The wind suddenly rose, and the sky was full of sand and dust. Hu Wang Moke, who almost stepped through Yanshan in a windswept manner, led his army to a temporary halt. Because, less than 100 miles ahead, it is Jicheng.

In the north at such a time of year, it is common to have such windy weather. Even a sandstorm that obscures the sky is nothing unusual. And for the Hu people, who live in a harsh climate all year round, they have long been accustomed to such a life. Even when eating, I don't care if I have half a tael of sand in my mouth.

Hu Wang Moke stopped the army from advancing, naturally not because of the sudden change in the weather. Such weather had little effect on the Predators' fighting operations, and even if the wind blew their eyes, they could still kill people on horseback. The reason why he ordered the army to set up camp was only because of the need for a final general mobilization before a major war. In other words, it is to demarcate the areas that can be plundered by his fierce generals, so as to save the time to loot indiscriminately, and then fight with his own people.

This has happened many times before. The Hu army, like a pack of wolves, was swept away wherever it passed. But in addition to victory, often because of the competition for wealth or population, the Hu people rob each other, and even draw swords against each other. And the respective generals have taken a blind eye to this. As long as things don't get too serious, they will just smile smugly and watch their subordinates get more money back. Of course, there are times when there is bloodshed and hurts people, and even slashes and kills each other. In the end, it was difficult for King Hu to feel a headache.

Although Hu Wang Moke is known as the greatest king of the grassland, he is fierce and abnormal, and he is ruthless and fearsome. But he also has a lot of things that he can't do. In fact, the entire steppe army is not monolithic, but composed of more than a dozen tribes of different sizes. Some of these tribes are stronger, while others are weaker. The law of the jungle is their law of survival. Although they are common people, it is often difficult to avoid them.

As the king of the steppes, Moko tried to be as fair as possible to his subordinates who obeyed his will for the sake of his majesty. In terms of benefit distribution, facing these rude and untamable guys is inevitably nerve-wracking. Especially this time, almost all the forces of the steppe were mobilized, and the brave warriors of the tribe, regardless of the size of the clan, went out with them. If he achieves a great victory in the near future, it will not only raise his prestige to the extreme, but also a severe test for King Hu.

If there is a war between the tribes on the steppe because of the uneven distribution of benefits, the consequences are likely to be even more serious than the war against the princes of the Central Plains. So, he had to be cautious.

It was with this in mind that he ordered a dozen generals who commanded the army to come to his cowhide tent. These generals, who represented the interests of their respective clans, stood in front of him and listened to the king's patient explanations.

The camp is stationed on a high place, and if the weather is clear, the walls of Jicheng can be seen from here. Now the sky is full of sand and dust, and as far as the eye can see, it is only a hundred feet away, so naturally you will not see anything. But the mood was still high. Because, after fighting non-stop for more than half a month, I can finally take off my armor and rest my horse temporarily. Moreover, to the delight of the generals, King Hu actually prepared spirits to entertain them.

The Hu people's banquet has never been so exquisite, and you can eat and drink casually by sitting down in the grass. As twilight fell, the wind gradually stopped. A fire had already risen in the open space outside the tent, and the prey captured by the samurai was piled up beside it, and the shirtless men skinned the flesh and roasted it on the fire. Soon, the aroma of barbecued meat fills the surrounding area, making it appetizing.

And when the bags of wine were brought up, more than a dozen rugged men were already sitting on the ground, and Hu Wang Moke waved his hand, each with a bag of spirits in his hand, eating meat and drinking wine in large pieces, which was very lively for a while.

The men on the grassland are rough and arrogant by nature, no matter how big the matter, they always eat and drink enough first.

"King! Everyone has already heard that there is a lot of wealth in the old Yan King City in front of you! Hahaha...... You're going to get rich this time, right? ”

A burly man threw away the wine bag he had drunk and grabbed another bag. The wine on the prairie is bitter and strong, and it is very spicy in the mouth. But it's just to their taste. The long knife of the fierce horse, the wind is facing you, it is a good time to kill!

"That's nature! Also stabbing the general can rest assured. The intelligence is accurate. Jicheng not only has a large population, but also a large amount of wealth accumulated by merchants from the south to the north, and in such a short period of time, they have no time to transfer. Hahaha...... As long as we all work together, it won't be long before everything in this city is ours!"

Mo Ke looked up to the sky and laughed, looking very proud. He was not at all worried about the success or failure of the war. In his opinion, as long as there is enough interest to drive, there is no need for him to urge him at all, and these guys under his command will naturally rush to fight. Perhaps, the only thing he needs to worry about is how to balance the benefits of everyone.

The general who was guaranteed was overjoyed. He jumped to his feet, clapped his hand on his chest and exclaimed.

