Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

The wind howls, the water flows far.

As winter approaches, the environment on the grasslands becomes even harsher than that of Bailang Mountain, with scattered snowflakes falling in many places.

Inside the Northern Hu royal court, however, a scene of bustling activity unfolded.

King Mirohan and several of his trusted generals sang and danced in his royal tent, weaving among a dozen or so dancers, occasionally letting out hearty laughter.

After dancing until he was exhausted, Yehu Mirowuyuan, who was also Mirohan's younger brother, returned to his seat with a dancer in his arms and said with a smile:

"This year, our warriors marched south. Although they still failed to break through the Zhou people's defenses, they did manage to plunder a lot of gold, silver, and beautiful women. In another month or so, the army should be returning."

"Brother Wang, we can have a warm winter now!"

Upon hearing this, Mirohan laughed and nodded:

"good!"

"Although it is difficult to subdue the Zhou people, it is still good to take away a lot of good things from them every year. At least our people do not have to work hard all day long."

"As soon as the time comes, the one who snatches Zhou will be the one to do it."

The two brothers and the other high-ranking Beihu officials in the tent raised their glasses with smiles to celebrate their bountiful harvest.

Near the entrance to the royal tent, a middle-aged man with a thick beard sat sullenly, as if the happiness of those around him had nothing to do with him.

After Mirohan noticed him, he waved to him and said:

"My dear Lord Gulequ, what troubles you?"

"Your Majesty, I...I have a request!"

Gulefeng hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to make his request. He took a few steps and knelt on one knee in front of Mirohan:

"The Zhou people have gone too far! First they attacked the Black Sand Tribe, then they annihilated the three-tribe coalition. I simply cannot swallow this insult, and I have decided to send troops to attack the White Wolf Camp!"

"Your Majesty, please grant me five thousand elite cavalry to march south together!"

The chieftain is the supreme ruler of a tribe among the Northern Hu who commands an army of 10,000 cavalry. His position is equivalent to that of a commandery officer in a prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he also has the power to govern the people's livelihood!

The location of Gulefeng's headquarters is just north of the White Wolf camp, and Black Sand Chuo, Moda, and Qingwu are all his vassals.

His tribe was not powerful among the Northern Hu tribes. Without the small tribes like Heishachuo providing him with soldiers, treasures, cattle, and sheep, his development would be extremely slow, and he might even be gradually swallowed up by other tribes.

After all, if he doesn't seek revenge after his vassals have been wiped out, it will discourage them.

That's why he was so angry when he learned that the three parts of the Black Sand Chuo had been destroyed!

Ever since receiving news of the annihilation of the three tribes, Gulefeng had been holding back his anger, wanting to take revenge day and night. However, it was a critical time for the Northern Hu to launch a major offensive against the Great Zhou, and his troops could not be moved casually.

This time, the Gule tribe did not participate in the war because they needed to guard against the Zhou people on the border so that they could send reinforcements to other tribes at any time.

Now that the war is about to end, he can no longer hold back.

Upon hearing this, Mirohan, seated on the throne, smiled and waved his hand.

"The warriors on the grassland are like wild grass in spring, they disappear and grow back again."

"This time, I will give you more beauties from the Zhou people. In a few years, your tribe will have more warriors to fight, so there is no need to rush."

"My lord, we must capture the White Wolf camp!"

Seeing that the king didn't take the matter to heart, Gulefeng immediately emphasized:

"The White Wolf Camp is commanded by Zhou Renlu Xiao. In just half a year, its forces have grown from over a hundred to more than 1,200. After annihilating the Black Sand Chuo Tribe, I heard they are still expanding their army!"

"If we don't eliminate Lu Xiao, he will become a major threat to the Northern Barbarians!"

When Mirohan and the others heard the name Lu Xiao, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.

They already know what happened.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Mirohan said:

"Don't you have ten thousand warriors? Just take them all over there, and annihilating a small White Wolf camp will be a piece of cake, won't it?"

"Lu Xiao is skilled in surprise attacks. On both occasions, he personally led small groups of elite cavalry to raid the rear camps of the Heisha Chuo tribe, thus achieving victory against overwhelming odds and bringing great humiliation to our Northern Hu!"

"I'm worried that if we take all the warriors of our tribe with us this time, he'll resort to his old tricks again!"

Gu Lefeng explained Lu Xiao's every move in great detail with an extremely serious attitude.

After saying this, he solemnly requested:

"Therefore, I plan to leave four thousand warriors to guard the headquarters, so that only six thousand men can accompany me south."

"But more than two months have passed, who knows how much Lu Xiao has expanded the White Wolf camp?"

"To be on the safe side, Your Majesty, please grant me elite cavalry!"

Upon hearing this, Mirohan fell into deep thought, and the other high-ranking officials of the Northern Hu also showed thoughtful expressions.

After careful consideration, they concluded that nipping the danger in the bud was indeed the safest approach.

However, Mirohan did not fully support Gulefeng:

"My dear Lord Gulequ, five thousand elite cavalry is too many. If I were to hand them over to you, it would inevitably cause unrest among the various tribes. However, Lu Xiao cannot be left unpunished."

"Alright then, I'll give you two thousand elite cavalry. I wish you swift success!"

Gulefeng was taken aback, looked up at the king's face, and saw the other smiling and nodding at him. He silently thanked him.

"Thank you for your gracious gift, Your Majesty!"

He was very disappointed.

Before saying these words, he deliberately exaggerated the number of times because he was worried that Mirohan would be reluctant to part with his men. However, he was still a full thousand short of the three thousand warriors he had hoped for!

There were a total of 8,000 warriors, nearly three times more than the number of the Black Sand Chuo Alliance, but he still felt a little uneasy.

Because he simply couldn't fathom Lu Xiao's personality, and didn't know what tricks the other party would pull this time.

"Alright, alright, we are both subjects of the Eternal Heaven, let's not speak like that."

Perhaps sensing Gulefeng's dissatisfaction, Mirohan selected one of his trusted and beloved generals:

"This time, I'll accompany you south to wipe out that detestable White Wolf camp."

"Gu Mi repeatedly outmaneuvered the Zhou people, whether in the decisive battle against the Great Zhou on the grasslands or in leading warriors to attack the Zhou people's cities, he was almost never defeated."

"With his help, you should be able to rest assured."

Gulefeng was stunned, once again shocked by the king's cold-heartedness.

That wasn't just having Bone Mi help him; it was practically placing a pair of eyes next to him, watching his every move.

Ultimately, they still didn't trust him and were worried that the two thousand elite cavalry would follow him to their deaths or be recruited into his ranks, threatening their throne one day!

However, having two thousand warriors is better than having none at all.

Despite his displeasure, Gu Lefeng could only bow his head and express his gratitude. He then set off with Gu Mi, and after mustering his troops, headed straight for the White Wolf camp.

On the way, seeing that he wasn't in a good mood, Kotomi took the initiative to start a conversation:

"Let's talk about Lu Xiao."

"There's an old saying among the Zhou people: 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Before attacking, I want to learn more about him."
