Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 29: Target of Expedition, Maodun Returns Home

"Go put up the world map!"

Mountains of the Dead, Valley of the Dead, Frozen Palace.

The first thing Fusu did after returning was to ask his ghosts to hang the world map on the huge ice wall specially built in the palace.

"Which side do you think the Huns will attack first?"

When the map was hung up, Fusu admired it and asked the three undead spirits, Bada Wan, Sang Biao and Fen Zhenrou, behind him without turning his head.

Sang Biao looked at the map on the ice wall, thought for a while, and said, "It should be the Donghu! The Xiongnu and the Donghu have been fighting for the interests of the grassland for a long time, and they have long been resentful! And getting more grassland is also very beneficial to the Xiongnu! It will allow them to raise more cattle, sheep and horses to pay tribute to my lord!"

"I don't think so!" Fen Zhenrou shook her head and looked at the territory of Dayuezhi on the map and said, "The Xiongnu and Donghu have indeed had a long-standing grudge, but their grudge against Dayuezhi is not much less.

Although gaining more grasslands was indeed very beneficial to the Xiongnu, and the territory of the Great Yuezhi was mostly Gobi Desert, however, the Great Yuezhi was weaker than the Donghu.

Moreover, the Donghu are a little far from us, and Touman is probably worried that he will attack the Donghu alone or take the lead. Touman should pay more attention to our needs and opinions, so the Xiongnu are more likely to attack the Dayuezhi who are closer to us, so that it will be easier for my undead to send troops to attack, and the Xiongnu will have less pressure. "

"Compared to the Donghu and Dayuezhi, I actually prefer the north!" Badawan said, "There are few people there and the ice fields are vast, which is very suitable for us. The Xiongnu won't have to pay too much to take it down!"

The three undead spirits each expressed their own opinions.

But no one mentioned Zhao State.

This is not only because Zhao was powerful and its cities were strong, but also because after Maodun went back and told what he had done and seen, unless Touman was stupid he would never choose Zhao.

"Dayuezhi!" Fusu said with a smile: "For the Xiongnu, it is most advantageous to attack Dayuezhi. Although it does not bring them any benefit, they will not have to pay too much price with my undead leading the attack.

In addition, the northern part is sparsely populated and has many ice fields. Although it is not as good as grassland for grazing, it can also raise many cold-resistant animals. Moreover, they can easily conquer it themselves, which can completely make up for the disadvantage that they have no advantage in attacking the Great Yuezhi. "

"They used to look down on the further north, but now they have no choice. They will definitely be happy to take over the sparsely populated further north alone."

"And I want the entire Western Region!"

——————Northern Prairie————————

After half a month of riding and inquiring, Maodun, escorted by six death knights, finally found his tribe, the Touman tribe.

When they were five miles away from the Tuoman tribe, the team escorting Maodun was stopped by a group of Xiongnu patrol cavalrymen with bows. The leader of the Xiongnu shouted, "Stop! Who are you?"

"I am Maodun, the son of Tuoman Great Chanyu! The six people behind me are the adults from the Mountains of the Dead!"

Seeing this, Maodun immediately spoke loudly and pulled down his hood.

The six undead responsible for escorting behind also pulled down their hoods, revealing helmets covered with knife and axe marks and skulls burning with soul flames.

When these patrolling Huns saw that the person coming was actually Maodun, with six undead ghosts following him, their eyes widened and their faces became terrified.

They were not surprised by Maodun's return, but instead felt frightened and uneasy.

When they saw the six death knights following Maodun also pulled down their hoods, they felt even more uneasy!

They were deeply afraid of the Lich King, especially the Huns who had returned from the Hetao Plains through the Mountains of the Undead, who were even more terrified at the mere mention of the undead.

Their fear of the Lich King made them instinctively think that Maodun had committed some mistake and was sent back, and that the Lich King was going to bring him to justice.

Seeing the panic-stricken faces of the patrolling Huns, Maodun quickly said, "It is the King's grace that has granted me two months to come back to visit my parents, and I have something important to tell my father the Khan when I return!"

After hearing Maodun's words, the Hun patrol soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The leader said quickly: "The Great Chanyu is in the tribe now, let's go there quickly! We can't let the Lich King miss the important event!"

