The great man will live forever

Chapter 61 Respect him like a god

After deciding the time to surrender and contacting Huo Qubing, King Hunxie and King Xiutu came to the edge of the Yellow River with their army and set up camp. They had a total of [-] troops.

Huo Qubing led his troops to the edge of the Yellow River in Jincheng and set up camp.The Han flag was fluttering in the wind. The Han army and the Xiongnu were several miles away and looked at each other from a distance. Huo Qubing and Liu Han saw the battle flag of King Hunxie, but not the royal flag of King Xiutu.

"Why didn't you see King Xiutu's royal flag?"

Liu Han was a little confused, and Huo Qubing's expression changed.

"Zhao Ponu, you immediately lead people to survey the surroundings. If you find an ambush, report it immediately."

"promise!"

Zhao Ponu left with hundreds of cavalry.

At this time, in King Xiutu's tent, King Hunxie walked in angrily, with a sword hanging on his waist.

"Why are you retreating and not raising the flag? What are you going to do? Everything has been settled. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty also gave us his jade as a token. This is the jade they used to worship heaven. Now you want to regret it. ?"

King Hunxie said, took out the jade and showed it to King Xiutu.

"Why are you showing it to me now? King Hunxie, we are both kings, and we have roughly the same number of armies. Do you want to take the lead behind my back?"

Faced with King Xiutu's accusation, King Hunxie immediately argued, "My conscience, I have never thought of this. The Great Chanyu wants to kill both of us. We are grasshoppers on a rope."

Seeing that there were not many Han soldiers and various reasons, King Xiutu regretted it and did not want to surrender.

"Whether Dadan really wants to kill us is just your speculation."

"Oh, brother, you can't change your mind. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty agreed that we should turn herding into agriculture, and the land he gave us is better than what we originally asked for."

King Xiutu stared at him for a few times and said: "To tell you the truth, I have thought about it carefully these days. I am afraid that I will not be able to surrender to the captives after I have been a king all my life. I advise you to do the same. Don't surrender, the Han army on the opposite side is not even half as strong as ours, and we don't know who will win. If it doesn't work, we will withdraw."

"But can the Great Chanyu tolerate you and me?"

"Hahaha!" King Xiutu laughed loudly, "If I give the jade wall that the Han people gave you to the Great Chanyu, and of course your head, do you think he can accommodate me? Then I will say "Yes" Unify Hexi."

After King Xiutu finished speaking, he gave instructions to a subordinate next to him, "Listen, remove King Hunxie's sword and imprison him."

King Hunxie's face turned cold and he said sternly: "Don't regret it."

"It's my big account now, haha!" King Xiutu was very proud.

King Hunxie put down his sword, placing it very cleverly, right at his feet. Seeing that King Hunxie was almost ready to capture him, King Xiutu continued to laugh, "How could I regret it? You are the one who regrets it."

"Bah!"

"what!"

King Hunxie took advantage of them not paying attention, pulled out the short knife hidden in his sleeve, and plunged it into the chest of the Hun soldier next to him. King Xiutu's expression changed greatly.

"Come on."

He called twice, but no one came.

"The tents outside are all mine, so you can go in peace."

King Hunxie kicked up the sword next to his feet, "Whoa!" He pulled out the long sword and slashed King Xiutu's throat very neatly. In an instant, blood spattered everywhere. He turned around and walked out of the tent, summoning King Xiutu’s tribe shouted loudly,
"You all listen, the Great Chanyu sent people to assassinate King Xiutu. I have executed the assassin on the spot. Now follow me and surrender to the Han army. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has rewarded us with land and pasture. We will never have to wander around again. .”

"Don't talk nonsense. Why would the Great Chanyu send people to assassinate King Xiutu? If we don't surrender, let's go. We will never be the lackeys of the Han people."

The kings of several small tribes retorted and wanted to retreat with their troops. They also wanted to kill King Hunxie, but they did not have the strength, so they chose to retreat. There were still some people who were hesitant.

King Hunxie shouted, "Hold them!"

In an instant, the entire Xiongnu camp was in chaos. King Hunxie tried his best to comfort him, but to no avail.

On the opposite side, seeing the Huns army in chaos, Huo Qubing's face turned cold.
"Has Zhao Ponu come back?"

"not yet."

"I can't care about so much anymore. Brother Liu, keep an eye on the army. I'll take someone over to take a look."

"Drive!" After Huo Qubing said this, he took a dozen soldiers, separated from the main army, and rushed towards the Xiongnu camp.

"Wait a minute, you don't want your life. What if this is their trap?"

