"The spies came to report that a large army appeared sixty miles away to the east, numbering about 900,000!"
Although Li Fei looked a little anxious, her words were full of fighting spirit. It seemed that she wanted to lead the army alone and have a chance to fight these 900,000 people.
Zhao Rui looked solemn. The reason why he was able to annihilate Tehamu's 600,000-strong army last time was just because he surpassed the opponent's bow and crossbow production level and the suddenness of the attack.
In a head-on confrontation, the current merchant army may not be able to defeat the Turkic army.
Although a large number of Turks joined the merchant army, they also brought out a large number of oxen and cavalry and various powerful troops.
However, the coordination between the various armies needs to be improved. It is indeed difficult for such an army to fight against the Turks.
At this moment, Zhao Weirui suddenly dragged a tall and thick man into the tent.
"Brother Wang, this guy has been sneaking around outside the camp. He must be a spy, so we caught him!"
Zhao Rui looked slightly sideways. The man in front of him looked like a Turkic general, with a short knife unique to the Turkic royal family hanging on his waist.
"I'm not a spy!" The man hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down for two steps: "I am the third son of Tujue Jili Khan, Modu!"
Zhao Rui was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Geely Khan's son would appear here.
Even if you want to spy on the military situation, you won't send a prince here.
"It turns out you're still a prince. What's the point of running to my tent?"
Mo Du took a few deep breaths and then took out an edict from his body.
"This is an edict issued by Tuo Tuo Bu Hua under the guise of my father Khan's order. He actually wants to gather all the armies of the country and move closer to this side. It is really abominable to act with such disregard for the life and death of the people!"
Zhao Rui was a little surprised. He immediately stepped forward and took the edict. The content on it was indeed a bit cruel. He actually ordered all men over the age of fifteen in the country to assemble.
This is not just about gathering people there, but also mobilizing all the materials in the country at the same time.
It seems that Tuo Tuo Bu Hua wants to mobilize the whole country to have a decisive battle with Zhao Rui.
"Your Highness, you're not here just to deliver this edict to me, are you?"
Mo Du hesitated and knelt forward a few steps again.
"A year ago, a group of businessmen from the Western Regions came to the Snow Kingdom. It was from them that Father Khan learned about Dashang, and also how rich Dashang was! From that time on, Father Khan was thinking about how to annex Dashang.
!”
Zhao Rui threw the edict aside casually and then sat back down.
"Isn't His Highness the Prince interested in such a rich place? If Jili Khan can really annex the entire Great Shang, this rich land may be in the hands of His Highness the Prince in the future."
There was a bit of a self-deprecating smile on Mo Du's face.
"I still know how much the Turks weigh! What my father Khan heard was only that Dashang was rich and prosperous, but what I saw was an extremely powerful country, which cannot be shaken by the Turks at all!"
Zhao Rui suddenly appreciated the prince in front of him a little more. After all, self-awareness is also a kind of ability.
"Since the prince knows this, I will get straight to the point! The Turks sent a large army to attack the Great Shang for no reason and violated the power of the Emperor of the Great Shang. The Turks must disappear from this world."
Mo Du's throat moved slightly, and he felt a little dazed, but he soon calmed down.
