This bloated army marched slowly on the road, carrying a strong wind and rain.

The snow underfoot had already been trampled into ice and was extremely muddy.

At this moment, the genius shone brightly.

In the ice and snow, the air seemed to be frozen, and the cold wind was biting, and the cold wind blew on my face like a knife, making it cold and painful.

The sky is glowing with white light, and a little light gradually shines under the white belly of the fish, bringing a little warmth to the earth.

But this warmth is obviously far from enough.

It's about this time of the day that it gets the coldest.

The chill accumulated overnight will not disappear just because of the first ray of sunshine in the morning.

Along the way, we really brought too many things and too many people, and our marching speed was too slow.

Fortunately, there was no reaction from the Han people. If there was a reaction from the Han people, he would not dare to be so arrogant if he had the courage to do so.

After drinking hot goat milk, Qi Wannian felt much better.

What a shame for his original decision.

Thinking that the Han people were as easy to bully as before, they also wanted to establish a Huns kingdom and a new royal court in Chang'an.

The Han people are still too powerful.

Not to mention the so-called Western Expeditionary Army of the Han people, the King of Hejian in Chang'an was not someone he could easily provoke.

but

Qi Wannian has no regrets.

On the contrary, he felt that what he did was very wise.

In this attack on Hongnong County, the people led by Qi Wannian indeed suffered heavy losses, but the power in his hands actually increased.

This enhancement is not reflected in the number of people, but in his control over the army.

It turns out that although he is called the emperor, he has too few obedient people.

The two typical thorns are the leaders of Malanqiang and Lu Shuihu. These two did not make you have a good attitude towards him before.

But after this incident, Malanqiang and Lu Shuihu's people suffered heavy losses. Their voice in the army was reduced, and they were too obedient to say anything about him.

Not to mention anything else, just conquering the Malanqiang and Lu Shuihu groups was already a huge gain for him.

To put it bluntly, his gains did not end there.

The wealth and population of Hongnong County, Hu County, Huayin and other places are all huge gains for him.

When he returns to Liangshan, he only needs to lick his wounds. When he comes out again, he will be stronger.

When the time comes, maybe he will be able to ignore the King of Hejian and the Han people's Western Expedition.

Qi Wannian thought so.

The whole roasted lamb in front of me was already golden and crispy under the charcoal fire.

The finished roasted lamb is yellow-red in color, shiny, with crispy skin and tender meat.

Qi Wannian tapped his eyelids lightly with a knife, and it made a sound like it was made on hard metal.

Somewhat crisp.

The aroma, coupled with the good appearance, greatly increased Qi Wannian's appetite.

He quickly cut off a piece of meat from the lamb's hind leg with the knife in his hand, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Put this piece of golden and crispy meat into your mouth. Under the rough appearance, it has a delicate texture.

Ah~

Even Qi Wangnian had eaten a lot, and now he couldn't help but exhale slowly.

After the first bite, there was the second and third bite.

Then, the whole roasted lamb, which was not small, actually went into Qi Wannian's belly. What was originally a complete roasted lamb now only had a skeleton left, and it was really a mess.

After eating and drinking, Wang Sheng went to do what he loved to do.

At this time, there were several lovely Han women huddled in the corner of the big tent.

Just when Qi Wannian was about to take action, a thin and dark old Huns man came outside the door.

This old man had given Qi Wannian a favor before he became successful, so after Qi Wannian achieved success, he kept him by his side.

Apart from his wife, concubines, and children, the old man in front of him was probably the one he trusted the most.

No.

In other words, the person in front of him gained his trust more than his wives, concubines, and heirs.

Therefore, Qi Wannian also appointed him as the commander of the bodyguard.

"Uncle Hei, what's the matter?"

The mood I had just arrived was disrupted. If it were any man, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

Of course Qi Wannian is also included in this list.

But at this time, Uncle Hei didn't pay attention to the sullen look on Qi Wannian's face, but said, "The little prince caught wind and cold along the way. The Han doctor said that the little prince is dying, and he will return to the embrace of Changshengtian today. Please ask the king

Go see the little prince for the last time."

"What!"

The good mood I felt after eating the roasted whole lamb was gone at this moment.

