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

Chapter 300: Hypocrisy, Hailanhak's determination
Inside the big tent, as the candlelight flickered, Hailanhak's expression became particularly solemn.

He weighed the pros and cons in his mind and knew the importance of this decision. Even at this moment, he didn't know what to do to make the right decision.

At this moment, he was wavering in his mind as to whether to confront Lin Zhongyun's rebel army head-on, or to take the less risky option of cutting off the rebel army's retreat.

Time was as ruthless as flowing water, the night was getting darker, and he had to make a choice. Hailanhak clenched his fists, thinking about a thousand things. He knew that every decision could change the situation of the war, and perhaps determine the survival of the tribe.

Whenever he thought of the momentum of the rebel army and Li Zhongwu's joining, he couldn't help feeling anxious and oppressed.

However, the situation was urgent and there was no time for him to hesitate. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he tried to calm himself down.

He raised his head and glanced at Hu Yanhuan, who was smiling as if he had the situation in control, and tried to see some clues in his eyes.

However, to his disappointment, Hu Yanhuan's eyes were as deep as an ancient well, calm and there was not a trace of ripples in his eyes.

He could only rely on his own judgment and look for answers in silence.

The sound of the wind outside the tent was like a war drum, urging him to make a decision, a decision that would lead the tribe to victory.

"Could it be that Hu Yanhuan is really so kind?" A sense of uneasiness welled up in Hailanhak's heart, but he understood that at this moment, any hesitation might lead to a complete loss.

His heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer. Anxiety and uneasiness were intertwined, as if an invisible hand was constantly strangling his throat.

Hu Yanhuan looked at Hailanhak, who had a conflicted expression on his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was enjoying Hailanhak's hesitation.

He knew that Hailanhak was not so easy to fool and would not fall into the trap he set so easily.

But he was not in a hurry, because no matter what choice Hailanhak made, it didn't matter. Because he had already laid out a series of tricks, no matter which direction Hailanhak went, he would fall into his chess game.

The wind outside the tent grew stronger, as if foreshadowing an impending storm. Hailanhak pursed his lips, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

He closed his eyes, trying to put aside the doubts and fears in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were as sharp as torches, and he uttered a few words resolutely: "Pass the order down, I choose to confront the rebels head-on!"

The atmosphere in the tent was frozen and the generals looked at each other. No one expected that Hailanhak would make such a decision.

Everyone looked at Hailanhak in great surprise, but Hailanhak's voice was firm and unquestionable, and he didn't sound like a joke at all.

Everyone understands that with the reinforcement of Li Zhongwu, the combat power and manpower of the rebel army are no longer what they used to be. A head-on confrontation with the rebel army would be an imaginably brutal battle no matter what.

By doing this, isn't Hailanhak jumping into the fire pit?
At this time, even Hailan Tesh, who had always been loyal to Hailanhak, couldn't help but cast a puzzled, shocked and angry look at Hailanhak.

He looked anxious, and could not help but take a step forward and said anxiously, "Sir, this move may be too dangerous. Should we consider it in the long run?"

But Hailanhak just smiled indifferently, and there was an unquestionable determination in that smile, which made Hailantaish swallow his words back into his stomach.

"Tish, I know what you are thinking," Hailanhak said in a deep voice, "but this is a decision I made after careful consideration. Who do you think I am, Hailanhak?"

"I am a member of Hailanhak's tribe, and a general of the Northern Barbarians!"

Hailanhak's expression became extremely resolute at this moment, and his words were mixed with a strong sense of pride.

"Even if it's a dangerous place, I have to go there!" His voice echoed in the tent, revealing an unquestionable determination. "Am I, Hailanhak, the kind of person who is afraid of death?"

At this point, he slowly raised his head, his eyes full of determination, and said to Hu Yanhuan: "Nephew Hu Yan, I have offended you before, but it was all for the Northern Barbarians. I was afraid that the Northern Barbarians would be defeated by you."

"Now, I will face the enemy head-on, not only for the glory of the Northern Barbarians, but also to prove my determination. This battle may be dangerous, but I am confident that I can lead my people out of a path to survival!" As he spoke, Hailanhak's eyes were like a sharp blade, pointing directly outside the tent, as if he had already seen the future battlefield.

