The Goguryeo lord almost trotted all the way to the entrance of the camp.
He saw an emissary standing there and hastily said, with a few flattering words.
“Lord of Goguryeo, meet the messenger!”
He was thinking of asking the man next to him to translate, but he did not expect the other man to say back, with a little arrogance, in the Great Qin language.
“Well, meet the lord of the kingdom.”
He couldn’t help but stare for a moment, but didn’t care too much, since he was an emissary and knew Great Qin, it wasn’t unusual.
Although the other party’s arrogance irritated him a little, there was nothing he could do about it.
Who let him beg for help?
Hastily, he laughed and said.
“Please invite the messenger inside, we have prepared good wine.”
He also knew that these Hu people loved to drink.
The messenger nodded, then walked forward.
At this point the Goguryeo lord whispered to Wei Yi, who had followed him, that
“Where is Mr. Zhang Li? Go quickly and call him here!”
This kind of negotiation is exactly what the Zongheng family is good at.
Wei Yi returned.
“Sir he has gone back to his tent and has said that no one is to be disturbed.”
The Goguryeo lord sighed with hatred, he knew that the other side must be delving into that golden elixir again!
Still wanting to say something, the East Hu messenger walking in front of him said that
“What are you waiting for, Lord of the State? I don’t have that much time!”
The lord of Goguryeo could only accompany him with a smile and hurry to follow.
The two went straight to the tent, and after they had taken their seats separately, the Goguryeo State Lord said with a smile that
“The messenger please drink, this is my lord’s private collection, it is extremely good.”
But the Hu messenger did not give any face and said.
“I have important business to attend to, and am not in a position to drink, so the lord of the kingdom should put said business as soon as possible.”
But the lord of the house had told them that they should drink and not ride, and ride and not drink.
If you find one beating, you will not be tolerated.
The Goguryeo were already extremely uncomfortable after having two in a row, but they had to bow down when they were under the roof.
Against his will, he complimented the
“The messenger is indeed faithful to his duty.”
And then quickly said that
“We have now taken the Wall, and this wall can no longer be a hindrance to the nobility.”
“It is only now that we have encountered some small resistance and need this… A little assistance.”
“I wonder when your clan’s five thousand cavalry will arrive?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if we exterminated these little thieves as soon as possible and then divided Liaodong equally?”
Hearing these words, a hint of imperceptible disdain flashed in the eyes of the messenger, and then said, with a broad grin
“Hmph, if it was really just a small resistance, would you and the others have wasted so much time for nothing?”
The Goguryeo lord’s face instantly flushed, for the other party was indeed right.
The messenger continued.
“And without further ado, if I want our assistance, so be it.”
“We have made a long journey and have reached beyond the Wall, and can come in at once.”
“But the provisions are nearly exhausted, give us all the supplies you have plundered these days!”
“When you engage the other side, we will then support them from the flank.”
“Hmph, the lives of our Hu warriors are precious!”
Hearing these conditions from the other side, the Goguryeo lord’s heart itched with hatred!
This Hu people, they were asking his men to die and attract the other side’s attention.
Then he could kill the other side from the side.
But there was nothing he could do, who let the other side be cavalry.
He could only squeeze out a smile and say that
“Messenger, we don’t have much of these provisions and supplies.”
The messenger said with a touch of impatience that
“When we have won this battle, how much supplies do you want without?”
“But if we don’t win the fight, what’s the use of you being stuck here?”
The Goguryeo lord was speechless at the words, just making a last ditch effort to
“Messenger, you can’t take these things away even if they are given to you.”
But the messenger laughed and
“No matter, we have already brought someone here.”
Seeing that the other side had been prepared, the Goguryeo lord could only say that
“Well then, my lord will go and get these things ready now.”
The envoy rose at once and said.
“Very well then, I will wait for you outside!”
“Once the stuff is delivered, we’ll move, so it’s up to you to decide how fast or slow this will be.”
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Seeing how arrogant and rude the other party was, the Goguryeo lord said with hatred that
“These things that don’t know how to be polite!”
