I’m The King Chapter 324: : I will do it too

He Lanxiong sat on the hill with his knees crossed. On his left hand side were nearly a thousand large tents of the Helan tribe. They didn't suffer much loss, but the number of fighters decreased sharply. Now, they can barely scrape together four hundred riders.

What makes He Lanxiong even more sad is the sharp decline of the Xiongnu. In less than a year, a Xiongnu who could easily gather a hundred thousand cavalry has disappeared, and the rest is just naked plunder and killing for survival , These days, the sentry cavalry he sent out brought such news every day. One tribe after another disappeared into the long river of history. Not only small tribes, but even some large tribes were also facing difficulties. In the battle with the Qin State, the powerful tribe suffered even more serious losses. Usually, it is easy to gather most of the ten thousand riders, but now it is considered good to be able to gather one or two thousand riders. Their current strength on the grasslands is still considered strong, but they no longer have the same dominant power as before, so that many small tribes have also taken aim at them. Under the pressure of survival, some small tribes also attacked them one after another, the purpose was just to seize some cattle, sheep and food.

As expected by General Li Xin of the Qin State, after destroying the royal court of the Huns, the grassland lost its restraint, and all the rules and constraints no longer existed. The Huns began the cruelest battle. Killing each other, the strength is further reduced.

Although the Helan tribe avoided this life-and-death disaster, He Lanxiong couldn't be happy anyway. He was only sad, disappointed and confused. What is the future of the Helan tribe?

If his small force enters the grassland now, there will be nothing left in the blink of an eye.

He Lanxiong, who feels that he has nowhere to go, spends his days drinking to soothe his sorrows.

He Lanxiong turned his head and looked towards his right hand as he poured a big gulp of wine. There is Juliguan. Although it is night, Juliguan is still brightly lit. The former wilderness has now become a large market town. Pieces of wilderness have been reclaimed into fertile fields. At first, some rescued The homeless slaves who came out worked here, and later more and more people gathered here, forming one village after another. And near Juliguan, there are continuous workshops on one side. He Lanxiong knows that there is Gaoyuan's military product production base, arm stretching crossbows, cavalry repeating crossbows, sharp sabers, and infantry equipment. The Mo knives used are all produced from there. The two-handed sword used by the original Fufeng soldiers. After another improvement, the two-foot-long blade is double-sided, and the three-foot-long handle is made of refined steel. The total weight reached about thirty catties, and Gao Yuan named it Modao. He Lanxiong had seen Fufeng soldiers marching in formation with this guy, and the power displayed made him shudder.

And on the other side. It is a row of warehouses, all of which are filled with various goods, and those near these warehouses. There are shops one by one. With the rise of Juliguan, the shops here are no longer just merchants from Chima County, Fufeng County. Many merchants from the entire Liaoxi County have set up a branch here.

But now, they have no business to do. The chaotic situation on the grassland has discouraged all businessmen. No one will take their own life as a joke. Doing business on the grassland now is definitely a waste of money and manpower. ending.

The severance of this trade route also caused He Lanxiong to lose one of his most important sources of income. Right now, he is really sitting on nothing.

Lying sprawled among the grass, looking up at the sky full of stars, He Lanxiong suddenly howled like a wild wolf until he was hoarse.

Under the hill, there was the sound of horseshoes, but He Lanxiong turned a deaf ear to it. It was not the elders of the clan, or the younger sister was worried about his current state, so he ran over to look at him.

The sound of horseshoes stopped on his left side, and there was the sound of footsteps walking towards him.

He Lanxiong didn't open his closed eyes, "Don't say anything, I just want to vent!" He said loudly. "Don't talk to me!"

The footsteps stopped, and after a moment of silence, a slightly magnetic male voice sounded, "Brother He Lan is in a good mood, watching the moon and drinking, and howling, can you allow me to accompany Brother He Lan? "

He Lanxiong got up suddenly, stared at Gao Yuan who was bathed in the starlight, and said, "Brother Gao, why did you come here? When did you come?"

Gao Yuan laughed, walked up to He Lanxiong, snatched the jug from his hand, raised his head and drank a big gulp, "I arrived tonight and didn't disturb many people. I took a look at the workshop and processed some. It's urgent, so I wanted to find you for a drink, but I didn't want to come here, but I heard your earth-shattering long whistle."

He Lanxiong smiled wryly, "Brother Gao, I'm at the end of my road now, I don't know where the road is?"

"Why did Brother He Lan say that?" Gao Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, shook the jug, but there was not much wine in it, slapped his hands, and Tie Xuan, who was behind Gao Yuan, ran up quickly, holding his hand But there are several wine jugs in it.

