At dusk, Xu Xiangru took his men to find Zhang Yue and reported: "Shizhong Gong, the scout sent by the early stage, has completed the task and returned..."

Behind him...

More than a dozen knights wearing Han army armor, but thick hair and white skin, with deep nose and high nose, looked forward with long body, bowed their heads and bowed.

It was the captured Huji people. If anyone familiar with Huji here, he would definitely recognize them - they were all nobles!

This is normal, too.

What qualifications are there for ordinary people to be the leader party?

People who are not in power or resources will not want to be someone else even if they want to be.

Just like Wei Lu, he fled to the Huns and immediately became King Dingling and became a real powerful noble.

There is also Li Ling, who surrendered nod, and was King Jiankun and the son-in-law of Shanyu.

And what about the others?

For example, the surrendered Han army general Li Xu who was killed by Li Ling.

It’s just an ant. Li Ling killed it with one sword, and the Xiongnu Khan still had to say that he was good at killing it!

And other surrendered soldiers with lower status than Li Xu are afraid they will even have to fight for the qualifications to be slaves!

This is the truth of this world!

Of course, no one is qualified to be a leader and get the opportunity to surrender.

Just like these people, if Wei Lu had not existed, Zhang Yue would have cut all one by one.

It is precisely because of Wei Lu that Zhang Yue needs to carry out strategic deception.

So, they got an opportunity to show their loyalty to the Han family.

Therefore, to be a leader, in addition to being in a high position and holding resources and power, one must also be useful to others.

If it is just a waste of rice insects, who would want it?

The country has a lot of money, can it be fun?

It would be better to keep a few pet dogs, at least pet dogs can act cute and coquettish.

Obviously, these surrendered Hujie nobles were of some use.

And they are all very cooperative and obedient.

This is not surprising.

Nomads have a very high degree of obedience to the victor after defeat.

Even comparable to Neon people.

Especially the nobles, they are particularly self-disciplined and tactful.

The same is true for these Hujie nobles. After being defeated and captured, they quickly obeyed the Han army's whip and torture instruments.

On the contrary, many of the cavalry at the bottom were still unruly and very hard-skinned even if they were captured.

"Tell me, who have you met?" Zhang Yue asked at them.

Xu Xiangru repeated Zhang Yue's words to them in the Huns' words, and then the people immediately rushed to report.

They poured out all their "meritorship".

Zhang Yue listened and couldn't help but nod.

He was right in guessing that Wei Lu did send a large number of scouts and envoys to cross the Gonglu River and approach southward.

Fortunately, I met these leaders whom he prepared and arranged in advance.

Han soldiers and herdsmen from the river were also sent to wear Huji's clothes and ride Huji's war horses, drive away livestock and move north of the Yanze.

When they met the Hun scouts and envoys who were approaching, they asked these nobles to come forward to talk.

The content is of course carefully fabricated.

It was a joke written by Zhang Yue and Deng Shuang and others after arriving at the Yingze, based on the confessions of the Hujie nobles and combined with reality.

Now, it depends on whether Wei Lu will be fooled?

However, even if Wei Lu was not deceived, Zhang Yue had obtained enough information.

Because, in addition to spreading the news that Zhang Yue asked them to convey, these surrenders also inquire about a lot of valuable information.

Especially the news that the Wei Lu reinforcements had arrived immediately attracted Zhang Yue's attention!

After arranging these people to rest, Zhang Yue immediately convened the officers Huwu Hengdu and the officers above the Changshui Captain to discuss.

"Just just got the information, the Huns Guyan King Xuyan, the queen of the Huns, was personally in charge of the Guyan Wanqi, and had arrived at the Gonglu River upstream to return to the Weilu Department!" Zhang Yue put a new piece on the already arranged sand table: "This Guyan King is the younger brother of Hulugu, the second only to his son Zuoguli King Huyan, and his other brother, Zong Zong, who was the King of Youguli King Xulu Quanqu, and is the absolute core figure of Jizhou!"

