Chapter 374

Lose?

He did not think Lu Bu would lose.

He was confident about that.

Dampen the Xiongnu's spirit, dampen Lu Bu's arrogance.

These two points did not conflict.

And most importantly, he also wanted to see where Chanyu Qiangqu's bottom line was.

Thinking of this, Duan Yu sighed in his heart.

It is really inconvenient not to have a strategist by one's side.

It's a pity Guo Jia is too young now; it's impossible for him to come with him.

Otherwise, he would have invited Guo Jia when he was in Luoyang.

And Guo Jia is still in the growth stage, with much to learn before becoming the "Ghost Talent" he would later be.

Jia Xu has gone to Liangzhou.

It is truly inconvenient not to have a usable strategist by one's side.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to consider these things himself.

The reason he wanted to see Qiangqu's bottom line was advice Jia Xu had given him before he left Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is a rather special place.

To govern Liangzhou well, the first priority is to govern the Qiang and Xiongnu well.

This is the key.

There are over a million Qiang people in Liangzhou, more than double the number of Han people.

Just the various Qiang tribes number in the dozens.

Wanting to thoroughly govern Liangzhou is not a simple matter.

His plan is to make Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and the Sanfu region his future base.

Under these circumstances, the Xiongnu and Qiang tribes, the two largest power groups in Liangzhou and Bingzhou, must be handled properly.

Let's wait and see.

On the other side.

Where Chanyu Qiangqu sat.

The crafty Chanyu Qiangqu was chewing on milk crisps.

"Father, this Han dynasty envoy seems different from the previous Han envoys," Princess Suhe said.

Chanyu Qiangqu nodded slightly: "He... is more formidable than rumored."

"We must be careful in dealing with this person."

As Chanyu Qiangqu was speaking, Lu Bu, who was standing on the training ground on his horse, could no longer wait.

With a flick of his wrist and his arm pressed down, Lu Bu raised his Painted Halberd, pointed it in Qiangqu's direction, and shouted: "Come!"

"Send your Xiongnu warriors out to fight!"

Chanyu Qiangqu glanced left and right, then said loudly in the Xiongnu language: "The victor will be rewarded with a thousand head of cattle and sheep, and their rank will be raised by one level; who will go out to fight?"

No sooner had Chanyu Qiangqu's words fallen than dozens of Xiongnu soldiers stood up from his left and right.

After scanning them, Chanyu Qiangqu chose a Xiongnu chiliarch.

The Xiongnu chiliarch didn't waste words, vaulted onto his horse, and holding a weapon as thick as a goose egg, embedded with iron nails at both ends like a mace, he charged toward Lu Bu while screaming wildly!
