Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 48 Who Made the Rumor about the Lich King?
Huang Pi, the Chanyu of Donghu, was thinking about how to give up this hot position of Chanyu.

His eldest son, Zigesu, came in with a frown on his face and said, "Father Khan, there is news of more dead souls coming from the Xiongnu!"

Hearing the news about the dead, Huang Xiong quickly asked, "What's the news?"

What he feared most now was news about the undead, and he didn't even want to hear news about the Huns.

Unfortunately, he was the Chanyu of Donghu, and this news concerned the survival of Donghu, so he had to listen and actively inquire about it.

"Rumors, they are rumors!" Sigsu solemnly emphasized that it was a rumor, and then said: "The twenty-three countries in the Western Regions united and declared that they would never submit to the Lich King. They even assembled more than 1.1 million troops to resist the Lich King's 800,000 undead. Now the battle situation is very stalemate. The 80,000 Huns also suffered heavy losses.

There are also rumors that the twenty-three countries in the Western Regions have threatened to recruit all the men and able-bodied women in the Western Regions to fight the Lich King to the death.

Now the Lich King has sent an additional 600,000 undead into the Western Regions, hoping to defeat the combined forces of the 23 Western Regions in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, Huangpi Chanyu frowned even more.

As for the Western Regions, he didn't know much because of their old enemy, the Huns, who separated them. He just heard that it was mostly Gobi and desert.

But it is not impossible for twenty-three countries to gather an army of more than 1.1 million. It should be a place similar to the Central Plains.

Huang Pi didn't quite believe that an army of 1.1 million could hold out against 800,000 undead.

After thinking for a while, Huang Xiong asked Qi Gesu, "Do you know how the Western Regions blocked 800,000 undead souls?"

"Rumors, just rumors!" Zigsu emphasized that it was a rumor again, and then continued, "The Western Regions are mostly deserts and Gobi, with special terrain. The coalition forces of the 23 countries in the Western Regions relied on their numerical advantage and terrain environment to fight against the 800,000 undead of the Lich King, but there are no specific rumors!"

"Terrain?" Huang Xiong pondered.

Of course he knew the importance of terrain in war.

But do the undead care about the terrain when they fight? They are all dead, they don't need supplies, they don't need to rest, they are not afraid of heat, they are not afraid of cold, they are not afraid of injuries, they are not afraid of poisonous miasma, and they are extremely difficult to eliminate.

Zigsu shrugged and said, "That's why I said it was a rumor! How can we rely on the terrain to stop the Lich King's 800,000 undead?"

"No!" Huang Xiong shook his head and said, "The terrain can indeed expand the advantage. Where did this rumor come from?"

Zigesu: "Hun, it is rumored that many Huns have died in the battle. This is the news from the Huns who came back to report the death."

"Xiongnu!" Huang Pi said to himself after hearing this: "Although the Xiongnu submitted to the Lich King, they were also forced to do so by the Lich King's strength. This news may be true."

"Any other rumors?"

Zigsu said seriously, "Yes, there are rumors that the Lich King has sent 600,000 more undead into the Western Regions. The Undead Mountains are now empty, and there are even more rumors spreading among my Donghu tribe."

Huang Xiong asked, "What's the rumor?"

"Rumor has it that after the Lich King takes over the Western Regions, his next target will be to attack us and the Shanrong and occupy the entire grassland. And now there is a rumor in my tribe that now that the Undead Mountains are empty, it is the best time for us to annex the Xiongnu grasslands and attack the Undead Mountains. If we miss this opportunity, when the Lich King annexes the Western Regions, the Donghu will never have a chance to turn things around."

"There are rumors that you, my father, have joined forces with the Shanrong Rongshu King and want to seize this opportunity to attack the Undead Mountains. You have ordered all tribes to gather at the Xilamulun River."

"Bullshit!" Huangpi Chanyu cursed angrily after hearing this.

He knew how powerful the undead were, so how could they make such a stupid decision?

But~ in the eyes of those who don't know the true situation of the Undead, this is definitely a decision that meets strategic needs. After cursing, Huang Xiong continued to ask: "Where did the rumor come from? Which tribes of my Donghu are gathering at the Xilamulun River? What is the reaction of the Undead Mountains?"

"This!" Zigsu hesitated for a moment and said, "There is no way to know where the rumor came from. At present, no tribe has gathered at the Xilamulun River, and the tribal leader has even called you an idiot! There is no reaction from the Undead Mountains!"

"Uh!" Huangpi Chanyu was speechless after hearing this, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

Fortunately, no tribe is currently gathering towards the Xilamulun River.

The sad thing is that currently no tribe has gathered towards the Xilamulun River, and they are still being called idiots.

Idiot!
Huang Xiong suddenly had an idea and said to Qigesu, "Son! Your father has always had high hopes for you since you were young! You are also..."

Σ(⊙▽⊙）
Zigsu was shocked and turned away without waiting for Huang Xiong to finish speaking.

Huang Xiong saw this and quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zigesu's arm, and said earnestly: "Son, your father is old! You should also take on the responsibility~"

Being pulled back, Qige quickly interrupted: "Father Khan, I am still young and cannot take on the position of Chanyu. Besides, I have never thought of becoming Chanyu. You are only forty-three years old now, in the prime of life."

Huang Xiong: "I have had high hopes for you since you were little, and have always trained you to be the next Chanyu. You see, the Lich King is called Fusu, and there is also a Su in your name, so you must..."

"Father Khan, don't dare to say that." Zigesu interrupted quickly: "Didn't my second brother threaten last year that he would become a great Chanyu like father? Forget it. I really don't want to be a Chanyu. I plan to take a few people to Zhao State tomorrow and become a Zhao citizen, leaving another bloodline for our family."

After saying that, Zigesu exerted all his strength, broke free from Huang Xiong's hand, and ran away.

Now, Shanyu Chunchun is an insulting word, not even suitable for a dog.

"Oh! It would be nice to go to Zhao State!"

Looking at his son running out of the tent, Huang Xiong sighed helplessly but did not chase him.

The fate of the Xiongnu Chanyu Touman is still fresh in our memory. Now, unless you are stupid, you will not want to be a Chanyu again.

But if a fool is allowed to be the Chanyu, he will sooner or later anger the tyrannical Lich King. No one knows how high the price will be, and no one wants to bear it.

Even if the tribal leaders do not want to be the Chanyu, they will never allow someone who is not smart enough to be the Chanyu.

"Someone come here!" Huang Pi shouted outside the tent.

"Chanyu!" Hearing the shout, the personal soldiers outside the tent immediately walked in.

Huang Xiong ordered: "Notify all tribes immediately, do not believe in rumors, and do not spread them. Arrange people to clarify the rumors immediately. Also, no one is allowed to lead their troops to gather at the Xilamulun River. No, tell all tribes that no one is allowed to go to the Xilamulun River. Anyone found will be killed without mercy. Even if it is just one tribe, it must be wiped out immediately! Go!"

After the personal guards left, Huang Bin frowned and started thinking again.

"Who on earth is so bold as to spread rumors about the Lich King?"

If he hadn't actually fought against the undead, he might have been tempted this time.
