Chapter 787: Gathered Is a Ball of Fire, Scattered Is a Sky Full of Stars
After hearing the report, Zhou Bo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked,
"How many people are there and who is leading them?"
Qin Jun quickly replied,
"About ten thousand people, and the leader of the enemy is the second prince of the Huns."
"The second prince of the Huns?"
Zhou Bo's eyes lit up slightly. He and Lu each led five thousand people to execute military orders at the border of the grassland.
Liu Bang and others were at the rear to provide support for them.
It is not uncommon to encounter the Xiongnu here. The two sides have also fought against each other, winning or losing.
It's just that Qin has few soldiers and has no choice to fight with the opponent.
Their original mission was to guard the original grassland of the Qiang and Yuezhi, which would later be the source of Qin's war horses, and then to harass the Huns so that they could not recuperate, but the Huns were decisive this time.
He directly gave up many fertile grasslands and retreated to the deepest part of the grasslands!
They couldn't find each other and had no choice but to give up.
After that, Liu Bang had new orders to go to the surrounding small countries to cause trouble, and at the same time spread the national prestige of the Qin Dynasty.
In case these people have some thoughts that they shouldn't have, there is no problem. This is also the new border of Da Qin. It is the duty of the military to stabilize the border.
As for the order to plunder some people, he did not carry it out.
He is a general, not a slave trader!
Of course, there were also things Qin Jun did privately for money, but he just turned a blind eye.
As long as he doesn't go too far, he won't ruin other people's financial opportunities.
But now there is news about the second prince of the Huns. If he can kill him, it will be a good achievement.
And maybe we can find out where the royal court of the Huns is.
He suddenly felt a little moved and quickly said,
"Gather a thousand men and horses to follow me!"
This time they were looking to see if there was any chance of beheading, and they would not attack directly.
Soon, a thousand Qin cavalry troops followed Zhou Bo out of the camp.
At this time, in a small town, groups of Huns were plundering and massacring wantonly.
They want to grab enough supplies for their tribe before winter comes.
On the top of the city, Yi looked at the tragic images in the city, his face was a little livid, and he said to Erhei beside him,
"Brother Erhei, why did that person suddenly ask us to attack this city?"
Erhei thought for a while and said,
"They should let us get some supplies."
After Yi failed to kill that person last time, he was marginalized a lot as punishment.
A good job like plundering a city is not righteous.
Yi himself actually doesn't care, because his uncle said, don't do unnecessary killings.
But this time, he was suddenly sent out by that person to plunder the city.
"Brother Erhei, when can we get in touch with uncle."
Yi said with a bit of anxiety at this time.
During this period, his life was not easy. If Erhei and the others were not by his side, he didn't know how long he could last.
Erhei said at this time,
"It's coming, it's coming. You must have heard recently that there are also Qin troops around, and there should be men sent by the family master there."
Yi nodded after hearing this, and then said with a bit of pride,
"Brother Erhei, you have to tell your uncle carefully about what I did for him when the time comes."
Erhei patted his chest without hesitation and said,
"Leave this matter to me. If the head of the family finds out, he will definitely be proud of you."
Yi suddenly showed a smile, when he was next to his uncle before.
Because of his age, Li is the most valued, and because Lian is young, he always gets some attention.
Only I, the one in the middle, was somewhat ignored.
Now, he is his uncle's pride.
Listening to Erhei's words, the other young soldiers around him couldn't help but look at each other.
Brother Erhei's ability to tell lies is getting better and better.
Now in this place, it is impossible for them to get in touch with the head of the family.
The head of the family probably thought that all of them were gone now.
How could someone be sent to pick them up?
While Erhei and Yi continued to communicate, a Hun spy hurried over and reported,
"Second Prince! We found traces of the Qin Army!"
Hearing this, he was not surprised but happy, and said to Erhei extremely excitedly,
"Brother Erhei! It's my uncle's person! It must be my uncle's person! What a coincidence!"
Erhei was also stunned for a moment, he never expected that it would be such a coincidence!
They just came over and met the Qin army. Now they can get in touch with the head of the family. He also has a lot of information that he wants to send out!
So he suppressed his emotions and said deliberately,
"This is no coincidence, we just came here..."
Erhei suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
Yes, there is no such coincidence. When they were around before, they did not encounter the Qin army at all, as if someone deliberately obstructed them.
We were just sent here by Moton, and we met him now?
And it looks like both sides have discovered each other.
How could there be such a coincidence?
Thinking of the people Maodun placed next to Yi last time, even though they were cleared out, who can guarantee that all the tribes will be clean?
If someone discovers that they are in contact with the Qin Army...
Thinking of this, Erhei couldn't help but look serious and said quickly,
"Yi, something is wrong, we are going to send people to attack those Qin troops now!"
Without Yi Hei questioning, Er Hei roughly stated his guess. After Yi Hei heard this, he also frowned.
Erhei comforted him repeatedly,
"Now that we know the Qin army is here, we will naturally have a chance."
Yi then nodded and called the soldiers to order:
"Send three thousand men to attack!"
Not long after, three thousand Huns followed the spies and left.
On the grassland, a Qin Army spy rushed past and shouted,
"General! The enemy is attacking!"
Zhou Bo looked at the city in the distance with some regret. They were actually discovered. This group of Huns were quite alert.
Without any hesitation, he turned the horse's head and left with the people.
He won't fight these people head-on.
But he didn't notice that after he took the people away, a Huns spy in the distance left here and went all the way to a Huns camp.
In the middle of the camp, after listening to the report, Mao Dun smiled and said to the guards around him,
"It seems that my second son has returned to the grassland in his heart. Go and give him another five thousand people."
Naturally, he deliberately leaked his whereabouts this time to attract the Qin army and set up this test.
Now that his second son has passed the test, he will naturally be rewarded.
The guard naturally followed the order and left, walked to a camp, and said to the leader,
"Gather five thousand believers and send them to the second prince. He needs to be stronger now!"
Although they were targeted, they learned that the last time the gods annihilated hundreds of thousands of Huns at once.
Their belief in the gods became even stronger.
Who can do such a thing except the power of the gods?
They were even secretly influencing the Huns around them. The Celestial God Sect was slowly growing stronger in the dark.
And the gods have issued oracles before,
"Gathered it is a ball of fire, dispersed it is a sky full of stars."
Now is the time for these people to slowly accumulate strength!
Once the time is right, they will return to the arms of God!
