Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 16: The Lich King is Fusu
"Looking at the retreating undead cavalry, An Shige Diaomao was relieved. He quickly replied: "Those cavalry are all dead people and skeletons."

"Dead people? Skeletons?"

An Shige's diaomao's answer left Meng Wu with a lot of question marks.

An Shige Diao said sadly: "General Meng, those cavalrymen are all dead men and skeletons. They don't feel pain or fatigue. They are almost impossible to kill."

"Don't lie to me. I've been on the battlefield for so many years and have seen countless deaths, but I've never seen a dead person get up again."

Meng Wu still didn't believe it, and even doubted the Xiongnu's intentions again, because it was really hard for him to understand and believe.

"I dare not deceive the general!" An Shige Diao said sadly, "Whether it is true or not, they have sent an envoy here. We can tell at a glance."

Meng Wu looked outside the pass and saw a team of about fifty cavalrymen passing through the Huns' human wall and heading towards this side.

Soon, the cavalry arrived at the gate of the pass. The leader, a skeleton mage wearing a large hooded robe, raised his head and shouted to the gate tower: "Is the commander of Yiqu Pass Meng Wu?"

"Ghost!!"

"Skeleton!"

When the Skeleton Mage raised his head, the soldiers at the city gate were frightened when they saw the skull with strange blue flames burning in its eye sockets.

Meng Wu was also shocked.

But he quickly calmed down and shouted at the Skeleton Mage outside the pass: "I am Meng Wu. Who are you? What do you mean by the army approaching the border?"

The Skeleton Mage took off his hood and said loudly, "I am Gaosi, the Undead Demon of the Undead Mountains. I am an envoy sent by the Lich King. I have come to visit General Mengwu to discuss the matter of the diplomatic mission to Qin. The army has come here only to clear out the Xiongnu in the Hetao Plain, and has no intention of closing the border."

Hearing the Skeleton Mage's answer, Meng Wu swallowed secretly and started thinking quickly.

At this moment, he finally believed what Anshige Diaomao said, and finally understood why the Xiongnu in the Hetao Plain would beg to become Qin citizens. There was no way for them to survive on the grassland!

"General, should we let them in?"

The deputy general next to Meng Wu asked carefully. Looking at these undead spirits, he was also frightened and instinctively did not want to let them enter the pass.

"." Hearing this, Meng Wu was silent for a moment, took another look at the undead outside the pass, and shouted: "Only you can go in, the others are waiting outside!"

"You all wait here!"

Hearing the shout, the Skeleton Mage didn't waste any words. He gave an order to the people behind him, then rode his armored corpse horse into Yiqiu alone.

Under Meng Wu's order, the gate of Yiqiu was opened only a crack big enough for a horse to pass through.

"Close the city gate!"

After seeing the Skeleton Mage coming in, Meng Wu immediately ordered the door to be closed.

It's no wonder that he was cautious. Who knows how powerful these so-called undead are? Once they capture the city gate, the enemy's hundreds of thousands of cavalry will rush in in no time.

When Mogaos entered Yiqiu, he saw Mengwu personally leading a group of people coming down from the city gate. Mogaos immediately dismounted.

When the two sides met, Mogaos performed a Qin ceremony and said, "Messenger of the Undead Mountain Range, Mogaos, greets General Meng of Qin."

Meng Wu quickly raised his hand to return the greeting and said, "Qin's defender Meng Wu, I greet the envoy from the Undead Mountains!"

Anshi Gediaomao then introduced himself with Xiongnu etiquette: "Xiongnu envoy Anshi Gediaomao, greetings to the envoy from the Mountains of the Dead!"

Mogaos simply ignored the Hun envoy.

Being ignored, An Shige Diaomao did not dare to express any opinion at all. He just stood behind Meng Wu with his head lowered.

After the greeting, Meng Wu immediately asked, "I wonder what the envoy has come for?"