Liu Han hurriedly chased after him. He was really worried about Huo Qubing. Even though he knew about history, he didn't know everything. He only knew that Huo Qubing was invincible in every battle. He was an illegitimate son, and he died early. Huo Guang, a powerful younger brother, has almost forgotten everything else. Who knew this would happen?
If he had known that he could time travel, he would have memorized the history of the Western Han Dynasty so well that he could memorize that year, that day, and what that person did. Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity anymore. It is the most rare thing in life. It's better to know earlier.His arrival will definitely affect history, but it is not big yet, but what if there is a butterfly effect and Huo Qubing goes in and is killed? That is an army of [-] Huns.

You must know that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked him when he came to be surrendered, he swore that there would be no fraud. If there was really a fraud, what would he say when he went back? He was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"The army is in chaos. I guess some of them may regret it, but some of them are sincere. They can't keep me. Don't worry, keep an eye on the army. If there is danger, retreat."

Liu Han wanted to rush over with him, but with tens of thousands of troops behind him, he was gone too. Who would take command?
Zhao Ponu was not here, and the others like Gao Wushi were all surrendered by the Huns. They did not have enough prestige, and they were worried. If he and Huo Qubing were killed, and the army had no one to command, and the Huns came again, the entire army would be wiped out.

"Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Bald Qiang, you follow up and protect General Hussar. If something goes wrong with him, don't come back."

"No!" The martial arts of these three disciples are quite good.

Liu Han immediately rode back and said, "Send my order and the whole army will be ready. Once I give the order, we will charge immediately to protect the hussar general."

The herald immediately passed on the order, and the whole army's nerves were tense. There were 7 of them and 5 on the opposite side. However, after two battles in Hexi, the Han army's prestige had been demonstrated, and it was basically based on Less is better than more, and they are not afraid at all.

Liu Han also stared at the opposite side, not daring to let go of the slightest sign of trouble.

Huo Qubing led his soldiers and rushed into the chaotic Huns camp. Anyone who dared to stop him was killed by him, and the Huns soldiers moved out of the way.

"Where is King Hunxie?"

He rode towards King Hunxie's banner, his eyes were about to spit out fire, and his voice sounded like thunder: "Where is King Hunxie? I am Huo Qubing, the general of the Han hussar, come out and see him."

His voice was mixed with the sound of wind, like the roar of a dragon and the roar of a tiger.

As soon as he rode out, with a loud roar, the gods retreated, and no evil could invade him. At this moment, he was the god of the battlefield, and everyone was in awe.

"I'm here, I'm King Hunxie, but General Hussar?" King Hunxie rode over immediately.

"I am, let me ask you, but do you really want to surrender?"

At this moment, King Hunxie really wanted to find his backbone. He was like a child who had done something wrong. He was no longer the decisive king of the grassland who could kill King Xiutu with one sword.

"I sincerely surrendered, but I couldn't control King Xiutu's men. If he went back on his word, I killed him."

In front of Huo Qubing, he was very obedient, like a domestic pet.

The Xiongnu respected heroes the most, and King Hunxie was willing to surrender because he was frightened by Huo Qubing.

Most of the tribal kings under King Hunxie were also willing to follow Hunxie and defect to Huo Qubing.

The merger of tribes on the grassland was a common occurrence. For them, Shan Yu, King Youxian, and Huo Qubing were all tribal kings, and it was natural for them to submit to whoever was stronger.

Most of Huo Qubing's subordinates were Huns. In the eyes of King Hunxie and others, Huo Qubing was a king. They did not understand what the system of prefectures and counties was.

"Okay." Huo Qubing comforted him, "Order your deployment to stay where you are, put down your weapons, and I will handle the rest."

He patted his chest, his eyes were firm, and his words were sincere, which seemed to have magic power.

"promise."

On the other side, at the Han army camp, Zhao Ponu finally returned.
Liu Han quickly asked, "How is it? Is there an ambush?"

"I checked around, nothing!"

"Now all the troops and horses are under your command. I will go see them and be ready to charge at any time."

"What happened, General Hussar?"

"Orders accepted."

"promise!"

"drive!"

Liu Han was still worried. When he saw Zhao Ponu coming back, he handed over the army to him and took a few more people with him to prepare to go to the Xiongnu camp.

Fortunately, Huo Qubing came back before we were even halfway there.

"I give you my order. Anyone who lays down his arms will not be killed and the Xiongnu will be destroyed. Anyone who does not surrender will be killed!" he shouted.

"kill!"

In an instant, all the troops mobilized to kill the fleeing and retreating tribe of King Xiutu!
