Volume 1 Chapter 110 Shocked People

Chuluo Khan heard Bai Qi say that as long as the other three Khans attacked Honghua City, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

He did not resent Bai Qi for this, thinking that Bai Qi was the enemy of the Huns.

Instead, he had an idea in his mind and asked excitedly: "If the other three Khans suffer heavy losses in this battle, can I take advantage of the situation to annex them?"

"Then I can become the real overlord of the grassland!"

Chuluo Khan would never have had such an idea before.

But today, he followed Bai Qi's advice and took advantage of the situation. As a result, he only lost 5,000 troops, but let the second Khan and the other three Khans fight for life and death, killing more than 100,000 people on the other side at once.

If the other three Khans lost more people in Honghua City, or even were beheaded on the spot, he would become the only Khan on the grassland.

Thinking of this, Chuluo Khan trembled with excitement.

Yang Paifeng, Dazhuang, Erniu and others around him were speechless.

They didn't hear it wrong!

The Khan of the Xiongnu actually wanted to discuss with Bai Qi how to kill the Xiongnu army.

They must have thought it was a joke before.

But now that they heard it with their own ears, they felt mixed emotions.

They didn't know what to say.

After a while.

Yang Paifeng expressed his concerns and looked at Bai Qi and said, "Bai Qi, if Chuluo Khan becomes the first Khan of the Xiongnu, and he annexes the forces of the other three Khans."

"After a few years of development, his strength may be more terrifying than the combined strength of several Khans."

"What if he wields a knife against Da Zhou again?"

After Yang Paifeng finished speaking, she looked at Chuluo Khan coldly.

She didn't want Chuluo Khan to be the biggest and strongest.

Da Zhuang, Hei Niu and others thought that it was good to agree to Chuluo Khan, so that they could fight each other.

But when they heard what Yang Paifeng said, they suddenly felt that they thought too simply.

Chuluo Khan was shocked. What Yang Paifeng said was indeed what he thought in his heart.

Now he has to submit to Bai Qi, and wait until later, humph!

But he was still young and didn't dare to offend Bai Qi, so he said quickly: "How is it possible? If that day comes, I will be respectful to the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Haha!"

Not to mention Yang Paifeng, even the rough men like Da Zhuang didn't believe it.

The Xiongnu were typical people who forgot the pain after the wound healed.

How could they keep their promises?

Bai Qi also shook his head gently. If he believed what Chuluo Khan said, it would be a miracle.

But now he had to rely on Chuluo Khan to deal with the other three khans.

After thinking about it, he turned back to look at Chuluo Khan and said: "I can help you deal with the other three khans, but the premise is that you must be a grandson of the Central Plains Dynasty!" Be

a grandson?

Chuluo Khan didn't understand.

"How to be a grandson?"

He didn't reject it. Anyway, he was a grandson now, and even Bai Qi could drive him at will. What else couldn't he do?

What he wanted was not dignity, not face, but strength.

Only with strength can you have face and dignity!

Seeing that Chuluo Khan did not have much resistance, Bai Qi grinned and said, "You need to go back to the Great Zhou Imperial City with me, and pay tribute in front of the civil and military officials and the people of the world!"

This!

Chuluo Khan was shocked and his face turned green.

This is a bit cruel.

Over the years, the Xiongnu and the Central Plains Dynasty have fought each other, and no Xiongnu Khan has ever paid tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty.

The Xiongnu Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty are equal in status, and they belong to the state.

If he really pays tribute, he will be a vassal of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Isn't this equivalent to surrender?

Yang Paifeng's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "This is a good idea! If Chuluo Khan pays tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty!"

"And if he doesn't listen to the Central Plains Dynasty, the other Xiongnu people can completely get rid of Chuluo Khan because he has turned to the Central Plains Dynasty!"

Yang Paifeng had no scruples at all and directly told Bai Qi's plan in front of Chuluo Khan.

