In the Wolf Division camp, Yelu Cangqi followed closely behind the main force, following the established plan to prevent any accidents from happening.

The atmosphere in the tent seemed a bit depressing.

He lowered his brows in thought, his fingers tapping on the wooden table continuously, making dull sounds, as if he was anxiously waiting for something.

At this moment, Yelu Cangqi was in a complicated mood. He felt a little lost and bitter, and even began to envy Chagan Wuli’s respect for Hu Yanhuan.

Although he already knew that Chagan Wuli regarded Hu Yanhuan as the next leader of the Northern Barbarians, he was still surprised to see Chagan Wuli take such a risk to cooperate with Hu Yanhuan’s plan.

“Chagan Uli is actually willing to take the risk himself. This trust and attention really makes people jealous.” Yelu Cangqi sighed secretly in his heart.

He understood that Chagan Uli’s actions were not only for the current battle situation, but also to pave the way for Hu Yanhuan’s future.

However, because of this, his heart was also filled with worries.

He knew that if Chagan Uli’s trip went smoothly, it would clear the obstacles for Hu Yanhuan and establish his position among the Northern Barbarians.

However, if something unexpected happened, the whole plan might fail, and he would not know how to end it.

“I hope Chagan Uli can complete the mission successfully and no accidents will happen.” Yelu Cangqi prayed silently in his heart.

He knew that Chagan Uli’s safety was related to the success or failure of the entire plan, and all he could do was to provide support in the rear to ensure that everything went smoothly.

He raised his head and looked into the distance through the curtain.

There, the noise of the battlefield could be faintly heard, as if reminding him that the battle was still going on and he must always be prepared for any possible changes.

“Khan, you must return safely.” Yelu Cangqi said silently in his heart, with a firmness in his eyes.

“No matter what, I will be here waiting for you until the moment of victory.”

The wind blew gently through the tent, bringing a hint of coolness.

Yelu Cangqi took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and threw himself back into the intense battle preparations.

He knew that this battle not only concerned Hu Yanhuan’s future, but also the fate of the entire Northern Barbarians.

And as one of them, he will definitely go all out and contribute his strength.

At this moment, what he hoped for was not only Chagan Uli’s safe return, but also the resentment in the hearts of the older generation.

It would be uncomfortable for anyone to see that he or she is about to be replaced and abandoned by the times.

Perhaps only Chagan Uli could have the courage to accept all this calmly and retire at the peak of his career.

Just as Yelu Cangqi fell into deep thought, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted.

A scout rushed in breathlessly, knelt on one knee, and spoke with obvious excitement: “General, the Khan will defeat Hailan Jiabo like a whirlwind!”

The scout’s voice was like a thunder, instantly breaking the gloomy atmosphere in the tent.

Yelu Cangqi suddenly raised his head, a hint of surprise and relief flashed in his eyes.

His heart, which had been hanging in the air for a long time, finally settled down, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and the tension on his face also eased a lot.

“Very good! You are worthy of being the Great Khan!” Yelu Cangqi couldn’t help but admire in a low voice, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

Hu Yanzhong, who had been standing aside in silence, also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

His eyes softened slightly, and it was obvious that this news greatly eased his worries.

Thinking back on this plan, he still felt a little scared.

After all, Chagan Wuli’s prestige is at its peak throughout the grassland. If he is defeated, it will not only cause an immeasurable blow to the Northern Barbarians, but will also bring heavy infamy to those who support Hu Yanhuan.

“Fortunately, Chagan Uli won.” Huyan Zhong secretly rejoiced in his heart, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He had to admit that Chagan Uli was worthy of being the guardian of the Northern Barbarians, both in his command ability on the battlefield and his loyalty to Hu Yanhuan.

However, Yelu Cangqi obviously did not have time to indulge in such emotions.

He quickly adjusted his mindset, looked at the scout with sharp eyes, and asked anxiously: “What about the traitor Hailan Jiabo? What happened to him?”

The scout was slightly stunned, and the excitement on his face subsided a little. There was a bit of regret in his tone: “General, Hailan Jiabo took advantage of the chaos to escape… Otherwise…”

“Escaped?” Yelu Cangqi frowned slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

His eyes turned hard and his thoughts raced.

