After listening to the advice, I rebelled and became an emperor of all ages

The atmosphere in the royal court was solemn.

Hailanhak's face became more and more ugly. He was shocked by Hu Yanhuan's words. At this moment, his heart was surging like a storm, with a myriad of thoughts.

If he retreated at this time, he would not only be regarded as a coward, but it might also shake the prestige of the Hailan tribe among the northern barbarians.

Hailanhak knew that the Hailan tribe had always been known for its bravery, and if he was labeled a coward, the consequences would be disastrous.

"This kid is really abominable."

He cursed in his heart, his eyes swept over Hu Yanhuan, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Hu Yanhuan's few words pushed him into a desperate situation, leaving him unable to refute.

Of course he could object and ask why their Hailan tribe had to pay such a huge price this time.

However, will the other tribal leaders see this? Will the tens of thousands of warriors of the Northern Barbarians see this?
All they would see was that Hailanhak, in order to protect the interests of his own tribe, disregarded the life and death of the entire Northern Barbarians. He was a coward, a person who only cared about immediate interests and ignored the overall situation.

He knew in his heart that if he refused at this time, once rumors spread, the reputation of the Hailan tribe would plummet.

Among the northern barbarians, incompetence is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is to be labeled a "coward". If that happens, you will be ostracized wherever you go.

At that time, what would it matter even if his Hailan tribe retained a large amount of power?

The people will lose their support, and in the end his Hailan tribe may even end up being criminals of the northern barbarians and be expelled.

This kind of consequence is something that Hailanhak and even the entire Hailan tribe cannot bear in any way.

At this moment, he was extremely conflicted and caught in a dilemma.

On the one hand, he wanted to safeguard the interests of his own tribe and did not want to let Hailan Ranch become a battlefield; on the other hand, he did not want to be branded as a coward and destroy the prestige of the Hailan tribe.

"Should I really compromise?" Hailanhak asked himself, his pride and reason colliding violently.

He was unwilling to be led by Hu Yanhuan, but the current situation left him with no choice.

Hu Yanhuan looked at Hailanhak quietly, knowing that he had the upper hand. He knew that Hailanhak's hesitation and entanglement at the moment was exactly what he wanted to see. As long as Hailanhak could compromise, his plan could be implemented smoothly.

Of course, what he hoped for was only Hailanhak's compromise, rather than forcing Hailanhak into a desperate situation and forcing the Hailan tribe away.

After all, no matter how reluctant he was, the power of Hailanhak's tribe was still crucial to the current royal court.

"General Hailan, you are a hero of the Northern Barbarians. Your decision will affect the future of the entire Northern Barbarians." Hu Yanhuan spoke at the right time, with a hint of sincerity in his tone, "I believe that you will definitely make the most beneficial choice for the entire Northern Barbarians."

When Hailanhak heard this, he was touched and began to recall the glorious history of the Hailan tribe. The glory and pride of the past emerged in his mind one by one. He did not want his decision to become a stain in the history of the tribe, and he did not want to become a coward despised by future generations.

Hu Yanhuan's words were like a sharp blade, piercing through his inner defenses. Yes, he was the hero of the Northern Barbarians, and his decision would affect the future of the entire Northern Barbarians.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Hailanhak finally made up his mind.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, with a gleam of determination in his eyes. "Okay, Hu Yanhuan, I agree with your plan. But I hope you can fulfill your promise and ensure the safety of Hailan Ranch."

But when he said this, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

He knew in his heart that even though he agreed to Hu Yanhuan's plan on the surface, he would never take it lightly. He had to remain vigilant at all times to ensure that the interests of the Hailan tribe were not harmed.

Hu Yanhuan was delighted, knowing that he had finally convinced Hailanhak.

He bowed slightly, a hint of gratitude in his tone: "Thank you General Hailan for your trust. I will do my best to ensure the safety of the Hailan tribe."

……

When Hailanhak came out of the big tent, the surrounding tribesmen all looked at him strangely.