"Sit down, Brother He Lan, this is the fine wine I found from Lao Wu, it is the first batch of old wine that came out, it was buried by Lao Wu under the plum tree at home, there are ten altars in total, I snatched one of them , It’s all packed in these two jugs, we can’t go back until we finish drinking today.” Gao Yuan smiled, and gave He Lanxiong one.

"Okay, if you don't drink up, you won't be done, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" He Lanxiong took the jug and said loudly. "Come on, brother Gao, I respect you. You have finally come to the end of all hardships. Now, you are already the general of Zhengdong. You have nearly ten thousand warriors under you. You are about to show your glory. I respect you."

"Thank you." Gao Yuan raised the jug, "No matter where I am, you, Brother Helan, are my best brother. I will never forget that two years ago, the two of us struggled to survive. The scene of struggling, I can't forget every moment when the two of us fought side by side and lived and died together."

He Lanxiong took a big sip of wine and said with a wry smile: "Back then we both had nothing, but now, you have become the Great General Zhengdong, and I have almost returned to the starting point, with nothing, no , is worse than that time. At that time, the royal court was still there, and although there were vendettas on the grassland, there were still rules after all. But now, look, what has become? Everyone is in danger, who I can’t believe anyone, when two tribes meet, the most common way to say hello is to draw a knife and fight desperately, Brother Gao, the Huns are finished, and so am I.”

He took another big sip of wine, "Brother Gao, you may not know, my sentry came back today and told me that the most powerful tribe of our Xiongnu, the Wuzhi clan, has decided to move north. They are going to cross the desert. Originally, I was expecting Wu Zhi to stand up and preside over the overall situation. You know, they can still gather 5,000 cavalry now. As long as they stand up, they should be able to end the chaos."

Gao Yuan listened quietly to He Lanxiong's words, looked at the heartbroken He Lanxiong, and said softly: "Brother He Lan, please forgive me, the patriarch of the Wu clan is a man with great foresight. Stand up and call on the Huns to end the cannibalism, but he dare not.”

"How can he have great foresight like a turtle with a shrunken head?" He Lanxiong sneered, "He could have become the new generation of Hun King, but he gave up."

Gao Yuan took a sip of his wine and looked at He Lanxiong, "Brother He Lan, do you think the Qin people have spent so much effort that they even lost their general Teng Yi for it? Powerful people? Will they tolerate the emergence of a new Hun King?"

He Lanxiong's body shook, and he looked at Gao Yuan with disbelief in his eyes.

"What the Qin people want is that the Xiongnu will fall into civil strife from now on. Any tribe that dares to stand up at this time will inevitably be attacked by them. In fact, except for the Qin people, no matter whether it is Zhao or Yan, they will hold this The Wu clan is now the strongest, and will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of the Central Plains. The Wu clan head resolutely decided to cross the desert. It seems dangerous, but it is the only way to protect the whole clan!"

He Lanxiong lowered his head heavily. He was originally a smart person, but at this moment he was awakened by Gao Yuan's words, and he couldn't help but feel even more ashamed, "Brother Gao, is this the end for us Huns?"

Gao Yuan carefully said: "Brother Helan, please forgive me, the Xiongnu will always exist as a nation, but as a powerful body that can affect the political situation of all countries, it has disappeared. Now, any country sends troops to the grassland, you They will not be opponents. The reason why no one has done anything now is because the countries are jealous of each other, and there are various problems within the Central Plains. However, once there is a person or tribe who can call on the Huns, it will inevitably It will usher in a fatal blow."

He Lanxiong took a long breath, "Earlier you said that Dayan would not tolerate this situation, Brother Gao, I want to ask you the truth, only Hejian County and Liaoxi County border on my Huns, If this is the case, would you send troops to destroy such a charismatic tribe?"

Gao Yuan was silent for a while, he understood what He Lanxiong meant, "Brother He Lan, I will send troops, and I, like them, will not tolerate such a thing."

"Even if this person is me?" He Lanxiong asked back.

"Even if this person is you!" Gao Yuan nodded.

He Lanxiong fell silent again, just kept pouring wine into his mouth, after a while, the pot of wine was gone, Gao Yuan handed over the wine pot in his hand.

"Thank you for telling me the truth."

"Please forgive me for standing on the ground of inaction. We always look at problems from different perspectives. The decision I make can only be in the best interest of Dayan."

"I understand, so we are still good friends! Because you didn't lie to me." He Lanxiong shook his head, "So, if we Huns want to turn around again, it will be even more difficult. It's a pity I lost my people, and after a few days of good times, they will fall into misery again." (To be continued~IndoMTL.com~
