Chapter 3 Chu Feng Mighty Section 27 Shan Yu Returns to Heaven

"Running. Changshi! The sound of throwing down his armour jumped. ※

"Run." The scout was sweating profusely. He was almost dead after running back from twenty miles away. But if such important information was not finished, he could not die. "The Huns threw down all their property and didn't even take the tent. We didn't realize until dawn that their camp was quiet and a little too much. We sent people to check it out. Only then did they find that they had run away, and the war horses and weapons were taken away, and all the things they stolen from Huishi City were there. There were also a lot of food, cattle and sheep, and seriously injured soldiers.

"Wow    . Lu Shizhi raised his lips and whistled, put his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows with the other hand, turned around and gave an order to the chief: "Order the personal guards to gather immediately, I want to chase after him in person."

"Sir, let me go.

The chief minister stopped Lu Shizhi and said worriedly: "Since the Huns were light and simple, their level could be greatly improved. Judging from the battle situation yesterday, they still had at least 50,000 troops available, and there were only 10,000 personal guards. The difference in strength was too great. What if the Huns were a trick to lure the enemy?"

"A plan to lure the enemy?" Lu Shizhi was also a little hesitant. If the Huns took retreat as an advance and intercepted his ten thousand guards halfway, it might be a disaster, but if the Huns just let the Huns run away, it would be too cheap. "You might as well set up a camp that hurriedly brought people to take over the Huns, especially the food and grass should be collected, and just wait here to meet with Zuzhuguo and then follow his command. I will take away all the remaining dry food, and the Huns will beat my ambush. Hehe, it is not that easy.

Seeing that Lu Shizhi was determined, the chief clerk stopped persuading him. Lixia passed the order. Soon, the guard cavalry gathered and rushed out of the camp under the leadership of Lu Shizhi. The guard cavalry did not participate in the battle yesterday, and was full of energy and fighting spirit. He followed the traces left by the Huns. The remaining infantry rushed into the Huns' camp honestly and unceremoniously, and took over all the things left by the Huns. Seeing the mountains of wealth stolen by the Huns from Huishi City, the chief clerk almost grinned to his ears.

No one expected that the Huns worked hard for half a year and finally got all the money.

Kunmo, who arrived later, was almost spitting out fire in his eyes, but it was unimaginable that these were obtained by the Chu people from the hands of the Huns and had nothing to do with him. He was even jealous and could only be jealous.

"General Zuo, don't worry. When the war is over, you will get rewards." Huan Fu stopped Kun Mo and said seriously: "There are only 10,000 cavalry in the Northern Pillar Kingdom, and the Huns still have nearly 60,000 cavalry. The military strength is too disparity, and there may be danger in one day's fight. If you can rush with General Fu, your troops will surpass the Huns. If you can wipe out the Huns and make great contributions at that time, what is this reward?"

Kunmo nodded with gritted teeth, and then went on the road with Fu Kuan to pursue the Huns. They had more than 50,000 cavalry, plus Lu Shizhi's 10,000 personal guards, and the total strength of the total troops was already equal to that of the Huns. Therefore, Huanfu decided that the infantry would no longer participate in the pursuit. After cleaning up the battlefield, he would rest and stand by in Huyang Jushan.

Maodun, who was nearby, soon learned about the retreat of the Huns. He sighed to the sky, and was inexplicably sad and angry. Although Touman adopted his idea and moved forward in time and lightly, he got rid of the danger of being intercepted by Huan's body, he still did something wrong. He should go west to Danji Mountain instead of east. The easter he went to the border of the Chu people, the more dangerous he would increase exponentially.

Fufu and others occupied Huyang Ju Mountain. There were 70,000 to 80,000 people. Although Maodun was jealous of the wealth and heavy weight, he did not dare to ellipse his edge. He led his people around and rushed east from the north of Huyang Ju Mountain. The more he walked east, the more careful he was. He sent the scouts a hundred miles away, for fear of being ambushed by the Chu people and being wiped out. These more than 3,000 people were his last capital and he could not afford to lose.

