"Thick on the outside and thin on the inside." Zhang Yuewan said in her heart.
Xue Sha continued: "To be frank, I don't want to go to war with Kipchak Khan, not because I'm afraid of him, but because I feel it's not necessary. This matter is not Kipchak's fault, it can only be regarded as an accident. Moreover, Daisy that day
When I was in charge of Anxi Road, I tried my best to protect nearly one million people in our country. We cannot forget this kindness."
Luo Xiang interjected: "The Blood Commander is very conflicted now? He doesn't want to fight with Kipchak Khan, but he can't let go of the tens of thousands of soldiers who died on the battlefield?"
"Who can let go? Those are my old subordinates who have followed me in all the wars for so many years. If we just let them go so easily, how can I see them in the future?" Xue Sha sighed.
Luo Xiang nodded: "This is indeed a problem. Everyone, I think everyone's thoughts are almost the same as those of the bloody commander. The Kipchak Khan generation of heroes is not only broad-minded but also upright. For such a man, we in Hetao have been fighting in the world for many years, and we can only fight for it.
The general can barely compare with him. Moreover, this matter really has nothing to do with Kipchak Khan. If we forcefully put this shit basin on his head, you will have uneasy conscience."
After a pause, Luo Xiang said: "A meal of kindness must be repaid, and a grudge must be repaid. We in Hetao have always been clear about grudges and right from wrong. We must not lose our eyes due to hatred in this matter. Lord."
"Sir, it's okay to say so." Haotian said.
"In my opinion, as long as the Kipchak Khan hands over the remnants of the Syr Darya River and other members of the army that attacked our Hetao army that day, as well as other members of their tribe, this matter will be written off."
Daisy's eyebrows jumped. Such a result is already a rare concession for Hetao. After all, Hetao has always pursued the principle of either doing nothing or doing nothing. Now that Rouran is being dealt with separately, it is obvious that a huge effort has been made.
of concessions.
However, Sir Jiangliu is his uncle after all. This must be a great shame for Kipchak Khan. As a tribal leader, he cannot guarantee the safety of his own people and needs to hand him over to maintain the survival of his people.
, Kipchak Khan was arrogant by nature and would never accept it.
Turning his head and looking at Fengjing, Fengjing took her hand and squeezed it gently, saying in a deep voice: "My lord, is this what you mean?"
Haotian nodded slowly, which was a silent answer.
There was silence in the hall, and the four little guys remained silent.
After a long time, Xinke opened his mouth and said: "This is indeed the best solution. If we can't even do this, we can't explain it to the soldiers."
Feng Jing's eyes slowly swept over Xin Ke and the others. Dugu and Xuanji nodded slowly, but Fu Ruoshui sat aside noncommittally and did not express any opinions.
Haotian sighed and said to Fengjing: "Fengjing, we grew up together, and I don't want to embarrass you. However, this is indeed the only way to solve the problem. We must give the fallen soldiers a
Explain. To be honest, Rouran is really not in our eyes now. Although Kipchak Khan still has 300,000 soldiers under his command, these are already his last possessions. Winter will come soon. If we are at this time
Even if Kipchak Khan can block our offensive by sending troops northward, he will not be able to escape the cold winter."
Feng Jing smiled, and a relaxed look appeared on his face: "My lord, you misunderstood. I also think this is the best."
Desire's face suddenly turned pale. Fengjing stood up and said in a deep voice: "My lord, everyone, Desire still has some unresolved knots in her heart. I will take her down to rest first."
No one objected. Fengjing took Daisy'er and was about to return to his bedroom. Haotian suddenly said from behind: "Fengjing, you don't have to worry about Daisy'er. No one in our Hetao would dare to borrow this."
Spread rumors about this matter and cause trouble."
Feng Jing took Desire back to his bedroom. Seeing that Desire was still frowning, Feng Jing gently held her little hand and said helplessly: "Desire, don't blame the master."
Daisy'er Zhen leaned her head lightly on Feng Jing's shoulder and whispered: "Qin Feng, I don't blame the lord, nor do I blame the Blood Commander and the others. If my uncle hadn't suddenly led his army to attack in a sneak attack that day, there wouldn't have been so many soldiers in vain.
