Chapter 1742

~7 min read 1,280 words

At this moment!

"Report!"

"800-li urgent dispatch from King Langya and King Zhenyue in the Hexi land!"

As soon as this voice rang out, the royal tent was full of joy.

"Yo!"

"Speak of military intelligence, and military intelligence arrives!"

"King Langya and King Zhenyue still have some ability; only a few days have passed, and good news has arrived."

"That Da Qian brat just had good luck, catching King Langya and King Zhenyue off guard for the first time, but now he has been beaten back to his original form!"

"A brat who is still wet behind the ears, does he deserve to lead troops in battle?"

Inside the royal tent, everyone's voices rang out more and more, full of relaxation.

The Xiongnu soldier who delivered the message had just stepped into the royal tent when Helian Cha said with his hands behind his back, "Read!"

He stood straight, a powerful aura permeating his body, but in reality, he was quite expectant.

But Helian Cha was the ruler of the Golden Family, the Great Chanyu with the highest status in Xiongnu, so naturally, he had to be indifferent, even if the sky fell and the earth collapsed!

"Inform the Great Chanyu!"

"King Zhenyue sent his subordinate to deliver an 800-li urgent dispatch. Our army in Hexi has suffered heavy losses, was killed by that Living Yama until we threw away our armor and fled, and suffered a crushing defeat!"

Once these words were spoken.

The large royal tent was silent.

On the grassland, the strong wind blew, bringing a coolness, but everyone seemed to have no feeling.

Helian Cha couldn't laugh anymore.

Batier couldn't laugh anymore.

All the Xiongnu generals couldn't laugh anymore.

It was a long time before it seemed to explode.

Helian Cha walked forward with big strides, as if to devour someone, and grabbed the soldier by the collar, his face full of fury.

"What did you say?"

"Clearly, the news that came a few days ago was a victory report, how could it be a crushing defeat so quickly?"

"You have such guts, daring to deceive this Chanyu, do you want to die?"

This messenger soldier looked bitter, his legs trembling, and he said with a trembling voice.

"Great Chanyu, it is absolutely true!"

"We have all been deceived by that Living Yama!"

"The Da Qian army under Mount Canglan was just a feint by the Living Yama; the real Living Yama went around the Sudan Desert and killed his way to the rear of the Hexi land!"

"Then, the Living Yama first destroyed the Tashi tribe, then broke King Zhenyue City and King Langya City one after another, fought across over one thousand li in ten days, and attacked our army from front and back with that Da Qian feint!"

"In this battle, our army suffered a crushing defeat, with tens of thousands dead or injured, countless captured or routed, and even our tribe's holy object, the Golden Man for Heaven Worship, has fallen into the hands of the Da Qian Living Yama!"

"King Langya and King Zhenyue have strategically retreated three hundred li, but they ask the Great Chanyu to rest assured that they are regrouping and waiting for an opportunity to wash away their shame!"

Hearing this, Helian Cha almost had his vision go black and fell over.

But even so, he staggered back a few steps, unable to stand steady.

He couldn't believe it!

Hexi... was defeated?

That Living Yama took the Sudan Desert, staged another great maneuver, and killed his way into the Hexi land?

King Langya and King Zhenyue were defeated!

And even their tribe's holy object, the Golden Man for Heaven Worship, was lost!

"Trash!"

"These King Langya and King Zhenyue are both trash. One carelessness is one thing, but to let that Living Yama do it twice!"

"If you are afraid of death and retreat three hundred li, then just be afraid, what 'strategic retreat'!"

Helian Cha was furious.

The Xiongnu generals were all silent, their complexions extremely ugly.

Wang Xin closed his eyes in pain.

At this moment, he understood everything.

The so-called three Da Qian armies were all feints and containment; the real killing move was the Living Yama!

From the Sudan Desert, bypassing the Sha Wu Sea, killing his way to Crescent Spring, and then piercing through the Hexi land!

But all this... he had finally understood too late!

Batier hammered the table heavily and couldn't help but say, "It's over. According to this Living Yama's character, now that the Golden Man for Heaven Worship has fallen into his hands, won't he pee and poop on it!"

Once these words were spoken.

Swish swish swish!

Almost instantly, all the generals looked at Batier.

They weren't worried about the Golden Man for Heaven Worship falling into others' hands, but into the Living Yama's hands!

This matter... the Living Yama could really do it!

For a time, the large Xiongnu royal tent was silent, with only the strong wind blowing from the depths of the grassland...

Great Chu.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

"Prime Minister, if this drags on, the Xiongnu will inevitably harbor resentment!"

"Furthermore, our Great Chu territory is vast, and our troops are strong. If this drags on, I fear rumors will spread that I am afraid of that Living Yama!"

"The matter of marriage should be pushed forward!"

The Chu Emperor, in his yellow dragon robe, said with dignity to the Chu Prime Minister.

Hearing this, the Chu Prime Minister knew that the Chu Emperor must be dissatisfied and had made up his mind.

Although he had accepted the money, he had also done the job; now that he could no longer stop them, it had nothing to do with him.

Therefore, he lowered his head slightly.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Hearing this, the Chu Emperor looked satisfied, and then waved his hand.

"Someone!"

"Convey my order!"

The Chu Emperor was about to issue an order, letting the Chu mission take Chu Qingluan to the grassland for marriage.

But just at this moment.

"Report!"

"Inform Your Majesty, a great victory for Da Qian in Hexi!"

"That Living Yama is extraordinary. He crossed the Sudan Desert, known as the forbidden zone of death, led his army to kill his way in from the rear of Hexi, and broke King Langya and King Zhenyue!"

"In this battle, Da Qian won a great victory, beheading tens of thousands of Xiongnu, and even the Xiongnu holy object, the Golden Man for Heaven Worship, has fallen into the hands of the Da Qian Living Yama!"

"Looking at it this way, the Xiongnu might even lose the Hexi land!"

"What?"

Hearing this, the Chu Emperor's large hands suddenly gripped the armrests of the dragon chair, his eyes full of horror.

The Chu Prime Minister's heart also surged with monstrous waves!

If Da Qian took Hexi, it would be equivalent to cutting off one of Helian Cha's arms. If they achieved more merit, I fear the strategy of using the Xiongnu to contain Da Qian would be difficult to push forward!

This Da Qian's number one poisonous strategist is actually this terrifying!

For a time.

The large Golden Throne Hall was silent.

For a long time.

The small eunuch waiting for the Chu Emperor's order didn't hear the Chu Emperor's voice.

So he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty..."

The Chu Emperor came back to his senses from the shock.

He took a deep breath and said, "Pass the decree to the Imperial Kitchen, I want to eat pork knuckles today!"

"One is not enough, I want two! And they must be soft, rotten, and flavorful!" ===== CHAPTER 1744 =====
