On July 25, the 34th year of Qin Shihuang.
The 400,000 Xiongnu and Great Yue Clan allied army had set up camp in the depths of the Great Prairie, which was 800 miles away from Jiuyuan.
In the Xiongnu army, the person in charge of the scouting cavalry was Chief Hu Yan Liang Gong, the personal guard of Chief Touman.
The Huyan Clan was a noble clan of the Xiongnu.
Among the Xiongnu, the twin family is the most noble, and all the chanyu come from this family.
After that, there were the Huyan Clan, Lan Clan, Xubu Clan, and Qiulin Clan. The four clans had been married to Chanyu for generations.
The scouts and cavalry of the Xiongnu were also the most elite warriors of the Xiongnu.
These 20,000 elite scouts were led by his trusted aide, Huyan Lianggong.
Every day before the sun rose, if there was no special mission, all the Xiongnu scouts and cavalry sent out the day before would return to the camp to report the information they had gathered the day before.
And today, one of the thousand cavalry commanders under Huyan Lianggong reported that a small scout team had not returned to the main camp.
In the beginning, Hu Yan Lianggong did not take it to heart. After all, wolves roamed the grasslands, and there were also Qin scouts wandering around. Although there were not many Xiongnu scouts returning late, it was not as if there were none.
It was almost noon when the thousand cavalry commander came to report that the scout team had not returned to camp. Huyan Lianggong immediately felt that something was wrong.
The elite scouts of the Xiongnu would only be in danger if they encountered over a hundred wolves, but they would not be completely wiped out.
Apart from the wolf pack, there were also Great Qin's well-equipped Cavalrymen, who were even more ferocious and cunning than the wolf pack.
Huyan Lianggong immediately ordered this thousand cavalry commander to personally lead his men to scout along the route that the scouts had taken yesterday. Huyan Lianggong hurriedly rushed to the Chanyu's tent in the middle of the camp.
Although he wasn't sure if the scouts had been killed by the Qin army, Hu Yanliang didn't dare to be negligent.
Huyan Lianggong was very clear about the current situation. He might be punished for misreporting, but if he didn't report it and the Chief found out later, he would only die.
When Huyan Lianggong asked to see Touman, Touman was in the Chief's tent discussing important matters with the Right Sage King and the Left and Right Gudu Marquis.
Huyan Lianggong, who had obtained the permission of the head man, strode into the tent. He knelt on one knee and placed his palm on his chest as he lowered his head and respectfully said.
"Reporting to the great Chanyu Chengli Gutu, yesterday, a group of scouts in the camp has yet to return. Your servant Lianggong believes that it was done by the scouts of the Qin army wandering on the prairie.”
"I'm afraid that the people of Nine Plains Qin are already prepared for the arrival of the great Chengli Gutu Chanyu.”
The Xiongnu people called the sky " chongli ", while " Gutu " meant son in the Xiongnu language. Therefore,"Chanyu Chengli Gutu" meant "a great leader like the son of heaven".
Originally, Hu Yan Lianggong was prepared to be punished by Tou Man. However, to his surprise, when Tou Man and Gudu Hou, who were in the tent, heard his words, they looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.
"My prairie eagle, who told you that this Chanyu has brought hundreds of thousands of brave warriors from my prairie to attack the Qin people?”Touman laughed as he asked.
Huyan Lianggong, who had a rough and fierce appearance, looked at the smiling Touman with a puzzled expression.
"Huyan Lianggong, are you sure that the scouts who haven't returned were killed by the Qin army?”Touman continued to ask with a smile.
"Great Chanyu Chengli Gutu, your humble servant would not dare to deceive you.”At this point, Hu Yan Lianggong saw Touman's eyes gradually lose all warmth as he looked at him. He could not help but break out in cold sweat.
"Go investigate." Touman's face darkened.
"Great Chanyu Chengli Gutu, I will go and investigate.”Huyan Lianggong hurriedly said.
"Alright."
"If by the time the sun sets, you still haven't confirmed if it was Qin's doing, I will definitely punish you heavily.”
"But if it was really the Qin people who did it, I will reward you heavily.”
Touman laughed.
Huyan Lianggong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead after hearing this. Then, he hurriedly bowed respectfully and retreated. After leaving the tent, he began to run wildly.
It was already noon, and Hu Yanliang knew that he did not have much time left. Of course, he had to run.
Very quickly.
Huyan Lianggong led a large group of scouts and cavalry out of the Xiongnu camp, following the route that the scouts had taken out of the camp to search carefully.
......
Huyan Lianggong led a large group of scouts and cavalrymen to rush back when the sun was just slightly west.
His luck was very good, and he soon found the place where the missing scouts and the Qin scouts were fighting.
They also found the corpses buried by the Qin scouts. The unique triangular arrow marks on the corpses were enough to prove who the murderer was.
Only Great Qin's soldiers would use triangular arrowheads, and almost all of the Xiongnu scouts knew this.
"It seems that Commander Hu Yanliang was already confirmed to be the work of the Qin people.”Touman said with a smile.
"Great Chanyu Chengli Gutu, your humble servant is certain that this was done by the Qin people.”Huyan Lianggong respectfully knelt on one knee and placed his hand on his chest.
"Alright."
"My Eagle Warrior, I already know about your great contribution this time.”
"Now, I will give you another mission. After the mission is completed, you will be rewarded for both contributions.”Touman laughed loudly.
"Great Chanyu Chengli Gutu, your humble servant is willing to do anything for you, including sacrificing your humble servant's life.”Huyan Lianggong said with flattery.
The left and right Gudu marquises all had goosebumps when they heard this. No one had expected this ugly looking boorish man to be so skilled at bootlicking.
But Head Man was very pleased, this was also the reason why he didn't appoint anyone else but appointed Hu Yan Liang Gong as the personal guard ten thousand cavalry commander.
"Huyan Liang, listen up."
"Immediately lead 3,000 elite scouts to welcome the Saints of the Great Prairie.”Head Man said respectfully.
This respectful expression should not have appeared on Touman's face.
Touman was a big Xiongnu!
The king of the plains!
"What?"
"What?"
As soon as Tou Man finished speaking, Marquis Gudu and Huyan Lianggong were shocked.
The Saint of the Great Prairie.
This was a person protected by the heavens.
This was an emissary of a god in the human world.
The Saint of the Great Prairie.
Saints from many tribes of the grassland.
The number one expert of the Great Prairie.
No one knew where he was.
No one knew how long he had lived.
He was a legend to ordinary herdsmen.
But the nobles on the prairie knew.
Saints of the Great Prairie existed.
"Great Chanyu Chengli Gutu, welcoming the saint of the prairie is the best reward for your humble servant.”
Huyan Lianggong's breathing quickened. He was excited.
