Chapter 23: A Thousand Miles Raid The Erotic(1/2)
Shanyu royal court.
"Why is this happening?"
In the king's tent, everyone was quiet, with only the charcoal fire remaining. The flames were spreading their teeth and claws, just like the violent hidden in this quiet atmosphere. Maodun sat alone on his White Tiger Throne, without saying a word, but frowned.
The old shaman stood beside the Maodun throne, his eyes cold, as if he wanted to find out what was going on.
Everyone in the tent was attracted by the boxes displayed before the throne, to be precise, the things contained in the boxes.
There was a gift inside, a gift from King Zuo Guli today.
The wolf girl Nomin looked at the old shaman and asked, "Old shaman, are you sure?"
He nodded and said, "There is no mistake. This is my subordinate. But now, he is already a dead person."
"Did King Zuo Guli still rebelled after all?"
Maodun laughed, looked at King Xiu Tu who was standing in the tent with a string, and said, "I thought your brother was just a reckless man, but I didn't expect that he would still want to be a plow on this grassland."
"Please forgive me for my sins."
The fat King Xiu Tu knelt down and apologized in panic.
"I don't mean to blame you. You are still the Xiu Tu King of my Huns. This will not change."
"Thank you, Shanyu." King Xiu Tu thanked him with his fat trembling flesh.
Shanyu's leisurely words dispelled the haze gathered in the tent, but Maodun's minister still couldn't feel relaxed.
King Zuo Guli's move is undoubtedly declaring war on the Xiongnu royal court.
Since Maodun became the Shanyu and took over the power of the Huns, the largest civil war in the history of the Huns may be not far away.
"There is no other way, gather troops!"
Maodun stood up and said with a calm expression.
"Wait, Shanyu, this matter is too suspicious." The old shaman stopped him. "Why did King Zuo Guli do this? Even if he defected to Donghu, I can understand."
Maodun stopped, shook his head, and said, "There is no time anymore. According to the time he delivered the boxes, at most two days, his 30,000 cavalry will be here. Once the royal court is lost, my majesty as the Shanyu will be seriously affected. What is important is that if the time of this battle is delayed too long, it will be a devastating blow to me, the Huns. Don't forget that both the Qin army and the Donghu are eyeing each other."
"But" the old shaman wanted to stop him, but at the beginning, he couldn't continue.
He also understood that Maodun was all about facts. If the 30,000 chaotic troops could not be pacified as soon as possible, the production of the Huns would be greatly hit.
However, the old shaman was still uneasy.
I can't tell why, but what he could think of was the fake Tuobayue.
The moon was faint. After the temptation that day, the old shaman once again walked into Tuobayue's tent.
On the round platform in the center of the tent, Tuobayue opened her eyes and said, "Look at your brows, but what happened?"
"King Zuo Guli has rebelled!"
The old shaman said, his face full of wrinkles huddled together. He looked at Tuobayue, and even though he felt confused, he still looked forward to getting an answer from the woman in front of him.
But she was disappointed, and the woman in front of her was quite calm. The look of being invincible with the world was like a look on a statue of a god, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with it.
The old shaman left here in disappointment.
Tuobayue looked up and looked up. The clouds left and the moon appeared. The light shone through the skylight on her beautiful face.
The woman smiled and murmured: "Are you finally here? I'm waiting for you here!"
...
"King Zuoguli, there is still a hundred miles away, and we are about to arrive at the royal court."
King Zuo Guli was riding on the horse, and most of the people around him were King You Guli's subordinates.
The long-distance raided, and the troops were temporarily resting, and the accompanying slaves had already begun to build a large tent for the Hun nobles to rest temporarily.
"Mao Dun, our leader is loyal to him. But he sent someone to assassinate the leader. If it weren't for King Zuo Guli, we would have almost deceived him. This time, we must seek justice for the leader." A big man in hard leather armor followed King Zuo Guli and said angrily.
He was a confidant of King Youguli, who was born in the Xiutu tribe and was named Ahuer.
King Zuo Guli shook his head, with a look of regret on his face, "The incident happened suddenly. The killer's martial arts are really strong. I am really ashamed that I couldn't save King You Guli!"
