Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 76 Why Are You So Skilled?

The grassland was littered with corpses.

Anagui looked at all this in bewilderment, and dozens of archers knelt in front of him.

"Sweat!"

"What's going on?"

"Yesterday, someone came with the Great Khan's wolf banner, claiming to announce his orders. We were caught off guard and, in our haste, were ambushed by him, resulting in heavy losses."

Anagui's face was solemn, and he now understood what was going on!

There must be a traitor within the Rouran!

"Yujiulüfa, I'm going to kill you!"

Anagui shouted loudly, but the people around him all advised him to calm down.

"The Khanate is in danger, Great Khan. A quick decision is needed now."

Anagui gathered the fleeing tribes and those surrounding the royal court, gathering thousands of men. Time was insufficient, otherwise Anagui could have gathered even more men and horses in the southern desert.

"How many people did you lose?"

"Over three hundred Eagle Shooters were killed and half were injured. Over one thousand seven hundred war horses were stolen, including the precious Ferghana horses."

Anagui looked dazed and almost couldn't stand, so he was supported by the person behind him.

"Don't worry, Great Khan. Our people who stayed in Mobei are still here."

Listening to his subordinates' advice, Anagui looked back.

"Return to Mobei?"

"Hungry wolves on the grasslands will flock to us when they smell blood. Now that we're injured and bleeding, the surrounding Tiele, Gaoche, and other tribes won't let us miss this opportunity. If we show any weakness, they'll pounce. If we stay here any longer, we'll be in danger."

Reason told Anagui that this was right.

But the anger in Anagui's heart did not extinguish.

At this moment, his subordinates took out the arrow that was shot at him that day.

This arrow has been collected by Anagui to warn himself not to forget the shame of the Golden Horde.

Anagui issued an order that if he did not listen to the advice, his ministers could use this arrow to persuade him.

"Great Khan, endure this humiliation for now and wait for the day ahead!"

Finally, he made his decision.

"Return to Mobei!"
-
Wuchuan.

He killed Wei Kegu and suppressed his remaining troops.

The heads of the Heba and Yuwen families could finally sit down, breathe a sigh of relief, and discuss the future.

What they were most worried about did not happen. The Tiele tribes around Wuchuan did not take advantage of the unrest in Wuchuan to rob people. Instead, they all went north for unknown reasons.

"My nephew thinks it's better not to vote for the Grand Commander!"

The two families were discussing the way forward, but Yuwen Tai's words made everyone present frown.

This matter was originally decided by Heba Duba and Yuwen Gong.

Yuwen Tai happened to be nearby and spoke.

Yuwen Tai intervened and Yuwen Gong scolded him.

"What do you know?"

Yuwen Tai was not afraid and bowed.

"Father, Uncle Heba, the Grand Commander may seem powerful, but he doesn't hold the power."

"How did you know?"

"Yunzhong is the Grand Commander's garrison, but merchants say the area is surrounded by the bandit-suppressing general's troops. Military and political decisions are not his own, but mostly rely on divination. He can't control the places close to him, let alone those far away. It seems that the Grand Commander has the final say in Shuozhou, but in reality, that's not the case."

After hearing this, Heba Duba and Yuwen Gong looked serious and no longer looked down on him as before.

Seeing this, Yuwen Tai said:

"General Dangkou is so cunning. If we surrender to the Grand Commander, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep our integrity. He will eat us up and leave nothing behind."

Heba Duba pondered for a while and said:

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Let's go to the clouds and see for ourselves what the truth is!"
-
Huaishuo.

When Li Shuang returned with a large number of troops, he found out that Wuchuan had been recaptured.

People from the Heba and Yuwen families have already taken people to Yunzhong, wanting to meet Li Shengui.

In front of him, there was a somewhat surprising person.

The messenger of the true king!
Yujiulüfa seemed to be afraid of her and brought this ordinary-looking woman to him. Yujiulü Qingyu!
Unlike the calm woman, Yu Jiulufa felt very uncomfortable in this room.

Li Shuang waved his hand, and he left as if he had been pardoned!
"Why did the True King ask you to come to me?"

"The True King wishes to make the General the Emperor!"

After hearing this, Li Shuang laughed out loud.

"The real king really knows how to joke."

"The general currently has at least 6,000 troops under his command. If he could recruit troops from the Dugu, Shedi, Hulu, and Poliuhan tribes, he could gain over 10,000 soldiers. Taking Pingcheng would be a piece of cake."

"and then?"

Yu Jiulu Qingyu didn't seem to expect that the boy in front of him would react so calmly.

"Once we take Pingcheng, we can follow the example of the Tuoba clan and march south to Luoyang to conquer the world. Then, you can become the King of Kings, the Khan of Heaven!"

It seemed that Po Liu and Han Baling were in danger of losing their lives, and everyone was targeting him.

Li Shuang smiled, suddenly stretched out his hand and held Yu Jiulu Qingyu's hand.

"Sister, you are a Rouran, why do you want to help the True King?"

Yu Jiulu Qingyu obviously did not expect that the boy opposite would make such a bold move and lose his sense of proportion.

"The True King saved my life."

"In that case, for my sister's sake, I'd like to remind you that the situation the True King faces now is such that even if Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were still alive, they wouldn't be able to solve it."

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat ambiguous. Yu Jiulu Qingyu was in his thirties, but he seemed a little awkward in front of the young man Li Shuang.

"Make plans to escape early, whether it's fleeing to the northern frontier or heading to the western regions, or go find Xiao Baoyin and ask him to give you a place to stay."

After hearing the three words "Xiao Baoyin", Yu Jiulu Qingyu's expression became complicated. In the end, she said nothing more.

"Farewell!"
-
night.

The door slowly opened, and Dugu Ru saw Li Shuang walking in. The longing she had felt for him for many days turned into sarcasm.

"Isn't this our bandit-slaying general? How come you have time to come and see a little girl like me? Where are those beauties around you? I heard there's even a golden-haired one?"

"Who did you listen to?"

"Who else do I need to listen to? The whole Huaishuo knows about the long line of prisoners."

"Rumors, they're all rumors, Aru, you're the only one in my heart!"

Dugu Ru thought about the letter she received from Po Liu Han Kongque, so she came here on horseback to save him.

As a result, when he left the city that day and Po Liu Han Chang told him the truth, Dugu Ru felt like a joke.

Thinking of this, Dugu Ru hit Li Shuang with a hammer, feeling both angry and ashamed.

"Don't think you can defeat me!"

"Aru, I'm going to eat you!"

"Ok?"

Dugu Ru raised her beautiful eyes and saw a handsome face.

"I'll eat you for the rest of my life!"

Dugu Ru hit Li Shuang again, but he held her arm. Her body softened instantly, and her voice was filled with laziness.

"You scoundrel!"

The two looked at each other for a long time. When their feelings became intense, Li Shuang blew out the candle and Dugu Ru seemed a little panicked.

"What are you doing taking off your clothes?"

"I'm a little cold!"

"Then why are you taking my clothes off?"

"I'm afraid you're cold!"

Dugu Ru, who was originally enthusiastic to please, suddenly held Li Shuang's hand, and stared at him with a pair of bright eyes in the darkness.

"Why are you so skilled at taking off women's clothes?"

"..."

Great!
The door opened with a bang and Li Shuang was thrown out. Dugu Ru's voice came from the room.

"Get out of here!"
