At noon the next day after the night attack, Liu Ji, with the four elite cavalrymen of the Tiger Ben Army, the Black Armored Soldiers, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the White Horse Congyi, safely retreated to the grassland more than 200 miles away from the Wuheng Royal Court.

While the soldiers of the four elite cavalry units were having lunch, Liu Ji, who was sitting on the ground, sighed and said to Lu Bu, the commander of the Tiger Ben Army, Wang Ben, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, Yang Zaixing, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and Gao Chong, the commander of the White Horse Congyi,: "Although the sneak attack last night was a big victory, the losses of your four cavalry units were too great. The overnight battle caused 20,000 elite cavalry, which was a bit expensive!"

Lu Bulang, the commander of the Hu Ben Army, said: "Lord, attack the camps of millions of Hu cavalry, casualties are inevitable. In my opinion, we will return to the Wuheng royal court tonight and launch a second night attack on the Hu coalition, and take the opportunity to expand the results!"

As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, Wang Ben, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, shook his head and said, "In the battle last night, the Hu people's coalition suffered a great loss. As the saying goes, one's mistake will lead to wisdom. There are many smart commanders of the Hu people of all races. Tonight, the various camps of the Hu people's coalition will be on high alert. Even if we successfully attacked again tonight, the results of the battle will definitely not be as good as the night attack last night."

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Even if the battle results are smaller, can it still consume part of the strength of the Hu people's coalition? Now the forces of our Polu Army gathered in the Beiting Protectorate's Mansion are much less than those of the Hu people's coalition. If we can weaken the strength of the Hu people's coalition, it's better to weaken the strength of the Hu people's coalition."

Yang Zaixing, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, said loudly: "Lord, I think I can return to the Wuheng Royal Court and attack the Hu coalition again. Last night's night attack, although our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry lost nearly 6,000 people, our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is still in strength, and there are more than 18,000 people. If we launch a night attack on the Wuheng Royal Court tonight, our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is willing to take the lead!"

Liu Ji shook his head and said, "You four cavalry are all elite among the elites. Last night's night attack, I lost more than 20,000 people. I feel distressed enough. There is no need to study the night attack on Wuheng Royal Court again. I have to let you four cavalry retain your vitality. This time, we have to rely on your four cavalry units to play a more important role in dealing with the Hu people in the grassland this time."

At this time, Xue Rengui, who was also sitting next to Liu Ji, spoke, "Lord, we can actually learn from the strategy of fighting with the Hu people's coalition forces last time, and take advantage of the opportunity of all races gathering troops to invade the Beiting Protectorate, and send cavalry troops deep into the grassland to attack some tribes of various races, and even royal courts of various races!"

Two years ago, the Khitan, Wuheng, Loufan, Rouran, Donghu, Dangxiang, Shatuo, Dingling, Baiyin and Limo on the grassland formed a coalition army to take the opportunity to capture Dai'an County. In the end, this Hu coalition was blocked by the Polu Army at Qishankou in the Anxing Mountains by the Polu Army.

Just when the Polu Army and the Hu coalition of ten tribes fought at Qishankou, the five cavalry brigades of the Power Army's grassland army went deep into the grassland and launched a raid on the royal court of the Dangxiang tribe. As a result, the royal court of the Dangxiang tribe was caught off guard. In just one night, the Dangxiang king court, which had 100,000 cavalry and nearly 700,000 herders and slaves, fell into the hands of the five cavalry brigades of the Power Army.

After hearing Xue Rengui's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Yes! We can send troops deep into the grassland and attack the royal courts of all races. Lord, why not give this task to our Hu Ben Army?"

Liu Ji thought about it and said, "Sending troops deep into the grassland is a good move, but we did not bring too much supplies this time. Let's go back to Qudengcheng first!"

Liu Ji led the four elite cavalrymen of the Tiger Ben Army, the Black Armored Soldiers, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the White Horse Congyi. The return speed was very fast. In less than two days, he returned to Qudeng City, the prefecture of the Beiting Protectorate, Qizhou. At this time, the fifteen cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion had also arrived at Qudeng City.

On the third day after Liu Ji returned to Qudeng City, two cavalry troops from the Blade Army quietly left Qudeng City. One cavalry unit was composed of five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion, and the other cavalry unit was composed of five cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion. The commanders who led the two cavalry units were Xue Rengui and Di Qing.

The task of these two cavalry units is to go deep into the grassland and launch attacks on some grassland tribes and even royal courts.

