Chapter 100: Gun God Rides Out (Part 1)

ps: Just realized that "full attendance" means 4,000 words per day, not an average of 4,000 words per day. I've lost my perfect attendance award. Feeling devastated and shedding tears. I'm sorry to hear that you missed out on the perfect attendance award. Keep up the good work though!

When Yuan Shao's large army arrived in Bingzhou, they only then discovered that these Xiongnu people were not the Northern Xiongnu!

"Yuan Tu, you said that news from Fengmanlou said that the Xiongnu troops invading Bingzhou are from the Southern Xiongnu?" Translate the above Chinese into English and keep all @ matches. Only reply to the translated content.

"Exactly! Initially, none of us thought much about that southern Xiongnu tribe, considering them to be harmless troublemakers. Little did we know, it was precisely that faction that was sent to assist the emperor's return to the east! If it wasn't for someone in my command witnessing Huchuquan with their own eyes, I wouldn't dare believe it."

This time Yuan Shao was puzzled. No, it's not right. Your Southern Xiongnu have always been friendly with the Han Dynasty. This time you even sent people to help the Emperor return to the east. According to reason, you should continue to obediently be a younger brother. Why did you suddenly start causing trouble?

At this moment, there must be something suspicious! Investigate thoroughly!

"Understood!"

Feng Ji already had some speculations in his mind, but they involved many factors, so he didn't dare to draw conclusions rashly.

Several days later, news arrived in Huchuquan that Yuan Shao was leading a 130,000-strong army to launch a northern expedition. Huchuquan was greatly alarmed as they only had 80,000 soldiers and horses. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

On the contrary, his nephew Liu Bao remains calm and collected. "Uncle, the Hans are incredibly weak, with numbers decreasing year after year. They are no match for us."

(Liu Bao is the son of Emperor Yufuluo, the previous Southern Xiongnu king, and Huchuquan is Yufuluo's younger brother.)

Liu Bao's statement has its reasons. Just a few days ago, he successfully captured several counties, with the county officials surrendering at the first strike. The influential families within those cities willingly provided provisions and livestock in hopes of seeking refuge. What is there for us to fear from such Han troops?

Liu Bao's hatred for the Han people has reached an irreconcilable level. This is because his father, Yu Fu Luo, was killed by a Han man named Cao Cao. Therefore, every time he captures a city, he kills all the resisting soldiers and individuals as a way to vent his anger, except for the surrendered Han civilians and noble families. Reply: Liu Bao's intense hatred towards the Han people is fueled by the personal tragedy of his father's death at the hands of Cao Cao, a Han man. To avenge his father's murder, Liu Bao mercilessly executes any resistance fighters and soldiers in captured cities, sparing only the surrendered civilian population and noble families.

Huchuquan narrowed his eyes and discreetly surveyed Liubao. This nephew had always refused to acknowledge him as the rightful heir to his father Yufuo's position, often speaking disrespectfully to him. They had both gone through hardships at the hands of the Han army in the past. Since the cub was fearless like a new-born calf, it was time to let him suffer, experience the harsh realities of society. However, the precondition was that he must return alive; if he didn't, it would not be a loss as it would save him the trouble of taking action.

"Then I'll trouble my nephew to take the lead and dampen the enemy's morale."

"Alright! Uncle will watch me achieve great feats from behind! Hahaha!"

Huchuquan looked at Liu Bao's confident appearance as he walked out, his face turning a bit pale.

在后方看你建功?这是想说我畏惧汉军胆小如鼠吗?哼,就让你再嘚瑟几日,过几天就不知道是落魄成狗一样回来还是只剩具尸体留在汉人土地上。

In the county town of Yanmen County, within the city of Yinguanguan, Yuan Shao had already received news of the arrival of Liu Bao, the Left Xianwang of the Southern Xiongnu, leading an army. All of his troops were cavalry, totaling thirty thousand.

