Chapter 138 Arrogance
"Cross the river, cross the river, cross the river!"

At the Zhidao Ferry (today's Jinjin Ancient Ferry in Baotou, Inner Mongolia), the sky was clear and hundreds of ferries were rafting on the river, ready to go.

On the shore, Chen Zhi led eight hundred soldiers to escort Hong'er, while Hu Ji, Xiaochun and other family members said goodbye to the soldiers led by Su Yao.

The soldiers crossing the river will go straight to Huanglong and attack the Xiongnu royal court with a different goal.

Hong'er and others will take the lead in taking the previous prisoners of war and rich loot overland, returning to Jinyang along the original route.

It is not only to prepare for the victory return to Beijing to prepare for the prisoner presentation ceremony, but also to continue the ethnic integration work of resettling women and children along the way.

It can only be said that there were too many people caught this time, and the bachelors in Wuyuan couldn't digest them all. Su Yao didn't want to send them all to the palace for sacrifice, so he asked Hong'er and the others to go all the way to arrange them. Consider it a contribution to regional prosperity.

In short, without further ado, Su Yao, who had completed his mission of sweeping the north bank of the Yellow River, finally turned his attention to the south bank, where they found the last enemy of their trip.

The arrogant new Chanyu—Xubuguduhou Chanyu.

"Chanyu, the Han army has begun to cross the river!"

"Um"

The old trespasser looked at the shadow of the boat in the river in the distance, his eyes dark.

There is no way out.

Subunye admitted that when he was just a Guduhou and sat on the throne of Shanyu, he was excited.

Even though he knew that he was just a product of compromise at the tribal assembly, the noble Chanyu still exuded endless temptation.

However, who would have known that Dameng woke up so quickly that he was caught off guard, and that the Chanyu throne would be so hot on his ass.

In just over a month, King Xiutu, who had supported him to ascend to the throne, was crippled, King Zuoxian was directly overthrown, and the barrier on the north bank of the Yellow River was swept away.

That wandering prince Yuvluo actually came back with the heavenly soldiers!
And the terrible thing is that these people do not accept the invitation at all.

Obviously he had agreed to resume tribute and give up the pastures on the north bank, but the bloodthirsty governor, like a wolf that couldn't be fed, only accepted unconditional surrender.

The battle is no longer one that can be ended by giving up the throne.

"Father, there is no need to panic."

Subdan beat his chest with one hand and saluted.

"The Han army is in great power and sweeping across Hebei. Naturally, they will not easily agree to any conditions."

"But, as the saying goes, a proud soldier will be defeated."

Subdan pointed to the river bank in the distance

“This man dared to cross the river in front of our army.

Now is the time to strike halfway across.

As long as they are defeated once and their energy is dampened, these Han soldiers will naturally know how powerful they are.

At that time, it will not be me who will go to him to sue for peace, but he will come to us. "

"Um"

Xu Bu Shanyu groaned. There is nothing wrong with what his son said.

The intention of these Han troops to cross the river was very obvious. They had been convinced early, and thanks to the civil strife among their compatriots in the north and the Han people, they also had enough time to deploy their troops and generals.

This time, in addition to the 2,000 cavalry from the Luan Ti tribe sent to monitor Yufuluo, the right wing of the Southern Huns mobilized an army of 8,000 cavalry to the south of the direct crossing. There were even 200 royal guards and Ten eagle shooters assisted in the battle.

It can be said that all the elites were sent out to wait for work, and the camp was set up five miles behind the ferry on the south bank in advance.

According to the scouts' reports, although the Han soldiers also recruited a team of 6,000 people, their ships were limited and could only carry up to 700 or 800 people at a time.

Since ancient times, striking halfway has been a magic weapon for defeating the strong with the weak.

Not to mention that they went all out this time, both in terms of numbers and quality, far surpassing those Han soldiers.

Xu Bu Shanyu stared at the river and saw thousands of boats racing across the river. The first wave of Han soldiers had reached the center of the river.

The two armies are not too far apart, and both sides can visually see each other.

However, the Han soldiers still went their own way and acted arrogantly. Didn't they even pay attention to the eight thousand cavalry on the other side?

Were the Han troops sent to die?

Obviously not.

Seeing this scene, Xu Bu Shanyu's first thought was the bizarre rumor: "Their Nasu Governor."

"Father, you don't believe those exaggerated rumors, do you?"

Subdan sighed. His father became a danyu, but he seemed to have suddenly lost all his courage. He was always suspicious and cautious.

This disappointed him.

Chanyu, shouldn't he be the bravest and most powerful man among the Hu people? He should set an example and lead everyone to victory.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to the family?

Since the father cannot do well, then as the son, he should work harder to perform better:

“The legend of the red-robed heavenly general is all a trick of the Han people.

They love to be so exaggerated that they are invincible and invincible. "

"Even if that governor has great abilities, I think he can't do anything in front of this chasm.

Their people could only come in batches to die.

This is such an arrogant way of not taking us seriously at all.

This is the cause of his defeat! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Subdan held his head high and held his chest high.

"My child is willing to be the vanguard. When he is halfway across the border, he will lead the attack and get the general's head for Chanyu!"

Xubu Shanyu stared at Xubutan, his middle-aged son's face was filled with boyish excitement.

Yeah, there won't be a better opportunity.

Now that the sky is clear, the cavalry can give full play to their greatest advantage, and it is the right time for a battle.

But the Han army came across the river. In the early stage, they could only transport soldiers without horses, so they had to add fuel to cross the river.

Xu Bu Shanyu looked around again. The river not only slowed down the pace of the Han soldiers, but also blocked the spread of rumors. Only a small number of well-informed upper-class people knew about it, and most of them were regarded as exaggerated rumors.

Therefore, all the soldiers here have excitement on their faces.

They believe that this battle will be won!
Military spirit is available!

So what else can Xu Bu Chanyu say?

Here, now, here.

It can be said that the right time, right place, right people and all the people are on their side.

If they can't win this way, then they don't need to fight anymore.

And if he wins and deals a severe blow to the Han army, then his throne will be completely secure.

From now on, the Subu clan will become a truly one-of-a-kind tribe in Henan.

Xu Bu Shanyu nodded firmly and handed the sword to his son.

"Let those rebels who are attached to Han pay the price.

No one who crosses the river will be left behind! "

"Isn't it too reckless to cross the river like this?" Yuan Shao frowned.

During the busy race of thousands of boats on the river, Yuan Shao and Wang Rou sat on a small boat and quietly watched the battle.

He didn't understand, and was even extremely surprised.

Could it be that Governor Su, who was victorious all the way, didn't know the art of war?
How could we just forcefully cross the Yellow River in front of the dark enemy army?
Is it really that the fight was too easy all the way and you got carried away?
What puzzled him even more was that in the face of such a crisis, the general next to him did not stop him.

Instead, he looked like he was just waiting to see what would happen.

Now that the first wave of people has landed, the ferry has returned, and the soldiers on the south bank have no way to retreat.

"General Wang, this is going to happen."

Wang Rou shook her head:

"I'm afraid it's the other side that will suffer. They are still waiting for our troops to gather. They are so arrogant and want to die."
