Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 433: Spear Master Zhang Xiu, surrounded

It was precisely because of his help that the already powerful Xixian Royal Court became the undisputed number one among the five royal courts, and the Xixian King became the king of the five kings, making it even more difficult for them, who were already inferior to the Xixian Royal Court, to catch up with it. So, in a sense, his words were the same as those of the Xixian King, which made everyone shut up.

"King Dongxian, it's not your turn to speak. If you dare to say one more word, do you believe that I will personally lead the troops to your King Dongxian's court?"

The man spoke in a loud and stern tone, as if he would not allow anyone to question him.

"The meeting continues."

The Western Wise King spoke up to finish the story for the general. As expected, after being warned by the general and the Western Wise King, the Eastern Wise King became much more obedient. He listened quietly to the Central Wise King's account of the Han cavalry he had seen under his command. Although the Eastern Wise King was puffing his beard and glaring, he did not dare to interrupt.

"Since we have confirmed that there are Han Chinese invading, let's solve the problem of outsiders first. After solving the problem of outsiders, we can close the door and solve our own problems."

King Xixian made his final judgment and then pointed at the Han general standing beside him.

"As for the specific deployment of the barracks, you can just follow Zhang Xiu's orders."

The Zhongxian King and his companions, including the Dongxian King, all stood up, bowed and clasped their hands in the direction of the Xixian King, and then turned their gazes to the Han general beside them, ready to listen to his advice. Unexpectedly, the general had no intention of saying anything and stood up like the Xixian King.

"I don't care how you stop the enemy, and I don't care how you win. But if you can't even stop the enemy and let only 20,000 cavalry march straight into our hinterland, then your so-called royal court will have no need to exist. At that time, I will first drive out the Han people, and then go through your territory one by one."

The threat from Zhang Xiu was chilling. The backs of the three people including Zhongxian King were already soaked with cold sweat. In the past few years, they had witnessed the development of the Xixian King's court. Faced with such a blatant threat, they all panicked, fearing that they would be liquidated and that a disaster would befall them.

"Don't worry, King Xixian. With me here, I will definitely defeat the Han people. King Nanxian's soldiers are just like chickens and dogs. They are not even as good as the soldiers from the small tribes under my command. How can they go to the battlefield and stop the Han cavalry?"

The Eastern Wise King patted his chest and made a promise, his eyes full of heat. He heard his own hope for the future in the other party's threat. If the Central Wise King and the Northern Wise King failed to stop the invasion of the Han people, or if he solved the matter before them, then according to the Western Wise King and Zhang Xiu's wishes, could he annex the forces of the Central Wise King or the Northern Wise King?
The Southern Wise Royal Court no longer exists. If the Central Wise Royal Court and the Northern Wise Royal Court repeat the same mistake, then the Xiongnu will only be left with me and the Western Wise Royal Court. By then, even if I can't be the boss, being second would not be bad either.

Thinking of this, King Dongxian could hardly sit still. He wanted to return to his territory as soon as possible, and then gather troops to drive out all those invading Han people so that he could carry out his grand ambitions. He couldn't wait to see that scene.

After the Western Wise King and Zhang Xiu had both walked out, the Eastern Wise King immediately stood up and walked in the opposite direction, his eyes full of passion. The four court kings behind him followed his footsteps closely.

"Now, immediately, mobilize your troops, as well as the troops of the small tribes under your jurisdiction, and gather them all at the border of the Southern Sage King's Court! I want all those Han people to die before they meet the Zhongxian King and his men!"

"No, my lord!"

The four men took the order and rushed towards the direction of the Dongxian royal court. They knew the temper of their Chanyu very well. If anyone dared to delay his plan this time, they would die without knowing how they did it. None of the four wanted to be the first to stand out, so they ran faster than the other, fearing that they would be left behind.

Looking at the people speeding away, King Dongxian curled up a strange smile at the corner of his mouth. This smile fell into the eyes of netizens in the live broadcast room, and they began to complain.

"This Dongxian King is a complete traitor. I know without even looking at him that this thing is definitely not a good thing."

"That can't be said. After all, who wants to be under someone else's control for a long time? Just like what Lu Bu said, a real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and under someone else's control for a long time! The King of Dongxian is still so young, it's normal for him to be a little bit more aggressive. If a young man doesn't have aggressiveness, can he still be called a young man?"

