Chapter 706 A Pavilion Unlike Those in the Central Plains
Thinking of this, Chu Luen's unwavering belief wavered slightly.
Finally, after a moment's hesitation, he couldn't help but ask, "How do I know if you're trying to use me, bring my people here, and then exterminate them all?"
Indeed, in the Battle of Cliff City, the allied forces lost 300,000 men. Even if they wiped out another wolf tribe, how much difference would that make?
It's just a matter of throwing a few more exploding stones.
Jia Daoshi had already guessed that Chu Luen would ask this question, and immediately smiled calmly.
"Chu Luen, do you think I can't find the location of your Golden Horde just because you don't agree? You should know who Tianlang is, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Luen's face darkened: "As expected, that wolf cub Tianlang is a traitor! I should have chopped him up and fed him to the wolves long ago!"
Jia Daoshi shook his head: "Further discussion is pointless. Will General Chu agree or disagree?"
Chu Luen: "..."
At this moment, Chu Luen was already in a state of torment.
Therefore, he had no idea what to say.
Confusion, regret, self-blame...
Seeing the expression on Chu Luen's face, Jia Daoshi knew that the time was almost right. There was no need to push too hard at this point, so he said calmly, "General Chu, think it over carefully yourself. I'm not in a hurry. Also, I must remind you that while I'm not in a hurry, some people on the grasslands are a different story."
"And your tribesmen on the grasslands, I'm afraid they won't last much longer either."
After saying this, Jia Daoshi waved his hand, turned around, and left the dungeon.
……
Just as Chu Luen was caught in a dilemma.
The grasslands, the Golden Horde royal court.
Haila Sunazha lay languidly on a snow-white wolf pelt on the summer night grassland, a cool evening breeze blowing.
With the bright moon high in the sky and countless stars filling the heavens, visibility was still excellent even at night.
Helasu Naza tossed and turned on the wolf skin for a moment, looked at a window in the tent, and suddenly sighed softly: "These tents are just tents after all, unlike the pavilions in the Central Plains, which allow you to climb up and look far into the distance."
"Wouldn't it be closer to the moon if I lived in the attic?"
"At this point in time, we should be able to take Cliff City, right?"
Just as Hailasuna was imagining her wonderful future, Xiao Reba hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in: "Hadun, has there been any news from the front? How are my uncle and the others?"
In Xiao Reba's subconscious, she still cared more about Chu Luen.
Because she can't wait to escape to Dajing.
Once Chu Luen and his men capture Cliff City, Xiao Reba can use the pretext of transporting supplies to head towards Cliff City.
Once inside the city of Juebi, you can follow Sirius's caravan and sneak into the heart of the Great Jing region to escape this marriage.
Although I will never be able to see my family again and will have to wander alone, and may encounter many difficulties, it is still better than marrying that barbarian from the bear tribe and dying after being tortured and abused!
Helasu Nazha, with her eyes half-closed, said casually, "It's Dilraba. There haven't been any battle reports from Cliff City yet. I suppose the fighting is too intense for them to send messages."
Haila Suna recalled her secret deal with certain people in the Great Jing Dynasty. The Great Jing Empress's current attention was focused on eradicating the Jianghu sects and the major aristocratic families within the Great Jing territory. She probably wouldn't have much interest in the barren land of Youzhou County, where Juebi City was located.
If that's the case, then their 500,000-strong army should have no problem taking over Youzhou County.
Just as Hela Sunaza was thinking about these things, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent.
Then came a very anxious voice.
"Lord Hatton! Lord Hatton! Something has happened!"
As the urgent sound faded, a figure strode in from outside.
As soon as the person entered the tent, he knelt down on the ground, his eyes red-rimmed, and said, "Lord Hatun, something terrible has happened!"
Seeing Sirius's appearance, Helasu Nazha's heart skipped a beat!
Judging from this situation, is my dream going to be shattered again?
"what happened?"
Sirius looked dejected: "Following Hadun's instructions, I prepared many horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts to go to Cliff City to help transport supplies. But when we arrived at Golden Water City near Cliff City, we received bad news!"
"Our 500,000-strong allied army suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Cliff City, and was routed!"
"Three hundred thousand warriors died in Furong Gorge, one hundred thousand were captured! And another one hundred thousand are still missing!"
Upon hearing Sirius's words, Hela Su Nazha's face turned pale instantly!
"In such a short time! Three hundred thousand warriors died in battle! One hundred thousand were captured! And another one hundred thousand... are still missing?"
Helasu's voice was trembling!
"How could this be? Where is the Imperial Advisor? Where is he?"
The Imperial Advisor is naturally the one who oversees the entire court!
……
"call!"
A night breeze blew into the quiet tent!
A cool breeze blew through the night.
It also brought a sense of desolation!
Besides Sirius, Hela Sunazha and Xiao Reba are currently in a petrified state.
Anyone on the grasslands who hears such news would find it utterly absurd!
An army of 500,000, completely collapsed in such a short time?
According to the news Tianlang just mentioned, all five clan leaders have died in battle, and countless clan members have perished!
Moreover, Chuluen may have already died in battle!
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Reba suddenly felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away in an instant!
Unable to hold on any longer, he collapsed to the ground.
"Tianlang... is your information true? We've already investigated how many troops Juebi City has, so it can't be wrong! Even if... even if we can't take Juebi City, retreating to the grasslands should be easy! How could we possibly suffer such a crushing defeat..."
At this point, Helasu Naza suddenly raised her head and glared fiercely at Tianlang: "Tianlang! Where did you get this information from!"
Sirius had a long face: "Hadun! I only found out from my men! At first, I didn't believe it either! But I secretly sneaked to the vicinity of Cliff City and went to see for myself, and then I found out that it was all true!"
"The soldiers of Dajing burned corpses and dug pits to bury them on the grassland. Tens of thousands of men dug a huge sinkhole! They also built a Jingguan (a mound of corpses) at the entrance of Furong Gorge. Those two Jingguan are like two huge mountains! They are all the heads of the grassland warriors!!"
"They used horse-drawn carts; cart after cart of lime powder was transported from Youzhou Prefecture..."
After Tianlang finished speaking with a sob in his voice, Hailasuna felt as if the Eternal Heaven had collapsed!
If this is true, then her doomsday is just around the corner!
