The first thousand and forty-fifth chapters crazy barbarian coalition
In a feudal dynasty, power is vested in one person.
In the family world, the emperor is the king of the country.
Therefore, the emperor's affairs are major events in this country, and the emperor's life and death are even more important among major events.
Unless the country is destroyed and people are destroyed, the life and death of the emperor is the country's top priority.
Now that the old emperor of Dali is critically ill, he may be bound to heaven at any time. Even if the expeditionary army had any plans before, they can only shelve it temporarily.
According to the law, princes and princes who leave the capital cannot return to the capital unless summoned.
This was proved even more when King Yu, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, hurried towards the capital.
And when something like this happens, these barbarian coalition forces are the first to capture the horse.
If they had known that the Immortal Army would stay at the beach for such a long time, and if they had known that the old Emperor Dali's condition would suddenly worsen, they would never have formed any coalition.
During the time they were united, their respective armies consumed more than twice as much food and supplies as usual.
Not to mention, Ryukyu's resources were unable to provide warships for so many coalition forces, so most of the barbarian army's warships were temporarily built at their own expense.
And this is also a big expense.
As a result, they had been busy preparing for such a long time, but in the end the expeditionary force did not come.
The weather has already turned colder, and autumn is now more than half over. No matter what the situation of the old emperor of Dali is, by the time King Yu returns to the expeditionary force again, it will at least be winter.
It is true that the weather in the south is warmer than in the north, but after winter, this battle still cannot be fought.
Even if the expeditionary force does not retreat, they will have to wait until the spring of next year and the weather gets warmer before they can go to sea.
In other words, for almost half a year, the operations of the Northern Xinjiang Expeditionary Force had to be suspended.
However, the expeditionary force can be stationed at the seaside for a whole winter, and they, the coalition forces, cannot wait.
One of the most important reasons why they covet Dali is that the conditions where they live are relatively not very good, so their lives are relatively difficult.
Summer and autumn are fine, but once winter comes, supplies and food will start to become tight.
Even the richest barbarian tribes do not have much excess food and materials to contribute, so the disbandment of the coalition is inevitable.
In other words, the trap they set for the expeditionary force this time was broken without attacking.
The food, grass and materials consumed for this purpose were wasted.
This time, the barbarian tribes who had long wanted to retreat finally had their reasons to speak out.
And of course.
This coalition was originally loose, and was only united because it had to deal with the Immortal Army. Now that the war with the expeditionary force is no longer possible, there is no need to unite.
Therefore, when the first person expressed his desire to retreat at the meeting, more people also had the same idea.
What works is effective.
When the people above cannot sit still, the people below will naturally be affected.
The conflicts that had been temporarily suppressed among the various tribes slowly erupted after the people above expressed the possibility of withdrawing their troops.
Originally, there were only occasional frictions between the armies, but they began to intensify.
When this situation finally could no longer be suppressed, the coalition forces came to the point where they existed in name only.
In just three days, these barbarian coalition forces that had gathered together for the same reason were completely over.
All the barbarian armies began preparations for retreat.
However, the people below just obeyed orders, but the people above were still a little unwilling.
They had been preparing for so long and expending so much energy, only to end up with nothing.
This is nothing, war is not as simple as you punch me and kick me.
A war changes rapidly, and any situation is possible. And when it comes to a war of a certain scale, it is not uncommon for many preparations to go unused.
Therefore, even though they were a little reluctant, since it happened, they had no choice but to admit it.
At the very least, they don't have to worry about the expeditionary force until next spring.
But the problem will be after next spring.
…
Over at Dali Capital, after the old emperor became critically ill, it could be expected that the negotiations between the mission and the Dali court would inevitably be postponed.
Anyway, the advantage now lies with Dali, and they have the confidence to postpone the negotiations.
Negotiations will not continue until the old emperor's condition stabilizes, or until he is unable to survive Bintian, or until the new emperor ascends the throne.
How long this time will be postponed, no one knows.
The biggest fear is that there will be no way for negotiations to continue until spring.
There is no way for negotiations to continue and there will naturally be no results.
According to the last intelligence sent back by the spies, although King Yu left, the expeditionary force showed no signs of retreat.
If this immortal army has been stationed at the seaside all winter and chooses to go to sea after spring, they will not be able to form another multi-tribal coalition.
When the time comes, the strength of Ryukyu Island alone may not be able to withstand the offensive of the Immortal Army.
The sea area between Dali Nanjiang and Ryukyu is the best battlefield for them to deal with the expeditionary force. Once they miss it, it will be difficult to get another suitable opportunity.
However, the expeditionary force is not going to sea now, and there is no hope of dealing with the Immortal Army before the coalition disbands.
So now there is only one way.
That's right, it's Di Xin.
As the general of Zhenguan in Northern Xinjiang, King Yu may be just a useless person, but he is the core of this immortal army.
Once an accident happens to King Yu, not only the morale of the Immortal Army will be severely damaged, but also their qualifications to go to war will also be lost.
The person who knows a person best is always his enemy.
And this sentence is also universal between forces.
The surrounding barbarians have coveted Dali for a long time. Regardless of whether there is a chance to replace him in the end, they have never stopped studying Dali.
Among them, the various laws of Dali are naturally included.
In fact, most of the barbarian laws were copied from Dali, but some changes were made in some places.
Without the consent of the emperor and the court, the garrison troops in various places could not leave their areas at will.
Even the soldiers stationed on the border are the same. They can only fight back when they are invaded, and only at this time can they counterattack without the consent of the court.
And the forces surrounding Dali also take advantage of this. Once they find that the situation is not conducive to their own side, they will retreat early to end the war.
Therefore, the border areas in various places have always been in a defensive posture. Even if they have the ability to counterattack, they have not found this opportunity.
But this time Northern Xinjiang was able to go on an expedition, and they had already figured out the reason behind it.
The root of everything lies with His Royal Highness King Yu.
