"In a moment, I will send someone to escort you through the pass. You can bring your cattle, horses, and sheep with you. Once you reach the local government, you can take back your own livestock one by one. However, you must not lie and take more than you are entitled to, or you will be severely punished!"
The people kowtowed in gratitude after hearing Qin Chuan's words, promising to follow them faithfully.
After kowtowing, the old man who had been questioned earlier cautiously asked, "Sir, you look unfamiliar. May I ask... what official position do you hold?"
"This is the Imperial Advisor!" said a military officer behind Qin Chuan.
"So it's the Imperial Advisor!"
"Thank you so much, Your Excellency, for your great kindness and virtue!"
"I have long heard of the Imperial Advisor's rescue of refugees from Shandong and Henan provinces. The Imperial Advisor is truly a great and upright official who serves the country and its people!"
The people spoke from the bottom of their hearts.
Qin Chuan ordered them all to get up, lead their livestock, and then be escorted to Longmen Pass by a hundred soldiers.
After cleaning up the battlefield, An Dingguo also arrived with the remaining troops.
Qin Chuan said to him, "General An, it's fortunate that we didn't send our entire army, otherwise these people would surely have died."
An Dingguo is indeed a veteran with rich combat experience. It seems that we should consult with him more often before making decisions in the future.
An Dingguo didn't say anything about this, but instead asked about the next main attack direction.
Unable to extract the location of the royal court from the Xiongnu leader, Qin Chuan suggested continuing northwards as they could only advance in one direction.
An Dingguo said, "The further north we go, the colder the weather becomes. The soldiers don't carry much food, and their clothes aren't thick enough. The main fighting force of the Xiongnu is attacking Loulan in the west. With such fighting force, we can definitely fight a decisive battle against the main force of the Xiongnu's 100,000 cavalry."
After witnessing the practical results brought about by the composite bow, An Dingguo suggested that instead of going to the Xiongnu royal court, they should directly engage in a decisive battle with the 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry.
Qin Chuan had someone bring him a map. The current location was about three or four thousand miles away from the Loulan and Southern Xiongnu front lines, but with motorcycles, it would only take two or three days to get there.
"Alright then, let's head west!"
Qin Chuan decided to follow An Dingguo's advice and head west.
