He seemed to have had a nightmare and was awakened in an instant. He stood up, raised his head and exclaimed: "Father!"
But apart from the sound of wind and snow filling the sky, there was no sound around him that responded to his shouts.
He blinked and looked around blankly. What he saw was a figure wearing a mask and wrapped in a black robe.
Through the black mask made of metal, Shan Yu Tongjian could not clearly see the expression on the other person's face, but the eyes looking through the mask made Shan Yu Tongjian wake up in an instant.
He remembered everything that had happened before...
Because of his laziness, the army that should have been deployed failed to complete its mission in time, allowing the Wuyang people to take advantage of the situation and capture the Chinese army camp. He was deceived by the traitor and exposed his father's whereabouts.
As for the father and son, they were in a tight siege at that time.
But at the last moment, his father suddenly used a technique to teleport himself to this place, on the Fierce Yin Mountain, where the Green Wolf Army was located.
After figuring out what was going on, Shan Yu Tongjian burst into tears.
He quickly stood up and took the hand of the man in black robe in front of him, and said loudly: "Mr. Mu! Please save my father! He is being surrounded and suppressed by Wuyang people!"
He looked anxious and his face was red.
But compared to his behavior, Mr. Mu, who was wearing a black robe in front of him, stood motionless, turning a blind eye to the eagerness shown by the other party.
He just looked at the somewhat frantic Shan Yu Tongjian quietly, without stopping or trying to persuade him.
It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour passed that the roaring Shan Yu Tongjian gradually calmed down. He then looked at him and said, "General Shan Yu is dead. Please show your condolences, young general."
His tone was so calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
At that moment, Shan Yu Tongjian sat slumped on the ground, as if he had been drained of all his strength, sitting on the ground, unable to move.
Didn't he know that what Mr. Mu said was an ironclad fact? He knew very well that his father had already reached the point where his fuel was exhausted, so he used all his strength at the last moment to show off
He looked like he was going to kill Li Danqing to attract the attention of the Wuyang people, and then gave him a chance to escape and ascend to heaven.
Shan Yu Tongjian understood his father's temperament. If he hadn't known that there was no way out, how could he have made such a decision with his father's aloof temperament.
He just... just doesn't know how to face this fact.
He fantasized that maybe his father had some other ways to support him. As long as he could lead the army to the Chinese army camp quickly enough, he might be able to save his father...
At this moment, Mr. Mu's words undoubtedly shattered the last trace of fantasy in his heart, and also shattered...
Shan Yu Tongjian’s belief...
Shan Yu Tongjian looked around in confusion at that time. Suddenly his heart was shaken, and fire ignited in his eyes. He stood up again and grabbed Mr. Mu's hand, saying: "Then please Mr. Mu to mobilize troops quickly."
, we will use our Qinglang tribe’s troops to kill Li Danqing and avenge my father’s blood!”
Mr. Mu looked down
Shan Yu Tongjian, who looked crazy, suddenly asked: "General, have you ever thought about why the great general tried his best to rescue you at the last moment?"
After hearing this question, Shan Yu Tongjian was startled and looked at Mr. Mu.
To be fair, he didn't like this guy who wore a mask all day long and didn't dare to show his true face.
But what he had to admit was that Mr. Mu's concerns were right, and both his inferences about the Wuyang people and Li Danqing's precautions were impeccable.
It's just that this realization came too late, and he paid too dearly for it...
His head was a mess, and he couldn't answer the other party's questions.
"Is it because you are his son?"
"Or is it because the matter has reached this point, only one can survive?" Mr. Mu was not in a hurry to get the answer, but continued to ask slowly.
Shan Yu Tongjian was stunned. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
"The general has great ambitions and has been worried about the rise and fall of the Liao Kingdom throughout his life."
"He knew that sending troops to Wuyang was the best way to save the Liao Kingdom once and for all, so that the people of the world would no longer be exposed to war, so he paid everything for it."
"Similarly, this plan is too grand to withstand even the slightest change. Today, it is like a dragon swimming in the shallows and a tiger falling in the sun. There is no hope of survival. But the four divisions of the Liao Kingdom cannot be without their masters for a day, otherwise, the consequences will arise.
The civil strife was defeated one by one by the Wuyang people, and half of the general's hard work was wasted."
"He knows that after he dies, what we, the Liao Kingdom, need is a wise leader who can take over his responsibilities, and the young general is his chosen candidate!"
"The young general neglected his duties in the Chinese army camp, which has resulted in the death of tens of thousands of soldiers of our Qinglang Division, and the great general has sacrificed his life. Now the great general is offering his life as a guarantee to ensure that the young general is safe. The young general will continue to act recklessly.
