Chapter 1207

Duan Yu nodded slightly and said: "You are the son of the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu, and the younger brother of this lord's wife."

"Do not lose face for your father, and do not lose face for your sister."

"Huchuquan, take the order!" Duan Yu said, looking at Huchuquan.

Huchuquan stepped out from behind the desk, then cupped his hands and lowered his head: "The end general Huchuquan takes the order."

"This lord gives you three thousand Xiongnu volunteers to follow Qu Yi north to Tianshan to intercept the Northern Xiongnu moving south."

Duan Yu turned his gaze to Qu Yi again: "Qu Yi."

The tall Qu Yi stood up: "The end general is here."

"You will personally lead your own Vanguard Camp as the commander, with Cao Ren as deputy, and I will give you Pang De and Hao Zhao, and three thousand infantry to go together to the Tianshan Mountains to intercept the Northern Xiongnu moving south."

"Xi Zhong will go with the army as the army clerk."

"The order this lord gives you is: do not allow the Northern Xiongnu cavalry to step across the Tianshan Mountains even one step!"

"Otherwise, you will be dealt with by military law. If you feel you cannot complete this task, say so now."

Qu Yi, Huchuquan, Cao Ren, Pang De, Hao Zhao, and others all stood up immediately.

"We, the end generals, swear to complete the task."

"Please rest assured, my lord, the end general will absolutely not let a single mosquito fly over the Tianshan Mountains!" Qu Yi said with a serious face.

Duan Yu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, this lord believes in you, but it is just a mere Northern Xiongnu."

"Everyone else, before noon, perform your duties, break camp, and set off. The target is the Wusun main coalition army!" Duan Yu said in a deep voice.

PS: The "Records of Wei" records: Taizu (Cao Cao) first had Lady Ding, and Lady Liu gave birth to son Xiu and Princess Qinghe. Liu died early, and Ding raised son Xiu.

Zi Xiu = Zi Xiu, which is Cao Ang. I previously saw readers mentioning Cao Ang's courtesy name. For the sake of being easy to understand and to accommodate the vast majority of readers, I am accustomed to using 'Zi Xiu' as used in most books.

Princess Qinghe (birth year unknown - death year unknown), daughter of Emperor Wu of Wei, Cao Cao, and his concubine Lady Liu.

But according to the time Cao Ang was adopted by Lady Ding, Lady Liu died early, so Princess Qinghe's age was younger than Cao Ang's, so in the book, it is set as three years old.