"In fact, even if the Eastern Wise King wanted to rebel, I don't think he has the strength to do so. Just look at how he was held hostage by the Western Wise King and Zhang Xiu. He was so helpless. At best, he can only take down the Central Wise King and the Northern Wise King. He certainly won't dare to lay hands on the Western Wise King's territory."

"There should be a story behind Zhang Xiu. A Han Chinese came to the Xiongnu's territory, but ended up becoming the second Chanyu. This is an inspirational story no matter how you look at it."

Netizens in the live broadcast room commented on Zhang Xiu and King Dongxian, two people who stood out among the Xiongnu people. Most people felt that King Dongxian was a complete traitor, while Zhang Xiu was a general with his own story.

On the screen of the live broadcast room, King Xixian was sitting opposite Zhang Xiu.

"Zhang Xiu, who do you think is in charge of the invasion this time?"

The King of the West did not have any aura of a superior when talking to Zhang Xiu; it was more like a conversation between friends and brothers.

Zhang Xiu was neither humble nor arrogant in front of the King of the West.

"Brother Bao, the Han Dynasty has declined in recent years, but now it has suddenly launched an attack on us. I'm afraid its purpose is not too simple. Recently, the conquests of several major princes in the Central Plains have intensified. Some time ago, Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei with the help of the forces in the Western Regions. The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva and Ma Chao in the Western Regions were both defeated. Liu Zhang is far away in the southwest, and Sun Jian and Shi Xie are far away in the southeast. I guess only Cao Cao has the time and energy to come to our territory to cause trouble."

"Cao Cao, the current Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty? The territory he controls is not close to us, so why would he go so far to deal with us? If anyone came, he should be under Liu Bei's command."

The Western Xian King was even more confused after hearing this. Since Zhang Xiu came to the Xiongnu territory, the strength of the Western Xian King's court has grown by leaps and bounds. In addition, the work of buying off the Han people and transmitting intelligence led by Zhang Xiu has been carried out perfectly. This means that once there is any disturbance in the Central Plains, they will know it at the first time. Therefore, the Western Xian King did not doubt Zhang Xiu's speculation, but was simply confused and could not understand why Cao Cao would make things difficult for them.

"Yes, according to the description of the Zhongxian King, the Han warrior used a two-handed short halberd. As far as I can remember, only Dian Wei under Cao Cao used this weapon. In addition, the war just ended, and Liu Bei suffered heavy losses. He should not have the extra strength to attack us."

"Did you ever fight Dian Wei when you were in Liang Province?"

The name of the Western Wise King was Liu Bao. Compared with the names of several other kings, his name sounded more like a Han Chinese, but he was actually a thorough Hun. It was only because his ancestors had been conquered by a Han emperor and then sincerely surrendered that he was given the surname by that emperor, and the surname has been passed down ever since.

"We have never fought each other, but I heard that Dian Wei chopped off Ma Teng's head. Ma Teng's strength was just so-so. He could not last more than three rounds in my hands. When I came, Ma Chao was still a young man who had not yet reached adulthood. His strength was similar to Ma Teng's. Dian Wei was able to kill Ma Teng in Liangzhou, so he must have defeated Ma Chao. Overall, Dian Wei's strength should be lower than you and me, but higher than the King of the East Court."

Zhang Xiu told his analysis, but what he knew were only situations from several years ago. As for the current development, he could only infer based on what he knew before.

Liu Bao nodded.

"If that's the case, they should be able to handle it. However, with their strength, they shouldn't be able to take down King Nanxian so quickly."

Although the two of them had some doubts in their hearts, they did not care too much. Even if the opponent was very strong and King Dongxian and his men were defeated and ended up in a draw, they still had the two of them to back them up in the end. They had absolute confidence that they could deal with all hostile forces.

Zhang Xiu also had absolute confidence in his own strength. He originally followed Zhang Ji, his uncle, in Liangzhou. After Zhang Ji's death, he took over Zhang Ji's position. It was at this time that Gu Rubing and others entered this world. Ma Teng and Dong Zhuo were both replaced. The two of them worked together to swallow up Zhang Xiu's forces. As a result, Zhang Xiu ended up leaving Liangzhou alone and came to the territory of the Huns. Finally, with his superb spear skills, he carved out a piece of his own sky in the Huns.