Despite how noisy the camp was, they still heard Hu Yanhuan's loud shout. Although they didn't hear it all, they could still make out some clues.

There was a tense and curious atmosphere in the air, as if everyone was waiting for Hailanhak's reaction.

Feeling the strange looks from the people around him, Hailanhak sneered in his heart, fortunately he did not directly reject Hu Yanhuan just now.

Otherwise, he would be criticized behind his back when he walked out of the royal court today.

He glanced around expressionlessly, his eyes revealing a hint of majesty that made those who were whispering lower their heads involuntarily.

However, even if he agreed to Hu Yanhuan, it did not mean that he would completely ignore the Hailan tribe.

He had already been thinking about how to maximize the benefits for his tribe in the upcoming war. He knew that this was a dangerous game full of opportunities.

As the night deepened, Hailanhak stood alone outside the tent, gazing at the starry sky in the distance.

Although he was very angry at Hu Yanhuan's intimidation this time, he also understood that this was a great opportunity for the Hailan tribe.

If he could win this war, the prestige of his Hailan tribe among the northern barbarians would be raised to a higher level, and at that time the position of Khan would be within his grasp.

A glimmer of ambition flashed in his eyes. In the past, he had always been suppressed by Chagan Wuli, but this time, the uncertainty of Chagan Wuli's life or death gave him hope.

No matter what, he, Hailanhak, and the Hailan tribe must seize this opportunity.

At this moment, his deputy general Hailan Tesh came to his side and whispered: "Chief, we just learned shocking news."

“Shocking news?”

Hailanhak was startled. At this moment, no news was as great as his ambition. He turned around and stared at Hailantais with a sharp gaze.

"Yes, there are people coming from the North."

Hailantaishi was excited, with a ruthless look in his eyes, and said, "Just now I saw Hu Yanzhong sneakily sending someone away, so I suspected that he had something to hide. So I intercepted that person, and guess what happened?"

Hailanhak glanced at Hailantes and said unhappily, "If you have something to say, come on." In fact, he had already begun to guess various possibilities in his mind, each of which could have a significant impact on his plan.

Hailantaishi chuckled and said maliciously: "The Khan is still alive. Do you think this news is shocking?"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, instantly hitting Hailanhak. His pupils suddenly contracted, and the expression on his face froze instantly.

Chagan Wuli is still alive? This news was both a surprise and a shock to him.

"Are you sure the news is true?" Hailanhak asked in a low voice, afraid of being heard by others.

Hailan Tesh nodded, "It's absolutely true. The messenger was interrogated by us thoroughly, and it can't be false."

Hailanhak's mind was working rapidly, weighing the impact of this news. If Chagan Wuli was still alive, the situation would become more complicated. His original plan might need to be readjusted.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness and fear.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and then slowly asked, "What is Chagan Uli's current situation? How many people does the Khan have under his command now? Why did he send someone here this time?"

Hailan Tesh saw the leader's worry and answered cautiously: "According to the messenger, although the Khan was seriously injured, he is no longer in danger of death.

He is currently recuperating in a secret camp on the grassland, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers with him. As for the purpose of sending people here, it seems to be to contact the various tribes and prepare to regroup their forces to attack the rebels from both sides. "

Hearing this news, Hailanhak's face became even more solemn. Now that Chagan Wuli was still alive, the impact on him was not just as simple as changing his original plan, but more importantly, it poured cold water on his ambitions.

The reason why he started to think about the position of Khan again was because Chagan Uli's life or death was uncertain, Huyanhuan did not have enough backup and his foundation was insufficient.

But now Chagan Uli is still alive, and the situation has become confusing.

Hailanhak began to pace back and forth in the tent, constantly recalling the past events when Chagan Uli led the Northern Barbarians.

He clearly remembered that whenever Chagan Wuli issued an order, the entire northern barbarian would be shaken. That kind of prestige and influence was unmatched by anyone else.

He believed that as long as Chagan Wuli was willing to raise his hand, most of the tribes in the Northern Barbarians would follow Chagan Wuli, and his plan would be ruined.