Whether he acts recklessly, continues to be decadent, or betrays the great general's trust, or whether he must cheer up and complete the unfinished business of the great general, it all depends on the little general's thoughts."
When Shan Yu Tongjian heard this, his body trembled, and the fire in his eyes gradually extinguished...
…
"Although the Wuyang people have occupied the Chinese army camp, the main force of the Qinglang tribe is still there."
One day later, Shan Yu Tongjian and Mr. Mu walked side by side on the top of Jieyin Mountain.
There, the soldiers of the Liao people were working hard to build the altar in the snow.
Huge stones were slowly lifted up here from the mountainside. Each of these stones is as tall as a person. The surface is extremely smooth, like jade. The surface is flashing with a strange white light, and one side is also carved.
The blood-colored runes have no specific meaning, but they exude a strange smell.
These stones seem to be extremely heavy. Even if there are rollers placed at the bottom for easy transportation, each stone still requires more than ten people to pull the rope together to slowly drag it. From time to time, there will be soldiers from the Liao people here.
In the process, he fell to the ground from exhaustion, but soon a new soldier stepped forward to take his place.
After the stone is transported to the top of the mountain, it will be slowly lifted up to the location where the altar is being built by a device made of gears, and placed on it with a hanging rope.
"Although the food and grass are tight, it is enough for seven or eight days for the time being. We can completely build the shrine at the same time.
While waiting for the reinforcements from the Black Jue tribe to arrive, when the time comes, we should cooperate with the inside and outside, and attack from both sides, we will definitely be able to annihilate Wuyang's army in one fell swoop."
Mr. Mu looked at everything going on in an orderly manner and said calmly.
Shan Yu Tongjian, who was following him, had calmed down for a day. Although he had recovered a lot from his death in Shan Yu Pass, his mood was still low and he did not respond much to what Mr. Mu said.
He just nodded and said, "It's as Mr. Du said."
Mr. Mu also seemed to understand that Shan Yu Tongjian was not very interested in listening to his words at this moment, so he simply stopped introducing him to the progress of the shrine, and just turned around and said: "The general has just undergone a big change, and his heart is heavy.
The wind and snow are very strong on this ominous mountain top, so it is better to go back and rest first. Now the general is the commander-in-chief of the three armies and the leader of the four armies. If he collapses from exhaustion, the four armies of the Liao people will be leaderless, which will be detrimental to the overall situation."
After hearing this, Shanyuguan looked up at Mr. Mu and said: "Mr. Mu is a smart man. I have listened to Mr. Jiumu's plan for a long time. Whether it is the construction arrangement of the shrine or the next step of waiting for reinforcements, it is all very clear.
, it’s foolproof, Mr. Ariki’s arrangement, please rest assured.”
Mr. Mu nodded when he heard this. Behind the iron mask, his eyes flashed with relief.
"These are all things I should do. The general treats me with great kindness. I should do my best to assist the general."
"General, after you have sorted out your thoughts on these matters, you can come to me in the tent at any time and I will teach you them one by one." Mr. Mu said at this time.
What he said was quite playful.
Shanyu Tongjian can certainly stabilize the military morale of the four Liao tribes, but only Mr. Mu and Shanyuguan know the core part of the plan for this shrine, and even some of the most important secrets.
Although Shan Yu Tongjian is now nominally the commander-in-chief of the Liao people, many military orders were issued by Mr. Mu.
This old general had recently died, and Shan Yu Tongjian had not yet fully mastered the four tribes of the Liao people. The entire four tribes of the Liao people had a somewhat shaky feeling of being in charge of a young country with doubts and powerful ministers in power.
And the more this time comes, the less likely it is that gaps will arise internally.
Mr. Mu's words were meant to reassure Shan Yu and Tongjian, telling him that he could take over the power at any time if he wanted to, and did not want him to create a gap between him and him.
At this time, it was extremely smart to retreat as a way to advance, but now Shan Yu Tongjian had just experienced the death of his father, and was still a little uninterested in these things. He nodded, said no more, turned around and walked into the unknown place.
In the big tent in the distance.
Shan Yu walked into it and lay down on the soft bed with Jian for a sleep, but his sleep was not very peaceful. The nightmare about his father always lingered.
He was woken up from his dream again. He was breathing heavily, and finally calmed down. He stood up from the bed and was about to go out for a walk. But the moment he was about to step out of the tent, he seemed to
Suddenly he realized something, and suddenly paused in his steps, then looked back behind him.
An envelope appeared on the desk in the big tent at some point.
Shan Yu Tongjian frowned, walked over to that place, picked up the envelope, stretched out his hand to open it, and looked at it carefully, and saw the letter written clearly on the letterhead.
Shan Yu, the young master of the Qinglang tribe of the Liao Kingdom, married Tongjian.
