According to Shen Ao's wishes, anyone who disobeys will be killed. There is no need to be soft-hearted or excessively polite. Some people are like this. The more polite you are to him, the more he will push for more and become arrogant. Faced with this People, you have to show a more ruthless side than him. It is best to treat life as child's play. In this way, more than half of the problem will be solved.
Xuefei will definitely carry out Shen Ao's orders. But no matter how optimistic she is about this plan, it is not always the case. After all, high martial arts skills do not mean victory. When the two armies fight, countless enemies will appear in front of and behind them. , a careless move may result in injury or death.
Or they died of exhaustion on the battlefield due to exhaustion. Some masters died in the chaos. Such things have not never happened.
It's just that Shen Ao has already made a decision. If she doesn't support it, why should she wait for others to take the lead? This is what happened just now.
During the killing process, Xue Fei was also worried, especially when one barbarian general died in her hands one after another. She was really worried that all barbarian generals were so spineless. If all barbarian centurions were They all chose not to surrender. After killing these centurions, wouldn't they have to face two thousand crazy barbarians?
What if those two thousand barbarians are aroused and want to take revenge? Even though Shen Ao has deployed troops around him, a fierce battle is unavoidable. If we suffer heavy losses in this first battle, what will happen next? Wouldn't it be child's play to come down and try to beat up the barbarians and cause them more trouble?
So even though the killing process seemed very pleasant and the method was very neat, Xuefei was still beating the drum in her heart. Fortunately, in the end someone couldn't stand the strong psychological pressure and chose to surrender, which made Xuefei breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time I also admire Shen Ao even more in my heart.
If Xue Fei was just influenced by Aunt Xue and knew that she would be the young master's woman before, and chose to accept her fate and obey, then now she has a little more admiration for Shen Ao in her heart.
A girl's admiration can easily turn into admiration and eventually fall in love willingly. Countless descendants have proven this with facts.
"Discard all their weapons, and divide them into groups of two hundred people and imprison them separately." Shen Ao came from the rear of the team and shouted loudly to the two guards beside him, Shi Lei and Feng Xun.
"No." With excitement in their eyes, Shi Lei and the other two agreed, and then they quickly went forward with their men to break up the barbarian soldiers and surround them to prevent any accidents from happening.
While others were doing things, Shen Ao walked up to Xue Fei, stretched out his arm and took the other's delicate hand, "Thank you for your hard work. Come, I will personally remove your makeup and let you return to your original beautiful side."
"Okay." Xue Fei, with a bright red face, agreed, then followed Shen Ao towards the back of the team.
Facing the two people walking hand in hand, everyone involuntarily gave way to a path. At this point, everyone respects Shen Ao, not because of his status as the loyal Duke of Daqian, but because of all the facts in front of him. They respected and admired Shen Ao from the bottom of their hearts.
Shen Ao is like a needle that calms the sea, allowing everyone to find the backbone. He gives everyone a feeling that he has no plan left, and gives everyone a feeling that he is invincible.
...
Xinzhou General's Mansion.
Fei Qingsong, commander of the 30,000 troops and also the commander-in-chief of Xinzhou, was listening to the report from his subordinates.
"General, we have sent out a lot of scouts and manpower, but there is still no news about the loyal Lord Ding Ding. Do you think he didn't come at all, but because he was afraid and didn't know where he went, or he went on a mountain tour? Where’s the water?”
The scout general who was responsible for reporting the situation expressed his thoughts and kept looking at Fei Qingsong, as if he wanted to see if the general had other opinions.
Fei Qingsong frowned and did not express his opinion easily, but in his heart he agreed with the scout general's statement.
After not being in the imperial city for a long time, he was not very clear about Shen Ao's rise. Only some information told him that this young Duke Zhongguo, who was only seventeen years old, was very good at doing business, and he was full of knowledge at such a young age. The poems he wrote are many contemporary poems that everyone would be ashamed of.
But so what?
On the battlefield, the competition is about fierceness and bravery. The competition is about the distribution of troops and detailed plans. The competition is about whose logistics is better and the preparations are more sufficient. It is not a competition about whose poetry is better. If this is really the case. If so, the world would have been at peace long ago, so why would these wars happen?
Not only that, the political structure of the Qian Dynasty was destined that military men and civil servants could not get together. Emperor Qianwen knew this intentionally, because he was afraid that the people below him would be too unified, which would be a problem for him to hold power. A provocation.
Emperor Qianwen deliberately created some artificial conflicts, which also aggravated the situation of duality between civil and military forces. Shen Ao was outstanding in talent and learning, and seemed to be a member of the civil servants. No wonder Fei Qingsong looked down on him in his heart.
