Chapter 288: Internal and external cooperation to destroy the enemy
The Northern Barbarian King's Court. As night fell, the cold wind blew in with a solemn and murderous aura, and Hu Yanhuan's mood was as heavy as the night.
He sat in the tent, the candlelight flickering, reflecting his furrowed brow and deep eyes. The entire royal court seemed particularly peaceful in the night, but the anxiety in his heart surged like a tide.
Chagan Wuli's survival must be handled with caution. He knew that this matter must not be leaked, otherwise there would be endless trouble.
The reason why the tribal leaders still obey his plan is that they all thought Chagan Uli was killed in the battle. Once they knew that Chagan Uli was alive, it would inevitably trigger a struggle for power and might even lead to civil unrest.
At that time, the entire Northern Barbarians will not only face the threat from Lin Zhongyun, but will also be more likely to completely fall apart under this strong pressure.
However, he also understood that Chagan Uli's survival was undoubtedly a turning point.
"Since Lin Zhongyun is short of food and grass, let's use our internal and external forces to starve him to death." A bold plan gradually formed in Hu Yanhuan's mind. His thoughts began to become clear, and a glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes.
In any case, his goal was the same as that of the Khan, which was to annihilate the invading rebel army.
As long as he could join forces with the Khan, with the help of the royal court's troops and the remaining soldiers under Chagan Uli, he would be able to take the initiative in the battle and even reverse the situation.
"The Khan's current situation is not optimistic, and he needs our support." Hu Yanhuan muttered to himself, becoming more and more determined about this plan.
He knew that Chagan Uli still had prestige among the Northern Barbarians. If he could unite with him, he would surely be able to inspire more tribesmen and boost morale.
"You should find someone you trust right now to tell the Khan about the situation here." He frowned and said to Hu Yanzhong beside him. His tone was firm and his eyes revealed his unquestionable determination.
"Tell the Khan?" Hu Yanzhong was stunned when he heard this. In fact, he had a bold idea in his mind, but he had never been able to say it out loud.
His eyes wandered across Hu Yanhuan's face, as if he was weighing whether he should express his thoughts.
"General, you can..."
He was extremely conflicted. He looked up at Hu Yanhuan and the scene of Hu Yanhuan's final determination emerged in his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "In fact, now that everyone thinks that the Khan is dead, we can completely..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted coldly by Hu Yanhuan.
Huyan Zhong's heart tightened when he heard this. He slowly raised his head and saw Huyan Huan staring at him with Wu Bisheng's stern eyes, which made him feel like a thorn in his back.
He had never seen Hu Yanhuan so solemn before. He stared at him with such cold eyes, as if he was looking at an old enemy.
He felt a chill running up his spine and realized that he might have touched Hu Yanhuan's bottom line.
"Enough, I don't want to hear such words again in the future. Even if you are my father's right-hand man, I will kill you!" Hu Yanhuan's voice was like ice, and every word seemed to carry a biting chill.
Hu Yanhuan had a cold expression and turned his back so that Hu Yanhuan could not see his expression at the moment.
The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became depressing, and even the air seemed to become heavy.
In fact, he knew exactly what Huyan Zhong was thinking and what he was going to say next, but the position of Khan was not what he wanted.
The reason why he is temporarily taking over the position of Khan is entirely out of concern for the future of the Northern Barbarians, and also because there is no one available in the Northern Barbarians now.
Originally, he still had a little thought about the position of Khan in his heart. However, after a few days of coordination and hard work, he completely gave up the idea of the position of Khan.
He had long understood that the Khan not only represented the supreme power, but also the responsibility and obligation to carry on the survival of the Northern Barbarians.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and the sharpness in his eyes was slightly restrained, but still revealed firmness and majesty. "Hu Yanzhong, I know you are doing this for the good of the Northern Barbarians, but we can't abandon our principles for the sake of temporary interests.
The Khan is still alive, which is a blessing for us Northern Barbarians. What we need to do now is to unite as one, not to fight among ourselves. "
Hu Yanzhong lowered his head, a guilty look on his face. "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, General."