Having vented his displeasure, the Goguryeo lord immediately frowned and said to Wei Yi, who was on his side.
“What are you still standing there for!”
“Hurry up and get the supplies ready! The sooner we give them these things, the sooner we can finish the damned ones!”
Hell knows what that bunch is!
Call them the Qin army, but they don’t even have a flag.
Say they were county soldiers.
Which county soldiers could have such bows?
Wei Yi hesitated for a rare moment at this time, then said that
“Lord, we’re just going to hand over all the supplies?”
“In case we can’t beat them…”
Without waiting for him to finish his sentence, the Lord of Goguryeo said grumpily that
“What a dead-eyed man! Don’t you know how to secretly leave a bit of supplies?”
“Just enough for my lord’s elite!”
“Besides, how can you not be able to fight! If you can’t talk, talk less!”
He only had a heart for money, but never felt he would lose.
After all, they could have 70,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry!
How many men did the other side have?
How could they lose?
After being scolded, Wei Yi retreated unhappily, for he should have known better than to talk too much.
Although it sounded like they had an absolute advantage now.
But for some reason, when he thought of Zhao Lang, he felt that the other party must have planned everything long ago.
Hiding in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
Moreover, there was something wrong with this Hu Ren emissary.
When did the Hu people become so eloquent?
Walking outside the tent, Wei Yi gave a somewhat worried glance at the direction the Hu emissary had left, and then went to prepare the supplies.
At the same time, he also arranged his own retreat, so that if things went wrong, he would slip away!
Soon, he had the supplies ready, and had originally put them all together.
All the way to the place where the Hu emissary had given his account, only to find that there were actually hundreds of people here and they knew nothing about it.
Sure enough, the mobility of cavalry is not comparable to that of infantry.
When they had finished handing over the supplies, the Hu emissary gave these men a somewhat disdainful look and said that
“The house master was indeed right, no matter what one asks for, they will always agree.”
“Just these people still want to fight with the family master? A bunch of things that don’t know how to live! ”
“Give these supplies to the family lord as a gift!”
They had already received the letter sent by Zhao Lang and acted in accordance with the explanation above.
Anyway, this time, none of these brutes would be able to escape!
Just as he was thinking, a small leader of the Hu people at one side said that
“Brother Erhei, don’t be dumbfounded, let’s hurry to find the family head.”
This Hu leader was none other than Erhei.
Erhei nodded his head and said that
“Got it, remember to take a detour, and keep an eye out so that the other side doesn’t see it.”
“Let’s go now! Let’s go!”
And he hadn’t seen the family head in ages!
Soon, the group moved off, heading in the direction of Zhao Lang’s camp.
It was late afternoon in Zhao Long’s camp.
At this time, the whole camp was a smoky mess of cooking, and on each fire was hanging an earthenware pot with food cooking in it.
These were the tools that ordinary people used for cooking.
In it were cooked vermicelli with potatoes, some salt and a little dried meat, a rare delicacy.
Everyone ate extremely comfortably.
But in a tent in one corner of the camp, where two or three tiers of solemn-looking guards were standing at the moment, there was no trace of smoke or fire.
Zhao Lang looked at several large wooden boxes stacked in front of him, with Su standing right beside him, and said that
“House Master, time is urgent, mainly because we are also afraid of collisions on the way, we only had time to transport so much gunpowder over.”
“There are probably about five hundred pounds.”
“But we also brought nearly a hundred pieces of ‘justice’ with us.”
She wouldn’t, and wouldn’t dare, give them to Big Dog to use without Zhao Lang.
If they weren’t familiar with them, all it would take was one spark to send all their own people away.
Hearing this figure, Zhao Lang narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile that
“That’s about right.”
They weren’t much, probably not even close to what a fireworks factory in his previous life, produced in a day.
Trying to use them to completely kill those tens of thousands of people on the other side was certainly not possible.
But to use them to crush the other side, it would definitely be enough.
This was because this was the first time in the whole of Great Qin that such things had been used on such a large scale.
The loud noise produced by it, and the firelight that it produced, shocked ordinary people in a way that no other weapon could do.
