This scene terrified the other captured civil and military officials, who trembled like leaves!
Killing a person was no different from crushing an ant for Yelü Junba.
On the contrary, he was more concerned about why Pei Shaozhu was unhappy.
Pei Shaozhu is currently of great importance to him and has become Yelü Junba's trusted advisor.
"Then tell me why you are unhappy, and I will grant your wish."
"Beauty, fine wine, money—I'll give you whatever you want."
Pei Shaozhu shook his head upon hearing this.
"I'm just a little uneasy."
Yelü Junba was puzzled upon hearing this, but then burst into laughter.
"How can I be uneasy when the army is advancing with unstoppable momentum? Even if the reinforcements from Dali arrive, I have no fear now that most of Liangzhou is in my grasp!"
At this moment, Yelü Junba's goal had changed from the initial goal of raiding the enemy's territory to the more ambitious goal of heading south to capture the emperor.
Pei Shaozhu was not as optimistic as Yelü Junba.
According to the information he received, the 180,000-strong army of Dali had already left the pass and entered Liang.
The first battle between the two sides is just around the corner in the next two or three days!
Once the reinforcements from Dali arrive, the subsequent battle to breach the city will definitely not be as simple as it is now!
80,000 Xiongnu cavalry vs. 180,000 elite Dali troops!
Although there is a difference in numbers, the two sides are basically equal in strength.
Even if they couldn't win, the Xiongnu cavalry could still retreat with ease.
Therefore, Pei Shaozhu did not feel afraid.
Just as Pei Shaozhu was pondering the source of his unease...
Outside the banquet, a messenger rushed in.
With the arrival of the messenger, news came that shocked all the Xiongnu generals!
Yelü Junba, whose interest had been interrupted, frowned and asked.
"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"
The messenger knelt on one knee and spoke in a trembling voice.
"Reporting to the Left Wise King, the defeated troops from the rear have reported that He Lan, the commander of ten thousand men who was left to guard outside Fuling City, has been killed in battle! Ten thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen have been completely annihilated!"
"Three thousand Han soldiers have already occupied He Lan's camp, cutting off the army's retreat!"
