Chapter 1547 Please Stay in Mobei
He was holding a loaded pistol in his hand, and next to him was a gun that Tang Yun had never seen before.
"Mr. Chu is dressed so formally today, could it be that you are planning to go to war again?"
"Hehe, General Tang, please speak frankly. After hearing what you have to say today, I'm ready to go back. Protecting yourself is extremely important."
Tang Yun smiled after hearing this: "Sir, you are overthinking it. You are the safest person in the Song Kingdom. Rest assured, no one will dare to lay a hand on you."
If no one else is willing to take action, then perhaps only Dong Shilan would dare to do so.
If Dong Shilan really intends to discard her after she's served her purpose, then she'll give her a chance to catch her breath and let her experience all kinds of hardships in life.
"Alright, let's get down to business. General Tang, please feel free to speak your request, His Majesty."
"Alright, since Mr. Chu is such a straightforward person, then I won't hold back either."
"Your Majesty considers Mr. Chu to be an invaluable talent. Without him, we would probably not have been able to win this war against the Xiongnu."
"Yesterday, I announced your portrait to the entire Xiongnu, saying that you are the one who led the Xiongnu to a better life and liberated them. Therefore, His Majesty wishes that you remain in the Xiongnu and contribute to the prosperity of the Xiongnu people."
Chu Chen listened attentively to those few words, but inwardly he sneered.
Dong Shilan's move can be described as taking the "discarding the millstone after it has served its purpose" approach to the extreme.
It's likely that she didn't want to stay and contribute to the development of the Xiongnu, but rather to remain among the Xiongnu as their enemy.
First, he publicized that he led the Song army to destroy the Xiongnu, and then exaggerated his importance in the battle.
This is not praising himself, but rather making himself an enemy of the entire Xiongnu people.
If he were to remain with the Xiongnu, he would be destined to remain with them forever.
She claimed it was to lead the Xiongnu people in construction, but in reality, this was a vicious move. It was truly the most venomous thing a woman could do. At this moment, Dong Shilan had become Chu Chen's kill list.
"Hehe, very good. I'm getting along really well with the Xiongnu people. How many cities does Your Majesty plan to give me to govern?"
"And what about my brothers, my arsenal, everything I own? Can they be brought to the Xiongnu?"
"Mr. Chu is a man of great talent. His Majesty said that even without the chief instructors, he can still lead the Xiongnu people to prosperity. Therefore, they can remain within the territory of the Song Kingdom. Moreover, the entire Xiongnu region will be a place for Mr. Chu to make his mark."
Chu Chen remained silent after hearing this, his face expressionless.
The meaning is clear: Fat Tiger and Niu Zi have to stay in Song to continue manufacturing weapons for them. The reason they gave him the entire Xiongnu territory is that there is a natural barrier between the Xiongnu and Song. If Dong Shilan deploys a large army on the border, he will not be able to fight back, which means he will not be able to rebel.
This move directly trapped him within the Xiongnu territory.
After a long silence, he slowly stood up: "Does Your Majesty intend to demote meritorious officials to this barren land so that you can rule the country alone?"
"Mr. Chu, you mustn't say that. As subjects, how can we presume to know His Majesty's intentions?"
“Alright, since that’s the case, then I will bring my family to the Xiongnu.”
"Mr. Chu, with His Majesty's protection, you can focus more on building up the Xiongnu, can't you?"
Heh, Chu Chen sneered inwardly. He could have imagined Dong Shilan's ruthlessness, but he never expected her to be so heartless, even resorting to threatening him with her own family.
Fortunately, I had the foresight.
"Alright, since Your Majesty is so kind, then Chu Chen will accept."
After saying that, Chu Chen picked up the teacup on the table, took a big gulp, and then extended his hand directly to Tang Yun: "General Tang, please. I'm afraid I might not be able to resist killing you!"
Tang Yun's expression changed. In fact, he also despised Dong Shilan's actions.
But as a subject, he could only obey unconditionally.
"Mr. Chu, take care. In my heart, you will always be my teacher!"
"Heh, General Tang, when someone knowingly continues down the wrong path, that person is doomed!"
After saying that, Chu Chen ignored Tang Yun and turned around to go back into the room.
"Golden Lock, Silver Lock, His Majesty has already abandoned you two. You should leave. I know you are spies, so you cannot stay here with me."
Chu Chen didn't explain much to the two sisters and simply kicked them out of the room.
Although perhaps neither of them knew the truth, since they were sent by Dong Shilan, none of them were safe. At this moment, he had many things to do.
Two problems stood in his way: the first was how to appease the hearts of the Xiongnu people and prevent them from hating him.
The second question is whether Gian received his message and then transferred all his belongings.
Chu Chen would not sit idly by and wait for his death. Since Dong Shilan was unrighteous, then he should not blame himself for being ruthless.
Instead of killing him, they indirectly left the entire Xiongnu territory to him to govern, which seemed like giving him a king of a different surname, but in reality, they wanted him to die in the Xiongnu, which is now the Gobi Desert.
However, Dong Shilan still underestimated Chu Chen. If given territory and people, and with all the advanced ideas in his mind, given time, he would probably become Dong Shilan's nightmare.
Tang Yun's main army set off for Song about three days later, leaving him with only two thousand remnants.
Although these two thousand remaining soldiers were equipped with weapons, they didn't have many bullets. Actually, it wasn't that Tang Yun was heartless; he had already done very well.
However, by the time they were wiping out the Xiongnu, they had already used up most of their bullets.
Therefore, Chu Chen is waiting, waiting for a month. This month is crucial. If Pang Hu successfully breaks through, then he will have nothing to fear.
However, if Fat Tiger fails, then he might have to retreat further north, like the Hunnic officials, to rebuild his forces, establish factories, and then gradually conquer the world.
Inside the room were Gou Shengzi and seven other guards.
The one who had just been bought was ordered to stand guard at the door.
"Everyone, you've all had a long and tiring journey with me."
“Master, what are you saying? We’re living the high life with you, and we get so much money back. We’d be doing just fine even if we risked our lives.”
Chu Chen glanced at them.
"Alright, I won't say too much sentimental stuff, but there's a new situation now. His Majesty has ordered me to establish the Xiongnu here, nominally as a king of a different surname, but in reality, he wants to kill me. So, I'm giving you a chance now. Those who leave now, I won't look down on you or blame you. If you want to leave, then walk out this door, and we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore."
