Chapter 1821
Xuan Xin stood up, giving the impression to outsiders that her attempts to comfort him were fruitless, while Prince Xiao Zheng began to cry again.
He watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh.
He can really act!
Why does a child have such a big scheming mind?
He was the one who killed the second prince, wasn't he afraid?
Yes.
He hinted that what he did was clearly to kill his father. He even dared to do such a thing. What else was he afraid of?
Kill your brother and kill your father!
Just because of the throne, a thirteen-year-old child became like this.
Just because of the throne, Emperor Longjing could not give up and pursue the elusive eternal life...
Emperor Longjing cannot die yet.
If he died, then Guan Ning's reason for rebellion would not be so sufficient...
Xuan Xin was beside him, and at this moment his face seemed to have an expression of success.
He is not a member of Longjing Emperor Xiao Chengdao, nor is he a member of Prince Xiao Zheng, he is just a person who disrupts the government...
The funeral of the second prince Xiao Meng ended in a hurry and was not spread under deliberate control. It was also quickly covered up by several other major events.
The imperial court decided to mobilize elites from various armies to form the Huben Army, and appointed Yu Wenxiong as the general.
In the early morning, Gao Lian took the lead in impeaching Xiao An, the king of Huaiyang, saying that as a vassal king, he secretly hid an army and made weapons privately... The charges were true.
Emperor Longjing was furious when he heard this and ordered the throne to be cut off and the palace to be abolished. The entire family was demoted to common people.
This incident has left many people a little confused, so the King of Huaiyang has already been reduced to a vacant position, leaving no way for him to survive!
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Longjing praised Guan Ning and his Zhenbei Army, describing him as my good consort many times, and also said that he would be heavily rewarded when he returns victorious.
It looks like the father-in-law appreciates the son-in-law, they are really a family.
Later, Emperor Longjing proposed that because Dakang had been at peace for a long time, all the armies were lacking in combat power. In order to learn from the Zhenbei Army, a summer spring exercise would be held to change this situation. All armies would go to the north in batches to fight against the barbarians.
Experience.
In fact, many people have discovered this problem. In recent years, Dakang has faced many wars. Although there are many troops, there is no one to use them. The Zhenbei Army always has to take the lead.
A country cannot rely on just one army. It is urgent to improve the combat effectiveness of each army.
Going to the wilderness for experience is a good choice...
Many courtiers felt that His Majesty had regained his sanity, but a few felt an unusual atmosphere.
For ordinary city residents, there is no feeling at all. Mainly the war situation in the north attracts more attention.
Everyone was waiting for the outcome of Guan Ning's counterattack into the wilderness. In the blink of an eye, two months had passed...
Wilderness, Tucker City.
As the place where the royal court is located, all the affiliated tribes of the Naiman tribe surround it like stars over the moon, so it is also the safest place.
Now, Tucker City is in chaos, and countless barbarians are scrambling to flee. The high-ranking officials of the royal court and the nobles in the city have lost their former majesty, and they can only hurriedly put some valuables on oxcarts and drive away quickly.
This is especially true for ordinary people, who are scattered like ants on a hot pot...
"Run quickly, Taiyang Khan has already said that he will abandon the royal court and continue to move north."
"Batu's army was wiped out, Zuoxian King Wuji died in battle, and the royal court has no power to resist."
"I heard that Taiyang Khan went to negotiate with the King of Zhenbei in person, but I don't know what the result will be. What if the negotiation fails?"
"Where can we go when we move north? The three major tribes have long been destroyed."
"The Klei tribe has also emerged from the Eastern Barbarians. What will our Naiman tribe do?"
People were running and talking, fear permeating the air.
A month ago, the Zhenbei Army launched a siege around Tucker City. Although it was barely blocked, it also suffered heavy losses. Then bad news came back. The three major tribes in the northern barbarians suffered heavy losses, their foundations were destroyed, and their nests were destroyed.
Broken, even the escape route is cut off.
At this time, the enemy's offensive became more and more fierce. A few days ago, Batu's army was assassinated and destroyed, and the situation deteriorated to the extreme. Under this pressure, Taiyang Khan decided to go to Zhenbei King to negotiate in person.
The outcome of the negotiation will also determine their future.
The Jinsong Tribe is located south of Tucker City, not too far away. It has been occupied by Guan Ning and has become a temporary camp.
An important guest is coming here today. Guan Ning goes out to greet him in person and meets the Naiman tribe’s Taiyang Khan to worship Buhua.
He only brought four entourage with him, five people in total.
He was surrounded by officers and soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, but his expression did not change at all. Such a demeanor was not something ordinary people could have.
The two of them looked at each other, but Guan Ning frowned. He found that although Bai Buhua had the common characteristics of barbarians, they didn't seem to be complete.
"Aren't you a pure barbarian?"
Guan Ning asked subconsciously. This was entirely his first impression. He still spoke in the Central Plains dialect.
"My mother is from the Central Plains."
What Bai Buhua said turned out to be pure Chinese dialect.
Guan Ning nodded, this kind of situation is actually not uncommon. The barbarians invaded and snatched the women back, and then this kind of mixed blood was born.
But the status of such people is very low, especially among barbarians, because they feel that their blood is impure.
To sit in the position of the Great Khan with such a status is enough to illustrate his ability.
"Please."
Guan Ning welcomed them into a yurt, and they both sat down.
"The King of Zhenbei is responsible for dealing with the barbarians. I believe you have the right to make decisions. I can sign a ten-year truce with you."
Please tell me your conditions very directly.
"You are treating me as a prisoner."
"No, it's better than Guan Zian."
Guan Ning shook his head and said: "Guan Zian has signed a contract with you for thirty years."
"The situation was different then, let's just talk about it now."
Bai Buhua said: "You should know that our Naiman tribe has unified the wilderness for so long and has a profound foundation. It will not be beneficial to anyone to continue fighting..."
"I will not sign the armistice contract."
Guan Ning said: "This thing doesn't make any sense to me."
"Why doesn't it make sense?"
"Would we still be sitting here if it made sense?"
Guan Ning's words left Bai Buhua speechless.
"Then what are your conditions? You can tell me directly."
"The Naiman tribe wants to compensate 500,000 sheep, 200,000 cattle, and 100,000 fine war horses."
Guan Ning said: "In addition, I also ask you to move the royal court to Beiman. This is my condition."
"You are just like a lion talking loudly."
Bai Buhua shook his head and said, "It seems that you don't have the slightest sincerity to talk."
"Yes, I didn't want to talk about it in the first place. It was you who came to talk to me."
Guan Ning said calmly: "The advantage now is on my side. I have more than 100,000 troops under my command. In the next time, I will do nothing. I will just wander around the wilderness and harass you. I'll see if you can spend more time."
Starting from."
"If you agree, I will withdraw my troops immediately. If you don't agree, you can leave."
