A group of officials looked at the scouts who rushed in, with puzzled expressions, and King Zuo Xian scolded angrily.

"Bastard, this is the royal court's big tent, what kind of system is it to be so flustered?"

"Someone, drag him down!"

Seeing him like this, all the officials on the side did not dare to speak, and lowered their heads one after another, for fear that they would also be remembered together.

King Zuo Xian was now discussing the banquet for the guests, and everyone was extremely happy.

Now you suddenly jump out and say that something big is wrong, isn't this looking for death?

Seeing this, the Right Sage King on the side hurriedly said, "What's the hurry? Maybe what's the matter? I want to see who dares to touch you today! ”

Hearing this, Zuo Xianwang's face on the side changed suddenly, which made it clear that he wanted to make himself unable to get off the stage.

But if you really want to confront the right king in the royal court, and you sweep the face of the khan, you can't do it.

Now if you want to resolve the embarrassing situation, you can only see when Khan comes forward.

Before he could wait long, on the throne, the Xiongnu Khan immediately said coldly: "Nonsense, this is the place where the royal court is located, if you want to fight, go to the grassland, and see who is the eagle on my grassland!" ”

With that, he looked at the scout and asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

The scout bent down and said, "The Cabal stronghold on the border has been slaughtered, more than 8,000 people, and none of them survived!" ”

Hearing this, King Zuo Xian suddenly got up, and said in an extremely anxious voice: "What did you say? The Cabal stronghold was slaughtered? ”

"Where's my goods?"

The scout trembled and said, "Yes, it should be gone!" ”

The officials were shocked.

Who would dare to send troops against the Huns in winter?

Aren't you afraid of freezing to death on the grassland?

Even the Xiongnu royal court needs to rely on experienced old horses to lead the way.

In addition, the eagles that go in and out of the grassland all year round can ensure that they do not get lost in the vast grassland.

These people were so bold that they dared to move troops against the Huns in winter.

King Zuo Xian was extremely angry, swaying from side to side and yelling: "Who, who dares to be so bold? ”

"I'm going to kill him, kill him."

Seeing him in such a state, the scout's body trembled, and he didn't dare to raise his head and said, "It's Su Mo, it's the cavalry under Su Mo's command who is here!" ”

Quiescence!

Deathly silence!

Even King Zuo Xian stopped his movements and froze in place.

His pupils were full of confusion as he looked at the scout and questioned, "What you said is true?" ”

The scout knelt on the ground, looked terrified, and whispered, "It's true, the brother who ran back from the stronghold said it himself, and if he hadn't run in time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come back." ”

The rest of the ministers didn't care about what he said, some looked frightened, some looked shocked, and some looked at everyone with puzzled expressions.

With a voice of how could it be, the ministers immediately fell into a mixed quarrel.

There are those who are filled with righteous indignation and invite troops to send troops, there are those who are panicked and want to ask and withdraw from the army, and there are those who sit on the mountain and watch the play and can't worry about their turn.

For a moment, the royal court was covered by various sounds.

Until the Right Xian King got up and arched his hand: "Khan, the urgent thing at noon now is to know why Su Mo moved his troops!" ”

"I, the Huns, did not move troops against the border army, Su Mo should not have come for the grassland!"

Hearing his words, King Zuo Xian retorted sharply: "Why do you want to move troops, naturally you are here for my Hun cattle and sheep!" ”

"The shortage of food at the border has been revealed, why do you say you want to use troops?"

King Youxian was not stunned at all, got up and said coldly: "Do you still look like a prince?" What's the difference with a shrew? ”

"There are two urgent things to do at noon!"

"One, figure out the reason why Su Mo used troops against my Huns!"

"Second, who led the troops to repel Su Mo!"

Hearing his words, all the officials calmed down, and everyone began to discuss the reason for Su Mo's move.

King Youxian felt that he should take out a part of the cattle and sheep and negotiate peace with Su Mo to prevent the Xiongnu from losing more strongholds and cattle and sheep.

Some officials feel that it is a loss of face to be timid before the war.

It was now the depths of winter, and it was difficult for the cavalry to march on the steppe.

Moreover, the Xiongnu steppe is vast and sparsely populated, and it is extremely easy to get lost in the deep winter.

Even if the Huns travel, they need to rely on the old horse to know the way, plus experienced people to lead the way to ensure that they are not surprised.

The border army is unclear about the terrain of the steppe, and the situation is unclear, which is an opportunity for the Xiongnu Dynasty.

One of the generals spoke: "If my Xiongnu can defeat Su Mo, wouldn't it be famous in Kyushu!" Even King Ding'an lost to Su Mo! ”

His words made the Xiongnu Khan extremely moved, he had been pursuing the achievement of surpassing his ancestors all his life, and now the opportunity was in front of him, and he did not want to miss it.

If the Xiongnu were recovered in his hands, he would also be considered a hero of the steppe.

Seeing that his expression was slightly moved, the general knew in his heart that the khan was already a little moved, and then spoke again: "Now that the border is full of sixteen cities, if my Xiongnu can take the opportunity to take it, it is the best opportunity for the Xiongnu to march into the Great Zhou Dynasty!" ”

A group of officials were also persuaded by his words, and began to discuss the leaders of the troops.

On the other side, Su Mo still didn't know what the Huns thought.

His lieutenant general has already finished rectifying the receipt of the first stronghold.

Cheng Meng took the battle report and said excitedly: "General, you have made a fortune!" ”

"We found 20,000 rolls of wool in the first stronghold, plus 3,000 war horses, and a total of 50,000 cattle and sheep!"

"Plus some beef jerky for the winter, etc.!"

Hearing this number, Su Mo was also slightly moved, but there were 50,000 cattle and sheep in a stronghold of the Xiongnu, which was simply rich.

In these years, he fought the autumn wind of the Huns on the border, capturing some war horses, cattle and sheep to feed the border army.

Now it seems that those things are not even a drop in the bucket for the Huns.

There are 3,000 horses in one stronghold, how rich is that?

He established pastures at the border passes, cultivated war horses, and frequently purchased fine war horses from various dynasties, which was enough for 50,000 cavalry.

One stronghold of this Xiongnu is 3,000 war horses, and with armor and equipment, it is a thousand warriors, which is enviable just thinking about it.

Looking at Cheng Meng's figure, Su Mo immediately asked, "How much damage did our army have?" ”

Cheng Meng said with a smile on his face: "General, this Chen Wu really has two brushes, and the vanguard army only lost three hundred brothers, and the remaining two hundred were slightly injured!" ”

"The 8,000 men and horses in the Xiongnu stronghold were killed according to the order, except for the old man and children!"

Hearing this battle loss, Su Mo was quite satisfied, the first time the recruits fought each other, only three hundred people were lost, which was a good result, and when these people were finished, the loss in this battle would be even less.
