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

"Hu Yanhuan, you must clearly understand that the reason why I am so angry with you is because I have long regarded you as my future successor." These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Hu Yanhuan's heart heavily, shocking him greatly.

He raised his head and looked at the Khan in disbelief, tears of surprise and gratitude flashing in his eyes, as if at this moment he truly understood the Khan's good intentions.

Chagan Wuli continued: "The future of the Northern Barbarians will eventually fall on the shoulders of young people like you. I hope you can learn from this failure and grow up quickly. The grassland will not wait for a weak leader."

His words were full of expectations and trust in Hu Yanhuan, but also revealed a stern warning.

Hu Yanhuan felt a warm current surge in his heart. He kowtowed heavily, his voice choked with sobs: "I will live up to the Khan's expectations!" His heart was filled with firm determination and gratitude. He was determined not to disappoint the Khan's expectations and become a powerful leader.

At this moment, Hu Yanhuan remembered the small cloth bag around his waist. He hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to take something out of the bag and respectfully presented it to Chagan Wuli.

Chagan Wuli stared at the small cloth bag handed over by Hu Yanhuan with a sharp gaze, and his brows suddenly furrowed. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, carefully examining this seemingly ordinary cloth bag.

As the Khan of the Northern Barbarians, he knew that the bag contained a kind of fragrant powder unique to the Northern Barbarians. After being processed by their unique craftsmanship, this fragrant powder smelled like ordinary grass. Only the falcons they had carefully trained could track their prey by this smell.

However, he was confused and didn't understand why Hu Yanhuan offered this insignificant item at this moment.

Seeing that the Khan's expression had eased a little, Hu Yanhuan immediately stepped forward and said with some excitement: "Khan, Li Zhongwu has been captured by us now, but if we kill him directly, it would be too easy for him. Lin Zhongyun has a close relationship with Li Zhongwu, and he will definitely not sit idly by and watch Li Zhongwu being captured. Therefore..."

In his view, this was his chance to redeem himself and survive. Therefore, when Chagan Wuli ordered the execution of Li Zhongwu, he deliberately spared Li Zhongwu's life.

Just as he continued to expound with great interest, preparing to use this small sachet to atone for his sins and demonstrate his wisdom, the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from afar, interrupting his words.

Immediately afterwards, a guard rushed into the tent in a hurry and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, Hailanhak sent an envoy to ask for a meeting!" This sudden news was like a huge rock, thrown into the already turbulent situation.

Chagan Wuli and Hu Yanhuan looked at each other, and saw surprise and vigilance in each other's eyes. What was Hailanhak's intention in asking for a meeting at this time? Did he see through their plan, or did something happen to the rebels?
At this moment, several questions popped up in Chagan Wuli's mind. Hailanhak was fighting fiercely with the rebels. If something happened there, it would undoubtedly make the current situation worse.

Hu Yanhuan also frowned and stood up immediately. He realized that the situation might be developing in an unpredictable direction. He originally thought that he could use this strategy to make up for his mistakes, but now, everything has become uncertain.

After a brief thought, he said directly: "Great Khan, now is not the time to turn against Hailanhak. Hailanhak may have sent an envoy this time to take advantage of the opportunity to resist the rebels and ask for rewards."

Chagan Wuli pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat. He turned to Hu Yanhuan, with a sharp light in his eyes: "It seems that things are much more complicated than we thought."

He stood up, his voice low and full of majesty: "In this case, let us wait and see what exactly Hailanhak is planning."

Soon, the envoy of the Hailan tribe walked into the tent with firm and heavy steps, as if he was shouldering the fate of the entire tribe. His steps were firm and powerful, and every step seemed to be telling the heavy history and future of the Hailan tribe.

The envoy did not beat around the bush, but came straight to the point and stated Hailanhak's purpose. His voice was steady and resolute, as if every word was full of power: "Great Khan, our leader has only two requests: one is Li Zhongwu's head, and the other is to forgive the innocent people of the Hailan tribe."

Hu Yanhuan watched from the side, frowning, thinking in his heart: This Hailanhak actually took the initiative to admit defeat at this time? Even Chagan Wuli was a little surprised at this moment, Hailanhak's behavior was beyond his expectations.

However, before they could think about it, the messenger continued, "If the Khan agrees to these two conditions, we, the Hailan tribe, will die on the battlefield, and you, the Khan, don't have to do it yourself and tarnish your reputation."

"This...?" Chagan Wuli hesitated. This request was completely different from the Hailanhak who dominated the grassland before. He was like two completely different people. A trace of doubt and vigilance flashed in his eyes.

He lowered his voice and shouted, "So, Hailanghak admits what he did before?" He was always worried about Hailanhak's sudden change.

The messenger nodded in agreement without any hesitation. Before he came, Hailanhak told him to tell him everything. "Yes, our tribe has only one request, which is Li Zhongwu's head."

"Hehe, this is strange. Is Hailanhak so easy to talk to?" Chagan Uli continued to ask.

"Great Khan, the will of our Hailan tribe is known to all. We have stopped the 70,000 or 80,000 rebels outside and have not let any of them cross the Hailan Pasture. If not, I'm afraid the Khan's side would not be as relaxed as it is now." The messenger pondered for a moment, clasped his hands together and said, "Our leader has completely given up and only wants Li Zhongwu's head to avenge Hailantaish."

"Oh, it's Hailantaishi." Chagan Wuli looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and then he looked at the messenger with interest and joked, "That's what Hailanhaq meant. What do you mean? Will the rest of your Hailan tribe be willing?"

"Great Khan, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Even if we are unwilling to accept this, what can we do?" The envoy suddenly raised his head and went straight to Chagan Wuli's Limang, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly: "No matter what, we will eventually die. But please, Great Khan, leave us the name of warriors in the end."

