Then the Left Wise King looked at his personal guards and said coldly, "Cut off all the heads of these Juyan people, and then throw them into Juyan City with me!"

"promise!!"

The guards obeyed the order and left, then began to lead the men to clean up the battlefield and collect the heads of the Juyan people.

Meanwhile, in Juyan City, King Tuoqi of Juyan was holding a grand banquet in the palace, waiting with a group of officials and nobles for his men to return with their spoils once again.

As for whether raiding the Xiongnu tribe would provoke retaliation from the Xiongnu, they didn't care at all, because it was winter and ordinary people wouldn't go out to fight. Besides, they had also instructed their men not to leave any survivors.

Even if the Xiongnu learned of this and wanted to retaliate, they would have to wait until next spring.

When Tuo Qi killed the Xiongnu envoy, he had already anticipated that the Xiongnu would attack them.

Therefore, when he sent people to plunder the Xiongnu tribes, he sent an envoy from Juyan to Jincheng to ask the Han Dynasty for help, and the Han Dynasty agreed to his request and would send troops to help them resist the Xiongnu before they attacked.

Therefore, the King of Juyan and his officials and nobles recklessly sent people to plunder the Xiongnu, all hoping to gain as much benefit as possible before the war next year.

The next morning, the Left Wise King left behind more than two hundred Xiongnu cavalrymen to protect the women and livestock that had been abducted by the Juyan people. Then, he led his army and the heads of the Juyan soldiers towards Juyan City.

As they sped along, a guard looked at the Left Wise King with a puzzled expression and asked loudly, "Your Majesty, why didn't you summon those people from the Kingdom of Shi who came to surrender when we attacked Juyan this time? That would have reduced our losses!"

The Left Wise King said in a deep voice, "They have only recently joined us. It would be unwise to rashly conscript them before we have figured out their intentions. Moreover, their previous few thousand soldiers were just captured by the Han army and a mound of skulls has been erected! I'm afraid they won't dare to send troops out easily again!"

"Your Majesty, do you think they might attack our brothers who stayed behind? After all, we're not far from here!"

As he spoke, the guard looked eastward with a worried expression.

The Left Wise King shook his head and said solemnly, "It shouldn't be. They came to join us! How dare they attack our people?"
