I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 116 We voted
Su Yao pointed his sword at King Zuoxian of Jiuyuan.

After a short rest, the troops immediately set out to attack.

After integrating the Zahu tribe and handing them over to the leadership of Jin Fangyan, Su Yao took out his staff again. Hu Haotong drew 50 Han cavalry and hundreds of civilians from Yunzhong County, and the scale of the combatable troops also increased. More than 4000 people arrived.

[Han Bingzhou Knights: 51 (Cheng Lian) 83 (Zhang Liao)

Hun Cavalry Archer: 2773 (Hufro)

Grassland Nomads: 1321 (Jin Fangyan)]

Su Yao looked behind him. People of different colors and races were united under his banner.

Looking at the excited and determined faces, Su Yao suddenly had an illusion.

At this moment, it seems that it is not the end of the Han Dynasty that is about to collapse, but the peak of the Han and Tang Dynasties in Weijiahai.

When Su Yao sighed, the crowd naturally did not stop. They drove the captured cattle, sheep and horses, and pushed carts of supplies, and marched swaggering towards the seat of Jiuyuan County and Wuyuan County.

Looking at the growing team, Yuvluo couldn't help but feel a little worried at the same time.

King Zuo Xian is currently in charge of Wuyuan City, and there are probably more than 10,000 people there.

After he learned of such a disastrous defeat, he was afraid that he would not attack easily again, but how should Governor Su deal with it?

If there was really a hard-fought attack, the more than 4,000 of them would probably be beaten to death. Not to mention whether they could win by then, even if they won, the tragic casualty ratio in the siege would definitely affect their future. The Royal Court's plan to march.

After all, the arrogant Chanyu in the royal court obviously cannot give up his throne easily.

But it seemed that Governor Su didn't take the coming siege seriously at all. Yuvroud could only hope that he was overly worried.

No, could it be that Governor Su marched with such a swagger just to seduce King Zuo Xian into a surprise attack?

I don't understand.

Yufro looked at the expressionless and silent Su Yao, without any clue.

So how would King Zuo Xian react in the face of Su Yao's swaggering march?

The answer is no response…

In other words, it has been overreacted.

King Zuo Xian suffered a stroke and fell unconscious!

"Hu Yanjun, it's all your fault!"

The eldest prince of King Zuo Xian, Hu Yanming, stood in front of his father's bedside and angrily scolded the second prince Hu Yanjun in public:

"You have ten thousand soldiers, but you only brought back less than two thousand?
He abandoned his helmet and armor, lost his troops and generals, and even hurt his father, who suffered from a headache and fell unconscious.

You were still defeated by that good-for-nothing Yu Fulogan, why do you have the nerve to come back? ! "

As he spoke, Hu Yanming handed over the scimitar:

“Both unfilial and incompetent.

You can commit suicide and don't embarrass our Huyan family again. "

Hu Yanjun's face turned green, knowing that his half-brother wanted to force him to death so that he could eliminate his competitor.

This lame Hu Yanming has no other abilities, but he is quite capable of jealousy.

The two brothers have been fighting openly and secretly for several years. This time, Hu Yanjun was afraid that he would find a reason to trick him after the defeat, so he ran back as hard as he could.

However, he didn't expect that this incident would actually cause his father to have a headache. It was really hateful.

To say that victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists, why was the dignified King Zuoxian so excited by this defeat that he lost consciousness?

In addition to the fact that he is older and suffers from a headache, the more critical reason is that this blow was too severe.

To explain this clearly, we have to forget about the victory of the army as mentioned before.

The so-called victorious soldier, as the name suggests, means a soldier who is competent enough.

He is fundamentally different from a soldier, meaning the maximum amount of troops that can be recruited.

After the Huns advanced in culture and began to organize the people into households, they began to use accounts as households, and each household had a quota of one and a half people.

In total, they only had more than 40,000 tents and more than 70,000 victorious troops.

As the largest tribe today, King Zuo Xian has more than 11,000 accounts in the pastoral areas on the north bank of the Yellow River, and his two thousand cavalry establishment can only win more than 16,000 soldiers. This is the limit. It is obviously impossible to recruit all the herdsmen as soldiers in normal times.