This is actually a constraint on Chuluo Khan.

As a dignified Xiongnu Khan, he actually became a grandson of the Central Plains Dynasty, which made him a capitulator in the Xiongnu Dynasty.

He would definitely have a huge disagreement with the Xiongnu people who advocated war.

This invisibly split the Xiongnu into two major factions.

Chuluo Khan will never be able to truly unify the grassland, and there are many people who oppose him.

"Chuluo, what do you think?"

Bai Qi looked at Chuluo Khan: "If you agree, we will set off now and return to the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"When you really pay tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty and become a vassal of the Central Plains Dynasty, then our Central Plains Dynasty can send troops to help you unify the grassland."

"You can truly become the overlord of the grassland."

"Of course, you must pay tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty every year, and horses are indispensable!"

Bai Qi had a playful look on his face. If you want to rely on me to become the overlord of the grassland, that's fine. I'll put a bull nose ring on you first. If you don't listen, there are plenty of ways to deal with you!

Now Bai Qi doesn't know, just waiting for Chuluo Khan's choice.

Hearing this.

Chuluo Khan's face was in great struggle.

Of course, he knew that joining the Central Plains Dynasty would bring huge benefits, but at the same time, it would also cause great damage to his reputation.

He could not raise his head in the entire Xiongnu Dynasty, which would make other Xiongnu high-level officials collectively despise him.

He was very entangled. The grassland overlord he wanted was not like this.

Bai Qi saw that Chuluo Khan did not speak, and he knew that he was unwilling in his heart.

Bai Qi chuckled and said leisurely: "Chuluo, do you have any other choice?"

"Today you have offended the other three Khans to death. If you don't go with me, the other three Khans will definitely destroy you!"

Bai Qi was not afraid that Chuluo Khan would not agree.

If you don't agree, wait for death!

"You!" Chuluo Khan was shocked and looked at Bai Qi as if he was looking at a devil.

It turned out that Bai Qi brought his army to participate in this war today, not only to consume the manpower of the other Khans.

But also pushed him to the opposite side of the other Khans.

This is simply killing two birds with one stone!

So cruel!

If he had not come today, perhaps the other three Khans would have spared his life as long as he was willing to be humble under their command.

But what about now?

He has led his troops to attack the three Khans, and he did it at the most critical moment. Will they let him go?

It's impossible to think about it with your toes!

Chuluo Khan felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a dead fly.

Bai Qi was simply playing with him, which was terrible.

He also knew at this time that he had no other choice.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chuluo Khan could only grit his teeth and nodded depressedly: "Okay, I'll go!"

In an instant, Yang Paifeng and others were shocked.

Chuluo Khan really agreed.

The Huns will really surrender to the Great Zhou in the future!

Oh my God!

This is a feat that has never been seen since the founding of the Great Zhou in 853!

Even her father Yang Wudi was just able to resist the Huns, and he became a famous general, but Bai Qi actually wanted the Huns to surrender.

"If the officials in the court knew this news, I don't know if they would be shocked!"

Yang Paifeng was excited. She was actually an important participant in this plan. At this moment, she felt extremely honored.

The soldiers around were also rubbing their hands excitedly.

Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, patted Chuluo Khan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's right! In our words, a man who knows the times is a hero!"

Bai Qi touched his nose. Why did he feel like a villain?

He ordered: "Then the two of us will go back to the Great Zhou Dynasty first. Yang Paifeng, you lead the army to look after the soldiers under Chuluo Khan."

"Don't let these people run away, let alone let them have a large-scale battle with the other three Khans."

"Wait for us to come back."

Yang Paifeng immediately took the order. He now has 25,000 troops, 10,000 soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and another 15,000 are Xiongnu cavalry.

As long as they keep wandering on the grassland and release spies, they don't have to worry about the other three Khans besieging and killing them to death.

And taking advantage of this time, they can also go to various tribes on the grassland to harass and plunder, and raise the food and grass needed for their army.

