The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 138 Can't afford it, let's run
Yuan Xu was imprisoned in Juyong for four or five days, and the Huns sent horses.

The one who sent the horses was King Zuoguli of the Huns.

When he met Li, Yuan Xu asked, "Why didn't Shan Yu come?"

"The Great Chanyu is still preparing horses." King Zuoguli replied, "The Huns have a large population, and the various tribes are far apart, so it is not easy to gather horses..."

"How much did you send this time?" Yuan Xu asked.

"There are [-] horses." Zuo Guli King replied.

"The Xiongnu have a population of 10, and it has been four or five days before they delivered [-] horses." Yuan Xu sneered, "Are you kidding me?"

"Don't dare, dare not." Zuo Guli King quickly replied, "It is true that it will take time to raise funds."

"When will it be ready?" Yuan Xu asked, "How many horses are there in total?"

"More than 40 horses." King Zuo Guli replied.

The Huns will send more than 40 horses to Yuan Xu.

Guo Jia and the others were all stunned.

Yuan Xu's reaction was very flat: "The Huns only have a population of more than 40?"

"Don't dare to lie to the general." King Zuo Guli replied, "The Huns have a population of nearly one million, and most of them were captured from the Central Plains a few years ago. Those captured in the Central Plains will also be sent back with their horses."

"Tell Hu Chuquan, I can't wait too long." Yuan Xu said: "The ten-day period has passed nearly half, and when the day comes, I will go to the royal court to discuss it in person."

"Major General, can you allow a few more days?" King Zuo Guli said in a dilemma: "It really takes time to raise horses..."

"No!" Yuan Xu vetoed: "Ten days will be ten days, and I won't wait for one more day."

"You go back." He waved his hand, beckoning the guards to see off the guests.

In front of Yuan Xu, King Zuo Guli had a deep understanding of what it means to be a weak country without diplomacy.

Yuan Xu refused to extend the time, so he could only go back and report the truth to Hu Chuquan.

After King Zuoguli left, Guo Jia asked Yuan Xu, "My lord, are more than 40 horses really okay?"

"How many people did the Huns send back?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Hundreds of thousands." Guo Jia said with emotion: "It can be seen how many evils they committed in the Central Plains back then."

"People are more important than horses." Yuan Xu said: "They are willing to send the population back in exchange for horses. Of course I am willing to be a favor."

Guo Jia immediately understood what Yuan Xu meant.

After years of wars and chaos in Hebei, the population has been depleted.

The importation of several 10 people eased the situation.

Pang Tong raised a more realistic question: "Most of the people sent back are women, and they have passed the childbearing age. Even if they are brought back to the Central Plains, they will not be of much use."

"If they can't have children, let them spin and weave and do farming." Yuan Xu replied: "Women of childbearing age arrange to marry as soon as possible. Those who are past the age of marriage and childbearing are not completely useless."

"When is your son planning to go back?" Guo Jia said, "The matter of the Huns has come to an end, and there are still many things to do in Hebei."

"I said ten days, so I will give them ten days." Yuan Xu said, "After ten days, when the horses and people are all together, we will return to Yecheng."

King Zuoguli returned to the court of the Huns and told Huchuquan what Yuan Xu had said.

Hu Chuquan looked annoyed: "It's only five or six days, many tribes are far away from here, how can we raise money?"

"Yuan Xianxin insisted not to give the Huns a living." King Zuoguli said, "I don't think the Shanyu should pay attention to him."

"Ignore him, what can we do?" Hu Chuquan said: "The Worthy King of Left and Right led a hundred thousand warriors to fight with him, how many came back?"

"We can't afford to offend, but we still can't afford to go?" King Zuo Guli said, "We can't go to the Central Plains, and the Great Shanyu led us to the Western Regions. The small countries in the Western Regions have a small population. Isn't it easy to conquer them?"

Qu Bei's eyes lit up: "You mean..."

"Don't give him the population, and don't give him the horses." King Zuoguli said, "Da Shanyu immediately led us to the Western Regions. As long as we leave Hetao, I don't believe Yuan Xianxin can catch up."

Hundreds of thousands of horses were all given to Yuan Xu, and the Xiongnu's strength would definitely decline from now on.

And those people who were plundered from the Central Plains also did a lot to strengthen the Huns.

Hu Chuquan really couldn't afford to give all the population and horses to Yuan Xu.

Nodding his head, he said to King Zuo Guli: "You immediately tell the ministries to get ready and follow me to the Western Regions."

"Once the ministries are notified, the ten-day deadline will be up." King Zuo Guli said, "If you want to leave, go now and tell the ministries where to meet."

"It was you who saved the Huns. I will never forget your contribution." Hu Chuquan said to King Zuoguli, "You arrange people to inform the ministries, and I will lead the royal court to leave Hetao."

The Huns migrated without Yuan Xu's knowledge.

Two days later, the scouts brought the news to Juyongguan.

"It seems that the horses of the Huns are no longer available." Upon receiving the news, Yuan Xu said to Guo Jia and others, "They have been walking for two days, and even if they send troops, they will not be able to catch up."

"The Xiongnu left, and Hetao has since fallen into the hands of the son, which is also a credit." Guo Jia said: "It's good to leave someone here to preside over the affairs."

"I don't need the horses, but I can't let them take them away." Yuan Xu said, "I'll go after them alone. Shi Yuan, Jun Yi, and Wen Chang led people out to meet me. Feng Xiao stays at Juyong Pass for the time being."

"Master, go after the Xiongnu alone?" Guo Jia said with a look of astonishment, "It's absolutely impossible!"

"Why not?" Yuan Xu asked, "Could it be that Feng Xiao still doesn't trust me?"

"It's not that you can't trust the young master." Guo Jia said: "There are 10 Huns, and the young master is only one. It's too risky."

"If you don't take risks now, sooner or later, the Huns will come back." Yuan Xu said: "Leave the population, and Hebei will be strong. Let them take them away, and the Huns will become stronger and stronger. There is a powerful enemy, It will eventually become a serious problem for us.”

Guo Jia wanted to persuade him again, but Yuan Xu stopped him: "Feng Xiao doesn't need to say more, I have made up my mind, and I will leave immediately."

"Young master has to take a few people with him when he goes out of customs." Pang Tong said, "It's really difficult for people to be at ease chasing the Xiongnu alone."

"My unicorn travels thousands of miles a day, and it takes only half a day to chase the Xiongnu." Yuan Xu replied, "Bringing a few people with me will actually delay the journey."

He stood up: "Follow orders."

Yuan Xu had made up his mind, Guo Jia and the others knew they couldn't persuade him, so they had no choice but to agree.

A moment later, he rode a unicorn out of Juyongguan.

Earlier, Wei Yan and others followed, so it was not good to rush the unicorn away too fast.

This time no one followed, Yuan Xu urged the unicorn and sped away with all four hooves.

The unicorn was so fast that he felt his face was almost deformed by the wind.

After walking not far, Yuan Xu stopped.

He took out the ghost piano and summoned several souls from different eras.

A moment later, the Necromancer brought him a motorcycle helmet.

Putting on the helmet, he felt a lot better, and he urged the unicorn again, speeding all the way.
