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

Inside the big tent, the anger in Hailanhak's heart burned like a raging fire, and his eyes were fixed on the night sky outside the tent.

The atmosphere outside the tent became increasingly tense, and the Northern Barbarian camp was filled with a murderous atmosphere. The soldiers were ready to go, weapons in hand, ready for a bloody battle at any time.

Hailanhak knew that only by acting quickly could he break the conspiracy of Huyanhuan and Chagan Uli and fight for a glimmer of hope for himself and his Hailan tribe.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the big tent, "Report! General, the messenger sent by Hu Yanhuan came and said that he has important matters to discuss with the general. He specially invites the general to go to the main tent to discuss the plan together."

Hailanhak frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He knew very well that Hu Yanhuan's intention was not simple.

Hailan Tesh was listening with a frown on his face, looking worried. He whispered to Hailan Hak: "General, this might be a trap. Be careful."

"Who said it wasn't?" Hailanhak sighed in his heart, his brows tightly knitted together. Hu Yanhuan's sudden action made him feel extremely uneasy.

Especially since he had just learned about Chagan Uli's conspiracy, and Huyan Huan came to him right after to discuss it, it was really hard for him not to think too much.

"The timing is too coincidental, there must be some ulterior motive. But if I don't go, wouldn't it seem like I'm guilty?" Hailanhak frowned and thought to himself.

Now is the critical moment of the plan. If he backs out at this moment, all his previous efforts will be in vain. More importantly, his Hailan tribe will become the sinners of the Northern Barbarians and suffer endless curses.

At that time, Hailanhak was not only getting further and further away from the position of Khan, but he was also severely criticized. He had neither fame nor fortune and was truly penniless.

"Well, one general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of men. What's the use of the Hongmen Banquet?"

Thinking of this, Hailanhak took a deep breath and decided to step forward. He looked at Hailantaishi and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the horses. I want to go meet Hu Yanhuan."

There was a determination gleam in his eyes. Although the road ahead was full of unknowns, as a tribal general, he had to face it.

"No matter what, I have to go. This is our chance and we can't miss it." Hailanhake's words revealed an unquestionable determination.

"Yes!" Hailanhak's tone was so firm that Hailantais could only nod and agree. However, he was still worried about it. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "General, please allow me to lead a team of elite soldiers to accompany you in case of any accidents."

Hailan Hak paused for a moment and nodded in agreement. At this moment, no opportunity could be missed. Even if he knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet, he had to accept the invitation. In any case, the future of the tribe must be in his own hands.

He quickly put on his armor and straightened his clothes. He was already prepared in his heart, and then he said to Hailan Tesh in a deep voice: "Go and tell Hu Yanhuan that the general will be there immediately."

Although Hailan Tesh felt uneasy, he had no choice but to obey the general's decision. He quickly ordered his men to prepare horses and elite soldiers to prepare for any unexpected event.

The night was as dark as ink, and the camp was completely silent, with only the sound of the wind whistling in one's ears. Hailanhak rode on his warhorse, led a team of elite soldiers, and slowly marched towards Hu Yanhuan's main tent.

Along the way, his mind was full of thoughts. He was wary of Hu Yanhuan's conspiracy and was thinking about his future destiny.

Soon, they arrived at Hu Yanhuan's main tent. The lights in front of the tent were bright, and several guards respectfully welcomed them into the tent. Hailanhak looked around, secretly alert in his heart, ready to deal with any possible changes at any time.

Inside the tent, Hu Yanhuan had been waiting for a long time, with an unpredictable smile on his face, as if everything was under control. Hailanhak walked into the tent, his eyes were like torches, and he stared at Hu Yanhuan. There was an invisible contest in the air.

"General Hailan, long time no see." Hu Yanhuan spoke first, with a hint of tentativeness and provocation in his tone.

"General Huyan, what important matter do you want to discuss with me?" Hailanhak said calmly and steadily, but he was already alert in his heart.

Hu Yanhuan smiled slightly, his eyes deep, but he did not answer immediately, "I invited you here today because of a major matter concerning the safety of the border."

