After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

As early as the beginning of the war, Helian Temujin, under the cover of night, nimbly moved around the edge of the chaotic battlefield.

There was not much expression on his face, only a pair of deep eyes constantly scanning the surrounding situation.

The guards surrounded him closely, like a flowing steel defense line, protecting him from attacks from all directions.

The retreat horn of the Northern Barbarian Army soon sounded, and Helian Temujin quickly evacuated safely under the protection of the guard team to prepare for the next step.

On the way to escape, he commanded the escort, took advantage of the terrain, constantly changed direction, and confused the pursuers.

The night was as dark as ink, with twinkling stars. Helian Temujin held a long sword in his hand, swinging it from time to time, and together with his guards, he opened up a bloody path.

His swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and every strike was just right to repel the Great Zhou army that tried to approach.

The members of the guard were all brave and fearless. They followed Helian Temujin's footsteps and fought hard.

Protecting the leader's safety is their only mission on this trip, and for this, they are willing to do anything, even at the cost of their lives.

With the joint efforts of Helian Temujin and the escort team, they finally broke through the heavy encirclement of the Great Zhou army and rushed towards the designated evacuation route.

Along the way, the Great Zhou army tried to intercept them from time to time, but they were all repelled one by one.

As the distance got closer, Helian Temujin finally saw the safe area ahead - a dense forest.

He was delighted, knowing that as long as he entered the forest, he would be able to escape the pursuit of the Great Zhou army.

So he quickened his pace and led the guards into the forest.

Under the cover of the forest, Helian Temujin and his escort were finally able to evacuate safely. They continued to flee northward along the winding path.

After he settled down, the Northern Barbarian Army began to gather here one after another. Helian Temujin looked at the Northern Barbarian Army, which had lost nearly one-third of its troops, with cruelty in his eyes.

When Helian Temujin learned the news that Helian Feiying had been captured, his face instantly became gloomy, like the sky before a storm, depressing and terrifying.

In those deep eyes, the anger burned like a ignited flame.

Li Feng stood aside and dared not say a word.

“Flying Eagle, my nephew has actually fallen into the hands of the Great Zhou!” Helian Temujin clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from exertion, his voice deep and filled with anger, “This is not only a personal shame, but also a shame for us Northern Barbarians!”

He paced back and forth in the tent. The air around him seemed to freeze. Everyone even breathed carefully, for fear of angering the leader who was on the verge of a rage.

"Shen Qingqing!" Helian Temujin gritted his teeth and pronounced the name, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, "I, Helian Temujin, will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!"

He turned around abruptly and gave orders to the generals beside him: "Assemble the elite troops from all tribes immediately. I will lead the troops myself to flatten the Great Zhou camp, rescue Feiying, and cut Shen Qingqing into pieces!"

The generals were all terrified when they heard this, but they were more in awe of the angry Helian Temujin. They knew that the leader was so angry that any dissuasion would be futile. If they rashly stepped forward to stop him, they would only end up being killed.

Thinking of this, they could only accept the order silently and leave.

Seeing that Helian Temujin's emotions had calmed down a little, Li Feng dared to speak.

"Chief, Shen Qingqing is the nemesis of our Northern Barbarians! We must be fully prepared this time to face the Great Zhou!"

Helian Temujin looked at Li Feng, with something flashing in his eyes.

After a while, just when Li Feng's bent waist began to ache, Helian Temujin slowly spoke: "Well, this matter is left to you. I want to see Shen Qingqing die with my own eyes, otherwise you will relieve my anger."

His voice was light and his expression was calm, but he revealed a crazy murderous intent.

Li Feng's face froze, and he gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes! Chief."

"Go down." Helian Temujin waved his hand.

Seeing this, Li Feng took his leave.

……

After receiving the order, the Northern Barbarian soldiers quickly went to various tribes to convey Helian Temujin's order.

They rode fast horses across the grassland, and caused quite a stir wherever they arrived at a tribe.

When the Northern Barbarian soldiers arrived at the first tribe, the tribal leader was leading his people to sit around the campfire, enjoying the tranquility of the night.

The arrival of the soldiers broke the silence, and the leader stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, soldiers, but what do you want from the leader?"

The soldier nodded and announced Helian Temujin's order loudly: "The leader has ordered that all the elite soldiers in the tribe be assembled immediately to prepare to fight against the Great Zhou!"

Upon hearing this, the tribal leader frowned and looked worried.

The elders also shook their heads and sighed, but one of the oldest elders stood up and said firmly: "Chief, we must obey the orders of Chief Helian. Moreover, we Northern Barbarians have always been united, and we should work together to resist the foreign enemies. As long as we are united, we will definitely defeat the Great Zhou!"

After hearing this, the tribal leader looked at the soldiers who were still waiting in front of him, then looked at the elder who was speaking. He nodded after a while, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

He stood up and said loudly to his people: "My people, Chief Helian has ordered us to gather our best troops to fight against the Great Zhou! This is a glorious battle for our Northern Barbarians, and it is also the time for us to defend our homeland! May our Northern Barbarian warriors be brave and fearless, and fight for the Khan, for the tribe, and for their homeland!"

"Yes!"

"For the Khan, for the tribe, for the homeland!"

"For the Khan, for the tribe, for the homeland!"

……

In the tribal tent

"Chief, do we really want to send our elite troops?" an elderly warrior asked in a low voice, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. "Our tribe already has limited resources. If all our elite troops are sent out, in case of an unexpected event, wouldn't the tribe be in danger?"

"Yes, Chief." Another tribesman echoed, "The Great Zhou is strong. What are our chances of winning if we fight them? If we put the tribe in danger just because of Chief Helian's momentary anger, is it worth it?"

The tribal leader was silent for a moment when he heard this. He knew all this.

But he also knew that if he refused Helian Temujin's order, the consequences would be equally disastrous.

He sighed and said, "I know everyone's concerns, but we have to obey Chief Helian's orders. However, we can adopt some strategies so that we will not leave the tribe defenseless and can fulfill our responsibilities at the same time."

He thought for a moment and continued, "We can select some elite soldiers to provide support, but leave some behind as garrison forces. At the same time, we can strengthen ties with other friendly tribes and discuss countermeasures together to ensure that we can support each other at critical moments."
