After listening to the advice, I rebelled and became an emperor of all ages
Chapter 290: Northern Barbarians’ Trap, Attacking from Front and Back
On the grassland, the cold wind is bleak.
As night falls, the moonlight sprinkles on the endless grassland like water, illuminating a silver-white world.
Chagan Uli stood outside the tent, wearing a thick fur coat, gazing into the distance with a serious expression.
The spies he sent out were searching for the rebels on the grassland. After many days of efforts, they finally got some clues.
Now that they have a preliminary grasp of the rebel army's movements, Chagan Uli knows that the decisive moment is about to come.
"Based on observations of their reserves, they can only hold out for two or three days at most, Khan." The deputy general at the side reported respectfully, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
The rebels' food and fodder reserves were almost exhausted, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
After listening to this, Chagan Wuli nodded slightly, but his face did not show any smugness. His eyes passed the camp in front of him and looked towards the direction of the royal court in the distance.
"Khan, should we send troops immediately and seize the opportunity to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop?" A trusted general stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
Two days had passed since the rebel army approached the grassland. During this period, the rebel army had consumed a large amount of food and fodder, but the longer it dragged on, the greater the risk.
After all, it won’t be long before the rebels who are cleaning up the mess in the North will come to support us.
By that time, even if they relied on their familiarity with the terrain, they would not be able to deal with the huge army of rebels.
Chagan Uli did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.
He naturally knew that although the rebels were short of food and grass, now was the perfect time to attack. If they continued to delay, it would only lead to more trouble.
However, now he still has to wait, waiting for a foolproof opportunity.
"Pass the order down," he finally said, his voice low and firm, "Continue to monitor the movements of the rebels and do not act rashly. At the same time, strengthen contact with the surrounding tribes to ensure that there is no worry in the rear."
The generals took the order and left, but Chagan Wuli stood still for a long time. He knew in his heart that this war was not only about the survival of the Northern Barbarians, but also about the future of the entire grassland.
"Just wait for the east wind." He murmured to himself, with a glimmer of determination in his eyes.
After experiencing all these ups and downs, he knew that the key to victory was not only fighting on the battlefield, but also grasping the timing. In this vast grassland, patience and wisdom are equally important.
The night wind was getting colder, but Chagan Wuli didn't feel the slightest bit of chill. He slowly turned around and returned to the tent, continuing to plan his next move.
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will defend his tribe and beliefs at all costs.
When he returned to the big tent, he looked up and saw the scout he had sent out earlier kneeling on the ground.
"How is it? What's the situation in the royal court?" His heart suddenly tightened and he asked quickly.
The scout tremblingly took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Chagan Wuli, looking a little flustered. "Your Highness, General Huyanhuan, son of General Huyanleng, is currently in charge of the overall situation in the royal court. He has already relocated a lot of tribes and is fully prepared."
Chagan Uli took the letter and quickly began to read it.
In the letter, Hu Yanhuan described in detail his arrangements at the royal court and proposed a bold plan - to set up an ambush at Hailan Ranch, attack the rebel army from both sides, and put Lin Zhongyun to death.
"Good good!"
After seeing the contents of the letter, Chagan Wuli was overjoyed, and a smile finally appeared on his bitter face. "It is true that a tiger father will have a dog son. This Hu Yanhuan can really stand on his own."
He couldn't help but think of General Hu Yanleng, the veteran general who had been on many battlefields and was both wise and brave. He and Hu Yanleng had known each other for many years and they had a deep trust and tacit understanding.
He already knew about everything Hu Yanhuan had done. After all, Hu Yanleng had sent someone to tell him the military advisor's plan long ago.
Originally, he thought that doing so was a bit of an overreaction. After all, although the rebel army was strong, the northern barbarians still had the geographical advantage on the grassland. Even if the rebel army was brave, they would not dare to advance into the grassland rashly.
However, as the situation developed, he had to admit that the military advisor was far-sighted. Now, Hu Yanleng's son Hu Yanhuan also showed extraordinary talent and courage, which made him feel gratified.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sad again.
If the military advisor could still be by his side to give him advice at this time, this grassland would probably have been the place where Lin Zhongyun died, and it would not have dragged on until now.
