuan settlement in Liaoxi Commandery.
Now, he is recommended as the leader by many Wuhuan people entirely because Qiuliju promoted this looting of Han territory, and many Wuhuan people have won a lot of support because of their overflowing wealth.
Therefore, even if Qiuliju has some doubts that the Han cavalry who attacked and swept many Wuhuan settlements are a trick, in order to maintain this Wuhuan alliance and ensure his reputation and status, he must take countermeasures.
Otherwise, the hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan alliance troops gathered under Yuyang City will collapse in an instant.
Divide the troops, and divide a large number of troops to encircle and suppress that Han cavalry. This is Qiuliju's only choice.
However, Qiuliju noticed the look of excitement revealed in the eyes of many Wuhuan adults, and he was in a dilemma, understanding that once he handed over the army to the Wuhuan adults who were second only to him in power and prestige, it would likely affect his position as the Wuhuan leader.
But besides those Wuhuan adults, who else can lead the army to conquer that Han cavalry?
Suddenly, Qiuliju's heart moved, and he looked at his cousin Tadun, who had been sitting in the corner of the tent, was burly, and had not spoken rashly.
“Tadun!”
Qiuliju suddenly shouted.
And Tadun seemed to be prepared for it, and walked out without stage fright, responding heroically.
“Uncle, Tadun is here!”
Qiuliju ordered loudly. “You have always been brave and often read Han military books, and you are also my eldest son. This time, you will lead an army of 80,000 to encircle and suppress that Han cavalry.”
“Yes!”
Tadun calmly accepted the order, but his heart was filled with ecstasy, understanding that this would be his best opportunity.
As Qiuliju's cousin, Tadun is not the eldest son. If it were not for Qiuliju's嫡 son being young, this time, no matter what, he would not have handed over the military power to Tadun.
As long as he firmly grasps the military power, even if Qiuliju intends to pass the position to his younger brother in the future, Tadun will make Qiuliju understand who should be the king of Wuhuan.
With the discipline of the Wuhuan people, there is obviously not much awareness of secrecy.
Or rather, Qiuliju originally intended to use this to arouse the anger of the Wuhuan people. Therefore, as the news spread that all the Wuhuan settlements in the northern part of Yuyang Commandery were massacred, a large number of Wuhuan people were undoubtedly shocked and angry.
Especially those Wuhuan people whose families were in Youbeiping Commandery and Liaoxi Commandery had the feeling that the Han people's swords were already across their necks.
Therefore, even if a few Wuhuan adults with different ideas wanted to create obstacles for Tadun, Qiuliju and Tadun still easily completed the division of troops, leading a large number of Wuhuan cavalry who had already settled on the border of Han territory and began to rush towards the direction of Youbeiping Commandery.
The Wuhuan people who remained under Yuyang City were mostly Wuhuan people who had come from other commanderies or from the grasslands, and did not care much about the Han cavalry massacring the Wuhuan settlements.
In addition, there were still a steady stream of Wuhuan people gathering towards Yuyang City.
Therefore, even after dividing 80,000 troops, Qiuliju carefully counted the troops and found that he still had as many as 80,000 troops under his command.
After learning about the Han cavalry, Qiuliju did not have the intention to delay any longer.
With the help of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's hidden agents in Yuyang City, they directly captured Yuyang City in less than three days.
After looting Yuyang City, Qiuliju directly led the Wuhuan army south and headed straight for Jicheng.
When Liu Yu and Li Ji in Jicheng received the news from the scouts that Yuyang City had been captured, in less than two days, 80,000 Wuhuan cavalry, like a black tide, surged from a distance towards Jicheng.
This was the first time Li Ji had seen such a large-scale cavalry, and even though he had been prepared for it, he was still deeply shocked by it.
The momentum of 80,000 cavalry surging was so great that even the earth seemed to be trembling.
These Wuhuan cavalry may not have any formation in their march, and the whole is just a chaotic mass, but it is precisely because of this that 80,000 Wuhuan cavalry seem to be overwhelmingly amazing.
This is still after more than half of the Wuhuan cavalry were divided away. Otherwise, how amazing and terrifying would 160,000 Wuhuan cavalry be?
If Li Ji could maintain basic calmness, then Liu Yu was obviously so frightened that his face turned pale, and he seemed to be tottering and unable to stand firm.
“Without city walls, how can we stop such cavalry?”
Liu Yu murmured, seemingly frightened to the point of losing his spirit.
Seeing this, Li Ji, seeing that the civil and military officials protecting Liu Yu were also frightened, had no choice but to take the initiative to appease him.
“Wuhuan is just a clown jumping back and forth in the cracks. Lord Liu, don’t worry.”
This sentence undoubtedly made Liu Yu barely stabilize his mind.
In any case, Liu Yu, an old man, has also been proud and proud of the Han Dynasty all his life.
Compared with the size of the Han Dynasty, Wuhuan is just a Hu tribe that exists by relying on the protection of the Han Dynasty.
Immediately after, Liu Yu lightly coughed, seemingly explaining casually.
“It's just that this old man is too old to stand for long, and was momentarily dazed by the sun. I've made you laugh, Mr. Zikun.”
“The midday sun is indeed fierce. Why doesn't Governor Liu go down and rest first? I, Ji, can take charge here. What do you think?” Li Ji asked.
