All Hail Cousin Brother - Chapter 672

Chapter 672: Isn’t He Stupid?

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Realizing that his defeat was obvious and that Yin Huaixi wouldn’t let him off easily, he made up his mind. He wanted to kill 800 enemy soldiers but lose 1000 of his own. In the end, he didn’t hesitate to exchange an arm for Yin Huaixi’s arm.

At that time, he felt that Yin Huaixi was unfathomable. Now that his legs had recovered, he was a terrifying threat to the Northern Barbarians. Breaking his arm could also reduce his prestige.

He did not expect to fail.

Yin Huaixi nodded. “That’s great!”

With Harmon’s arm gone, the Di Army did not dare to delay and retreated like a tide.

The aura of the You army trembled violently, and the drumbeats shook the sky like thunder. The cheers of the soldiers almost drowned out the knocking.

Yin Qi hurriedly went forward to support Yin Huaixi. “Young Master, how are your injuries? The military doctor is already waiting…”

“It’s nothing. Let’s go back first!” Yin Huaixi looked at his arm helplessly. The long wound ran from under his shoulder to his elbow. If it was any deeper, his arm would probably be crippled.

This was troublesome.

He had originally wanted to win this battle at the lowest price, so as soon as he stepped onto the martial arts arena, he kept going through the schemes in his mind. However, he had still underestimated him. After Harmon, an old general who had been through hundreds of battles, sensed his scheme, he did not hesitate to injure 800 enemies and lose 1000 to cripple his arm.

His arm was not crippled, but it would take more than half a month to recover from such a serious injury.

If the little girl found out, she might even be angry and cry. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Yin Huaixi frowned and instructed Yin Qi, “Don’t tell Yao Yao about my injuries for the time being. Just say that Harmon isn’t feeling well and the trade talks will be postponed.”

It was already mid-June. Harmon had lost an arm. It would take at least ten days to half a month. The discussions can only proceed when his injuries stabilized.

Since it was a matter of interest, the negotiations would not happen overnight. It would also take time for both sides to reach a consensus.

After the meeting ended, it was the first official transaction between the two sides. They had to be even more cautious about a large number of supplies. Both sides had to test their sincerity further and spend time to achieve common interests.

After this ordeal, he might not even be able to return in August, let alone July.

Yin Huaixi’s face darkened.

Yin Qi prepared strips of cloth to tighten and bandage the wound.

Young Master defeating Harmon was not simple and could only be achieved with thorough planning.

The old king and Harmon had fought for many years. From a young age, Young Master had known the methods of the Northern Barbarians to deal with the enemy clearly. He had even thought of a way to defeat the enemy and win.

Be it the speed of the knife or the angle, it was strange and tricky. It was all aimed at the Di people’s weakness.

On the other hand, the first time Harmon and Young Master met on a narrow path at the narrow Yu Pass, he was caught off guard by Young Master in one go. Not only was he unable to figure out Young Master’s plans, but he also knew very little about him. For a moment, he was in a hurry and accidentally fell into the Young Master’s trap.

The key to winning was to know oneself and the enemy.

In the past two years, Young Master’s weak image had been too deeply rooted in people’s hearts. Harmon’s fear of Young Master was mostly expressed in

Young Master’s lead, command, tactics, and schemes.

Although Young Master’s leg had already recovered, the deep-rooted impression of him was not easy to change.

Moreover, Young Master had yet to reach his prime, and he was a far cry from

Harmon, who had been through hundreds of battles. In Harmon’s eyes, Young Master was just a young man. Even if he had some talent in leading troops to war, his strength was definitely inferior to his skills, which had been honed over the years.

It was impossible for Harmon to imagine that some people fought with their brains. All their reactions, movements, speed, dodging, and so on, could be accurately calculated and predicted.

Harmon had underestimated his enemy.

For the sake of Young Master’s safety, Young Miss had to prepare dozens or hundreds of incense medicines every time he went on a long journey. Among them, there was no lack of incense and poisonous incense. It was unpredictable and impossible to guard against.

In terms of methods, Harmon was inferior to Young Master.

After coming up with all kinds of meticulous schemes, the battle between Young Master and Harmon happened.

However, Harmon was also a ruthless person. He was harsh with himself and even more so to others. This was probably something the Young Master had not expected.

As soon as he returned to the tent, the military doctor immediately came over to help Yin Huaixi treat the wound on his arm.

The more Yin Huaixi thought about it, the more depressed he felt. He couldn’t help but say, “The Di people respect the strong. I suggested fighting Harmon to avoid some hidden dangers and trouble in the negotiations.l wanted to facilitate a smooth discussion and accelerate the transaction process. Bloodshed is inevitable, but I can’t be too heavy-handed.”

Yin Qi did not say anything. He thought to himself, Young Master’s leg has just recovered and his strength hasn’t completely recovered. Harmon was born with brute force and has been on the battlefield for a long time. If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible, Young Master wouldn’t have taken the risk to propose a battle with Harmon.’ It was right to win the competition.

In the subsequent discussions, they also had the upper hand, and it wasn’t wrong.

It was not wrong to defeat Di army’s morale and damage Harmon’s vitality.

But!

Yin Qi silently glanced at Young Master, who was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. His goal had been achieved, but all of this was completely different from Young Master’s plan.

They hunted wild geese all day, but were ultimately pecked by them.

This boat had capsized a little too badly.

Yin Huaixi gritted his teeth. “l want to take Harmon’s dog life on the battlefield legitimately, not an insignificant arm. Sacrificing 1000 of his own to kill 100 enemies, don’t you think Harmon is stupid?!”

Harmon wanted to trade an arm for an arm, so he hit hard.

Yin Qi thought for a moment. “Before the battle, Young Master mentioned that there shall not be any complaints even if someone were to lose an arm or a leg. Harmon knows that even if he loses, he can’t take a bad loss.”

Otherwise, where would the face and prestige of a dignified leader go?

How would he lead his subordinates?

Yin Huaixi was speechless. “Since swords have no eyes, it’s better to make some things clear in advance. I only said it in case Harmon really loses a limb and the Di people would not let it go!’

Yin Qi shut up.

Yin Huaixi rubbed his eyebrows hard. “The Di people lack supplies, and their medical skills are not as good as the Great Zhou. Go to the storeroom and pick out some good medicinal herbs and supplements. Bring a military doctor with good medical skills to look for Harmon.”

Yu Youyao counted the days and finally made it to July. She began to look forward to her cousin’s return.

In less than two days, Yu Youyao received a letter from Yin Qi.

This letter was in her cousin’s usual concise style. He only mentioned that the return date would be delayed. He did not mention the reason, let alone the exact date. Yu Youyao’s expectations turned to disappointment. She took a deep breath and asked Yin Qi, “What happened?”

Yin Qi lowered his head and said, “Harmon is seriously injured.”

Yu Youyao’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly asked, “Where’s Cousin? Is he injured? Did the two sides have a conflict?”

The North and the Northern Barbarians had been at war for many years and hated each other. It was very difficult to let go of their hatred and grudges.

Harmon’s suggestion of a deal seemed to be showing weakness to the Great Zhou, but in fact, both sides were taking a lot of risks.

It was very likely that they would fight at the slightest disagreement..
