September 16, 2019.

The atmosphere in Quli City, capital of Weili Kingdom, became extremely depressing and suffocating.

"The Han people have taken down Xingxing Gorge, and our livestock and savings are gone..." The wise men collapsed in their seats with weakness, looking depressed and desperate.

Without livestock, Wei Li's army of 20,000 to 30,000 will soon face the embarrassing situation of lack of food and clothing.

At present, the food stored in the army is only enough for them to need at most half a month.

In other words, the Xiongnu army in Weili is now at the time when it must retreat.

Because, soon, heavy snow will come.

It will be one month later, and if it is fast, it may snow tomorrow.

Snow is nothing to the Huns.

When they were in the northern desert, they experienced even more tragic and powerful natural disasters than the blizzards in the Western Regions.

Sometimes, heavy snow will last for several days, or even half a month.

The weather will continue to decline during this period.

Often after a snow disaster, the Huns turned around and found that countless tribes disappeared into the snow.

The bodies of them and their livestock will be found in the spring.

But even so, most people still survived.

Cold tolerance is the talent of the Huns!

However, even if you are cold-resistant, if you don’t have enough food, even tigers and leopards will freeze to death in the blizzard and starve to death!

"Tu She..." A nobleman stood up and said, "Let's fight with the Han people! While we can still fight now, we will all go out to destroy the Han cavalry!"

"Thirty thousand to eight thousand, the average is about four people to deal with one. No matter how strong the Han Dynasty people are, they will die!"

Others agreed and said, "That's right, and as long as these Han people are eliminated, we can also take back the livestock we lost!"

The wise men listened fearfully and were quite moved.

The current situation is that the Han army raided its own cavalry, and the distance between them was more than 300 miles from their main force.

If they can block them and concentrate their superior forces, they will indeed have a chance to eat the latter.

The old wise listened, but shook his head and said, "How could such a simple thing be!"

"The eight thousand elite cavalry of the Han army... How can we eat without the main force of more than 80,000?"

"In the Battle of Junji Mountain, in order to encircle only 5,000 Han infantry soldiers, and the Marquis of Duke Shanyu concentrated 80,000 main forces, even the elite troops of the royal court sent up, but they almost didn't eat it..."

"Now, those eight thousand Han cavalry are the main force of the Han Dynasty, with aces and 30,000 cavalrymen, and they cannot be eaten!"

Not only can't be gnawed, but it may also cause teeth to collapse!

Not to mention, its main force is more than 300 miles away.

When fighting here, you will move quickly there.

At that time, if you cannot surround yourself, you will be terrified by the Han army!

It doesn’t matter if you are embarrassed, it’s fatal to throw away Wei Li’s army.

"King Jiankun..." The wise man looked at Li Ling, who had been in his seat and closed his eyes and pondering without saying a word: "What can the king do now?"

When Li Ling heard this, he opened his eyes, looked at the wise man, then stood up and saluted, and said, "There is a way..."

He thought about it before continuing, "However, this method may take a lot of risks!"

"King Jiankun might as well talk about it..." The wise man encouraged and cheered up: "No matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than now!"

Li Ling stepped forward and said, "Now, we only have one way to go!"

"Retreat is waiting for death!" He looked at the other Hun nobles sitting and shouted: "Can we retreat there?"

"Once Wei Li and Kucha are lost, the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain will no longer be owned by me, the Han army can march straight into the jurisdiction of the Tongpuweiwei and even the rich and fertile land of the entire Western Region!"

“By that time…”

There was fear in Li Ling's eyes. He was more afraid of facing such a day than the Huns.

Because that means his own failure, a complete failure!

As a traitor, he and his family will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame from now on and will never turn over!

Not to mention like Wu Zixu, I am afraid that the final outcome will be like the Yuezhi people in history, with their tails and their tribes running away from this land, and will never return for eternity!

That is unacceptable!

Li Ling would never accept such a fate!

He dreamed of returning to his hometown one day, and dreamed that one day his name could be ranked alongside Wu Zixu in history.

Instead of being a betrayal minister and a king of barbarians, he will be despised by the world and cursed for all generations!

Never turn over the generations of descendants!

To fulfill this dream, the Huns cannot perish.

At least, it cannot perish until it is completely sinicized and becomes China outside the Great Wall.

Only in this way can he have the chance to whitewash himself like Wu Zixu.

From a person who defected to the barbarians and a minister who turned against the lord, he became a real person.

Unfortunately, such a dream is too far away.

It was so far away that Li Ling had almost no chance to see the day when his dream came true in his lifetime.

He could only wait until his son, grandson and even great-grandson generation had the chance to come true.

But he still did not give up.

Because this is his only last hope.

Like Wu Zixu, being a dignified real man and a great hero, leaving his glorious name in history, not a long time of infamous heritage!

But now, this only hope will also be broken.

This forced Li Ling to do his best to stop, postpone, and delay the nightmare fate!

The other Hun nobles fell into silence after listening to Li Ling's words.

They are not stupid, so they naturally know what Li Ling means.

The loss of Yuli and Kucha on the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains was equivalent to the Huns giving up the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, which finally blocked the Han Dynasty's march into the hinterland of the Western Regions to the Han Dynasty.

From then on, the Han army could unblockedly march through the entire Western Regions from these places.

The final result will inevitably be the change of hands in the entire Western Regions!

What's even more terrible is that they are still fighting alone now!

The main force of the Mobei Royal Court will not be able to support it before next summer!

They also have no strength to support the Western Regions.

The mother, Tushe Shaman, Hulugu Shanyu and the four major clans are now performing a wonderful show in Mobei.

They cooperate and fight each other, and they get into each other's knives.

Because of them, the entire royal court is now divided into pieces, and no one can call on the army of all tribes to come south to aid with one order.

However, the Han Dynasty was not willing to be lonely and made a move in it. They supported and appointed the former Guyan King Xu Yanzhen as the Shanyu, and planned to send the shameful traitor to the old dragon city in Monan to ascend the throne locally.

In this way, the royal court in Mobei is even more unlikely to support them!

"What should we do according to King Jiankun's opinion?" Hu Yanshe, who was the right commander of King Rizhu, asked.