Mogaos immediately said, "General Meng, my lord the Lich King will arrive in Yiqu in seven days to visit the King of Qin." Hearing this, Meng Wu's face suddenly became solemn, and he said, "The meeting between the two kings is not a trivial matter. Let me report to our king first and wait for the king's decision!"

Mogaos was silent for a moment, then said, "But please tell the King of Qin that my lord, the Lich King, is named Fusu!"

"What?" Meng Wu exclaimed in surprise when he heard this. His eyes showed an expression of disbelief.

Fusu, isn't he the eldest prince of Qin? Half a year ago, Meng Tian sent a letter saying that Fusu had left Xianyang without permission and his whereabouts were unknown. The king was furious and asked him to pay attention and ask him to return to Xianyang immediately if he saw him.

Seeing Meng Wu's surprised expression, Mo Gaosi said with certainty: "My lord the Lich King is called Fusu, and he is also the eldest son of the Qin State."

"what?"

This time it was An Shige Diao who cried out in surprise. At this moment, many thoughts and doubts popped up in his mind.

Mogaos continued, "My lord's words have been conveyed! In seven days, my lord, the Lich King, will arrive at Yiqu Pass. Please, General Meng, convey this to the King of Qin as soon as possible. Don't keep my lord waiting for too long! Goodbye!"

"By the way, our army has retreated thirty miles. The Xiongnu outside the pass still have half a day to enter the pass. After the sun sets, any Xiongnu who still stay in the Hetao Plain will be killed without mercy."

After saying this, Morgoth jumped on his horse, turned his horse around and left.

Meng Wu saw this and did not stop him, but ordered someone to open the gate and send Mogos away.

"General Meng, quickly open the gate and let the Xiongnu outside the pass, no, the people of the Qin outside the pass, let them enter the pass quickly!"

After Mogaos left, Anshi Gediaomao immediately spoke anxiously to Mengwu.

He knew that no matter how much doubt he had in his heart, the Xiongnu now had no choice. He was even worried that Meng Wu would cooperate and be unwilling to open the gate, and the remaining 50,000 Xiongnu compatriots outside would surely die.

"Open the gate and let the Huns outside the pass continue to enter!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Wu hesitated for a long time before giving the order to open the switch again.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Wu sent someone to deliver an urgent report to Xianyang, and also sent someone to escort the Hun envoy to Xianyang.

After seeing off the Xiongnu envoy, Meng Wu returned to the city gate and summoned a group of generals to begin an emergency discussion.

The situation is terrible now.

First of all, there are 200,000 undead cavalrymen of unknown combat effectiveness gathered thirty miles outside Yiqiu Pass. Although there are envoys visiting, the enemy may still break through the pass at any time, and the defense arrangements in various places still need to be strengthened.

Moreover, with the appearance of 200,000 undead cavalry, people in the city will certainly be in panic, evil rumors will spread, and the morale of the army will also be shaken.

How to settle the Xiongnu, and whether they will really surrender? Even if they are unarmed, the number of 60,000 to 70,000 people is still a huge threat.

If these Huns and the 200,000 Undead Cavalry outside the city join forces, the 200,000 Qin troops here alone may find it difficult to cope with them. We still need to ask the king to send more troops to Yiqu Pass as soon as possible.

It is also impossible to confirm whether what the undead named Mogaos said is true, whether Fusu is the Lich King, or whether Fusu is controlled by demons.

----------

"That surprised expression is really memorable. I wonder if my father will be just as surprised when he sees me. And I wonder how the second brother Gao is doing now! Does he miss my preaching?"

"But Meng Wu reminded me that the sword in the hands of a loving father can chop down the body of a wandering son. I have to be on guard when I go home!"

On the Hetao Plain, in the luxurious carriage, Fusu showed a playful smile.

As the Lich King, the lord of millions of undead, Fusu can share the perspective and voice with any of his undead with just a thought, and can even replace the consciousness of his undead at will.

"Bada Wan, pass on my order to slow down the march. After all the undead in the Hetao Plain have cleared the Xiongnu, they should immediately gather towards Yiqu."
