Chapter 227 Gambling

Prince Dadan, who was drunk by Zhao Ning, glanced at Zhao Ning with a squinted look. Although it was difficult to speak, he still sneered, as if I saw what you wanted to do.

When Dadan Khan found that Zhao Ning seemed very angry, there was a joy of success in his eyes flashing, and he thought to himself: "A young genius with a proud heart, even if you are indeed smart, how can you withstand this kind of provocation?"

"Khan, Grand Governor, every word of the prince is to kill the heart. The last general cannot be regarded as not hearing it!"

Zhao Ning's eyes were full of murderous aura, "Isn't it just to repel Tianyuan and Khitan armies? The last general can do it in Fengming Mountain, and it can also do it here!

"But if the last general successfully retreats to the enemy, how should Khan and the prince be responsible for their words and deeds today?"

Hearing this, the Dadan nobles in the tent suddenly breathed rapidly and shrillly. Some were excited and some were excited, some were secretly happy and some were happy, and some were very disdainful, thinking that Zhao Ning was talking nonsense.

Some people also think that Zhao Ning is really crazy, and it is simply foolish to say such things that cannot be achieved.

Zhao Xuan was extremely shocked and quickly scolded: "Ning'er, don't talk nonsense!"

His face was full of warning.

How could Dadan Khan let go of such a great opportunity? But he couldn't show it too clearly, so he looked at Zhao Ning with a distrust, "I'm afraid General Zhao's words are inappropriate?"

Prince Dadan seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and mocked: "General Zhao, it is better not to say what is impossible to do, so as not to make people laugh!"

"Shut up, I'm talking to Khan, there's no room for you to interrupt!" Zhao Ning looked cold and said, and scolded Prince Dadan in shock and anger.

But Zhao Ning ignored the prince's reaction and stared at Dadan Khan: "Does Khan dare to make bets with me?"

"If I cannot defeat Tianyuan and the Khitan army, I will not join the army in this life. But if I succeed, how should Khan thank me? How should I apologize for the prince's words and deeds?"

Zhao Xuanji immediately spoke out: "Ning'er, don't be able to act irritably!"

Zhao Ning had a firm attitude: "Don't worry, the general will have his own plans."

Dadan Khan smiled and said with a smile: "Grandmaster, General Zhao's young hero, maybe he can really retreat to the enemy. The left and right are not a letter of fame, so why don't we try it? The young man's spirit can help but not take it away!"

As he said that, he looked at Zhao Ning: "If General Zhao has a plan, he can defeat the Tianyuan and Khitan armies and protect our troops. I will naturally thank you very much, 500,000..."

He originally wanted to say 500,000 gold, but when he saw Zhao Xuanji turn his head and glaring at him, he quickly changed his words: "How about one million gold?"

Zhao Ning sneered, with a contempt on his face: "Dadan's troops are worth one million gold? The prince's head on his neck is more than this price! Khan is an insult to the last general?"

Dadan Khan was hesitant. He looked at Prince Dadan, but saw that the latter looked anxious and full of urgency. After thinking about it, he was about to speak when he heard Zhao Ning say impatiently: "Ten million gold!"

Dadan Khan's face changed and he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, this is not possible, too many..."

"The end of the day will guarantee that from now on and until the end of the war, the casualties of the Dadan soldiers will be less than 20,000!"

Zhao Ningyu is not shocking and never stops: "Isn't the tens of thousands of elite soldiers who will be guaranteed in the future worth millions of gold?"

Dadan Khan took a long breath, "This..."

"Within half a month, the last general will definitely repel Tianyuan and the Khitan army, otherwise the last general will be willing to pay one million gold." Zhao Ning continued to increase the bid, his expression was rampant, as if Tianyuan. In his eyes, the Khitan army was just a group of ants.

"Retreat the enemy within half a month?" Dadan Khan looked shocked and disbelief. Now he almost wanted to earn Zhao Ning's one million gold, and immediately gave a price: "Eight million gold!"

Zhao Ning pointed one hand at Prince Dadan, "Eight million gold, plus this guy knelt down and kowtow to me, and apologized to me in front of the people of the royal court."

"make a deal!"

"Create a contract and inform the royal court that no one wants to pay the debt."

"This...is good! It should be like that."

......

Soon, under the order of Dadan Khan, many herders in the royal court were gathered in front of the king's tent. In front of everyone, Dadan Khan announced his bet with Zhao Ning.

For a moment, thousands of herders were like a pot of boiling water, and the old man's comment started.

"General Zhao can actually defeat the Tianyuan and Khitan armies within half a month? How is this possible!"

"Isn't this a nonsense? Even if the Yanmen Army is the King of the Celestial Dynasty, wouldn't Fengmingshan suffer heavy losses in the battle?"

"I think this General Zhao is crazy!"

"What's crazy? It's just that I'm young and energetic, and I'm using it. I think Dahan just wants his million gold!"

"This time the Yanmen Army is going to suffer. Alas, the Qi people said it well. One general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops!"

"You can't speak like this. General Zhao is helping us fight after all..."

Dadan Khan looked at this scene without changing his expression, feeling a little happy. At this point, not to mention whether the war will be won, at least with the Yanmen Army standing in front, their room for maneuver will be much greater.

What's more, even if he loses, he is forced to flee to Daqi, and he still has a million gold entries, so he won't be too tight. No matter how he looks at it, he will not lose this gambling game, which is why he agreed to the gambling game.

It was a wealth of eight million gold, and the amount was indeed too large. He felt his heart twitching when he thought about it.