Die in battle. I also know that the lord has made a lot of concessions. However, they are my tribe after all. And if my uncle had not kindly taken us in, my eldest brother and I would have died in the rebellion."
Feng Jing hugged his wife tightly. Desire had a simple heart and would tell him anything. Therefore, Feng Jing was also very clear about her past. However, the flow of the Syr River should not be done at all.
They actually colluded with Sashan and other tribes to sneak attack the Hetao army. If not, it would not be difficult for Rouran and Shenzhou to live in peace.
"Daisy'er, I want you to go to Benma Beach in person." Feng Jing said in a deep voice.
Desire's eyes were red, but looking at Feng Jing's resolute expression, she finally nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, this matter makes it easier for me to talk about it. But when I think about it, I am going here to force myself to die.
My own uncle, I will..."
"This is the only way to solve the problem. Desire, don't think that Rouran can compete with our Hetao army. You have stayed in the Hetao for so many years, and you should understand how powerful we are. If Rouran continues to resist, the only outcome will be
Just like Tie Ying Qiu Ming, Rou Ran must sacrifice something for your people." Feng Jing said flatly.
Daisy'er shed tears and just put her little head into Feng Jing's arms: "I know, I know. Qin Feng, I want to take brothers Fengyang and Fengyin with me."
Feng Jing thought about it for a moment and realized that Kipchak Khan was a tough man. Although they only met once, Feng Jing had great trust in him. But it was not peaceful along the way: "In this case, I will let Ge Zhen escort you north. You guys
We must also be careful along the way. Although the main force of Sa Shan was defeated by us, there are still many skirmishers scattered around. Brother Zhen is my old subordinate, and the combat effectiveness of his 10,000 cavalry is quite reliable, and is not inferior to your Rouran cavalry."
When Feng Jing returned to the living room, it was already evening. Xin Jiao was busy in the kitchen, Qiu Mu and the three girls were playing with Fu Ruoshui, and Dugu and other military generals were bragging and chatting. Hao Jin was honest.
Shi Shi sat next to Ying Ji'er, looking indescribably honest. Although Feng Jing was in a dull mood, he still couldn't help laughing when he saw Hao Jin's rare honest look.
"You see, this little guy Hao Jin is indeed of the same blood as my lord. Even his henpecked temperament is the same." Feng Jing pointed at Hao Jin and said with a smile.
Haotian's face suddenly darkened: "Fengjing, who said I'm henpecked?" Haotian is also a person who cares about face. In public, he has to be tough no matter what.
However, Dugu and others obviously did not give him face, including Luo Xiang, who burst into laughter. Haotian's face was distorted, and his memory could not help but go back to three years ago.
At that time, I had just returned to Hetao from the south of the river. Since I hadn’t seen God’s will for a long time, Haotian was stuck with God’s will all day long. One day, it seemed to be the same scene. At that time, many senior officials in Hetao didn’t know how to talk about henpecking.
topic.
Haotian drank too much at that time and said with a loud tongue: "Henpecked? Only you losers are like this. Let me tell you, they never dare not listen to what I, Haotian, say! I let them
If they go east, they don’t dare to go west. If I tell them to get out, they don’t dare to climb!”
At that time, in the courtyard of Prince Jingbei's Mansion, not only Luo Xiangchu, Xiangcheng and others were there, but Yancai and others were also busy. Haotian Haoqianyun's words immediately stunned everyone.
At this time, God's will came over.
"Mother, what did you say?" Bian Zhongxing asked with a blushing face.
"I asked him to brag, but he wouldn't dare not brag!" Tianyi said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, the people in the whole yard were no longer laughing, but shouting almost crazy. Haotian was so ashamed that he quickly excused himself to go to the toilet and ran away, and then did not show up for two hours. Later, this sentence
It became the first greeting that everyone greeted Haotian when they saw him, and Haotian was so angry that he was filled with smoke.
Xue Sha said with a smile: "What's wrong with being henpecked? It depends on your moral character."
