Next, Yan Fu and Dai Mubai naturally came forward to listen to Emperor Qianwen's eloquent talk.
"Two dear friends, you see, Duke Zhongguo chose to travel through Guzhou. From the map, it seems that he has taken a long detour, but in fact he has avoided all the trouble. You must know that if you take a shortcut, the first The first important place to pass through is Jinzhou. Since the Jin army once suffered losses from Duke Zhongguo in Xianweiju, it remains to be seen whether he will be allowed to pass safely. If the King of Jin vents his personal anger because of this, wouldn't it be a disaster in the future? If we reach the battle, we may return without success. I think Duke Zhongguo understands the reason behind this and chooses to go up from the northwest."
When he heard the word "Aiqing", Yan Fu felt like a spring breeze. When Emperor Qianwen's words stopped for a moment, he quickly responded, pretending to be surprised and asking as if he didn't understand anything, "Your Majesty, this can't be done. Does the King of Jin dare to risk the disapproval of the world and attack Duke Zhongguo? They are going to fight in the barbaric land. Doesn't this give others an excuse to treason?"
"Humph." After Emperor Qianwen heard this, his expression changed. Of course, this was not for Yan Fu, but for King Jin.
"You don't understand King Jin at all. He is a man who only has his own interests in mind. Before he became an emperor, his family, country and world were nothing in his eyes. For his own selfishness, he would do anything. Besides, if he wants to move Duke Zhongguo, there are many ways. For example, he can dress up the Jin army and turn them into bandits and break out halfway. If this happens, at most it will be detrimental to his rule, and he will have to apologize for the last one. The zhezi can be explained to all parties. Jinzhou and Shaanzhou are both the territory of the King of Jin. Duke Zhongguo wants to lead his army through here, but there are too many places where he can be ambushed."
"Ah! Prince Jin is really a coward." Yan Fu said with a cooperative expression of surprise, and then an angry look on his face, as if he hated Prince Jin to the core.
Yan Fu knew Emperor Qianwen well. As a eunuch around you, you only need to have the same mentality as your master. You will hate whoever your master hates, and you will like whoever your master likes. Only in this way can you be secure. He holds the position of chief eunuch.
Sure enough, Emperor Qianwen was very pleased with the resentment shown by Yan Fu, and his eyes towards Yan Fu became a little more amiable.
Dai Mubai naturally did not have Yan Fu's ability to observe words and emotions. When he heard this, although he agreed, he still had more questions. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, he took the opportunity to ask: "Since ancient times, The state can circumvent these troubles, but in this case, when can they reach the barbarian land? Also, Duke Zhongguo only has three thousand rangers and a militia of more than a thousand guardians around him. Even if they arrive in the barbarian land, , facing the brave and skilled barbarian soldiers, how can we defeat them?"
This problem was something that Emperor Qianwen couldn't figure out. He knew that Shen Ao had a thunder in his hand, but could he really defeat the barbarians with the thunder?
Most of the barbarian soldiers move on horseback and move very fast. If Tianlei wants to threaten them, it will be much more difficult. And if Tianlei cannot work, what other way can we deal with the barbarians?
Emperor Qianwen couldn't figure it out, or he often couldn't understand Shen Ao's behavior. Only when he got the result, he would suddenly realize it and be surprised. Just like this time he chose a road to enter from Guzhou. Generally speaking, it was beyond his expectation.
Could it be that Shen Ao had sent people to find a secret passage a long time ago?
This idea was just a fleeting thought in Emperor Qianwen's mind. Shen Aocong was forced to form his own army under pressure, and it only took more than ten days. In such a short period of time, there was no time to send people to survey the road. Woolen cloth?
Emperor Qianwen's thoughts suddenly went into misunderstanding. He only thought about the more than ten days, but he didn't expect that it would take more than a month for the certificate of credence of the barbarian marriage to be sent to Daliang City. What would happen to Shen Ao? Couldn't we have sent manpower early to choose a possible way forward?
If we add this more than a month, it will take fifty days, which is enough to get everything done.
Emperor Qianwen didn't think about it, but he just didn't expect that Shen Ao would be so prepared for a rainy day, or that he was so unfavorable to him as the emperor. He knew that he could not withstand the pressure and made early preparations. Besides, Shen Ao's performance has always been All he came out of was talent, learning and businessmanship, and he had no military performance, so it was hard for anyone to look up to him in this regard.
Emperor Qianwen didn't answer Dai Mubai's question because he didn't know how to answer it. "Well, no matter what, at least we know the possible route of Duke Zhongguo. In this way, Emperor Wei sent more people to enter the land of Guzhou. Search, we must find the place where the loyal people's army is located, I want to know their every move, I can't make any mistakes this time."