On the side of Pu Nu Water, Tou Man was lying on the leather mattress. His face was pale, and the winter sun shone on his wrinkled face, but he was not angry at all. Last night, he summoned the kings to discuss matters and explained the situation in person. The kings also realized the crisis of the situation. If they were reluctant to leave these things, they might all die in Huyang Jushan. Once Huanfu arrived, they would have no chance to retreat. Everyone could understand the truth. But if they really wanted to give up the wealth they had paid a huge price, they would throw away the excess food and grass, lift the weight, and sneak lightly. Without these things, they would return to the grassland, how would they survive this winter? When the heavy snowstorm, many of them would die from the cold and their vitality was severely damaged. Without Chu people, they would not be able to recover for a few years. Compared with now, although some people can survive, the situation is not much better.

Just as everyone was hesitating, the scout sent the news that the ancestral organ had chased him fifty miles away. At most, you could reach Huyangju Mountain tomorrow morning, and the cavalry might be faster and you could arrive in the morning. As soon as you heard this news, the Huns' scalp exploded. They dared not hesitate anymore. Execute Touman's order, throw away everything that could be thrown away, and set off immediately.

They ran in the dark all night, relying on the familiar terrain, and finally they were not lost. At dawn, they rested by Punu Water, drank some water, ate some food, let the horse eat some grass, and replenish their physical strength in case of continuing to escape. Although Touman was weak and had a high fever, his mind was very clear. He knew that even if he returned to the royal court, it would not be safe. After Xiang Yu defeated King Guxi, he would likely attack Wang Ting directly. Wang Ting's 20,000 personal guards did not know whether they could stop Xiang Yu and save Wang Ting, and wait until he rushed back.

The world in front of Touman became very hazy. He had an ominous premonition that he might never see the royal court again.

"The King of the Right Pulei of Shanyu picked up Touman and called out softly. Touman opened his eyes hard, and the noses in front of him were everywhere, but he couldn't see who it was. Those people didn't speak, and they looked at him silently.

"The King of Shanyu?. The Right Pulei put it in Touman's ear and shouted again.

"Well, Touman heard the voice of the King of Youpu and nodded vigorously.

"The Shanyu was injured and unable to command. We discuss it. We hope that the Shanyu will designate a person to command the army instead of the Shanyu, so as not to miss the military opportunity." The King of Youpu Le raised his voice and said word by word.

Touman heard it clearly, and he tried his best to open his eyes. He debated carefully. The figure in front of him, the stout figure should be Pulei King. His strength is now relatively strong. He has a good relationship with Youpulei King. His ranch is in the west. People with ranchs such as Rizhu King, Wenyu Chu King, and Su Khan should support him. But then, the thinner one should be Zuo Xianwang Langzeng. His ranch is in the east. Guxi King and Zuoli Danwang have a good relationship with him. Guxi King Fan Fan died. The strength of the Left Dian Khan was not enough. He was afraid that he would be willing to ascend the position of Shanyu when he was now watching Zang Zang but lacked strength. His advantage was the only name Zuo Xianwang. According to the rules of the Huns, if there was no designated heir, Zuo Xianwang would be the legitimate first heir of Shanyu.

The relationship between Zuo Xian and him is also the best. If Zuo Xian King succeeded to the throne, at least his Yan family and young son Huzheng would not suffer. Although he had thought of letting Huzheng succeed to the throne, the times changed, so why? The wish could be considered when he was strong, but now it has become a delusion. If he designated Huzheng as Shanyu, then these people would turn against each other and disperse, and Huzheng's life would come to an end.

Unfortunately, Maodun was not here. If Maodun now had the 20,000 personal guards of the royal court, he would have been able to smoothly settle these people. Touman sighed with regret, raised his hand, and pointed at the tall and thin figure tremblingly.

"Left" left" Touman rumbling in his throat, but he couldn't spit out a complete word.

