Chapter 52: Sow farrowing

Chapter 52

Chu Hechao had not relaxed his vigilance. He was waiting for the support of Huyan Ting or Huyan Huntu.

When Huyan Ting led 20,000 cavalry to come to help, Chu Hechao got the news, so he used the thunder cannon as a deterrent to delay Huyan Ting's steps and fight with Huyan Ting after killing Huyan Wuzhu.

But Chu Hechao did not expect that after learning that Huyan Wuzhu was dead, Huyan Ting did not stay for a moment, and did not even intend to seize his father's head and body. He directly led 20,000 cavalry to turn around and run away. 

However, after learning that Huyan Huntu took the lead in leading his troops back to the royal court, Chu Hechao knew why.

The Xiongnu were not a pure tribe. They had their own country, and their ruling center was called the "Royal Court", also known as the "Chanyu Court"*. The Xiongnu Royal Court was in the south of the desert, so it was called the Southern Desert Royal Court.

Huyan Ting was not as brave and far-sighted as his father. After hearing that his younger brother Huyanhuntu had returned to the royal court of Mo Nan with cavalry, he could not wait to lead his troops back to the royal court. He was worried that the royal court regime would be seized by his younger brother.

Just as Chu Hechao thought, Huyan Ting was indeed anxious to return to the royal court to prevent his younger brother from seizing the throne after his father's death.

He did not feel guilty about his behavior of turning around and running away, and the soldiers around him did not think there was anything wrong.

The Huns did not have their own writing. As long as they could make a profit, they could be uncivilized and shameless.

Father, don't blame me.

Huyan Ting thought silently in his heart against the cold wind.

It is obviously unprofitable to fight Chu Hechao, who has terrible weapons, for your death.

This is the truth you once taught me, and I will always keep it in mind.

Behind him, facing Huyan Ting's departure, Chu Hechao had no way at all.

This is a very realistic problem. Chu Hechao did not have enough cavalry to pursue the Huns and could not go deep into the grassland to find the royal court of the Huns.

The grassland is so vast that it is even more difficult to chase the Xiongnu and wipe them out. It is indeed a huge investment. And 50,000 cavalry is not all that the Xiongnu can take out. If you want to scare the Xiongnu, you must have a strong empire behind you to support it and provide logistics and military equipment.

At the very least, Chu Hechao felt that he had to have at least 100,000 elite cavalry to beat the Xiongnu to flee north and away from the Central Plains.

And this is obviously impossible now, so he has no choice but to watch the Xiongnu leave.

However, this victory is not without benefits.

Huyan Wuzhu died, and there will be another power struggle in the royal court. Huyan Huntu is not a simple person, and he will never be willing to be inferior to Huyan Ting.

The change of power within the Xiongnu will prevent them from coming to disturb the border. The achievement of killing Huyan Wuzhu can also severely deter the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, and the border will be at least three or four years of peace.

After the battle was successful, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and finished off the enemies who were not completely dead.

The wild grass was stained with dark dried blood, penetrating into the mud and sand, and the bodies piled up into hills.
