After supporting so many strong soldiers, even if we don't fight or do anything every day, the consumption is very huge, let alone fighting. So it's not too much to describe spending money every day like running water.
Fortunately, the land in the Northeast is fertile. A few years ago, under the guidance of Tang Ao, the Science and Technology Department of Longyuan has developed a simple chemical fertilizer. It is not as good as that of later generations, but it can still increase the output.
More than 30%.
Sufficient food was also one of the reasons why Tang Ao dared to send troops.
The flying eagle flapped its wings and soared into the sky. Tang Ao had his hands on his back, and his mind had already been focused on solving the problem of the Western Barbarians. On the contrary, the King Qing coalition in front of him had never been taken seriously by Tang Ao. Now he didn't even know the opponent's retreat.
They were all blocked, and the enemy had no choice but to keep fighting forward.
But if King Qing realizes that the situation is not good and wants to withdraw, then Tang Ao will naturally make them look good.
...
Tang Ao replied, and Feng Xun and Lou Ming were relieved. They should have been preparing to march into the Western Barbarians long ago, and they were just waiting for this letter.
Not only did Feng Xun and Lou Ming read the letter, but Oyadan also saw the content in person, and she couldn't help but relax. Then her eyes fell on the sand table in the tent, and her fingers fell on Xiucheng
He said: "The general guarding Xiucheng is Lu Qinghe of the Lu family. I would like to go there in person and try to persuade him to be used by us."
"No." Upon hearing that such a risky thing was going to be done, both Feng Xun and Lou Ming clearly expressed their opposition.
"Why not? Have you forgotten what the king said in his letter? When it comes to the Western Barbarians, my opinion is the main one."
When Oyadan asked in return, Feng Xun and Feng Xun were speechless and could only nod in agreement.
This is not Oyadan's impulsiveness. If she wants to save the life of the third brother, she needs to make some contributions, so that she can rest assured.
After going deep into the tiger's den, they decided who would accompany them. As a general in the army, Feng Xun naturally could not accompany him. Lou Ming was also a civil servant. Although he was also a man of force, there were many things waiting for him to make decisions, so he could not accompany him either.
The final task fell to Mu Jingshan, the leader of Longya Squadron.
Mu Jingshan readily agreed to this, and almost patted his chest and promised that as long as he was here, no one could hurt the fourth princess. At the same time, he arranged for his squad leader Hua Quan to rush to Xiucheng first.
, arrange some manpower in the general's mansion in the city to be able to respond in case of an accident.
Although Oyadan wanted to say that Lu Qinghe would not do anything to her, everyone was caring about her. Without these arrangements, Feng Xun and Lou Ming would not agree and could only accept it.
for these good intentions.
Hugh city.
As a border town between the Western Barbarians and the Bahan tribe, the Lu family was stationed here all year round, guarding the northern border for the barbarians.
I originally thought that if something happened to Daman, there was a 30% chance that it would happen in Northern Xinjiang, but no one expected that something happened to Barbarian.
The second prince openly committed an act of rebellion, killing the eldest prince Obike, injuring the king of the barbarians, and threatening the imperial master Fu Ru to use him. In just one night, the sky above the barbarian capital changed.
When the Lu family got the news, it was already too late to send troops to help. As a last resort, the Lu family could only stand still and wait for the opportunity.
But before the opportunity came, a messenger from the new barbarian king Origi came, stating that they wanted to strengthen the barbarians and send troops to do something big. They also asked the Lu family to cooperate.
The letter did not explicitly state what to do if they did not cooperate, but both the head of the family, Lu Zizhen, and his son Lu Qing knew it clearly. If the Lu family did not agree, I am afraid that the new barbarian king would defeat them before sending troops to fight. It's home.
They didn't want to bring disaster to the Lu family, but mainly wanted to expand their strength, develop the family, and send troops to conquer the land. In the end, they agreed to Origi's request, and the head of the family, Lu Zizhen, even took 10,000 elite cavalry from the family to Mandu and headed for A land of great dryness.
After his father left, Lu Qinghe spent every day without worrying. He was worried about the safety of his father and his people, fearing that they would lose the battle and lose their lives.
From time to time, I still think about what if I win. It is said that the land of Daqian is very rich. Once the territory of the barbarians expands, won’t the Lu family, one of its members, also benefit from it? Then it will be really It's the best time to grow your family.
Amid worries and hopes, Lu Qinghe couldn't sleep well for a while. That night, it had been dark for more than an hour, and he still didn't fall asleep, but just sat in the room not knowing what to think.
"Young Master, someone wants to see you." The familiar voice of the housekeeper suddenly sounded outside the room.
"See you? It's so late, who is here?" Thinking of the time outside, Lu Qinghe frowned, showing a bit of displeasure.