Originally, his youngest son was the most popular with him, otherwise he would not have taken him out of Liangshan.

Unexpectedly, I caught wind and cold along the way.

Didn't the Han doctor say that his son's cold was cured, so why was he dying now?

Qi Wannian was extremely angry.

"Drive that Han doctor over here. If he can't cure my little pony, I will make him die a miserable death!"

With that said, Qi Wannian quickly walked towards his youngest son's tent.

Uncle Hei quickly followed Qi Wannian.

When they arrived outside the camp, Qi Wannian rushed in directly.

But just for a moment, Qi Wannian felt something bad happened.

Because there were suddenly many people in the tent that originally only contained his youngest son.

And a scimitar was now placed on his neck.

Gulu~

Qi Wannian swallowed secretly, his eyes rolled rapidly, and his back suddenly felt chilly.

Fell into a trap!

Someone wants to kill him.

But Qi Wannian's panic only lasted a moment.

He quickly adjusted.

"who are you?"

The knife was pressed against his neck, and Qi Wannian did not dare to turn his head. As for Uncle Hei behind him, he had already been subdued by several people.

"Your Majesty, do you remember me?"

this sound

Qi Wannian frowned, with a look of shock in his eyes.

"General Hao, is that you?"

His tone was full of disbelief.

"Why do you treat me like this? I usually treat you well."

"General Hao, he is your king. Now you are putting a knife on your king's neck. What are you going to do?"

Although Uncle Hei was restrained, he still tried his best to break free. At the same time, his mouth was not blocked.

"Why are you pretending to be innocent here, Your Majesty? What you did last night was forgotten so quickly."

last night?

Qi Wannian shook his head suddenly.

"I didn't do anything last night."

Hao Duyuan didn't talk nonsense with Qi Wannian.

"To be honest, I have already been in contact with the King of Hejian. He said that as long as I hand over your people, this king will be mine."

At this moment, Qi Wannian suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hao Duyuan, why do you want to make up any excuses for wanting to be this king? We prairie men speak with our fists. You and I have a fair duel. If I win, I will call you the king. If you lose, you

How about taking your people away from now on?"

Hao Duyuan sneered.

"I think you'd better stop being so clever. The position you held back then was already mine."

Originally, Hao Duyuan was the first to rise up.

And Qi Wannian was behind him.

It was only because he was afraid of Han retaliation that he gave up this position.

Otherwise, whether in terms of strength or prestige, he would be infinitely superior to Qi Wannian.

I originally thought that as long as he was around, Qi Wannian would not be able to make trouble.

As a result, he recruited tens of thousands of Huns and formed his own army. Coupled with the previous battles, Qi Wannian's prestige increased.

At that time, Hao Duyuan was not as strong as Qi Wannian, and his prestige was not as good as Qi Wannian.

Therefore, I rejected that idea.

But giving up this idea does not mean that there are no ideas.

I just don't dare to express it.

But what happened last night deeply hurt Hao Duyuan's nerves.

If he doesn't resist, he may be completely defeated.

Nothing, not even life.

"You have killed too many Han people. If I don't give you to the Han people, even if we get to Liangshan, the Han people will not give up. Whether it is for me or for everyone, please be a slave of the Han people."

"Hehehe~"

At this time, Qi Wannian sneered instead.

"You would rather believe the Han people than me?"

Hao Duyuan shook his head gently.

"It's not that I don't want to believe you, but what you have done these days makes me unable to believe you."

In these days, Qi Wannian suppressed Lu Shuihu and Malanqiang in order to consolidate his power. By the way, it naturally also hit Hao Duyuan.

To be honest, Hao Duyuan has been angry for a long time.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have exploded all at once.

"That's all. No matter how much I tell you, I'm afraid it won't change your mind. I looked at this tent and I can't see my son. Where did you put him? This is a grudge between you and me and has nothing to do with him."

"Of course it has something to do with him."

Hao Duyuan smiled softly, but Qi Wannian's face suddenly darkened.

"This camp is surrounded by my own personal guards. They don't think they can get out of this camp by killing me, do they?"

