"Okay, we are soldiers. We are only responsible for fighting wars and executing military orders. Other things have nothing to do with us. Immediately send the battle report here to the young master for your knowledge. We also need to prepare to gnaw on the hard bones of the barbarians. By the way.
, are the fourth princess and the third barbarian prince okay?"
"Fortunately, our people have been protecting them well, but they don't seem to be in good spirits." Lou Ming said helplessly.
In a temporary residence not far away, Erhema's little face was as white as snow, hiding in the arms of his sister Eryadan and not daring to raise his head to see anyone. The heavy cavalrymen of the Shanshan Guard who he thought were amiable in the past were now in his presence.
His eyes also became scary.
The Luolu tribe was exterminated, and the Bahan tribe was also exterminated. Each of these things happened under the noses of the two siblings. Who wouldn't be afraid?
Does that mean that the Western Barbarians will also be exterminated next?
Oyadan was also a little scared at this moment. After all, the Western Barbarians were her hometown. And as a foreign woman, she was not like a woman from the Central Plains who regarded her husband as a queen and ignored everything else. Her feelings for the Western Barbarians were still there.
Very deep.
Naturally, I don't want to see my hometown suffer. But...
But will Tang Ao really support his younger brother?
What is Tang Ao's ability? What is the strength of the Jizhou Army? No one knows it better than Oyadan, who has been living in Jicheng.
Such a powerful Jizhou army, plus what Tang Ao said is not our race, must have different intentions. Then will Tang Ao allow a powerful barbarian to appear?
Emotions may be very important to an ordinary man, but they don't have much weight to a famous master. She is not Tang Ao's only woman, and her influence is really limited.
Oyadan never thought too highly of herself, and she didn't think that Tang Ao would be so accommodating as to the issue of dealing with the barbarians and put state affairs aside.
"Maybe... maybe the fate of the barbarians has been decided, and all I can do is protect the safety of my family. Besides... besides, the life of the barbarians will definitely get better and better after following the king." He murmured to himself,
After speaking out like this to comfort himself, Oyadan seemed to have made some decision and called the head guard Tumasha and asked her to take care of his younger brother. Then he and some female guards rode towards Feng Xun.
Go to the mansion where you are.
Oyadan's sudden visit made both Feng Xun and Lou Ming look stunned. They didn't know what she was doing here at this time.
But after all, she was the fourth princess. Although the ceremony had not been held for some reasons, their relationship was already a fact recognized by everyone. The two people hurriedly left the house to greet her.
"See the Fourth Princess." Feng Xun and Lou Ming both said respectfully.
"There is no need to be polite. I have something important to tell you. Please find a quiet place." Oyadan said very cheerfully after dismounting.
"Okay, Fourth Princess, please go to the study room." Feng Xun agreed and led the way.
Soon, the three of them entered the study. After there was no one else around, Oyadan suddenly saluted Feng Xun and Feng Xun, but they were startled, and they hurriedly said, "I can't help it."
"Brigadier Feng, Chief of Staff Lou, I have one thing to ask of you. Please protect the safety of my brother no matter what. If it is possible to save my father, also protect his safety. As for the rest, we can
I don’t want anything else. Please inform the king of this matter.”
Oyadan is a smart woman, and she is also the woman of a barbarian king. She has been used to seeing the fight between the two king brothers since she was a child, which makes her very aware of how cruel the real political struggle is.
For the sake of status and power, there have been countless times in history where brothers killed each other, and even father and son killed each other. But she was just a woman, and all she wanted was the safety of her family.
The words that came out of the blue were somewhat incomprehensible. Others might not be able to hear clearly what was going on. But in the ears of Feng Xun and Lou Ming, they understood it very well.
Before coming, Tang Ao had talked to the two of them, and even assigned a very secret mission, which was to find an opportunity to depose Ehema, the possible future heir to the Western Barbarians.
It's not killing, but cripples, that is, Tang Ao is taking care of Oyadan's emotions. As long as Ohema, the future heir of the Western Barbarians, is physically disabled, for example, becomes a lame, then such an identity can still be
Can you be a king? Can you still be convinced by everyone?
Once the new king of the Western Barbarians has nothing to do with Oyadan, Tang Ao can let go and do his own thing. Although it sounds a bit cruel, it is also a helpless move. Tang Ao has to think about future generations. He can live
You can suppress the Western Barbarians, but what if one day he is gone?
I'm afraid that if a war breaks out at that time, I don't know how many people's lives will be affected. Even so, it is better to use a leg now to exchange for peace for many years to come. No matter how you look at it, it is worth it.
After accepting this task, Feng Xun and Lou Ming felt bitter, but they still agreed. Once this was exposed, they would naturally offend the fourth princess to death, but for the sake of future generations and for the sake of future generations,
In the hope of peace, they still decided to obey this order.
