Only then did Han Xin see slightly clearly that it seemed to be a Xiongnu.

But he could not be sure if it was.

When that person opened his mouth, it was finally confirmed that it was a Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu was at the foot of the Great Wall, looking up at the faint firelight on the Great Wall.

Thinking there were people guarding it, he did not dare to break in.

He was afraid of being shot and killed, which was why he stopped.

The person who came was precisely Modu's follower.

He had traveled for four or five days before finally arriving here.

He could only shout here and did not dare to enter.

The white cloth in his hand was shaking non-stop.

The people on the Great Wall were afraid of an ambush and did not respond.

A good while passed directly, and there was not a trace of movement behind that person.

"It should be only him alone."

"Go down and bring him up."

"Find another person who can speak the Xiongnu language."

Han Xin saw there was only one person, but he did not relax his vigilance.

Who knew if there were more Xiongnu cavalry in the distance.

Soon, soldiers went to execute the order.

The person under the Great Wall was quickly brought up.

This was a young and sturdy Xiongnu.

However, this Xiongnu was trembling slightly all over, his face pale.

It was unknown if it was from fear or fatigue.

He was still muttering something in his mouth.

But Han Xin and the others could not understand at all, thinking he was cold.

They had no choice but to pull him to the side of the bonfire to warm up together.

After all, this person suddenly appearing here, no matter how one looked at it, it was abnormal.

Now he was still of use; they needed to interrogate some things.

"When will the translator come?"

"Should be soon, someone went to find one."

"Pay attention to the movement outside the Great Wall."

"General Han, should we notify the Grand General now?"

"Now in the middle of the night, we don't know the situation yet, wait until we ask clearly."

Han Xin shook his head; at this time it was already the Chou hour, and it would be dawn in a while.

Disturbing Grand General Meng Tian without knowing anything was not appropriate.

At least they had to get the matter clear first.

Otherwise, just because of one Xiongnu, they would make such a big fuss; if it spread out, it would invite ridicule.

Beside the bonfire.

Han Xin sat opposite that Xiongnu.

Accompanying him to warm up by the fire.

It was unknown if the Xiongnu saw no one beating him, or if he was truly cold.

After squatting by the bonfire for a while, his body gradually returned to calm and stopped trembling.

At this time, a soldier walked over quickly.

"Greetings, General Han."

"Hmm, you have a detailed talk with him."

"See what is going on."

"Must ask the matter clearly."

"Pay attention to whether the other party is lying or something."

"Understood!"

The soldier also squatted beside the bonfire.

And started communicating with that Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu saw that he could understand the language and became excited.

Subsequently, the two had a burst of muttering.

And the remaining soldiers, although curious, did not surround them.

Instead, they looked vigilantly at the darkness outside the Great Wall.

Preventing Xiongnu cavalry from suddenly attacking from outside.

Half an incense stick later.

That translator soldier and the Xiongnu finished muttering.

Han Xin also sat on the side waiting patiently.

"General Han, the situation is a bit bad."

"If what this Xiongnu said is all true."

The translator soldier's expression was a bit serious.

"What happened?"

"Speak slowly."

Han Xin's body also sat up a bit straighter.

He wanted to see what kind of news this Xiongnu would bring.

Whether it was a trap or real news, it depended on how to judge it.

The second young master Maoshi of the Xiongnu tribal alliance framed Crown Prince Modu to go to the Dayuezhi as a hostage.

Crown Prince Modu therefore sent someone to report the news, saying that the second young master led fifty thousand cavalry to come here to create chaos and wanted to save people.

The translator soldier told the conflict between the two brothers Modu.

The two calculated against each other, looked at each other with displeasure, and told all the things.

"Fifty thousand cavalry coming to sneak attack?"

"Dayuezhi?"

"Hostage?"

Han Xin captured these new vocabulary words.

Regarding the sneak attack, he did not think much.

He did not know about the Dayuezhi either.

This was the first time he had heard of it.

But he knew about a hostage; that was a strong force demanding hostages from a weak force.

Then if that was the case.

Wouldn't this Dayuezhi be even stronger than the Xiongnu?

Otherwise, how would they unilaterally demand a hostage?

This was big news.

He did not expect that outside the vast grassland, there was not only the Xiongnu, but also something called the Dayuezhi.

He had not stayed at the northern border for long and did not know about this matter.

Grand General Meng Tian had stayed here for a long time.

Would Grand General Meng Tian know about this matter?

"You ask what the situation of the Dayuezhi is."

"Where did this force pop out from?"

"Besides this Dayuezhi, see if there are any other forces."

"Find them all out together." ===== CHAPTER 712 =====