Liu Ji also consumed 360,000 soul points from the system mall, and each equipped Xue Rengui and Di Qing with 1,200 Han Dynasty Tiger Ben Army. As the guards of the two, Liu Ji also drew eight puppet bodyguards with peerless military generals and sixteen puppet bodyguards with the strength of top military generals from his side, and temporarily dispatched them to Xue Rengui and Di Qing.

This time, Liu Ji brought a total of fifty puppet bodyguards with him, including 18 puppet bodyguards with peerless generals and 32 puppet bodyguards with top generals.

After Xue Rengui left the territory of Qizhou, he summoned Shi Wansui, Guan Ying, Ying Bu, Long Qi and Zhang Xiu from the five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion and said in a deep voice: "Dear generals, this time the lord has high hopes for our two cavalry units that have penetrated the grassland. Everyone knows that almost half of the nomadic peoples of all sizes on the grassland have joined forces this time, and gathered a large army in the royal court of the Wuheng clan to invade the Beiting Protectorate. The enemy we faced this time may reach nine million, or even tens of millions. Only the more fierce our two cavalry units fight, can we reduce the pressure on the lord."

Shi Wansui, the brigade guard of the First Cavalry Brigade of the Western Regions, said loudly: "General Xue, since the lord sent you to lead our five cavalry brigades this time, you can give orders! We will fight wherever you point!"

Guan Ying, Ying Bu, Long Qi and Zhang Xiu also nodded. The five cavalry brigades sent by Liu Ji to Xue Rengui were all the top five cavalry brigades in the Western Regions. The combat effectiveness was much stronger than other cavalry brigades in the Western Regions.

When Xue Rengui saw the attitudes of the five brigade lieutenants, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, he was given an important task by Liu Ji when he was just a first-timer. If these arrogant soldiers and generals of the Western Regions Legion were dissatisfied with him, the commander-in-chief, it would probably affect the combat plan of going deep into the grassland.

Xue Rengui immediately said: "This time I went deep into the grassland, and the lord gave us the right to act cheaply. I felt that attacking some small tribes would not have much influence on the Hu people gathered in the Wuheng royal court, so I was going to go straight to the Shatu tribe's royal court. According to the information from Heishuitai, the Shatu tribe gathered 100,000 cavalry to the Wuheng royal court this time, almost all the cavalry of the Shatu tribe. Now, the entire Shatu tribe may not even be able to get out 10,000 cavalry."

Guan Ying shouted: "General Xue, what else can I hesitate? Let's march towards the Shatuo royal court as soon as possible!"

Xue Rengui nodded and said, "That's the decision. We will go directly to the Shatuo royal court and try to avoid the tribes of the grassland tribes as much as possible on the way. If it is really not easy to avoid, destroy the entire tribe and do not leave a living mouth!"

On the morning of May 27, five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion of the Polu Army suddenly appeared near the royal court of the Shatu tribe. Then the five cavalry brigades were commanding Xue Rengui and attacked the royal court of the Shatu tribe.

In order to gather 100,000 Shatu cavalry to join the entire grassland coalition, Xie Zhiyi almost transferred all the young and strong tribes of the Shatu tribes, and even the Shatu royal court was no exception. After all, this time, the three most powerful ethnic groups in the grassland, the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan, have jointly issued a provision to all the grassland tribes. During the war between the grassland coalition to attack the Polu Army, disputes between all tribes on the grassland must be temporarily shelved, and all forces on the grassland must be unanimous to the outside world.

The great khan of Shatu tribe Xie Zhiyi didn’t need to worry about the army of other tribes. He would take advantage of the emptiness of the Shatu tribe to take advantage of the situation. Unfortunately, the great khan of Shatu tribe Xie Zhiyi also missed the great enemy of the various tribes in the grassland.

The five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion of the Polu Army captured the Shatu royal court with a population of more than 300,000 without much effort.

On the second day after the five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion captured the Shatuo tribe's royal court, Di Qing led the five cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion to capture the Dingling tribe who was attached to the Xianbei tribe.

On the afternoon of May 30, in a giant felt bag in the Wuheng royal court, the Xiongnu Khan Luantimao, the Xianbei Khan Murongke, the Khan Yelu Dilie, the Xirong Khan Arishan, the Wuheng Khan Shurha, the Rouran Khan Mugulu, the Donghu Khan Ishag, the Tiel Khan Jirimu and the Wuwan Khan Zhaonastu, the nine Khans who are the strongest on the grassland, got together again.

