When Zhang Liao came to offer his help without asking Liu Wei to send troops to rescue Ding Yuan, Liu Wei promised to send troops after five days to destroy the Xiongnu under the city.

Now, less than five days later, Liu Wei has brought a great flood that has wiped out fifty to sixty thousand Xiongnu people outside Shanwu City.

Qiangqu Chanyu suffered a stroke and fell from his horse, dying from a stroke. Zuo Xianwang Huchuquan fled north in panic.

Before Zhang Liao could even speak, Liu Wei had already taken the initiative to bring it up.

Zhang Liao knew that Liu Wei didn't care about the safety of Ding Yuan and the others trapped in the ruined city, but rather wanted to repay Ding Yuan's kindness on Zhang Liao's behalf so that Liu Wei could bring him under his command.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis! Lord Ding is saved!"

From this perspective, he and Lü Bu, one came to Shanwu, and the other went to Yanmen.

Ultimately, it was his side that achieved results.

Within three or four days, troops can be sent to rescue them.

Conversely, Lu Bu's side probably only arrived at Yanmen a day or two ago.

With few soldiers at Yanmen, it's uncertain whether Lü Bu can even summon reinforcements.

"As far as I know, Ding Yuan was besieged by three thousand Xiongnu cavalry, and on the road from Shanwu to Yanmen, there were also several thousand soldiers under the command of Qiang Qu, a commander of ten thousand cavalry and the Left Grand Commandant."

"Even if the Left Grand Commandant knows that the Xiongnu have been defeated in Shanwu, he will still be an obstacle on our way back to Meiji!"

Liu Wei pondered for a moment and said, "There's no going back on doing good; I'm sure there will be a lot of trouble along the way!"

“My lord, I am willing to lead the Great Wall Legion’s cavalry on this trip!” Xue Rengui immediately stepped forward and said.

As Liu Wei's number one henchman, he was absolutely eager to take on the task without hesitation.

"Captain Xue, you have important matters to attend to," Liu Wei replied immediately.

"My lord, just give me 800 cavalrymen!"

Seeing this, Zhang Liao hurriedly said, "After relieving Lord Ding's siege, I will lead my troops back to the Marquis's side to serve him faithfully."

"Give me eight hundred riders, my lord, and I guarantee I'll return with not a single one missing!"

800!

Not one missing!

The others gasped in surprise.

Along the way, the Xiongnu had a considerable number of soldiers; 800 were hardly enough to fill their teeth.

"Hahaha!"

Liu Wei laughed loudly, "Eight hundred it is! I believe Wen Yuan definitely has the ability to do that!"

It is important to know that thirty-one years later, Zhang Liao led eight hundred brave warriors to launch a surprise attack on Sun Quan's 100,000 troops at Xiaoyao Ford.

Now, Zhang Liao, a young man as fierce as a tiger, could easily launch a surprise attack on the Xiongnu with his eight hundred cavalrymen, all enhanced by the White Robe Army template!

"Captain Xue, Wen Yuan may choose any of the four thousand cavalrymen from the Great Wall Legion!"

"Those selected will be generously rewarded!"

Xue Rengui looked at Zhang Liao with eyes full of admiration.

It's true that ambition knows no age; such a young age, yet such spirit.

Li Su and Liu Du also cast admiring glances at Zhang Liao.

When the two men saw how much Liu Wei valued this young man, Qu Hou, from the Bingzhou governor's mansion, they realized that this man also possessed such courage.

Yao Guangxiao, however, was resting with his eyes closed, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

Zhang Liao was so excited that he immediately knelt down.

This feeling of being trusted fills you with strength.

Zhang Liao had already seen the four thousand cavalrymen of the Great Wall Legion in the past few days.

With superior equipment and exceptional combat skills, no other army in the entire Bingzhou could compare to them.

To Liu Wei, each of the four thousand cavalrymen was a precious treasure.

Liu Wei, however, felt at ease letting Zhang Liao take 800 cavalrymen with him, without worrying that Zhang Liao might not return.

