I’m The King

Helanxiong sat on the hill with his knees hugged. On his left, there were nearly a thousand big tents of the Helan tribe. The Huns were defeated. After the grassland turmoil, all the Helan tribe moved to the vicinity of the Curie Pass. What a huge loss, it was just that the number of fighters was drastically reduced, and now, they could barely gather four hundred horses.

And what makes He Lanxiong sad is the rapid decline of the Huns. In just a year, a Huns who can easily gather 100,000 horses has disappeared. The rest is just looting and killing for survival. These days Come, the sentry he sent out will bring such news every day. One tribe after another disappeared into the long river of history, not only the small tribes, but even some large tribes are also facing a dilemma. In the first battle against Qin, the powerful tribe suffered even more serious losses. Normally, it is easy to gather most of the thousands of horses. Now it is not bad to gather one or two thousand horses. Such a large part naturally loses a lot of respect, although Their current strength on the grassland is still strong, but they no longer have the dominant power they used to have, so that many small tribes also take aim at them. Under the persecution of survival, some small tribes also attacked them one after another, only for the purpose of seizing some cattle, sheep, and food.

As the general of Qin State Li Xin expected, he was no different. After destroying the Xiongnu court, the grassland lost its restrictions. All the rules and restrictions no longer existed. The Huns began the most cruel cannibalism. , The strength is further reduced.

Although the Helan Bud has avoided this life and death tribulation, He Lanxiong can't be happy. Some are just sad, disappointed and confused. Where is the future of Helan Bu?

If he enters the grassland now, he is afraid that nothing will be left in the blink of an eye.

He Lanxiong, who feels that he is at the end of his life, spends the whole day drinking and pouring his sorrows.

He raised his neck and poured a large sip of wine, He Lanxiong turned his head and looked towards his right hand. There is the Curie Pass. Although it has entered the night, the Curie Pass is still brightly lit. The former wilderness has now become a large market town. Pieces of wilderness have been reclaimed into fertile fields. At first, some were rescued. The homeless slaves who came out were farming here, and later more and more people gathered here, forming one village after another. And near the Curie Pass, there are continuous workshops on one side. He Lanxiong knows that there are high-end military production bases, arm crossbows, and repeated crossbows used by cavalry, as well as those sharp sabers, and infantry stations. The Modao used are all produced from there. The two-handed holding knife used by the Fufeng Soldier. After another improvement, the two-foot-long blade has a double-sided blade, and the three-foot-long handle is made of fine-strength steel. The total weight reached about 30 jin, and Gao Yuan named it Mo Dao. He Lanxiong had seen Fufeng soldiers marching in with this guy, and the power displayed made him stunned.

And on the other side. It is a row of warehouses, which are all filled with all kinds of goods, and are close to these warehouses. It is just a few shops. With the rise of the Juliguan, the shops here are no longer just merchants from Chima County, Fufeng County. Many merchants from the entire Liaoxi County have set up semicolons here.

But now, they have no business to do. The chaotic situation on the grassland has discouraged all businessmen. No one would joke about their own lives. Going to the grassland for business now is definitely the end of both people and money.

The severance of this trade route also caused He Lanxiong to lose his most important source of financial resources. Right now, he is really sitting and eating the sky. If this goes on, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Helan Department, except for the cattle and sheep, will really become poor and white.

Lying on all sides in the grass and looking up at the stars, He Lanxiong suddenly howled like a wolf until he was hoarse.

Under the hills, there was the sound of horseshoes. He Lanxiong turned a deaf ear. It was not the elders in the clan, or the younger sister was worried about her current state, so she ran over to look at her.

The sound of horses' hoofs stopped on his left side, and footsteps sounded, walking right towards him.

He Lanxiong's closed eyes did not open, "Don't say anything, I just want to vent!" He shouted. "Don't bother me!"

The footsteps stopped, and after a moment of silence, a slightly magnetic male voice sounded, "Brother Helan is really interested, watching the moon and drinking, and screaming loudly, can you let me be with Brother Helan?"

He Lanxiong climbed up, staring at Gao Yuan bathed in starlight, and lost his voice: "Brother Gao, why did you come here? When did you come?"

Gao Yuan laughed and walked to He Lanxiong's side, grabbed the hip flask from him, raised his head and took a big sip, "I arrived tonight and didn't disturb many people. I looked at the workshop and dealt with some urgent tasks. Thinking of going to drink with you, not wanting to go here, but I heard your earth-shaking long howling."

He Lanxiong smiled bitterly, "Brother Gao, I am now at the end of my life. I don't know where the road is?"

"Brother Helan said this?" Gao Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground and shook the jug, but there was not much wine in it. He slapped his hands, followed Gao Yuan behind Tie Xuan and ran up with a cigarette in his hand. Carrying several hip flasks.