After Hailanhak finished speaking, the tent remained silent, but there seemed to be an unspeakable power hidden in that silence.

The wind outside the tent seemed to sense this power as well, roaring and stirring up a violent wave.

Hailanhak's words stirred Hailantash's heart like morning bells and evening drums, and his expression became extremely complicated.

He slowly raised his head to look at this adult who was so ambitious before he came, but now acted so fearless and resolute, he was like two completely different people.

For a moment, he thought he had mistaken someone.

Although Hailantaish's heart was in turmoil and he was still suspicious of Hailanhak's sudden change of nature, since Hailanhak said so, he didn't need to say anything more.

The inner struggle made him feel an indescribable complex emotion, including admiration for Hailanhak and deep worry about the future.

In fact, Hu Yanhuan also had the same doubts.

Looking at the determined Hailanhak in front of him, he felt a little dazed for a moment. Is this still the arrogant and rude Hailanhak who always opposed him?
He originally thought that according to Hailanhak's unwillingness to suffer loss, he would never take risks easily even if he had to make a decision. Unexpectedly, he chose to confront the rebels head-on, which was the most risky decision.

Today's Hailanhak forces him to re-evaluate.

He was somewhat surprised by Hailanhak's decision, and he suddenly felt a sense of respect for him.

But while feeling respectful, he also felt a chill in his heart. This was most likely Hailanhak's hypocrisy.

However, at this moment, Hailanhak exuded the kind of heroism and determination.

Especially Hailanhak's gaze made him unable to question. It was a gaze burning with faith that was irresistible.

But then, he gradually felt relieved.

Now none of this matters anymore. No matter which path Hailanhak chooses, there is a big gift waiting for him that he has prepared long ago.

Even if Hailanhak's current appearance is a true prodigal son who has truly changed his mind, it can't change anything. As early as the moment when Hailanhak planted ambitions and desires in his heart, his fate was actually doomed, and he was destined to be liquidated and die.

No matter whether it was Hu Yanhuan, the Khan, or someone else who chopped off his head in the end, it would not change the fate that had already been determined.

"And I, Hu Yanhuan, will be the one who adds fuel to the flames and makes his ambitions come to nothing." Hu Yanhuan sneered in his heart, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his calm, waiting for the coming storm.

"That's great!" Hu Yanhuan finally spoke, his voice low and firm, his eyes like sharp arrows, pointing directly at Hailanhak's chest.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he knew that all these doubts had to be put aside for the time being because the war was imminent.

"General Hailan is indeed still strong despite his old age!" Hu Yanhuan smiled slightly, seemingly concerned on the surface, but actually hiding something mysterious.

There was a hint of sinisterness in his smile, as if hinting at his true intentions towards Hailanhak. "No matter what, the Northern Barbarians will never forget the sacrifice of General Hailan and the Hailan tribe."

When Hailanhak heard this, he was slightly shocked. He knew that Hu Yanhuan was not a good person, and the concern in his words was just a sword hidden in the shadows.

He was secretly alert, but remained calm on the surface, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. That smile was filled with confidence and composure, as if he had put life and death aside.

"In that case, I can safely leave the front battlefield to the general!" There was an unquestionable authority in Hu Yanhuan's tone, as if he had already decided Hailanhak's fate in his heart.

"Nephew Huyan, just leave it to Hailanhak!" He patted his chest with his big hand and said with a solemn oath, "Then please forgive my mistakes and write off all the previous grudges."

"Of course," Hu Yanhuan's smile deepened, with a sly look in his eyes, "General Hailan's courage and determination are exactly what we Northern Barbarians need. I hope that in this battle, I can see you lead the tribe to create a glorious moment."

Hailanhak nodded, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He knew that every word of Hu Yanhuan might hide a conspiracy, and whether his decisiveness at this moment would become a pawn in others' calculations was still unknown.

"I will try my best and will never let down the expectations of the Northern Barbarians!" Hailanhak's voice was sonorous and powerful, as if he wanted to convey his inner determination to everyone around him.