The big tent had been set up, and a crowd surrounded King Zuo Guli and walked in.
The crowd sat in groups. Before the beef and mutton was delivered for lunch, I heard the silence of riots outside the tent.
"These slaves are not honest again."
There were a large number of slaves accompanying the Huns, who were generally responsible for chores and as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Ahu'er said with a look of discomfort, walking out of the tent, wanting to teach them a lesson and make these slaves more honest.
But when he returned to the tent, his face changed drastically and he said in a panic: "Mao Dun is calling!"
"What!" The Hun generals in the tent stood up suddenly. They didn't expect that Maodun would come so quickly.
Only King Zuo Guli, who was sitting in the main seat, looked motionless and said, "Everyone, go and control the troops under your command immediately, so as not to let them be confused."
"yes!"
The crowd hurriedly walked out, and King Zuo Guli ordered to the chief guard beside him: "Go and summon the troops under my command and gather immediately to stand by."
After everyone walked out, a sneer appeared on King Zuo Guli's face.
"Shanyu, they are in chaos."
The wolf girl Nuomin followed Maodun and said.
On the high slope, Maodun looked down at the battlefield below with his confidants.
Maodun's army was led by the commander Duoyan Boba, and unexpectedly launched a raid on the 30,000 rebels, and the rebel camp was in chaos.
Relying on the advantage of numbers, Maodun's army split the 30,000 rebels into more than a dozen, and each fought for his own battle.
"Is King Zuo Guli so careless?"
Kleon said that such a person has too much strength and his ambitions.
The war was as Maodun thought. Although King Zuo Guli could control King You Guli's troops, he had no cooperation and was just a group of mobs.
His sharp eyes were patrolling the battlefield. Maodun, the powerful generals under King Youguli, knew that the flags of their tribe were flying on the battlefield.
But the only thing I didn’t see was the culprit of this rebellion, King Zuo Guli!
Maodun still had doubts in his heart and needed him to answer.
"Cryon, take your brother to find King Zuoguli."
“Yes, Shanyu!”
Cryon and his brothers were now like mercenaries, and were hired by Maodun and obeyed his orders.
The battle lasted for an hour, and the 30,000 rebels fled and the captured and the war had basically stabilized.
Under his personal guards, Maodun arrived at the big tent where King Zuo Guli was located.
Cryon and his spearmen surrounded the entire tent, including hundreds of knights who were guarding King Zuoguli who were vowing to resist to the death around the tent.
Clyon waved his hand, and the soldiers holding the spear made way and let Maodun walk in.
"I will kill the troops that were about to gather around King Zuo Guli, and only these hundreds of people are left."
Maodun nodded and said, "Tell me the King of Zuo Guli, as long as he is willing to surrender, I will not kill him, and you don't have to become slaves."
"Let me go in and report!" said the chief guard of King Zuo Guli, separated the guards behind him and walked into the tent.
Not long after, he stumbled out, looking embarrassed, but his face seemed dementia.
In his situation, let alone a sudden silence, even the guards on King Zuo Guli's own side noticed something was wrong.
Maodun stepped forward, grabbed the head guard's collar, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Zuo...King Guli is gone!"
"What!" Maodun pushed away the guard commander and rushed into the tent with the wolf girl and Clyon.
This time, no one stopped them again.
In the empty tent, only the charcoal fire was still burning, and there was no more movement.
Silence, terrible silence.
Maodun wanted to resolve his doubts, but he only got a deeper mystery.
The personal guards of King Zuo Guli outside the tent saw the empty tent and quickly surrendered.
"Shanyu, we have captured a lot of rebel leaders."
At this time, Duoyanbo walked in and said.
However, the big tent that seemed broken and messy because of the hundreds of King Zuo Guli's personal guards cut with their swords and the shock left on Maodun and others' faces made the warrior a little confused.
“Bring them.”
More than a dozen rebel leaders were quickly brought in. At this time, the big tent was airtight and could hardly cover up anything.
Most of the rebel leaders knelt on the ground, their faces turned gray, and there was only one person who was tied up and kneeled on the ground, and they still glared at Maodun.
