Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 289: One Han against ten Huns! Huns, your God of Death is back!

Lu Bu.

This simple name sounded like the devil's whisper, causing everyone in the tent to tremble in their hearts.

Because this name is so scary!

Many years ago, when Lu Bu was still in Bingzhou, he often led his troops to fight against them, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless Huns!

At that time, Lu Bu's name was synonymous with evil spirits. He was known among the tribes on the grassland as a name that could stop children from crying, and he even earned the reputation of a flying general!
Even though more than ten years have passed, everyone still feels fear from the bottom of their hearts when they hear Lu Bu's name.

"Why is this killer back again?!"

After Huochuquan came to his senses, he said in horror.

Many years ago, he was not yet the Chanyu. Because he was young and frivolous and did not believe in Lu Bu's reputation, he found an opportunity and led 500 cavalrymen to surround and kill Lu Bu, who was alone with only a dozen riders.

At that time, Lu Bu was less than 30 years old. The 500 elite cavalrymen of the royal court led by him were directly killed by Lu Bu, and he only saved his life with the desperate protection of a group of elite soldiers!

Lu Bu and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry under his command made him clearly realize what it meant to be unrivaled in the world and what it meant to have one Han man defeat ten Hu men!

From then on, he kept his distance from Lu Bu.

Hearing the name of Bingzhou Wolf Riders, one can't help but tremble.

"Lü Bu left Bingzhou a long time ago and went to serve the emperor in Yecheng. Why did he return to Jiuyuan after so many years?"

Qu Bei said bitterly: "Chan Yu, this time the emperor sent troops to attack Bingzhou, and the commander-in-chief is Lu Bu."

The leader of the Wusun tribe was horrified when he heard this: "Could it be that the emperor also thinks that we killed Han Sui, so he sent Lu Bu to trouble us?"

"If that's the case, then these three thousand soldiers must be just the vanguard. It won't be long before the Han army arrives!"

"Migrate! We must migrate immediately!"

Not only the leader of the Wusun tribe, but leaders of other tribes also had the same idea.

Lu Bu's terrifying power is engraved in everyone's mind. They have no intention of resisting Lu Bu at all and now they just want to escape as soon as possible!

"Quiet, everyone!"

Huochuquan suddenly shouted loudly, and his angry voice suppressed all the voices in the tent. The leaders of various tribes turned their eyes to him.

Huochuquan ignored them, staring at Qubei sharply, and asked, "When did Gao Gan's troops enter the grassland?"

Qubei thought for a moment and said, "About two days ago."

"That's right." Huochuquan relaxed his frown upon hearing this and said, "Lü Bu is not coming for us, otherwise he would not have brought only 3,000 soldiers."

"Lü Bu arrived in Jiuyuan not long after Gao Gan fled to the grassland. If I'm right, he came here to hunt down Gao Gan."

After hearing this analysis, the leaders felt relieved.

As long as Lu Bu is not coming for them, it will be fine.

But Qubei was still a little worried and couldn't help but say, "Chanyu, I don't think we can rule out the possibility that Lu Bu will attack us."

"Because Gao Gan and his men have now fled to the prairie, and Ma Chao has slandered us for killing Han Sui, he might think that we are in cahoots with Gao Gan."

"I'm afraid he won't give up by then."

These words made everyone's hearts, which had been at ease, become tense again.

Indeed, this possibility cannot be denied.

Lu Bu was famous for his bloodlust and recklessness, especially towards the Huns, he was ruthless!
"What do you think we should do?"

Huochuquan felt that what Qubei said made sense.

You can't gamble your life with Lu Bu's brain.

After a moment's hesitation, a light flashed in his eyes and he said, "I have a plan that can keep you safe."

Huochuquan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked, "What's your plan? Tell me quickly!"

Qu Bei said: "We should immediately send troops to kill Gao Gan and present the heads of Gao Gan and others to Lu Bu! Only in this way can we prove our innocence!"

Since Lu Bu was hunting down high-ranking officials, they might as well kill all of them and send them over to him, to avoid Lu Bu misunderstanding or not being able to find anyone to vent his anger on.

"Killed the high-ranking official?"

Huochuquan hesitated when he heard this, "But doing so would be like intervening in the disputes between the princes of Han."

He didn't want to get involved in the disputes among the princes in the Central Plains.

The previous Chanyu, his elder brother Yufuluo, successively joined forces with Yuan Shao, Zhang Yang, Yuan Shu and others to fight against Cao Cao, but suffered a great defeat and eventually died of serious injuries.

