Cha Yuanzhen smiled and said, "What is there to fear from Qin Ze alone?"

"What I want is that vast land; Qin Ze is merely a stepping stone for me."

"After Qin Ze is dealt with, I will rule the entire grassland, officially declare myself king, and hold the founding ceremony!"

These words were full of heroic spirit, and Cha Yuanzhen was deeply moved, his eyes filled with endless reverie.

Tu Shadong nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty is right!"

"Now I can finally get a good night's sleep. Before I came here, I was worried that Qin Ze would gradually devour our Beihu. I was so worried. Now... sigh, it's finally all over."

Seeing Tu Shadong's expression soften, Cha Yuanzhen laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying:

"Someone, pass on the order."

"From this day forward, whenever a large army comes, charge straight in and kill as many as they come! Let my strategist get a good night's sleep!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The soldier accepted the order and left.

Tu Shadong blushed and hurriedly bowed and clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for taking me in, Your Majesty! From now on, I will serve you with all my heart until my dying breath!"

"When Your Majesty contends for the Central Plains in the future, I will surely serve you with my life and die for you!"

"Very well! Then let's accomplish something great together and leave behind a lasting legacy!"

"But before that, let me deal with Qin Ze first, haha!" Cha Yuanzhen laughed loudly.

——

Two days later.

On the grassland, Qin Ze led his army on a leisurely journey, followed by tens of thousands of horses.

These were horses that Qin Ze had previously acquired from those two tribes. He brought them to exchange for troops later.

With a flicker of his eyes, he opened the system attribute panel.

[Host: Qin Ze.]

Points: (Increasing...)

[Territory: Northern Liang (square kilometers)]

[Tier 5 Qin Elite Soldiers: 9000 men.]

Tier 5 unit: Tiger and Leopard Cavalry (human).

One-star unit: 500 units.

[Three-star general: Dian Wei; Five-star generals: Huo Qubing, Wei Qing.]

When Qin Ze sent Wei Qing to Hu Rong Pass, he spent 955,000 points to exchange for 5,000 heavily armored Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, so his forces have now reached nearly 50,000.

Since the score reached 35 points per second, the score has reached more than nine million in the past three days.

This means that nearly 50,000 heavily armored cavalrymen can be exchanged right now.

However, since they hadn't reached Julu Pass yet, Qin Ze wasn't in a hurry to exchange the currency immediately. They weren't traveling very fast, and in fact, Qin Ze wasn't in a rush.

After annihilating the other two Huma tribes, it's only a matter of time before the last Dayuan tribe is wiped out.

At this moment, Huo Qubing arrived on horseback from afar.

"My lord, my uncle has sent word that they are almost at Julu Pass."

Qin Ze nodded. "Where are Huang Tianhu and the others?"

Huo Qubing smiled slightly: "My uncle said they are advancing very fast, it seems that their military rations are running low, and they are heading towards Julu Pass without stopping. They should arrive today."

Qin Ze nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Okay, let them fight for a while, we're not in a hurry."

——

Refusing to leave the deer beyond the pass.

Huang Tianhu rubbed his knee, and the next moment, a painful expression appeared on his face.

"Damn, it still hurts so much!"

"It's over, I'll probably be crippled from now on, damn it!" Huang Tianhu gritted his teeth.

Huang Yuanlang glanced at it and sneered inwardly, "You think you can still be a cripple in the future?"

But soon, his expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"General, Julu Pass is not far ahead, but it has been occupied by the Dayuan tribe. I will take some soldiers to negotiate with them first."

Huang Tianhu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Hurry up! Get through Julu Pass quickly, I need to go back to the capital!"

"I can't stand this place for another day. Damn it, we ran out of military rations last night. I'm starving!"

Huang Yuanlang grunted in agreement, then summoned several soldiers, whispered a few words of advice in their ears, and the soldiers rode away.

Soon, the soldiers rode their horses to the outskirts of the Dayuan tribe.

From a distance, they shouted, "Don't fight! We've come to negotiate!"

The Hu soldiers were skeptical, but they still sent a few men to the military camp.

Soon, the message reached the military camp. Inside the main tent, Cha Yuanzhen and Tu Shadong sat on the ground. After listening to the soldier's report, Cha Yuanzhen stroked his chin and looked at Tu Shadong, saying, "They want to negotiate. What do you think, strategist?"

Tu Shadong's face turned ashen, and he sneered:

"Hmph, trying to cheat again!"

"You've killed so many of my Northern Hu people, and now you come to negotiate? What's there to talk about? Isn't this a joke!"

"Your Majesty, you must not talk to them. Everything they say is a lie. They've only been here a few days, yet they've rushed here without stopping. Can't you see what they're up to?"

"Now that our forces are strong, why should we listen to their sweet talk? Let's just charge straight in! Faced with overwhelming numbers, words are superfluous!"

"Your Majesty's army is invincible and will surely be victorious in every battle!"

This remark clearly pleased Cha Yuanzhen greatly. He stroked his beard and then waved his hand, saying:

"That's right, that's what I think too!"

"Never mind that! Charge in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The soldier immediately obeyed and left.

On the grassland, Huang Yuanlang was anxiously waiting for news.

A moment later, figures finally appeared ahead; it was the men he had sent out who had returned!

But the next moment, his eyes narrowed, and a look of horror appeared in them.
