Liu Hong and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs were nervously busy, and Duan Cheng, who received the news from the flying pigeon, also began to be busy. After Liu Hong returned to the dynasty victoriously, he took a part of the army and stayed on the occupied land to be responsible for sweeping the tail. Now that this task is about to be completed, he will soon return to the court. Unexpectedly, at this time, Liu Hong actually asked him to lead troops to destroy the Huns.

At this time, Duan Cheng was overjoyed. Destroying the Huns, for him with an army of 100,000, is just a piggyback, and it doesn't take much effort. But even if it doesn't take much effort, his head will be real, and there will be a great achievement of extermination.

To be honest, to the point where Duan Cheng has not taken credit, he has already taken it very lightly. After all, he has now reached the top level that a military general can reach. No matter how much credit there is, it is just to help him exchange some property, and it is not very useful.

However, although the credit is useless, it is definitely the highest glory to be a military general to destroy a foreign clan and successfully cut off the threat of the Han Dynasty. No military general will miss the opportunity to get such an honor. Not to mention, in his opinion, who had never seen the world map, there were only a few enemies left in the vicinity of the Great Han, and one less to destroy. Of course, he wanted to get as many honors as possible.

Duan Cheng gathered his army and began to march towards the Hetao area. At this time, Yu Yiling, the former commander of the Xiongnu, was chased away, and he also received a report from the spies he sent to the Han Dynasty.

"The Xiongnu's new Dan Yu Huwei angered the Han, not only was he killed by the Han, but also made the Han Dynasty emperor angry with the Xiongnu, and now he has sent troops to exterminate them."

Hearing the news, Yiling was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground on the spot. He regrets it now, don't mention it. Knowing that Huwei hated the big man, he was even fascinated. Give him the position of Shan Yu and let him lead the team to Dahan. It's good now, not only was Huwei slaughtered by the Han, but also brought destruction to the Huns.

But it's not enough to be afraid, you have to think of an idea as soon as possible. Therefore, Yiling immediately summoned the princes and kings of the Xiongnu to discuss how to deal with this crisis.

But since Emperor Wu defeated the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu have hardly raised their heads in front of the Han Dynasty. These princes and kings, after hearing that the Great Han sent troops to destroy them. That performance is not much stronger than the corpse chase of Yiling.

Looking at this group of chaotic princes and kings, Yiling sighed for a while, and said helplessly: "Since the sky is going to kill our Huns, then when the Han army comes, we will surrender directly." ”

"yes. Shan Yu is so right. We, the Huns, now have only one way to surrender. "After listening to the words of Yiling's corpse. The pro-Han faction's right sage Wang Qiangqu hurriedly expressed his position. "Let's think about it, even Xianbei, the overlord on the grassland, was wiped out by the Han Dynasty. How can we, the Huns, be the opponent of the Han Dynasty. Rather than lose everything after defeat, we should surrender as soon as possible and keep our glory and wealth. ”

"Surrender. Will you be able to keep your glory and wealth? You must know that our Xiongnu have already annoyed the emperor of the Han Dynasty, what if their Han Dynasty is unwilling to give us wealth and wealth? Yiling's son, Zuo Xian King Tu Teruo's corpse, asked with some suspicion.

"Yes, if we surrender to the Great Han. We are lambs to the slaughter. How can the Han give us glory and wealth? At this time, those who were hostile to the Great Han said: "We can only fight with the Great Han now, although we can't fight the Great Han ourselves, but we can unite with other people." Like the Northern Huns, they and we used to be a family after all, as long as we ask for it, they will definitely help us. There are other tribes that have been summoned by the Great Han, and the Great Han will never let them go, they are all the objects of our alliance. ”

"Hostile to the Han can only be a dead end, or surrender to the Han, so that we can benefit." Qiang Qu said: "With the strength of the Great Han, it is absolutely easy to destroy the other tribes on the grassland. But why didn't the Han do this, isn't it because the Han is a peace-loving nation? As long as we are sincerely obedient, the Han will never hesitate to reward us. ”

"If the Han had loved peace, he would not have conquered us. So surrender to the Han, and sooner or later we will be destroyed by the Han. Only by jointly fighting against the Han is our real way out. ”

"The hostile Han can only be a dead end, and if you do this, you will completely exterminate our Huns!"

These princes and kings of the Xiongnu were directly divided into two factions, one faction wanted to surrender, and the other faction wanted to unite to resist the enemy, and none of them could convince anyone. And looking at the messy two factions of people, Yiling's corpse was chased, so it was even more unthinkable.

The Xiongnu kept arguing there, and Duan Cheng had already accelerated his march, wanting to rush to the Hetao area as soon as possible and completely exterminate the Xiongnu.

