Chapter 117 Southern Huns

 The emperor's edict was passed to the Qiangqu of the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu. After carefully reading the edict, he summoned a middle-aged man about forty years old. He had a tall face and a strong figure.

After seeing him, Shanyu said, "Yufuluo, the Emperor of Han sent us to fight against the rebels. Since the edict has been in my hands, it is not allowed to be rejected. So you bring a group of people."

Yu Fulu replied affirmatively: "Okay, I will lead my troops to the Han area."

Shanyu continued to remind him: "There may be many of this trip, so you have to pay more attention to safety."

Yu Fuluo answered confidently: "Our army is full of brave people, so there will be no danger. Please don't worry, my father."

Shanyu sighed and said, "I don't know how long you have been out here." The old man's hair and beard were all white, and he had to squint his eyes and read it carefully before he could see it clearly.

Yufuluo said in a certain tone: "I think I will be able to come back soon. After all, we are just going to assist the Han army in the fight against the rebels. I heard that the general I want to cooperate with is the famous white horse general Gongsun Zan, who has great military achievements. I think I will be able to complete the emperor's edict soon."

Shanyu was reluctant to say in his tone: "I hope this is the case. I hope the gods can bless you with a smooth journey."

Liu Chang and his men quickly caught up with Zhang Fei's troops who had left before. The two of them joined forces and set up camp at a suitable place at the junction with Gaoyang County.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask, "Don't we fight out to rescue the King of Envoys? Just wait for the arrival of the rebels here. If Yecheng is captured, wouldn't we be very passive?"

Zhao Di said to Zhang Fei, "Don't worry, let's wait a moment. After all, these soldiers are all trained by ourselves. One less death is the only one we came out to prevent this group of rebels from coming to Zhongshan to rob. The city walls of Yecheng are tall and they should not have broken the city so quickly."

Liu Chang also said, "Wait a minute, I have received news before. The emperor has sent Gongsun Zan to lead troops to attack this group of rebels. When he arrives, we will not lose too much power whether we will assist him or expel this group of rebels at will."

Zhao Di immediately agreed and said, "Since the emperor has sent the lord general here, we should wait until we can cooperate with him. If the situation in Jizhou is disrupted because of us, I am afraid it is hard to say in front of the king's envoy."

Liu Chang nodded in agreement: "I'll wait a little longer to see what Grandpa Guo has plans, and we'll be together then."

After Yu Fuluo left the royal court with his men, a group of Hun nobles began to conspire somewhere.

An obese middle-aged man wearing gold and silver said: "The Han emperor repeatedly recruited us to fight for him, and the men complained. The Shanyu and Qiangqu were all in everything according to the Han emperor, completely disregarding the interests of our Huns. So what is the use of us khan?"

Then an old man with a sinister expression also responded: "Now the plague is rampant, and the cattle and sheep die suddenly because the Shanyu neglected the gods. He has lost his awe of the sun and has only catered to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. All of this is the punishment of the sun. Therefore, we must destroy him and let the sun's brilliance spread to the grasslands of our Huns again."

A strong man in armor said in a bewitching tone: "His son Yufuro has left the royal court with his soldiers loyal to him. This is a good opportunity for us. If we want to do something, we should take this opportunity to do it quickly."

The old man looked at him and said in a plain tone: "Shubu Guduhou, I know what you think. I know what you want to do. We can support you, but what if we succeed?"

When the Hou of Xubu Gudu saw that things were negotiated, he continued: "If I become a new Shanyu, of course, it would be important to the interests of our Huns. We will not obey the orders of the Han emperor. We will no longer send soldiers to sacrifice our lives for other people's affairs. Our Huns' children should sprinkle blood and iron for themselves. I worship the sun every day, and at the beginning of the sunrise, I will go back to pay homage to the sun's blessings to us."

Hearing this promise, the other two were very satisfied.

The elderly said, "Then you go and prepare, we will support you. I hope you can keep your promises, and the sun will not forgive those who do not keep their promises."

The fat middle-aged man nodded and said, "As long as he no longer sends people to fight for others, I will support you."

Xubu Guduhou said, "Very good, I'll go back and prepare now. I'll do this in the near future. I hope you can help me stabilize the situation."

The old man said, "Don't worry, you will definitely satisfy you."

So Xubu Gudu Hou left here first and waited for him to leave.

The fat man said, "What if he lied to us?"

The old man laughed horrifically like a night owl. After a while, he said in a tragic tone: "Don't worry, as long as he kills Shanyu first, I will naturally have a way to deal with him. Sometimes swords and weapons are not the best choice, we will use a method that no one opposes."

A few days later, Xubu Gudu Hou led his tribe into the royal court and killed the Shanyu Qiangqu. The rest of the people supported him as the new Shanyu as agreed.

Xubu Guduhou, who became the new Shanyu, laughed and said to everyone who supported him: "If you hadn't supported my position, someone would have opposed it, and I would have adopted your ideas."

The old man smiled and complimented him, "Then thank you Shanyu for being able to understand the suffering of our Huns." Then he shouted loudly to the rest of the people: "We have shed enough blood for the Emperor of Han, and now we have to think about ourselves. From now on, we Huns live for ourselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people below immediately cheered. Various voices kept shouting.

Yu Fuluo, who had already walked away, dared not return to the royal court after receiving the news, nor was he going to implement the emperor's edict. He quickly led his men to Bingzhou and sent a message to the emperor for help, hoping to enthrone himself as the new Shanyu, but he did not get the answer he wanted.

After receiving the edict, Gongsun Zan immediately led his soldiers to start the conquest of the rebels in Youzhou, Jizhou. Gongsun Zan has always been famous in the hearts of the Wuhuan people. For a time, his troops were invincible.