Obviously, Hailan Jiabo’s escape made him feel a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mood, sneered, and waved his hand: “It’s okay, Hailan Jiabo is now just a grasshopper in autumn, and he won’t be able to jump for long!”

There was a hint of certainty in his tone, and he obviously did not think that Hailan Jiabo’s escape would have much impact on the overall situation.

After all, Chagan Uli’s victory was enough to shock the entire grassland, and Hailan Jiabo was destined to survive after losing his troops and support.

“Okay, let’s retreat now and continue tracking the whereabouts of Hailan Jiabo!”

Yelu Cangqi said in a deep voice, his eyes revealing a hint of cold murderous intent. “He can escape, but he can’t escape far.”

“Yes, General!” The scout took the order and quickly left the tent.

The atmosphere in the tent quieted down again. Yelu Cangqi looked into the distance, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.

He knew that although Hailan Jiabo’s escape was a pity, it would not change the overall victory.

What they need to do next is to thoroughly consolidate the results of this victory and clear all obstacles for Hu Yanhuan’s future.

Hu Yanzhong was silent for a moment, then whispered, “General Yelu, although the Khan won a great victory in this battle, we still need to be careful.

Although Hailan Jiabo was defeated, he is a cunning man after all. If he seeks external help, it may bring us new troubles. “

“you’re right.”

Yelu Cangqi nodded, and the expression on his face became more solemn.

“But no matter what, he is no longer a force to be reckoned with. Even if he wants to turn the tables, he will never have any chance.”

Having said that, Yelu Cangqi looked at Huyan Zhong meaningfully, with a hint of relief and expectation that was hard to conceal in his eyes.

He sighed softly, as if recalling the hardships and efforts of the past, and said with emotion: “It seems that the Khan has a good vision. Now we just have to wait for Lin Zhongyun to fall into the trap!”

This sentence is not only an analysis of the situation, but also a look into the future.

Yelu Cangqi knew in his heart that the victory before him was not the end, but a new beginning.

His eyes flashed with determination, which was the confidence in the future of the Northern Barbarians and the support for Hu Yanhuan. After hearing this, Hu Yanzhong smiled knowingly, and said with a bit of humility and respect: “All this is thanks to the full support of the Khan and the general. Otherwise, my general would be useless.”

His words were full of sincerity. This was not a compliment to Yelu Cangqi, but recognition from the heart.

During this period of observation, he became increasingly aware that Hu Yanhuan sending him to monitor Yelu Cangqi was actually a waste of time.

There is no doubt about Yelu Cangqi’s loyalty to the Northern Barbarians and his unlimited trust in Chagan Uli.

In his opinion, Yelu Cangqi was not only an outstanding general, but also an important pillar of stability in the Northern Barbarians.

He always strictly followed Hu Yanhuan’s orders without any delay or questioning. This alone made him much smarter than those tribal leaders who had different intentions.

“General Yelu’s loyalty and courage are truly admirable.” He thought to himself, with admiration and gratitude in his eyes.

He realized that it was precisely because of generals like Yelu Cangqi that the Northern Barbarians were able to maintain relative stability amid internal and external troubles.

At the same time, he also felt fortunate that the Northern Barbarians still had a great general like Yelu Cangqi, otherwise, he really didn’t know where the Northern Barbarians would go.

In this era full of uncertainties, loyal and capable generals like Yelu Cangqi are the most valuable assets of the Northern Barbarians.

Yelu Cangqi noticed Hu Yanzhong’s gaze, smiled slightly, and said calmly: “The future of the Northern Barbarians requires the efforts of each of us. As long as we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.”

There was firmness and confidence in his voice, a strength that came from deep within.

Yelu Cangqi knew that although the road ahead was still full of challenges, as long as they united, the future of the Northern Barbarians would be brighter.

Huyan Zhong nodded, his heart full of confidence and expectations for the future.

He knew that although the road ahead was still full of challenges, as long as there were people like Yelu Cangqi fighting alongside them, the future of the Northern Barbarians would be brighter.