Hao Duyuan sneered and said, "When I say that you were assassinated by a Han assassin, what can they do to me? Besides, whether it is the leader of Lu Shuihu or the leader of Malanqiang, what you have done these days, my king,

But there is something I don’t agree with. The oath you and I made before the Immortal Heaven was to bring us wine and meat, but now, most of the people brought by Lu Shuihu and Malanqiang are dead."

"I think the two of them were also involved in this matter?"

Hao Duyuan laughed hard, nodded and said, "Of course I can't do this kind of thing alone."

Outside the camp, two people walked in immediately.

It was the leaders of Malanqiang and Lu Shuihu.

"Your Majesty, it's really not us who didn't abide by the oath we made before. It was you who didn't abide by your oath first."

Hey hey~

Qi Wannian gritted his teeth.

If possible, Qi Wannian would like to eat the flesh of all these people.

"General Hao, you and I are old acquaintances. I will take my people to the grassland. Do you like it?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to negotiate terms now?"

Qi Wannian nodded heavily.

"I can even personally pass this throne to you."

Hao Duyuan did not follow Qi Wannian's tactics.

"If I don't restrain you now and get out of trouble, your situation will be my situation."

Hao Duyuan shook his head slightly. After saying so many words, he might have felt too boring.

"Your Majesty, we have talked too much."

After thinking for a moment, Hao Duyuan pushed and pulled the knife horizontally.

A head fell immediately.

I'm afraid Qi Wannian has thought about many ways to die, but he has never thought of dying like this.

The sky is getting brighter.

The sunshine today is particularly dazzling, and accordingly, the temperature is also higher.

Wang Sheng got up early.

At this time, in the prefecture of the county city, Zhang Hong had already begun strategic deployment.

The fire last night was really too big, and now, even Zhang Hong knew what happened.

"Junhou."

Seeing Wang Sheng coming, Zhang Hong quickly saluted Wang Sheng.

"General."

Wang Sheng naturally returned the gift.

"Last night I heard that someone came back to the city late at night."

Wang Sheng nodded lightly, this matter was not a secret matter, and besides, Wang Sheng had never thought of hiding the news.

"It is indeed my envoy who has arrived. Seeing that it was too late last night, he did not disturb the general. Please don't worry about it."

Zhang Hong waved his hand, looking very generous.

"It's nothing. Can you please tell me the answer?"

Wang Sheng nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

"The King of Hejian agreed."

"accepted?"

Zhang Hong also showed joy on his face.

"It seems that this Western Expedition can be a little easier."

The King of Hejian agreed, so the foreigners from Tongguan would not be able to leave.

Catching turtles in a urn, with his 100,000 men, including 5,000 elites, can easily deal with these foreigners.

"But I'm afraid the general has to falsely report some heads."

Wang Sheng's words made Zhang Hong stunned for a moment.

"Does the King of Hejian have conditions?"

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

"The King of Hejian doesn't want too many people to die."

Zhang Hong sighed in his heart.

"It seems that the King of Hejian really has different intentions."

Zhang Hong rolled his eyes and asked, "Should we inform Your Majesty about this matter?"

Wang Sheng smiled softly and said, "It all depends on the general's thoughts."

Zhang Hong was the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the emperor also summoned him several times.

Although Zhang Hong only got this position because of him, Wang Sheng, it was inevitable that the emperor had special words for him.

If Wang Sheng expresses disrespect for the emperor and then passes through Zhang Hong's mouth, it will be a bit bad.

That's why

Wang Sheng chose to practice Tai Chi.

Now, it can be said that he cannot conquer people like Zhang Hong.

"The general also knows what happened last night. I see that the matter cannot be delayed. Today, I will lead my troops to strangle Qi Wannian. Does the general have anyone to recommend?"

Wang Sheng wants Zhang Hong to recruit people, not because Wang Sheng has no one, but because Wang Sheng wants Zhang Hong to send a signal.

I don't want to monopolize this credit.

Eating alone is never a good habit.

And Wang Sheng is not someone who likes to eat alone.

By sharing, sometimes you can get more things.

"There are a few candidates."

Zhang Hong immediately understood what Wang Sheng meant.

He was not polite and directly recommended five of his close associates.

Wang Sheng did not choose to refuse.

On the same day.

Wang Sheng led 30,000 people and headed towards Hu County.

It’s time to finish the Western Expedition.
Chapter completed!
