Chapter 30: The Qualities of the Prairie Overlord
There was no expected large-scale fierce battle near Yinshan. Wang Zhu received a secret letter from Li Deyang in advance and ordered Meng Duo to take his men back after robbing. Maodun did not pursue him at all. After robbing, he returned to Longcheng with his troops as a triumphant army. At this time, Maodun had no intention of fighting with the army in the Central Plains. He was thinking about how to return to China to engage in internal fighting and seize power. Meng Duo ran away just in his mind.
Since having the unethical and smoking think tank, Maodun, who was already ill-hearted, has even gone on a wrong path, devoted all his energy to fighting for power, and spent his days and nights in the coach's tent, muttering with Li Deyang on his horse's back, studying how to trip Dulan, how to blame Amani, and even how-
Li Deyang squeezed out all the bad water in his heart, and combined with the experience of the Chinese nation in the thousand-year crown battle, he integrated it into a furnace, giving Maodun an immediate and valuable attention. First, he advised Maodun not to be busy complaining after returning to China. The first step was to kneel in front of the old Shanyu and cry loudly, saying how he was worried about his old man's body. In addition, it was best to pretend to be injured, wrap a few circles of straps on his chest, and apply some blood. The advantage of this was that he could paralyze potential enemies. Amani, Dulan and others would definitely relax their vigilance against him, so that they could make small moves behind their backs and kill them.
Maodun had reached the point of obedience to Li Deyang. Almost all the steps of this battle were arranged by Li Deyang. Although it was thousands of miles away, it invisibly hit the forces of the queen and general Dulan. It was really amazing. Maodun admired him and rewarded Li Deyang with a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of beauties of the Huns. Li Deyang refused them all. Maodun was very confused and expressed his incomprehension. The Huns never refused the rewards of their masters. They started wars or hunted and grazed, and they were all doing.
Li Deyang's answer made Maodun very excited and shocked. Li Deyang said disdainfully, "The eldest prince is too stingy, so he rewards me with these worthless things. Do you know, if I surrender to the queen, she will definitely give me a mountain of gold." It turned out that he was too little. Maodun was about to increase the reward, but Li Deyang smiled and said, "All rewards are exempted. Didn't the eldest prince agree to reward me with a city? That's what I want."
Maodun sighed after hearing this, "If I cannot inherit the throne of the Great Shanyu, let alone a city, and the jewelry and beauty in front of me may be gone. I advise you to accept these first." Li Deyang said firmly. "Don't say anything discouraged by the great prince. As long as you follow the method of the last general, I bet that you will become the overlord of the grassland in less than a year." Maodun pretended to be stupid and said sadly. "My father favored the queen, and he will definitely pass the position of the Shanyu to his second brother." Li Deyang looked at Maodun and sneered, walked outside the tent and looked around. He saw stars everywhere, soldiers patrolling continuously, and the lanterns and torches in the military camp were as bright as day. There were only eight personal soldiers surrounding the tent. Li Deyang waved his hand and signaled the few personal soldiers to stand farther away. After returning, he said, "Big Prince, tell the truth, when do you plan to take action?"
Maodun stared at the eyes and said in horror like a innocent girl who suddenly saw a barbaric hooligan; "I can't understand what you said?" Li Deyang sneered; "It seems that the eldest prince can't believe me at all, and it's unnecessary for me to stay here, so I'll say goodbye." As he said that, he walked out of the tent.
"Slow down!" Mao Dun's cold voice revealed a cold murderous aura. It seemed that a sharp sword in winter had just been unsheathed, with frost on the blade: "Speak clearly before leaving." Li Deyang suddenly turned around and fell to the ground and cried bitterly. "Big Prince, for so many days, has the loyalty of the Mo General to the Great Prince not yet understood? The Mo General values the Mo General's no wisdom. He is a hero like an eagle, tiger and leopard. He is determined to assist the Mo General to establish a hegemony on the vast sea grassland. Unexpectedly, the Mo General can't believe Mo General at all and refuses to make it open and honest to Mo General-"
"Hmph!" Mao Dun made an inexplicable expression with a gloomy face; "Deyang, you are crazy, why do you say that this prince has not been open to you? What do you know?"
Li Deyang raised his face and said in a word to Maodun; "Ming-Di-arrow-" Maodun shook his body, and he couldn't help but make a sneer sound under his feet, as if he was not standing firm.
Li Deyang lowered his voice and said, "You guessed it right." Mao Dun's eyes ejaculated, squatted down and said sternly, "How much do you know? Who revealed the news to you? I want to chop it into meat sauce." Li Deyang sighed, "You have never mentioned it to anyone, how could anyone reveal the news to me!"