"If that's the case, then this winter, the people of the tribe will not have to worry about food and clothing. This is all the king's command! Don't worry, as long as you give an order, Jicheng will be broken in the near future!"

The other generals did not lag behind, shouting and shouting one after another. Already at this time, no one will doubt victory. Immediately afterwards, the Huqi warriors who were resting also followed suit. They drew their swords and roared in the sky. Thousands of troops, echoing from far and near, as if the whole land was ignited by this emotion. The momentum was terrifying.

King Hu was very satisfied with the combat enthusiasm under his command. He waved his hand calmly, and everyone sat down again, continuing to drink generously. And Hu Wang Moke glanced at the envoy of King Qin who was sitting beside him, and said with some pride.

"Did you see it? With the combat power of these steppe warriors, why not?! Li Mu Xiao'er wanted to defend the lonely city with 80,000 troops...... What is the saying of you Central Plains people? Ah yes! The mantis arm is a car, not self-sufficient! Hahaha!"

King Qin's envoy Wang Jun didn't drink, and he only touched his lips slightly in the face of the persuasion of a few reckless men from the grassland just now. If someone else had done this, he would have been beaten into a pig's head a long time ago. But because of King Hu's courtesy to him, even if these grassland generals were not satisfied, they didn't dare to go too far. Hearing King Hu speak, Wang Jun owed his body to express his respect for him. After coming to the Prairie Army for so many days, he saw with his own eyes the bravery and ferocity of these guys. He had secretly compared that even if it was a powerful Qin cavalry, if they fought with them on equal terms, they might not be opponents.

Wang Jun's face was silent, but he was secretly worried in his heart. This time, he obeyed the king's order and came to the north, and he shouldered two responsibilities. The first thing is naturally to liaise with the Hu army in order to achieve the purpose of the two armies fighting together. Another secret mission is to secretly observe Hu Qi's combat effectiveness. Because all the ministers and generals from the king of Qin down know very well that if the Zhao army is defeated and destroyed in the near future, then if the Qin state wants to unify the world, the most powerful and direct threat is the grassland barbarians.

Now it looks like these barbarian guys are really powerful! Wang Jun was surprised, but his face was full of smiles, he poured a full glass of wine, and held it up to congratulate Hu Wang Moke.

"The king is mighty! The Hu warriors are mighty! This wine is first dried in the next as a respect. ”

When he had finished speaking, he craned his neck and drank it all. Although the spicy meaning in his chest was very uncomfortable, he forcibly clasped his fists and saluted around. King Hu and the generals were really happy. The previous dissatisfaction with his non-drinking was suddenly gone. Someone came over and patted him on the shoulder, laughing and saying.

"Expensive for a good amount of wine! Sure enough, he is qualified to be a friend of the steppe warriors. In that case, stay with the king and see how we attack the city!" ”

Wang Jun smiled and nodded. Then he clapped his palms, and a retinue approached from a distance and nodded to him. The envoy of the Qin State turned to King Hu and said again.

"In order to express our sincere cooperation with the king, our Qin army specially sent someone to arrange everything in advance. Hehe, the king and the generals may not know yet, right? Within Jicheng, there is a force that can be used for a long time. If the king can agree to their conditions, and wait until the day when the grassland army will attack the city, they will join forces inside and outside, and sacrifice the city gate, and Jicheng will be able to get it!"

The noise fell silent, and everyone could hear it clearly. Hu Wang Moke Huo Ran got up and grabbed the messenger's sleeve, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Of course that's good! I heard that the walls of Jicheng are tall and strong, and if you forcibly attack the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to avoid a large number of casualties. While the warriors are not afraid of death, I certainly don't want them to lose their lives...... Who are the people in the city? What conditions do they have, come and hear it!"

"They have sent men out of the city, and they are waiting there...... Your Majesty, you might as well summon me and ask for it. ”

"Good! Bring someone over right away. Give wine!"

So, half an hour later, the representative of the secret force in the city stood in front of King Hu. After generously drinking the spirits, several people expressed their intentions directly.

"Great King, we are all the descendants of the nobles of the Yan royal family! I have been waiting too long for the hatred of the country. After the king enters Jicheng, he only needs to promise to hand over all the captured Zhao people and Li Mu to us...... We are going to go to the old palace to cut out the hearts of the Zhao people and pay tribute to the first king!"

"What's so hard about that? I'm not just going to grant you that. It will also help you establish the Yan Kingdom again and restore the glory of the royal family! Hahaha!"

Hu Wang Moke stood on a high place, looking at the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains in the distance, and his heart was full of pride. Who says barbarians don't have great ambitions? Zhao Guo saw that it was about to end, and he needed to raise a puppet who obeyed the will of the grassland to negotiate conditions with the people of Qin!