Hu Yanhuan sighed and softened his tone a little: "I understand your thoughts, but we must take the right path. Now, do as I say and contact the Khan as soon as possible. We need his prestige to get through this difficult time."
Hu Yanzhong nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
Since Hu Yanhuan has already said so, if he insists on his own opinion, he will only be courting death.
Hu Yanhuan looked at his back, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that this was just the beginning, and Lin Zhongyun's crazy counterattack was about to begin.
Before the storm came, their only way to win was to race against time and crush Lin Zhongyun completely before he could get support.
Thinking of this, he said to the guard beside him, "Go, ask General Hailan to come over."
Hilan Hake,
The leader of the Hailan tribe is also the most powerful tribe in the royal court.
Originally, Hailanhaq was loyal to Chagan Uli, so the important task of guarding the royal court fell on him.
However, ever since the rebel army advanced into the grassland and Chagan Uli's life or death became unknown, Hailanhak behaved uncharacteristically and showed great ambition.
In the past few days, whether he was promoting migration or organizing garrison guards, Hailanhak was always the first to stand up and oppose, and he was his biggest obstacle.
At every conference, Hailanhak relied on his seniority and qualifications to make various comments on Hu Yanhuan's actions and incite people.
Of course he also understood that after all, Hailanhak had endured for so long and finally saw an opportunity, but it was snatched away by him like this, so he would inevitably feel resentful.
He could understand this, but what he couldn't understand was that Hilanhake always contradicted him on almost everything, which made him very angry.
But he knew that Hailanhak's prestige still existed in the royal court, and if he confronted him head-on, it would affect his authority. Therefore, he could only endure and remain calm on the surface.
In fact, he had thought about pushing Hailanhak to the position of Khan. After all, Hailanhak was qualified in terms of seniority.
But the problem is that Hailanhake is totally unworthy of being promoted.
Although he was still a famous warrior on the grassland, he was too old after all. He had not seen the outside world for a long time and had no idea that the outside world had undergone earth-shaking changes. In his eyes, the iron cavalry of the northern barbarians was still invincible, and the so-called Central Plains Han people were simply vulnerable.
Even after the obvious defeat at Chagan Uli, he restrained himself somewhat, but he was always the one who wanted to confront the rebels head-on.
Just then, the guard hurried in and interrupted his confrontation. "General Hailan is here."
Hu Yanhuan suppressed his unhappiness and tried to keep a calm expression, "Please let General Hailan in!"
Outside the big tent, Hailanhak raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard this, as if he had already expected this moment.
He strode into the tent with his head held high, a confident smile on his face and a smug gleam in his eyes, as if all this was a script he had designed long ago.
"I heard that you were looking for me, nephew Huyan?" Hailanhak's voice was like a bell, loud and clear, with a hint of teasing.
He didn't care about Hu Yanhuan's identity, and even sneered. In his opinion, no matter how high Hu Yanhuan's identity was, he was just a rookie in front of him.
Hu Yanhuan was secretly unhappy, but he knew he had to stay calm at this moment. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and tried to make his voice sound calm. "Isn't General Hailan going to take the initiative to attack? Here's the chance!"
"Opportunity?" Hailanhak sneered, his eyes full of teasing, "My dear nephew, do you know how to create real opportunities? It's not about passively waiting like you are."
Hu Yanhuan's heart tightened, realizing that Hailanhak's hospitality was becoming more and more overbearing, which was clearly an attempt to put pressure on him.
He suppressed his displeasure and continued, "This time there is a chance to completely wipe out the rebel army, and General Hailan can also make further progress from this point on."
"Oh?" Hailanhak's interest was aroused. He leaned forward slightly, with a cunning light in his eyes, "Tell me, what exactly is this opportunity?"
"I think we should adopt a surprise attack strategy and attack the rebels when they are unprepared." Hu Yanhuan tried to make his voice sound firm, although he was angry at Hailanhak's attitude in his heart.
"My dear nephew, you finally figured this out!"
Upon hearing this, Hailanhak burst into laughter and looked at Hu Yanhuan with contempt, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "Migration? I think this is an extremely stupid decision."