"No." Dai Mubai hurriedly agreed. He knew that his previous mistakes had been revealed, but he had to perform well next, otherwise the old and new accounts would be settled together, and he, the Emperor's Chief of Guards, would have a terrible life. It won't be easy.
...
Mandu.
The barbarian king Er Gu was beaten in the palace, and the second prince and princess rushed to Daqian Xinzhou.
Before his son left, he came to him specifically to ask for a decree. Erguda knew that he wanted to take revenge and deal with Duke Zhongguo. Fathers have the habit of protecting their children. If someone bullies his son, he can take revenge and go back if he has the opportunity. Of course, the Barbarian King had no reason not to agree.
However, when Young Master Oyadan left, he only left a letter, and then he left the capital. This made the Barbarian King a little unhappy. A Duke of Daqian, a seventeen-year-old boy, actually attracted his children. My daughter was all confused and confused.
Thinking that Oyadan had always been calm and composed in times of trouble, but now he was so upset with him for the sake of a man, the Barbarian King became very unhappy.
The Barbarian King's thoughts were a little complicated. He felt that his daughter was about to leave and his heart was not with him as a father. From time to time, he became irritable and uneasy, so that in the end all his anger was spilled on Shen Ao. "Pass the order, send more people, Find the place where the Duke of Daqian’s team is and look for opportunities to destroy them. Well, don’t kill the Duke of Daqian, you must capture him alive.”
Teng Ziju's letter has already stated that the Duke of Daqian has some abilities. It would be a great blessing if he could be used by the barbarians. Based on this, the barbarian king would not kill Shen Ao easily, and of course he would not He will completely believe in him. He wants to test and see if this person is not worthy of his name. If he is really capable and willing to stay in the barbarian land as his son-in-law, he would not mind giving him a certain amount of trust and power and would consider recruiting him. He is his own son-in-law.
Of course, if Shen Ao is just showing off, he will definitely be killed. He can allow his daughter to marry, after all, it will be like this when he grows up. But he hopes that his daughter can marry a barbarian, which is very important to the purity of their blood. , it is still necessary to cultivate more outstanding future generations of talents.
The order of the Man King was issued, and some spies and scouts left the Man capital and headed east, but they had no idea that Shen Ao would not come from the direction of Xinzhou. At this time, he had already passed through Guzhou and went straight to Suzhou. Rushing to the north of the barbarian land to pull Khanna away,
Not only the Barbarian King, but also the Jin King also sent additional personnel to search for Shen Ao's whereabouts.
When he was in Daliang City, he could have escaped unscathed, and he could also keep the prince safe and let his nephew continue to stay in Daliang City to take care of him.
Just when Emperor Qianwen was shaken in his thoughts and might issue an order to let him leave at any time, Shen Ao came out of Hanshan Temple like a tiger descending from the mountain. His appearance confused the situation and even killed him with his own hands. He captured the Qianhu Chulin under his banner and destroyed the prestige of their Jin army, so that the situation suddenly changed. In the end, he had to return without success. Not only did he plead guilty, but he also lost the life of his nephew.
For this reason, King Jin had long hated Shen Ao to the core. He only hated that he was in Daliang City, huddled here, and there was nothing he could do.
It's okay now. Shen Ao actually wants to send troops to the barbarian land by himself, and he has to pass through his own fiefdom. So there is no need to be polite. If he can't be dealt with properly, won't it make people look down on him as King Jin? Strength.
So when news came from Daliang City that Shen Ao might lead troops to the barbarian land, he sent out a lot of men to keep a close eye on it. However, as time passed, Shen Ao had already left Daliang City twenty years ago. It was already daytime, but there was still not a single figure in sight, and Prince Jin's mood became impetuous.
"If we send more people, there are more than 4,000 people, and fifty carts can really go up to the sky and disappear. If you look for them, you must find them for me." A roaring voice shouted from the mouth of King Jin, and the officials below They hurriedly nodded in agreement, and more and more manpower was sent out. But when the starting point is wrong, no matter how hard you try, you are bound to not get a correct result.
Shen Ao had long thought that his relationship with King Jin would not be harmonious. Therefore, he had never thought of leaving King Jin's fiefdom. Naturally, he could not find it here. And he himself had already led his team to the barbarian land. Bakhna in the north.
Money can help you!
It depends on how you use it.
Money was fully utilized in Shen Ao's hands. Using taels of silver to stimulate the marching speed proved to be extremely effective. When the real gold and silver were really in hand, the rangers' speed was indeed faster and faster. From the beginning A hundred miles a day, a hundred miles a day, a hundred miles a day, a hundred miles a day, and finally a hundred miles a day.
Naturally, these rangers also benefited from four taels of silver every day. Carrying those white silver coins on their bodies gave people a sense of stability and gave them a lot of motivation. Some people even thought that this It is best if the road never ends, so that they can earn a lot more money.