The water in the Central Plains is too deep, and he doesn't think he can grasp it.

Qu Bei said: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty sent troops to fight against the rebels. It is understandable that we help to wipe out the remnants of the rebels. We are just following the Emperor's will."

"Besides..."

Qubei paused for a moment, then stood up and walked to Huchuquan, whispering in his ear: "When we escorted the emperor back east, our troops looted Guanzhong. Now that the emperor is back in power, we must make amends for our crimes."

"Otherwise, when the emperor remembers this matter and wants to settle the score with us, we will be finished."

Huochuquan's expression froze for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Well, you lead the troops to kill Gao Gan and present his head to Lu Bu!"

"In addition, we should also count the property and Han people looted in Guanzhong before, and find a time to send them all to Yecheng."

"The emperor is no longer the same as he was before. Even a powerful vassal like Yuan Shao was defeated by the emperor. We... must act with caution."

Qubei's words reminded Huchuquan.

The emperor today is no longer the emperor who fled in a panic when he returned to the east. He has truly grasped power and is about to unify the north.

The emperor not only has a killing god like Lu Bu under his command, but also the mighty general Ma Chao and his 100,000 Xiliang troops. It is a piece of cake for him to deal with the Huns!
They have to continue to behave themselves like before.

……

Grassland, Xiuqu tribe.

In a tent in the center of the tribe, the leader of the Xiuqu tribe was drinking and eating meat with many tribal warriors, talking and laughing loudly.

In the center of the tent, there were graceful women dancing gracefully, and all of them were Han people.

Not only that, every warrior in the tent was accompanied by a Han woman, and the leader sitting in the main seat was hugging two beauties.

"Hahaha! Good dance! Good dance!"

"Take off your coat and keep dancing!"

The leader drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, then threw the cup at the feet of the Han woman who was leading the dance, and said with a lewd smile, one of his hands still wandering dishonestly on the body of the beauty beside him.

The Han woman next to him turned pale, and her hand holding the wine jug trembled slightly, accidentally spilling it on the leader.

The latter's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped her in the face with his backhand, knocking her to the ground, and angrily cursed: "Bitch! Don't you have eyes? If you can't even serve people, what use do I have you for!"

After saying that, he continued to punch and kick the woman, but the woman being beaten just closed her eyes and endured it silently. When the other Han women in the tent saw this scene, sadness rose in their eyes.

"Chief, calm down. Don't really beat her to death. These tender Han girls are hard to get nowadays. If you kill them, it will be hard to buy them again."

A tribal warrior spoke up to persuade them. Upon hearing his words, the chief's expression changed slightly, and then he sat back down and drank his wine.

Another tribal warrior sighed, "The various lords in the Central Plains are fighting each other fiercely. It is too dangerous to enter the pass for hunting."

The Huns called looting inside the Great Wall "hunting", and everything they robbed was considered a trophy, among which the most precious were the beautiful Han women.

However, the situation in the Central Plains has changed. Now the risk of entering the pass to plunder is too great. If you are not careful, you may never come back, so people are increasingly afraid to enter the pass to plunder.

"Yes, some time ago, the Xiliang army stationed in Guanzhong invaded the grasslands and slaughtered all the tribes they saw, even the children were not spared. It was too brutal."

A warrior's words were filled with fear.

Previously, in order to appease the morale of the Xiliang army, Ma Chao sent the Xiliang army deep into the grassland to carry out a massacre. Many tribes suffered from this disaster, which was extremely terrifying.

"You haven't heard yet."

Another warrior put down his wine, swallowed his saliva and said: "I just got the news that Lu Bu, the killer, has also returned to the border."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"Lu Bu is back?!"

"The legendary killer?"

"How could this devil come back!"

"He must be here to kill us!"

When all the tribal warriors heard this name, they trembled with fear. Their reaction was even greater than when they heard about the Xiliang Army and Ma Chao.

Lu Bu's reputation has spread too widely in this land.

Only the leader had a look of disdain on his face, snorting coldly, "What a bullshit killing god! Ten riders killed five hundred elite soldiers of the royal court. Do you really believe in this legend that was spread more than ten years ago?"

"And the Xiliang Army and the mighty General Ma Chao are just relying on their numbers. What's there to brag about?"

"How can the Han people be as strong as our warriors!"

One Han is worth ten Hu people. This saying might have been applicable when Emperor Wu was in power two hundred years ago, but he does not take the Han people seriously now.

Faced with the leader's arrogance, the other warriors in the tent did not dare to object and could only echo him, which made the leader even more arrogant.