He closed his eyes, as if he was back in the days when he fought side by side with his military advisor. The military advisor could always come up with unique insights at critical moments to help him resolve crises.
Now, having lost the assistance of his military advisor, he felt more lonely and helpless than ever before.
As for the current situation in the royal court, he also understood it. It was already very good that the young Hu Yanhuan could suppress everyone and coordinate all things in an orderly manner. Chagan Wuli was secretly pleased in his heart. Hu Yanhuan's growth gave him hope.
What is the so-called usurpation and overstepping of authority?
He didn't care at all. As long as someone could lead the Northern Barbarians out of danger, he would be willing to give up the position of Khan.
However, the mention of Hailanhak in the letter made him feel nervous.
Hu Yanhuan wrote clearly about the grievances between him and Hailanhak in the letter. Chagan Uli could not help but snort coldly, and a chill passed through him. "This Hailanhak is really old and confused!"
He was furious, thinking about his trust and trust in Hailanhak. The old man was loyal to him when he was in the royal court, and he always followed his orders.
It was because of this that he dared to entrust him with the important task of protecting the royal court. He did not expect that he would now help the tyrant.
"What's hateful is," Chagan Wuli gritted his teeth, "At this critical moment for the survival of the Northern Barbarians, this old guy actually still cares about his own interests. This is simply unforgivable!"
This was what he could not accept the most. If the entire Northern Barbarians were really dragged into a desperate situation because of the Hailan tribe, he would never forgive Hailan Hake.
However, compared with the anger towards Hailanhak, dealing with the rebels is obviously more important at the moment.
He walked to a corner of the tent, where a grassland map was hung with important strategic locations marked on it.
His fingers gently ran over the location of Hailan Ranch, and he began to think about how to put Hu Yanhuan's plan into practice.
Highland Ranch is open and surrounded by several natural barriers, making it an ideal location for an ambush.
Chagan Wuli thought to himself that he had to lure the rebels into this area, and then attack them from both sides to completely annihilate them. "Pass the order down, tell all units to be ready and on standby at any time." Chagan Wuli turned to his trusted men and said, "At the same time, keep a close eye on the movements of the rebels, and report back immediately if you find anything unusual."
The confidant took the order and left, and Chagan Uli paced in the tent, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He understood that the success or failure of this operation not only affected the fate of the Northern Barbarians, but also his personal honor and disgrace. As the Khan, he knew that every decision he made would affect the future of the entire tribe, and the slightest mistake could lead to irreversible consequences.
No matter what, he will do his best to fight for a bright future for the tribe.
"Lin Zhongyun, Li Zhongwu," Chagan Wuli muttered to himself, with a glimmer of determination in his eyes, "This time, I will never let you escape so easily again."
He looked up at the sky outside the tent. Under the dim moonlight, the night was about to pass.
"It's a new day!"
He felt a sense of emotion in his heart. A new day meant that they lost another day, and they had one less day left.
As time goes by, the threat of the rebels becomes more imminent, and action must be taken quickly.
"I can't wait any longer, I have to strike first!" Chagan Wuli said to himself, a sense of urgency flooding his mind. He knew that only by taking decisive action could he break the current deadlock and gain the initiative.
At this time, even though he felt a little nervous, he was more determined to meet the challenge.
He took a deep breath, his eyes were like torches, and he said firmly to his trusted confidant: "Come here, reply to Hu Yanhuan immediately. We will attack Lin Zhongyun from both sides at Hailan Ranch. The sooner the better."
As the order was issued, he felt a sense of relief. Although the road ahead was unknown, he had made up his mind to face any difficulties head-on and fight for the future of the Northern Barbarians.
……
At this time, Lin Zhongyun, whom Chagan Uli had been thinking about, had already led his troops deep into the grassland and was now located on the largest grassland.
The bonfire flickered, and the crackling sound was accompanied by sparks, reflecting Lin Zhongyun's resolute face.
Lin Zhongyun sat in front of the fire, his eyes deep, recalling what he had gained in the past few days.
