Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Huns Are Destroyed

"Your Majesty, do you think this wine is quite delicious?"

Yang Chou filled Lin Mu's wine glass with a flattering face, but his hands seemed to be a little shaky.

Lin Mu glanced at Yang Chou a little strangely, although Yang Chou was very flattering to himself before, but now he is not only flattering, but also seems to have ...... Some fear?

Yang Chou saw Lin Mu drink the wine, and continued.

"Your Majesty, now that the Huns have fled, what should we do, we are all at Your Majesty's orders."

Yang Chou didn't dare to let Lin Mu feel that he was a little disrespectful, and almost stripped himself naked and let Lin Mu dispose of it.

Lin Mu is actually thinking about this problem now, although the morale of killing the Huns collapsed, but the Huns are like a piece of dog skin plaster.

When you have conquered him, they will bow down to you and dare not disobey you in the slightest.

Once you start to decline a bit, they will enter the Central Plains and start burning and looting.

It has nothing to do with their personal likes and dislikes, because once they are exposed to extremely cold weather, there is no way for them to live.

In order to survive, they had to go south to loot, and only when they had enough supplies could they survive the harsh winter.

It is simply impossible for you to let them endure the bitter cold on the steppe and not go south to plunder until they die.

Even when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beat the Huns like that, but a few decades later, the Huns began to act again.

Therefore, don't look at Hu Chuquan now, it seems that he has run away, and he was also frightened by the killing of Lin Mu, but their main force actually did not suffer too many casualties.

Lin Mu killed one person, even if it was killed for a month, it was impossible to kill the 150,000 army.

Their morale was just broken, and as long as there was a slight natural disaster, they would still face the problem of looting or waiting for death, and they would continue to loot south.

Therefore, although the Huns are scattered and fleeing now, they cannot just let them go, and Hu Chuquan must die.

"Spread my will, send troops to hunt down and kill Hu Chuquan, and if you want to see people in life, you will see corpses in death!"

Lin Mu said as he drank the wine that Yang Chougang had just poured him up, and then walked towards the outside of the mansion.

Now there is a heavy snow on the grassland, and the heavy snow will sink the horses' hooves into it, and they have lost their baggage in such a severe cold, so even if Huchuquan is full of cavalry, they will definitely not be able to run far.

"Yes, let's do it."

Yang Chou hurriedly stood up and began to order the soldiers and horses of Jinyang City to start attacking.

Outside Jinyang City, Yang Chou looked at the forest trees riding on horses.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do here?"

"You and the others have sent troops to pursue the Huns, how can I sit in Jinyang? I want to go to the north and annihilate the Huns! ”

Three days later, the soldiers in Jinyang City, led by Lin Mu, began to pursue the Xiongnu.

However, due to the heavy snowfall, he could only travel dozens of miles a day.

At this time, although it had been four days since the Xiongnu fled, the Huns had long since escaped and did not know how far they had escaped.

After three or four days of chasing, Lin Mu found a body lying on the side of the road.

From this moment on, there are more and more corpses on the side of the road, there are too many corpses along the road, there is no need to worry about not finding them, these corpses of the Huns are the best signpost.

These Huns were demoralized by the woods, and when they fled, they didn't have time to bring any baggage.

Moreover, the food of the Huns is cattle and sheep, who cares about cattle and sheep when fleeing for their lives.

didn't bring much food, the army was more than 100,000, coupled with the severe cold and heavy snow, although the forest was not too fast, but the Huns could not run far.

Then they pursued forward, and by the fourth or fifth day of the pursuit, the corpses of some war horses appeared on the side of the road.

Along with the carcasses of these horses, there were also some Huns who had been stripped naked.

The flesh on the carcass of the war horse was cut off, and only a bare skeleton remained.

Yang Chou was wrapped like a bear, and Gu Yong stepped forward to inspect it and said to Lin Mudao.

"Your Majesty, they have begun to kill horses, and they will not be able to run far."

Yang Chou glanced at Lin Mu's open mind, and couldn't help but feel numb in his heart.

As the distance went on, more and more corpses fell on the side of the road, and even some of the corpses began to show signs of knife cuts.

By this time, some of the soldiers had begun to lose their patience with the cold and had begun to suffer casualties.

Lin Mu ordered the frostbitten soldiers to be sent back to Jinyang City, and he took the rest of the soldiers to pursue them north.

The farther north you go, the colder the weather becomes, and ten days later, Lin Mu and the remaining 3,000 soldiers have chased them to the border of Taiyuan.

In such a cold weather, the forest trees actually opened their minds, and it seemed that such a severe cold was like a breeze for the trees.

"Keep chasing."

Lin Mu slapped his horse and continued to move forward, but Yang Chou hurriedly stepped forward to say to Lin Mu.

"Your Majesty, further along, you will go out of Taiyuan to Jiuyuan, the cold wind blows the face like a knife, and the snow falls all over the ground like a quagmire, Your Majesty should add a piece of clothing."

"This cold wind is just a breeze on my face, General Yang doesn't need to say much, just keep going."

Yang Chou had no choice but to continue to mount his horse and pursue forward, and soon the remaining 3,000 soldiers left Taiyuan and came to Jiuyuan.

Jiuyuan was originally a land of annexed states, and Ding Yuan was stationed to guard the border, but because of Ding Yuan's tragic death, coupled with the later Zhang Yang Lu Bu's poor management, the Huns were moved south by the Han court, and Jiuyuan was gradually occupied by the Huns.

And judging from the corpses that fell along the way, it is very likely that Hu Chuquan entered Jiuyuan City.

Although Jiuyuan City is said to be a city, it is actually only the size of a small county, and the city walls are not high.

After inspecting the woods, he gave the order to start the siege.

In this battle, Lin Mu took the lead, and the Huns could not support Lin Mu at all, and the morale of the army increased greatly, coupled with the fact that the morale of the Huns was not high, Jiuyuan City was broken in just one hour.

Hu Chuquan wanted to take advantage of the heavy snow to escape, but found that the outside of Jiuyuan City was blocked by the Han soldiers, and he wanted to fight to the death when there was no hope of escaping, but his head was cut off by his subordinates and dedicated to the Son of Heaven, and the rest of the Huns knelt on the ground to pray for surrender when they saw this.

When it was over, Lin Mu knew that due to the barrier of the wind and snow group, coupled with the lack of food, less than 10,000 of the 150,000 troops fled all the way back to Jiuyuan.

The situation of the Xiongnu, which had just improved, was instantly defeated by the forest trees.

Originally, the dragon court of the Huns had been moved to Hedong by the Han family to guard it, and it was already in decline.

Now it is hard to seize an opportunity to gather the Huns, and now most of the Huns are young and strong, and the Huns will not be able to recover for decades.

Since then, the Huns in the Han border have been completely defeated, and the state has been annexed.

In the land of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court now occupies four states, and it has also become the largest force in the world.