As the minister, Zhang Yue's ranking of power in the Xiongnu, especially the royal family, can be said to be well-known.

The Huns royal family, because the Han Dynasty was called Jizhu because of the old Shangshen Chanyu.

This is because during the reign of the old Shang Shanyu, the Huns put the greatest pressure on the Han Dynasty and the strongest challenge.

But in fact, the surname of the Xiongnu Shanyu was the Twin Clan.

The Huns pronounced as the plow and the solitary tupa.

It means the son of heaven and earth, the monarch who is established by the sun and the moon, and has a broad mind.

The Twin Clan is not only the Hun royal family, but also the most powerful tribe in the Hun Empire!

The cavalry of the other four major clans only surpassed the cavalry directly under the Twin Clan.

Not to mention that the Twins itself has a large number of other parts (branches).

Therefore, the power of the Huns was actually controlled by the Twins.

However, even at the peak of the Hun Empire, the power of the Twin Clan never unifiedly gathered under the control of a certain strong man.

Even Maodun and the old master have never completely intimidated all the real power factions of his tribe.

For example, Lao Shangji Zhu Shanyu spent his whole life, and he had no choice but to use his younger brother Youxian King.

Junchen Shanyu had no choice but to his cousin, King Yin Zhixie of Zuo Guli. In the end, even after his death, his son was expelled by Yin Zhixie.

Yin Zhixie Shanyu was relatively centralized because his opposition was killed by Wei Qinghuo Qubing...

Including those Yu Shan supporters who gave him a headache.

Today, the power structure system of the Hun Empire is still full of intrigue and struggles with open and hidden swords.

Without saying anything else, it can be proved by taking Su Wu's detention - why was Su Wu detained? Because his deputy envoy Zhang Sheng contacted two opponents of the Han Dynasty, who plotted to react in a coup, seized the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, and then negotiated peace with the Han Dynasty.

As a result, the matter was exposed and all the rebels were killed.

Although Su Wu was unaware of the situation, he was still implicated.

If Wei Lu hadn't recommended and pleaded with each other strongly, it would have been a one-killing matter.

This is also why the Han family has always thought that Su Wu was dead over the years - can the murder of Shanyu survive?

At this time today, the power structure of the Hun Empire has actually been clearly defined.

As a ruling group, the Twins are divided into two parts.

Shanyu Hulugu is one faction, while Rizhu Wang Xianxian is another faction.

Although Hu Lu Gu has the advantage, the strength of the wise men is not to be underestimated.

At least 50,000 cavalry, plus the Western Regions power he controlled, it is still possible to pull out 100,000 troops.

Therefore, the two formed a confrontation in the Tianshan area.

The Guyan King Xu Yanfeng who is here now is strictly speaking, the fourth largest figure in the Xiongnu country, and the third heir to Huyanfeng and Xulu Quanqu.

Judging from the situation Zhang Yue’s mastery, this Guyan King was even a reformist faction who was even more radical than his brother Hu Lu Gu Shanyu.

He and another member of the royal family, King Yuzu Tushe, were called the two masters of the Huns of the Han Dynasty.

It is different from Tu She, who is addicted to music, poetry, and loves to recite poems and essays, and is everywhere in Han literati and officials. It is even said that once pretended to be Jia Yi, Sima Xiangru and Yan Zhu, Tu She is different from Tu She.

This Guyan King likes military tactics.

The worship of Qin Xiaogong, Han Zhaohou, Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou.

It is said that he once ordered people to put a pure gold horse skeleton in his dome.

He wanted to imitate King Zhao of Yan to recruit heroic literati and attract Le Yi's intention.

He briefly explained the background of this Guyan King and his status in the Huns to the generals.

Everyone was immediately energetic!

This is a big boss!

Since the Han and the Huns fought, the highest-ranking nobles of the Huns who were killed and captured were just the uncles of the Shanyu and the uncles.

The core figure of the Twin Clan has never been recorded as being killed/captured (Yu Dan who escaped does not count).

If this person can be captured or killed, then...
