My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 269: Breaking through Haye Camp

In terms of giving someone a beating when they are down.

Each of the Hu people has maxed-out talents.

There was no need for Zuo Xian Wang to mobilize, as Hatterer led his troops out of the camp first.

The other tribal leaders also led their troops to join the pursuit of the Haye tribe.

However, Zuo Xian Wang, who had been keeping his troops inactive, became gloomy when he saw this.

Before he, the leader of the alliance, even opened his mouth, these clan leaders swarmed down to help.

To put it nicely, this scene is full of subjective initiative.

To put it bluntly, the tribes in the alliance act on their own and are too presumptuous.

However, the suppression over the past few days has also made the princes feel depressed.

Now that he had a plan to strike hard at the downfall, he could also understand the princes' intentions of joining the battle.

It's good to let them vent, but now that the leader of the alliance hasn't spoken yet, aren't you guys acting on your own? Aren't you being too presumptuous and disrespectful to me, the leader?

Of course, the more important reason is that these princes wanted to make some money during the chaos.

Captured some horses and prisoners from the Haye tribe.

On the grassland, both of these materials are hard currency.

Although things seemed lively among the Allied forces, the only one who really wanted to help Lu Yi was his brother-in-law Hatler.

"Haha, you bunch of idiots. Lu Yi is so greedy, how could he let you idiots take advantage of his ship for no reason and rob the people and horses that belong to him?"

Zuo Xian Wang changed his mind and the gloom in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"I will sit high on the city wall and watch you two sides clash."

"Then I, the leader of the alliance, will mediate. This will not only help to smooth things over, but also help to increase my prestige. Why not do it?"

As he thought about it, Zuo Xian Wang began to feel some anticipation in his heart, and he watched the situation with great interest.

Get ready to enjoy the chaos that is about to ensue.

"No matter what, Lu Yi and the other princes are all under my command. Internal strife and discord are fine, but they must not fight too much. Otherwise, the overall strength of the alliance will be weakened, which will be disadvantageous to me as the leader of the alliance."

However, Zuo Xian Wang was not just a spectator, he still had a certain sense of propriety in his mind.

However, the subsequent development of events was far beyond Zuo Xian Wang's expectations.

When Lu Yi saw that all the generals had come down from the city to help in the battle, he of course knew what they were thinking.

He had already made an agreement with Zuo Xian Wang that all the captured spoils would belong to him.

The soldiers of the Haye tribe had now completely lost their morale and could only run away, not daring to resist Lu Yi's army at all.

These people saw no danger and instead saw many benefits, so their actions of coming out to take advantage of the situation were undoubtedly harming Lu Yi's interests.

However, Lu Yi already knew about this.

He probably didn’t know what the nature of the Hu people was when he first traveled through time.

But now, as I continue to deal with the Hu people, I have already become familiar with them.

Although the Haye tribe had many captives and horses, he did not take them seriously.

Now that Haye is dead, all the able-bodied men have been defeated.

The tribe’s camp was even more empty.

Rather than letting Jiang Qu liquidate the Haye tribe and take over this piece of fat meat after the war, it would be better for him to take the initiative and directly attack the Haye headquarters and take all the people and livestock into his own hands.

Thinking of this, he ordered Lu Bu to stop destroying the defeated soldiers and continue to gather the scattered soldiers.

On the one hand, he shouted loudly to the princes who came over.

"The Haye tribe has been defeated by me. The leader and I have already made it clear in public that these defeated soldiers and horses should be my spoils of war. However, you are willing to come to help me, which shows that you think highly of me."

"Therefore, this deputy leader allows you to participate in the battle, pursue the defeated soldiers of the Haye tribe, capture prisoners, and seize war horses."

Lu Yi changed the greedy image he had deliberately created before and showed his generosity to everyone.

This caused a burst of excited flattery from the alliance princes.

Lu Yi's move was not only equivalent to sharing benefits with them, but also giving them enough face.

All of a sudden, the princes' views on Lu Yi, the Han Chinese deputy leader, changed drastically.

But Lu Yi's performance is not over yet.

He saw that while he was speaking, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others had almost gathered all the pursuers who were chasing them everywhere, especially the armored cavalry who were still able to move. They immediately came to the camp gate, looked up and shouted loudly to Zuo Xian Wang who was standing on the top of the city wall with a look of surprise on his face.

"Master, the Haye tribe has just been defeated. With the return of the defeated soldiers, the morale of Jiang Qu's troops will surely drop significantly."

"I am willing to lead my cavalry as the vanguard of the alliance and chase the fleeing soldiers all the way to attack Jiang Qu's troops!"

"Of course, I hope that the leader will continue to abide by the agreement between us. Apart from the defeated soldiers, all the camps of Jiang Qu captured by our army will belong to you."