Maodun thought about it and shouted in surprise, "Can you be a god man be a prophet?" Li Deyang said; "Mo Jiang is not a god man, but Mo Jiang saw the eldest prince shoot his sweat-blooded horse to death. Mo Jiang guessed that the eldest prince wanted to train his soldiers in this way. When executing the order, they would blindly follow him. However, please be honest, your training seems to have not been successful yet. Not only is it not successful, but it is still far from the difference. Your soldiers still have hesitation and doubts about executing your order. They still need further training."
Maodun did not agree with Li Deyang's guess, but asked jumpingly, "How can I see it?" Li Deyang said, "Shooting horses and shooting people are completely different things. When you see your subordinates shooting sweat-blooded BMWs, one-tenth of people doubt your order. If you order them to shoot at this moment, then half or even more than half of the people will not blindly follow, and the eldest prince is destined to fail. Tomorrow is coming to Longcheng. The eldest prince has no time to confess to me at this moment. I have a clever plan here to help the eldest prince get what he wants. I just don't know if the eldest prince's heart is cruel enough and whether it is really a material to be the overlord."
Maodun still didn't comment. The fist in his right hand clenched tightly and made a burst of sound like a splitting bamboo joints. The blue veins under the wrist guard were revealed: "I Maodun must be the master of all pastures. The mountains, rivers and rivers that you can see in front of you will be my land. For this, I will do whatever it takes."
Li Deyang slowly stood up from the ground and said calmly, "Then, please confess to me." Maodun slowly turned his head, and his sharp eyes stayed on Li Deyang's yellow and black face for another stick of incense, and finally said, "I want to kill Touman. In this way, I can seize the throne and dominate the grassland."
"Okay, very good, great, your idea coincides with me. Before that, all the strategies I will teach you are made to achieve this goal. Now, the eldest prince only needs to complete two things, and Touman is dead." Li Deyang said, slamming his high fives.
"Your words have always made great sense, please say it quickly." Maodun thought to himself that Hua had already said this and there was nothing to hide, and he was left to work together: "There is a saying in the Central Plains that one prospers and one loses one loses. If I seize the throne, your value will increase immediately. So, say it quickly."
Li Deyang smiled and said, "There is another saying in the Central Plains called 'Kill the donkey, cross the river and destroy the bridge' who knows whether I, Deyang, will become a scapegoat for regicide." Maodun waved his hand to stop Li Deyang and said with a deep face. "You don't have to worry about this at all. In your words, 'You will break the bridge when you cross the river.' I can't cross the river. I just kill Touman. I want you to help me defeat Donghu and defeat Dayuezhi and Daqin. At that time, I really crossed the river. It took a long time, maybe it was thirty, forty, fifty years. At that time, you were old and didn't need me to break the bridge, and you fell into the water and drowned."
"Haha, haha." Li Deyang laughed, "The eldest prince is indeed an honest gentleman. In this regard, there is no problem. In the end, you can escape all the words in your stomach. First, no matter what, the eldest prince must get rid of Dulan and let any general accept the military power of Longcheng. This point is easy, but the second thing-" Li Deyang wanted to speak, lowered his head and peeked at Maodun's expression with the corner of his eyes.
"What are you hesitating? At this moment, do we still have time to hesitate? Tell me quickly if you have something to do." Maodun couldn't think of any resistance that could prevent him from reaching the peak of power.
"I have already said just now that your whistlebrating arrow formation has not been trained yet, shooting horses and shooting people are not the same thing--" Li Deyang guided Maodun around the bush.
"Then what you mean is to let this prince go to be a target himself." Maodun smiled bitterly: "What a trick, nonsense." Li Deyang's head hung lowered; "Find someone close to him, maybe he should be the eldest prince's most beloved person, and there is no other way. The real prairie overlord will be an iron giant, he has infinite power and a heart of iron and stone." Maodun was stunned for a moment; "You said, if you want me to shoot the person closest to him, really, really, must I do this?"
“Unless the plan is cancelled.”
Maodun sternly said, "The arrow is on the string and I have to fire it. Don't say that it's too late to cancel the plan now. Even if it's possible, I never thought of giving up."
"Then--" Li Deyang and Maodun looked at each other for half a minute, and the eyes of both sides rubbed bright ghost fire in the air like swords; "It's your Que family, the princess."
Maodun closed his eyes and sighed inwardly, "Princess, Princess - Well, for the fate of the Great Huns, what is the value of sacrifice for a woman?" (To be continued)
