Chapter 152 The saint ran away?

Zhang Beichen contacted Wuhuan Khan Hao Zhen and learned that there was an undercurrent surging within Donghu and that unrest might occur at any time.

Instead of unpredictable turmoil, it is better to actively control the rhythm and let things happen again according to the simulation.

Therefore, Zhang Beichen and Hao Zhen discussed and asked Hao Zhen to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Hao Ziyi, attract Yu Manhe and Daji, and then kill them directly to get ahead of the Huns.

Only in this way can we capture Donghu's territory, otherwise the time will be too late and the Xiongnu will completely occupy Donghu.

…

In the Wuhuan tribe, Hao Zhen sent invitations to the leaders of each tribe, saying that he would hold a coming-of-age ceremony for his daughter Hao Ziyi in three months.

"Hao Ziyi's coming-of-age ceremony?" Da Ji was immediately moved when he saw the invitation, "I heard that Hao Ziyi's girl is particularly graceful. If you take her, you can annex the Wuhuan tribe."

"It's hard for me to take action now. If my son Dadata takes action, we can still capture Hao Ziyi and the Wuhuan tribe."

As long as he captures the Wuhuan tribe, what woman is not his?

…

When Yu Manhe learned about this, he was naturally ready to take action.

But this time, he contacted the Xiongnu Chanyu Maotai and explained the stakes.

"Daji will also be attending the coming-of-age ceremony for the daughter of the Khan of the Wuhuan tribe?" Maotai thought, "This is a God-given opportunity!"

"Chanyu, why don't we take this opportunity to kill Daji and Hao Zhen directly and capture Donghu!" the general next to him suggested.

This time in simulating time and space, the Xiongnu's decision-making changed.

This time, because of a false alliance with the Yan State, the Xiongnu's development accelerated. As a result, Maotai is now fully capable of attacking Donghu!

"How do you know the information?" Maotai asked.

The subordinates said proudly: "Nadaji is a stupid pig. We have already figured out the marching route in the name of sending women to him. Those women are our spies and have already tricked Maotai's troop deployment!"

"If we attack now, we are 50% sure. If it is a sneak attack, we are 80% sure!"

"Okay!" Maotai was overjoyed and said, "Wouldn't it be a pity to miss such an opportunity? Donghu is a gift from the beast god to us!"

"Inform Yu Manhe immediately and ask him to lead the army. Our Huns cavalry will set off immediately to go to Wuhuan and start a killing spree!"

"Yes!" Maotai's generals immediately mobilized their troops and summoned 50,000 fierce cavalry to head towards the Wuhuan tribe.

When Xianbei Khan received the order in Manhe, he also began to make secret arrangements and mobilize elite soldiers and generals from his own tribe. His mission was to block Daji's troops for rescue, so that Daji could be eliminated as soon as possible.

…

Zhang Beichen is also preparing. His plan is to kill all the leaders of Donghu in one fell swoop.

Considering the Xianbei tribe and the Xiongnu, he needed to prepare more troops.

Therefore, Zhang Beichen sent a letter to the King of Yan, requesting that all the elite cavalry of the Yan Kingdom be mobilized to rush to Donghu, and at the same time send border defenders to provide support.

"Are you finally going to take action against Donghu?" Yan Qingwu has also been looking forward to it for a long time. Donghu has been invading Yan country, and she has long wanted to get rid of him!

Not only did she agree to Zhang Beichen's request, she also asked to personally lead the troops on the expedition.

Zhang Beichen raised 50,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry.

The infantry marched slowly, and the marching troops responded, while the cavalry rushed to the Wuhuan tribe first.

With Hao Zhen's support, the Yan army did not encounter Donghu's spies or obstruction, and smoothly entered the vicinity of Wuhuan Mountain and hid in a secret valley.

…

At the foot of Wuhuan Mountain, Hao Ziyi was depressed all day long. She already knew that her father was going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her.

This means that she will marry someone she may not even know.

If it were before, she might have accepted her fate uneasily.

But since she met Zhang Beichen, she couldn't bear it anymore. When she thought that she might stay with a vulgar man for the rest of her life, she would rather die.

A bold thought arose in her mind: "How about I escape?"

"Yes, escape to Yan Kingdom! Find brother Beichen!"

“The God of Wuhuan Mountain also supports me!”

Once this idea appeared, it was impossible to control it. A few days later, Hao Ziyi was already planning to escape.

