"Report to General, twenty miles ahead, a red ocean of 30,000 Han people's army has set out."

  A scout horse ran tirelessly to the front of Tuerhong's horse and reported loudly.

  "Twenty miles? Then how far is the Han Dynasty's envoy team from us?" Tu Er Hong furrowed his brow and asked in a low voice.

  "Less than five miles."

  "Five miles..." Tuer Hong glanced at the spirited 45,000 soldiers behind him, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he finally let out a sigh, saying: "Pass down my order, switch the rear army to the front, the entire army will retreat."

  The signaler received the order and blew the horn for retreat.

  More than 40,000 well-trained troops began to withdraw in an orderly manner, and tens of thousands of war horses gathered together, without any chaos. Such elite soldiers were the entire elite corps of the Xiongnu Flying Horse Corps.

  A tall and stately general beside Tuo Er Hong asked in puzzlement, "Big brother, since we're about to catch up, why give up so easily? If you're worried about the old man of the Fang family, I can lead my troops to entangle him."

  "Alas..." Tuo Er Hong said helplessly: "Second Brother, it's not that I don't want to pursue them, but for the sake of avoiding a bigger trouble, we have already crossed the border. If we engage with the Red Ocean again, it will inevitably lead to an all-out war between our two countries. This responsibility I cannot bear."

  There is another thing he didn't say, although they have more than 40,000 people, but facing the 30,000-strong Red Ocean Gun Cavalry and the Black Flag Army that can annihilate 5,000 Huns elite, they may not be able to gnaw on this hard bone. Once the battle is chaotic, who will die in whose hands is still unknown.

  Tu Erhong, as the commander of the Flying Horse Army, immediately mobilized all the troops in the army to pursue and kill them as soon as he received the news that the entire army under his command had been defeated.

  However, Xu Haifeng and others drew lessons from this, discarded most of their baggage, and increased their marching speed several times, and had already crossed the border before they caught up.

  The Red Ocean Gun Cavalry unexpectedly received news from somewhere and dispatched 30,000 elite cavalry to be stationed near the national border, ready to receive the Han envoy.

  Tu Erhong considered it again and again, and finally gave up the idea of adventurously pursuing and killing, leading his troops to return on their own.

  "Have they gone back?" Xuhai Feng asked, looking at the vast expanse of gray dust behind him.

  Withdrawing his distant gaze, Zhe Bie respectfully said: "Yes, General, Tuer Hong has already withdrawn his troops."

  "Hmm..." Xu Haifeng said with a hint of regret: "This Tuer Hong is indeed quite capable, able to make decisions promptly and effectively. The Xiongnu are also full of talented individuals."

  "Drive..." Jiang Gongming came forward from the front of the team, shouting loudly from a distance: "Master, I've said it before, there's no need to worry, Tuhulu Hong is cautious and one of the few wise generals among the Xiongnu people. He will not let his entire army fall into an uncertain battle for a single life or death."

  Xu Haifeng spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, saying: "Still, the military advisor is wise, but if it weren't for this, I would always have an unfulfilled heart."

  It turned out that Xu Haifeng suggested using the fleet as bait. If the Xiongnu people sent troops to chase again, they would unite with the Red Ocean Legion of the Northern Great Camp to annihilate the enemy once more, and try their best to eliminate their living forces, delaying their intention to attack the Great Han.

  However, Jiang Kung-ming strongly opposed it. He referred to the past combat history of the Huns' Flying Horse Army and highly evaluated its leader, Tuer Hong.

  It is assumed that using an envoy as bait, if it is too close to the Han army, Tuer Hong will not be deceived at all. However, if the distance is far, the danger coefficient is too high. If Tuer Hong makes a desperate move and launches a full-scale attack before the Han army arrives, there is a great possibility of both sides suffering heavy losses.

  If one is unkind and hurts any of the girls, it will be a lifelong regret.

  Although Xu Haifeng could send the girls away in advance, as soon as he thought that among them there was still a Liu Ting who absolutely couldn't be known to others, this idea was immediately extinguished in his mind.

  Although Jiang Gongming's words were as smooth as a lotus flower and his speech was as brilliant as the stars, Xu Haifeng had already made up his mind. There was nothing to be done but to make plans for him, carefully setting out each day's route and speed.

  The motorcade of the delegation looked somewhat disheveled and scattered, almost as if they were fleeing in a state of panic.

  Although they were fast, Tuo Erhong was not without hope of catching up.

  Just as Tuer Hong had caught up with their tail, the red ocean led by Fang Rui was already waiting to receive them twenty miles away.

  If Tuoer Hong launches a charge without regard for anything, as long as he can end the battle within half an hour, he can avoid the outcome of clashing with the Red Ocean.

  This is a difficult choice, if it were me, I would definitely choose to go all out, but Tuer Hong chose the latter.

  Looking at Xu Haifeng's slightly disappointed expression, Jiang Kongming remained calm on the surface, but had a hint of complacency in his heart. He didn't want to weaken the main force of the Xiongnu people for his own dream at this moment. So although he set up traps according to Xu Haifeng's orders, he deliberately arranged them to be extremely dangerous, and calculated that Tuer Hong would not dare to repeat the mistake of Bi Du.