If Zhang Liao had rescued Ding Yuan with these 800 cavalry and returned to Bingzhou, he would have been incredibly powerful.

Not to mention Ding Yuan, even the governor of Bingzhou had to coax him and promote him.

"Wen Yuan, go and select the cavalry now. Xing Ye, let's set off! I think you're already impatient!"

Liu Wei waved his hand, signaling Zhang Liao to set off immediately.

"Lord...Lord, I..."

Deeply moved, Zhang Liao's eyes reddened, he bowed deeply to Liu Wei, and turned to leave.

......

After Zhang Liao left, the discussion continued.

"Captain Xue, tell me all the remaining forces of the Xiongnu!"

Liu Wei sat at the head of the table and asked Xue Rengui to explain the current situation.

"Now the main force of the Xiongnu has been driven back, and the Qiangqu Chanyu is dead, but his son, the Left Wise King Huchuquan, has fled to Yunzhong!"

Xue Rengui stepped forward and began to speak in detail.

His scouts had already thoroughly investigated the general situation beyond the Great Wall.

“This time, he lost five or six thousand men in Shanwu, but he still has at least ten thousand troops under his command, and his followers scattered in the clouds number no less than forty or fifty thousand.”

"Moreover, beyond Yunzhong to the west, in Wuyuan and Shuofang counties, there are still a large number of Xiongnu people living there, led by Qiangqu's younger brother, Zuo Da Danghu Qubei."

"There, two large Xianbei tribes have arrived outside the Yin Mountains: the Tuoba tribe and the Yuwen tribe!"

When Xue Rengui mentioned this, he glanced at Liu Du.

"My lord, they are the two most powerful tribes on the grasslands north of Yinshan Mountain, led by Tuoba Gao and Yuwen Lie, who are brave and skilled in battle."

Liu Du quickly explained, "My tribe and the Kebineng tribe are just small tribes on the grasslands, we can't compare to them!"

Liu Wei frowned. They hadn't even completely dealt with the Southern Xiongnu yet, and now the Xianbei tribe had arrived.

These two Xianbei tribes should not be underestimated. Just by hearing their tribal names and the names of their leaders, one can tell that they belong to the major non-Han ethnic groups that later existed during the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Are they still thinking about the Five Barbarian Invasions in the future?

Then I will solve it from the root cause!

Liu Wei asked calmly, "I will definitely reclaim the four prefectures of Yunzhong, no matter who comes."

"If you come to be our friend, we welcome you. But if you come to seize our Han territory and slaughter and plunder our Han people, then there is only one word: kill!"

Liu Wei's tone was as cold as ice, and Liu Du couldn't help but tremble.

This marquis wiped out 40,000 to 50,000 Xiongnu people with ease, in addition to the 20,000 to 30,000 he had killed in Shanwu, and the 5,000 to 6,000 who were burned to death in the Qingshui River.

If we add that up and kill another ten or twenty thousand, it will be close to one hundred thousand!

The entire Southern Xiongnu population was only four or five hundred thousand!

They killed a quarter of them in one go, and those were all young and strong warriors.

This is outrageous!

Liu Du's entire tribe only had a population of 100,000.

Liu Wei's words sent a chill through the room.

"Captain Xue, keep talking, keep talking!"

Seeing the silence of the group, Liu Wei chuckled and gestured for Xue Rengui to continue.

"My lord, on the main road from Shanwu to Yanmen, there are nearly 10,000 troops under the command of the Left Grand Commandant, as well as the Right Grand Commandant who is said to have gone to Bingzhou."

"In addition, in the Xiongnu city of Meiji, there is a King Guli leading 10,000 troops, as well as more than 100,000 women and children."

"......"

Xue Rengui paused for a moment: "However, so far, there has been no movement from the Han Dynasty's troops in Bingzhou."

"It seems that the remaining forces of the Xiongnu are still scattered in many places, and this elimination plan was not thorough enough!"

Liu Wei shook his head. "Great monk, what do you think?"

Dao Yan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his eyes gleaming with intelligence: "My lord, it's a trivial matter!"

"I will handle this matter entirely; I will be absolutely able to satisfy you!"