"What……?"

Originally, he had made up his mind to calmly deal with the conflict and aftermath between Lu Yi and the princes, but who knew that Lu Yi suddenly changed his nature and became generous.

Now hearing him say this, it turns out that he was coveting the more wealthy Haye tribe camp.

Although he understood Lu Yi's idea, the change came too suddenly. Zuo Xian Wang's brain was still in a state of shutdown and he was unable to react for a while.

But how could Lu Yi give him a chance to react, and immediately continued speaking.

"Jiang Qu has won many victories. He would never have expected that Haye's army would be defeated today. I will lead my army to charge forward. Jiang Qu will be unprepared. Our army will surely win in one battle."

"This is a great opportunity bestowed by God on our alliance. I hope that the leader of the alliance will not hesitate, lest we regret it too late!"

"Is the deputy leader sure?" Upon hearing this, Zuo Xian Wang couldn't help but feel excited by Lu Yi's description.

If he could destroy Jiang Qu in one battle, then he would reach the pinnacle of his ambition and it would be a foregone conclusion that he would become the Great Khan of the entire Xiongnu south of the desert. How could he not be yearning and excited about this?
However, even with Haye's defeat, the number of Jiang Qu's remaining troops was still not less than that of the alliance. In the eyes of Zuo Xian Wang, the outcome between the two sides was still fifty-fifty. Therefore, he was so excited that he could not help but question Lu Yi cautiously.

"A few months ago, I defeated the Xianbei army of 300,000 in one battle. Now Jiang Qu only has tens of thousands of soldiers, but the number of soldiers under my command has greatly increased. How can we not win?"

Lu Yi smiled proudly, his words full of disdain for Jiang Qu.

"Good, good, good!"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Xian Wang was overjoyed and felt that Lu Yi's self-confidence was no longer dazzling.

What the Han people mean by planning strategies from within the tent and winning battles thousands of miles away is probably referring to famous generals like Lu Yi!

"The deputy leader is dedicated to the public good and should be a role model for the alliance."

"The war is urgent and there is no time to lose. Please ask the deputy leader to defeat the enemy first. I will restrain the alliance princes and then rush to Jiang Qu's troops to join the battle."

King Zuo Xian waved his hand heroically and gave Lu Yi the order for a general attack.

"Haha, this Zuo Xian Wang has fallen into my trap!"

Lu Yi laughed three times in his heart, but showed an excited and respectful look on his face, and immediately bowed to Zuo Xian Wang and accepted the order.

"I will obey the orders of the leader. This time we will definitely defeat Jiang Qu's troops. However, our army is alone and deep in the enemy's territory. We may be surrounded by Jiang Qu. Please reorganize the troops as soon as possible and send troops to help us!"

"Don't worry, Vice Alliance Leader. You go first, and I will be there soon!"

Zuo Xian Wang was more eager to fight than Lü Yi. Now it was about his position as the Great Khan of the Xiongnu. Even if Lü Yi asked him to delay, he was unwilling to delay for a second. He had already made a decision in his heart.

He was putting everything on the line at this moment.

Not only all the warriors and forces of Zuo Xian Wang's army, but also all the warriors and forces of the other princes must be put into action.

Now, anyone who tries to stop him from defeating Jiang Qu, no matter who they are, will be his greatest enemy.

He would never show mercy to his mortal enemy, Zuo Xian Wang.

"We will defeat Jiangqu today!"

"My men! Follow me to attack the camp of the Xiongnu false king Jiang Qu!"

At Lu Yi's command, he led all his troops to chase the fleeing soldiers and attack Jiang Qu's troops.

Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others also led their troops to respond.

Lu Yi's 5,000-strong army flew rapidly towards the direction of Jiang Qu's camp like a murderous arrow.

"Although Lu Yi has a bad temper and is greedy, he is not without any merits."

"Now it seems that at least we can clearly distinguish between right and wrong."

When Zuo Xian Wang saw Lu Yi leading his troops away with a murderous look on his face, he couldn't help but change his opinion of him.

"However, the more capable this Lu Yi is, the more he cannot be kept!"

"This man is an excellent warrior, and his troops are powerful. If we let him return to the Han Kingdom safely, he will definitely be a great threat to our Xiongnu!"

"Therefore, such heroes must not be allowed to use their talents."

"After I kill Jiang Qu and seize the position of Great Khan of the Xiongnu, and take control of the entire Mo Nan Royal Court, I must concentrate all my forces to keep Jiang Qu and his troops in Mo Nan."

"Although Jiang Qu is a bad person in many ways, his fear of the Han people's plan to seek independence is deeply appreciated by the king."

"Humph! The grassland may be vast, but the Han people can't just come here whenever they want!"

