Chapter 1467

~6 min read 1,065 words

That night.

On the Mayi Plain, about thirty miles away from Pingcheng Pass.

The twenty thousand Xiongnu army once again set up a camp of several miles.

Dozens of torches were lit around the yurt where Yu Fuluo was, and the surrounding guards all had short swords hanging diagonally, holding torches in one hand.

Inside the yurt, Yu Fuluo, dressed in armor, sat in the main seat, and beside him was Guo Tu.

"We can reach Pingcheng Pass tomorrow. Budugen has already sent someone to deliver a letter. The Xianbei army is already outside Pingcheng Pass. As long as we open the gates of Pingcheng Pass, we can let the Xianbei army in."

Guo Tu, who was kneeling not far from Yu Fuluo, said: "It is time to clean up those who are disobedient."

Yu Fuluo nodded slightly and said: "I have already summoned all the tribal leaders to come here."

Looking at the ruthlessness on Yu Fuluo's face, Guo Tu also dispelled the last trace of worry in his heart.

Things have reached this point, and Yu Fuluo has no way back.

There is only one road left for Yu Fuluo to take; all other choices are dead ends.

The sound of commotion had already come from outside the camp. Yu Fuluo gave a wink to Guo Tu, who was to the side. Guo Tu immediately stood up, walked toward the darkness in the yurt, and pulled up the hood of the black cloak behind him.

Outside the yurt, more than twenty leaders of various Xiongnu tribes had all arrived in front of the yurt.

Except for Xubuguduhou, everyone else was laughing and joking, still making jokes with each other.

Only Xubuguduhou had a grave expression, and he kept his head down, observing his surroundings.

After seeing the unfamiliar faces of the guards around the yurt, the expression on Xubuguduhou's face became even uglier.

It also confirmed the thoughts in his heart even more.

Chanyu Qiangqu had not appeared for several days.

And just yesterday, he received a reply to the secret letter he had sent out.

The content of the reply told him what he should do next.

Cooperate with Yu Fuluo.

No matter what Yu Fuluo wants to do next, cooperate with Yu Fuluo.

If it weren't for this letter, Xubuguduhou would never have come here today, no matter what.

According to his deduction, if Yu Fuluo killed Chanyu Qiangqu, then the next step of action would be to control the military power.

Yu Fuluo was still acting under the orders of Chanyu Qiangqu.

But if Yu Fuluo wanted to do something next, he would definitely have to control the military power, at least to be able to command these twenty thousand troops.

Therefore, this banquet tonight must be a banquet with no good intentions.

Glancing at the open curtain, and watching the many tribal leaders walking into the yurt where Yu Fuluo was, Xubuguduhou gritted his teeth, pressed the hilt of his sword, and walked in with his head lowered.

The spacious yurt could accommodate more than a hundred people.

Except for Yu Fuluo sitting in the main seat, the sides were also filled with sword-wielding guards.

Many tribal leaders had already found their positions according to the size and influence of their tribes.

"Xubuguduhou."

Yu Fuluo beckoned to Xubuguduhou, who walked into the camp, and pointed to the position on the right in the first row on the left and right sides with a smile on his face, saying: "This is your position tonight."

Xubuguduhou knew what was going to happen tonight, so he simply suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, straightened his chest, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed to Yu Fuluo: "Thank you, Right Worthy Prince."

The greatest of the Xiongnu is the Chanyu, followed by the Left and Right Worthy Princes.

The position in the first row should be Yu Fuluo's, that is, the position of the Right Worthy Prince.

Now Yu Fuluo let Xubuguduhou sit in the position of the Right Worthy Prince.

After everyone was seated, Yu Fuluo slowly picked up the silver wine bowl placed in front of him.

The wine bowl was filled with mare's milk wine.

As Yu Fuluo picked up the wine bowl, all the leaders in the yurt closed their mouths and looked at Yu Fuluo.

"Tonight, I toast to the great Xiongnu, I toast to the Great Chanyu," Yu Fuluo said, picking up the silver wine bowl: "Do you know where we are now?"

Many leaders looked at each other and then shook their heads.

Everyone knew the general direction that this was Yanmen Commandery, but few people really knew where it specifically was.

Yu Fuluo pointed in the direction behind him and said: "There, about thirty miles away from us, is called Pingcheng, and there is a pass there called Pingcheng Pass."

"Do you know why there is a pass there called Pingcheng Pass?"

Many Xiongnu leaders shook their heads.

Xubuguduhou also didn't know what Yu Fuluo was going to say next.

He could only listen silently and watch silently.

"Since that is the case, then I can tell everyone."

"Because not far from Pingcheng, there is another place called Baideng!"

"You don't know Pingcheng, but you must have heard of Baideng Mountain."

At this, all the Xiongnu leaders present nodded.

Baideng Mountain.

One of the most glorious things in the hundreds of years of the Xiongnu happened at Baideng Mountain.

"Back then, our ancestors once led forty thousand iron cavalry to step over the Yinshan Mountains, surrounded the Han Dynasty's founding emperor Liu Bang there, and forced their founding emperor Liu Bang to pay tribute to us and let their princess come to our grasslands!"

The yurt fell into silence once again.

In the seventh year of Emperor Gao Zu of Han, Liu Bang personally led more than thirty thousand troops to attack King Xin of Han, broke his army at Tongti, and broke his coalition with the Xiongnu at Jinyang.

At that time, Liu Bang thought the Xiongnu were nothing more than this, so he led his troops to continue forward.

And the Xiongnu Chanyu at that time, Modu, deliberately hid his strong troops and sent out some old and weak cavalry to let the scouts sent by Liu Bang think that the Xiongnu were strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