"General Zhao, I will rely more on it next." Dadan Khan bowed to Zhao Ning.

Zhao Ning snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left with the dark-faced Zhao Xuanji.

On the night when he returned to the Yanmen Military Camp, Batu came to visit. As soon as he entered the tent, he apologized to Zhao Ning for the words and deeds of Dadan Khan and Prince Dadan, and scolded the prince for being a son.

After sitting down, he asked with anticipation: "Is General Zhao really a plan to retreat to the enemy?"

Zhao Ning asked back without answering: "Does King Hunxie intend to give me some help?"

Batu was stunned and said hesitantly: "The Yanmen Army is here to help us. If General Zhao has any instructions, Xiao Wang will never refuse. However, Xiao Wang has limited status and may not be able to mobilize the army..."

After hearing what he said, Zhao Ning knew what he was going to come.

On the one hand, Batu wanted to fight with Zhao Ning and establish meritorious achievements in order to enhance his prestige and power in the Dadan Division - although he had been leading troops to fight before, he had been defeating the war;

But on the other hand, he was worried that Zhao Ning would not be able to retreat to the enemy, and making a bet in the king's tent was completely involuntary. Fighting with Zhao Ning would only add to the loss - if this was the case, he would rather choose to stay behind.

So Batu came to explore Zhao Ning's tone.

Seeing that Zhao Ning's expression was unwilling, Batu knew that too much would lead to mistakes, so he hurriedly said, "Can General Zhao tell me about your plan?"

Zhao Ning said lightly: "There is no plan."

"There is no plan? Why is there no plan? General Zhao wants to retreat to the enemy, how can he have no plan?" Batu was surprised and looked puzzled.

Zhao Ning said more to Batu without any intention, waved his hand, and used the excuse that he was tired and wanted to rest, so he let Batu leave.

Batu stood up in a complicated mood, and finally looked back at Zhao Ning unwillingly. He wanted to say something, but opened his mouth. Seeing that Zhao Ning didn't even look at him, he had to choose to give up.

From this day on, Dadan royal court opened his eyes wide, wanting to see how Zhao Ning completed his bet with Dadan Khan and what kind of military strategy would he take.

Although Prince Dadan said Zhao Ning was of bad character and worthless in the tent, no one knew that Zhao Ning, who almost dominated the victory of Fengming Mountain, was definitely a true Confucian general, with both wisdom and courage.

Many people, including Batu and Tana, hope to see Zhao Ning show their strengths and come up with their unexpected strategies to achieve their unexpected results to shake their minds.

From princes and nobles to common people, no one in the Dadan tribe did not want Zhao Ning to repel the Tianyuan and Khitan armies. This was related to the lives of each of them.

However, unexpected strategies did not exist, unexpected actions did exist.

After signing a bet with Dadan Khan, Zhao Ning stayed in the tent and practiced quietly for three consecutive days without leaving the gate. Not to mention not leading troops to fight, there was no even a convening of the generals of the two armies to lead the army.

This made the people in Dadan tribe confused.

On the fourth day, Zhao Ning was still practicing.

Many princes and nobles began to criticize.

On the fifth day, Zhao Ning was still practicing.

Now it was not only the princes and nobles, but also the common people began to discuss Zhao Ning and point fingers.

On the sixth day, Zhao Ning was still practicing.

At this time, everyone in the Dadan tribe suddenly realized that Zhao Ning had no plan to retreat to the enemy. His actions in the tent were all because of being angry with Prince Dadan!

As a result, Zhao Ning became a useless playboy who had no real talent and knowledge, was young and frivolous, emotional, and missed opportunities. Most people no longer criticized Zhao Ning, but began to mock him and even curse him secretly.

On the seventh day, Zhao Ning made a statement.

Then he did one, which made everyone in the Dadan tribe stunned and shocked.

......

Tianyuan Royal Court.

In the king's tent, the prince Meng Chi stood solemnly, bowing his head in the tent and listening to the reprimand of Tianyuan Khan.

He never went to see Dadan Khan because he didn't have the courage.

As the commander of the army's expedition, he failed to block the Yanmen Army from heading north, nor could he complete the goal of attacking and destroying the Dadan Army before the Yanmen Army heading north. This was his dereliction of duty.

Such failure has never happened since he began to lead the troops to fight.

Meng Chi blamed himself, was ashamed, and felt ashamed, and had no face to face Tianyuan Khan.

So he could only look at the carpet.

He made all preparations to welcome Tianyuan Khan's anger and roar, and even punishment. Whether it was whipping or military sticks, he accepted it.

But Tianyuan Khan did not expel his anger.

Meng Chi had been standing in the tent for half an hour, and Tianyuan Khan had not spoken a word.

Meng Chi was nervous, as if she was on her back.

He thought about a lot of things, including the follow-up of the war, the tribal plans, the dilemma of the royal court, his dereliction of duty, the huge problems brought to the tribe, etc.

The one who thinks the most is Zhao Ning.

The culprit who broke through Fengming Mountain's defense line was the initiator who made him experience a tragic failure.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt distressed.

As the prince, he has been pursuing success in his life, contributing to the strength of his tribe, and has always done well, but now he has failed in the most important and critical battle.

This made him feel that he had let down the prince's identity and looked down on him very much.

Just when he was about to hold on, Tianyuan Khan finally spoke: "It's over, what should I do next? Don't you need Ben Khan to teach you?"

Meng Chi opened her mouth, her voice extremely hard, "I will go to Yanping City in person."
