While Bill IV was looking forward to it, Aksu encountered trouble.
He had been marching at full speed for the past few days, but before he even reached the front lines, he had already encountered several waves of defeated soldiers, which made him feel extremely depressed.
There was only one thought: what kind of monster was Huo Qubing in front of them that he could defeat so many people? They were simply a bunch of useless trash!
Looking at the group of routed soldiers and generals, Aksu said with a dark face, "You have tens of thousands of men under your command, yet you can't even defend yourselves, let alone defeat the enemy?"
You bunch of bastards, the weapons you're holding aren't fire pokers, why don't you shoot at the enemy!
Now they've been beaten to a pulp and fled back in a sorry state. It's utterly disgraceful; they're like stray dogs!
The only good news was that he had received word that his son was safe, but this was of little significance to the situation in the Northwest; the key was to eliminate Huo Qubing.
Upon hearing his words, the routed soldiers and their commanders immediately cried out in despair!
"My lord, it's not that I'm useless, it's just that Huo Qubing is too fast. I was still preparing the tripwire when he came flying over in a flash."
They just let them through without giving me any time to prepare! Who the hell can I complain to?!
"Damn it, you're blaming me for having over 5,000 people?"
"Well, his forces are all cavalry; they come and go without a trace, so it's normal that they're hard to defend against!"
"It makes me angry just thinking about it. Huo Qubing claimed to be from the Land of the Far West, and I just wondered if his warhorses swam all the way here?"
"I don't know that, but I just don't understand why they have over 300,000 people and think they're so arrogant, making it seem like they have millions of people behind them, as if we're invisible!"
"I think this guy is insane. His crazy attack, venturing so deep into enemy territory alone, I think he's tired of living!"
"Exactly! When he runs out of steam, I'm going to tear him apart!"
These generals had suffered countless humiliations and wished they could surround Huo Qubing and tear him apart, but at this moment they couldn't tear him apart, which was extremely frustrating.
They were all so angry that their faces turned red, and they started cursing. It was the first time they had ever felt so humiliated.
Fortunately, the enemy has ventured deep into enemy territory alone. As long as we can hold them off, they will have virtually nowhere to go, and then we can easily deal with them.
"Deeply isolated!"
Hearing their words, Aksu nodded slightly. That was indeed the truth; a lone army venturing deep into enemy territory could not last long.
If he encounters intense encirclement and suppression, he will face certain death.
However, at this moment, he remembered the intelligence he had received earlier, and his heart skipped a beat. He frowned and said, "A lone force venturing deep into enemy territory will not last long, but what if he has accomplices?"
"Accomplices?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. If Huo Qubing had accomplices, did that mean he had another force on this side?
Good heavens, they haven't even shown up yet! They've been hiding really well!
"Sir, where is this accomplice? Could he be hiding behind us?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Aksu shook his head, looked towards the north behind him, and said in a deep voice, "I received information that after Huo Qubing attacked our northwest, Xue Rengui also attacked us in the north!"
This was almost as if it were pre-arranged; it would be hard to believe they weren't accomplices. After all, Huo Qubing wasn't stupid; he wouldn't throw his life away for nothing!
Xue Rengui!
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly. If the Great Tang also intervened, Frostwest would face enemies from two sides.
Although this is speculation, it is highly likely.
Huo Qubing wasn't stupid. He knew that going deep into enemy territory alone was a sure path to death, so why did he still do it? He must have had something to rely on!
Ali, standing to the side, couldn't help but shout angrily, "Damn it, one is called the Great Han and the other is called the Great Tang. Judging from their names, they must have been born from the same mother."
They're said to all come from the Land of the Far West; they must be a group!
The names are too similar, and the styles are exactly the same. Only accomplices could do this and wouldn't know how to use such a name.
name?
Upon hearing his words, a black-bearded general standing nearby felt a jolt in his heart and exclaimed, "A Great Han and a Great Tang are born from the same mother, but their mother also has a Great Liang. Aren't they the same kind of people?"
Holy crap, these are triplets!
Great Liang is also one?
These words startled everyone, even Aksu's expression changed drastically.
"This..."
Aksu's heart pounded wildly, and he felt completely terrified.
At first, I didn't think the three were related. After all, the Great Han and Great Tang claimed to come from the Land of the Far West, while the predecessor of the Great Liang was the old giant of the east, the Northern Liang. They couldn't possibly be the same group.
But when you look at the names of Great Liang, they're practically identical, even the generational names are the same—both are "Da" generation!
If it's true, Frostwest is probably in big trouble.
If the three brothers join forces, Frostwest's chances of winning are probably zero, since Great Liang has practically locked Frostwest down.
In this situation, if Great Liang were to make a move, Frostwest would likely collapse instantly!
At that moment, his mind raced as he pondered how to make a decision regarding his family; the news was simply too great.
Should I tell the emperor?
If we don't tell them, and something goes wrong, Frostwest will suffer heavy losses, and might even be destroyed.
Even if I were to say it, it wouldn't make any difference. After all, if these three really came from the same source, then Frostwest would almost certainly lose.
If he were to tell the emperor himself, he would offend the Great Liang, and the consequences would likely be dire.
He gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Don't think about this too much. No matter how powerful the Great Liang is, it's impossible for them to run all the way to the Land of the Far West."
The two sides have different weapons and equipment, so they shouldn't be working together. The Great Liang are from the Northern Liang.
Aww!
Just then, a cry of an eagle came from the sky. Aksu's eyes narrowed. A letter had arrived from home, and the Old Eagle had been disturbed.
He whistled, and the Old Eagle instantly swooped down and landed on his shoulder.
Aksu took the letter from the Old Eagle and began to examine it. The contents caught his eye, but he quickly lost interest.
"To bestow a title of kingship, His Majesty has really gone all out!"
He sneered. The emperor had originally planned to weaken his own power, but now he was offering to grant him the title of king as a condition. This was quite interesting.
But if the Great Liang, the Great Tang, and the Great Han are one entity, what is the point of this title of king? It would only make him a target of Lin Yi, which would certainly mean certain death.
On a whim, he crumpled the letter into a ball and put it in his pocket.
Just as he was about to tell everyone to disperse, a sudden disturbance appeared in the distance. Dense plumes of smoke and dust could be seen from afar, which caused his expression to change drastically.
really!
The next moment, someone came over to inform them, and they shouted it out.
"Something terrible has happened! Huo Qubing is here!"
