Chapter 1652

Could it be... that the Living Yama is really not in Shanglin Commandery?

"Impossible. Besides leaving Shanglin Commandery to find our royal tribes and strike them, where else could the Great Qian's Living Yama go?"

"That's not necessarily true. That Living Yama is extremely cunning. Could a normal person lead 800 men to bypass our defenses and destroy our tribe's lair? But this Living Yama dared to; he is bolder than the Duke of Ding!"

"But in the Xuanshui River Bend, our tribe retreated 500 li, and it is vast and boundless. For Great Qian to achieve results here is as difficult as ascending to heaven. To the east of the Hexi region is Canglan Mountain, and to the south is the boundless Kulin Desert. Could it be a detour to raid our royal court?"

For a time, the royal tent exploded.

Helian Cha also looked confused.

Now, with truth and falsehood mixed, even he couldn't be sure.

"The Hexi region is absolutely impossible. The Hexi region has natural barriers, and the usual main roads into the Hexi region are firmly controlled by our tribe. The forces of the Prince of Langya and the Prince of Zhenyue have tens of thousands of elites, and with other tribes, let alone that Living Yama having only tens of thousands of men, even 30,000 would have to be buried in Hexi!"

Helian Cha spoke, categorically denying it.

The generals also nodded one after another, looking in agreement.

It was at this moment.

"Giddyup!"

"Giddyup, giddyup!"

Outside the royal tent, a very urgent sound of horse hooves hitting the ground came, accompanied by a very panicked voice—

"Report!"

"Great Chanyu, something terrible has happened; urgent military intelligence from Hexi!"

Hearing the voice, Helian Cha's expression suddenly changed.

Urgent military intelligence from Hexi?

Almost in an instant, Helian Cha's heart jumped into his throat.

Could something have happened in Hexi?

But that's impossible; how could something happen in Hexi?

Helian Cha pretended to be calm, suppressing the complex thoughts in his heart.

The Xiongnu messenger stepped into the camp tent, knelt on one knee toward Helian Cha, and said in a loud voice, "Great Chanyu, Shanglin Commandery was just Great Qian's deceptive tactic; we have all fallen for that Living Yama's trap!"

"That Living Yama is not in Shanglin Commandery, but left Yanmen Commandery, went down the Wu River, hid his tracks all the way, and killed his way to the Canglan Mountain area. He climbed over Canglan Mountain and killed his way into the Hexi land!"

Boom!

Once these words were spoken.

Inside the massive camp tent, there was silence.

Hearing this news, the Xiongnu generals felt a monstrous wave rise in their hearts!

That Living Yama was really not in Shanglin Commandery, and he hadn't gone to attack the Xuanshui River Bend, nor had he taken a detour into the depths of the grassland; his target was actually the Hexi land!

Wang Xin's expression was solemn; the thing he worried about most had finally happened.

Helian Cha's face was extremely ugly.

Sure enough, his intuition was right.

As the Xiongnu soldier said this, his face showed some hesitation, and the words that followed paused, which made Helian Cha feel even more that something was wrong.

"The Living Yama led his army to kill into the Hexi land, and then what?"

"Speak quickly, or I will behead you directly!"

Helian Cha shouted sharply, looking like a madman.

The Xiongnu messenger's body trembled visibly, fear flashing in his eyes, and then he hurriedly said, "The Living Yama killed his way into the Hexi land from Canglan Mountain, first killing the Canglang King and the Helan King, then pushed horizontally all the way, destroying more than twenty tribes in a row, and killed his way to the Prince of Langya's city!"

"And at midnight, when it was silent, he launched a surprise attack on our Prince of Langya's city, using that terrifying weapon called a grenade. Our army was killed until our morale was scattered!"

"This battle..." the Xiongnu messenger gritted his teeth and continued, "This battle was a great defeat for our army. Thousands of our tribesmen were beheaded. The Prince of Langya ran fast and escaped a disaster, but the Left Great Commandant Luan Ti Wutu was killed on the spot, the Right Prime Minister Huyangu Du was captured alive, and even the Prince of Langya's wife and children were captured alive by the Qian army..." ===== CHAPTER 1654 =====