After hearing this, Chagan Wuli was silent for a moment, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He knew that the warriors of the Hailan tribe were famous for their bravery and fighting skills on the grassland, and Hailanhak's request was undoubtedly showing him a kind of silent respect and the last dignity.

He stood up slowly, his eyes swept over everyone in the tent, finally stopping on the messenger.

"Emissary, very good, you take a rest for a while, let me think about this matter carefully." Chagan Wuli's voice was full of unquestionable majesty. After hearing this, the envoy bowed deeply to show his respect for Chagan Wuli's decision. He understood that this might be the best outcome for the Hailan tribe, and it was also what their leader Hailanhak hoped for.

After the messenger left, Chagan Uli stood in the center of the tent. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he carefully scanned every corner of the tent.

Hu Yanhuan stood aside respectfully, waiting for the Khan's instructions. The air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.

After an unknown amount of time, Chagan Uli slowly spoke, his voice low and full of majesty: "Hu Yanhuan, your plan and Hailanhak's request have given me a new idea."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Hu Yanhuan's eyes. He held his breath and waited for the Khan's next words.

Chagan Wuli continued, "We can agree to Hailanhak's request, but not to hand over Li Zhongwu directly. Instead, we can use him as bait to lure out Lin Zhongyun."

Hu Yanhuan's eyes flashed with surprise and admiration. He realized that the Khan's plan was much more far-reaching than he had imagined.

Chagan Wuli’s eyes became sharper: “We can spread the news that we will hand Li Zhongwu over to Hailanhak.

This news will definitely reach Lin Zhongyun's ears. Given their relationship, Lin Zhongyun will definitely come to rescue them." Hu Yanhuan suddenly realized, and he added: "And we can use the sachet to track Lin Zhongyun's whereabouts."

Chagan Wuli nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "That's right. In this way, we can not only lure out Lin Zhongyun, but also use Hailanhak's power. Once Lin Zhongyun appears, Hailanhak will definitely go all out."

Hu Yanhuan was filled with admiration. He realized that the Khan not only wanted to get rid of Lin Zhongyun, but also wanted to take this opportunity to completely solve the problem of Hailanhak. This plan could be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Chagan Uli's voice became even deeper: "Remember, the key to this plan is confidentiality. Don't let anyone know the true intention except you and me." Hu Yanhuan nodded solemnly. He understood the importance of this plan.

A plan that could change the entire grassland landscape is quietly unfolding, and the success or failure of this plan will determine the fate of many forces.

In this plan, every detail is crucial, and every decision may affect the direction of the entire situation. Chagan Wuli and Hu Yanhuan are well aware of this, so they must proceed with every step carefully to ensure the success of the plan.

At this moment, there was a slight commotion outside the tent. Chagan Wuli and Hu Yanhuan looked at each other and saw a hint of vigilance in each other's eyes. Chagan Wuli waved his hand, signaling Hu Yanhuan to check the situation. Hu Yanhuan tiptoed to the door of the tent and carefully lifted a corner.

Outside, the wind on the grassland was still howling, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. In the cage far away, Li Zhongwu suddenly felt a palpitation. What he didn't know was that he had become a key chess piece in this big chess game.

The strong wind raged across the earth, blowing up grass debris all over the sky, causing the entire world to fall into chaos.

Although the sun was already high in the sky, the sunlight still looked dim, giving people a heavy and depressing feeling. This kind of weather seemed to silently foreshadow an approaching storm, whether natural or man-made.

Lin Zhongyun crouched on a low hill, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, carefully examining the scene in front of him. According to his previous plan, he had quickly reached the edge of Hailan Ranch, but the scene in front of him made him frown and his heart was full of worries.

Hailanhak has firmly controlled the only passage here, and the tightness of the defense far exceeded Lin Zhongyun's expectations. From time to time, patrolling scouts roam around, and the whole situation seems extremely tense. Every scout's movement is full of vigilance, as if they are on guard against a powerful enemy.

Lin Zhongyun felt uneasy. He originally thought that with his wisdom and courage, he could easily sneak into Hailan Ranch and successfully join the opposing army. However, it now seems that the situation is much more complicated than he imagined, which forced him to re-evaluate his plan.

He gently stroked the sword at his waist, thinking quickly about the countermeasures in his mind. It was obviously impossible to break through the defense line head-on, so was there any other way to bypass this defense line? Or, could he use some kind of strategy to blend in?

At this moment, Lin Zhongyun noticed a detail. Among the patrolling scouts, one person's movements seemed a little uncoordinated. From time to time, the person cast his eyes in a certain direction, as if he was looking for something, or waiting for something.

Lin Zhongyun's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. This unusual action might mean a potential breakthrough. However, he also had to be wary of whether this was a carefully laid trap.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and carefully recalled all the intelligence he had obtained before. Hailanhak's sudden strengthening of defense, Li Zhongwu's capture, Chagan Wuli's movements, all this information flashed quickly in his mind, interweaving into an intricate picture of the situation.

When he opened his eyes again, they were full of determination. He knew that every step he took next might be dancing on the edge of a knife, and if he was not careful, he might fall into an irretrievable situation. But in order to rescue Li Zhongwu and for greater justice, he had no choice.

Lin Zhongyun slowly stood up and cautiously approached the suspicious scout. Every move he made was filled with caution, like a cheetah on the hunt, quietly approaching its prey.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves in the distance. Lin Zhongyun quickly crouched down, held his breath, and looked around vigilantly. What he didn't know was that this sudden change might completely change the situation, bring him new opportunities, or push him into a more dangerous situation.

The wind was still howling, and everything on the grassland seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil. On this vast grassland, the game of various forces was quietly unfolding, and everyone became a chess piece in this big chess game, actively or passively participating in it, waiting for the judgment of fate.
