Chapter 838: Surrender

The Qin army on the grassland did not move quickly, but sent out a large number of spies.

In the evening, the Qin army began to arrange their camp for the night.

Many people took out a shovel and started digging holes around the camp to prevent enemy cavalry from raiding the camp.

On the grassland, once the enemy attacks a camp with a large group of cavalry, there is almost no room for resistance.

When in the mainland of Daqin, defensive measures such as blocking horses are usually set up. However, there are very few trees on the grassland and it is inconvenient to carry. Fortunately, one person and one shovel can solve these problems more perfectly.

Zhang Liang was discussing matters with Zhou Bo and Lu at the top of the camp.

"General Lu, we have been investigating for a few days, but have we found any trace of the Xiongnu's new chanyu?"

Zhang Liang asked at this time.

Lu shook his head indifferently and returned,

"We have only set out not long ago, and we only know the general direction. Although we met some Xiongnu herdsmen, it is not that easy to find the tribe of the Xiongnu Chanyu."

"But we don't have to be too anxious. If the Huns want to leave here, they can only take this road to the west. Most of the city-states close to the grassland are within our monitoring range. It is impossible for the Huns to escape unscathed."

Zhang Liang knew that the other party was telling the truth. It was difficult to imagine the vastness of the grassland until he came up there.

Not to mention the ten thousand Qin troops, even if one hundred thousand were thrown into the grassland, it would not be easy to find them.

As Lu was talking at this time, he couldn't help but sigh,

"Tsk, His Highness the Crown Prince is really a man of God. When he was still a general, he made Mao Dun suffer. Now he directly destroyed the Huns' royal court without even sending a large army."

The part of the Qin army that followed Zhao Lang had always called themselves the Prince's Guards.

He will always find every opportunity to praise Zhao Lang.

When Zhang Liang heard this, he could only squeeze out a smile and echoed a few times.

After discussing with the two of them for a while, Lu said at this time,

"Now we can only find it step by step. If there is no hurry, I will dig a hole with my brothers first."

After saying that, Lu left here directly. After finishing his own affairs, working with the soldiers was a tradition left by His Highness the Crown Prince. This is why this group of people is extremely united. Even if he is a general now, Keep doing this.

After Lu Bu left, Zhou Bo said to Zhang Liang,

"Brother, don't worry. We will all contribute to this battle."

In Zhou Bo's eyes, the other party was a person who desperately wanted to make meritorious deeds.

Otherwise, he would not have deliberately tampered with the documents and sent Liu Bang to the grassland, let alone encouraged them to stay in the grassland.

Of course, this is not a disadvantage in their view. A man is born in heaven and earth and should make contributions!

Hearing this, Zhang Liang just forced out a smile and then said,

"Thank you, Brother Zhou. We will make great contributions this time. I have to go and watch the back camp so I won't stay any longer."

After saying that, he bowed and left.

Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Zhou Bo shook his head slightly and said to himself,

"Brother Liang is also a talented person. He is good at everything, but he is a little too utilitarian. Well, next time I have a chance, I will recommend more to His Highness the Crown Prince."

After all, he still has a brotherly relationship with the other party, which he can use, and it is not for his own personal gain. He has a clear conscience.

In the next few days, the Qin army was still marching along the way, but they captured a lot of small tribes. Now they would not kill each other directly, but capture them and sell them as slaves, which was also the income of the army.

On the way to the march that day, suddenly a Qin Army spy came galloping from a distance and shouted,

"A large number of cattle and sheep were discovered twenty miles ahead of the general!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly became energetic. A large number of cattle and sheep meant that there was a large tribe.

And now the only people who can own so many cattle and sheep are those who came from the royal court of the Huns.

As the commander-in-chief, Zhou Bo even shouted directly,

"Explore again! Find out the enemy's situation! Provide guidance for the army!"

"Command the entire army to prepare for battle!"

All the Qin troops immediately began to prepare for battle.

Lu Bu was also preparing to lead his men towards the side of the enemy.

Ten thousand of them can be divided into two groups and attack from different directions, which will cause greater damage.

But neither of them noticed that Zhang Liang's face changed slightly at this time, his eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly said,

"Two generals, wait!"

Both of them couldn't help but look at it. Zhang Liang said quickly at this time,

"The two generals, in my humble opinion, should send an order to the other side first to see if they can surrender."

Zhou Bo returned directly at this time,

"If this group of people would have surrendered, they would not have left the Huns' court at that time."

"Suggesting surrender now will only alert the enemy and make them more prepared."

According to his idea, soldiers are valuable and quick, so they should launch an attack now!

Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and said,

"Brother Zhou, have you forgotten the military report that His Highness the Crown Prince has given me?"

"Now the new Chanyu of the Xiongnu is a disciple of His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Hearing this, Zhou Bo hesitated immediately. When His Highness the Crown Prince used his princes Fusu and Gao to send Maodun's three sons back to the Huns, they all knew about it.

He even laughed at these two princes in private and was taken advantage of by his own highness.

But this also shows from the side that the relationship between the Xiongnu boss Shanyu and His Royal Highness is indeed very close.

Just as Zhou Bo was hesitating, Lu on the side said,

"We are soldiers, and Da Qin's military order requires us to prevent the other party from evacuating. These relationships should not be entangled with us."

"Now we should take advantage of him and kill the Xiongnu Chanyu!"

As he was about to lead his men to attack, Zhang Liang almost shouted loudly,

"General Lu, you should not only think about yourself, but also think about your brothers!"

"If you really want to kill this person, will His Highness really not care?"

"Or are you just that confident, General Lu, that you can definitely kill the opponent? And wasn't our main goal before setting off to kill the Hun nobles?"

This time, Lu Ye couldn't help but frown.

As long as he can serve His Highness the Crown Prince, he doesn't care too much about personal gains and losses, which is different from his brothers.

Seeing that both of them hesitated, Zhang Liangliang suddenly changed his mind and directly ordered,

"Come here, take my surrender letter to the Huns camp!"

With that said, his henchmen quickly headed towards the direction of the Xiongnu camp.

Seeing this scene, the two knew that the other party had been prepared.

At this point, Zhou Bo and Lu could only admit it, saying,

"Tell brothers, don't relax. Once the surrender fails, we will follow up and attack according to the original plan."

Even if they can't kill the Xiongnu Chanyu, they still want to weaken the opponent's strength.

At this time, in the Xiongnu camp, Li Zheng was looking at the simple map in front of him, his expression was not good-looking. It was not easy to pass through the Qin army's interception with minimal losses.

No one knows the Qin army's deployment.

At this moment, a Hun attendant hurried in and said with a bit of disbelief,

"Chanyu, an envoy from the Qin Army has come outside and wants to see you."

Li Li was stunned for a moment, how could there be an envoy from the Qin Army here?

Then he quickly said,

"Tell all the troops to prepare for war. The Qin army is around."

After giving the order, Licai said,

"Let the messenger come in."