On the other side, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, who had dealt with the six thousand captains and their forces, went straight into the heartland of Wuhuan. The first person they met was the third Chanyu of Wuhuan, Tadun, the third brother of the great Chanyu of Wuhuan and one of the two first-class generals of Wuhuan. At the same time, the second Chanyu Kebi Neng in the north of Wuhuan was also rushing towards the south. The two of them wanted to join forces to surround Ma Chao and his men and annihilate them in one fell swoop!
Kebi Neng and Tadun were both the most powerful generals in the Wuhuan tribe. They were both first-rate generals and had lived on the grassland since childhood. They were instilled with the idea that the Han Dynasty was their enemy. Therefore, they had no good feelings towards the Han Dynasty. The harassment on the border of Bingzhou was planned by these two people. Not to mention the invasion of the Han Dynasty, they were furious and thought it was a provocation to their Wuhuan tribe.

The Han Dynasty had been in decline for a long time, and coupled with the infighting among the princes, not many people cared about these things on the border. Over the past few decades, the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other ethnic groups no longer had any awe of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty was now nothing more than a tiger without blood and teeth to them.

But one day, this tiger, which was obviously very old and had completely lost its vitality, suddenly showed its sharp fangs and stung them severely. This made the wolves, who thought the tiger was about to die, very angry, and they all wanted to break the fangs of the dying tiger to prove themselves.

Now they are no longer afraid of the tiger, but want to get something from this tiger to prove their strength. The Xiongnu, Xianbei and Wuhuan are the three wolves to the north of the declining tiger of the Han Dynasty.

Tadun had already lined up his 40,000 cavalrymen in front of a small hill south of the Wuhuan royal city. Among these nomadic peoples in the north, there were no infantrymen, only cavalrymen. In the vast grasslands, there might be only one tribe hundreds of miles apart. In this case, if they relied on infantry to fight, they would run themselves to death and would not encounter many tribes in total.

Therefore, their troops have always been equipped with cavalry as standard, and where they are located, there is lush grass everywhere, and coupled with the nomadic tradition, they have no shortage of horses. Just pick a small tribe and they may be able to gather hundreds or thousands of horses. What they really lack is armor.

Their smelting technology was backward and they had no iron ore resources. Their armor could only be obtained by trading with the Han Dynasty, including rewards from the Han Dynasty in the past and plunder from wars with the Han Dynasty. On the grassland, if they saw a well-equipped cavalry with everyone in armor, they should not hesitate, but turn around and run, because that must be the elite troops of some large tribe.

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao now encountered such an elite force, which had about 10,000 cavalrymen. Everyone was wearing armor and holding spears made of fine iron. The shining iron armor and sharp spear blades all symbolized that this force was different from the 6,000 people they had encountered before.

"I am Tadun Chanyu. You have entered my territory and wantonly slaughtered my people. What do you want to do?"

A sturdy man holding a big knife in the lead said that these nobles often learn the Han language from birth, so they can basically speak it.

"Tadun? Old General Han Sheng, this is one of them, right?"

Ma Chao rubbed his hands together and looked at Tadun eagerly, as if in the next moment, Ma Chao would ride his horse forward and kill Tadun.

"That should be the case. According to the intelligence collected by the lord, this Tadun seems to be one of the strongest Wuhuan."

Huang Zhong recalled Gu Rubing's instructions before he came here, and said with certainty. At the same time, he unconsciously tightened the Eight Treasures Kirin Bow in his hand. The quiver on his waist was already tilted. Huang Zhong pressed the quiver with his right hand. If anything went wrong, this posture and the direction of the quiver would allow him to draw the arrow as quickly as possible, complete the action of drawing the bow and putting the arrow on it, and thus launch an attack.

Ma Chao also tightly grasped the tiger-head golden spear, and looked at the ten thousand elite cavalrymen and Tadun holding a broadsword in front of him with shining eyes.

Seeing that the other party did not respond to him, Tadun no longer waited. He waved his hand, and the 30,000 cavalry hidden nearby suddenly emerged from the east and west directions and began to slowly move towards Ma Chao and his men.

"What a fierce battle!"

Ma Chao said excitedly that dealing with foreign soldiers was what he was best at. Although he had fought against the Huns before and was now facing the Wuhuan, it didn't make a difference.
