Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

The world was covered in ice and snow, and the spring chill lingered.

In the vast tent of the Northern Hu King, Miro Khan summoned his younger brother Miro Wuyuan, his close minister Xiluoluo, and several beloved generals, and said in a deep voice:

"The Great Zhou has gone too far, especially Lu Xiao of the White Wolf Camp, who dared to openly oppose me. He deserves to be executed!"

"Today, I have gathered you all here because I have received guidance from the Eternal Heaven, and we are prepared to avenge our people's warriors, including Lord Gulequ!"

What are your thoughts?

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, none of them saying anything immediately.

Finally, Miroku couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up:

"Brother Wang, is this true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Mirohan nodded emphatically, glancing at Bagulun:

"Last night, the Tongtian Shaman observed the celestial phenomena and personally performed divination, concluding that if our tribe launches an attack on the White Wolf camp in the spring, we will surely be able to capture Changyang County behind it!"

"At that time, our clan will be able to march straight into the Great Zhou and trample the Central Plains!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Ba Gu Lun.

The latter smiled and nodded:

"To be honest, my divination results this time are absolutely true. All the guidance comes from the Eternal Heaven, confirming that what Your Majesty said is the truth!"

"Furthermore, I have already divined that if Lu Xiao is not killed, my Northern Barbarians will face annihilation!"

Upon hearing this, Xiluoluo asked urgently:

"Your Majesty, how many troops do you plan to send south this time?"

"At least 30,000!"

Mirohan pondered for a moment and gave a precise number, but everyone in the room remained silent after hearing it. From their expressions, it was clear that they did not support the operation.

Seeing this, Ba Gu Lun said in a deep voice:

"What, have you all forgotten the humiliation that the Great Zhou Dynasty humiliated you and me?"

"Princess Yuezhen traveled thousands of miles to the Great Zhou Dynasty for the sake of my clan, but she was detained in the palace and is still not free."

"Lu Xiao even hung the heads of warriors from the Gule, Qingwu, and Heishachuo tribes on flagpoles, leaving them to be exposed to the wind and sun, and even used the bodies of our warriors to build a mound of skulls!"

"If we don't avenge this blood feud, what kind of human beings are we?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Mirohan and Bagulun were about to lose their temper, Xiluoluo spoke up:

"Your Majesty, gathering 30,000 warriors is not difficult; the difficulty lies in the timing."

"If it were summer or autumn, it would be easy to go south with several times the number of warriors, but now that spring is approaching, the cattle and sheep that have been hungry all winter need to graze and reproduce."

"If we send troops now, our tribe will lose tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of lambs and calves this year!"

His words made sense, so several senior officials from the Northern Hu Jintao government subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Spring is a great time for them to grow and expand on the grasslands. Cattle and sheep are pregnant, and most people will also give birth to offspring at this time, otherwise the grassland tribes will find it difficult to continue.

They need a smooth spring-summer transition to ensure their survival rate.

After he finished speaking, Mirokugi also had his own concerns:

"Brother Wang, besides this, there's another problem: what about the other tribes?"

He frowned as he met everyone's gaze and said:

"In the past, our tribe had no precedent of marching south in the spring, and as Xiluoluo said, this season is of great importance to our Northern Hu."

"If 30,000 warriors march south, how can the safety of the royal tent be guaranteed? What will the other tribes, who are already disobeying the king's orders, think?"

"Are you doubting the Heavenly Wizard?"

Miro Khan was initially hesitant about sending troops, but after hearing what everyone said, he instantly became furious.

He had long harbored resentment towards the various tribes' hypocritical and duplicity.

The Northern Hu claimed to have over 100,000 iron cavalry, but only 40,000 to 50,000 actually obeyed Miro Khan's orders; the rest were loyal to their respective tribes' Sijin.

With Lu Xiao's repeated victories, and Miro Khan's lack of significant actions, many tribes felt that their king was too old and unqualified to rule the grasslands.

In such cases, the act of outwardly complying while inwardly resisting becomes even more serious.

That's why Mirohan wanted to achieve a great victory, to boost morale and consolidate his throne!

"We dare not!"

Upon hearing his rebuke, everyone hurriedly bowed their heads in submission.

Ba Gu Lun waved his hand, indicating that everyone should not let this cause conflict:

"I know that sending troops south in the spring will indeed have a huge impact on our tribe, but as the Zhou people used to say, once the arrow is on the bowstring, it must be released!"

"Lu Xiao is a cunning and troublesome fellow. If we allow him to continue developing, he will be a disaster for our grasslands!"

"Even the Eternal Heaven has issued a warning about this; are we really going to ignore it?"

As he spoke, he looked around:

"Alright then, we must launch an attack on the White Wolf camp by the end of February at the latest. We can't delay any longer!"

"Before that, please explain this to the warriors of your respective tribes, and hope they will understand."

At this moment, Mirohan also made a slight concession:

"If we breach the White Wolf camp, I promise that the royal family will be the last to enter the city, while the other tribes can enter first to raid for food, seize Zhou women, and enjoy their gold and silver treasures!"

"After all, this battle concerns the dignity and rise and fall of our race; we can only succeed, not fail!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly in agreement.

At this moment, Siloro was filled with doubt:

"Your Majesty, do you think that if Lu Xiao learns that we are leading troops south, will he continue his thousand-mile raid and head straight for this place?"

As he spoke, he glanced around at the crowd:

"After all, this guy has always liked to take risky moves and start dismantling his opponent from behind."

"You can all rest assured."

At this moment, Ba Gu Lun waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet:

"While Your Majesty personally leads the expedition, I will remain at the royal court to ensure that Lu Xiao does not succeed!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt much more at ease.

Strictly speaking, the Hu people revered the Tongtian Shaman even more than their king. After all, the Tongtian Shaman was a great sage in their eyes who knew everything about astronomy and geography, and also a divine healer who prevented the entire tribe from being devoured by disease!

Anyone who falls ill can recover quickly after receiving the blessing of the Eternal Heaven with the help of the Tongtian Witch.

Therefore, in addition to the barbarian soldiers, countless barbarian civilians were also willing to follow them to the death!

Moreover, sometimes, the Tongtian Witches can make them unleash greater power and more confidence than ordinary people!

"Let's leave it at that for now."

Seeing that everyone's doubts had been dispelled, Mirohan immediately said in a solemn voice:

"As we march south, the royal court will be personally guarded by the Tongtian Witch. Before we set off, please take stock of our forces and stabilize the various tribes. Let's not allow anyone to become intimidated before the battle even begins!"

"Go back and tell your people that Lu Xiao is a wolf in sheep's clothing, harboring ambitions to march north and annihilate our tribe. He has even kidnapped our princess in an attempt to force me to submit!"

"But for the sake of all my people, I swear to die rather than obey!"
