"These...these are all your troops?"
Huvro could not believe his eyes.
The soldiers, clad in dark armor, were all full of energy and spirit.
The weapons were well-made and gleamed coldly.
Standing atop the city wall from afar, one can feel the overwhelming, chilling aura emanating from them.
Needless to say, they are definitely more formidable than the garrison at Yanmen Pass.
Otherwise, a surprise attack at night would have made him surrender and utterly defeated.
Even if both sides set up their formations and confront each other head-on.
Even 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry might not be a match for them.
Uvro immediately lost his temper.
He knew how powerful the Han army was.
Otherwise, their ancestors would have been so badly beaten and terrified that they split into the North and South.
The Southern Xiongnu chose to submit to the Han Dynasty, accept its control, and pay tribute.
Meanwhile, the Northern Xiongnu migrated westward and went to the Central Plains region to establish themselves as kings and hegemons!
The fear of the Han people was ingrained in their blood.
Yufuluo was taught by Qiangqu from a young age to keep his distance from the Han people.
He requested to take charge of Dingxiang because he couldn't stand his father's nagging.
Yufuluo thought that with only three thousand soldiers guarding Yanmen Pass, he could do whatever he wanted outside the pass.
But to everyone's surprise, Yufuluo offended the prince, which led to the annihilation of the entire Xiongnu army.
"Even so, I advise you to obediently release me."
"Otherwise, even if my father breaks with the Han Dynasty, he will still annihilate you beyond the Great Wall!"
"Decades have passed, and these four counties in Yunzhong have become the land where our Xiongnu people live and thrive!"
"You think you can just take it back like that?"
Huvro maintained a tough stance, but his body trembled slightly.
With such a well-equipped army, Liu Wei could easily march all the way to Shuofang, let alone swagger along. Even if tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry gathered along the way, they would not dare to easily provoke him.
"That's right, I've come here to reclaim the four prefectures and restore order to the area under Yinshan Mountain!"
With a large army backing him up, Liu Wei exuded domineering confidence, "Yu Fuluo, you've seen what you needed to see, and I've told you what I needed to tell you!"
"Letting you go isn't necessarily a bad idea!"
"You only need to leave one thing behind!"
Liu Wei had a mischievous grin on his face.
"Leave...leave what?"
When Yufuluo heard that Liu Wei was going to release him, he thought that Liu Wei still had to consider the Southern Xiongnu to some extent.
After all, even a small number would have four or five hundred thousand people.
There are at least 80,000, if not 100,000, knights who can fight as soon as they mount their warhorses.
No matter how skilled Liu Wei's 10,000 men were, they couldn't possibly wipe out 100,000 Xiongnu warriors in one fell swoop!
Moreover, how could they guarantee their supplies and logistical support when they were fighting deep inland?
Don't think you're invincible just because you ambushed Zenmu.
The Xiongnu cavalry could come at a moment's notice and leave just as easily.
If Liu Wei's army consisted of only one thousand cavalry.
The rest were infantry, and although well-equipped, they were still capable of defending the city and fighting positional battles.
But in open field battles, how could they possibly defeat them?
"I want you to keep your head for later use!"
Liu Wei looked at Yu Fulu with a half-smile and spoke slowly.
"What! You really want to kill me?"
Are you sure you can bear the consequences?
Uvro immediately panicked.
Liu Wei's expression didn't seem like he was joking.
"Yes! I seem to have heard that you are your father's most beloved son."
"How will he react if he finds out you died at my hands?"
Hufro hurriedly cried out, "If you kill me, you will face my father's wrath!"
"Don't think that just because you have so many soldiers, you are nothing in the eyes of us Xiongnu people."
Liu Wei leaned closer and said in a deep voice in front of Yufuluo, "I want to provoke your father so that you Huns will come and fight me."
"A permanent solution to the problems of the four counties in Yunzhong."
"Don't worry, after we destroy your Southern Xiongnu, I will give you a grand funeral."
Only then did Yu Fuluo realize why Liu Wei was so determined to kill him.
It turned out that they were using his head to provoke Qiangqu into a decisive battle.
"Father, oh Father, you still insist on making us obey the Han, but who would have thought they would come to destroy you!"
"I fell for their tricks as well as those other envoys!"
Huvro understood everything and roared from the city wall.
He was unwilling to accept it!
So young, and he hasn't even had enough of the riches and glory yet!
Liu Wei has already done enough for Yu Fuluo by saying so much.
"Lieutenant Liu, since it was Yufuluo who lured you to ambush me."
"Then you shall cut off Juflo's head!"
Liu Wei ignored Yu Fuluo and turned to look at Liu Du.
Liu Du has done so many things to show his sincerity.
They changed their surname, sent their sister and hostages, and the entire clan migrated.
But if Liu Wei wanted to completely bind him to his warship, bloodshed was necessary.
If Liu Du were to kill Yu Fuluo, that would be a pledge of allegiance.
When Liu Du saw Liu Wei looking at him, he knew something was about to happen!
He never expected that Liu Wei would actually order him to kill Yu Fuluo.
This completely cemented his deep-seated hatred for the Xiongnu.
"Budugen, if you dare to kill me, my father will make your entire tribe pay with your life!"
Yu Fuluo never expected that Liu Wei would actually send Liu Du to make the move.
His own head had become a bargaining chip for Budugen's loyalty.
Hufro couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.
If only that envoy had listened to them and carefully escorted Liu Wei to Shuofang when he came.
I doubt I'll become someone's prisoner now, waiting to have my head chopped off.
"Liu Du, aren't you going to make a move? Do you really intend to let him go back alive?"
