Chapter 94: Yufuluo's Choice

~7 min read 1,245 words

"Military Advisor, do you have anything you need to add?"

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he asked Xi Zhicai beside him.

"The General has already arranged everything properly. This humble one has nothing to add. However, this humble one still wants to say one sentence to everyone."

Xi Zhicai finished speaking, paused, and then continued: "I hope everyone, be careful in everything!"

After speaking, he bowed and cupped his fists to everyone.

"Did you all hear what the Military Advisor said!"

Following Xi Zhicai's voice, Zhang Liao shouted loudly at everyone again.

"Heard clearly!"

Everyone also responded loudly.

"Then this general orders, each lead your subordinates, act according to the plan!"

Following Zhang Liao's order, everyone acted quickly. In less than two hours, the ambush personnel were in place.

Now, just wait for the fish to take the bait!

And at this time, Yufuluo also led the army and started to set off toward Tongguo City.

After walking for about two hours, the scouts who were exploring the way in front reported.

"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, we discovered a valley ten miles ahead, about ten zhang wide, please give instructions, Great Chanyu!"

The scout finished speaking to Yufuluo and waited respectfully on the side, waiting for Yufuluo's reply.

And at this time, Yufuluo's face had become a bit gloomy. He sank his face and said coldly:

"What are you people doing, why did you discover it only now? If the enemy army is ambushing here, then our army will be completely annihilated!"

Speaking to the end, Yufuluo was almost roaring.

Scaring the scout on the side, his face turned a bit pale, and he replied tremblingly:

"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, because our army is rushing to march, the scout team could not explore so far, please forgive me, Great Chanyu!"

"Trash, all a bunch of trash!"

After hearing the scout's words, Yufuluo was immediately furious and scolded angrily.

Seeing Yufuluo's angry appearance, the scout and the people beside him all lowered their heads and remained silent!

Looking at the reaction of the crowd before him, Yufuluo was immediately pained in his liver.

These people, one by one, in normal times, all jumped very happily.

Now, when they needed to speak, one by one, they all pretended to be dumb!

Seeing that these people could not be relied on, Yufuluo cast his gaze toward the scout again and asked him:

"Now, if we don't walk through this valley and detour to Tongguo City, Dingxiang Commandery, how long will it take?"

To tell the truth, Yufuluo really wanted to hear the news that he could detour from the scout's mouth, so that he wouldn't have to walk through this valley.

This kind of terrain, if not explored clearly, if one enters rashly, once ambushed by the enemy, it would be a disaster.

Since ancient times, every general commanding troops feared passing through such terrain the most.

And the scout heard Yufuluo's inquiry, and immediately responded without thinking:

"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, if we want to detour, we have to pass through Yanmen Commandery, which is nearly one hundred li further. In this way, we have to spend three more days on the road."

After the scout finished speaking in a panic, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Yufuluo again.

Without thinking, he knew that Yufuluo, hearing this result, would certainly be furious.

It did not exceed the scout's expectation; following his voice, Yufuluo's angry voice rang out.

"One hundred li! And have to spend three more days!"

"Do you know, if we spend three more days, by the time we arrive, Zhang Liao will have already taken the entire Dingxiang Commandery!"

"At that time, even if we can arrive, do you think that relying on our fifty thousand people, we can take a city guarded by fifty thousand people?"

"Moreover, we are cavalry, tell me, what do we use to take a city guarded by fifty thousand people!"

"Can you?"

"Can you people?"

The angry Yufuluo vented all his anger on the scout and the crowd beside him.

They saw him hysterically roaring and asking the scout, and then cast his gaze toward the crowd beside him, roaring.

Seeing Yufuluo like this, everyone was scared, and they didn't rush to hurry anymore, kneeling to the ground one after another.

Shouting with fear: "We are incompetent, please forgive us, Great Chanyu!"

"What I want is a way to solve the problem. Who among you can solve the current predicament?"

Looking at the group of people kneeling before him, Yufuluo was also helpless. Unwilling to give up, he asked them again.

After hearing Yufuluo's inquiry, everyone's heads were buried even lower.

"You people..."

Looking at everyone's appearance, Yufuluo didn't even want to speak. To tell the truth, at this moment, he really envied the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

If they encountered this situation, the people following them would certainly have a way to solve it.

Instead of being like him, having to rely on himself for everything.

"All get up!"

Waving his hand at the crowd with disappointment, Yufuluo said weakly.

"Many thanks, Great Chanyu!"

Hearing Yufuluo's voice, everyone felt like they had received amnesty and thanked him one after another.

Without paying attention to the crowd, Yufuluo cast his gaze toward the scout and ordered solemnly:

"Add more manpower for me, must explore whether there is an ambush on the mountain, remember, this Chanyu only gives you half an hour."

"After half an hour, if you still haven't explored it, then you don't have to come back!"

The scout heard Yufuluo's words and had a face full of fear. Such two large mountain peaks, how could they be explored in half an hour.

However, under Yufuluo's pressure, he could only endure his anger and agree.

"Yes, this subordinate will go and explore!"

After shouting loudly to Yufuluo, the scout fled quickly.

However, no matter how these scouts explored, they would not discover Zhang Liao and the others. The positions they were hiding in, if not explored carefully, were really not easy to discover.

And the Xiongnu scouts, because of the tight time, only took a rough look at many places, how could they discover Zhang Liao and the others?

Soon, the scout reported the intelligence he had explored to Yufuluo.

And at this time, the people beside Yufuluo also had the courage to speak.

The first to bear the brunt was Huchuquan, who served as the Xiongnu cavalry commander. As Yufuluo's younger brother, he didn't speak before.

At this time, after the scout finished exploring, he dared to speak, and after hearing the scout's words, he said loudly to Yufuluo:

"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, in my opinion, we don't need to worry at all. That Han general Zhang Liao, he couldn't have taken the entire Dingxiang Commandery in such a short time."

"So it's even more impossible that he would appear ten miles outside Tongguo City to set an ambush!"

Following Huchuquan's voice, Mu Shun, the first great general under Yufuluo, also echoed:

"Great Chanyu, Commander Huchuquan is absolutely right. That Zhang Liao, I heard he was just a great general under Lü Bu, I don't know how he got the promotion of the Han Emperor, which is why he became the commander of the Bingzhou army."

"Back then, think of Lü Bu, he didn't have such great ability, let alone him, a tiny Zhang Liao." ===== CHAPTER 95 =====
