"Father Khan!"
The second prince also said, "You are too kind and trusting of these traitors. Have you forgotten how those traitors reduced the population of us Xianbei people on the grasslands before? They wished we would all die! Now that Jiang Ming has gathered the armies of various vassal states, he no longer needs us. He can use the Northern Xiongnu to fight against us and make us so-called Hu people kill each other... Or, we can negotiate with the Northern Xiongnu, form an alliance, and deal with Jiang Ming and his people together."
The fourth prince said, "The Northern Xiongnu... I'm afraid they won't accept our surrender. That Yixie is kind on the outside but treacherous on the inside. He makes friends all over the world on the surface, but he's actually extremely vicious! I still remember... when he first became the Chanyu, he even pulled out the intestines of the stepmother who had scolded him when he was a prince! It's something no human being could do!"

"Why did the Xiongnu do this?"
The little prince pondered, "Perhaps they intend to lure my brother-in-law's reinforcements to the rescue, so they can ambush and eliminate them... After all, the Huns are the home team on the grasslands!"
"fart!"
The eldest prince cursed, "We've reached the end of our rope, and you're still here making excuses for that damned dog and saying nice things!"
"yes!"
The second prince chimed in, "Regardless of Jiang Ming's motives, the outcome is the same for us! No one can save us; we'll be trapped and die on this Great Xianbei Mountain... It's pitiful and lamentable. Our ancestors settled us here as our home, but we never imagined that one day this place would become our grave!"