  This is also the reason why the Black Flag Army's reputation is well-known, if not for the previous annihilation of Fu Duo's troops, Tuer Hong might not have let go and taken a gamble.

  "Look, General Fang and his men have arrived." Liu Junshu exclaimed excitedly.

  Since Xu Haifeng proposed using the envoy as bait to kill more Huns, Su Chunwei and Liu Junshu have been uneasy in their hearts, although they didn't say anything.

  But they also didn't want to raise objections at this point, and instead, when Xu Haifeng suggested sending them away first, they all refused without hesitation.

  No matter how pretentious their refusal was, Xu Haifeng was already very satisfied, which shows that they were not afraid of death after all. The Great Han has such loyal ministers, and only then can they compete with the tiger-like Xiongnu people.

  However, when they saw that the Huns in the rear were withdrawing and friendly forces were approaching from the front, they all let out a long sigh of relief.

  Xu Haifeng rode his horse alongside Su Chunwei as they went forward to greet them.

  "Big brother, I didn't expect you to come in person, it's really embarrassing." Xǔ Hǎifēng laughed loudly.

  Directional sound came to his side, gave him a bear hug on the horse, and patted him heavily on the back, saying: "Good brother, my eyes are not blind, you have become a good man who can stand up to the sky."

  Xu Haifeng's heart warmed up, thinking that since he got to know him, he had been taken care of in every way. Although the two of them didn't meet often, they understood each other deeply, and Xu considered him a close friend, not a biological brother but even closer than one.

  Suddenly, Xu Haifeng seemed to have a feeling, he let go of his hands and carefully measured the direction of Ming, only to see that his temperament was even more calm and steady, apparently the military career had allowed him to make another breakthrough, at this time he had successfully entered the ranks of a top-notch master.

  "Congratulations, big brother." Xu Haifeng offered his sincere congratulations.

  The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing the joy that he couldn't hide in his heart. Among the younger generation of the Fang family, so far, only he had successfully broken through to the first rank.

  With the addition of his sworn brother Xu Haifeng as a strong support, the next position of the family head is already destined for him.

  "Even so, although I have made some progress, compared with you, it's still a huge gap."

  He thought of Xu Haifeng, this sworn brother, who was indeed delighted by his outstanding achievements, but also couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Fortunately, the two had a close relationship and didn't hide their feelings: "You defeated the great Caesars in the battle against the Huns, and later defeated Li Zhi under your control. With such skills, do you still consider me in your eyes?"

  "Oh..." Xu Haifeng exclaimed: "How did you know about this too, big brother?"

  "It's not just me who knows, this matter has already spread throughout the camp. Third Uncle even wrote a special memorial for it and sent it to the capital by fast horse. Within a month, your name as the number one young master will be known nationwide." Fang Ming laughed loudly: "Such an achievement, even I, this big brother, would be extremely jealous of it."

  Xu Haifeng's spiritual awakening was filled with deep joy, knowing that he was truly happy for himself, and he firmly grasped his large hand, everything was understood without a word.

  "Let the two of you catch up later, I still have urgent matters to report to General Fang. Please ask Brother Ming to introduce us." Su Chunwei saw that the two of them were chatting endlessly, although for now the threat from the Xiongnu had temporarily passed, but it would be better to inform General Fang about Caesar's alliance with the Xiongnu as soon as possible.

  Chao Su Chunwei smiled and said: "It was my mistake, Brother Su, please follow me."

  He and Su Chunwei have known each other since childhood, and there are no outsiders here, so they simply call each other brothers.

  Thirty thousand troops cannot be said to have left immediately, so Fang Zhiyuan left his deputy in command and took Su Chunwei and Liu Junshu ahead.

  He originally wanted to drag Xu Haifeng down with him, but Xu Haifeng flatly refused.

  Fang Ming had no choice but to let his sworn brother follow the army at a slow pace.

  Before leaving, he whispered to Xu Haifeng: "Younger brother, someone has been waiting for you in the big camp for three months. When you return to the big camp, be careful how you respond."

  Xu Haifeng looked at him with a mysterious expression, just about to ask, when suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and Fang Yingying's bright and unparalleled smile appeared in his mind. His eyebrows jumped, and he blurted out: "Yingmei?"

  Fang Ming looked at him with a strange expression and asked: "How did you know? Are you an immortal or something?"

  Xu Haifeng sighed and shook his head, his sixth sense had become increasingly sharp in recent days. Some things, as long as he started talking about them, he could naturally say the outcome, and often nine out of ten would be correct. This skill made Jiang Kongming envy him endlessly.

  Su Chunwei urged on the side, Fang Xiangming had no choice but to shout and lead a thousand-man team to escort the two generals to the northern camp.

  Xu Haifeng turned his head to look back at the road he came from, and saw that the vast grassland was empty, with no one in sight as far as the eye could see. A sense of melancholy arose for no reason.
