The wind was still howling.

Such weather is very rare for the Chinese army. If this army had not already fought wars in the east and the west, most people would not have been able to adapt after wandering on the grassland with Zhang He for half a year.

But for the more than 10,000 Wuhuan people who followed the army, it was just commonplace.

After the defeat at Shanggu, and with the families of these people having already moved south, the matter was already settled, and therefore these people were much less resistant to China.

This can be seen from the fact that they changed into Chinese military uniforms two days ago.

"General, do we really want to fight against our own people?"

“I always feel uneasy.”

"We are the eagles of the grassland, how can we succumb to..."

The person who spoke was Wu Yanyong's deputy general, but before he could finish his words, Wu Yanyong, who looked haggard, waved his hand and said, "I am the meat and others are the butchers. What can I do?"

"Don't say such things in the future. Right now, we just need to save the lives of our people. Otherwise, I'm afraid that there won't be a single one left among the more than 100,000 of us."

"Do you think the Chinese will be kind to us?"

The deputy general shook his head: "But the brothers under my command are very dissatisfied. They don't want to kill each other. They are afraid that one person will get excited and cause chaos. Then won't we be blamed?"

"This advance is also death!"

Wu Yanyong sighed, "Okay, I will consider this matter. I will try my best to pick out those who want to stir up trouble and tell them that we will not attack the royal court directly. Even if we fight for China, we will be fighting against other tribes."

"Tap Tap"

A burst of hurried horse hoofbeats sounded. Wu Yanyong, who was talking, saw Zhao Yun and Xi Zhicai rushing over. He immediately shrank his head, glared at the deputy general beside him, and hurried forward: "I didn't know that General Zhao and the military advisor had come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me!!"

At this moment, Wu Yanyong no longer had the arrogance he had before. Instead, he was filled with fear and trepidation, as if life had smoothed out his edges.

Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "General Wu Yan, you don't have to be polite. I just received news from the Shi Kingdom. It is of great importance. That's why I came here with the military advisor to tell you."

"Something happened in the Stone Country?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Yun said: "Loulan was killed, and the current Wuhuan King is Tadun!"

These words were like thunder from a clear sky, exploding directly in Wu Yanyong's head.

He was aware of the discord between Tadun and Loulan. It was because of his full support for Loulan that he was able to suppress Tadun, who was in power among the Wuhuan.

And at this moment it was not because Loulan was more suitable to be the King of Wuhuan, but because Qiuliju not only promoted Wu Yanyong, but also saved his life.

So even though he knew that Loulan was inferior to Tadun, he still strongly supported Loulan.

After the defeat at Shanggu, the people he felt most sorry for were not the Wuhuan, but Qiuliju and Loulan.

He could imagine that after the news was passed back, the ambitious Tadun would never let Loulan go easily, but thinking of the powerful enemy nearby, even if Tadun had this intention, he would have to consider the consequences of internal strife. Who would have thought that Tadun was so cruel and ruthless that he actually attacked Loulan directly and seized the power of Wuhuan!

"What's the matter?"

"No one else opposed Tadun? Have they forgotten the kindness King Qiu had shown them?"

"These ungrateful people."

After being insulted, Wu Yanyong completely forgot that he had already surrendered to China. The deputy general beside him hurriedly gave him a look and even pulled his clothes.

Wu Yanyong soon understood his current situation. His face turned pale as he knelt down in front of Zhao Yun and Xi Zhicai and said, "I was so sad about my former master's death that I lost control of my emotions. I beg you to forgive me, General."

Zhao Yun, Xi Zhicai did not criticize Wu Yanyong at all, but smiled and shook his head: "What's wrong with General Wu Yan?"

"We spared your life because of your loyalty. You are willing to sacrifice your life for Wuhuan. When one day you identify with China, you can also sacrifice your life for China."

Wu Yanyong was in a better mood. No matter how much he resisted China, he was still happy that his loyalty was recognized.

"General, military advisor, can you tell me what the situation in the Stone Country is like?"

Zhao Yun and Xi Zhicai did not exaggerate at all, but told the whole situation of Shi Kingdom in detail.

After hearing this, Wu Yanyong's face became even more angry: "Tadun is so scheming. He actually used the people around King Loulan to assassinate him."

"That cup of poisoned wine was definitely prepared by Bu Shan, and he kept it a secret from the king."

"Otherwise, if the king knew that the wine was poisoned, why would he drink it?"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "That's my judgment too."

"It's a pity that Bu Shan was killed on the spot by Tadun, which means that no one else knows the whole story."

"Although this method of killing and silencing people may not be considered brilliant, it is useful enough."

"Plus, Tadun later showed his strength as a celestial general, and no one could stop him from ascending the throne of the Wuhuan King."

"It's a pity that Loulan died so tragically."

"Because of your involvement, he had no choice but to compromise with Tadun at the critical moment, and ultimately fell into Tadun's trap."

"If Qiu Liju knew these things, he would regret adopting Tadun and even more regret teaching him so many skills."

"Okay, I've already told you about this. Now that the Stone Country has undergone tremendous changes, our plans also need to change."

"I won't bother General Wuyan anymore!"

"General Zilong, let's go!!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back (End of this chapter)
