After listening to Ma Chao's question, the pretty faces of the Hun girls turned red. None of them knew Chinese, and they couldn't understand what Ma Chao was asking, but they had their own judgments. Their tribe has been defeated by the Han army, and according to the rules of the Huns, they are all trophies of these Han troops, and the handsome young man in front of them is the leader of these Han troops. As a chief, he has the right to pick the best women. Although these Hun girls are not the best women in the tribe, they are definitely not bad.

Seeing Ma Chao's mouth full of oil and staring at them with a smile on his face, the hearts of these girls jumped wildly. He's the victor, and now he's well-fed and well-fed, is that the next thing to do? I don't know if he likes one of them, or if he's all four. Oh my God, he wouldn't be so strong, so he wanted the four of them at once.

Ma Chao saw that the faces of these Hun girls were getting redder and redder, and their eyes were getting wider and wider, but no one answered his question, so he remembered that these girls didn't understand Chinese, so he couldn't help laughing and shouted loudly: "Translation, translation." ”

At that time, people attached great importance to the superiority and inferiority of their status, and this interpreter was actually an ordinary soldier in the army, but he only knew the Xiongnu language, so he naturally did not dare to dine in a tent with the general. Fortunately, he was not far away, and when he heard Ma Chao shouting at him, he hurriedly ran into the big tent, and said, "Please give orders to the general." ”

Ma Chao pointed to those Xiongnu girls and said, "Ask them, how far is it from here to the tribe of Yufuluo?" ”

When those girls heard that Ma Chao had just asked about this matter, their little faces turned even redder, but they all had those little regrets in their hearts.

As the so-called difference is a millimeter, it is a thousand miles. Ma Chao and they walked in the direction of the compass, but at the beginning, the guide of the Chiwule tribe only pointed to a rough point, but Ma Chao and they were four or five degrees off, and the heavy snow reduced the visibility, so they passed by Yu Fuluo's camp. That is, these four or five degrees, five days down, let them go over, and they have to walk far, from here to Yuvro for two and a half days.

Ma Chao couldn't help crying and laughing, "Huo" stood up and said loudly: "Hurry, hurry, gather the team and set off immediately!" ”

The frightened Hun men and women in the camp, looking at the Han army gradually moving away, couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers, and actually danced in the middle of the camp. These people originally thought that they would become slaves of the Han people, but they did not expect that these Han soldiers only ate a few cows, a few sheep, and drank a few skin bags of mare's milk wine, and then left. It's good to feel free, so how can they not be happy? Only the four girls who were waiting for Ma Chao in the big tent just now, there was a trace of melancholy in their hearts, they were full of hope to become Ma Chao's slaves, such a harmonious and handsome young man is rare on the grassland, even if he is a slave for a lifetime, they are willing.

This small tribe is attached to Yu Fuluo, and according to Ma Chao's character, he would not let them go so easily. However, this tribe is different from the situation of the Liu Bao tribe, it is so small, so small that there are only sixty or seventy slaves in the entire tribe, and more than half of them are female slaves. Even if these slaves were "freed", they would not be able to control the tribe, and as soon as their men left, the control of the tribe would return to the hands of their original masters. Moreover, there were no other tribes around this tribe that Ma Chao was familiar with, so naturally there was no way to escort them to other tribes. In the case that they could not be massacred, Ma Chao could only reluctantly let them go.

Since this tribe was attached to Yuvro, it should have received an order from Yuvro to assemble, but because of the sudden heavy snowfall, this tribe was too small, and even if the order was delivered, they could dispatch a maximum of 300 people. Because in any case, there must be some young people left in the tribe. Therefore, as soon as Yuvro saw that it was snowing heavily, he directly ignored this small tribe, and at the same time, there were other small tribes like this that were ignored. This also happened often in the course of conquest and raiding in the past, which is the main reason why there were not many slaves in this small tribe, because the slaves in the steppe tribes were mainly obtained through war and raiding.

However, most of the other tribes that were attached to Liu Bao and Yu Fu Luo and had a slight scale had already received the order to assemble, and they braved the wind and snow to arrive at Yu Fu Luo's tribe on time, but Liu Bao's own tribe was still nowhere to be found.

Liu Bao was bent on re-establishing his prestige among the Xiongnu tribes and regaining power over the Xiongnu through this incident, and he was also the initiator and planner of this attack on the Huchuquan tribe. As a result, everyone else came in the bad weather, but his own people refused to show up, which made Liu Bao very angry, which was a very embarrassing thing.