Hao'an ran to Haotian, raised his head and asked, "Dad, what does henpecking mean?"
"Little brat, get out of the way." Haotian said with a sullen face.
Dugu smoothly grabbed Hao'an and put it on his lap, and said to Feng Jing: "I'm surprised, didn't Feng Jing just take Daisy back to her room? Why did it take two whole hours? Oh.
, a reunion after a long separation is better than a wedding. But Feng Shuai, you have to take it easy. After riding a rouge horse for so long, can you still mount your precious war horse and ride through the snow and frost?"
"Dugu Yuming, you old scoundrel!" I heard a squeak, and a plate was thrown towards Dugu like lightning. However, Daisy'er had just come up and happened to hear this. She was furious and threw the plate away.
past.
"If this old gangster cuts off his tongue, at least most of our Hetao army will be less evil." Luo Xiang said helplessly.
The next day, Haotian finally met with Sashan's queen, Santa Fea, the former eldest princess of the Obsburg Empire, in the reception room of the Qingyun.
This is an extremely beautiful woman. Although she is over forty years old, time has not left any traces on her face. Even though she has been reduced to a prisoner, she still maintains a good demeanor and temperament. She was born in a royal family.
A woman from a well-known family, at least her temperament is indeed admirable. Of course, if it weren't for the overwhelming hatred in her eyes, Haotian wouldn't mind giving her appearance a few more points.
"Princess Santa Fea?"
"Exactly, I wonder what Emperor Haotian has to say? If you are planning to kill people and exterminate the roots, then you can do it now." Sheng Feia said proudly with her neck held high.
"What a fierce woman!" However, Haotian also knew in his heart that the hatred between the two parties could not be resolved at all. After the Hetao army entered the city of Babylon, they killed all her children who stayed in the city. When Haotian saw
When she was the boss of the executioners, she didn't rush to fight Haotian, and her self-cultivation was already very good.
But what surprised Haotian even more was that she actually spoke the Chinese language fluently.
"It's not necessary to kill people to silence them. As for eradicating the roots, that's necessary." Haotian said slowly: "But for Princess Santa Fea, we don't want to kill you. Don't worry, we will have someone escort you back to Austria after a while.
Busburg.”
Santa Fea sneered coldly: "So you are afraid of our Obsburg Empire."
"Afraid?" Haotian responded with the same sneer: "We can kill a Sashan, so we are not afraid of the equally powerful Obsburg. But there is no enmity between China and Obsburg, so there is no need to fight against each other.
.”
"It didn't happen before, but it does now."
Haotian looked at this woman coldly, and suddenly regretted it. Luo Xiang's original intention was to send her back to Obsburg to prove that the Hetao was not hostile to Obsburg. But now it seems that this is a
Wrong. If she is allowed to go back, she will definitely try her best to persuade the Obsburg Empire to send troops to avenge Sashan.
But after thinking about it, Haotian felt that Nicholas II should not be such an irrational person. If he went to war with the Hetao just for a daughter, it would be impossible for Obsburg to reach this point.
"No matter what you think, at least we won't kill you now." Haotian saw Luo Xiang nodding slightly to him, and then said: "But you must leave immediately. Sir, return her maid and bodyguard to her.
Thuringia, this is the territory of Obsburg."
Luo Xiang nodded. Santa Fea did not answer, but looked at Haotian fiercely, then turned and left resolutely. Haotian suddenly had an illusion, could the Loop really go to war with Obsburg because of this woman?
The army entered the city of Babylon. In addition to the two cavalry regiments of Tiger, Ben and Falcon, who were careful to guard against the sneak attack of Sashan's remnant army in Thebes, the Hetao soldiers were divided into groups and annihilated other lands in the northwest region of Sashan one by one. The Hetao army was destroying the country.
He was already very experienced in massacring the city, and the generals under his command all performed their own roles. In just half a month, most of Sashan's land became deserted, and a large amount of property and food were continuously transported to the city of Babylon.
Countless Sashan people were forcibly driven here, and the Bone Palace outside Babylon was constantly being raised.