The face of the Lord Youpu Leaf changed immediately. Although Touman's voice was vague, he could hear the meaning. How could King Zuo Mao be a Shanyu? He did not have the strength to rule the entire grassland at all. Now the Chu army is approaching, and only the strongest people can bring everyone together to overcome difficulties. Touman disregards the overall situation and only thinks about his selfishness. It will bring irreparable disasters to the Huns. He gritted his teeth and held Touman's neck slowly pinched his hand. Touman felt danger. He turned his head with difficulty and opened his eyes wide. He looked at the Lord Youpu Leaf in horror. The Lord Youpu Leaf has always been a person who respects him, except that he did not follow his intentions yesterday and went out to detain Maodun. He had never disobeyed his orders, and was resourceful. How could he attack himself?

Touman wanted to shout loudly, and wanted to raise his hand to spread the tighter and tighter hand of the Right Pule King, but he couldn't do it. The severe pain between his chest and back had exhausted his vitality.

"You...you

"Xianyu! Xianyu!" The King of Right Puli put his ear against Touman's mouth and shouted loudly. It made people seem that the Shanyu had become weak and could not speak. Only by getting very close can he hear what he was saying.

Zuo Xianwang frowned, feeling something was wrong. He took a step forward and was helping Touman from that side. The sound of horse hooves from the distance attracted his attention. He looked up and saw a war horse galloping towards him. The war horse was running with all his might, but the knights on the horse were still whipping the war horse desperately, as if they were trying to squeeze out the last potential of the war horse.

"No, the Chu army is approaching." Zuo Xianwang didn't care about caring about Touman, so he stood up suddenly and rushed forward.

The war horse ran to the front; the knight flew off the war horse, ran a few steps, and fell to the front of Zuo Xianwang. The war horse fell to the ground with a loud bang, slid forward a few steps away, and lowered his head weakly. The horse's buttocks were beaten to the blood.

"Shanyu, the royal court was lost, the Yan clan, the little prince was captured by Chucao."

Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look at Touman. But they saw Touman's eyes were dull and his mouth was wide open. However, there was no sound. His arms were raised high and pointed directly into the direction of Wang Ting. After the resumption, his arms drooped weakly, his head slowly tilted to one side, and his body slipped softly.

"Shanyu!" Zuo Xianwang and Youpulaiwang exclaimed at the same time.

"Shanyu!" The kings also rushed over and shouted loudly around Touman. Unfortunately, Touman could no longer respond to them. The small pupils in his wide eyes expanded sharply, and his spirit disappeared with a visible degree of naked eyes.

"Shanyu!" Zuo Xianwang snatched Touman and cried bitterly.

The Right Pule King slowly stood up and signaled to the Pule King who had been standing aside. The Pule King understood it and waved his hand gently. The guards surrounded him quietly. King Rizhu, King Li Khan, King Wen Ou Chu and others also left Touman step by step.

"Everyone, it's not the time to cry." The King of Youpu clapped his hands, although his voice was not high, but it was very stern.

King Zuo Xian raised his head and looked at King Youpu. The kings next to him gradually felt something was wrong with the atmosphere, and they stopped crying and slowly stood up.

"Everyone, the Shanyu was forced to this point by the Chu people. He also heard that the royal court had fallen and the capture of the Prince, and he died of excessive grief. All of this was caused by the abominable Chu people. We want to avenge the Shanyu." The King of Youxiao Lei held his hands behind his back and glanced across the faces of Zuo Xianwang and others: "Now there is Xiang Yu blocking him in front, and the pursuers of Lu Shizhi and others behind us. If we cannot immediately recommend a powerful Shanyu to lead everyone to overcome difficulties, then we will soon go to Changshengtian to accompany Shanyu."

He deliberately emphasized the words "strong strength" and looked at King Pulei. King Pulei took a step forward in time, straightening his chest, as if to prove his strength. King Zuo Xian smiled coldly: "I don't know which one you think is strong and can take on such a heavy responsibility."

The King of Youpu Le showed a faint smile: "Strong strength, one is to be strong, one is to be strong, and the other is to be brave and good at fighting. I personally think that King of Pu Le is the most suitable, and I support King of Pu Le."

