"Qiangqu and his two sons all perished at the hands of this Han prince, a loss I deeply regret."
"We are both neighbors of the grasslands and we respect the same eternal sky. This time, we will send troops to make this prince pay for his blood debt."
Tuoba Gao was indignant and agitated, denouncing Qiangqu as if he were Qiangqu's deceased parents.
Although Qu Bei was vying with Hu Chuquan for the position of Chanyu, he also secretly colluded with the Xianbei people.
But as the saying goes, "When the rabbit dies, the fox grieves," and Qiangqu Yufuluohuchuquan was his own brother and nephew.
After Huyanqimai's defeat, Huchuquan sought help from the Xianbei, but Tuoba Gao held back his troops, preparing to reap the benefits.
Qu Bei later learned about these things as well.
Now, the Southern Xiongnu are reduced to a single heir in the four commanderies of Yunzhong, and they have no choice but to submit to their fate.
How could he not know what the Xianbei people were planning?
Now, he'd be grateful if he could just keep his fertile land in the Shuofang Hetao Plain.
Qu Bei immediately put on a grateful expression.
Tuoba Gao laughed heartily:
"Now that Wuyuan has been recaptured and Manyi Valley is under control!"
"Yuwen Lie, then proceed according to your plan. Tomorrow, surround Yunzhong City, cut off the water supply, and dig tunnels!"

Meanwhile, night fell.
But Liu Wei's mansion in Cloud City was brightly lit.
"My lord, the strategist has returned from Dingxiang and will be back in the city tonight!"
"The 30,000 soldiers and civilians of Shanwu have already withdrawn from Shanwu and are crossing the Manhan Mountains to enter Wujin to set up camp!"
"The 20,000 Xianbei troops from Shuofang have arrived outside the city."
"The lady and all the families of the Marquis's household are well."
"My lord, the Bingzhou army in Shaling has retreated, and Colonel Zhang Liao is leading his troops back at top speed."
"......"
One after another, Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) appeared like ghosts in the council hall of Liu Wei's mansion in Cloud City, reporting the latest intelligence.
Xue Rengui, Liu Du, Shen Lian, and other officers, along with the Xuanjia Cavalry, the Cavalry Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Doyan Three Guards, gathered together.
Their faces were grave as they listened to the continuous stream of intelligence and looked at Liu Wei, the leader.
Liu Wei remained expressionless.
Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes!
"My lord! Please give the order!"
