After killing these prison robbers, Yu Chen said to Zhao Yun,""Zilong, I order you to immediately lead the cavalry to attack Tu Gehu. Before they can react, strike like lightning! Let's just exterminate them!"
"Here!"
Zhao Yun received the order and led 3,000 cavalry out of Mayi, heading towards the Tugehu encampment.
At the same time, a battle to wipe out Tu Gehu in Yanmen County suddenly began!
Before anyone could react.
Especially Tu Gehu. They did not even know what had happened when a group of Han soldiers rushed into their encampment and massacred them!
In the game, the population of Tu Gehu was close to a million.
Xiongnu men could herd sheep and fight on horses, so they could gather at least 200,000 to 300,000 troops.
But now, these 200,000 to 300,000 strong men had a bloody hole in their chests while they were half-asleep…
Such a thing happened in the places where the Xiongnu lived in Yanmen.
In one night, more than half of the population of Tugehu had disappeared!
By the time the leader of the Tugehu tribe reacted, everything was over!
A group of cavalrymen barged into his encampment. A silver-armored general wielding a spear was like a god descending from the heavens. All the Xiongnu warriors could not last more than three rounds in front of him!
With a sweep of his spear, one-third of Tu Gehu's encampment was reduced to ruins…
"Leader! You must live! Go and tell Chanyu to avenge us!”
A Tugehu general led a horse to the leader of the Tugehu tribe and asked him to mount it and escape.
Touched, the leader of the Tugehu tribe patted the general's hand. He mounted his horse and looked at the flames soaring into the sky. The territory was filled with wails as he said angrily,"Don't worry! I will definitely let Chanyu avenge you!!”
"Traitor, don't leave!" Not far away, Zhao Yun had also noticed the movement here and immediately spurred her horse over!
The leader of the Tugehu tribe was shocked. He slapped his horse frantically and ran towards the west as fast as he could.
Unfortunately, his horse could not outrun Zhao Yun's Night Shining Jade Lion. In just 15 minutes, Zhao Yun had caught up with the leader of the Tugehu.
The spear pierced towards the other party's heart!
This spear was as fast as lightning, and the leader of the Tugehu tribe had no time to dodge. Zhao Yun pierced through his heart and he fell to the ground.
Zhao Yun carried the corpse of the leader of the Tugehu tribe with his spear and led the cavalry back to Mayi.
The battle in other places was also going smoothly. The Tu Gehu tribes did not have time to react or defend.
Even if they defended, it would be useless. All of Yu Chen's soldiers were elites. The Xiongnu elites were cavalry, and the soldiers without horses were no match for Yu Chen's soldiers.
What awaited them was only a one-sided massacre!
After three days of extermination, only a small number of Xiongnu escaped from Yanmen Prefecture.
Yu Chen didn't mind. It was impossible to kill all of them. If they escaped, so be it.
This matter would be known by the court sooner or later. In any case, he had sent troops under the banner of quelling the rebellion. When the time came, he would not be in the wrong at all when he argued with the court.
The Tugehu and Xiongnu who had escaped from Yanmen Prefecture headed west and finally arrived at the court of the South Chanyu. They met the current Chanyu of the Xiongnu, the Qiangqu Chanyu.
When these survivors saw Chief Qiang Qu, they immediately cried,""Great King! You have to avenge us! The Han people betrayed us and slaughtered our people!! We're the only ones left in the entire Tu Gehu!”
"Great King! I beg you to send troops to avenge our clansmen!”
Chief Qiang Qu shook his head repeatedly and said resolutely,""Impossible! It was impossible! There were nearly a million people in the Tu tribe! There were at least 200,000 to 300,000 young adults with combat strength! Even if it was a million sheep! Even if they were given to the Han army to kill, it would take them three days and three nights to kill them all!”
"Great King! If Your Majesty doesn't believe us, you can send someone to verify it. Your Majesty, please send your troops south to fight the Great Han! Avenge our clansmen!"
"I beg Your Majesty to avenge our clansmen!"
"I beg Your Majesty to avenge our clansmen!"
“……”
The Qiangqu Chanyu was already somewhat convinced. He sat on the throne with lost eyes.
Suddenly, his face was filled with malevolence as he said to his two sons,"Yuflo, Huhuquan! Immediately lead your troops to surround the mansion of the Xiongnu Lieutenant General! If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll chop off Wang Rou's head and send it to the Great Han Emperor!”
"Here!"
The two of them received the order and immediately went out to gather troops.
After a while, the two brothers returned, but they looked a little flustered."Father, bad news! Wang Rou was no longer in the residence. It was said that she left the city this morning and even took all her family members with her!”
" What?!"
This time, Chief Qiang Qu was really angry!
Even Wang Rou had run away, so the words of those who had escaped were most likely true!
In fact, when they were about to attack the Xiongnu, Yu Chen had already informed Wang Rou to leave the Chanyu Court as soon as possible.
The arrow was on the bowstring and had to be fired!
Moreover, he had already accepted the game's mission, so there was no way he would give up.
"Great King! We have to think about this matter carefully!" When Prince Youxian saw that Qiang Qu Chanyu was about to lose control of his emotions, he immediately came out to remind him.
Then, he said to Tu Gehu and the others who had escaped,"You must be very tired to be able to escape back. I'll get someone to bring you down to rest. This matter concerns the life and death of the Xiongnu.”
With that, he ordered the soldiers to bring these people away.
Qu Bei then said to the Qiang Qu Chanyu,""Your Majesty, although this matter might be true, if we rashly start a war with the Great Han Dynasty, we have no chance of winning! It would be better to calm down first and send out an envoy to question the Great Han Emperor. He would make a decision after receiving an answer.”
Qu Bei glanced at the people around him and slowly said,"Moreover, Tu Gehu has never been obedient to the king's orders and has always had the intention to rebel. This time, the Great Han will help us take care of them so that the king won't have to worry about this every day.”
When Qiang Qu Chanyu heard this, he felt that Qu Bei's words made sense and nodded.""What Prince Youxian said makes sense. Then let's send an envoy to explain this matter to the Great Han Emperor and see how he will handle it! However…this Governor of Yanmen! If there was a chance, he would definitely kill him!”
If they could think of it, how could Yu Chen not?
Long before they took action, Yu Chen had already prepared evidence of Tu Gehu's rebellion. When they started the purge, Yu Chen had sent this evidence to Luoyang…
Yu Chen was looking forward to whether the messenger sent by the Qiang Qu Chanyu would be directly dragged out and beheaded when he arrived in Luoyang.
