As soon as they arrived at the gate of Yinlong Hall, a person from a distance ran over in a hurry. From a distance, he raised his voice and called: "Your Highness Ninth, Your Highness Ninth."
The five of them were all stunned. The person coming was Eunuch Chang, one of Emperor Wanlong's personal entourage. Could there be something unexpected going on?
When Eunuch Chang arrived in front of the Yinlong Hall, he couldn't help but shut up in shock when he saw that the five princes of Dagan had gathered in the Yinlong Hall and were staring at him intently.
Eunuch Chang saluted quickly, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he saluted respectfully and said hello.
"Eunuch Chang, what's so urgent?"
"Your Majesty Ninth Prince, Your Majesty asked you to go to Changming Palace as soon as possible."
Li Luo and others all looked puzzled. Apart from Li Xuanxu's incident, they had not heard of any other major events happening.
"It just so happens that several of your highnesses are here, so please go along with me. I was originally going to call the other highnesses from each palace."
"Eunuch Chang, my father called us over to give us some instructions?" Li Xuanying asked with a frown.
"I don't know much about this villain, but I heard that it has something to do with the Northern Territory." Eunuch Chang bowed and responded.
"Northern Xinjiang? Mengjue?" Li Luo's heart moved, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a suspicious voice.
Eunuch Chang glanced at several people and nodded imperceptibly.
Li Xuanying and the others didn't think anything of it, but Li Luo was shocked. This behemoth finally made some movement. Li Luo looked up at the sky, and saw a dark cloud in the distance covering the future. Through the clouds, there seemed to be a faint trace of blood.
Arriving above the Dagan states.
Changming Palace.
One wave had just subsided, and another wave started again. This incident caused even greater turmoil in the government and the public. The reason lies in an inconspicuous secret letter in the hands of Emperor Wanlong.
Li Luo and others arrived quickly and were waiting in Changming Palace early.
Half an hour later, Taishi Di Jie, Taifu Ling Shutong, Taibao Li Chengye, Young Master Taishu Xianchou, and Zongbo Yang Wanli came hand in hand to visit the palace.
Emperor Wanlong glanced at the people in the hall. These people were all the mainstays of the Dagan court. They all had their own strengths and weaknesses, and great changes were coming. If they could work together, they might be able to avert danger.
Emperor Wanlong put down the secret letter in his hand, ordered everyone to sit down, and said in a deep voice: "I am calling you into the palace this time because I have an important matter to discuss."
"Your Majesty, please give me your permission." All the ministers responded in unison.
Emperor Wanlong took a deep breath, raised the secret letter in his hand, and said loudly: "This is the secret letter from the Dingbei Army. Cheng Ye must have heard about it."
"Your Majesty, I just found out."
"Not to mention this, there is a secret report from the army that the Mengjue Guya tribe in northern Xinjiang will come to Zhuocheng in the near future. What do you think?"
As soon as Emperor Wanlong's words came out, the expressions of everyone in the palace changed and they were shocked, but the common feature was that they all had solemn and sad expressions on their faces.
"Chengye knows a lot about Meng Jue, please tell me."
"Yes." Li Chengye accepted the order, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said in a deep voice, "The Guya tribe is one of the seven major tribes of the Mongols. Although their number is not large, they have a high status in the Mongols. The Mongolian royal family has great respect for the Guya tribe.
Always respectful.
I don’t know if this sudden visit is the intention of the Mengjue royal family or the Guya clan. However, no matter which way it is, it is because the visitor is ill-intentioned. We must deal with it carefully. If there is a slight mistake, there may be another war at the border.
.”
Several princes whispered, and Li Xuanmin asked loudly: "Uncle, I have heard about the seven Mengjue clans, and Guya is one of them. Do they dare to come to Dagan alone without Mengjue's permission?"
"Xuan Min doesn't know that although Caohai in Northern Xinjiang is named after the Mengjue by our Da Gan, in fact the Mengjue is only the largest tribe among them. In addition to the Mengjue, there are also Yaoting, Hu Dansi, Luoyun,
There are six major clans: Emperor Sheng Jiucai, Ji Di, and Gu Ya, and hundreds of small Caohai clans.