"Leader" Hailan Tesh carefully interrupted Hailanhak's thoughts and said, "Should we take the initiative while Chagan Wuli hasn't fully recovered yet?"

Hailanhak shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You don't understand. Chagan Wuli's influence cannot be eliminated by force.

Even if we can get rid of him now, we will immediately become the target of public criticism. Although our Hailan tribe is not weak, it is far from enough to fight against the crowd alone."

He walked to the entrance of the tent, looked at the bonfire in the distance, and continued, "Chagan Wuli has been in power for many years and has already planted countless hidden stakes in various tribes.

If we act rashly, it will likely lead to greater unrest. Not only will we lose the chance to become the Great Khan, but even the survival of the Hailan tribe will be threatened."

After hearing this, Hailan Tesh also fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked, "So what should we do now?"

Hailanhak took a deep breath, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "We must be more cautious and patient. Since Chagan Uli is still alive, we must readjust our strategy. We must show that we are more loyal than anyone else, and at the same time secretly observe the changes in the situation."

He turned to face Hailan Tesh and said solemnly: "Remember, we must proceed cautiously until Chagan Wuli's influence disappears completely.

Immediately send someone to closely monitor anyone who comes into contact with Hu Yanhuan. I want to know the movements of my good nephew at all times."

Hailan Tesh nodded respectfully. As the night deepened, the bonfire outside the tent gradually died out, but a new ambition ignited in Hailan Hak's heart.

……

At the same time, Li Zhongwu, who was preparing to advance into the grassland, was also looking forward to Lin Zhongyun's letter.

The night enveloped the military camp. Li Zhongwu stood outside the tent, looking out at the grasslands in the north. He felt extremely anxious.

Now he didn't know whether to go back to suppress the rebellion in Yangzhou or continue to go deep into the country to destroy the Northern Barbarians. He didn't dare to make a decision until he got Lin Zhongyun's order.

Li Zhongwu recalled the battles of the past few months with mixed feelings. They had already achieved a considerable victory, the main force of the Northern Barbarians had been defeated, and the defense line had completely collapsed.

Logically speaking, this should have been a perfect opportunity to destroy the Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop.

However, the rebellion in Yangzhou disrupted all their plans. If this kind of thing had not happened, he would not have fallen into the dilemma he is in now.

Yangzhou is the arsenal of the world's weapons.

Once Yangzhou is occupied by those aristocratic families, it will cause great damage to his rebel army from which it will be difficult to recover, and it will also give the forces in other states and counties that are ready to make moves an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"General," a personal soldier approached cautiously, interrupting Li Zhongwu's thoughts, "The spies have returned. Do you want to call the generals to discuss it?"

Li Zhongwu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No hurry, wait until His Highness's letter arrives."

After the guards withdrew, Li Zhongwu walked back to the tent. The map spread out on the table caught his attention. He walked closer to take a closer look, moving his finger back and forth between the northern barbarian hinterland and Yangzhou.

"If we withdraw our troops and return to defend, all our efforts in Beiman may be wasted." He muttered to himself, "But if we continue to advance northward, once Yangzhou is lost, the consequences will be disastrous."

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent. A messenger ran in, panting and saying, "General, the letter from His Highness has arrived!"

Li Zhongwu stood up suddenly and took the letter. His hands trembled slightly. This letter not only concerned the direction of the army, but also the future direction of the rebel army.

He took a deep breath and opened the envelope. As he read, his expression gradually became solemn. After a moment, he raised his head with a firm look.

"Pass the order down," Li Zhongwu said in a deep voice, "Call all the generals and come to the big tent to discuss the matter immediately."

The messenger took the order and left. Li Zhongwu looked at the letter in his hand again, with a complicated look in his eyes.

No matter what Lin Zhongyun's order was, he knew that the next decision would affect the fate of countless people.

But no matter what, he would absolutely obey Lin Zhongyun's orders. He believed that Lin Zhongyun had been able to lead them to overthrow Daqian before, so he would definitely be able to do it this time. (End of this chapter)
