Upon hearing this, all the soldiers in the tent burst into laughter.
Shifeng City has a population of hundreds of thousands. It is harvest season. If we loot Shifeng City for three days, we can get enough food to last until next year!
In addition, the women captured could be used to comfort the men, and serving them as slaves was also quite a good option.
Faced with this request, Zhao Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said:
"Good! But after the Khan enters the city, we must not let the Qin family go; we must... eliminate them completely!"
Tu Yuchun laughed heartily and said:
"Can't I have my way with the women of the Qin family?"
Zhao Yuan waved his hand and laughed, "Khan, you are mistaken. There are so many women in Shifeng City. The Qin family is no different. If we leave even one alive, it will be a very troublesome matter."
"We will not be at peace until they are eliminated!"
Upon hearing this, Tu Yuchun showed a disdainful expression and sneered:
"Alright, I'll do as you say and help you get rid of this trouble."
Zhao Yuan nodded and said:
"Very well! Thank you very much, Great Khan. I must reply to the General now, so I'll take my leave!"
With that, Zhao Yuan led his men away.
After Zhao Yuan left, Tu Yuchun narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and looked at his soldiers, saying:
"Who is willing to go to Stone Peak City? Just tell me how many men you need."
A burly man with a scar on his face laughed and said, "Leave it to me, Tu Qitie! I only need ten thousand cavalrymen to storm into Shifeng City!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a general beside him burst into laughter:
"Qin Ze only has a few thousand soldiers. If he wants to bring most of his troops to Hu Rong Pass, then Shi Feng City will be lucky to have a thousand soldiers guarding it. Why would he need ten thousand cavalry? Khan, leave the attack on Shi Feng City to my Tu Biyan. I only need five thousand cavalry!"
When the scarred man saw that Tu Biyan wanted to take the job, his face immediately fell.
You should know that being able to plunder Shifeng City for three days is a good job. Needless to say, you can steal gold and silver treasures, enjoy the women in the city however you want, and even make a profit yourself.
How could we possibly let someone else have it!
Thinking of this, Tuqitie said loudly, "Since that's how it is, then hand it over to me. I only need three thousand men!"
Just as Tu Biyan was about to speak, he heard Tu Yuchun laugh:
"Alright, alright, you don't need to fight over it. It's all the same who goes."
"Three thousand men? That's still a bit too few. Stone Peak City is easy to take, but how much can three thousand men bring back?"
"Alright then, Tuqitie, I order you to take five thousand men to attack Shifeng City. Once inside the city, kill all the people from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. Leave no survivors."
"We can capture as many women as we can in the city, hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Tu Qitie was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
"Yes, Khan! Your humble servant will certainly not fail in your mission!"
Tu Biyan, who was standing to the side, frowned and fell silent.
Seeing Tu Biyan's unfriendly expression, Tu Yuchun laughed loudly:
"Tu Biyan, you are one of my fierce generals, your bravery in battle is unparalleled, who doesn't know that?"
"After the Prince of Zhenbei arrives at Hurong Pass, you will lead your troops to annihilate him! This will also demonstrate your power, what do you say?"
Upon hearing the praise, Tu Biyan finally smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:
"Yes, Great Khan!"
“If he dares to leave Hurong Pass, I will kill one of him! If two come, I will kill them both! His small force is not enough for me to kill.”
"If he dares to fight me head-on on the grasslands, I'll kill him without leaving a single piece of armor in less than a day!"
"If he's a coward and doesn't dare to come out, hahaha, then I'll lead my troops into the pass! I'll beat him so badly he won't have anywhere to run!"
"A mere brat! I'll cut off his head and hang it at the pass for three days! Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this name, Tu Qitie became interested. His eyes darted around, and he said with a smile:
"How about this: I'll lead the troops to Shifeng City, and you and Qin Ze will face off head-on. We'll see who takes it faster! What do you say?"
Tu Biyan gulped down a large mouthful of wine, shook his head, and said:
"Then you've really gotten a great deal! If he had stayed put and acted like a coward, I would have definitely had to spend some time."
"You're leading five thousand men to Shifeng City? Wouldn't that be an easy victory? Do you think the soldiers left behind in Shifeng City can hold out for even half a day?"
Tu Qitie laughed and replied:
"Tu Biyan, you can't say that. I'm going to Shifeng City from another pass, and I have to go around Qin Ze's troops. That journey alone will take a day and a half!"
"Once we reach Jubeichuan, I need to rest and reorganize my troops for half a day. That will take two days. After three days of looting, we'll return, which will be five days!"
"Do you really think you and Qin Ze's few thousand men will need to fight for five days? That's not the style of the warriors of the Northern Hu!"
Tu Biyan blushed and snorted coldly:
"Alright! Let's see who takes it first!"
Seeing the two generals' high morale, Tu Yuchun was pleased and picked up his wine bowl, saying:
"Excellent! You are all warriors of the Northern Hu, and it doesn't matter who takes it first!"
"Once we take Hu Rong Pass, the next step is to capture the nearby cities! Since Qin Haotian died, the Chi Yan Army has disbanded, and there are hardly any generals left in this great campaign!"
"That Huanglong is a despicable man! All he does is eliminate dissidents; he has absolutely no skills!"
"If it weren't for the fact that my Northern Hu tribes are numerous and difficult to unify, I would have led my troops to invade Northern Liang long ago!"
"But regardless, gentlemen, this Hu Rong Pass is the first step in our conquest of Bei Liang! Once we take Hu Rong Pass, we can proceed with our plans gradually!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the tent stood up, took their wine bowls, and drank together.
"Yes, Great Khan!"
Loud laughter echoed from inside the tent...
Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan also left the grasslands and returned to the Commander's Mansion.
Inside the mansion, Zhao Yuan looked relaxed, a smile on his face.
This arrangement is foolproof and there will be absolutely no mistakes!
By using Hu Ma as a pretext to exterminate the entire Qin family, and with Qin Ze dying at Hu Rong Pass, what difference would it make if Hu Rong Pass were handed over to Hu Ma?
The General Who Protects the Nation had already said in his secret letter that as soon as the Qin family died, he would send troops to Beiliang.
This army will join forces with its own troops and then head to Hurong Pass to wipe out the Hu horses!
In this way, Hu Ma will be silenced, and the plot to kill Qin Ze will not be exposed. At the same time, he will be rewarded for his meritorious service in eliminating Hu Ma!
And the Grand General Who Protects the Nation will have even greater prestige in the imperial court!
This strategy can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
Thinking of his triumph, Zhao Yuan laughed heartily, for success and fame were just around the corner!
With Qin Ze dead and the Hu Ma wiped out, I will be second only to the emperor in Beiliang!
Given time, why couldn't I become the "King of Zhenbei" myself?
With the Grand General of the Nation speaking on my behalf in court, this day won't be too far away!
That day, Zhao Yuan was so excited that he couldn't even sleep...
