Chapter 269: Bad News

All the Huns were very excited, and He Lanxiong was no exception. This trip to the Zhao Kingdom turned out to be smooth as never before. There was no fierce battle as imagined. Every tribe of the Huns robbed a lot of money. Except, what worries him now is how to transport the looted things back? His subordinates are too few, but he has robbed too many things. Picking and picking, I don't even bother to look at the worthless things. They must be valuable and easy to carry. Like him, all the members of the Helan Department are also blushing. This time, It can be regarded as making a fortune. Although the Helan Department stipulates that all the confiscated must be handed over first, and then the tribe will reward it according to merit, but He Lanxiong is not stingy. This time he made a huge fortune. Will it be less? Everyone starts to think about how many cattle and sheep they will add when they go home, and what else needs to be bought at home?

He Lanxiong thought differently from these ordinary soldiers. After returning home, the first thing he did was to order a batch of weapons from Gao Yuan, especially the long-range and fast-firing crossbow. His sister told him about this The sharpness of this weapon, although he has not seen this thing yet, but it must be extraordinary to make his sister full of praise, his sister is not an ignorant woman.

However, this kind of military weapon, Gao Yuan may not sell it to himself. Although the two families have a good relationship, there is still a difference after all. He Lanxiong has been entangled in this matter for a long time. It may be too much, but the amount I need is the bigger the better.

Maybe, on top of the business with Gaoyuan, I made a little more concessions to let Gaoyuan take more benefits in exchange, not to mention anything else, just sold the fierce warlords sold to the various tribes of the Huns by myself. For wine, Gaoyuan can earn more than 100,000 guan per year by raising the purchase price a little.

Gao Yuan needs money. He needs a lot of money, like his way of raising soldiers, it's no wonder that he doesn't need money! Sounds good, it's more expensive than raising a son!

However, his soldiers are really capable of fighting, and he has cooperated with Gao Yuan several times. He Lanxiong has a deep understanding of Gao Yuan's subordinates' fighting ability.

Gao Yuan needs money, and he has a lot of money now, not to mention, if he makes concessions in these businesses, he will only make less money. He Lanxiong has made up his mind. On the grassland, it will only become stronger and stronger. This time, He Lanxiong was deeply stimulated by going out at the order of the Hun King. He thought that he was already a character, but in the eyes of those big patriarchs, he was still a man who came at the beck and call. Go away, insignificant person.

We should go back! Now that the Xiongnu army has penetrated hundreds of miles into the country of Zhao, firstly, it is too far away from the grassland, the army has begun to feel some pressure, secondly, everyone has no extra place to pretend to plunder the wealth. Looking at the cartloads of wealth in the camp, He Lanxiong felt really happy.

Thinking back to the days of the past two years that could not be uncovered and could be destroyed at any time, He Lanxiong still feels as if he is in a dream.

Just remembering bitterness and sweetness, the main battalion suddenly heard the sound of bull horns assembling the generals. He glanced in that direction, and He Lanxiong slapped the ground hard. He really didn't want to see that shame The high-spirited Li borrowed Guiyao, thinking of him, would make He Lanxiong so angry that he was the commander of the left army, but it was this one. In front of him, I had to bow down, otherwise I would make him unhappy Now, I will be destroyed at any time.

It's all because he is not strong enough, not to mention anything else, if he has half his strength, would he dare to treat him like this? It's a pity, this is the only one who can get his hands on it now, not less than a fraction of others, except for bowing his head Take it easy and don't have any other thoughts.

After the assembly call was blown for the second time, He Lanxiong didn't dare to be negligent, got on his horse, and galloped towards the main camp. What could happen? Why didn't he drink too much again and call everyone to show off! He Lanxiong thought dissatisfiedly.

One after another the war horses galloped into Li Jubu's big camp. It seemed that most of the people had drunk alcohol, and a strong smell of alcohol permeated the big tent. Zihong, He Lanxiong couldn't help but frowned. Speaking of which, his troops carried good wine with them, but he only allowed the soldiers to drink it last winter when he was forced to be an outpost to explore the way, to keep warm, like Now, he will never allow the soldiers to drink. Moreover, these spirits can be used to save lives at critical moments. In the past, he teamed up with Gao Yuan to fight, and the wounded soldiers poured some of these spirits on their wounds and used Gao Yuan In other words, after disinfecting and then applying herbs, the recovery speed of the soldiers became much faster, and the number of people who died due to wound infection and festering was greatly reduced.

Most of the generals were standing in the big tent, a little staggered, but when Li borrowed Guiyao's words, it was like a heavy rain pouring down, pouring cold water on everyone, and even He Lanxiong was scared out of his wits cold sweat.

