Chapter 80 Section Eleven

When I came back, Zuo Da Hu Xu Budang, who was stationed in Jiankun Tucheng, was shocked when he saw my distressed appearance.I was also a little ashamed, I concealed the details of my competition with Chen Tang, and only said that I met the Kangju cavalry, and they attacked me. Xu Budang said angrily: "Kang Juguo is so courageous. Back then, Shan Yu pitied them and did not exterminate them. Now that our Xiongnu have a little civil strife, they dare to rebel. They really don't know the heights of heaven and earth." Lan Wutuo, the captain on the right, agreed, "Shanyu, why don't we march into Kangju and destroy them."

I sighed in my heart, Kangju is also a big country, and in previous years when the Xiongnu were in their heyday, it might be possible to destroy them with all the strength of the whole country.Now that the Huns are in such a state of decline, I have only 30,000 soldiers and horses. How can I destroy Kangju, which has 120,000 strong cavalry?What's more, both the Protector of the Western Regions and the Captain Wuji of the Han Dynasty were stationed in the Western Regions, with the mission of protecting the countries in the Western Regions, and they had always been eyeing the Xiongnu.While thinking about it in my mind, I couldn't stop sighing.Occasionally, I thought of the enchanting appearance of that Kangju beauty, and I felt unspeakable resentment in my heart.

"Did something happen these days?" I changed the subject. Lan Wutuo said: "Just as I was about to report to Shan Yu, the envoy of the Han Dynasty is about to arrive, and he has brought General You back with him. This was reported by the officials who preceded the envoy of the Han Dynasty yesterday." I was overjoyed, but when I thought of Chen Tang, I became angry again. In the damn Han Dynasty, even a small envoy, Chen Tang, dared not to take me seriously, just to see how I could retaliate against them. "As soon as they arrive, report to me." I ordered, "Also, send an envoy to Kangju to find out their reality."