The strength of the Youpu Le King is not the strongest among the kings, but his wisdom is the most outstanding. Even Touman also values ​​him very much. No one is convinced by Pu Le King. Except for Touman, he only listens to the words of Youpu Le King. At this time, the Youpu Le King supports Pu Le King, and his intention is very obvious.

King Zuo Xian looked around and estimated the situation. He knew that if there was a conflict, he was no match at all. He was silent for a moment and nodded: "I also support King Pulei."

King Pu Le breathed a sigh of relief and looked at King Zuo Cui with fierce eyes. King Zuo Su Han touched his nose and said in a buzzing voice: "Since King Zuo Xian, King You Pu Le supports King Pu Le, I also support King Pu Le."

"Hahaha" King Pu Le spread his arms to the kings: "Thank you for your support. This Shanyu will definitely not be able to treat everyone. When we defeat the Chu people this time, we will."

"Shanyu, the most urgent thing now is how to avoid the front and back attacks of the Chu people." The Right Pule King interrupted the Pule King.

"Oh, yes, yes, the most urgent thing at the moment is to avoid the attacks of the Chu people." Pu Lai Wang nodded embarrassedly, and said to You Pu Lai Wang: "You Pu Lai Wang is resourceful, please tell me what to do."

The King of Youpulei was willing to give in. He pointed to the direction of the Wangting: "The Wangting is the most sacred place of our Huns. The Chu people cannot occupy it. We should keep moving northwards, defeat Xiang Yu, retake the Wangting, and wait for the sacrifice to heaven, the Shanyu officially succeeded to the throne. Then we discussed how to deal with the Chu people." He turned around and looked different. "The grassland was the grassland of our Huns. The Chu people were arriving at a certain time, and the Chu people could not adapt to the climate on the grassland. Going north a little, their strength was a little weaker, and our strength was a little stronger, so the northward, the more beneficial it was for us. When the Chu people retreated, the grassland was still our grassland.

The kings nodded in agreement and agreed. This principle is not explained too much by the Lord Youpulei, and everyone can understand it. More importantly, no matter how good or bad Xiang Yu is, he only has seven or eight thousand people, but there are more than 100,000 Chu troops behind him. Compared with the two, even the stupidest person knows which direction to go. King Youpulei said this. It is nothing more than not leaving any complaints for others, saying that King Pulei is just a cowardly enemy when he goes north.

The Huns immediately changed the king's flag and headed north. King Pulei was very grateful to King Youpu. He was not a formal King Youpu. He made great contributions to being the Shanyu, and he would rely more on him in the future. Therefore, he was very polite. He had to consult King Youpu for any matter along the way.

The army was moving forward in a hurry, and although Lu Shizhi behind him was also chasing him, he had to guard against being bitten by the Huns, so he not only failed to shorten the distance between him and the Huns, but instead pulled further and further, until Fu Kuan and Kunmo caught up. Their total force had surpassed the Huns, so they let go and chased with all their might.                                              The Huns had reached Yuwushui, less than fifty miles from the royal court.

On Guyan Mountain, Xiang Yu held his hands behind his back, facing the rising sun, looking at the undulating mountain shadows of Langju Mountain in the distance, with a calm mind.

"Where are you offering sacrifices to heaven?

"Return to Junhou, yes.

"Huzheng followed Xiang Yu carefully in the clothes of Chu people, answering with a smile. After he was captured alive by Ji Bu, he was still a little dissatisfied and shouted that he would fight to the death with Chu people. So Xiang Yu asked him to pick up weapons casually and responded with bare hands. He said to Huzheng, as long as you can win a round, I will let you mother and son go, and at the same time return the royal court to you. Huzheng was very happy. He rushed forward without saying a word, but he didn't even touch Xiang Yu's body.