But Su hesitated for a moment at this time, saying that
“But Master of the house, how are we to use them?”
They were not like ‘Justice’ grenades, which could only be filled with bamboo tubes and then thrown into a fire to ignite.
Or use gunpowder as a trigger, which is not convenient to use.
Zhao Lang said with a smile.
“Fill them up with bamboo tubes, one for a pound, then bury them in advance, use the gunpowder as a trigger and just wait for them to walk in on their own.”
He was going to create a minefield!
It was just a matter of controlling the timing; gunpowder as a fuse was susceptible to moisture and to being stepped on and other factors.
But it’s not a big problem, as long as it’s dense enough, they will have a chain reaction with each other.
This time it was the turn of the big dog on the sidelines to be confused and
“House Master, how can the others listen to us?”
The family head’s idea was good, but why should the other side do what they wanted?
If they didn’t come, all this gunpowder would be wasted.
Zhao Lang revealed a smile and was about to reply when Big Cat suddenly ran in and shouted that
“Master, Erhei and the others are here! They’ve brought a lot of food and supplies with them!”
Zhao Long instantly laughed and said
“Look, here comes the one who made the other side listen.”
“Go, come with me to pick up Erhei.”
Su took the initiative and stayed behind, directing the men to load the gunpowder separately.
Big Dog wanted to stay too, but was glared back at by her.
He had to follow Zhao Lang to the entrance of the camp, and saw Erhei, dressed as a Hu.
“House Master!”
The moment he saw Zhao Lang, Erhei excitedly ran towards the other man!
The other teenagers followed suit and ran over.
They were various big and small leaders in the Heavenly God Tribe and could suffer hardships, but here in Zhao Lang, they could take off all their defences.
When Zhao Long saw the teenagers on the farm, he did not rush to ask about the soldiers and horses, let alone care about the food and supplies Erhei and the others had brought.
Instead, he said with a smile.
“They have all grown taller and stronger, very good.”
Hearing Zhao Lang’s praise, Erhei and the others all smiled and showed their white grinning teeth.
It took a while before they looked back and then said, with a bit of braggadocio
“Clan Master, we brought five thousand Hu cavalry over this time, as well as bringing back all those looted grains as well!”
“They should only have a few days of rations left now!”
Zhao Lang nodded as he listened, in that case, the other side only had the option of attacking them by force!
Then, they could set the battlefield wherever they wanted to!
“Well done! Go, come with me to the tent and have a good talk.”
After praising a few people once again, Zhao Lang led the men to his tent.
As for the food supplies and other things, Chen Ping naturally went back to make arrangements, so he didn’t need to worry about everything.
Only when he arrived at the tent did Zhao Long start asking questions about the specific situation.
“Family head, now that Xi and the others have arrived outside the Great Wall, they can come in at any time.”
“Now the Huns have not been very peaceful lately, and it’s not good to come over as they go to Death Brother to guard the royal court.”
Hearing Hei’s name, Zhao Lang couldn’t help but look at Xiao Liu who was at one side, and Xiao Liu’s old face flushed and looked away.
Waiting for Erhei to explain the situation, Zhao Long only nodded his head and said that
“Well, this time, the war matter is sooner rather than later.”
“You will send a message to the Lord of Goguryeo tomorrow, telling them to take the initiative to attack us in two days.”
“Tell Xi to divide the cavalry into two parts, four thousand men to move with you, and he to take a thousand men and chase them around the perimeter of the Great Wall when the enemy army is routed!”
Soon, Zhao Lang had made his arrangements, and Erhei and the other teenagers of course took note of them one by one.
“Alright, it’s getting late now, so you guys rest early, you have to catch up in the morning.”
Zhao Long got up at this time, ready to send a few people back to rest, just as he had done before at the manor, as a bed check.
Only when several people got up, Chen Ping hurriedly came over and said with a bit of anxiety that
“Master, there’s a row outside.”
Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows and said.
“What’s all the noise?”
This place was basically all his people, so there shouldn’t be any arguments with each other.
Chen Ping gave Erhei a few people a somewhat difficult look and said that
“It’s those Hu people, who quarrelled with those of us who went to receive the grain and supplies.”
