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

Rumbling--

In an instant, Mirohan and other high-ranking Northern Hu officials were struck dumb, standing up in astonishment and staring at the newcomer with disbelief.

After an unknown period of silence, Mirohan asked in a trembling voice:

"What happened?"

"Gulefeng said that the White Wolf camp only had a little over a thousand men, but he brought a full eight thousand warriors with him. How could they have died?"

"Your Majesty, I am also extremely shocked!"

Siloro lowered his head and explained with trepidation:

"In just one or two months, Lu Xiao has expanded his army at an extremely rapid pace. When Lord Gulequ led his troops there, the White Wolf camp already had a thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry!"

"If that were all, we wouldn't have been able to defeat him. However, that scoundrel Lu Xiao is extremely cunning and directly requested assistance from the surrounding defenses."

"A full nine thousand men surrounded our troops."

"That scoundrel Lu Xiao dared to lead a thousand cavalrymen to charge into our army's formation, directly disrupting our ranks..."

As Siloro described the battle that day, everyone present gaped wide enough to swallow an egg.

These pampered high-ranking officials of the Northern Hu, who had been living in luxury for many years, simply could not imagine where humans got the courage to charge an army of eight thousand with only a thousand men.

They were still skilled horsemen and archers, Hu cavalry!

After a long while, Mirohan slumped onto his throne, his expression extremely solemn:

"If Lu Xiao is not eliminated, he will become a major threat to the Northern Hu in the future!"

"Brother, I am willing to lead my troops to attack the White Wolf camp!"

Upon seeing this, Miroku immediately left his seat and knelt on one knee in front of his brother, volunteering for the battle:

"The chieftain of Gulequ must have been defeated because he underestimated his enemy, which led to his own death. His younger brother would not have been so reckless."

"I will surely bring news of the victory to my brother before the first snow of the year melts!"

"Do you want to start a war between nations?"

Mirohan glared angrily at his younger brother and, under his puzzled gaze, rebuked him:

"As my own brother, your every move is under the watchful eyes of the Northern Hu warriors and even the Great Zhou spies. Any slight action could cause widespread panic!"

"If you personally lead the troops into battle, what will the Zhou people think?"

"They'll think this is a test from me, that I intend to fight them to the death!"

Upon hearing this, Miro Wuyuan lowered his head and remained silent in contemplation.

After some thought, the others in the royal tent nodded slightly, indicating their agreement with their king's statement.

National wars should not be started lightly, not only because a major battle between the two sides might attract other enemies to covet the Northern Hu, but also because many forces within their own borders would become restless.

It should be understood that the Northern Hu were a nomadic people mainly composed of tribes, and were not, in essence, a centralized state.

Their king was chosen as the supreme ruler because his tribe had the largest population and the most skilled warriors!

This does not mean that other powerful tribes will obediently obey the Hu King's orders!

Do you know why I just disagreed with your plan to conquer the Great Zhou?

Seeing that his younger brother still couldn't swallow his anger, Mirohan sighed and said:

"The Great Zhou is not as weak as you imagine."

"The reason they are being suppressed by you and me now is because they do not feel the danger of life and death."

"Once they know they are doomed, the Zhou people will unleash a ferocity and courage unimaginable to us. At that moment, they would rather perish together with the enemy than submit to them!"

Upon hearing this, Miro Wuyuan's expression softened, realizing that he had underestimated the situation.

In the ensuing silence, Miro Wuyuan gently tapped the armrest, and after a long while, gave the order:

"Summon Princess Yuezhen here; I need her."

A short while later, a girl of about seventeen years old, with a face that looked very similar to Zhou Ren, and wearing a lake-blue long dress walked in.

As the girl entered the royal tent, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and the redness on her mouth, nose, and hands, which had been frozen by the cold, felt much warmer.

She bowed her head, walked to Mirohan, and knelt down to pay her respects.

"Your subject greets Your Majesty!"

"Get up quickly, there's no need for such formalities before your father."

A loving smile immediately appeared on Mirohan's face as he personally helped his daughter up, then said angrily:

"Those people down there are outrageous! They didn't even let you dress warmly. Drag them down and whip them severely!"

"Yuezhen, I just heard from Tongtian Wu that his granddaughter is of marriageable age, but he has not been able to find a suitable husband yet."

"It's all my father's fault for being so busy lately that he couldn't sleep at night and forgot that you're also of marriageable age."

Upon hearing this, Princess Yuezhen lowered her eyes and sneered inwardly.

How could she not know what Mirohan did all day in the royal tent?

The so-called busyness is just an excuse.

Moreover, she has only seen him five or six times since she was born. The most exaggerated time the father and daughter met was when Mirohan even forgot that he had such a daughter.

The reason was that Yue was born to Mirohan and a captured Zhou official's wife, and her status was extremely low.

Mirohan, unaware of her thoughts, continued to presumptuously play the role of a loving father:

"Yueshen, when your mother was alive, she often looked south, longing for her hometown. When she died, she faced south and could not close her eyes."

"Thinking about this, your father feels guilty towards you and your mother."

"I heard recently that a brave and skilled general has emerged from the Zhou people. He is young but brave and skilled in battle. Moreover, he came from humble origins and earned the title of Marquis of the Great Zhou with his own hands."

"If you are willing, your father will arrange for you to be betrothed to him."

Princess Yuezhen was startled and looked up at her father in confusion, not understanding what was wrong with him, that he would suddenly be willing to send her back to the Great Zhou.

After all, compared to the other members of the royal family, she appeared to be a pure Zhou person.

Therefore, he was always disliked by his other siblings.

Yuezhen had long been used to all of this, but occasionally, when she looked up at the starry sky on a certain night, she would fantasize about being a Zhou person.

Now that the opportunity is in front of her, she is extremely apprehensive!

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mirohan asked again:

"Are you worried that this person might not suit your taste?"

"Moonlight, your father can assure you that the Zhou general is a dashing and romantic man. He will surely fall for you when he sees you, the bright moon."

"Besides, Siloro saw him with his own eyes. If you don't believe your father, you can ask him to testify!"

Princess Yuezhen subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiluoluo, and seeing the other's disheveled appearance, she immediately had a guess in her mind.

They must have suffered a setback at the hands of the Zhou people, realized the Zhou people's intention to attack, but did not want to fight, so they pushed themselves out to make peace through marriage in exchange for temporary tranquility.

Coming to her senses, Princess Yuezhen, though inwardly grumbling, still bowed to Mirohan according to her status and nodded in response:

"Your subject will leave all decisions to Your Majesty!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Mirohan was overjoyed and quickly looked at the old man in the corner of the royal tent, who was staring intently at a piece of ox bone, and smiled:

"Tongtian Wu, I will trouble you to take my daughter to the Great Zhou to arrange a marriage between her and Lu Xiao."
