Chapter 853 How Old Are You?

"King Zuoxian, don't forget how the Xianbei dog was buried alive by Liu Zhang!"

"Because there was no food, Liu Zhang was all sent down under the unbearable hunger!"

"I don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Xianbei people..."

No matter what Liu Bao said, Hu Chuquan couldn't agree to his request.

Hu Chuquan doesn't understand other things, he still understands that there is no food and no war.

"Shan Yu, we are different from the Xianbei people! Their way back has been cut off, and there is no way back!"

"What's more, Ke Bineng and Fu Luohan are two idiots, and they won't kill horses to get meat at any time!"

Liu Bao's eyes are extremely firm, revealing his confidence all the time.

"Shan Yu, if you don't want to go, then I'll take my men and chase after me alone!"

Hu Chuquan frowned, he didn't expect Liu Bao to be so persistent.

Liu Bao knew Hu Chuquan very well, and he never traded at a loss.

If he hadn't discovered a huge opportunity, how could he take the risk again?

If Liu Bao was allowed to go alone, it would be better to say that he failed, and at most he would lose some soldiers and horses.

But once Liu Bao succeeds, where will Hu Chuquan's face go?

The entire Xiongnu will laugh at Shan Yu's incompetence, not as brave and courageous as King Zuo Xian!

At that time, Hu Chuquan will still abdicate and let Xian forget it!

What's more, Hu Chuquan's Shan Yu's position was still Liu Bao's father, and Hu Chuquan's elder brother gave up.

Hu Chuquan also has a special love for Liu Bao.

"King Zuo Xian insists on going?"

Liu Bao nodded heavily, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Shan Yu, this is a golden opportunity!"

"Now everyone in the world is afraid of Liu Zhang. If we can defeat Liu Zhang's spirit, the status of the Xiongnu will rise in a straight line!"

"Besides, if there are no people in Hedong County, what's the use of us coming? For the future of our Huns, this battle cannot be avoided no matter what!"

Hu Chuquan trembled slightly, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

The opportunity to defeat Liu Zhang did not have a great attraction for Hu Chuquan.

But Liu Bao's words about the future of the Huns directly awakened Hu Chuquan's inner ambition.

Just like Ke Bineng, Fu Luohan, and Bu Dugen want to be the second of Tan Shihuai.

Every generation of Xiongnu Shanyu always wanted to become the second Maodun Shanyu of the Xiongnu.

"King Zuo Xian, you know the situation of our Xiongnu. Although these sons are not all of their strength, if they lose, our Xiongnu may be devastated!"

The Xiongnu were nomads through and through. They had no soldiers in peacetime, and all of them herded sheep and horses.

But when it comes to war, all herdsmen can become warriors in a moment.

Therefore, if the Huns died or injured soldiers, it would be a serious injury to the foundation!

"Don't worry, Shan Yu, I will definitely not lead the Xiongnu into the abyss!"

Liu Bao immediately assured Hu Chuquan of righteousness and words, and at the same time his inner ambition intensified again.

Threats and opportunities often coexist, the higher the risk, the higher the accompanying benefits!

Defeat the Yizhou army and take back the people of Hedong. From then on, the Xiongnu will become stronger and stronger!

"Alright! Ben Shanyu has entrusted the future of the Xiongnu to you!"

Hu Chuquan nodded, and finally chose to believe.

In fact, Hu Chuquan can also feel in his heart that it is definitely not him who can bring the Xiongnu to a higher level.

As for whether it is Liu Bao, we can only pray to heaven.

"Thank you Shan Yu!"

In the end, he still agreed, Liu Bao let out a sigh of relief, but also showed a heartfelt smile.

With the support of Shanyu Huchuquan, the Xiongnu army was quickly rectified and morale was re-gathered.

Liu Bao led the tribe directly under King Zuoxian to serve as the vanguard, and Shanyu Huchuquan and King Youxian Qubei led the rest of the tribe to follow closely behind.

The 90,000 Huns marched south again, this time at a faster speed and with a clearer purpose.

Pursue, wipe out the Yizhou army, and take back the people of Hedong County.

At the same time, Jing Zhaoyin suddenly visited a special person in Chang'an City.

"What? Who are you asking to see?"

Liu Zhang suddenly exclaimed and jumped up from the bed.

Liu Zhang, who was taking a lunch break, lost all sleep immediately after hearing these two words.

"My lord, the person who came calls himself Lingling Shu Zuo, Jiang Wan."

Jiang Wan, one of the Four Prime Ministers of Shu Han in history!

Liu Zhang would not naively think that there is only one person named Jiang Wan in the entire Han Dynasty.

But the scope is narrowed down to Lingling County, there should be only one person with this name who has the courage to come to see him!

"What's the matter with Jiang Wan?"

"My lord, Jiang Wan claims to represent Liu Qi, the prefect of Changsha, to come here and ask to see my lord."

Liu Zhang rubbed his chin lightly, thinking about Jiang Wan's reason for coming.

Although I knew that Liu Bei would take the lead, Liu Qi should have the final say in Jingnan at this time.

It's just that Zhuge Liang is fooling Liu Qi in Changsha, so Liu Qi probably has no idea.

So this time Jiang Wan came here either on behalf of Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang!

But is Liu Bei no one available? He even sent a kid here!

"Invite Jiang Wan to Weiyang Palace."

"Obey!"

After the soldiers left, Liu Zhang quickly arranged his clothes and arrived at Weiyang Palace ahead of schedule.

Although Liu Bei sent Jiang Wan as an envoy, who was not as weak as the crown, Liu Zhang was very angry, but out of the importance he attached to Jiang Wan, Liu Zhang decided to receive him in the most solemn place.

Not long after, Jiang Wan, led by soldiers, came to Liu Zhang.

Jiang Wan kept his head down, showing a very humble expression.

"Lingling Shuzuo Jiang Wan, pay homage to Duke Qin!"

Liu Zhang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the news of his being named Duke of Qin would spread to Jingnan.

"Well, get up."

With Liu Zhang's permission, Jiang Wan slowly got up and looked up at Liu Zhang at the same time.

Because of this, Liu Zhang looked at Jiang Wan's face, and then his eyes widened.

This Jiang Wan's age is completely different from Liu Zhang's imagination!

"You... How old are you this year?"

Perhaps Liu Zhang's question was quite impolite, but Liu Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and blurted it out.

Sure enough, after hearing Liu Zhang's question, Jiang Wan was slightly taken aback.

In front of Jiang Wan, no matter in appearance or temperament, there is no trace of immaturity.

Standing in front of Liu Zhang, Jiang Wan did not have any cowardice, and the whole person showed a dignified demeanor and an extraordinary bearing.

If Liu Zhang remembers correctly, Zhuge Liang is just 20 years old this year.

In his impression, Jiang Wan, as Zhuge Liang's successor, must be younger than Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang is twenty years old this year, so Jiang Wan must be in his teens.

This is why Liu Zhang laughed at Liu Bei as no one available.

Who would have thought that the Jiang Wan in front of him not only did not look like a teenager at all, but rather... looked like a thirty-year-old!

If it weren't for his extraordinary temperament, no one would doubt that Jiang Wan in front of him has already passed his thirties!

"Qin Gong, my age...is there any problem?"
