Earth-shaking roars went down the hillside and reached the grassland. A flying cavalry rushed into the camp, dismounted, came to the yurt, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said urgently, "Chanyu, there is a situation among the Zhao army." , all the Zhao troops were shouting 'Zhao Guo will live forever'."

"Ten thousand years of the Zhao Kingdom?" The Xiongnu Shanyu Gutu was a little confused as to why Zhao Jun suddenly went crazy. "Follow me and have a look."

"Hugh." A whistle sounded, and a snow-white war horse galloped from the horizon. In the blink of an eye, it landed next to Shanyu, and kissed his head affectionately on Shanyu's chest.

This is a war horse of extraordinary level.

The Chanyu got on his horse and took a few steps to a small dilapidated city a few miles away from the camp. This was Wuchuan City. It was once the bridgehead for Zhao to attack the Huns. It was later abandoned and is now occupied by the Huns and uses it as a stronghold. , attack the State of Zhao.

Gu Tu stood at the top of the city and looked toward the Great Wall.

"Chanyu, that... seems to be the royal flag of the Zhao Kingdom. It can only be erected by the monarch in person." The guard pointed to the flag above the Great Wall and said excitedly.

Without his men reminding him, the Xiongnu Chanyu had already seen the big flag standing next to the flag of the Great Wall Guards. It was taller than ordinary military flags, with the character Zhao on it fluttering in the wind.

Gu Tu bit his lips tightly and grasped the Hu Dao at his waist tightly with his right hand. His body trembled slightly. After a moment, he immediately turned around and walked towards the camp, "Go and call all the leaders here. In addition, send someone to bring King Xiu and King Lou Fan." Please come and tell me that I have something important to discuss with you two."

If his previous purpose was to weaken the strength of other tribes, better control the Xiongnu, and plunder the Zhao State at the same time. The goal now has become: to capture King Zhao alive.

As long as they can capture King Zhao and occupy Yunzhong and Yanmen, where the water and grass are fertile and the winters are milder, and they cultivate for another ten years, the Xiongnu will become the overlord of the entire grassland.

At that time, no matter Dong Hu, Lou Fan, or Xiu Bao, they will all surrender to him.

In order to achieve his goal, he decided to cooperate with Xiu Wei and Lou Fan to gather all the forces to go south and capture King Zhao alive.

After half an hour, all the Xiongnu tribal leaders rushed over one after another.

These tribes are powerful and have more than ten thousand people who can control strings. Even though we are weak, there are still thousands of people who can control strings. That adds up to two hundred thousand.

Gu Tu was sitting in the main seat, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he was tapping the fingers of his right hand lightly. It was obvious that he was not asleep. The pad under his butt is a tiger skin of extraordinary level. He defeated this tiger back then, broke through to the extraordinary realm, and then defeated all opponents and became the Chanyu of the Huns.

Although he later hunted many tigers, including some of extraordinary level, the one he valued the most was the first one, and he has kept this tiger skin to this day.

"Chanyu, King Xiucheng and King Loufan are still missing." The guard reported.

"Have the warriors who sent the message come back?" Gu Tu raised his eyebrows.

"not yet."

"Then wait a minute." Gu Tu continued to close his eyes.

It took another half an hour before the two tribes sent a general over, but King Xiong and King Loufan did not show up. It was obvious that they did not trust the Huns.

The three tribes have been attacking continuously these days, and the two tribes are in a weak position. There are many tribesmen who have died at the hands of the Huns. Naturally, they do not dare to easily enter the Huns camp.

Gu Tu was a little unhappy, but he was not angry either. He pointed to the empty seats and said, "Please sit down, both of you."

"I wonder what the Xiongnu Chanyu wants to do with us?" General Xiucheng walked across the cliff to the first position on the right, sat down without hesitation, and then said with his hands in hand.

"King Zhao is here, right on the Great Wall." The Xiongnu Chanyu glanced around with cold eyes, stood up, and pointed to the south.

"What!"

Everyone's expressions changed, and they stood up immediately, their faces full of excitement.

When the monarch goes to war, he has the effect of fanaticism. This effect not only affects his own side, but also affects the enemy.

Even the generals of Xiu Rui and Lou Fan could not restrain their excitement after hearing the news.

If we can capture King Zhao alive, this will be a great achievement!

However, soon, everyone realized a problem.

"We have been attacking for so long, but we have not been able to cross the Great Wall. Now that King Zhao is here, he will definitely lead a large army. Wouldn't it be even more difficult for us to defeat him?"

"Yes, almost everyone in Zhao's army wears armor, and their weapons are better than ours. One of them can beat two or even three of us, so I'm afraid we are no match."

"Back then, there was a monarch from the Kingdom of Zhao. I heard that he was called King Zhao Wuling. He had a legion under his command called Zhao Feiqi. Each one of them could match one to a hundred. Even the most powerful legion of the Xiongnu was no match for me."



The Xiongnu leaders discussed one after another, and the generals Xiu Rui and Loufan looked even more ugly. The Xiongnu and Zhao had only had some wars, but their two tribes were forced to be driven from their previous place of residence to the bitter cold place by Zhao.

Sandwiched between Zhao, Yan, Xiongnu, and Donghu, there is always the danger of overthrow.

"I still have 100,000 string-controlling men behind the Xiongnu. We can summon them all. Together with the two troops of Xiongnu and Loufan, we can gather an army of 400,000 to 500,000. As long as we can cross the Great Wall and invade the hinterland of Zhao, Then we can get countless wealth and fine wine, and the winter there is milder, which can help us avoid the cold winter, and the cattle and sheep will not freeze to death on a large scale."

"If we can capture King Zhao alive, we can exchange more land and wealth with Zhao. By then, you Loufan and Xiongnu can regain their old lands, and we, the Huns, can also occupy more pastures. How cold is the winter in the north of Saibei? You also know, do you just want to live here forever and watch all the good places occupied by Zhao State?" Gu Tu said loudly.

General Xiu Rui and General Bai Lang looked at each other and saw the desire in each other's eyes. However, they did not agree immediately. Instead, they held their hands and said, "We still need to go back and discuss it with the king."

After the two left, the Xiongnu Chanyu Gutu looked at the remaining Xiongnu tribal leaders, pointed to the south and said, "You fight here and there every day just to compete for a little bit of pasture and cattle and sheep. Now you just need to conquer that place. There is as much pasture as you want, and you can graze as many cattle and sheep as you want.”

"I know that each of your tribes still have some hidden strength. If you don't bring it out now, it will be too late until Zhao is defeated. I promise that after Zhao is defeated, the divisions will be divided according to the contributions of each tribe. Pasture. I will never let someone make a huge contribution to my Huns, only to get nothing in the end."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally, a leader standing at the front raised his hands and said, "I will send all the troops from behind."

"Thank you for your support, Chief Dadang." Gu Tu said.

Dadang was a powerful Xiongnu man second only to Gu Tu, and his tribe was second only to Gu Tu in strength. After the other party expressed its stance, this matter became less of a problem.

"I will write a letter to King Donghu, using half of the pasture of my Gutu tribe as collateral to borrow 100,000 troops from him."
