Although he was a little disappointed, Su Yan quickly composed himself and began to think about this matter.
Out of these three choices, no matter how one looked at it, Su Yan had eliminated the third option.
It was never his character to shrink back when faced with problems.
If he didn't take the initiative to resist the attack of the Wuhuan people, who knew how many people would be killed?
He would never allow such a thing to happen.
Those who invade our powerful Han Dynasty will be killed even if they are far away!
This sentence was not a joke. In ancient times, the contradictions between ethnic groups were irreconcilable. It was either you die or I die!
Therefore, the concept of harmony in his previous life did not apply at this time.
Those who are not of our race must have different hearts!
Outsiders were only fit to submit to the Han people, no matter when!
Hence, Su Yan rejected the third option of retreating without hesitation.
As for the first and second questions, Su Yan pondered for a long time before asking,"System, what if you make a choice but it doesn't come true?”
"Ding! Depending on the situation, if the master chose the first option but only reached the second option, the second option would be used.”
"In that case, I choose the first option!”
Su Yan said firmly.
No matter which one he chose, there would be no harm. Naturally, he would choose the best.
"Men, call Dian Wei over!”
"Here!"
The servant hurriedly left to invite Dian Wei. Not long after, Dian Wei rushed back.
"Dian Wei, immediately send out scouts to monitor the movements within a 30-mile radius of Zhuo County.”
Su Yan instructed.
"My lord, why is this?" Dian Wei asked doubtfully.
"I suspect that the Wuhuan people will come to our side, so we must make preparations in advance."”
"I'll do it now!"
Dian Wei nodded and left.
Watching Dian Wei leave, Su Yan sat alone in the study and gradually fell into deep thought.
................
Zhuo County, Fangcheng County.
Compared to the neighboring Zhuo County, Fangcheng County could not be compared in terms of city size or population.
However, the historical and cultural heritage of Fangcheng County was not something Zhuo County could compare to.
As early as the Xia and Shang dynasties, Fangcheng County had already been built here and became an important population city.
Later, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, many famous historical figures came out of this place.
The leader of the peasant uprising, Chen Sheng.
The pioneer of the Silk Road of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian, all originated from this place.
It could be said that few places across Youzhou Province could match this place in terms of culture.
However, on this day, a cavalry appeared in Fangcheng County.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ear-splitting sound of horse hooves rang out, sounding like rolling thunder coming from afar.
The dense iron hooves stomped on the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble.
Looking out, he saw a dense crowd of people on the vast horizon.
These people were dressed in animal skins and leather hats. They carried longbows on their backs and held machetes in their hands.
As he galloped, he shouted loudly.
His eyes were filled with killing intent and desire.
This army was led by Su Puyan and Nanlou, the generals of Wuhuan General Tadun.
"According to the scouts, the nearest village is only ten miles away.”
Nan Lou said to Su Puyan.
"Good! Pass down the order, speed up! I'll let him pick the woman first!”
Su Puyan shouted.
When the soldiers below heard this, they were excited. They shouted and whipped their horses with all their might, wanting to fight for first place.
The five thousand cavalrymen did not have any formation at all. They ran like a swarm of bees, leaving behind a large cloud of dust.
............
Zhuo County, the backyard of the county government.
Su Yan and Zou Yu were sitting in the pavilion and chatting. At this moment, an attendant quickly walked over and whispered into his ear.
"Got it. Call the county magistrate and county captain over.”
Su Yan waved his hand, and the attendant immediately left.
"Is Big Brother Su on business again?”
Zou Yu opened her beautiful big eyes and softly said.
"Yes, I am."
Su Yan nodded and was about to speak when Zou Yu took the lead and said,"Then I'll go back first. I'll come back when Brother Su has time.”
"Alright."
Su Yan smiled. After which, he stood up and sent Zou Yu off before heading to the study room.
At this moment, Du Ji and Dian Wei arrived.
"Greetings, my lord!"
The two of them bowed. Su Yan waved his hand and said,"I just received news from the scouts that two days ago, the Wuhuan Cavalry appeared in Fangcheng County.”
"So fast!"
The surprised Du Ji and Dian Wei looked at each other. Then, Du Ji said,"My lord, the Wuhuan cavalry has appeared in Fangcheng County. Their next target might be us. After all, Zhuo County is the closest to Fangcheng County.”
"That's right. I called you here because of this.”
"The scouts have reported that the enemy has about four to five thousand people."”
"Four, five thousand?"
Du Ji frowned." My lord, if the information is true, then the situation is very serious. After all, the Xiongnu don't raise infantry. This must be four or five thousand cavalry!"”
"With our current strength, it will be very difficult for us to fight against them.”
"Humph! So what if there are four or five thousand people? I can still kill them all.”
Dian Wei snorted and said unhappily.
Du Ji ignored him and asked,"What does the lord plan to do?"”
"I plan to lead troops to reinforce Fangcheng County.”
Su Yan looked at him and said what he was thinking.
"Defending will not bring victory. We must think of a way to take the initiative to attack.”
"But once my lord leaves with your troops, Zhuo County will have no soldiers to defend.”
Du Ji said.
"Send out a notice to all the people in the surrounding villages to move to the city. As for the farmland, as long as you take protective measures, send a small number of soldiers to guard it.”
"The Huns attacked this time for women and money. Without these, they wouldn't have wasted their time destroying the village.”
"If that's the case, I'll stay behind to guard the rear.”
Du Ji cupped his hands.