……

"Attention, generals. Keep your pursuit distance. You must not allow the fleeing Haye troops a moment's respite, but you must also not allow them to completely collapse."

"We must follow the defeated troops and rush into the Haye tribe's camp."

"In this way, these defeated soldiers will become the vanguard of our vanguard and will become cannon fodder to reduce the casualties of our soldiers."

Just when King Zuo Xian was harboring ulterior motives and was preparing to eliminate Lu Yi after Jiang Qu was destroyed.

Lu Yi, who was almost chasing the defeated soldiers of the Haye tribe forward, was also issuing real combat orders to the generals behind him while riding on his galloping horse.

"Brother, what you said is very true. In this case, the destruction of the Haye tribe is inevitable. But after defeating the Haye tribe, do we still need to continue to attack Jiang Qu's tribe as we just said?"

Lu Bu nodded when he heard that, and then immediately asked as if he remembered something.

"Continue to attack Jiang Qu's troops?"

"Why do you continue?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi laughed and asked in confusion.

"Uh……?"

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, and didn't understand why Lu Yi suddenly changed his mind.

"Haha, Fengxian is invincible in battle, but he is not good at strategy. Big brother, please don't make fun of Fengxian."

Gao Shun also laughed when he heard this and immediately explained to Lu Bu.

"Fengxian, have you forgotten the two reasons why my brother came to Mo Nan?"

"The reason why Big Brother wanted to leave Bingzhou and come to this desert grassland is to harvest some cattle, sheep and horses to bring back to Bingzhou in exchange for food to feed the refugees in Pingcheng."

"The second is to take advantage of the opportunity to weaken the Southern Xiongnu, who have already begun to harbor rebellious thoughts after seeing the Han Dynasty weaken."

"Of course I know these two points!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu retorted in dissatisfaction.

"This attack on the Haye tribe will naturally allow us to seize a lot of cattle, sheep, horses, and prisoners, which is exactly in line with the first point."

"But doesn't this attack on Jiang Qu's troops just meet the second point?"

"Isn't Jiang Qu also one of the Southern Xiongnu? Wouldn't weakening him be equivalent to weakening the Southern Xiongnu?"

"Although what Fengxian said is not wrong, it is not the best solution!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi laughed.

"It is indeed as Fengxian said. If our army sacrifices its life, Jiang Qu will not be able to escape this time."

"But if Jiang Qu dies, then Zuo Xian Wang will still become more powerful. The Xiongnu have now reoccupied the southern part of the desert. Once they are unified again, they will be able to regain their former power in just a few years. Therefore, we must not kill Jiang Qu easily in this battle."

"Not only can we not destroy Jiang Qu, but we can't let Zuo Xian Wang be defeated so easily."

"For us, the best outcome is not for Jiang Qu and Zuo Xian Wang to be defeated by the other, but for both sides to maintain a balance of power and consume each other."

"On the one hand, this can continue to maintain the chaos on the grassland and make the Xiongnu people fall into continuous internal strife and consumption. On the other hand, it can also buy time for Pingcheng to recuperate and exchange for opportunities for development."

"So that's how it is!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly realized and immediately felt admiration for his brother Lu Yi.

"Brother, you have made the right decision. I will leave it to you to make the final decision!"

"The Haye tribe is right before our eyes. Everyone, follow me and defeat them first!"

Because of his successive victories, Haye greedily set up his camp in front of Jiang Qu's troops in order to collect prisoners and spoils.

Although this move could prevent the princes of Jiangqu tribe from taking advantage of the chaos to divide up his gains, it also put himself in danger.

If the war goes badly, the Haye tribe will be the first to bear the brunt and face the angry attack from Zuo Xianwang's tribe.

Seeing that the Haye tribe was already in sight, Lu Yi immediately gave orders to his generals and rushed towards the Haye tribe first.

Some of the Haye soldiers who escaped quickly have now returned to the camp.

They knew that the demise of the Haye tribe was a foregone conclusion.

These Huns, who grew up on the grasslands where tribal annexations were fierce, naturally had no intention of being buried alive with Haye.

The reason why they returned to the camp so quickly was not to inform others.

Instead, they wanted to grab as much wealth and goods as possible and run away on horseback.

Whether surrendering to other tribes or fleeing to the grassland for refuge, it is a hundred times better than staying in this deadly place and being buried with Haye.

Therefore, the entire Haye tribe was in chaos, and Lu Yi saw burning, killing and looting everywhere.

Now, in the Haye tribe, whether it is the population or the cattle, sheep, horses and property, Lu Yi regards them as his spoils of war. How can he allow these defeated generals to act recklessly?

He shouted an order and immediately rushed in first.

"Attack Haye's camp immediately. Kill anyone who kneels down and surrenders immediately. Take control of the situation immediately!"