For the first time, Yang Paifeng felt that it was so cool for cavalry to move on the grassland.

Sometimes they don't even need to bring food and grass, they can rob wherever they go.

Bai Qi rode on his warhorse and led Chuluo Khan to Honghua City.

On the way, neither of them spoke. Bai Qi was too lazy to pay attention to Chuluo Khan, while Chuluo Khan was worried and didn't want to talk to Bai Qi at all.

Bai Qi took advantage of this time to count his achievements.

System, count the achievements for me!

[Ding!]

[Host, killed the two sons of the first Khan of the Xiongnu, experience value +10,000]

[Host killed 10 generals under the first Khan of the Xiongnu, experience value +10,000]

[Host killed 535 ordinary soldiers of the Xiongnu, experience value +5,350]

[Host now has 159,130 ​​experience points]

[Does the host want to upgrade?]

Bai Qi of course chose no!

Keeping the experience points has other uses. Now there is no master for him to kill, so why waste the experience points?

……………………

Ten days later.

The Imperial City of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty now holds a grand court meeting every three days.

Because of the war in front, he couldn't eat or sleep.

Recently, because of the excessive pressure, he had to go to the harem several times a day. Because he turned too frequently, he felt exhausted.

When he went to court, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a pair of panda eyes, rubbed his old waist, and looked at the civil and military officials with a heavy heart.

"After so many days, haven't you thought of a proper way?"

"How should we deal with the next attack of the Huns?"

Hearing this,

the civil and military officials all shook their heads helplessly.

They didn't have any good ideas at all.

And what made them most depressed was that the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't kill the Tianji Sect at all, and in order to retaliate against the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Tianji Sect

actually opened up more than 10 roads to attack the Central Plains Dynasty in the mountains connected to Honghua City.

This makes Honghua City even more dangerous.

You don't know if the Huns will intercept the logistics supplies again when they attack Honghua City next time, and even if you guess it,

you can't stop it.

Because the people of Tianji Sect are frantically opening up roads, even if you block the known roads again now, who can tell which more roads will be opened at that time?

So they can only transport all the food and grass to Honghua City in advance, but this time the food and grass are obviously not much.

It can't support the consumption of Honghua City for several months.

If the Huns attack the city again and the siege lasts for a long time, then Honghua City will be in danger.

What's more terrifying is that the Huns can completely bypass Honghua City and directly attack the rear from the road opened by Tianji Sect.

I won't fight you head-on, I will directly plunder your rear and force Yang Wudi to go out of the city to fight.

In this way, the power of the Huns cavalry will be greater.

People don't have to fight a siege war with you.

So everyone is at a loss, and bad news comes one after another from the war in front.

Let them only keep pessimistic guesses about the current situation.

At this moment, a hurried battle report came from outside.

"Report!——"

"Emergency military information from Honghua City!"

When this voice sounded, all the civil and military officials were shocked.

Many people almost dropped the memorials in their hands. What they feared most now was hearing the military report from Honghua City. The emperor of

the Great Zhou Dynasty was also pale. He swallowed hard, his fingers were trembling, and after a long while, he stammered:

"Bring the people up."

Soon, a messenger came in.

The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty sighed and said, "What bad news is there in the front?"

The messenger was obviously stunned, and then said curiously: "Your Majesty, there is a great victory in the front!"

What! ?

As soon as this sentence came out, the whole place was boiling.

The civil and military officials all widened their eyes, and many people lost their composure at the time.

The military generals even surrounded him, lifted the messenger from the ground, and shouted excitedly: "Tell me quickly, what changes have occurred in the war in the front?"

The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty also ran out from behind the dragon case. He couldn't wait to know what happened in the front.

This was the first time that the messenger was treated with such high standards. In the past, when they delivered orders, they just handed over the memorials.

Now, he was surrounded by the civil and military officials of the whole court, and even the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty came down.