On this day, Hao Ziyi said to the guards: "In the past few days, I will pray quietly to the Wuhuan Mountain God, asking the God to bless our tribe, and no one should disturb us."

The guards naturally agreed and patiently stood guard outside.

From a distance, they saw a man in purple clothes sitting quietly in front of the high platform for prayer, praying silently.

When night came, Hao Ziyi got out immediately. She had already prepared a straw man about the same size as herself, put on her own clothes, and continued to place it in front of the prayer table.

As for herself, she slipped directly down the mountain through a trail.

Relying on Hao Ziyi's familiarity with the tribe's defense situation, no one noticed her along the way. She mounted a horse and ran towards the direction of Yan Kingdom.

…

On Wuhuan Mountain, the guards are still guarding.

It wasn't until the third day that anyone discovered something was wrong.

"The saint has been praying for three days, right? It's so hard!"

"Yeah, I didn't eat or drink for three days, and I didn't even see her move."

"What? You haven't seen her move either?" The two guards suddenly realized something was wrong and ran over to check.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

Hao Ziyi has long since disappeared, leaving only a scarecrow wearing her clothes!

"Oops! The saint is missing!"

"It's over. Report it to Khan immediately!"

…

"What are you talking about? Ziyi is missing?" Hao Zhen was furious when he heard the news!

I have been plotting the plan for so many years, but seeing the coming-of-age ceremony right in front of me, Hao Ziyi disappeared!

"What do you do for food?" Hao Zhen scolded the guards angrily.

"Did someone kidnap her?" a subordinate asked.

"Impossible!" Hao Zhen said, "That is the holy land of my Wuhuan tribe. Who can steal my king's daughter quietly? Even a strong man in the holy realm cannot do it!"

"She must be the one who makes her own decisions! This girl is too crazy!" Hao Zhen knew his daughter's character very well, and she was a bit rebellious in her heart.

He definitely didn’t want to get married, so he ran away!

"Send someone to look for her quickly! We must find her! Remember, don't leak the news, Hao Ziyi, she is still in Wuhuan Mountain, understand?" Hao Zhen ordered.

"Yes!" The people from the Wuhuan tribe hurried to secretly search for Hao Ziyi.

…

Zhang Beichen and Yan Qingwu arranged their troops and then came to see Hao Zhen in disguise.

Yan Qingwu was now disguised as Zhang Beichen's assistant. Her disguise skills were so superb that it was difficult for ordinary people to detect her.

"Khan!" Zhang Beichen saw Hao Zhen and said bluntly: "Our Yan army is well hidden and ready to send troops at any time. How are the preparations on Khan's side?"

Hao Zhen looked hesitant and said: "There is no problem with the deployment of troops, it's just..."

"An accident happened?" Zhang Beichen frowned slightly.

"Hey!" Hao Zhen sighed and said, "My rebellious daughter actually sneaked away and no one has found her yet."

"What? Zi Yi escaped?" Zhang Beichen also didn't expect that such an accident would happen in this round.

"Yeah." Hao Zhen said, "It's a bit difficult to handle now."

It is impossible for him to cancel the coming-of-age ceremony, otherwise the Yan army will come in vain! The army went out to fight and consumed a lot of money and food. How could they retreat like a child's play?

And if this opportunity is missed, it’s hard to say what Donghu will become in the future.

Zhang Beichen asked: "What would happen if Hao Ziyi didn't show up?"

"Nadaji and Yu Manhe will naturally be suspicious, and our plan may be seen through." Hao Zhen said, "If it doesn't work, we launch an attack in advance! Although it is a bit hasty, it is at least better than passively facing the enemy."

"No!" Zhang Beichen thought, "I only brought 50,000 cavalry with me on this trip, and the infantry will not be able to catch up in less than a month!"

"Yu Manhe and Daji have more troops than us. If the Xiongnu intervenes again, we may be in trouble!"

"It's better to let someone pretend to be Hao Ziyi, deceive them first, and wait until they relax their vigilance before taking action!"

"Pretending to be Ziyi? Both Nadaji and Yu Manhe have seen Ziyi!" Hao Zhen asked.

"Don't worry, Khan, we in the Yan army are capable and can complete it!" Zhang Beichen looked at Yan Qingwu who was standing aside. He did not reveal Yan Qingwu's identity, otherwise it would be too dangerous.

"Then give it a try!" Hao Zhen was hesitant.