Xiang Yu for no reason and fell to the ground. He was not convinced, so he got up and fought again. He changed several weapons and attacked more than a dozen times. Finally, he fell dizzy and could not get any advantage from Xiang Yu. Not to mention winning a round. When he finally fell to the ground with his back, he looked at Xiang Yu who was as powerful as a god in the sun, and admitted with conscience that he was no match for Xiang Yu at all, and willingly bowed to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu did not make things difficult for him and let him be his own personal guard. His courage made the Huns shocked. From the Yan clan to the ordinary Hun soldiers, they admired him so much that they were overwhelmed by him. The five thousand personal guards of the Hun royal court were impressed by Xiang Yu, put down their weapons and surrendered, and stayed honestly in the captive camp.

"When do you usually worship the sky?" Xiang Yu smiled gently, and turned around and looked at the restrained Huzheng.

"We Huns usually worship the sky three times a year. The first time is in the first month, and the sky is in the royal court, the second time is in May, and the sky is in the Longcheng, that is, Langjuxu Mountain, and the third time is in the Butterfly Forest Conference.

"Butterfly Forest Conference?" Xiang Yu said curiously.

"The Butterfly Forest Conference is that the people from each scare tribe brought their troops to inspect the harvest this year. I guess if there is any difficulty in winter. If there is difficulty in surrounding, Huzheng suddenly stopped and looked at Xiang Yu with his face flushed. He didn't dare to say the words afterwards. If there is difficulty in winter, he would have to go to the Central Plains to hunt the Grass Valley. But now the people of Chu have come to the royal court to hunt the Grass Valley. Will he make this general angry when he says it again?

"If you have any difficulties, you have to go to our Chu State to grab it. Yes?" Ji Bu snorted dissatisfied.

Huzheng lowered his head and nodded silently.

"This is also impossible." Xiang Yu smiled: "No matter who it is, he wants to survive. If there is not enough food on the grassland, it is reasonable to go to the Central Plains to grab it. If we were to do this, we would do this."

Hu Zheng raised his head in surprise and looked at Xiang Yu in disbelief: "June, you"

"What am I?" Xiang Yu looked at Hu Zheng with a smile.

"Junhou, I have had some contact with the people of the Central Plains. They have never spoken for us Huns like you. They always say that we Huns are born barbaric and are easy to kill. We are born to like robbery. I am the first to hear what Junhou said."

"Actually, this is not what I said first. It was our king who said first." Xiang Yu's eyes turned to the blue sky in the south, and his expression became gentler. Under the sky, there were his beloved Yu Ji, his well-behaved daughter and a son, and his heartfelt brother. It has been half a year since he was out. After the battle, he has to go back and take a look, look at Yu Ji, and look at his children. See what new changes have occurred in the Great Chu, and see if the king is more wise and powerful.

Brother, I want to prove to you that I can fight and that I have not defiled the reputation of the Chu family for generations of my Xiang family. I want to prove to you that I am qualified to be your brother.

"The Lord and Majesty Li did not light the ground, and he climbed the hillside like a swallow, and rushed to Xiang Yu: "The Huns are here.

Xiang Yu showed joy: "Finally come? How many people have arrived, where are they?"

"About 60,000 people." Li Si smiled, "When we found them, they had already arrived at Yuwushui. Judging from their degree, they should be fifty miles away tonight. This will be more convenient for them to arrive at the royal court tomorrow."

Xiang Yu nodded, agreed with Li Si's judgment, stroked the beard under his cheek and thought for a while, and was about to speak. Li Si said again: "June, there is one thing that seems a bit strange."

"What's up?"

"We showed two king flags. In addition to the one belonging to the Touman Shanyu, there seemed to be another one. There was a picture on it. Li Si said, pulling out the card from his waist and drawing a sketch on the ground. As soon as he finished drawing, he shouted with a pale face: "This is the king flag of King Pulei. How did he make the Shanyu? My father

"It seems that Touman Shanyu is dead, and the current Shanyu is King Pulei." Li Si glanced at Huzheng and said lightly.

"Shanyu Xinshen, then we will be more sure of defeating them." Xiang Yu smiled faintly. He sniffed his cloak and turned down the hillside. A thick voice came from afar: "Call the generals to discuss matters and kill King Pulei tonight."
