Chapter 495: Chapter 188: Barbarian Heavenly Capital, Langjuxu Mountain_3
Its status is equivalent to that of Ziwei Mountain to the people of the Central Plains.
On this day,
The Great Khans of the Four Barbarian Tribes, who rarely meet together,
Ascended the mountain to worship their ancestors!
“Three hundred years ago!”
“My Heavenly Clan once ruled over the Central Plains for more than a hundred years!”
“Little did we expect!”
“That Great Ancestor Sheng Cao Xie would emerge, forcing my Heavenly Clan to retreat back to the Great Desert, bearing three hundred years of humiliation!”
“But it all ends here!”
Among the Four Tribes of the grassland, the Tuoba were the most powerful.
Raising his wine bowl, the Tuoba Great Khan said to the other three Great Khans, “The Sheng Dynasty is corrupt, its time has come to an end!”
“This time with the aid of the Witch God Sect and the Immortal Master from the Demon Clan!”
“We can not only take back the Central Plains!”
“But also cleanse the Central Plains with blood and step onto the Path of Immortality!”
“From now on, the people of the Central Plains will never again raise their heads!”
“That Emperor of the Sheng people is quite laughable!”
Yuwen Great Khan chuckled coldly, “If it were not for his support to Yunzhou for ten days, we wouldn’t have had the chance to open a rift in the heavenly seal through Blood Sacrifice and receive assistance from the Ancient Demon Immortal Masters!”
“Indeed.”
Murong Great Khan followed, “The old Emperor of Sheng people would do anything to live another couple years, millions of commoners, tsk, even if it were cattle and sheep, we would need to put in some effort.”
“He succeeded, extending his life by twenty years, continuing to pursue his Immortal Path.”
The Duan Clan Great Khan snorted, “It’s just a pity, his reign may not last that long.”
“The Immortal Masters of the Ancient Demon Clan have said.”
The Tuoba Great Khan stated, “The key this time lies with Sun Xiangzong!”
“That is why the Great Sect Master built the Array Eye of the Blood Sacrifice right at the end of this Slaughter Vein, once the great array and the Slaughter Vein are revived, even the one surnamed Sun can do nothing.”
“Victory to the Heavenly Clan!”
“Victory!”
Just as the Great Khans raised their wine to the heavens, at the edge of the altar, a Witch God Sect High Priest in a fluttering black robe seemed to sense something, suddenly opening his eyes, his expression turning ice-cold and grave.
“This…”
“High Priest.”
Asking the Tuoba Great Khan, “Is there a problem?”
“Extreme Yin Gu.”
The High Priest said gravely, “The undercover agent buried within the city has been exposed.”
“How could it be exposed?!”
Yuwen Great Khan asked in a tense voice, “Does it affect our grand plan?”
“It’s of no consequence.”
The High Priest stated coldly, “The Blood Sacrifice was almost ready, it’s simply a matter of starting a bit earlier.”
…
Liangzhou City.
Sixth Prince Cao Huan gathered all the Main Generals of the Beiliang Army’s Fourteen Camps together to discuss last night’s events and how to plan the upcoming battles in front of the huge sand table.
“This time,”
Cao Huan spoke, “thanks to General Chen’s early detection of the activity within various sects in the city! It’s hard to believe that these Sect Masters themselves are the greatest culprits. If we had left them in the city after the battle started, the consequences would have been unimaginable!”
“Sun Dushi has yet to return to Liangzhou City. Today I’ve summoned the generals here to discuss how we should proceed?
“The original plan was to march north when the spring starts in five months. After what happened last night, do you think we should maintain the status quo or make some changes?”
“Naturally, we should stick to the original plan.”
The Main General of Skyhawk Camp stood up and said, “As everyone knows, the barbarians are primarily nomadic, and in late autumn when the grass is plentiful and they’re at their strongest, that’s their most powerful time. In contrast, during winter, their food and grass become scarce. After a period of consumption, by spring, they are usually at their weakest.”
“On the other hand, our Beiliang Army has been storing food and fodder for several years in advance, with no such concerns.”
“By next spring,”
“Striking the enemy’s weakness with our strength, in such a trade-off, we will surely win with a single blow!”
“General Li is right!”
“I agree with General Li.”
Several Main Generals echoed in agreement.
“General Lü!”
Cao Huan called on, “You are the most experienced and seasoned in the military among us present. What do you think we should do next?”
“In my opinion,”
Lü Ji spoke unhurriedly, “what happened last night was no coincidence. Plus, considering their actions on the front line, it indicates that there is a greater scheme at play. Continuing to procrastinate means we would be led by the nose, remaining passive. It’s better to catch them off guard with a proactive strike.”
“General Chen.”
Cao Huan asked, “What is your view on this?”
All eyes shifted to him.
Now, Chen Sansi,
Was an existence with towering prestige in the Beiliang Army.
“I share General Lü’s sentiment,”
Chen Sansi stated frankly, “we should act sooner rather than later. What do you think, General Fang?”
“Hmm.”
Fang Qingyun, due to his physical condition, was assigned to oversee Liangzhou City this time.
He nodded slightly, “Not only do we understand the barbarians’ weakness in spring, but they do as well. Yet they still dared to come to the frontline at this time, which means they must be prepared. Striking unexpectedly is indeed the best choice.”
“Mr. Xu.”
Cao Huan shifted his gaze.
Xu Wencai swayed his Feather Fan, uttering slowly, “Your servant believes it’s time to make our move.”
“…”
“…”
Ultimately,
Opinions were split evenly between conservatism and aggression.

But those in favor of attacking included illustrious figures like Chen Sansi and Lü Ji.
Finally,
Cao Huan slammed the table, “Before Sun Dushi returns, this prince will temporarily take command. I may not have much experience in leading troops, but I know that we cannot miss a strategic opportunity.”
“Send orders down, prepare the twenty thousand troops of the Northern Territory for battle!”
“One month from now, to march on the grassland!”
“Then, we shall discuss how to best fight this battle.”
“…”
The dozen or so generals began to discuss,
Coming to the conclusion that they must take Huqiu Mountain first, no matter what.
This mountain occupied a strategic location.
If there was to be an advance of several thousand li, they needed an anchor point to stabilize the supply of food and fodder.
