Chapter 55 If you dare kill one of my people, I will kill two of yours!



"Haha, you actually want to outnumber me?"

Liu Wei couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

At this moment, Liu Wei's points have been cleared since he last exchanged for three thousand cavalrymen and fully equipped them with templates.

Subsequently, Xue Rengui set fire to the Xiongnu vanguard, Liu Wei discovered Daihai Lake, and after subduing Li Su, prepared to flood Shanwu. The Xiongnu army arrived at the city.

The first battle between the two sides ended just three days later.

In three days, Liu Wei accumulated more than 240,000 points.

Aside from providing Li Su with three thousand able-bodied men in Daihai, Liu Wei did not use any more.

Upon hearing that Qiang Qu actually outnumbered him, Liu Wei immediately burst into laughter.

You ignorant fool, don't you know what the Peerless Lord System is?

A new soldier can be added to a fiefdom every second!

I can convert hundreds of thousands of people into one in a minute, and drown you with their spittle!

Why waste time talking so much nonsense?

"Since we've already become enemies, let's continue fighting!"

"You called me out to answer now just to spout this nonsense?"

"If you're not satisfied, then gather your troops and attack the city!"

"I heard you have two sons. I've killed one of you, so the other one better come and die!"

"If you have a daughter, quickly bring her to warm my feet!"

Liu Wei mocked.

Presumably, Qiangqu's other son, the Left Wise King Huchuquan, has led a large army to the pass of Manhan Mountain and will soon arrive in Shanwu.

Liu Wei is waiting to take them all down at once.

"Liu Wei, stop trying to outwit me!"

"What kind of skill is it to guard the city walls and use despicable means to hinder my army's attack? If you have the guts, come out of the city and fight our army with real swords and spears!"

Upon hearing that Liu Wei had killed his eldest son and had ordered him to bring his daughter to warm her feet, Qiang Qu was furious.

"Am I stupid? Would I really leave the city to fight you?"

Liu Wei was not easily provoked by him, "If you have the guts, then come and attack the city!"

"Your Majesty, stop wasting your breath on him! Just ask him if he's leaving the city or not. If he's not leaving, kill him!"

King Jianjiang, standing to the side, was very depressed.

When Qiangqu came to the city, he chatted with Liu Wei for a long time, but apart from empty talk, there seemed to be no substance to their conversation.

He couldn't understand why a dignified Chanyu would do such useless things.

Therefore, Wang hurriedly spoke up to remind him.

Are you teaching me how to do things?

Qiang Qu lost the argument with Liu Wei and harbored resentment. He then began to boss Wang around, which only fueled his anger.

Hearing Qiang Qu's unfriendly tone, Jianjiang Wang quickly shut up and stepped aside.

"Liu Wei, listen to me! Send your troops out of the city immediately and fight alongside my army. If you do, I will respect you as a true hero!"

"If you cower in the city, don't blame me for being impolite!"

“If you do not leave the city, I will begin killing people until you leave the city.”

Qiangqu then shouted loudly towards the city wall.

Liu Wei and Xue Rengui exchanged a glance and chuckled.

He initially thought that Qiangqu was driving away these Han Chinese civilians to cover their attack on the city.

But they were using them as leverage to threaten Liu Wei into leaving the city to fight.

Ultimately, the Huns were still somewhat less intelligent.

Liu Wei breathed a slight sigh of relief as he watched as the Xiongnu outside the city had amassed tens of thousands of cavalry, who pressed forward in dense swarms like ants.

"My lord, we have four thousand cavalrymen. We can go out of the city and fight them!"

Xue Rengui immediately said.

"In addition, my troops have three thousand cavalry, which is enough to confront Qiangqu head-on and quell his arrogance!"

Liu Du also spoke up from the side.

"My lord, I am but a humble general, but if the cavalry is to go out of the city to fight, I am willing to be the vanguard!"

Zhang Liao also volunteered.

Last night I received a reward from Liu Wei, and I'm thinking about doing something to repay him.

Zhang Liao was skilled in archery and horsemanship, and this was exactly what he wanted to do to go out of the city to kill the enemy.

Seeing the three men eager to try, Liu Wei said, "Captain Xue, the city defense is entirely your responsibility. I shouldn't be involved."

"But this time I want to make the decision on my own!"

"They're provoking us, so we can't let them have their way. Let them just watch helplessly!"

"Your cavalry, take good care of yourselves these next few days. Five days from now, the annihilation of the Xiongnu will depend on your seven thousand cavalry!"

Xue Rengui frowned, naturally thinking of the overwhelming flood that would sweep across Daihai Lake five days later.

Liu Du and Zhang Liao were completely bewildered, having no idea why.

However, Liu Wei forbade the cavalry to leave the city to fight, and they naturally obeyed his orders.

"What about the thousands of Han Chinese civilians outside the city? The Xiongnu are really ruthless!" Zhang Liao said worriedly.

"They have Han Chinese civilians to threaten them, but don't we have them too?"

"Commander Xue, those 20,000 Xiongnu people have been kept in the city for several days and have consumed their food supplies. They can come in handy now!"

Liu Wei smiled calmly, "Are there several thousand Han Chinese civilians below the city?"

Xue Rengui said, "About three thousand people!"

"Then bring three thousand Xiongnu soldiers to the city wall!"

“If he dares to kill my people, I will kill his clansmen.”

“If he kills one of us, we will kill two of him.”

"Either we trade one for one, or we exchange our Han Chinese people for his Xiongnu people."

Liu Wei's voice was as cold as ice.

Zhang Liao was shocked, never expecting Liu Wei to use such a tit-for-tat approach to break the deadlock.

In this way, the three thousand people who had been taken hostage by the Xiongnu outside the city would naturally not blame Liu Wei.

The Han Chinese people in Shanwu City would not complain that Liu Wei failed to come to their aid.

Furthermore, it can also solve the problem of the Xiongnu prisoners in the city consuming food and fodder.

Of course, they wouldn't fall for the Xiongnu's tricks and go out of the city to fight them, making them hate them to the core.
