Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 618 Who is the meat on the chopping board?
Lou Ban is very conflicted.

The Huns cannot be trusted, and neither can the Han people!

For a moment, I really didn’t know what to do!
If there is no action...

Lou Ban hesitated for a moment, knowing that if he did not move he would only wait for death.

He let out a long sigh, stood up, walked to the tent, opened the curtain and looked at the dark night sky.

The cold wind blew in my face, bringing with it the unique chill of the grassland.

It seemed as if two forces were fiercely conflicting in his heart: on one side was the humiliation and hatred of his people who had been oppressed by the Huns for many years, and on the other side was the uncertainty and fear about the future.

And the most important thing is...the Han people can be trusted!
"Young General," Lou Ban said, his back to Jiang Wei, his voice a little hoarse, "If I agree to send troops, can the Han army guarantee the safety of Wuhuan after the war?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Wei knew that everything was in order.

At this moment, all we need to do is give Class Lou some reassurance.

He immediately stood up, walked to Lou Ban's side, and said solemnly: "The general has made it clear that after the war, Wuhuan will become a partner of the Han Dynasty, so you can rest assured."

The term "partner" is somewhat different from "alliance".

There must be something behind this, but even if Lou Ban figured it out, it's not something he can take care of right now.

But Lou Ban was silent for a moment, and finally turned around, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "Okay! In this case, I, Wuhuan, am willing to join forces with the Han army to defeat the Xiongnu!"

"But this battle is of great importance and requires careful planning without any omissions."

Jiang Wei smiled with satisfaction and said, "Chief, you are wise! Jiang Wei came here to ensure the connection between Wuhuan and the Han Dynasty. I will definitely provide full assistance to ensure that this battle is a sure success."

Lou Ban nodded, and once again cast his gaze towards the night sky in the distance, muttering to himself: "After this battle, the fate of Wuhuan will depend on God's will."

...

The Southern Xiongnu king Tingzhen is still in a very remote place.

Asking Xing Daorong to attack Huanglong directly would indeed be a bit difficult for him.

Besides, the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu had been relocated several times. If their royal court was really to be destroyed, perhaps the Wuhuan people would know more about it.

Initially, the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu was settled in a place eighty miles away from the western border of Wuyuan County, roughly located in the area from Chuanjing Town, Urad Zhongqi Banner, Inner Mongolia to Xinhule Sumu.

Afterwards, the royal court moved to the western part of Yunzhong County, which roughly corresponds to the present-day Tumed Right Banner and Tumed Left Banner in Inner Mongolia.

It is difficult to find the exact location unless you can follow the fleeing Huns and kill them.

Fortunately...

Now that the Wuhuan people have agreed to join the battle, it won't be a problem for them to go to the royal court.

After Xing Daorong made several arrangements, he finally took the initiative to attack, leading a part of the troops himself, and Zhang Liao and Ma Chao each led their troops, divided into three groups, to attack and kill the joint forces of the Xiongnu and Xianbei.

Unexpectedly, this attack was really a coincidence and took advantage of the Huns' time difference.

...

However, when Huochequan learned that the Wuhuan had betrayed the coalition, he thought over and over again and decided not to let them go easily.

"How dare the Wuhuan people be so treacherous! If we don't teach them a lesson, what will the reputation of the Xiongnu be?"

Having said this, he ignored Sima Yi's suggestion and immediately summoned Kebineng. The two discussed secretly in the tent for a long time and decided to join forces to defeat the Wuhuan people in one fell swoop before they fled far away, as a warning to others.

The Xianbei people were still very interested in dividing up the Wuhuan land.

I agreed immediately.

However, just as they had integrated their troops and were preparing to march out, deafening shouts of killing suddenly came from the direction of Yanmen.

Before Huochequan could react, he saw a team of elite cavalry sweeping in like a hurricane.

This caught Huochuquan off guard. He quickly formed a battle formation to resist, but the Han army, full of resentment, was full of fighting spirit!

The leading general holding a big axe was Xing Daorong.

He was followed closely by Ma Chao and Zhang Liao, and the three of them rushed down the mountain like tigers, attacking the Hun camp directly.

Huochequan was horrified and hurriedly ordered his troops to fight, but in such a hurry, the formation was in chaos.

Xing Daorong took the lead, his axe flashed like lightning, and wherever he passed, the Hun soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Ma Chao's spear was as sharp as a dragon, while Zhang Liao led his troops to encircle the Huns from the flank.

With just one encounter, the Xiongnu and Xianbei coalition forces were defeated.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Huochuquan was shocked and angry, so he had to lead the remaining troops in a hasty retreat.

He galloped away, gritting his teeth and cursing: "The Wuhuan are treacherous, and the Han army is so cunning! I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!"

However, the shouting and screaming behind him was getting closer and closer, so Huochequan had to suppress his anger and flee desperately.

After winning for a while, Xing Daorong did not pursue.

They simply burned down the Huns' camp and then returned to Yanmen.

This made Huochequan feel relieved, but he was also a little confused.

The Han people clearly seized the opportunity, so why didn't they press on and pursue the victory?

But no matter what he was thinking, since Huochequan had been given a chance to catch his breath, he naturally couldn't let it go.

He regrouped his troops and returned to attack.

As a result, the two sides began to rub against each other again under Yanmen Pass, making it impossible for Huochequan to hunt down the Wuhuan people.

But Huochequan never expected that the Wuhuan people not only left the coalition, but also betrayed them completely!
...

But it is said that on that day Huochuquan was sitting in the big tent, Sima Yi was sitting on the left, and Kebinen was sitting on the right.

The atmosphere in the tent was solemn as everyone was discussing how to deal with the Han army at Yanmen.

Huochuquan said in a deep voice: "Yanmen is an important town of the Han army. If we can capture it, we can directly attack the Central Plains. Now Xing Daorong is guarding it, dividing our coalition forces and making it difficult to deal with. What good strategies do you have?"

Sima Yi seemed to have something in mind and was about to speak when suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps was heard outside the tent.

A scout rushed into the tent in a panic, knelt on one knee, and reported breathlessly: "Chanyu, something terrible has happened! The Wuhuan people... the Wuhuan people not only betrayed the alliance, but are now leading their army to attack our royal court!"

Upon hearing this, Huochuquan stood up abruptly, his face turning pale in an instant.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and a hint of shock and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

The voice was low and trembling: "What did you say? The Wuhuan people...attacked the royal court?"

The scout lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him, but just nodded heavily.

Huochuquan's heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and his mind was in chaos.

The royal court was the foundation of the Xiongnu. If it was conquered by the Wuhuan people, the consequences would be disastrous.

He felt a palpitation, as if a hand was tightly grasping his heart, and his breathing became rapid.

Anger erupted in his chest like a volcano. He slammed the table and roared, "Wuhuan people! How dare you be so treacherous! I treated them like brothers, but they repay me like this!"

To be honest, Huochequan had always treated the Wuhuan people as meat on the chopping board, but he never expected that the meat would open its mouth and bite him back!
So despicable!

So abominable!

Shouting Chuquan, a surge of anger rose in his heart!