Li Xin of the Qin Kingdom, commanding one hundred thousand Qin troops, entered the grassland under the control of the Xiongnu, swept all the tribes all the way, and now only went to the royal court. The King of the Huns has issued an order, and all the tribes will return to the grassland as quickly as possible. to save the royal court.

In the big tent, the bigger the tribe is, the more panicked it will be, because only the more powerful tribe will be the target of the Qin army. A small tribe like He Lanxiong was originally close to the natural enemy Donghu. , It's thousands of miles away from the royal court, Qin Jun will not go to him if he goes to the wrong place.

He Lanxiong suddenly felt a little happy when he saw that Li Tingguiyao was a bit ignorant, yet pretended to be murderous. Damn it, it would be better for Qin Jun to kill all of your Guiyao tribe.

As soon as this idea came out, He Lanxiong couldn't help but feel a little bit ashamed. No matter how domineering and unreasonable Li Teng Guiyao was, he was still his own clansman. , how can life be easier? I have to go back, go back to the grassland, defeat the Qin army, and beat them back. He Lanxiong clenched his fists.

"Call back!"

"Kill those god-killing Qin people!"

Inside the big tent, there were bursts of roaring sounds.

On Xiling City, Zilan looked at the endless Huns camp in the distance with a worried look on her face. Although there were various indications that the other party had no intention of attacking the city, there were accidents, and all preparations had to be made in the city. , was already overcrowded, and most of the people who had evacuated earlier crowded into Xiling City, and the city was already overcrowded.

Zilan worried that if the Huns stayed in Daijun for a long time and the people in the city were trapped in the city for a long time, there would be problems with the grain storage in Xiling City. Nothing left.

Outside the city, the sound of horns was endless. To the soldiers of Dai County, the meaning of these horn sounds could not be clearer. It was the horn of the gathering generals. With the sound of the horn outside, the people in Xiling City also Getting busy, groups of soldiers boarded the city wall and began to prepare for defense.

"They're not going to attack the city, they're leaving!" A general suddenly shouted, full of surprises.

They were indeed about to leave. The Huns tore down their tents and drove their carriages without even looking at Xiling City. The horseshoes hurriedly turned their backs to Xiling City and went further and further away.

Following the footsteps of the Huns going away, there was a huge cheer from the city of Xiling, these gods of plague were finally leaving. The sound of cheer from the city spread farther and farther, and slowly expanded to the entire city.

Xiling City, which has been ruled by fear for many days, is finally looking forward to the day when the clouds will open and the moon will shine.

Zi Lan let out a long breath, and finally passed, "Come on!" He called in a low voice.

"President of the country!" A general beside him came up.

"Send sentry cavalry immediately, follow them, keep an eye on them, beware of their tricks, if they shoot back their carbines, then Xiling City will be in trouble," Zilan ordered.

"Yes, Prime Minister, the general understands!"

Zilan took one last look at the back of the away invader, turned around and walked down the city wall, the crisis finally passed, earlier than expected, earlier is better, the Huns left one day earlier, Daijun will suffer one day less Daijun can also resume production one day earlier, recovering a little bit more losses.

This time Daijun suffered too much loss, half of Daijun was trampled by the iron hooves of the Huns, under the iron hooves of these barbarians, what is left in these places? Zi Lan looked up to the sky and sighed, "Your Majesty, this time , you should rest assured? As you wish, Daijun has not had a few decades to rest and recuperate, and he will never regain his strength."

Feeling lost and back at the mansion, Zi Lan just wanted to sleep well. These days, he has not had a good sleep. Previously, he was unable to fall asleep due to nervousness, worry, and worry. Now that the enemy is gone, he can finally feel at ease up.

Climbing onto the bed, before she could even take off her clothes, Zi Lan was already snoring like thunder.

However, he finally didn't wake up naturally as he wished, and after nightfall, Zilan was woken up.

The general he sent came back, seeing his expression, the sleepy Zilan was suddenly so startled that she lost all sleepiness.

"The Huns are back again?" he exclaimed, "Is the city ready for battle?"

The general shook his head, "Prime Minister, the Huns didn't come back. The guards we sent out captured a few Huns who were alone, and they confessed the reason for the sudden withdrawal of the Huns."

"What's the reason, isn't it because you have robbed enough, robbed enough?" Zilan asked.

"No, the Qin army, with 200,000 troops, raided the court of the Huns and swept across the Huns' tribes on the grassland. King Yemang of the Huns urgently ordered all the tribes of the Huns to return to the grassland immediately and fight against the Qin army!" Still scared.

Zi Lan suddenly jumped up, "Isn't the Qin army at Hangu Pass, why did they run to the grassland all of a sudden?"

"The prisoner said that Qin general Li Xin led twenty troops to the grassland."

Zilan immediately stayed on the spot, and after a while, he suddenly screamed, "Get your horse ready, get your horse ready, I'm going to Hangu Pass, hurry up, get your horse ready!" (To be continued.