He paused, his eyes swept over everyone present. The atmosphere in the tent instantly became tense. He smiled and continued, "This matter is of great importance. It concerns the future of our Northern Barbarians. There must not be any mistakes."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Hailanhak sneered in his heart, but said calmly: "Since General Huyan attaches so much importance to it, I am all ears."

Hailanhak appeared calm on the surface, but he was thinking rapidly in his heart. The safety of the border was of great importance. Hu Yanhuan's words must have a deep meaning. "Since it concerns the safety of the Northern Barbarians, please let General Hu Yan speak clearly."

Hu Yanhuan's eyes narrowed, as if he was a little surprised by Hailanhak's calm attitude. The fact that he could still keep his composure now showed how cunning Hailanhak was.

It was this kind of cunning that allowed him to hide his ambitions so well over the years without being discovered. If it weren't for the rebel army this time, no one would have expected that this man who was loyal to Chagan Wuli was actually a traitor.

However, the calmer Hailanhak appeared, the more frightened he felt.

Hu Yanhuan's mind raced, but his expression remained calm as he continued, "General Hailan, do you know that Li Zhongwu of the Chadao Yi Army has already joined up with Lin Zhongyun?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the tent was shocked, and Hailanhak's heart was even more shocked. Lin Zhongyun had 40,000 to 50,000 troops under his command. If Li Zhongwu's rebel army was added, there would be at least 60,000 to 70,000 troops.

If that happened, it would not be something that his small number of men could easily handle. Hailanhak knew very well that even if he sacrificed all the people in his tribe, it would not be enough to stop such a large rebel army.

"General Huyan, are you serious?" Hailanhak asked with a hint of doubt, staring at Huyanhuan with a sharp gaze, trying to read the clues from his expression. Huyanhuan met Hailanhak's gaze and smiled calmly.
"I, Hu Yanhuan, never lie. General, you can send someone to investigate." He paused, and then said, "The situation is urgent now. If you and I can work together, we may be able to resolve this crisis."

"You don't believe my words, but do you believe the Khan's words?" Hu Yanhuan smiled faintly, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Hailanhak, "This is the Khan's handwritten letter. I believe you are more familiar with it than I am."

Chagan Wuli? Hailanhak took the letter, his eyes fell on the familiar handwriting, and his face changed several times. Although he was familiar with the handwriting on the letter, the content of the letter surprised him and he was full of contradictions.

The letter not only expressed concern about his current situation, but also hinted at his future actions.

Hailanhak's hands trembled slightly, and his eyes scanned the letter back and forth. The words hit his heart like a hammer.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, but he saw an indescribable firmness flashing in Hu Yanhuan's eyes, and that firmness made him feel a little chilly.

It was already difficult enough that Chagan Uli was alive, and now Li Zhongwu suddenly showed up, making the originally clear situation even more confusing.

Originally, he only needed to deal with Lin Zhongyun alone. However, now both Lin Zhongyun and Chagan Uli were stepping stones on his way to becoming the Great Khan. He couldn't help but feel a heavy pressure in his heart.

He knew that this game of power had become increasingly complicated, and every step had to be taken with caution. He stared at the letter, thinking about how to respond next.

Especially the fact that Chagan Uli sent a letter at this time was enough to show that Chagan Uli was ready to return, and the former king of the Northern Barbarians was about to return.

If Chagan Wuli really comes back, the situation in the Northern Barbarians will be reshuffled, and what he has done during this period will be held accountable by Chagan Wuli.

He knew very well that he could not just sit there and wait for death. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he secretly planned in his mind that he must strike first in order to gain the upper hand in this power game.

But before that, he needed to ensure that the troops at his disposal were strong enough to resist the counterattack from Chagan Uli.

And until now he still didn't know the real purpose of Hu Yanhuan inviting him here. Was it just to tell him the news?
Hailanhak was full of doubts. Although Huyanhuan was a rookie, his methods and wisdom were far superior to those of his peers.

