Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 59: Send an Extra Hundred Thousand

After leaving Yiqiu Pass, it took another ten days of journey by car.

The Qin peace negotiation team finally arrived near the southern entrance of the Mountains of the Dead.

The spring here is completely different from the one when we just left Yiqiu Pass.

The wind was biting cold and the snow was falling heavily. Everywhere you looked, there was only snow. The grass and trees were withered and yellow, and there was no sign of life at all.

"Herod...!"

The horses in the team suddenly panicked collectively.

"defense!"

Looking at the horses that were collectively panicked, the centurion immediately shouted orders.

The thousand soldiers escorting the convoy responded quickly. The carriages were gathered in the middle, the horses' legs were tied with ropes, and the soldiers formed a "Hui" formation around the carriages, with shield soldiers and long spear soldiers on the outside and archers inside. The vehicles were surrounded by sword and shield soldiers.

A little bit...

In the wind and snow, the rumbling sound of horse hooves gradually came. In the flying snow, thousands of blue flames gradually approached the Qin army along with the sound of horse hooves.

The horses in the team also neighed in panic. If their legs had not been tied up with ropes, they would have probably run away.

Soon... the faint blue flame in the wind and snow reached the team and began to circle around the team.

These were skeleton cavalrymen with soul flames burning in their eye sockets. They wore ragged and old armor, held rusty weapons, and circled around the Qin army without saying a word.

Looking at these undead cavalrymen who seemed to come from hell, the Qin soldiers who were protecting the convoy couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Princess Huayang pulled open the door curtain and looked at the undead cavalry outside. Although it was not the first time she had seen them, she could not help but feel scared at this time, considering the surrounding environment. She grabbed the door nervously, her face pale.

Looking at the undead that surrounded them, Li Si was also nervous. He quickly took out the imperial edict and held it high, shouting loudly: "We are envoys from the Qin State, and we are ordered to negotiate with your country! Please remove the siege and let us pass!"

Hearing Li Si's shout and looking at the imperial edict held high by Li Si, the surrounding Skeleton Cavalry finally stopped.

A death knight rode out from the crowd, looked at Li Si who was holding the imperial edict high, and ordered: "Change their horses!"

These horses, which have not been specially trained, cannot travel with the dead.

In Wang Jian's "prisoner camp", in Wang Jian's general's tent.

Looking at Li Mu in front of him, Wang Jian was obviously stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You were also captured alive!"

"Hey! Isn't this Wang Jian?"

Looking at the old enemy in front of him, Li Mu shook his head and sighed, "I heard that you brought a full 250,000 soldiers and horses, but they were all captured alive. I am lucky. I only brought 100,000 soldiers and horses! There are really not enough troops. There is nothing I can do! I can only save the lives of the soldiers!"

It was as if he would never surrender if he had as many soldiers as Wang Jian. Now he surrendered to save the lives of his soldiers.

Facing the ridicule of his old rival, Wang Jian laughed and said, "You are wrong. As far as I know, General Li Mu has more than 100,000 men. Together with the Shanrong and Donghu people, there must be 200,000 or 300,000 men. More than half of them are cavalry, but they all surrendered. I only have 10,000 cavalry!"

"What do you mean by adding Donghu!" Li Mu got angry when talking about Donghu, and said angrily: "Donghu is basically the enemy. I was surrounded when I woke up!"

“Hahaha!” Upon hearing this, Wang Jian burst into laughter without any scruples, mockingly saying, “It turns out that you, Li Mu, can’t even distinguish friend from foe! You woke up to find yourself surrounded by friendly forces. Tsk tsk, your reputation as a famous general is not worthy of your name!”

"Ha!" Li Mu sneered. "You are talking as if the Qin State has not been deceived. Otherwise, why would you, Wang Jian, be here?"

Wang Jian: "." If I hadn't heard what Li Mu said, who would have thought that this Donghu would be the Lich King's man. From the beginning, the rumors that the Undead Mountains were empty inside and the joint attack were all scams.

Li Mu sighed: "Alas! Everyone has been calculated by the Lich King! Everyone thought that the Undead Mountains were empty, but in fact, the Undead Mountains are heavily armed. Wang Jian, what do you think is the purpose of the Lich King doing this?"

"I don't know!" Wang Jian shrugged.

Li Mu's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he said: "The Lich King wants..."

"Old General, what are you discussing?"

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice came into the tent, and Li Mu stopped what he was about to say.

Then, a girl about ten years old walked into the tent and looked at the two of them with a smile on her face.

"Princess Huayang!!!"

When Wang Jian saw the person coming, his eyes widened immediately with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"It's me. I didn't expect that!" Princess Huayang winked mischievously. She looked at the other person in the tent, Li Mu, and bowed: "This must be General Li Mu! Huayang has heard of your name for a long time, but this is the first time we meet. Huayang is polite."

"Li Mu greets the Princess of Qin!" Seeing this, Li Mu quickly returned the greeting.

"What were the two generals talking about just now? Can you come to Huayang to listen too?" Princess Huayang asked again.

Wang Jian changed the subject and asked in confusion: "Princess, why are you here?"

Huayang said with a smile: "My father heard that the old general was trapped here, so he asked me, Lord Li Si, to redeem you! I am just here to have fun! The scenery here is really different from that in Qin. The sky is blue, the land is vast, the grass is green, and there are many birds singing. I have never seen such a beautiful scenery!"

"It's my fault that I've dragged down Princess Huayang!" Wang Jian said with guilt after hearing this. They weren't here to have fun, they were clearly being used as hostages to exchange for him and the 250,000 captured soldiers to go back.

Princess Huayang, this is Zulong’s most beloved eldest princess.

"General, what are you talking about!" Hua Yang said quickly, "I haven't seen my elder brother for a long time. I miss him so much. I begged my father to let me come! I used to have a good relationship with my elder brother. He won't make things difficult for me."

"Lord Li Si is already negotiating with the commander of the undead. I think it won't be long before the old general can lead his troops back!"

Looking at Wang Jian and Princess Huayang, Li Mu felt inexplicably envious.
-
"What? An extra 100,000?"

In the army of undead, on the carriage of Odebiao, Li Si was shocked by Odebiao's words and stood up.

Odebiao's words were really too unbelievable.

Odebiao said distressedly: "Of course, as you can see, we undead don't produce crops, and this Undead Mountain Range can't grow crops either. So Li Mu and the 100,000 Zhao troops are given to you! Just think of it as a package redemption!"

"That? Can we not have it?" Li Si asked in a tangled manner. One hundred thousand captives, or Zhao captives, plus Li Mu. This is definitely a great benefit to Qin.

But Li Si didn't dare to accept it, for fear that this was another plan of the Lich King.

Odebiao shook his head: "No! Either you take Li Mu and the 100,000 Zhao troops back with you, or you don't take anyone back."

"This! Okay!" Li Si had no choice but to agree after hearing that.
