In the king's tent, Tadun, who was sitting at the top, raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

His years of planning finally came true today.

Many years ago, when Qiuliju intended to pass the throne to Loulan, he thought of this day and found Bushan in advance to cooperate with him in putting on a good show.

Sure enough, today he successfully killed Loulan with his own hands.

Even if others speculated about the trick, no one dared to put it out in the open, because Loulan was already dead and these people no longer had any cards to play.

Waving his hands, Tadun said rather sadly: "I believe the king is unaware of this. He was deceived by Bu Shan, otherwise he would never drink this cup of poisoned wine."

"I originally hoped that the news I got was wrong, so as to eliminate all conflicts between us, but I didn't expect that."

"Ugh!!"

With a long sigh, Tadun's face was full of sadness.

Of course, this is not entirely false. Qiuliju was very kind to him. Loulan was his son after all. If Loulan was not so incompetent and unreasonable, and even wanted to get rid of him, he would want to work for him.

It’s a pity that there are no ifs in the world.

Zhang Ming, who was following closely behind Tadun, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, life and death have long been determined, and it cannot be reversed by human power."

"Bushan deceived his superiors and subordinates and received the punishment he deserved."

"Now that the great king has passed away, Wuhuan cannot be without a ruler for a day."

"Especially now that we are facing a powerful enemy, the king must ascend the throne immediately and call on all Wuhuan warriors to fight against China together."

The others finally came to their senses and knelt on one knee: "Please take the throne immediately, Your Majesty, to prevent chaos in the Stone Kingdom."

With the crowd's requests, Tadun looked even more embarrassed: "The King of Loulan's body is still warm, how can I..."

"If the king does not wait, the people of Wuhuan will be uneasy. If the Chinese army attacks at this time, who can lead us to fight against China?"

"Who can drive those bandits out of the grassland?"

After several twists and turns, Tadun finally became the king unwillingly.

After some greetings, he ordered people to properly bury Loulan's body and had people inform all the Wuhuan tribes, and then the entire royal tent fell silent.

After everyone left, Tadun sat dejectedly on the throne and sighed, "Although it was Loulan who wanted to kill me today, he is my adoptive father's biological son after all. I promised my adoptive father that I would love him dearly."

"did not expect"

"Now I am plotting against Loulan personally and want his life."

"I have no face to face my foster father in my grave."

Zhang Ming, who was standing by, had followed Tadun for many years and knew that Tadun was a man who valued friendship and loyalty.

After a moment of silence, he said calmly: "King Qiu cares more about the future of Wuhuan. He has been fighting and working hard for the strength of Wuhuan all his life."

"King Loulan is obviously not a wise leader. Now there are internal and external troubles. China is in a great position to sweep across the grassland. If the king does not take any action and just watches Wuhuan decline on the grassland, then he really has not met King Qiu."

"Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Your Majesty has already sat on the throne, so there can be no hesitation at this time." "Now, defeating China is the top priority."

Tadun felt better, and a look of relief appeared on his face: "You are right."

"What my godfather is most looking forward to is to ride his horse across Youzhou and make the whole of China our pasture."

"Although he is gone now, we must not forget his legacy."

"therefore."

"So we need to avoid the sharp edge for the time being and cannot fight a decisive battle with China at this time."

"Otherwise, the entire clan will be destroyed by the Chinese."

This sudden change also surprised Zhang Ming.

Just now, Zhang Ming wanted to persuade Tadun not to be so hasty in the decisive battle. After all, this battle was related to the life and death of Wuhuan and was of great significance.

Who knew that Tadun had no intention of engaging in a direct decisive battle, but instead wanted to postpone it.

"My lord, what do you mean by this?"

"Didn't we want to fight China to the death and fight to the death?"

Tadun said: "Other leaders, the general can ignore the power of both sides and do what he wants."

"But as the King of Wuhuan, I cannot help but consider these issues."

"Two heavenly generals and tens of thousands of elite cavalry, how much power is this?"

"If we collide head-on, not to mention the others, just the two heavenly generals, who will deal with them?"

"We all know how terrifying the Heavenly Generals are. The reason why the Wuhuan were able to roam the grasslands and make the Xiongnu, Qiang, and Xianbei bow down to them is because of the deterrent power of the two Heavenly Generals. Otherwise, if we only talk about cavalry, how big would the gap be?"

"Now that Wuhuan's only general has an unclear attitude, how can we fight this war?"

Zhang Ming was silent for a long time: "If we don't fight this battle, I'm afraid Le Shi will disobey the king's orders. After all, he has expressed his loyalty to Loulan before. Otherwise, how can Loulan sit firmly on the throne of Wuhuan?"

Tadun said: "It is precisely because Leshi's attitude is unclear that we cannot act rashly."

"I have done enough. If Le Shi is still not satisfied and is unwilling to submit to me, then there is no need to compromise with him."

"I don't want a civil war at this time, but if it is necessary, I can only compete with him. The worst that can happen is that we have to give up the Stone Kingdom. As long as there is grass, cattle and sheep on the grassland, we can survive. It's just that life will be a little more difficult. But as long as we can ensure the survival of our race, we will always have a chance in the future."

Zhang Ming was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Your Majesty has a clear mind and has taken everything into account. I admire you very much and am willing to stand by your side, even if I die a hundred times, I will not regret it."

Tadun laughed heartily: "If one has a bosom friend in life, one will die without regrets."

"Let's have a drink together tonight."