Since they had determined the direction and embarked on this journey, although they had not encountered the main force of the Northern Barbarians for several days, they encountered groups of fleeing refugees along the way.
The existence of these refugees is like a mirror, reflecting the turmoil and unrest in the Northern Barbarian King's court.
Their escape proved that the Northern Barbarians' royal court was already in danger, and they were getting closer and closer to the Northern Barbarians' royal court and the Northern Barbarians' migration point.
As long as they can destroy the royal court of the Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop, they will be able to completely resolve the misfortune that has been lingering over their heads in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and from then on they will no longer have to suffer the threat of the Northern Barbarians.
Although the Northern Barbarians retreated like an autumn wind and did not leave them any food, their panic also provided them with an opportunity.
Although the shortage of food and grass once made him anxious, this sense of urgency gradually subsided as time went on. The river had long thawed, and they could barely make a living by relying on the few fish they caught.
"We are getting closer and closer to the center of the Northern Barbarians. It won't take much time at all." Lin Zhongyun thought to himself that his persistence and patience during these days were all for the upcoming victory.
His gaze turned into the distance, as if he had already seen the collapse and fall of the Northern Barbarian King's Court.
On the other hand, the content of Li Zhongwu's letter also made him feel relieved. The letter mentioned that the rebels were coordinating supplies in the rear, and although the temporary shortage made them experience some difficulties, they would soon receive new food and grass, which made him no longer worry about the current predicament.
"As long as we persist, victory is just around the corner." Lin Zhongyun clenched his fists, his heart full of fighting spirit. He knew that every minute and every second was working towards that greater goal.
At this moment, Yuan Jingxin walked up quickly with an excitement that was hard to conceal on his face. It was obvious that he had important news to report.
"Your Highness, we just captured a lone Northern Barbarian soldier. According to what he revealed, his tribe is migrating to Hailan Ranch." Yuan Jingxin said excitedly.
When Lin Zhongyun heard this, his heart was shocked and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Hai Lan Ranch?" He repeated the name in a low voice, and quickly sketched a map of the grassland in his mind. Hai Lan Ranch has a wide terrain, abundant water and grass, and is indeed an ideal gathering place.
"I guess this Hailan Ranch is the location of their largest migration." Yuan Jingxin continued, with a certainty in his tone.
Lin Zhongyun nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly his mind became clear. No wonder there were more and more refugees recently, it turned out that the northern barbarians were gathering at Hailan Ranch.
All this proves that they are getting closer and closer to the main force of the Northern Barbarians.
"This also explains why the number of refugees has increased sharply." Lin Zhongyun said in a deep voice, his thoughts working rapidly.
The current intelligence is undoubtedly a major breakthrough, which means that they have finally found the trace of the main force of the Northern Barbarians.
He was just thinking that it would not take long to find the main force of the Northern Barbarians, but now he immediately found the clue, which was undoubtedly a huge encouragement.
A sense of pride rose in Lin Zhongyun's heart, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
He walked quickly to the center of the tent, where a crude topographic map was placed. The map marked various important locations on the grassland, and the name "Hai Lan Ranch" was particularly eye-catching at this moment.
He circled "Hai Lan Ranch" with all his strength, as if this would lock the target firmly.
"How far are we from Hailan Ranch now?" Lin Zhongyun turned around and asked, his tone full of anxiety and anticipation.
Yuan Jingxin thought for a moment, and quickly calculated the route and time of the march in his mind. "It will take about a day to get to Hailan Ranch from here." He answered carefully, trying to give an accurate estimate.
"Okay! Send out scouts immediately to closely monitor the movements of Highland Ranch."
Lin Zhongyun gave the order decisively, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that the opportunity was fleeting and he had to act quickly to deliver a fatal blow before the enemy could react.
"Order all other cavalrymen to come back, we will set out immediately!" Lin Zhongyun continued to issue orders, his tone full of unquestionable power.
He knew that every minute and every second was crucial at this moment, and he had to gather his troops as quickly as possible and march towards Highland Ranch.
Following Lin Zhongyun's order, the rebel army rushed towards the direction of Hailan Ranch like an arrow from a bow. (End of this chapter)
