Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

General Huang’s Mansion, in the back garden.

Huang Chan was leaning on a recliner, fishing with a bamboo pole in his hand. Next to his right leg was a bamboo basket with three or four fish in it.

There was a man standing next to Huang Chan, this man was Cao Mengyi who had been to the Tu tribe.

Cao Mengyi said nothing until Huang Chan caught another fish. Then he spoke:

"So what the general said just now is that he wants to wait until Ying Xuanze dies at Jiarong Pass before letting you lead the troops to attack the Northern Hu troops?"

Huang Chan threw the fish into the bamboo basket. He nodded and smiled, "Yes, a marquis died in the hands of the barbarians. Our Great Ying Dynasty will not sit idly by."

"If Yan'er can use this to destroy a large number of Northern Hu troops, or even kill the Chanyu of the Tu clan, Your Majesty, no, the Queen Mother and the Grand Marshal will definitely reward Yan'er heavily."

"It is not difficult to annihilate the Northern Hu troops. I have plenty of troops. As for killing the Chanyu..."

Huang Chan glanced at Cao Mengyi standing beside him and smiled faintly: "Didn't you go to the grassland to meet Tu Hanxie? With you leading the way, are you still worried that we won't be able to get his head?"

Cao Mengyi pondered for a while, then bowed and said, "General, you are very thoughtful. I am very lucky for you."

"Haha, I only have this one son. If I don't think about him, who else can I think about?"

Huang Chan put the bamboo pole aside. He had caught enough fish today and planned to stop here.

At this time, a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes entered the back garden. He had a quiet appearance, a fat, white and clean face, but his eye sockets were a little sunken.

When Cao Mengyi saw the young man, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, sir."

The young man's name is Huang Yan. He is the eldest son of Huang Chan and a well-known disciple from a wealthy family in the capital. He often bullies young girls together with other wealthy children.

Huang Yan's reputation was not very good. On several occasions, he even bullied the daughters of some wealthy businessmen. However, because his father was Huang Chan, those wealthy businessmen could only dare to be angry but not speak out.

Huang Chan knew that his son had a bad reputation outside, so he wanted to take advantage of the invasion of the Northern Hu to increase his son's reputation and save his reputation.

Otherwise, how can I inherit his position as general in the future?

Huang Chan glanced at Huang Yan, then frowned and said in a deep voice: "Are you out playing with women again? You smell like a woman!"

"Alas, it's Li family's second daughter who came back. How can I let her go when I see her?" Huang Yan licked his lips.

"This woman is really fierce. If her father wasn't a businessman, I would really like to marry her!"

Huang Chan snorted coldly: "You only know how to play with women all day long. I, your father, have cultivated you so carefully, but I want you to fight in the battlefield and kill the enemy!"

Huang Yan scratched his head, then said with a smile: "Dad, you are a great general, isn't it easy for you to help me achieve merit?"

"Tell me, where do you want your son to go this time? Are you going to raid the house of a minister, or to quell a rebellion in some place?"

Huang Chan glanced at Huang Yan again, and then said in a deep voice: "Neither, this time I plan to ask you to go to the northwest and destroy the northern Hu troops outside Jiarong Pass."

Huang Yan was immediately panicked when he heard this and said, "Dad! This is not a joke! They are northern barbarians! Do you want your son to go there and die?"

Huang Chan said angrily: "What are you talking about? Would I, your father, let you die?"

"I'll give you a hundred thousand troops, and let your elder brother Cao go with you. With him here, you just need to watch from the side."

"When the Hu people are destroyed and the Chanyu dies, both you and him will receive rewards from His Majesty."

"By then you will be the hero who annihilated the Hu people. Plus, you are the son of my great general, so your future will be limitless!"

"Don't forget, the current emperor is a young master. When he grows up, you will be the closest general to him, and our Huang family will be able to consolidate its position in the capital."

Huang Yan belatedly said "oh" a few times after hearing this.

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that? With Brother Cao here, I don't have to worry too much."

"Dad, you are the one who handles things. When are we leaving? Can I take a few more maids with me? There is nothing on the grassland. I would be bored to death without women."

Huang Chan slapped Huang Yan on the head, rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You little bastard! Are you trying to piss off your father?"

"Forget it, forget it. As long as you don't cause any trouble and listen to your brother Cao in everything, I won't stop you from bringing as many maids as you want."

"But remember, when you go to the northwest grasslands this time, you must bring back the head of the Chanyu of the Tu clan. This is the only request from your father."

Huang Yan walked up to Huang Chan with a playful smile and gave him a back massage. He said with a smile, "I will listen to Brother Cao. Don't worry, Dad!"

After saying that, he looked at Cao Mengyi and gave him a look, and the latter smiled and nodded.

"As for when to set off, let's wait for the latest battle situation at Jiarong Pass. Judging from the number of troops Ying Xuanze has, we will have news as early as tomorrow."

"Once he dies and the border war becomes urgent, I will let you lead the army north. A hundred thousand troops are ready for you."

Just as Huang Chan finished speaking, a servant ran in with a panicked look on his face.

"General! General, something bad has happened! There's news from Jiarong Pass!"

Huang Chan and Huang Yan smiled at each other, and the latter laughed and said, "Haha, there's no need for tomorrow, the news came today."

"It seems that this Zhenxi Marquis has been defeated and died, otherwise the servants wouldn't be so panicked."

"It's alright! These barbarians won't be able to stay so arrogant for long. I'll lead my troops to take care of them all in a little while!"

However, the servant quickly shook his head: "No, sir! Jiarong Pass is not about war, it's victory news!"

"The Marquis of Zhenxi led his army to annihilate 70,000 Hu people! More than 50,000 were captured alive! This news has spread throughout the capital, and the people have already started beating gongs and drums to celebrate!"

Just as the servant finished speaking, the sound of drums was heard outside the mansion.

Huang Chan, Huang Yan and Cao Mengyi seemed to be petrified on the spot. After a long while, Huang Chan grabbed the servant by the collar and asked loudly:

"What did you just say? The Marquis of Zhenxi killed 70,000 enemies and captured 50,000 alive? Are you sure it was the Marquis of Zhenxi?"

The servant nodded repeatedly: "It is absolutely true. How dare I lie? If the general does not believe it, you can go outside and ask."

Huang Chan let go of the servant. His expression was angry and the flesh on his face was trembling slightly.

Huang Yan's eyes were even more empty and lifeless. If the Marquis of Zhenxi had already destroyed the Northern Hu army, then wouldn't he have no chance to even get any credit?

Damn! The achievements we have achieved are gone just like that?

Cao Mengyi also looked solemn. He quickly called the servants away, then walked to Huang Chan and said in a deep voice:

"General, no matter how the Marquis of Zhenxi did it, the fact is that the Tu clan has been destroyed."

"We'd better pray that Ying Xuanze doesn't know that we colluded with the Hu people to take his life. But if he knows about it and tells His Majesty, even if the Queen Mother and the Grand Marshal don't like the Ying family, they will never tolerate anyone in the court colluding with foreign races."

"In my opinion, we should strike first. No matter what, this time we have to make the Ying family disappear completely from Xiliang!"