Speaking of which, this is what makes Shen Ao most depressed.
He is excellent in both talent and learning, and is regarded as a civil servant. But he is also a person with a title, and is regarded as a military commander by civil servants. In the opinion of many civil servants, Shen Ao will probably lead troops to fight after he reaches the age of twenty. Then What is he but a military commander?
Isn't this the feeling of being uncivilized and not accepted by any party, what Shen Ao wants?
Besides, Fei Qingsong did not respond to the general scout's question, but waved his hand to let him exit the hall. After there were no other people around, Fei Qingsong took out a pen and wrote a note to the court. The main idea was the same as what the general scout said, that is Duke Zhongguo was not seen at all in Xinzhou, so did he go the wrong way, or did he really go sightseeing?
Speaking of which, Fei Qingsong and Shen Ao had no grudges. Otherwise, he might have directly doubted in the memorial whether the loyal Duke was a greedy person who was afraid of death.
After the memorial was written, it was immediately sent to the imperial city. The urgent letter of 600 miles can reach Daliang City in only two or three days. It must have caused some controversy and heated discussions. But these are not Fei Qingsong's There are issues that need to be considered. What he has to do now is to defend against the barbarian attack. In these days, scouts have found out that, in addition to the barbarian prince Obik and the barbarian general Shajie, the second barbarian prince Origi and the princess Oyadan also came to Congling area.
This feeling of a large army approaching the border put a lot of pressure on Fei Qingsong, making him cautious and walking on thin ice. He even began to consider borrowing troops from surrounding states. If the barbarians really invaded the border with a large number of troops, Xinzhou These 30,000 soldiers and horses cannot resist it. And once Xinzhou is really lost, he will die without redemption.
...
Inside a barbarian military camp fifty miles outside Congling.
The eldest prince Obi Xian, the second prince Origi, and the princess Oyadan were looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes. General Shajie who was standing aside had to act like a mute and did not dare to say a word for a long time. talk.
General Shajie was also puzzled. It was clear that the Barbarian King had given instructions before he came, and this time he wanted to put pressure on Daqian and make them bow their heads, thereby agreeing to the request for marriage, and by the way, they could also extort some good things from Daqian. .
But now that the second prince and princess are here, what does this mean? Do you want to change the previous decision? Now instead of putting pressure on Da Gan, you really want to force the army to force the border and occupy the entire Xinzhou?
Speaking of Xinzhou, although the territory is not small, the products are not very rich and the population is not large. In many cases, it even needs relief from Daliang City to maintain daily needs.
So what if such a place was given to the barbarians? What could they get from it after spending so much effort?
Unless you want to use Xinzhou as a springboard to prepare for a better entry into Daqian next time, otherwise, occupying this place has no practical significance. On the contrary, it can only make Daqian more vigilant, and they may even send troops to recapture Xinzhou. In this state, when it becomes a war of distance and attrition, it will do no good to either family.
As for whether they want to use this as a springboard to win the entire Daqian, Shajie is not optimistic.
The barbarians cannot occupy the entire Daqian land due to population restrictions alone. This is simply a matter of trying to swallow an elephant. They have a great appetite and do not have such good digestion ability. If they do not do it well, they will only burst their stomachs. Already.
With these thoughts in front of him, Shajie could not understand the situation in front of him. Originally, there was a big prince here, and he, the general, had to think too much about what decision to make. Now there is another prince and princess, If he wants to issue any order, he must obtain the permission of the three people. Isn't this self-restraint?
Sha Jie couldn't understand. But the two princes and a princess present knew very well that what they were doing was only one person, and that was Shen Ao, the loyal Duke of Daqian.
Many barbarians don't know Shen Ao's name. They only know some high-level figures. But the real situation about Shen Ao is only known to the top few people. This Zhongguo Gong is different from some other Daqian emperors. He is a Duke and Marquis. He is a very capable person, especially when it comes to economic development. He is also a leader with many talents. He is also recognized as a good hand.
Since he can make Daqian richer, can he also make Barbarian Land equally rich?
In view of this, the Man King proposed a marriage alliance with Da Qian in the official name of the credential, hoping to get Shen Ao to the Barbarian land.
A great talent like this naturally wants to benefit the people when he comes to Barbarian Land. Even if he is willing to help anyone, that person may become stronger. Think about it, with a strong economic foundation, there is no shortage of people. If you are short of money and food, can you conquer whoever you want in the future?
Naturally, everyone wants to win over such a great talent. But the question arises again. Once Shen Ao arrives, who will he support? Who will he listen to? Or who will he help?
