Gongsun Baoyue was about to leave, when she suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Qiling, looked at her a few times, and sighed in Lu Qiling's inexplicable eyes: "Hey, it's a pity, I should have known it a long time ago." ”

Lu Qiling blinked, but she didn't ask again, she knew that if she asked the woman in front of her who seemed to be crazy and talking to herself, she wouldn't say anything to her.

After resting for a day and a night, the army continued to move forward, and at this time, the senior cadres of the state also sent 30,000 troops to assist when they saw that Yuan Xi had captured Wolf Mountain, and it was not far from Yuan Xi at this time. Han Meng of the four counties of Xianbei was even more powerful, killing all the way to the northwest of the Xiongnu, and now he is also leading the victorious army to join Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi was not in a hurry, at this time, as long as he fought steadily, the Xiongnu would be defeated, and compared with the Central Plains, the grasslands of the Xiongnu could not resist the attack of the Yuan army in any case.

Half a month later, after several wars, the Yuan army attacked and annihilated tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers and horses, and the remaining soldiers of the Xiongnu were cowered in their last place, the Great Khan's tent.

At this time, Gao Gan and Han Meng had also arrived, and Yuan Xi had changed from the original army of 100,000 to more than 200,000 troops at this time, and there was no longer any need to be afraid of the Xiongnu encirclement, and he used iron cavalry to charge.

With the increasing number of soldiers, the transportation of grain and grass became a little difficult, Yuan Xi no longer delayed time, and was preparing to completely annihilate the Xiongnu in one go.

In the big tent of Yuan Jun, Yuan Xi handed over the parchment book of the Xiongnu, handed it to everyone, and said with a smile: "This is also sent by the go, the surrender letter he sent on behalf of Hu Chuquan, you can see how credible it is?" ”

The parchment was passed in the hands of the people, and when they read it, they were all happy on their faces.

Guo Jia said: "Lord, no matter whether this surrender is true or not, our army is pressing, even if the Huns have two hearts, we can easily stop it." ”

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "The military advisor is reasonable, but Hu Chuquan hopes that he can continue to be in charge here, should I or not?" ”

"This?" Guo Jia glanced at Yuan Xi and was speechless.

In the parchment, Hu Chuquan surrendered and naturally made demands, the biggest of which was to hope that he could continue to be in charge of this side, and allow him to keep 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Compared with his current 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers, it is not too much to be an official and keep 10,000 soldiers and horses. But the problem is that Yuan Xi is not willing to give him such a promise, it is okay to give him an official position in name only, and keep 10,000 soldiers and horses for him, which is somewhat of a scourge.

Seeing Yuan Xi's hesitation, Zhang He hugged his fists and said: "Lord, since this Hu Chuquan has surrendered, he is not qualified to talk to us, if he is dissatisfied, our army will kill him, see how he is." ”

Yuan Xi frowned, if he agreed now, or deceived him, this would definitely not be morally good, and his reputation would be somewhat unpleasant. This is not an ordinary thing, and it must be cautious. But if he didn't agree, the Hun soldiers fought to the end, and he had to pay some unnecessary casualties.

Yuan Xi let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he was a little greedy, and he said, "The army continues to advance, and I will give Hu Chuquan a letter of repair." ”

After thinking about it, Yuan Xi still agreed to Hu Chuquan's request, no matter what, first control this person in his hands to speak, once he controls it in his hands, then he doesn't have the final say on what to say in the future?

Just now, when I thought of the question of righteousness, I had a bit of Song Xianggong's meaning, and I drilled the tip of the horns of the dead cow. Obviously, Yuan Xi, who reacted, was not so benevolent.

The army marched quickly, and in a few days arrived at the tent of the king of the Huns, which was not so much a tent as a city.

Most of the king's tents of this steppe people are the same, and it is said to be a king's tent, but it is actually a very large castle. The castle in the distance, how to look, is gray and gray, and the stones are stacked on top of each other, without any decoration, and it looks a little rough.

Yuan Xi led a group of generals to watch from a distance, and Liao Hua was shouting to open the door in front of him.

At this time, there was a thin sun hanging in the sky, and the light was softly sprinkled on everyone, which seemed a little warm. Yuan Xi pestle in front of the crowd, the cold wind of the grassland was blocked by the crowd behind, compared with the previous days, the outside was much warmer.

"I don't think the Huns have any intention of surrendering, right?" Gao Gan rode his horse and stood, and the war horse roared.

Everyone didn't refute his words, because after Yuan Xi replied to the letter, Hu Chuquan never replied to the letter, and now when they arrived, not only did they not greet him, but the door was closed, and it seemed that the situation was a little bad.

"My lord." Liao Hua shouted for a while, then galloped back to the front of the formation, "Lord, they don't surrender, and they scold our army." ”

"But I asked, why didn't you come down?"

"Well, they say that the Han are treacherous, that they want them to surrender and that they want to kill them, so they would rather fight to the death. Died fighting for the last glory of the Huns. ”

Gao Gan said coldly: "If you want to die, you can fulfill them, general, the last general is willing to lead the troops to step here." ”

Yuan Xi frowned and said, "Who said I was going to kill them?" Where did they get this news from? ”

Liao Hua shook his head, "They just keep scolding us for being shameless, I can't stand it anymore before I come back." ”

Yuan Xi looked and saw that the walls of the Xiongnu King City were densely packed with soldiers, which was obviously going to fight an offensive and defensive battle with him.

However, the Hun soldiers guarded the city, which was a bit of a joke, and Yuan Xi seriously doubted that there was something wrong with this Hu Chuquan's brain.

After the surrender came, there was not even a small amount of harassment along the way, Yuan Xi thought that Hu Chuquan had compromised, but he didn't expect to give him this set.

After hesitating for a while, Yuan Xi shouted: "Gao Gan listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"Order you to lead your headquarters to call for battle immediately, and if the enemy army does not surrender, attack the city immediately."

Gao Gan's face was slightly sluggish, "General, I only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it is okay to attack the city, but the soldiers are definitely not enough, but there are nearly 100,000 troops on the other side?" ”

In the battle of attack and defense, there have always been several times more than the defending side. Therefore, although Gao Gan asked for a siege, he was not embarrassed to say such things now.

Yuan Xi said lightly: "Even if you call for a siege, I will send other generals to attack the city from other sides in a while to relieve the pressure for you." ”

Gao Gan's face turned the color of pig liver, but he couldn't say anything, so he answered, and after a while, he led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to slowly press forward.

"Liao Hua, let you lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to surround Beicheng."

"Wow," Liao Hua took the order and left.

"Wang Yi, let you lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to surround Xicheng."

"The last general commands."

As one general order after another was issued, the army behind Yuan Xi began to move slowly.

At this time, the Hun soldiers on the Xiongnu King City were obviously a little unable to stand, and from time to time they exchanged heads, pointed and discussed.