His determination became extremely clear at this moment. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he knew that only by meeting the challenge could he fight for a chance of survival for the tribe.

Hu Yanhuan smiled slightly, feeling secretly proud in his heart. In his eyes, Hailanhak in front of him was just a chess piece that was about to be pushed into the abyss.

He had already laid layers of traps, and no matter what choice Hailanhak made, the final result would be something he could not imagine.

"So, General Hailan, how do you plan to arrange the next battle?" Hu Yanhuan pretended to be concerned, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

Hailanhak's heart tightened, realizing that he needed to come up with a thorough plan as soon as possible. He pointed to the map and whispered, "First, we need to confirm the movements of the rebels, especially Lin Zhongyun's troops. Second, I will send out scouts to ensure that we can keep abreast of the enemy's movements."

"Very good!" Hu Yanhuan nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "General Hailan's thinking is indeed clear. However, I suggest that when you arrange the battle array, you'd better consider how to deal with possible surprise attacks. After all, the rebels are always cunning."

Hailanhak's heart moved, realizing that although Hu Yanhuan's suggestion was out of concern, the implication in it could not be ignored. He smiled slightly, but in his heart he had already begun to secretly calculate how to protect himself and the tribe in this battle.

"I will keep in mind the teachings of my nephew Huyan and make sure everything is safe." Hailanhak's words revealed a hint of determination, and he silently swore in his heart that no matter what happened next, he would go all out to defend his choice and the future of the tribe.

As time went by, the wind outside the tent became stronger and stronger, as if warming up for the upcoming battle.

In this strong wind, the confrontation between Hailanhaq and Huyanhuan became increasingly clear. Each other's thoughts were like undercurrents, and unpredictable conflicts could break out at any time.

"In that case, I will take my leave first!"

Hailanhak bowed with both hands and said to Hu Yanhuan.

Hu Yanhuan's eyes flashed slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had anticipated Hailanhak's departure.

He nodded lightly and turned his gaze to the distance, the grassland that was about to be engulfed by war.

Hailanhak turned and left, his steps firm and heavy, and the sound of the wind outside the tent seemed to be seeing him off.

Hu Yanhuan's gaze penetrated the wind and sand, and sparks of fighting spirit danced in his eyes. The impending war made him unable to let down his guard. He knew very well that the outcome of this battle was not only about honor, but also about the peace of tens of millions of ethnic groups behind it.

The wind continued to howl, bringing with it a biting chill and the tense atmosphere of the impending beating of war drums.

After Hu Yan was called away, Hu Yanzhong, who had been silent until then, stepped forward and said worriedly: "General, Hailanhak took the initiative to face the enemy head-on, which may indicate that he has ulterior motives. Should we be fully prepared?"

Hu Yanhuan turned his head, his eyes were sharp, he took a deep breath, and replied in a deep voice: "You are right, but Hailanhak's actions were also within my expectations."

"only……"

Listening to Hu Yanhuan's words, Hu Yanzhong's worries did not ease at all. Instead, his brows furrowed even tighter. He said in a deep voice: "Isn't it too risky to leave this frontal battlefield to him? What if he colludes with the rebels?"

In his opinion, their main target this time is Lin Zhongyun. As long as they can kill Lin Zhongyun, the rebel army will be in disarray.

In the end, even with a brave general like Li Zhongwu leading the army, the rebel army's momentum had been broken by then and there was nothing to be feared at all.

It can be said that the outcome of the front battlefield directly affects the victory or defeat of this war. He is not at ease to entrust such a fighter plane to Hailanhak.

"Collaborating with the rebels?"

Hu Yanhuan's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "Although Hailanhak is extremely ambitious, he must have his own bottom line. Besides, he knows in his heart that if he colludes with the rebels, he will be the next to die."

"As for the front battlefield?"

He paused for a moment, handed the intelligence hidden in his sleeve to Hu Yanzhong, and said in a deep voice: "This is from the Khan, take a look..."

The reason why he invited Hailanhak to discuss the matter was all because of this piece of information...