Especially in the matter of Chagan Uli, if his men had not intercepted Chagan Uli's envoy by chance, he would probably still be kept in the dark and become a pawn in Huyanhuan's hands.

On the surface, Hu Yanhuan invited him just to deliver the Khan's letter, but Hailanhak knew that it was not that simple. What did Hu Yanhuan want to do? Was there a deeper plot behind his back?
The candlelight in the tent flickered gently, shining on Hu Yanhuan's face, as if casting a mysterious veil on his face that always had a faint smile on it.

Hailanhak remained calm but was thinking rapidly in his mind, trying to grasp Hu Yanhuan's true intention from the conversation just now.

Hu Yanhuan's eyes inadvertently swept over Hailanhak, as if observing his reaction.

The two of them had their own thoughts in their minds, and the air in the tent seemed to be stagnant and suffocating. Hailanhak knew that he had to be careful in dealing with it, otherwise he might fall into the other party's trap.

Perhaps Hu Yanhuan wanted to take this opportunity to test his attitude and see his true reaction to Chagan Uli's return. Or, was he intentionally leaking the news to him so that he would lose his composure? For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but no matter which possibility it was, Hailanhak had to remain vigilant and not easily reveal his trump card.

After a moment of silence, Hailanhak decided to test Hu Yanhuan's attitude. He spoke slowly, with a hint of inquiry in his tone: "General Hu Yan, in addition to this letter, do you have anything else to discuss with me?"

Hu Yanhuan smiled slightly, with a meaningful light flashing in his eyes, "It's nothing, but now with the addition of Li Zhongwu, the rebel army has become more difficult to deal with, so I came here to discuss the next plan with the general."

Hailanhak's heart trembled. It seemed that Hu Yanhuan had other intentions, but he was just unwilling to say it for the time being. He was secretly alert and knew that he had to be more careful to avoid being led by the other party.

"Oh, plan? General Huyan is most familiar with the rebel army. How do you think we should deal with it?" Hailanhak smiled indifferently, his face expressionless, but he had already begun to plan the next countermeasures in his mind.

He threw the question back to Hu Yanhuan, wanting to see what Hu Yanhuan was up to.

Hu Yanhuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he showed a playful smile, as if he had expected Hailanhak's reaction. He said softly: "General Hailan is indeed calm, but I do have an immature idea. I wonder what the general thinks."

Hailanhak's heart moved, knowing that Hu Yanhuan was finally about to reveal some clues, so he calmly signaled him to continue.

"The original plan was for the general's troops to face off against the rebels. But now the rebels' strength has changed dramatically. If the general's troops still confront the rebels head-on, I'm afraid they will suffer heavy losses." Hu Yanhuan said slowly, with a shrewd look in his eyes.

"Neither the Khan nor I want to see this."

At this point, he glanced at Hailanhak and continued, "So the Khan has decided that he will personally lead his troops to confront the rebels head-on, and the general's troops will need to take over my original action and stop the rebels from escaping here."

As he spoke, he pointed to the location on the map. Originally, his name, Hu Yanhuan, appeared at that location.

Hailanhake looked in the direction where his finger pointed and saw that the location marked on the map was one of the possible retreat routes for the rebels.

He was slightly shocked, knowing that this was a critical task. If he could successfully cut off the rebels' retreat, it would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the entire battle situation.

Moreover, compared with confronting the rebels head-on, this mission was not risky at all. However, he did not believe that Hu Yanhuan would give him this good mission.

You know, Chagan Uli was thinking about settling accounts with him before, so why did he suddenly change his attitude now? There must be something fishy going on.

Hailanhak was full of doubts. Hu Yanhuan was always good at calculating. He would not give up such a key task for no reason. Perhaps there was a deeper conspiracy behind this, or it was just a trap.

However, just as Hu Yanhuan said, the reunion of Li Zhongwu and Lin Zhongyun has brought about a huge change in the situation on the front. If he does not accept Hu Yanhuan's "good intentions", he will also suffer heavy losses.

It is even possible that the losses caused by confronting the rebels head-on would be much greater than the losses caused by him blocking the rebels' retreat. (End of this chapter)
