Dugu Yan took the child from Jiang Ming's arms and let him go play by himself...
"Great Khan!"
Dugu Yan said, "I just heard that the Northern Xiongnu have returned!"
"yes!"
Jiang Ming pondered and said, "The current Northern Xiongnu are ruled by Sahehan, the son-in-law of the former Chanyu Yixie'er... This man is cunning, no less than Yixie'er... His current harassment of the Zhao border is a pretense. I think... he is using a feint to the east while attacking the west. His real target is the northern border of our Yan state!"
"Um!"
Dugu Yan nodded: "Great Khan, there's something that's been bothering me for a while!"
"oh?"
Jiang Ming asked with a smile, "What's bothering you? Could it be... that Changsun Yuenu has upset you again?"

Jiang Ming waved his hand to refuse: "Yan'er, it's not that I don't want you to go, it's just... the Northern Xiongnu are different from the Southern Xiongnu. The Northern Xiongnu are much stronger. Back then, I personally led the elite of the elite to fight against the main force of the Northern Xiongnu. It was almost a life-for-life exchange, and we didn't gain any advantage. If you go... you will definitely suffer!"
"not necessarily!"
Dugu Yan said, "Great Khan, don't always look at people with such old eyes. I have my own plans. Seventy or eighty thousand men are enough. I am confident that I can defeat the Northern Xiongnu, so that the Great Khan can deal with the rebels with peace of mind!"
"Oh? Tell me, what good ideas do you have?" Jiang Ming asked with interest.