Chen Ping quickly finished what had happened.
It was not a big deal, just a little conflict when receiving supplies, plus the language barrier.
So there was a quarrel.
Zhao Lang frowned slightly.
Hearing this, Erhei, who was on the side, said with a red face
“Family head, those brats don’t know any better, I’ll go teach them a lesson!”
Having made such a fool of himself here in the house master meant that he could not control the Hu people, and he felt his face heat up.
But Zhao Lang said at this time that
“It’s fine for you to go, but no scolding them! Take them to rest, that’s an order!”
“Keep some of the supplies for now, too.”
Although Erhei didn’t know why, but seeing the seriousness of Zhao Lang’s words, he had no choice but to agree unhappily, but in his heart he had already made up his mind that when he returned, he would drill them hard!
Only then did he lead the men away.
It didn’t take long for Chen Ping to rejoin Zhao Lang’s tent.
“Master, Erhei and the others have taken the men away, there is nothing more wrong.”
Zhao Lang nodded blandly and
“It’s normal to have a little friction with each other, don’t expand it.”
Chen Ping heard this, but hesitated for a moment, and then said that
“My Lord, there is a word, I don’t know if I should say it?”
“Speak.”
“Although these Hu people are your people, after all, if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different!”
There are still great differences between the Hu and the Chinese, and there is a certain natural discord between the two sides.
Zhao Lang also knew that Chen Ping was worried that afterwards, if the Hu people grew stronger, they would likewise invade the Great Qin.
But he already had a way to deal with it, and said blandly that
“It doesn’t matter, after the war starts, you won’t have to worry about it.”
Chen Ping was a little confused.
The day after tomorrow, when we go to war with the Goguryeo rebel army, won’t we mainly have to rely on these Hu cavalry to win? Let the other side see that we are at a disadvantage.
In that case, it’s all the more reason to worry!
Zhao Long laughed without explaining.
Only after Chen Ping had left did he sigh slightly, he was still thinking a bit too much of himself, the Hu people were such a big force, and it wasn’t that easy for a single Tian Shen tribe, which had been established for such a short time, to swallow an elephant by a snake.
Now I am afraid that the days of going to hell are not too good, it is difficult for him.
Of course, he was not worried about the 5,000 Hu cavalry that Erhei had brought over.
The day after tomorrow, this position of God of Heaven, he will take it down too!
The Great Qin was also the place of refuge of the God of Heaven.
With this name here, the Hu people would not dare to have any other thoughts.
As the night passed, Erhei and the others left the place with Zhao Lang’s orders.
Zhao Lang’s camp was also busy. The camp’s protection was rudimentary, but it was at least able to withstand the other side.
Soon, the Lord of Goguryeo also received the news and said with a bit of excitement that
“Wei Yi! Tell the men to bring out all the food! Make sure everyone is well fed for the next two days! Get your strength up! Prepare to attack!”
He had not expected that these Hu people would give the news so quickly and prepare for an attack.
But in any case, it was good for him!
On the side, Wei Yi looked at the Goguryeo lord’s excited look, but for some reason he felt a little familiar.
In the next instant, he thought of the scene before the Third Prince was killed by Zhao Lang back then.
It was also so smug, and it also felt like everything was under control.
But in the end, he ended up with a dead body.
Swallowing hard, Wei Yi quickly left.
Not long after, a cheer rang out throughout the camp.
Hearing the cheers outside, the Lord of Goguryeo could not help but reveal a hint of pride and said to Zhang Li, who was standing by, that
“Sir, how is my lord’s arrangement this time?”
Zhang Li actually felt slightly wrong, but now was the time when he needed resources to refine the Golden Pill, so he could not care less and said with a smile.
“My lord is wise! ”
Only then did the Lord of Goguryeo reveal a smile.
In the next few moments, the Lord of the Goguryeo Kingdom sent out spies to find the other side, following his previous experience.
Then early that morning, he was informed by a Hu messenger that a flanking raid was ready.
At once he set off with all his men.