This was simply the highest treatment he had ever received in his life.

Even at this time, the eunuch brought a pot of tea and handed it to him: "Hurry up and moisten your throat. After drinking it, tell our Majesty in detail."

Oh my!

Can I still drink the emperor's tea?

The messenger swallowed hard.

He didn't care about anything else, just grabbed the teapot and drank it hard.

After all, he was exhausted after running 800 miles in a hurry.

Moreover, this tea was exclusively for the emperor. He could only drink it once in his life. This was the emperor's order for him to drink it, so he would drink it if he didn't.

After drinking, he felt refreshed, and then he said aloud:

"General Bai Qi instigated the Xiongnu's Choro Khan to rebel in the rear, and led Choro Khan's army to provoke a war with several other Xiongnu Khans."

"The Xiongnu's third Khan, fourth Khan and fifth Khan joined forces to destroy the Xiongnu's second Khan."

"In this battle, our army lost less than ten people, but the Xiongnu directly lost 120,000!"

"The total strength of the entire Xiongnu has dropped from the original 500,000 to 380,000."

"It's just twice as many as our Honghua City garrison."

"Marshal Yang asked me to tell His Majesty that he is fully confident that he can defend Honghua City with a 2:1 ratio between the enemy and our forces!"

After the messenger said this, there was a sound of cold air sucked in by the surroundings.

Bai Qi is simply amazing!

Not only did he solve the crisis of Honghua City, he was able to instigate Choro Khan to rebel, and forced several Khans to fight for life and death.

This battle actually paid such a small price to destroy so many Xiongnu troops!

It can be called a miracle on the battlefield!

We have been fighting the Huns for so many years, and there has never been a war that has killed so many Huns.

My goodness, Bai Qi is indeed a killing god!

With this move, the enemy's casualties did not exceed 10,000.

The generals all admired Bai Qi.

The most important thing is that Bai Qi uses his brain to fight.

When Bai Qi first dealt with the joint attack of the five Huns Khans, the tactical qualities he showed were beyond their reach.

Many people have studied Bai Qi's tactics in private and were amazed at the time.

This time they thought it was an unsolvable problem, but Bai Qi made a big deal again.

120,000 enemy troops, just gone!

The most important thing is that there were not many deaths on their side, and no food and grass were consumed. It was simply called a four-pound move with a thousand-pound effort.

This is called the art of war!

General Cao Changqiu directly bowed to the emperor of the Great Zhou and said, "Your Majesty, Bai Qi has made great contributions, and he needs to be rewarded!"

Other generals also echoed General Cao Changqiu's suggestions.

The corners of the mouth of the Great Zhou Emperor twitched. He was originally very happy to hear the news, but when he thought that this matter was done by Bai Qi, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Now he heard that this group of people wanted to reward Bai Qi lavishly, and he felt as uncomfortable as being stung by a bee.

The civil officials on the side were all unhappy.

Although Bai Qi had made great military achievements, the reward was too fast!

Someone said directly:

"Every time Bai Qi was rewarded, he was promoted three levels. It has only been less than two years."

"Bai Qi has gone from being a criminal to the current third-rank general."

"You know, many people have to wait for thirty or forty years to become a third-rank official from a seventh-rank county magistrate."

"Some people can't become a third-rank official in their entire lives."

"Yes, yes, yes, we also think that the reward can't be too fast. If it goes on like this, Bai Qi will soon have nothing to reward!"

The civil officials all opposed it collectively at this time. After all, they didn't want to see a military general promoted so crazy.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty said hypocritically after hearing this: "I actually want to reward Bai Qi, but you all disagree."

"If Bai Qi can solve the problem of the Xiongnu, I will definitely reward him handsomely!"

Before he finished speaking,

a report came from outside.

"Report!"

"General Bai Qi brought back the Khan of Chuluo and is now seeking an audience outside the palace!"

What!?

The ministers were dumbfounded.