But at this moment, they suddenly heard a shocking sound of horse hooves coming from afar, and even the ground beneath their feet was shaking faintly!
"what happened?!"

The leader of the Xiuqu tribe's face changed and he quickly ran out of the tent. Then they were stunned by the scene they saw.

All I saw was the vast expanse of white snow.

A cavalry of a thousand men attacked the tribe!

"Han Army! It's the Han Army!"

Looking at the armor, weapons and flags of the army in front of him, a tribal warrior turned pale with uncontrollable fear on his face!

"Fight! Fight now!"

The leader of the Xiuqu tribe was the first to react. Without caring about his clothes, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

However, before he could turn around, a spear flew from nowhere, tearing a horrible wound in his body and going straight through him.

One shot to kill!
Then a general came on horseback, pulled out his spear, shook off the blood on the tip of the spear, and gave a cold order: "Kill!"

This military general is none other than Gao Gan!

"kill--!"

Thousands of cavalrymen rushed directly into the Xiuqu tribe, killing everyone they saw. It was like the devil descending upon us, and they were unstoppable!

No, this was a one-sided massacre!

Xiuqu tribe is a small tribe with a population of 3,000. There are more than 800 adult males in the tribe, all of whom are strong warriors who can fight on horseback.

But at this moment, they could only be slaughtered by the army led by senior officials. This was a battle without any suspense at all!

Gao Gan's troops were like a tiger among a flock of sheep, ruthlessly reaping one life after another. During this period, some people wanted to rise up in resistance, but only death greeted them!

The sounds of howling and crying echoed across the vast grassland.

Not long after, in the entire Xiuqu tribe, apart from the elderly, children, women and children who were squatting on the ground crying with their heads in their hands, there were also hundreds of tribal warriors kneeling on the ground surrendering.

As for the leader, he had already been killed.

Gao Gan rode on his horse, glanced at the group of prisoners, and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Everyone, replenish food and fodder, change horses, and continue on the journey in an hour!"

He slaughtered the tribe only to plunder food and horses. In the vast grassland, this was the only way to obtain supplies.

For him, direct killing is much easier than communication.

There is no need to waste time if you can grab it.

Although he could not defeat Lu Bu's army, it was easy for him to kill these Huns. He had been plundering in this way since he entered the grassland.

"General, we have fought our way here, so we won't attract the attention of the royal court, right? This is the territory of the Huns after all."

Guo Yuan came over and asked worriedly.

They fled all the way from Bingzhou to the outside of the Great Wall, and only a thousand men and horses were left. If they encountered a large force of the Huns, they would definitely not be their match.

Gao Gan said: "As long as we don't kill the Xianbei tribe, there will be no problem. We should speed up our march and we will reach the Wuhuan territory in a few days. Then we will be safe."

"How is the young master?"

The young master he was referring to was Yuan Shao’s youngest son Yuan Mai.

Guo Yuan couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this and said, "Young Master is already weak, and the continuous marches are really a bit too much for him. I think he should rest more."

"There is no time to rest." Gao Gan sighed and said, "Lü Bu has arrived at the border. If he finds our tracks and chases us, we will surely die."

"Lü Bu's army is not as weak as the Xiongnu."

He had already received news of Lu Bu's arrival at the border from the tribe he had slaughtered before, which was why he was traveling day and night.

Guo Yuan looked a little bitter when he heard this.

Yes, if Lu Bu’s army was as weak as these Huns, why would they run away?
When the prisoners heard the conversation between Gao Gan and Guo Yuan, they were immediately filled with fear and disbelief.

This Han army with terrifying combat effectiveness in front of us was actually just Lu Bu's defeated generals and was being chased by Lu Bu?
A group of defeated soldiers who were being chased were killed without them having any chance to fight back!
Just when Gao Gan's many soldiers were resting, they heard a deafening sound of horse hooves. On the vast snowy plain, a mighty army was rushing towards this place!

"The King's army! It's the King's army!"

"Wang Ting is here to rescue us!"

After seeing the flag of that army, a captured soldier couldn't help but exclaim in ecstasy, almost crying out loud!
Gao Gan looked up at the army in the distance, and his expression changed instantly, because the Hun army rushing towards this place had at least more than 5,000 people!

And he had just recently ordered the entire army to rest and change mounts, so now there was no time to escape immediately!

"Damn it! Why at this moment!"

Gao Gan gritted his teeth, drew his sword and shouted angrily: "All soldiers, listen up and prepare to meet the enemy!"