"Sit down, Brother Helan, this is the fine wine I searched from Old Wu. It is the first batch of old wine. It was buried under the plum tree at home. There are ten jars in total. I grabbed one jar and packed them all. It's in these two jugs. If we don't finish it today, we can't go back." Gao Yuan smiled and gave one to He Lanxiong.

"Well, if you don't drink it, you won't be finished, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" He Lanxiong took the flask and said loudly. "Come on, Brother Gao, I respect you, you are finally here in all your hardships. Now, you are the general of the East, with nearly 10,000 warriors, and the great power is in front of you. I respect you."

"Thank you." Gao Yuan raised the flask, "No matter where I am, your brother Helan is my best brother. I will never forget that we two struggled to survive two years ago. Circumstances, we can’t forget every moment when we two fight side by side, living and dying."

He Lanxiong took a big drink and smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, we both had nothing, but now, you are the General Zhengdong of the Great Yantang, and I, almost back to the starting point, nothing, no, better than that. The time was worse. At that time, the king's court was still there. Although there were vendettas on the grassland, there were still rules and disciplines. But now, you see, what has become like? Everyone is in danger, and no one dares. Believe it, when the two tribes meet, the most common way to say hello is to draw a knife and desperately, Brother Gao, the Huns are over, and I am over."

He took a big sip of wine for himself, "Brother Gao, you may not know. Today, my sentry came back and told me that the Wu family, the most powerful tribe of the Huns, has decided to move north, and they are going to cross over. Da Mo. Originally I was expecting Wu Shi to stand up and preside over the overall situation. You know, they can still gather five thousand cavalry now. As long as they stand up, it should be able to end the chaos."

Gao Yuan quietly listened to He Lanxiong's words, looked at the heartbroken He Lanxiong, and said softly: "Brother Helan, please forgive me. The patriarch of the Wu clan is a visionary person. Isn't he unable to stand up and call upon him? The Huns ended their cannibalism, but he did not dare."

"He has a tortoise like this, what vision can he have?" He Lanxiong sneered, "He could have become a new generation of Huns, but he gave up."

Gao Yuan took a sip of wine and looked at He Lanxiong, "Brother Helan, do you think the Qin people have spent so much effort for this, and even lost their general Tengyi for this. They will tolerate the Xiongnu to produce another person who can gather the power of the grassland. Will they tolerate the appearance of a new Hun?"

He Lanxiong's body was shocked, looking at Gao Yuan, his eyes were full of unbelievable expressions.

"What the Qin people want is that the Huns have fallen into civil strife from now on. Any tribe who dares to stand up at this time will inevitably be attacked by them. In fact, except for the Qin people, whether it is Zhao or Yan, they will hold this kind of thinking. The Wu clan is now the strongest and will inevitably become the thorn in the eyes of the Central Plains country. The Wu clan leader resolutely decided to cross the desert. It seems dangerous, but it is the only way to protect the entire clan!"

He Lanxiong lowered his head heavily. He was originally a wise man. At this time, he was awakened by Gao Yuan's words. He couldn't help but feel more ashamed. "Brother Gao, are we Huns finished like this?"

Gao Yuan’s words carefully said: "Brother Helan, please forgive me, the Huns will always exist as a nation, but as a powerful body that can influence the political situation of various countries, they have disappeared. Now, any country sends troops to the grasslands, you will not It's an opponent. The reason why no one is doing it now is because the countries are scrupulous about each other, and there are also various problems within the Central Plains. However, once there is a figure or tribe who can call on the various tribes of the Huns, it will inevitably usher in Fatal blow."

He Lanxiong took a long breath," You said that Dayan will not tolerate this situation before, brother Gao, I want to ask you the truth, only Hejian County and Liaoxi County border my Huns, if it really appears. In this case, would you send troops to destroy such a charismatic tribe?"

Gao Yuan was silent for a while. He understood what He Lanxiong meant, "Brother Helan, I will send troops. Like them, I will not tolerate such things."

"Even if this person is me?" He Lanxiong asked rhetorically.

"Even if this person is you!" Gao Yuan nodded.

He Lanxiong fell silent again, but kept pouring wine into his mouth. After a while, there was no more wine left, and Gao Yuan passed the wine bottle in his hand.

"Thank you for telling me the truth."

"Please forgive me. Standing on an unmoving position, we always look at problems from different perspectives. The decisions I make can only be in the best interests of Dayan."

"I understand, so we are still good friends! Because you didn't lie to me." He Lanxiong shook his head. "So, we Huns want to stand up again, I'm afraid it will be even harder. It's a pity that I am Clan people, after a few days of good days, we will fall into misery again.” (To be continued~www.wuxiaspot.com~