"This is already the ninth Bone Palace built by the army." Qiu Mu said in a low voice as he looked at the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion who were still beheading and stacking their bodies on the city wall.
Zhang Yuewan appeared behind her like a ghost and whispered: "Are you still planning to plead with Xin Shuai? Let me tell you first, Xin Shuai is in a bad mood these days, so it's best not to provoke him."
Xin Ke's eyes have been bright red since he set foot on the land of Sa Shan. In order to find Han Mei's head, Xin Ke killed tens of thousands of people. In the battle of Dingzhou that day, Ti Pu was stabbed by Han Mei and was seriously injured.
The cavalry under his command suffered heavy casualties. In order to vent his anger, Tipu cut off Han Mei's unrecognizable head, sealed it with lime and sent it back to Sashan. However, Tipu's entire army was quickly wiped out in Huanhai Qingtian, and Achilles was obviously
I didn't take this thing seriously, so I found a place and threw it away, and then I forgot about it.
When Xinke entered the city of Babylon, the first thing he did was to look for Han Mei's head. After cutting off the heads of countless people, Xinke finally found the head from Achilles's trophy warehouse.
I don’t know what secret method was used, but two whole years have passed, and the head has not rotted away. Looking at his wife’s head, whose original appearance could not be distinguished for a long time, Xin was furious and personally led the 50,000 soldiers of the Blue Dragon Army to attack the city of Babylon.
Millions of people were killed.
Qiu Mu sighed: "Forget it, Commander Xin is angry. Except for the resurrection of the eldest sister, even the lord can't stop drinking him. I don't want to find trouble for these damn Sashan people." Battle of Dingzhou.
The imprint on Hetao is so deep that no one in the Hetao area would be without gritted teeth when mentioning Sashan. Qiu Mu is no exception.
Zhang Yuewan also had the same expression. She sympathized with these Sashan people, but she would never plead for them. Han Mei was her mentor, and the two of them had the same love as mother and daughter. Thinking of Ruoyu Hanmei, who was both a teacher and mother, made Sa
Shan was killed so cruelly that Zhang Yuewan herself wanted to pick up a knife and kill Sa Shan from top to bottom.
"This is already the ninth one, I hope there won't be a tenth one." Qiu Mu said softly.
Zhang Yuewan thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. Except for Rouran, we have killed all our enemies, and hasn't your husband decided to resolve Rouran's matter through negotiation?" Even so, a hint of worry appeared on Zhang Yuewan's face.
Because just now, Li Xiaomo received news from the Qinchuan Li family's 800-mile horse that Li Tieming was critically ill, and he hoped that Li Xiaomo could go back immediately.
Li Xiaomo was a well-known filial son, and he was ready to leave home immediately. However, the expressions of Haotian Luo Xiang and others were quite strange. They actually used the excuse that the general's military orders were not accepted abroad, and hoped that Li Xiaomo would
Military and state affairs were of top priority, and I would not go home until Sashan was completely pacified.
Zhang Yuewan is very concerned about the authenticity of this news. If it is true, it should be a good thing for China. With Li Tieming's death, a core figure has been lost. If the three major aristocratic families, Gu Changfeng and others want to play tricks, it will be even more difficult.
It is even more difficult. But if the news is false and Li Tieming is still alive and kicking, then the situation will be really dangerous.
However, why do Haotian, Luo Xiang and others strongly oppose Li Xiaomo's return? Sashan is already a toothless tiger, or a sick cat is more appropriate. With less than 200,000 troops, if he wants to stop him
A military front in Hetao is completely impossible. Could it be that Haotian deliberately prevented Li Xiaomo from going back? In that case, the conspiracy of Li Tieming and others may have been part of Hetao's calculations.
Standing on the city tower, Qiu Mu and Zhang Yuewan were speechless for a moment. They were silently thinking about their own thoughts until they were interrupted by several fast horses.
"He's a spy who's out. Would you like to go down and have a look?" Qiu Mu said.
Zhang Yuewan nodded silently, and walked down the tower side by side with Qiu Mu. Anyway, it was idle.
