Pingyang County was built near the river and was a big county in Hedong County.
The Southern Xiongnu had occupied this place for several years.
On a hill five miles outside the city.
Qin Lie stood on the hillside and looked in the direction of Pingyang County.
"Giddyup!"
A horse galloped over from afar.
After a short while, Azure Dragon came forward to report.
"My lord, the Embroidered Uniform Guards have already investigated the situation in the city.”
"Currently, Pingyang County has four Xiongnu cavalry, led by Xiongnu Chanyu Yu Fuluo.”
"Forty thousand…"
Qin Lie muttered.
He had expected this number.
The Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Golden Fire Cavalry were more than enough to deal with the 40,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen.
The biggest problem was to eliminate the root of the problem!
The Southern Xiongnu would not sit still and wait for death.
If they were careless and let the remaining Southern Xiongnu members escape, it would be a disaster.
Azure Dragon reports again.
"My lord, according to the reports from White Tiger and Azure Dragon, Yu Fuluo is currently making preparations in the city to invite his allies to a banquet.”
"Oh?"
Qin Lie's eyes lit up.
Banquet for allies?
Could this be an opportunity?
"Who are you inviting?"
"According to the Xiongnu, it was a person called Yang Hong.”
"This Yang Hong rushed over from Yuzhou.”
"Yang Hong?"
"The land of Yuzhou?"
The corners of Qin Lie's mouth curled up slightly.
Wasn't this Yuan Shu's chief strategist?
In that case, Yuan Shu and the Southern Xiongnu had already colluded?
He did not know how to annihilate the Southern Xiongnu.
And now, there was a heaven-sent opportunity in front of him.
If they could enter Pingyang County, it would be much easier to deal with them.
Qin Lie smiled faintly.
"Azure Dragon, go now and kidnap Yang Hong.”
"Here!"
Azure Dragon respectfully responded.
Then, he brought a few Embroidered Uniform Guards and left in a hurry.
Qin Lie was overjoyed.
When he was sleepy, a pillow came.
If they could take down Yang Hong, it would be a piece of cake for them to enter Pingyang County.
After a quarter of an hour, the Azure Dragon galloped over on his fast horse.
A scholar was tied to his horse.
The scholar's hair was white, and he had a sage-like aura.
However, he was in a sorry state now.
The Azure Dragon brought the scholar to Qin Lie.
"My lord, Yang Hong is here."
Yang Hong snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Qin Lie sized up Yang Hong and smiled.
"Mr. Yang, you have come all the way from Nanyang.”
Yang Hong suddenly turned his head and asked in surprise.
"You know me?"
Qin Lie smiled and nodded.
"Mister Yang is the number one strategist under Yuan Shu.”
"Of course I have."
Yang Hong looked at Qin Lie and felt that Qin Lie was extraordinary.
He frowned.
"Who are you?"
"I can tell from your bearing that you are not a simple person.”
"My name is Qin Lie, and I am now the Governor of Hanoi.”
"Isn't the Governor of Hanoi Wang Kuang?"
Yang Hong's face was filled with doubt.
Qin Lie said lightly.
"The former prefect Wang Kuang did not abandon me and passed the position of prefect of Hanoi Prefecture to me before he died.”
"Wang Kuang is dead?"
Yang Hong was very surprised.
However, he immediately muttered.
"Presumably, it was done by the Southern Xiongnu?"
"Not bad." Qin Lie nodded.
Yang Hong sighed.
He stared at Qin Lie for a while.
He had mixed feelings.
He didn't agree with Yuan Shu's alliance with the South Xiongnu.
In his opinion, the Southern Xiongnu had allied with them because they were plotting something.
However, since Yuan Shu insisted on doing so, he was helpless.
After a long time, Yang Hong frowned.
"I wonder why Governor Qin kidnapped me here?
"Could it be that you want to avenge Mayor Wang?”
"Yes and no."
Qin Lie stood with his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of Pingyang County.
"I've come here to kill the Southern Xiongnu.”
Yang Hong was shocked.
Slaughtering the Southern Xiongnu?
What an arrogant tone.
Even someone as strong as Yuan Shao, who had control of Hebei and Bing, couldn't wipe out the Southern Xiongnu.
Not to mention this mere prefect of Hanoi County.
Furthermore, Qin Lie had just taken over Hanoi County.
He probably couldn't even control the troops of Hanoi County.
Yang Hong frowned slightly.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Yu Fuluo about this?”
"Haha…"
Qin Lie chuckled.
"Mister Yang is a smart man."
"Do you think I will give you this chance?”
Yang Hong sighed.
He knew that since Qin Lie dared to tell him this, he must have been fully prepared.
That's true!
He was alone now, so how could he have the capital to resist?
Yang Hong smiled bitterly.
"Governor Qin, you know that my lord is Yuan Shu.”
"Now that my lord is cooperating with the Xiongnu, I will not attack the Southern Xiongnu.”
"Even if you capture me, it's useless.”
Qin Lie did not answer.
He only gently stroked the hilt of the sword.
"Do you know why I want to slaughter the Southern Xiongnu?”
For some reason, Yang Hong subconsciously replied.
"Why?"
"The Xiongnu plundered many counties of my Hanoi County and even killed the people of the Central Plains to build the capital.”
"Such behavior is a huge provocation to China.”
A majestic aura spread out from Qin Lie's body.
His voice was cold.
"As a Chinese man, how can I sit idly by!”
He suddenly turned around and stared straight at Yang Hong.
A violent aura completely enveloped Yang Hong.
Yang Hong's heart was beating wildly.
Ever since he was born, he had never met anyone with such a dignified and domineering aura.
Even his lord, Yuan Shu, could not be compared to him.
Yang Hong forced himself to calm down.
His face was rather gloomy.
"Governor Qin, is what Governor Qin said true about the incident at the Capital Temple?”
Zhao Yun stepped forward and cupped her hands at Yang Hong.
"I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan under the lord.”
"There are many things about the Jing Temple on the way from Hedong County to Henei County.”
"When I was traveling there, I saw quite a few.”
Yang Hong clenched his fists, his eyes cold.
"Yu Fuluo, how dare you!”
"You actually dare to use the heads of the people of the Central Plains to build the capital!”
He gritted his teeth and cupped his hands at Qin Lie.
"Governor Qin, how can I cooperate with you?”