As Duan Cheng's army got closer and closer, the Southern Xiongnu were directly divided. The pro-Han faction of Youxian Wang Qiangqu and them could not convince those who were hostile to the Han people, so they could only decide to take their own tribe and surrender to the Han Dynasty. And those Xiongnu who want to fight have already sent envoys to unite other forces and tribes. I want to give Dahan a head-on blow when Dahan arrives.

In this way, Duan Cheng is still on the road, and more than half of the Huns have been successfully taken by him. For their messenger of Qiangqu had already taken the letter of surrender and stood before him.

"Nima's, the right part of the Huns actually surrendered." Looking at the book in his hand, Duan Cheng was quite unwilling. "Made, I can't let you go easily even if I surrender."

Duan Cheng, who had made up his mind, said: "It's a good thing that King Youxian wants to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. But among you Huns, there are still a large number of Han forces that are hostile to us. For our safety, it is impossible to accept you so easily. After all, we can't tell if you mean it or if you're using some tactics for us. ”

At this moment, the messenger was anxious and said: "My lord, we are really taking refuge in the Han, how can you trust us, please make it clear, we will definitely find a way to prove it." ”

"That's a good proof." Duan Cheng said: "As long as you take down those forces that are hostile to our Han Dynasty, you can prove your sincerity." ”

When Qiang Qu heard the report, he was really in a hurry. If he wanted to surrender, the big men didn't accept it, and they had to clean up those hostile forces first to show their loyalty, and he realized that this time their Huns were really finished. If it weren't for the character of the big man, if there is a surrender, it must be accepted first. Now that people don't accept them, they must want to clean them up together.

Going against the Han is a dead end, and this is something that Qiangqu has long decided. Therefore, he wanted to prove his sincerity to Dahan immediately, so as to throw himself into the arms of Dahan. But it's not an easy thing to prove. Although the power of their capitulation faction is greater than that of the hostile faction, their advantage is also very limited. It is absolutely impossible to destroy those hostile factions without going through a big war.

What to do? Qiangqu is really embarrassed now. If he couldn't prove his sincerity to Dahan, Duan Cheng would definitely clean up with him. But he wants to prove his sincerity to the Great Han, and he has no absolute chance of winning, in case he fails. Before the big man came, he was cleaned up by those hostile factions.

"Nima's fight, dealing with the hostile faction, is more sure than dealing with the big Han." After some trade-offs, Qiang Qu made up his mind. That night, a surprise attack was launched against the hostile factions.

Since the two sides have been divided, how can those hostile factions not guard against them. Moreover, they also planted a large number of spies in Qiangqu's team, so Qiangqu's sneak attack was not much different from the Ming attack. In this way, before the Han army arrived, their Huns themselves had already fought first.

"It's really a fight!" Hearing the spies' report, Duan Cheng was really a little surprised.

He really didn't expect that Qiangqu's desire to take refuge in Dahan was so heavy. For this reason, they did not hesitate to go to war against their fellow people to show their sincerity. However, since there are people fighting for him, Duan Cheng is also happy to see it. So he immediately ordered to go down and let the army go slowly, preferably after the Huns had decided the victory, they would arrive. In that way, his army would receive the fruits of victory without casualties.

Duan Cheng and the others slowed down, but Qiangqu and they really fought hard. It's all from one tribe, and no one knows who. In the case of knowing the roots, if you want to divide the winner and loser, it is only a battle to the death.

Looking at the clansmen who were fighting together, Yiling's corpse was single, and he wanted to cry without tears. First, it was a wrong decision by him that led the Xiongnu to a dead end. Then, because he couldn't make up his mind, the Xiongnu were divided, and the war became a mess. He is now desperately trying to separate those clansmen, but the clansmen who have already killed the red eye, where can they listen to his orders from Shan Yu, who has abdicated, so how they fight, how to fight.

This war is really a killing day, and the sun and the moon are dark. directly let this huge Hetao area flow into a river of blood. By the time Duan Cheng and the others arrived, there were few people in the entire Xiongnu who were intact.

"My day, it's so miserable." Countless generals like Duan Cheng can't stand it, so it can be seen that the two sides of this war are really desperate. However, Duan Cheng also sighed, after all, it is better to die foreigners than to kill their own people.

Duan Cheng sent people to clean up the battlefield on the one hand, and comforted them a few words on the other hand. Subsequently, he sent a good news to the imperial court. The Han people were excited to learn that the Huns had been exterminated in such a short period of time. And those foreign leaders really didn't know what to do when they learned that the Xiongnu had been destroyed. (To be continued......)
