Chapter 43: Zarha's decision, 43 elite cavalrymen leave the camp
Chapter 43: Zarha's decision, five thousand elite cavalry leave the camp
Simultaneously.
Under the order of Huo Qubing.
He asked his soldiers to set up camp on the spot and wait for Min Shaoshan to arrive.
It was more than fifty miles away from Huo Qubing.
The army under Zarha.
They also set up camp.
The Chinese military tent.
A barbarian scout knelt on one knee in the tent.
He reported respectfully, "Your Highness, Huo Qubing ordered his elite cavalry to set up camp and cook an hour ago, and did not continue the pursuit."
"Didn't you catch up?"
Upon hearing this, Zarha breathed a sigh of relief.
He waved his hand tiredly and said, "Go down."
These days.
Several times, he was almost caught up by Huo Qubing and he didn't dare to pull away.
Running all the way into the depths of the grassland.
For several days in a row.
It can be said that both the people and the horses are exhausted.
Compared with his previous high spirits, Zarha now looks exhausted.
"Muhama."
After the scouts retreated.
Zhaerha raised his head wearily, looked at Muhama under the tent and said, "Based on your experience, does Huo Qubing intend to give up?"
"Return to the eldest prince."
Muhama shook his head upon hearing this.
Seeing Zhaerha's disappointed expression, he said in a deep voice: "Based on my understanding of Huo Qubing, he is not someone who gives up easily. There must be something fishy going on."
If it were that easy to give up.
How could it be possible that Huo Qubing, with only 7,000 elite cavalry, could terrify the 300,000 barbarian troops?
"He dares to chase after me?"
Zhaerha frowned and said, "A few dozen miles ahead is the territory of several tribes of our barbarian tribe. Isn't he afraid of being surrounded and killed by our barbarian men?"
Although these barbarian tribes are small in number.
But if we piece them together, we can still gather 30,000 soldiers.
He served under Huo Qubing.
There are only three thousand elite cavalrymen, how dare you chase us?
"Huo Qubing cannot be viewed with common sense. He is a man of swift military tactics and is brave and skilled in battle. Although his strategy is not as good as that of the King of Zhenbei, he should not be underestimated."
Muhama said solemnly, "Prince, you must not be careless when facing this person."
"Humph!"
After Muhama finished speaking.
The sturdy man in a woolen cloak inside the tent snorted coldly.
He said disdainfully: "Muhama, you praised Huo Qubing so much, but he hasn't caught up with us in the past few days. How can you say that you are using troops at such a high speed?"
talking.
The strong man glared at Muhama again.
Then he bowed to Zarha who was in the upper position and said, "My great prince, please don't blame me for being nosy. We have been avoiding battles for the past few days and we are all very frustrated."
"Such behavior."
"That's not the style of a barbarian like me."
"In the past few days, there have been frequent discussions in the camp. They all say that you, the eldest prince, are as timid as a mouse and were frightened by Huo Qubing, which made them feel aggrieved as well."
Zarha's face changed.
After it looked ugly, the strong man seemed not to notice it.
He continued with a sneer, "My Lord, although I feel a little aggrieved, I also know that this is the will of the Barbarian King and has nothing to do with you, my Lord. But the men in the camp don't know. If they continue like this, they will be ridiculed when they return. I don't care, but you, my Lord."
"enough."
Seeing that the strong man was still planning to continue speaking.
Muhama interrupted him angrily: "Yelü Wan, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I know what I'm talking about."
Yelu Wan looked at him coldly and said, "I am doing this for the sake of the eldest prince's reputation. What's wrong with that?"
talking.
Yelu Wan sneered again.
He looked at Muhama with a half-smile and said, "It's you who has been bragging about how strong Huo Qubing is, encouraging the eldest prince to retreat again and again and avoid him."
"As a result, the soldiers in the camp were dissatisfied with the eldest prince and rumors spread everywhere."
"What are you worried about?"
This question made Muhama's pupils shrink.
He quickly looked at the eldest prince.
as predicted.
There was already a hint of suspicion in the look Zarha gave him.
See this.
Muhama's face changed, and he quickly explained: "Prince, I..."
"Okay." But the words had just come out of his mouth.
He was interrupted by Zarha in a calm tone: "I will not doubt you."
Muhama was not relieved when he heard this.
Instead, his expression looked somewhat ugly.
Because he heard the alienation in the eldest prince's words.
"Thank you, eldest prince."
In Yelu Wan's sneer.
Muhama gave a bitter smile, bowed and stepped aside, feeling extremely helpless.
"Yelü Wan is right."
Seeing Muhama shut up, Zarha frowned.
He said in a slightly cold tone: "If I continue to avoid fighting, I am afraid that within a few days, my reputation as a coward will spread throughout the royal court."
Although the move to avoid war was instructed by the Barbarian King himself.
But Zarha knew in his heart that his father would never explain for him when the time came.
Once the rumor gets back to the royal court.
Then I'm afraid I will miss the throne.
Barbarians.
There is no need for a cowardly king.
Once the rumor spread, even if he told the truth, the barbarians would no longer believe him.
So he couldn't retreat any further.
Even if Huo Qubing was really as terrifying as the legend said, he was no match for him.
A complete failure!
You won't be branded as a coward.
"It's long overdue."
Yelu Wan, who was in the tent, heard this.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately asked loudly: "My prince, just give me five thousand elite cavalrymen, and I will set out now. Tomorrow morning, I will present the head of Huo Qubing to you and soak it in wine."
In his opinion.
What a crap Huo Qubing.
They are just three thousand elite cavalrymen, how can they cause such a huge upheaval?
"it is good!"
Zarha saw this.
There was a gleam of brilliance in his eyes, and he nodded.
Looking at Yelu Wan who was full of confidence, he said: "Then I will give you 5,000 elite cavalry."
"Thank you, eldest prince."
He saw that the eldest prince really gave him five thousand elite cavalry.
Yelu Wan was overjoyed.
He immediately patted his chest, and in his rough voice, there was a hint of excitement: "Since the eldest prince trusts me so much, I will live up to your expectations and chop off Huo Qubing's head."
"Go."
Zarha waved his hand when he heard this.
He said slowly: "Then this prince will wait here for good news from General Yelu."
"I will retire at the end."
Yelu Wan bowed.
After giving Muhama another sneer, he opened the tent and strode away.
"Ugh!"
See this scene.
Muhama sighed deeply.
Knowing that it was useless for him to say anything now, he also planned to leave: "Prince, if there is nothing else, I will leave now."
"Ah."
Zarha didn't even look at Muhama.
He just hummed softly.
Upon seeing this, Muhama said nothing, but bowed deeply to the eldest prince.
So he walked out of the tent.
As soon as he left the tent.
Muhama looked at the men in the camp and began to prepare for war after Yelu Wan gave the order.
Only half an hour.
Five thousand elite cavalry are ready to go.
"Reckless man."
"A brainless fool."
Looking at Yelu Wan who led his army away with laughter, Muhama cursed angrily.
He took a deep breath and frowned.
He called his personal guards.
A group of more than twenty riders also left the camp and headed deep into the grassland.
