Chapter 368: Wuhuan Bandits Swear to Go to War, Su Junhou's Team Welcomes the Battle

Old stories of Jingguan? !
The faces of the leaders turned red or white in an instant, and many of them shouted at the top of their lungs.

“How arrogant!”

"It's simply too much!"

"How arrogant!"

Su Yao’s meaning is very simple.

If you admit defeat now and surrender quickly, cede land, pay compensation, confess your guilt and become a vassal, I will give you all better conditions and allow you to manage your own tribes.

If you continue to resist and wait for me to come in and take over, there will be no more conditions to negotiate. I will kill your entire family if I say so.

Such a straightforward ultimatum threat made these noble leaders furious.

For a moment, the sounds of shouting, cursing, and sword-drawing and banging the table were heard everywhere.

Some of the hot-blooded ones even shouted that they would fight to the death, and would rather die standing than live on their knees!
The other leaders echoed each other, and discussions continued. The entire meeting hall was filled with anger and dissatisfaction towards Su Yao.

"Fight, and fight to the bitter end!"

"It's just a few hundred people, right? What a jerk!"

"We are defending our homeland. Everyone must fight to the death. Even a spit from each of us can drown him!"

"Besides, the mountain is blocked by heavy snow and the roads are inconvenient. Let him come here. He'll freeze to death on the way!"

The last sentence spoken by the leaders who escaped back was truly full of tears.

During the two days of their retreat, tens of thousands of them froze to death, far more than those who died in battle, and the loss of livestock was innumerable.

It has started snowing in the mountains these days, making the roads even more difficult to travel on.

A few people might be able to cross it, but it would be extremely difficult for a large army and baggage to pass through.

Therefore, this season is not suitable for fighting.

"That Su guy, do you think we were brought up by being scared?!"

"Let him come, and I will make sure he never comes back!"

The crowd was excited and everyone responded.

At this moment, Tadun was the first to calm down:

"Everyone, please be patient."

"That Su guy is so arrogant and aggressive. If he really moved his troops to the valley, doesn't that mean we have a chance to take advantage of the team that is escorting the king?"

Lou Ban was stunned when he heard this, then he reacted, with a gleam in his eyes: "You mean..."

"This is a great opportunity!"

After repeatedly confirming from the messenger that Su Yao was right in front of him, Tadun clenched his fist and said:

"Send some men out to the valley entrance to set up camp, prepare to fight him head-on, and then we will quietly send our main force to attack their escort team and rescue the king!"

"Okay!" Lou Ban's face was excited, "Save the king and teach him a lesson!"

"This plan of Tadun is brilliant!"

Tadun's words made everyone's eyes light up and they all expressed their approval.

"This way, we can not only make the Han people retreat, but also save the king. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"

At this point, Lou Ban suddenly realized that all of a sudden, his brother Tadun had become the brightest star in everyone's eyes, and he himself had become a foil.

His face was grim, and after a pause, he added:
"Although this plan is good, we must also pay attention to the risks and make sure that the man surnamed Su is in front of us."

"If he suddenly appears when our army is taking action, it will be disastrous!" This is simply nonsense. Everyone here knows that we should keep a close eye on the guy named Su.

However, time is running out. Although the escort team is moving slowly, they only have a window of one or two days.

As a result, everyone nodded in agreement and started to plan their actions.

Eager for revenge, Tadun, who proposed the case, immediately selected capable warriors, walked through the southwest valley of Pinggang, and headed straight for the mountain road between Guanzi City and Lulong Pass to rescue Qiuliju.

Lou Ban sent out 3,000 men to set up camp at the mouth of the valley east of Pinggang. While confronting the Han army on the other side of the valley, he also sent out envoys to find out the truth in the name of negotiation in order to attract the attention of the Han army and create conditions for their rescue operation.

When they set out, everyone's heart was hanging in the air. Where was the general surnamed Su and whether he would take action became the key to determining their success in this battle.

"Lord Su, isn't this too risky?"

Qian Zhao said worriedly:
"If you do this, they will most likely take the bait."

"But what if they really eat the bait?"

Yes, this time, Su Yao did not ambush Qiuliju. He was actually in the front valley, leading the Wuhuan people to a head-on confrontation.

This arrangement shocked Qian Zhao, who came up with this plan.

An escort team of only a hundred people, led by Su Junhou.

Gongsun Zan also expressed his concerns about this:
"Yes, you only send so few people, what if something unexpected happens?"

However, in response to their concerns, Su Yao just stared at the snow-covered valley in front of him and smiled:

"Everyone, don't forget that it's not the quantity of soldiers that counts, but their quality."

"This heavy snow is an obstacle to our advance, and the same is true for rescuing the Wuhuan people."

"I have the Guan Zhang Zhaodian Group to deal with those defeated soldiers. What do I have to fear?"

"It would be fine if the Wuhuan people don't come, but if they dare to steal people, I will make them kowtow until their heads bleed!"

Qian Zhao and Gongsun Zan looked at each other, obviously still had many doubts about this so-called exaggerated group, but the matter was done and they could no longer support their teammates in the west on the journey. They could only wait and see the final result.

For them, the most important task at the moment was to build a forward camp in the valley and prepare to cross the valley and head straight into the heart of Wuhuan after the snow stopped.

While the Han army was busy preparing, Tadun had already selected his men.

Although Tadun and Louban had been fighting openly and secretly before, they chose to cooperate sincerely in the face of the aggressive and high-pressure situation of the Han people this time.

They each selected elite warriors from their tribes to form a team of nearly two thousand cavalrymen, led by Hao Duo, the warrior leader of the Louban faction, and Kulumu, the warrior leader of the Tadun faction, respectively. They gathered together under Tadun to carry out this rescue operation.

Among them, Hao Duo is a top-notch warrior among the remaining tribes. He is famous for his powerful dance with a big knife in his hand.

It is quite wrong that he exaggerated the ferocity of the Han army by describing the numerous tribes that were killed in the expedition.

This time I volunteered and took the initiative.

Although Kurumu was not particularly outstanding among the many tribal warriors in terms of bravery, he and many of the warriors he led had an extremely strong desire to fight.

After learning that Su Yao was not there and that their target was only a team led by an unknown boy named Zhao, Kulumu and the Wuhuan warriors who had suffered defeat in previous battles ignited a raging fire of revenge.

After all, failure came too suddenly for them.

The general named Su was like an inhuman alien. He was full of oppression and beat them so hard that they had no power to fight back. They collapsed in an instant and had no choice but to flee with the army.

In comparison, the knights under his command were brave, but far from being invincible and hopeless.

The Wuhuan people are determined to win.

With such a large army crushing our enemies, there is no way we will fail!
