In the Chief's tent, the first Xiongnu leader stood out and said loudly.
"Great Chanyu, send out your troops and kill your way into the Han Dynasty for revenge!!”
"Chief Chanyu, they killed more than 15,000 Xiongnu people. We have to pay them back tenfold or a hundredfold.”
"Great Chief, you must avenge the Xiongnu people who died!”
"Great Chanyu, that Han Dynasty actually dared to attack our Great Xiongnu. He simply doesn't put our Great Xiongnu in his eyes. We must teach him a profound lesson!”
"That's right, Da Dan Yu. Let's kill our way into Chang 'an and slaughter the Han Emperor to sacrifice the people of our Great Xiongnu!”
……
All of a sudden, many Xiongnu leaders stood up and pleaded angrily to the military minister, Chief.
For decades, only the Great Xiongnu had invaded the Han Dynasty. Since when did the Han Dynasty invade the Great Xiongnu?
Now that the Xiongnu had suffered this round of attacks, although the losses were not too great, it still filled many leaders with anger. They all requested to send troops to attack the border.
Especially the Xiongnu leaders who had been attacked by the Han army under their own forces, they were filled with anger.
The Xiongnu were the overlords of this grassland, a country of a hundred barbarians. Ever since the Maodun Chanyu unified the grassland, who dared to be so presumptuous in front of the Xiongnu?
The military minister Chanyu sat at the head of the table. He looked calmly at the Xiongnu leaders who stood up excitedly in the king's tent. He was not surprised.
For decades, the Xiongnu had been suppressing the Han Dynasty. Even if the Han Dynasty had invaded the grasslands, they would only kill a few scattered Xiongnu people near the Great Wall. They would never dare to enter the grasslands to slaughter their troops.
Now, the face of the Great Xiongnu had been ruthlessly trampled by this Han army. This made everyone feel ashamed. It was normal for them to be angry.
He waved his hand, signaling the agitated leaders to sit down. Then, he glanced at the Zhongxing Shuo beside him and said,
"The central bank said that we should first tell the leaders about the situation of this Han army general!”
"Yes, Chief Chanyu!"
Zhongxing Shuo nodded respectfully at Junchen Chanyu and then looked at the Xiongnu leaders in the main tent.
Many Xiongnu leaders also turned to look at the Zhongxing Shuo. They were also very curious. Who was the general of this Han army? Who was so bold?
" Leaders, this man is called Tian He, the new prefect of Yanmen Prefecture. He led 1,700 cavalrymen of the Han army into the grassland. He once made great contributions to the Han Dynasty in quelling the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. He beheaded Liu Bi, the King of Wu, and was conferred the title of Marquis by the Han Dynasty. He was highly valued by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty..."
Zhong Xing Shuo slowly introduced it to everyone.
The Xiongnu leaders widened their eyes in disbelief.
The young general of the Han Dynasty…the person who was conferred the title of marquis…the new prefect of Yanmen Prefecture…
"I didn't expect the general of this Han army to be a young man!”
"No wonder he dared to be so bold!"
"When did such a powerful general appear in the Han Dynasty?”
"The new prefect of Yanmen County, we must break into Yanmen County and take this man's head!”
"Hmph, I didn't expect that the Han Dynasty would have such a brave general other than a general like Li Guang!”
……
The crowd discussed animatedly.
"Everyone, this person dares to attack our Xiongnu grasslands with less than two thousand troops. He is rare among the Han generals. In the future, we need to pay more attention to this person.”
Junchen Chanyu said in a deep voice to the leaders of the various tribes who were discussing animatedly.
The leaders of the various tribes nodded. They had no choice but to remember the person who had committed such a crime on the Xiongnu prairie and stirred up the entire prairie.
"Alright, now, everyone, tell us how we should face the Han army's wanton slaughter on our grasslands!”
The military minister Chanyu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, especially at the Xiongnu leaders who had not spoken before.
Seemingly sensing General Chanyu's gaze, the few Xiongnu leaders who didn't say anything also stood up and said,
"Chief Chanyu, revenge must be taken. However, I'm afraid that it won't be profitable to lead the army to attack the Xiongnu now. Yanmen Yunzhong, the border county of the Han Dynasty, has been plundered by the Xiongnu. There isn't much money left.”
"That's right, it's going to be winter soon. The grass and trees are withering, and the livestock don't have enough food. It's not the best time to send troops. Moreover, the Han army must be on guard, and they might not be able to successfully attack the border!”
However, before they could finish speaking, many indignant Xiongnu leaders retorted.
All of a sudden, there was a flurry of discussion in the main tent.
Seeing this situation, Junchen Chanyu's expression was a little gloomy.
Then, he looked at Zhong Xing and said,
"Zhongxing, what do you think about this matter?”
Zhongxing Shuo, who was standing respectfully at the side, looked at Junchen Chanyu. He followed Junchen Chanyu by his side, so how could he not understand Junchen Chanyu's thoughts?
The Xiongnu leaders who did not advocate sending troops were right. It was indeed not the best time to send troops to attack in autumn and winter. Moreover, the Han army was already on guard, so it would be difficult for them to gain an advantage.
If he lost his soldiers and generals for revenge, it would not be worth it.
However, since most of the Xiongnu leaders wanted to fight, the military minister Chanyu had to consider their thoughts!
"First Chief, I think we should send troops!”
Zhong Xing said respectfully.
"Oh? Why?"
The military minister Chanyu looked at Zhong Xing with interest.
Many leaders in the main tent also looked at the Central Bank Chief. They all knew that the Chief valued this Han, and his opinions often greatly affected the Chief's decisions.
"Chief Chanyu, that Han Dynasty general dared to lead his army into the territory of the Great Xiongnu. If the Great Xiongnu doesn't react, wouldn't it make the Great Xiongnu lose face? Wouldn't the Han Dynasty become even more rampant in the future? More disrespectful?"
Junchen Chanyu looked at him, his eyes flickering. He nodded slightly,
"Okay, continue!"
"Chief Chanyu, I think that not only will our Great Xiongnu send troops, but we will also send a large army to let the Han Dynasty feel the anger of our Great Xiongnu. We will make the Han Dynasty citizens and the Han Dynasty emperor tremble with fear!”
Junchen Chanyu stared at him and said,
"Then you mean to send an army to attack the Han Dynasty?”
Zhong Xingshuo shook his head and said respectfully,
"Chief Chanyu, I don't approve of attacking the Han Dynasty!”
"Oh? What do you mean?" Junchen Chanyu looked at him in surprise. He wanted to send troops but not attack?