This time, he was going to press on with his whole army, he had the advantage of numbers, so that the other side could not look after all, and then it was time for the Hu cavalry to move out!
One word to crush the other side!
Get Liaodong!
To achieve what our fathers have never achieved, to open up the frontier!
He will go down in history!
The mere thought of it makes the Lord of Goguryeo tremble with excitement!
As he marched along, Goguryeo came upon the improvised camp of the other side.
There were some wooden fences around the perimeter, but it didn’t matter, they could be cleared by manpower, just a few more deaths!
“Attack!”
The Goguryeo lord ordered fiercely.
Soon, four squads of 10,000 men were forced by the State Lord’s direct army to head towards the camp, from different directions.
At this moment, Zhao Lang was not in the camp.
Instead, he was off to the side with hundreds of his own cavalry.
Looking at the opposing party of 10,000 men huddled together, at that moment, Hu Hai, who was on one side, said
“Brother Long, these people are just huddled together on?”
He had only arrived yesterday, he didn’t have the physical strength of Zhao Lang, he had got off the boat at the pier and rested for two days before arriving here.
The same was true of the King of Wei and the King of Qi.
Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but comment on it, he had at least read a lot of military books recently.
Zhao Lang, however, was not surprised and explained blandly that
“These people are not warriors, they are just like beasts that gather together to have the courage to attack.”
“But that’s good.”
The more concentrated the people, then the more powerful the explosion will be when the time comes!
Zhao Lang looked at the location where the Goguryeo lord was at this time, thinking if he could do a wave of decapitation.
This way the other side could be routed a little faster.
His own casualties would also be less.
At this point, the Goguryeo lord also spotted the small group of cavalrymen who were alone out there.
Wasn’t it because he had seen the other side that he was closing his troops?
Only once, he did not panic at all and gave a grim smile.
Then looking towards the north, a black line of cavalry soon appeared before everyone’s eyes.
There was absolutely no intention of hiding his tracks.
For even if they had seen it, there was nowhere to run!
This is the power of the cavalry!
At the sight of the Hu, the Goguryeo lord even waved his hand extremely flatteringly at the other side, a sign of his friendship.
It was also a demonstration to others.
Erhei and Xi stood at the front with their cavalry, and looking at the Goguryeo lord waving his hand, Xi said with some disgust that
“Just this kind of goods, how dare you want the family lord’s Liaodong?”
Erhei shrugged his shoulders and said
“Who knows, and doesn’t this fool see that our cavalry is all going at their backs?”
Xi also shook his head a little incomprehensibly, but he quickly thought of something else and asked
“I heard some of the brothers say that you had a confrontation with the house master’s men in the camp?”
Erhei frowned at this and nodded his head, saying
“A few of the outside tribesmen, couldn’t part with those supplies.”
They, the people of the Heavenly God tribe, were still completely obedient.
But the Heavenly God Tribe, now as the king’s court, had many more people, otherwise they could not afford to put out these five thousand cavalrymen.
The men are naturally mixed up and less cohesive than before.
Xi also frowned; this was indeed a tricky problem, and he quickly said that
“Never mind, when these people are settled, the family head will naturally have a solution.”
“For now, buck up!”
Suddenly, with a slight flicker, Xi said that
“Huh, why is the family head charging alone!”
At this moment, Zhao Lang was holding his killing wolf high in the air, with an extremely arrogant stance, charging towards a 10,000 man squad on his own initiative!
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.
No one believed that Zhao Lang could defeat ten thousand people with one!
As long as the other side dared to come, they would tear Zhao Lang to pieces!
Sure enough, not far away, Zhao Lang stopped.
Then he took out a small bamboo tube from his waist.
After lighting it up, he threw it towards the feet of this 10,000-strong group.
Everyone was bewildered, not knowing what this man was up to.
At this time, Zhao Lang raised the Killing Wolf and pointed it at the location where this 10,000-strong team was.
In the next instant!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A loud bang accompanied by flames that shot up to the clouds!
It was like divine punishment!
Seeing this scene, Hu Hai, who was not far away, was stunned and had only one thought in his mind.
Damn, Brother Long is pretending to behave without me!