……

At the same time, inside the Northern Barbarian camp, Hu Yanhuan was sitting in his tent with a piece of the latest intelligence spread out in front of him.

Between the lines, it is clear that Hailan Jiabo has failed completely.

Looking at the intelligence, Hu Yanhuan finally felt a little relieved. His brows, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed and he looked unusually relaxed.

“It seems that Hailanhak has no other thoughts. It’s a blessing in disguise.” Hu Yanhuan whispered to himself, with a hint of relief and ease in his voice.

He knew very well that he had planned all this carefully, but when the plan really started, the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart could not be shaken off.

Thinking back to the meeting with Hailanhak that day, Hu Yanhuan felt a little nervous for a while.

Hailanhak was sincere at the time and agreed to support his plan, but he could never be completely at ease.

After all, Hailanhaq’s style of doing things has always been complicated and changeable, and there have been many cases in the past where he regretted at critical moments. Especially in the face of internal and external troubles, treason is simply an unforgivable crime.

It is normal for such a person to go back on his word, so he would not be surprised no matter what Hailanhak does.

Faced with such an unpredictable person, he naturally did not dare to take it lightly.

He knew very well that although everything seemed to be going smoothly on the surface, there were still countless variables lurking behind the scenes.

If Hailanhak goes back on his word, not only will the Khan face huge risks, but it may also completely change the future of the Northern Barbarians.

In order to prevent this worst-case scenario, he had made preparations early on.

If Hailanhaq really betrayed, once the Khan encountered an accident, he would immediately lead his personal guards to the rescue and try his best to ensure Chagan Uli’s safety.

But with the failure of Hailan Jiabo, the situation seems to have turned around.

He looked at the information in his hand and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although all these arrangements are full of risks, judging from the current results, it seems that my previous concerns were nothing but groundless worries.

He gently put the information back on the table, but his eyes were still thoughtful.

He knew clearly that this was only part of the battle and the real test was far from over.

At the moment, although Hailanhak’s cooperation made him feel relieved, the road ahead is still full of thorns, and any slight deviation may lead to unpredictable consequences.

Taking a deep breath, Hu Yanhuan walked to the window of the tent again and stared at the vast grassland in the distance.

As night fell, bonfires flickered in the camp and the sound of horses’ hooves could be heard from afar, reminding him that everything on this land was quietly changing.

“Without Hailanhak’s cooperation, I’m afraid the situation would not have gone so smoothly.” He thought to himself with a complicated look in his eyes.

He never trusts anyone easily, even his allies with whom he has a deep relationship.

And Hailanhaq, the title of “old friend” that he carries, is destined to make Hu Yanhuan unable to completely let down his guard.

“However, since everything is developing as expected now, there is no need to think too much about it.” Hu Yanhuan muttered to himself, gradually calming his inner turmoil.

He understood that the most important task at the moment was to stabilize the situation without being overly anxious or doubtful. The future of the Northern Barbarians was destined to require him to be in safe control, and every step needed to be carefully considered.

As time passed, a tense and solemn atmosphere filled the tent. Hu Yanhuan stood up, stretched, turned and walked towards the tent door.

The wind outside made the tent sway gently, as if reminding him that every gust of wind on the grassland was full of unknown dangers, and the fate of the Northern Barbarians was in his hands.

……

There was total silence over the grassland, broken only by the occasional sound of horse hooves.

But in Hailanhak’s camp, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, as if a storm was about to come.

Hailanhak sat in the big tent, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes filled with gloom and complex emotions.

As the leader of all this elaborate planning behind the scenes, Hailanhake was obviously not in a good mood at the moment.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on the intelligence in the tent. Although this information should have made him feel relieved, the uneasiness and annoyance in his heart became more and more severe.

“Hailan Jiabo…” He cursed in a low voice, anger and disappointment in his voice.

Hailan Jiabo was originally his most trusted subordinate, but he did not expect that this veteran tribal subordinate would actually interfere and disrupt his plans at the critical moment.

However, although Hailan Jiabo made him angry, Hailanhak also knew that Hailan Jiabo’s failure meant that the overall power of his Hailan tribe had suffered a great weakening.

This situation made him feel like he was being cut by a knife, the pain was unbearable.