In fact, Liu Bao sent his relatives back as soon as possible, and also brought his own tokens. Those few relatives did not fail in their mission, braved the heavy snow day and night, and rushed back to the tribe's station. As a result, they were surprised to find that their tribe had disappeared out of thin air.

People living on the grassland may not be able to find the location of other tribes, but it is impossible not to find the station of their own tribe, because every winter, they will accurately return to this place to set up camp, Liu Bao's relatives are sure that they are not looking for the wrong place, but there is nothing there, only a thick white snow.

After Ma Chao used the darkness of night as a cover to conquer Liu Bao's tribe, he removed all the people and livestock, as well as the things that set up tents and all the living utensils, and handed them over to the tribe of Hemur, leaving only a few thousand dead bodies and ashes after the bonfire was burned out. However, in the past few days, another heavy snowfall has fallen, and the snow on the flat ground is several feet deep, covering all traces completely.

These relatives did not give up and continued to search around. After all, such a big tribe is not something that everyone can eat, not to mention that there are their wives and children, how can they be relieved if they don't find their whereabouts, and no one thinks of reporting to Liu Bao.

Yu Fuluo didn't really want to hand over the power to command the army to Liu Bao, but he was old and sick, and Liu Bao was still the king of Zuoxian, so he had to hand over the command to him. Now seeing that Liu Bao's own people didn't arrive on time, Yu Fuluo is not only gloating, but also a little lucky.

Even if Liu Bao's men and horses could not arrive on time, their assembled team would reach more than 20,000 people, and if such a large number of people carried out a surprise attack on the tribe of Huchuquan, it would be completely enough. Because Yu Fuluo wanted to come, Hu Chuquan would never dare to gather people to attack his tribe, Hu Chuquan's so-called disadvantage to him must be looking for an opportunity to poison him, he is Shan Yu's identity, Hu Chuquan will definitely not dare to come with himself. Yu Fuluo didn't know that for the sake of profit, even father and son would turn their faces, not to mention that they were just half-brothers, the temptation of the tea franchise was too great, and Hu Chuquan was really ready to raid his camp.

Yu Fuluo is now on guard against Liu Bao. Yu Fuluo knew that Liu Bao had great ambitions, and he really didn't feel at ease about handing over so many people to Liu Bao. Now, Liu Bao's own people have not come here, but Yu Fuluo is relaxed, and even feels much better.

Don't look at the fact that every time a battle on the grassland can gather a large number of men and horses, in fact, these people and horses have their own subordinates, and they all obey their respective leaders, and these leaders are also generals at all levels in the Xiongnu army. As the commander of the three armies, Liu Bao can command them, but he cannot control them. If Liu Bao's own 5,000 men and horses were also among them, he could consume the strength of other tribes by letting the men and horses of other tribes take the lead, and even annex their men and horses after the leaders of other tribes died. But now the situation is different, Liu Bao's men and horses are not here, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, with his few dozen people, he can't control any tribe. Moreover, because his men did not participate in the operation, he could hardly share any spoils after the victory of the operation. In other words, although this battle was commanded by Liu Bao, Liu Bao could not obtain any real benefits.

Yu Fuluo looked at Liu Bao, who was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, smiled, and said: "The soldiers are fast, I think it's better not to wait, if the news leaks and Hu Chuquan is prepared, this battle will not be easy to fight." ”

Liu Bao was unwilling, frowned and said, "Shan Yu, let's wait for two more days, maybe they are already on the way." ”

Yu Fu Luo couldn't wait for his men and horses, how could he give him two more days, his face sank, and said: "That's okay, I'll arrange for other people to lead the army, and you can continue to wait in my tribe." ”

Liu Bao was stunned for a moment, attacking the tribe of Huchuquan was not only a means for him to establish his prestige, but also an opportunity for him to eliminate his competitors. If he didn't take command, and someone else took down the tribe of Huchuquan, the credit would obviously fall to someone else. And the fall of Hu Chu Spring will inevitably bring about a vacancy in the position of the right Xian King of the Xiongnu, and the person who wins the first merit is likely to become the successor of the Right Xian King, so wouldn't it be a second Hu Chu Quan.

If he commands this battle, even if there is no participation of his men and horses, as long as he can win, this merit will naturally be recorded on the head of him, the commander, and who will succeed the right king at that time will have a considerable right to speak, and he will naturally recommend people who are kind to him to go up, leaving a foreshadowing for him to fight for the position of Shan Yu in the future. So, no matter what, he can't give up the command of this battle.

Thinking of this, Liu Bao hurriedly made a big salute, patted his chest vigorously and said, "Okay! Since I just said that, I won't wait, I'll go now! ”