After that, this group of Xiongnu cavalry acted as guides and outer guards, escorting Maodun's team to the Touman tribe, fearing that they would neglect the six death knights around Maodun.

----------

Five miles is not very far, and it only takes half a minute to get there on horseback.

"Ashinabuca, weren't they out on patrol? How come they're back so soon? Is that Maodun?"

"Why is Maodun back? How could he come back?"

The Touman tribe, the Xiongnu who were asked to gather, were confused at first when they saw the patrolling cavalry returning, but when they saw Maodun, they were all horrified.

Now everyone knows that Maodun was sent to the Undead Mountains as a hostage in exchange for the safety of the Xiongnu. Now that Maodun has suddenly returned, it is hard not to make them feel uneasy and make wild guesses. "Are those six cavalrymen the undead?"

There were also young men looking at the six death knights around Maodun with curiosity in their eyes.

Although they had seen corpse riders of the same race, this was the first time they saw the undead in the Mountains of the Dead.

"Modun, Modun!"

In Touman's tent, Touman took off his shoes and outer clothes, wiped the saliva from under his eyes, and then ran out of his tent with excitement on his face.

At first glance, it looks like he missed her so much that he was so excited that he didn't even bother to put on his shoes.

"Modun! My son, you are back!"

Soon, Touman came to Maodun barefoot and immediately hugged him excitedly, crying.

"Father Khan!" Maodun was also very excited.

"Snapped!"

The next second, Touman slapped Maodun in the face, and the right side of Maodun's face immediately swelled up.

“Father~~!”

Maodun, who was slapped, looked at Touman in confusion and wanted to ask something.

"Snapped!"

Touman slapped Maodun on the left cheek again, angrily scolding: "Who allowed you to come back? You treat the survival of the Xiongnu as nothing. Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the great Lich King?"

After saying that, Touman immediately slapped Maodun twice on the face, making Maodun see stars and unable to speak for a while.

The surrounding Huns also looked at Maodun with an expression of disappointment.

In their minds, protons would not be easily released, and even dying in a foreign country was common. Now that Maodun had only been gone for three months and was back, it was inevitable that they were worried.

After defeating Maodun, Touman immediately knelt down and said to the undead who escorted Maodun back: "Please forgive me, Maodun is still young, please..."

"My king has granted Maodun two months to come back and visit his parents. We are only responsible for escorting him, that's all! Now that Maodun has been sent back to you, it's time for us to go back and report! After two months, you will send him to the Mountains of the Dead!"

Looking at the servile Touman, the leading Death Knight just spoke lightly, then rode away with his Death Knights without even saying goodbye.

It seemed that Touman was insignificant in his eyes, and Touman's behavior was also insignificant in his eyes.

"Congratulations to the envoy!"

Seeing the Death Knight riding away without even giving him a chance to stay, Touman Chanyu did not feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. Instead, he shouted loudly at the Death Knight's back in a very servile manner.

Seeing Touman's servile behavior, some young Huns immediately showed disdain in their eyes.

But more middle-aged and elderly Huns had eyes full of emotion, because they knew that their leader, Chanyu Touman, actually possessed great ambitions, and pride and backbone that were taller than the mountains.

But the Lich King was too powerful, and the power of the undead was too great for the Huns to resist. For the survival of the Huns, Touman Chanyu had no choice but to bow down and flatter.

After the six death knights rode away, Touman said to Maodun with a distressed look on his face: "Modun, I hurt you just now! But you have to forgive your father. There is nothing I can do!"

Touman, who received the news early, of course knew that Maodun was released by the Lich King on purpose.

But he had to act, he had to let the escorting undead see that he loved his only son very much and that Maodun, the hostage, was not dispensable. He also had to let the escorting undead see that he was very respectful of the Lich King and had no intention of resisting.

"Father Khan, for the sake of the Xiongnu, I don't feel any pain! Even if Father wants to chop off my head, Maodun will never complain!"

"Damn it, I got slapped four times for nothing!"

Maodun heard this and spoke quickly, but he was indignant in his heart.

"Well, you are worthy of being my son, worthy of being my son! Thank you for your hard work, my son!"

Upon hearing this, Touman hugged Maodun and burst into tears.

"Alas, it's a pity that I can no longer have children. I must quickly and secretly adopt a few adopted sons and raise them up!"