The territory of Caohai is extremely vast, even worse than that of the Thirty-three Prefectures of Dagan. Although the Mongols have strong troops and horses and are the overlord of Caohai, in the northern Xinjiang area, the two places are thousands of miles apart, so it is not a big deal.
All of them require Meng Jue to nod.
Each tribe goes its own way. If something big happens, the Mengjue will send a message to convene various ministries for discussion. I heard that there is a miraculous method of sending messages in the sea of grass. It is said that the magic is even better than flying birds sending messages. It is very common for thousands of miles day and night.
, so although the sea of grass is vast, the flow of news is not slow."
Li Chengye paused for a moment and then continued: "In addition, it is also related to Gu Ya's status.
The Guya clan is less prosperous than other clans in Caohai and is not good at martial arts, but the place they live in is one of the most fertile and beautiful areas in Caohai. This is precisely because of Guya's respected status.
The gods believed by the Caohai tribes are different from those of the Dagan Prefectures. They mostly use totems as their symbols.
According to the legend, Gu Ya is an oracle and has always been respected by other tribes. Gu Ya is not without his talents. He is the best in arithmetic, astrology and medicine. He is the best in Caohai. It is not an exaggeration to call him the think tank in Caohai.
, there are often disciples of Guya walking among the tribes in Caohai, and they are very popular among the tribes.
I have seen on the battlefield of Beifu that Gu Yazhong is good at power and planning, and has made great achievements in military formations. He is by no means an easy person."
"As the emperor's uncle said, Meng Jue should not let Gu Ya come to our Dagan easily. Meng Jue and I, Dagan, are on the same page and have been fighting for years. If Gu Ya comes at this time, isn't he afraid of Meng Jue's suspicion?"
Li Chengye smiled bitterly and sighed: "The King of Jin underestimated Meng Jue. Not to mention Meng Jue, the other tribes in Caohai, Yaoting, Hu Dansi, Luoyun, etc., I'm afraid they don't know how to use force.
No matter how much we lose to Dagan, Beifu has been in a stalemate these years, but some tribes in Caohai have no interest in raising troops to Dagan. If not, Beifu may be in danger."
Several people in the hall took a breath of cold air and looked horrified. They had known that there would be frequent wars in Beifu and that Da Gan would be more defensive than offensive. However, they did not expect that the situation would be so dangerous. If what Li Chengye said was true, all the tribes in Northern Xinjiang would join forces to attack.
How long can Ganbei Prefecture's defense line be maintained?
Li Chengye glanced at Li Luo, who was silent, and said harmoniously: "I heard that Mu Tianlang from Xuanlou is practicing cavalry formations hard in Xifu. The imaginary enemy is Meng Jue, but I am not belittling myself. Meng Jue
The cavalry is far beyond the reach of the clowns of the Western Regions. Using force to defeat force is really the last resort. It is difficult to defeat the Mongolian tribes by force alone."
As soon as these words came out, not only Li Xuanying and others, but also Emperor Wanlong couldn't help but be moved. Mu Tianlang is now regarded as a leader in the Dagan army, and has won every battle. If you know that Prince Chun Li Chengye who is facing each other on the battlefield said this, look
Coming to Mengjue is indeed a big worry.
"Xuanlou, what do you think?" Emperor Wanlong asked in a serious voice.
"Back to the emperor, what my father said is absolutely true. The territory of Dizhou, the Western Prefecture, has almost returned to the territory of Dagan. Only Moshang City is still in the hands of Meng Jue. In recent years, Mu Tianlang and Meng Jue soldiers have also had temptations.
It is indeed difficult to deal with. Not to mention the strong soldiers and horses, the Mongolian army's undefeated momentum alone is definitely not comparable to that of other countries in the Western Regions. It is unwise for Xuanlou to worry about angering the Mongolians. Although he is sure to regain Moshang City, he still