There are also twenty-one Khan from other nomadic peoples, who are also in this giant felt bag. The nomadic peoples where the twenty-one Khans are located are ranked according to their strength on the grassland, and they all belong to the third echelon. As for the Khans of the small tribes who are in the fourth echelon, they are not qualified to attend this gathering of Khans of the various tribes on the grassland.

This time, the small and medium-sized tribes that depended on the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Khitan, Xirong, Wuheng, Rouran, Donghu, Tiel and Wuwan came to participate in the third and fourth echelons of the Grassland Alliance, and there were 148 in total, of which 127 in the fourth echelons.

On the vast grassland, in addition to the nine tribes including the Huns and the 148 small and medium-sized tribes that depend on them, there are at least more than one hundred small and medium-sized nomadic peoples, and they are not attached to the nine tribes including the Huns. However, the coalition forces formed by various tribes on the grassland this time are already quite amazing.

Luanti, the Hun tribe's great khan, said with a smile: "This time, I brought 1.5 million Hun cavalry. The Yiqu tribe, Xubu tribe, Liyu tribe, Suli tribe and Hulu tribe, which are affiliated to our Hun tribe, have also sent 700,000 cavalry together. In addition, the 38 small tribes that rely on our Hun tribe, have also sent 500,000 cavalry together. By this calculation, I brought 2.7 million cavalry units this time!"

The Great Khan of the Western Rong tribe, Arishan, followed and said: "This time, our Xirong tribe sent more troops. The Xirong Iron Cavalry brought to the Wuheng royal court was 700,000. The Yuemo tribes and Liji tribes affiliated to our Xirong tribe sent 100,000 cavalry each. In addition, the 23 small tribes that depended on our Xirong tribe, sent 300,000 cavalry together. Our Xirong tribe sent 1.2 million troops!"

At this time, the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke sighed and said, "Originally, the troops of our seven tribes and their affiliated ethnic groups gathered in the Wuheng Royal Court have reached 6.6 million. Unfortunately, they were attacked by the Polu Army once, losing about 750,000 people. Otherwise, with the troops brought to the Wuheng Royal Court by the Xiongnu and Xirong tribes this time, the total force of the grassland coalition we formed this time would exceed 10 million!"

Luan Timao, the great khan of the Huns, smiled again and said, "It doesn't matter if the Khan Murong Ke lost 750,000 people. The total strength of our coalition is still close to 10 million! With such a huge force, it would be not too difficult to defeat the Polu Army!"

Shurha, the great khan of the Wuheng clan, suddenly said bitterly: "Dear khans, there is a bad news. Perhaps someone else doesn't know that the Shatuo royal court affiliated to our Wuheng clan was captured by the Polu army on the 27th, and on the 28th, the Dingling royal court affiliated to the Xianbei clan also fell into the hands of the Polu army."

The words of the Great Khan of the Wuheng clan Shurha made the Shatu clan's Khan Xiezhiyi and the Great Khan of the Dingling clan's Khan Chaganlar both turned very gloomy.

The Xianbei Khan Murong Ke nodded and said, "This news has been confirmed. After the Polu Army sneaked into the Wuheng Royal Court, it sent two cavalry into the prairie and carried out a tragic massacre of the tribes of all races he encountered. The situation of the Shatuo Royal Court and the Dingling Royal Court will not be much better."

The Khan of the Dingling clan, Chaganlar, shouted sadly: "Murong Ke, you must avenge our Dingling clan!"

The Xianbei Khan Murong Ke immediately comforted the Dingling Khan Chaganlar and said: "Don't worry, Chaganlar Khan, our coalition forces of all ethnic groups in the grassland will never sit idly by and watch the two cavalry units of the Polu Army, stirring up the wind and rain in the entire grassland!"

Then the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke said to the others: "Dear Khan, we cannot let the tragedy of the Shatuo royal court and the Dingling royal court happen again. This Khan suggested that a portion of the coalition forces be drawn to clear out these two cavalry units that defeated the enemy army!"

Luan Timao, the great khan of the Xiongnu clan, nodded immediately and said, "It is true that the two cavalry units of the Polu Army cannot be allowed to run around the grasslands, otherwise some clan might suffer. I agree with the advice of Murong Ke Khan!"

The Khitan Khan Yelu Dilie also agreed and said: "I have no objection. The two cavalry units of the Polu Army are not large, so it should not be difficult to clear them."
Chapter completed!