Therefore, the number of soldiers mobilized for this round of battle was only a little over ten thousand, and the 7000 cavalry sent to Yunzhong, led by Hu Yanjun, were all fighting soldiers, accounting for most of the total.

More than five thousand people were killed in one fell swoop, which was really heartbreaking.

It's no wonder that King Zuo Xian, who was already suffering from chronic illness, fell ill and could no longer take care of the two brothers' household affairs.

However, as soon as he lay down, he directly led their group into the abyss of crisis.

Seeing the two princes standing in front of the hospital bed arguing endlessly, everyone in the Huyan family resented Lao Wang, and it would be better to just die.

Why are they so resentful and curse their wise master?
It's very simple. King Zuo Xian made no mistakes in his life. The biggest mistake he made when he died was not handling his funeral affairs well.

Two princes, the eldest prince has the right to inherit the throne, but he fell off a horse and broke his leg when he was young. He is a lame and has difficulty convincing the public.

The second prince was heroic and accomplished, and had great prestige but had no right to inherit.

Yes, there is no right of inheritance. The second prince is the son of a slave and is not worthy of inheriting the throne.

Yes, they Huns also learned from the Han people and played with the eldest son inheritance method.

This is all due to the lessons learned from the tragedy of the split between the northern and southern Huns in the past.

In order to give his favorite underage children a chance to become a Chanyu, Wang Zhaojun's Hu Hanxie Shanyu suddenly had an idea and played the trick of becoming a brother.

I just hope that my brothers can take a turn to give Shan Yu his treasures after they are done.

However, this selfish change ultimately led to disaster at the hands of another selfish person.

Unwilling to continue the brotherhood, he wanted to pass on the new chanyu to his son, which aroused public outrage.

The princes, each with a claim to the throne and feeling that it was their turn, started a brutal civil war.

In the end, they walked hand in hand and split into the northern and southern Xiongnu, consciously helping the Han to completely solve the problem of centuries-old enemies in the north.

So with this painful and bloody lesson, they, the descendants of the Southern Huns, also learned from the experience of the Han Dynasty.

But now, their Zuoxianwang tribe is facing a crisis again.

The old king is still alive, and the eldest prince’s reputation is not justified.

Ordinarily, at this critical moment, the second prince could have used his prestige and military power to force the eldest prince to submit, but he lost almost all his wealth in a defeat.

There are now nearly 6000 soldiers in Wuyuan City, including for the eldest prince Hu Yanming, nearly for the second prince Hu Yanjun, and the remaining troops directly under King Zuoxian are wavering, fearing that the old king will wake up and deal with them and cause chaos.

So now the two princes are evenly matched in Wuyuan City, and neither one can do anything to the other.

All we could do was start an endless war of words.

"I'm warning you, Hu Yanming!
Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, the new Han governor will arrive at the city with Yuvluo and others at any time.

We must mobilize everyone to defend this place, or they will kill us all! "

Hu Yanjun howled in anxiety. Although he was a general leading thousands of horses, the power to mobilize troops was in the hands of his father, King Zuo Xian, and now it was in the hands of the eldest prince Hu Yanming.

However, if troops could not be mobilized, they would rely on these 6000 people to defend the city. To be honest, Hu Yanjun did not have much confidence.

He had seen with his own eyes how Su Yao was killing everyone in the formation, and also knew how Guduhou died, so he was so anxious.

"We have a strong Han city to use, and there are six thousand soldiers in the city. How can there be any danger to the Yufuluo tribe and some miscellaneous men who defend less than five thousand people?
I think you are just looking for reasons for your failure and deliberately exaggerating your opponents.

We have mobilized enough herdsmen this time, do we really need to mobilize all the people? Just deal with less than 5,000 people? "

But the eldest prince Hu Yanming completely ignored Hu Yanjun's hoarse warning.

In his opinion, Hu Yanjun wanted to use the mobilization order to mobilize more people into the city.

Hu Yanming was very aware of his influence in the hearts of the herdsmen. When the time came, he really encouraged him and caused trouble. He told Yanming not to talk about the throne, and he was afraid that his life would be in danger.

So, listening to this younger brother keep talking about danger, danger, danger, Hu Yanming slapped the table

"Shut up, if it's really as dangerous as you say, then we won't fight. We'll surrender!"

"what?!"
