Chapter 176: War at the Border Flares Up Again

Tang Lin was covered in sweat at this moment, turned his head panting, and gave Zhang Honghong a brilliant smile, gesturing with sign language.

I, help, you, vent, anger!

Zhang Honghong didn't know why, perhaps because the weather was getting cooler, but she always felt something was blocking her throat, and she couldn't say a word.

In order not to let her subordinates see her embarrassment, she grabbed the large knife and chopped toward Li Laizi's head.

The round head rolled twice on the ground, and Li Laizi's face still maintained a look of horror.

Turning to look at Li Laizi's mother, Zhang Honghong thought for a moment but still didn't do it. Those animal things were all done by Li Laizi, and the disaster shouldn't involve others.

"Son! My son!"

Ignoring the crying behind her, Zhang Honghong adjusted her state and turned around, restoring her heroic image of the past: "Thanks, Old Tang, I'll treat you to a drink when we go back! Now my private affairs are handled, it's time to do business!"

She wasn't a person who liked to be awkward. Since Tang Lin knew, then so be it!

Anyway, as long as she could stay in Yangguangzhai with Tang Lin, she was already very satisfied with such days!

Tang Lin responded seriously with sign language.

No, need, thanks! We, are, all, brothers!

Don't know why, Zhang Honghong suddenly felt angry again...

The border of Anbei Jun was currently preparing for war in full swing.

Wei Xikang laughed loudly with a letter in his hand and handed it to the Prince of Zhenbei on the side: "Uncle, look, these people!"

The Prince of Zhenbei took the letter and looked at it. The follow-up grain and grass from the various prefectures had been sent again, without even letting the front line take the initiative to collect them.

Of course, along with the grain and grass, there were also greetings and blessings from the various prefects, which was simply flattering!

The Prince of Zhenbei gave a wry smile. He was good at fighting, but when it came to manipulating people's hearts, he was still not as good as Wei Xikang.

Wei Xikang asked: "Uncle, how are the preparations?"

The Prince of Zhenbei responded respectfully: "Reporting to Your Highness, everything is ready!"

"Good! Last time we let that Adunla escape, this time we must leave his dog life!" Wei Xikang was very excited. He couldn't wait to deal with the trouble of the Xiongnu and then return to the capital.

The Prince of Zhenbei also knew what Wei Xikang was thinking, so he was no longer so resistant to taking the initiative to attack.

"Since that is the case, how about we send troops tomorrow?" Wei Xikang was asking for the Prince of Zhenbei's opinion on the surface, but was actually urging him.

After the last victory, Wei Xikang wanted to pursue the victory, but the Prince of Zhenbei didn't agree and kept dragging it until today without a definite answer.

The Prince of Zhenbei still wanted to drag it out for a few more days. It wasn't that he was timid, but that the last victory made him feel something was strange, so he kept sending scouts during this period, trying to find out the location of the Xiongnu royal court.

But Wei Xikang's repeated urging made the Prince of Zhenbei have to compromise.

"Good! Then send troops tomorrow!"

Last time the Xiongnu suffered a defeat, the entire camp retreated ten miles, but didn't leave, just eyeing the Zhenbei Army like tigers.

Just right to send troops tomorrow, first go and test what kind of tricks Adunla is playing!

The Prince of Zhenbei looked toward the direction of the Xiongnu camp from afar, but as long as he didn't find the Xiongnu royal court for one day, he couldn't settle down in his heart.

Adunla was pacing back and forth in the big tent at this moment. He had deliberately let the Prince of Zhenbei win a battle last time, and why was there no movement afterward? Could it be that he had become a shrinking turtle again?

He wasn't afraid of fighting a real battle with the Prince of Zhenbei, but was afraid of the Prince of Zhenbei being a shrinking turtle and dragging out time with him.

Now it had started to snow in some places on the grassland, and he didn't have much time left!

Early the next morning, the Zhenbei Army was ready for battle, with spear and shield soldiers and knife and axe men as the backbone, and light archers on both wings.

"Beat the drums! Advance!"

At the very front of the formation, the Prince of Zhenbei reined in his horse and issued orders with an expressionless face.

"Dong! Dong dong!"

As the war drums sounded, the Prince of Zhenbei's gaze crossed the slightly undulating wasteland ahead, as if he could see the Xiongnu camp in the distance.

Adunla laughed heartily when he heard the war drums: "Prince of Zhenbei, oh Prince of Zhenbei! You still couldn't hold back!"

This time Adunla still wanted to let the Prince of Zhenbei win. Not only did he have to let him win, but it had to be a great victory.

"All troops of the Fenan King Department, listen to the order! In this battle, you shall be the vanguard!"

"Yes!"

A man with a hooked nose in the crowd responded coldly, and his gaze toward Adunla was still somewhat disdainful!

The other tribal leaders didn't say anything, but they knew that the Fenan King Department was going to die today.

Adunla was not a good person. Just because the Fenan King Department reported to the royal court, questioning Adunla and the Prince of Zhenbei for acting together, he had been holding a grudge against them in his heart. Today, he just happened to borrow the hand of an "old friend" to get rid of the other party.

"Warriors of the grassland! Fight!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!!"

The leader of the Fenan King Department also knew that Adunla was dissatisfied with him, so the Fenan King Department hadn't fought any battles or gained any credit for a long time.

You have to know that there were so many tribes on the grassland, and their quality and numbers were uneven. Plus, the grassland respected warriors, so when they gained spoils, they relied on credit to divide them.

So Adunla had been keeping the Fenan King Department from fighting, which led to them not gaining any spoils to send back to the tribe this year.

The leader of the Fenan King Department had expressed his dissatisfaction many times. A few days ago, the two had another conflict. The leader of the Fenan King Department said that if Adunla didn't arrange for the Fenan King Department to fight, then he would go back to the royal court to report to the Wolf King!

So this time, the Fenan King Department being the vanguard didn't arouse his suspicion. In his view, this was an opportunity he had fought for, and he must fight a beautiful battle to let everyone see.

"Children of the Fenan King Department, let the Wolf King see who is the fiercest warrior on the grassland!"

"Roar!!!"

The Fenan King Department cavalry quickly assembled, like a group of gathered locusts, scattered and without rules. Compared with the strict formation of the Zhenbei Army, they appeared wild and impetuous.

Adunla didn't say anything to remind them when he saw this. He knew the other party too well; even if he reminded them, they wouldn't listen.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Prince," the Vice General drove his horse closer and whispered, "The Xiongnu seem to be exceptionally irritable today, their formation is scattered, which is very different from their previous caution."

The Prince of Zhenbei didn't answer immediately. Like last time, the Zhenbei Army still chose to stabilize the formation.

His gaze slowly swept across every corner of the Xiongnu cavalry vanguard. The sun was a bit dazzling, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Adunla and he understood each other. He thought Adunla was the sharpest fang of the Xiongnu royal court, and his battlefield style was even more cunning and cruel.

But such a frivolous attitude today didn't look like his style.

"How is the scout report?" The Prince of Zhenbei's voice was low, making it unclear what emotion was in it.

"No ambush seen for the time being," the Vice General replied, his tone carrying a hint of irrepressible excitement, "Prince, Adunla's figure has not been found!" ===== CHAPTER 177 =====