It's fine now. Before Oyadan took action, he sensed something and took the initiative to come to the door and asked the two of them what to say.
Do you understand? Doesn’t that mean they do have such thoughts?
Are you pretending not to understand? That is offending the Fourth Princess to death. Besides, without the support of the Fourth Princess, it is simply impossible for them to take over the entire Western Barbarian Land by themselves.
things.
Oyadan's sudden appearance and sudden words made neither of them know what to answer. Fortunately, Oyadan had no intention of asking the two to answer, and continued: "Three King Brother
Erhema is still young and has been frightened by what he has experienced. He will not have the courage to become an enemy of the Jizhou Army in the future. I have thought about it and let him stay in Jicheng in the future. The conditions and environment there are good.
, he will not return to the barbarian land in the future, this is my guarantee, please also write these and send them to the king for your knowledge."
As soon as they finished speaking, Feng Xun and Lou Ming knew that others already knew what they had planned. Or that Tang Ao's plan was known to others. Their faces turned red immediately and they quickly replied: "No, we
I will send a message immediately to please the Fourth Princess to rest assured."
...
King Qing's messenger to urge troops arrived indeed.
Tang Ao was the messenger he met thirty miles away from the east city of Jincheng. When he saw that the Jizhou Army finally left Jincheng, the messenger looked happy, but when he met King Ji, he learned that the Jizhou Army had just arrived in a short time.
He couldn't march anymore, all because he didn't have enough military rations with him, and his face turned black again.
Speaking of which, Tang Ao's reason was quite fair. Along the way, he was eating ashes behind King Qing's coalition forces. He didn't get any benefit at all, and naturally he didn't get a grain of food. Under such circumstances, what he brought was
If the military rations are not enough, everything makes sense.
Facing the messenger, Tang Ao made a request, that is, if the Qingwang coalition forces could provide them with some military rations. After all, the other party should have grabbed a lot this time, so it is normal to give some to himself.
Of course, the messenger did not dare to agree to such a big thing, and besides, he knew very well that despite the fact that the Qing King's coalition troops captured the city seemingly smoothly, in fact, there was no extra food left in the captured city.
Of course, the messenger would not say these words to Tang Ao, and the other party would not believe him if he told them. He could only use the excuse that the matter was important and needed to be reported to King Qing, and he rushed towards Lancheng again.
Tang Ao ignored the intention of King Qing's envoy, and he did not believe that the other party would send him military rations. Of course, if he really dared to send it, he would really dare to accept it, and it would be in vain or it would be wrong. However, at this time, he did not give up at all.
On this, he was thinking about another thing, holding the Flying Eagle Letter sent by Feng Xun in his hand, and didn't say a word for a long time.
She underestimated Oyadan's political sensitivity. If she hadn't thought of it so much before, she discovered it belatedly after seeing the Luolu tribe and Bukhanna being destroyed respectively.
The original arrangement was that the army would enter the territory of the Western Barbarians, and when they gained the upper hand, they would have to consider the affairs of Russia and the Horse.
If you continue to cut off, you will inevitably suffer from chaos.
It's okay now. Oyadan said hello in advance. If he was doing this, it would be really inappropriate. Fortunately, the letter stated that Oyadan only wanted to avenge his father and brother Wang, and did not want to rule the powerful Western Barbarians.
the meaning of.
In this way, the two people's ideas are similar. Even so, I will spare Erhema once. Of course, if I find that this person has signs of independence in the future, I will still take action without hesitation. For the sake of Eryadan
For the sake of his own sake, just spare his life.
After making the decision, Tang Ao wrote a reply to Feng Xun and Lou Ming, asking them to listen to Oyadan's opinions when encountering problems. She understood Ximan better than anyone else. With her help, Ximan's
Only then will the problem be better solved.
After all, the reason why Tang Ao attacked the Western Barbarians this time was to take advantage of their civil strife. Otherwise, with the strength of the Western Barbarians and the Jizhou Army facing each other head-on, I really don’t know how long this battle will last.
How much military food and strength will be consumed.
Among the three places controlled by Jizhou, apart from Jizhou, Liaozhou is also very poor. Over the years, King Zhong has only been busy building an army there, and the people's livelihood is in a mess. As for Guzhou, let alone Guzhou, it is too
Poor.
Among the three states, only Jizhou can provide a certain amount of taxes to support the war. If Tang Ao had not produced so many things, and they were all hot goods, and if his own trading company could make a lot of money, I am afraid that Jizhou would not be able to do so now.
Go out north.
People say that fighting a war means fighting for money. Tang Ao has truly experienced it now.
In particular, he also has a Shanshan Guard Cavalry under him. It is no exaggeration to say that the cost of just one heavy cavalry in one day is as much as ten infantry. Even one light cavalry needs to catch up to four.