"The other party was wearing a bamboo hat and refused to reveal his identity, but the person who came said something - the eagle flies thousands of miles away. He said that the young master knew who the person was as soon as he heard it." The butler also said as if he was confused. If not The person who came here took out a piece of gold and asked him for help. He really didn't want to disturb Lu Qinghe.
"The eagle flies thousands of miles high?" After a moment, Lu Qinghe sat up from his chair.
These four words were what he said when he was playing with Oyadan when he was a child. He said that when he grew up, he wanted to be a Bar Ter, and he wanted to fly thousands of miles like an eagle, and he wanted to step on the sky. Underfoot.
Speaking of which, it is just a big talk made by children on a whim. As they grow up, they will find that the world is not as simple as they imagined when they were young, nor can they become heroes just by wanting to. .
But the Eagle Sky is Thousand Miles Away was the explanation that Oyadan gave to Lu Qinghe at the beginning. It was also a secret between the two people. As he grew up, he never said such words again. Who could say such words? Naturally, the only people left were Oyadan or the people she sent.
"Could it be the person she sent? What do you want to do by sending someone to contact you at this time?" Questions quickly arose in his mind, but Lu Qingcai decided to meet the person. For no other reason, he just wanted to know How is she doing in Jizhou?
Yes, Lu Qinghe likes Oyadan, the delicate flower of the barbarians. He is also planning to ask his father to propose marriage when he grows up and makes some achievements. Unfortunately, before he can do anything, Oyadan Dan went to the Imperial Capital of Daqian, and then her heart suddenly flew away.
"Let's arrange for people to come into the house. Keep it secret and don't let others see it." Thinking that Origi is the head of the family now, it is better not to let too many people know about the person who secretly met Oyadan. Lu Qinghe faced the door. The housekeeper outside gave orders.
After the housekeeper got the order, he went out to make arrangements. Soon the guests entered the house through the back door and saw Lu Qinghe, who was already dressed in the secret room. Seeing the real owner, Oyadan lifted up his bamboo hat, revealing her of stunning beauty.
"You...why did you come in person?" When he saw that it was Oyadan who came, and it was herself, Lu Qinghe couldn't help but feel nervous, and then looked outside nervously.
Mu Jingshan, who came in with Oyadan, suddenly said: "Don't worry, Major General. There are only two spies sent by the Barbarian King outside. They have been killed. No one will know about our coming here."
"What? Did you kill someone?" Lu Qinghe looked shocked when he heard this.
The person Origi sent to monitor him was killed like this. Doesn't that mean he was trying to prove his evil intentions? Doesn't it mean he was forcing others to deal with the Lu family?
This was of course Mu Jingshan's intention. Since he appeared here with the fourth princess, he certainly would not give the Lu family a chance.
"Yes, I was the one who was killed." Oyadan nodded and took the initiative to take the blame on himself.
"Well...those people have known about their existence for a long time, but they haven't touched them because they can't kill them." Lu Qinghe said anxiously.
"There is nothing that cannot be killed. You are just worried that the traitor Origi will be harmful to the Lu family when he finds out, but what if he can't even protect himself?" Oyadan said without any change in his expression.
"Well, what does this mean?" Lu Qinghe's eyes were filled with confusion.
"Well, I might as well tell you frankly that this time Origi enters Daqian and will not be able to come back. Not only him, but also the cavalry he brought with him will not be able to come back." Oryadan said with great certainty.
Said in a tone of voice.
She was very sure, but Lu Qinghe obviously didn't believe it, "Haha, Your Royal Highness, this is impossible. This time it's not just Origi himself, but also the Xiang family, the Tian family and our Lu family. In addition, there are
The Luolu tribe and the Bahan tribe have more than 70,000 cavalry in total. Even if the war goes badly, they can still return calmly if they want to retreat. Trying to keep them is nothing more than a dream."
"Is it impossible? What if this was said by King Ji himself?" Oyadan smiled confidently. She didn't know why, but whatever Tang Ao did, she thought it was impossible.
.
Although the enemy had more than 70,000 cavalry this time, since Tang Ao said he would keep them, Oyadan believed that he would keep them.
"What did King Ji say?"
"Yes, it was King Ji who said it himself. Not only that, he is now leading the Jizhou Army behind Origi. If they just keep moving forward, that's fine. If they dare to retreat, then King Ji will block him.
They must stay at the retreat so that they can never return to the barbaric land." At this moment, Oyadan was not afraid to tell Lu Qinghe about Tang Ao's plan, and he would not have the chance to send the news out.
"Ah!" Lu Qinghe's expression changed drastically when he heard that King Ji had already made arrangements. He suddenly thought that his father was among the coalition forces. He would be fine. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but
He asked aloud, "My father is still in the coalition army. Does King Ji want to be rude to him too?"
"Whether you're welcome or not depends on what the young general chooses." This time, it was Mu Jingshan who spoke. After all, there were some words he said that were far more appropriate than Oyadan.