"We should confront the enemy head-on, not run away from it."
There was an air of arrogance in his words, as if he was the real ruler of this royal court, and he could not be ignored.
At this moment, Hu Yanhuan was filled with resentment, knowing that Hailanhak's attitude at the moment was not only a provocation to him personally, but also a challenge to the decision-making power of the entire royal court. He tried to keep himself calm and try not to be overwhelmed by Hailanhak's arrogance.
"Yes, opportunities are created proactively."
He continued along the lines of Hailanhak's thoughts, trying to find a glimmer of initiative in this confrontation. "Therefore, this time I intend to send your troops to launch a surprise attack on the rebels."
"Of course I will make every possible effort to prepare a perfect gift for the rebels."
"That's natural."
Hailanhak didn't care at all. He waved his hand with a hint of pride in his eyes, "My Hailan tribe has always been strong since ancient times. Why should we be afraid of this mere volunteer army?"
"Just leave this matter to me, Hailanhak, but I don't think you would do such a thing as to pit your fellow brothers."
A cold light flashed in Hailanhak's eyes. Although he was interested in this war, he was not a reckless person.
He knew very well that there must be some unexplainable tricks behind Hu Yanhuan's sudden change of attitude. He had to be careful.
Hu Yanhuan noticed the strangeness in Hailanhak's eyes and was angry, but he still said openly, "General Hailan, I will never do anything that harms the interests of my people. We need to unite and fight against foreign enemies together."
After all, he didn't have any bad intentions, and everything he did was for the entire Northern Barbarians.
However, Hu Yanhuan knew that Hailanhak's arrogance and conceit would not allow him to trust him easily. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, he decided to take a tougher approach.
The next second he changed the subject, a gleam of brilliance flashed across his eyes, and he whispered, "But to be on the safe side, I will choose Highland Ranch as the location for this decisive battle with the rebels."
Hearing this, Hailanhak became furious.
He knew that Hu Yanhuan had no good intentions. The Hailan Ranch was the main ranch of his Hailan tribe. Once a war broke out there, his Hailan tribe would surely suffer heavy losses in this war.
The reason why he opposed all of Hu Yanhuan's actions before was because if their tribe carried out a large-scale migration, the prestige of their tribe would disappear and would no longer be the same as before.
"what are you saying?"
Hailanhak's voice was like thunder, burning with anger, as if he wanted to tear Hu Yanhuan to pieces. "You actually want to choose the battlefield in the heart of my Hailan tribe! Are you deliberately trying to make my Hailan tribe suffer losses?"
Hu Yanhuan was not frightened by Hailanhak's anger, but was secretly proud of himself.
He knew that Hailanhak's anger was part of his plan. Only by putting the interests of the Hailan tribe in a prominent position could he make Hailanhak more cautious, or even frightened to a certain extent.
"General Hailan, you must understand that we chose Hailan Ranch not to harm your tribe, but to ensure that we can fight the rebels in the most advantageous terrain."
Hu Yanhuan explained calmly, his tone revealing a hint of firmness and confidence, "The threat posed by the rebels to our Northern Barbarians cannot be underestimated. We must take advantage of the geographical advantages of Hailan Ranch to ensure victory."
"You think I will believe you?"
Hailanhak was still furious, his eyes were like knives, and he came straight at him. His voice was deep and powerful, as if it could tear the air apart, "My Hailan tribe will never become your sacrifice!"
"I never want any clan to become a victim, General Hailan."
Hu Yanhuan's voice gradually became louder, with a hint of unyielding momentum, "As the general said before, if we don't take the initiative to attack, the rebels will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to invade. Then the loss will not only be the Hailan tribe, but the future of the entire Northern Barbarians!"
"Isn't an active attack exactly what the general wants? Could it be that the general changed his attitude just because the location is at Highland Ranch?"
His voice became louder and louder, almost reaching the tent and the camp outside. "If General Hailan changes his attitude, how will the people of other tribes view him and the entire Hailan tribe?" (End of this chapter)
