Hearing the return, Zhou Bo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.
“How many people, and who led them?”
The Qin army hurriedly replied.
“About ten thousand men, and the leader of the other party is the second prince of the Huns.”
“The second prince of the Xiongnu?”
Zhou Bo’s eyes lit up slightly, he and Lu, the two of them, each with 5,000 men, were carrying out military orders at the border of the grassland.
Liu Bang and the others were in the rear, providing them with support.
Encountering Xiong Nu here was no longer an uncommon thing, and the two sides had exchanged blows, winning and losing.
It was just that the Qin army was small in number and did not choose to fight the other side in a battle of attrition.
Their original mission, to hold the original Qiang and Yuezhi’s grassland, after this place is also the source of Qin’s war horses, and then is to infest the Xiong Nu, so that the other side can not recuperate, but the Xiong Nu this time is very decisive.
Directly gave up many fertile grasslands and retreated to the deepest part of the grassland!
They couldn’t even find each other and had to call it quits.
After that, Liu Bang had a new order to go to the surrounding small countries to look for trouble, and in the process spread the national prestige of Great Qin.
Lest these people move something they shouldn’t, this is no problem, this is also the new border of Great Qin, stabilising the border is a soldier’s duty.
As for the order to take some people captive, he did not carry it out.
He was a general, not a slave trader!
Of course, there were Qin troops who went private for money, and he just turned a blind eye.
As long as it wasn’t too much, he wouldn’t spoil anyone’s fortune.
But now there is news about the second prince of Xiong Nu, if he can kill the other party, then it would be a good merit.
And maybe even find out where the Huns’ royal court is.
He was a little moved, and quickly said.
“Gather a thousand men and follow me!”
They were going to see if there was any chance of beheading this time, they would not attack directly.
Soon, a thousand Great Qin cavalry followed Zhou Bo out of the camp.
At this moment, in a small town, a group of Huns are plundering and slaughtering.
They want to get enough supplies for their clans before the winter.
On the top of the city, Yi looked at the tragic image inside the city, his face was a bit ironic, and he said to Erhei, who was beside him.
“Brother Erhei, why did that person suddenly ask us to attack this city?”
Erhei thought slightly for a while, and said.
“It should be for us to get some supplies.”
After Yi had failed in his attempt to kill the man last time,as a punishment, he had been sidelined a lot.
A good job like capturing a city was not Yoshi’s turn.
Righteousness himself is actually indifferent, because uncle said, don’t do unnecessary killing.
But this time, he was suddenly sent out by that person to plunder the city.
“Brother Erhei, when will cur get in touch with uncle.”
Yi this time with a few anxious said.
This period of time, his days are not easy, if not have two black they are around, he does not know how long he can hold out.
Two Black said at this time.
“Soon, soon, recently you should have heard, around the Qin army also encountered, there should also be family master sent manpower.”
Yi listened to nodded, and then with a bit of pride said.
“Brother Erhei, when the time comes, you can talk to uncle about what I did for uncle.”
Erhei patted his chest without hesitation and said.
“I’ll take care of this, the family head will definitely be proud of you when he finds out.”
Yi instantly revealed a smile, when he was by his uncle’s side before.
Because of his age, Yi was the most valued, Lian because of his smallness, he also always got some attention.
Only himself, who was in the middle, was more or less ignored.
Right now, he was the pride of his uncle.
Listening to Erhei’s words, the other teenage soldiers around him couldn’t help but look at each other.
Brother Erhei’s ability to talk nonsense was getting better and better.
Right now in this place, it was impossible for them to get in touch with the family head.
The head of the family probably thinks they’re all gone now.
How could he send someone to meet them.
Just as Erhei and Yi continued their exchange, a Hun scout hurriedly ran over and reported.
“Second Prince! We’ve found traces of the Qin army!”
Hearing this, Yi was not shocked but rather delighted, and said to Erhei with extreme excitement that
“Brother Erhei! It’s Uncle’s men! It must be Uncle’s people! This is too much of a coincidence!”
Erhei also froze for a moment, he had never thought that it would be such a coincidence!
They had just come over, and then they encountered Qin Jun. They could get in touch with the family head now, and he also had a lot of information that he wanted to send out!
So suppressing his emotions, he deliberately said.
“It’s not a coincidence, we’ve only just come over…”
Halfway through his words, Erhei came to a violent stop.
Yes, how could there be such a coincidence, when they were around earlier, they had not encountered the Qin army at all, it was as if someone had deliberately obstructed them.
And now only after being sent over by Bolden, they encountered them?
And by the looks of it, both sides had discovered each other.
How could there be such a coincidence?
Thinking about the people that Bolden planted around Yi last time, although they cleared them once, who can guarantee that all of them are clean in so many clans?
If someone finds out that his people are in contact with the Qin army…
Thinking of this, Erhei couldn’t help but look serious and quickly said.
“Yi, something is not right, we need to send people to attack those Qin troops now!”
Without waiting for Yi to question, Erhei roughly stated his suspicions, and Yi frowned after hearing this.
Erhei even said in a consoling voice that
“Since we know that the Qin army is here, we will naturally have a chance.”
Only then did Yi nod and called for the messenger to order that the
“Send three thousand men to attack!”
Not long after, the three thousand Huns left after the scouts.
On the grassland, a Qin Army scout sped past, shouting.
“General! The enemy is attacking!”
Zhou Bo looked at the city in the distance with some regret, they were actually discovered, this group of Huns were quite alert.
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly turned his horse around and left with his men.
He wasn’t going to fight hard with these people.
Only he didn’t realise that when he left with his people, a Hun scout in the distance, left the place and went all the way to a Hun camp.
In the very centre of the camp, after listening to the returns, Boldon smiled and said to the guards around him that
“It seems that my second son, in his heart, has returned to the grasslands, you go, and give him another 5,000 men.”
This time, naturally, he deliberately leaked his whereabouts to lure the Qin army and set up this one test.
Now that his second son had passed the test, naturally there would be a reward.
The guards naturally led the order to leave and walked to a campsite, saying to the man at the head of the group.
“Gather five thousand believers and send them to the second prince, he needs to be a little stronger now!”
They had been targeted, but after knowing that last time, the God of Heaven had annihilated hundreds of thousands of Huns at once.
Their faith in the God of Heaven was even stronger.
Other than the power of the Heavenly God, who else could do such a thing?
They were even secretly influencing the Huns around them, and the Heavenly God Cult was slowly growing in the shadows instead.
And the God of Heaven had issued an oracle before…
“Gathering is a ball of fire, scattering is a sky full of stars.”
Now is the time for those of them to slowly build up their strength!
Once the time was right, they would return to the embrace of the Heavenly God!
