Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu led 50,000 new troops to defeat a thousand people, the Xiongnu army killed 5,000 Xiongnu, and captured Shuofang City in one fell swoop.

When the troops and people in the northern border of Great Chu heard the news, the morale of the army and the people were greatly boosted, and the border people were all cheering.

Since the former emperor Xiang Yanran failed in the northern expedition ten years ago, he has been resolutely halted for ten years after he returned, and the Great Chu did not dare to take the initiative to raise troops.

Even though the Huns often attacked the border, they even burned and killed the people near Chang'an, plundered the population and wealth in the border areas, and robbed a large amount of population and financial resources.

The Great Chu Dynasty also endured it again and again, without making any major moves.

Nothing.

It's just impossible to beat.

The Great Chu Dynasty has been doing one thing, which is to silently hoard cavalry and horses, and has been hoarding a huge number of 300,000 cavalry.

After Da Chu stationed 300,000 troops, the border cities were sufficiently strong, and nearly 100,000 cavalry were stationed in a heavy city. The Huns did not dare to cross Shuofang and Taiyuan and invaded Chang'an on a large scale. At most, they only attacked the outside of Shuofang.

This "great victory" in Shuofang City is undoubtedly the biggest victory in the battle against the Huns in the past 10 years.

The people in the border town were naturally ecstatic when they heard this and ran around to tell each other.

...

Taiwei Li Rong and the generals of Taiyuan City learned the more detailed military information and war reports, and they knew every detail, and they were also sighing.

They also thought that Xiaohunhou would win.

But unexpectedly, the winning was so straightforward.

In this battle in Shuofang City, 50,000 new troops fought against 50,000 Xiongnu light cavalry, and there was almost no suspense or obstacle.

To be accurate, it is to "cut the melon" with a steel knife.

Li Yu went straight in with ten thousand cavalry, and the remaining 20,000 infantry chariots and 20,000 gunpowder lances did not have time to take action.

With one knife, the melon juice splashed everywhere.

He had almost no casualties, and a group of 10,000 Xiongnu light cavalrymen collapsed without having time to do more.

Unfortunately, King Hunxie of the Huns, King Xu Tu, saw that the wind was too fast and fled too fast. When the situation was not good, he immediately ran away without hesitation. Otherwise, he would cut two more knives and a plate of watermelon slices and serve them on the table.

The loss of five Xiongnu 10,000 troops was enough for Junchen Shanyu to fall asleep in pain.

"The young man is so terrifying!"

The old general Song sighed with great emotion, "I have fought all my life and fought hard against the Huns for dozens of battles, but there was no cheaper result. I never thought that fighting the Huns was so easy!

In this battle, the General of the Cavalry had not even used all his strength. At most, he had to use 10% of his strength and won it simply and neatly!"

"It's not that the Huns are weak, it's that Xiao Hunhou is too strong! Xiao Hunhou is worthy of being a genius! Who can resist the new army in the world?"

Li Rong nodded slightly, his eyes shining with golden light.

If Xiao Hunhou was not his son-in-law, he would have been married to the Pingwang Mansion.

He is afraid... he can't help but want to kill.

If such a peerless general has a slight rebellion in his heart, he will sooner or later become the number one disaster for the Great Chu, and will become a generation of heroes who will replace the Xiang family and win the world.

Even though there are many people in the entire Great Chu who don’t like Xiao Hunhou, no one can resist his blade.

But Xiao Hunhou married into the Pingwang Mansion according to the imperial edict of the late emperor.

If King Ping has no son, Li Rong will naturally not have the intention to rebel... If Li Rong rebels, the throne will be passed to other families sooner or later, and he will be in vain.

The Little Hunhou Prince Heping Mansion is already one, with two gods of war in one mansion for the elderly and young.

No one dared to have the idea of ​​killing Xiaohunhou again.

"Let's go to Shuofang City!"

"Take all the 30,000 people from Shuofang City, bring 100,000 Chu cavalry, 100,000 Chu infantry, and then bring enough military rations for three months!"

"Sir, do you want to bring so many people?"

"Shuofang City must be built into a base for the Northern Expedition, which is indestructible. Even if the Huns attack in large numbers, they cannot be lost."

"Set off!"

The 200,000 Chu troops and tens of thousands of people in Taiyuan City brought a large number of military rations and went to Shuofang City with great enthusiasm.

...

Shuofang County.

"General, there is a censor who wants to see you."

The guards of the camp asked for a visit with a thin old official.

"Who are you?"

Chu Tianxiu looked familiar with this official, but he didn't remember it very much.

The official quickly bowed and smiled flatteringly: "Secretary, Xu Chou! He was appointed as the censor of Shuofang County. Originally, in the court, the late emperor sent the officials to Shuofang County, the northern border as the censor. Can the general remember?"

"oh!"

Chu Tianxiu finally remembered it.

Something is a bit of an impression.

Xu Chou was against him in the court and strongly opposed the "Salt and Iron Official Camp". He was sent to Shuofang County by the late emperor and went to drink the northwest wind.

It is estimated that in the past six months, the northwest wind should have been full and more well-behaved. There is no slightest arrogance and unruly attitude, only obedience.

"Mr. Xu is in Shuofang, okay?"

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

"The lower official received the favor of the holy people and served as the censor of Shuofang County for half a year. Before that, Shuofang City was lost, the lower official followed the Taiwei and went to Taiyuan City to avoid disaster.

Now that Shuofang County has been taken back, the lower-ranking official will come back to serve as the censor. Now, come and have a visit to the general!”

Xu Chou said hurriedly.

The local supervisor and censor is responsible for supervising all officials, inspecting county government affairs, correcting unjust verdicts in criminal prisons, purifying officialdom, etc.

The censor is responsible for supervision, and basically can make trouble for anything, specializing in probing the faults of officials. Once the fault is found, it will be reported to the imperial censorate and dismissed officials who violated the law and discipline.

This power can be big or small.

For ordinary officials and minor officials, the county supervisors and censors are simply holding the Shangfang sword, and their power is scary.

However, in front of Chu Tianxiu, the second-rank general of the cavalry and one of the five major ministers of the regent, the Censor of Shuofang County was too small, so of course it was not easy to use.

Even Wang Su, the immediate superior of the local censor and one of the three dukes, had to accept the disadvantage in front of Chu Tianxiu and dare not cause trouble.

Xu Chou was afraid that Chu Tianxiu would not know that he was the censor in Shuofang County. He was obsessed with him and accidentally let the "crack" of the soldiers in the city, but he was wronged.

Nowadays, the northern border of Great Chu is so powerful that in addition to the Grand Marshal Li Rong, he is the General of the Cavalry.

"Okay, you'll just take office. Shuofang County has just been brought back, and everything is in trouble. It needs to be renovated. The city is repaired, farmland, and production resumes. All of these must be done immediately.

Local officials are prone to corruption and fraud, and they must be supervised! You, the supervisor of Shuofang County, should urge them to work diligently.

By the way, I have reported to the court, and Zhu Mianchen, a new Jinshi, became the prefect of Shuofang County, with the focus on immigration, farming, growing grain, and reducing the burden on the court to transport grain. You can partner with him in the future to manage Shuofang County.

If you make contributions to farming, you can return to Jinling City to be promoted and enjoy happiness after four or five years."

Chu Tianxiu said casually.

"Yes! General Xie, the senior official will do his best! Assist Lord Zhu, manage military farms and produce more grain."

Xu Chou was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to leave.