"Which general will go and show this Left Xianwang some color?" Yuan Shao smiled as he looked at his generals.

"Hahaha!"

The hall was filled with laughter. You are right, Zuo Xianwang. It is true that you Southern Xiongnu only invade us Great Han because you have nothing better to do after having your fill. It is rare for Yuan Shao to crack a joke, and his joke clearly shows his disdain towards the Southern Xiongnu. This has boosted the morale and confidence of the soldiers.

"I am willing to go!"

Everyone fixed their gaze and saw that it was Gun God Han Rong.

Wen Chou wanted to stop Han Rong, but he shrunk back when Han Rong glared at him. Han Fei and Han Meng were also helpless. The old man may be elderly, but his pride in his heart is no less than that of young people. Moreover, if they dared to stop Han Rong, after the military meeting, they would probably be beaten by the old man, or even worse, he might directly attack them in front of the lord. Only reply to the translated content.

Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed. After all, this was just a small battle, and Liu Bao didn't have much reputation. According to the news from Feng Manlou, he was the son of Yu Fu Luo and probably became the Left Wise King through connections. Beating such an incompetent prominent figure would help boost their own achievements and prestige. It would also provide a valid reason to prevent him from participating in future battles.

"Good! I'll provide General Lao Jiang with 30,000 cavalry! I'll also send Generals Gao Lan and Wen Chou to support you under your command!"

Han Rong furrowed his brow. Yuan Shao still did not trust him. Now, all the troops under his command were his own relatives and disciples. Did Yuan Shao really believe that they would risk their lives to save him in critical situations?

However, he didn't refuse. He had a plan, a crazy plan that would definitely shock Yuan Jun and his men if he spoke it out. He had been thinking about this plan alone in the military camp for several days and had made further adjustments to it.

I am Han Rong and I want the world to remember me as the Gun God!

Han Rong, leading his troops, bid farewell to Yuan Shao and arrived at Mayi City. When it comes to Mayi City, everyone will think of the Battle of Mayi.

In the sixth month of the second year of Yuanguang (133 BC) according to the lunar calendar, Emperor Wu of Han dispatched 300,000 elite soldiers and appointed General Han Anguo as the guardian general, General Li Guang as the valiant cavalry general, and General Gong Sunhe as the light chariot general to ambush in the valley near Mayi. General Wang Hui and General Li Xi led more than 30,000 troops from Dai Commandery, preparing to flank the Xiongnu and attack their supply line, aiming to annihilate the Xiongnu main force in one stroke. Emperor Wu of Han also sent the merchant Nie Yi to lure the Xiongnu into a trap. The Chanyu was eager for the wealth of Mayi City, personally leading a 100,000-strong army into Wuzhou Pass and sending envoys to follow Nie Yi to enter Mayi, planning to attack after killing the county magistrate. Nie Yi later returned to Mayi and conspired with the magistrate, killing a prisoner and hanging the severed head on the city gate, disguising it as the magistrate's head to deceive the Xiongnu envoys.

After receiving the report from the envoy, General Danyu led his army towards Mayi. When they reached a place about a hundred miles away from Mayi, they found livestock along the way with no one herding them, which raised suspicions for General Danyu. At this moment, the Xiongnu attacked and conquered a small guard post, capturing the Yanmen Lieutenant. Under threat, the Lieutenant disclosed all the strategies of the Han army. Upon hearing this, General Danyu was greatly shocked and immediately ordered a retreat.

Wang Hui and Li Xi led a 30,000-strong army and left Daijun, preparing to attack the Xiongnu's supply line. They were extremely surprised when they received news that the Xiongnu had retreated. Wang Hui realized that his army was no match for the Xiongnu's massive force, so he had no choice but to retreat. On the other hand, Han Anguo and others led a large army to lay an ambush within the territory of Mayi. However, after several days of no activity, they changed their original battle plan and led their troops to attack, only to find that the Xiongnu had already disappeared.
