Chapter 299: The General's Mansion Discusses Sending Troops
The secret alliance of the Kazakun tribe and the Kerier tribe on the grassland was discovered by Princess Yinting and the people who were planted in the five tribes by Huerdun, and then the news was spread to Rock City.
Since being "preached" by Meng Tian and Meng Li that day, Princess Yinting's opinion has changed greatly, and her attitude has improved a lot, and she took the initiative to invite Princess Yinting to play on the street for a few days, which made Princess Yinting feel a little overwhelmed.
In the face of Xue Bin's overture, Princess Yinting was naturally happy. She was really good to Xue Bin, and later inadvertently learned that Xue Bin had spent all her savings for her, and in order to complain about Xue Bin, she also went to Meng Tian and Meng Li, asking them to pay for her and Xue Bin's consumption.
Hearing Princess Yinting's words, Meng Tian and Meng Li couldn't cry or laugh a little, but for the sake of peace in the future, spending some money was nothing, so they agreed to Princess Yinting's request.
With enough silver in her pocket, Princess Yinting took Xue Bin around every day in restaurants, garment shops, grocery stores, etc., and never came back empty-handed every time she went out. Once the two of them came back, they were carrying a large bag and a small bag, and they happened to be bumped into by Meng Li, and Meng Li was amazed to see it, and sighed to Meng Tian that these two people had not yet married and lived the life of two people.
However, Princess Yinting has not forgotten her mission to come to Yancheng, she and the secret agents placed on the grassland by Huerdun have news every two days, Princess Yinting has always been concerned about the situation on the grassland, but she has been concerned about it a little less.
The intelligence on the grassland is now in the hands of Hurdun and Peiqi, because the information that comes is written in Xiongnu script, and Hurdun is not afraid that these Qin people who are guarding around will understand it, and the two of them will interpret the information under the supervision of a team of Qin troops. As for the sword wolf, since the last time he tried to compete with Xue Bin, he was scolded by Princess Yinting fiercely, and later saw that the knife wolf really couldn't deal with Xue Bin, Princess Yinting simply asked him to connect with the secret agents on the grassland, and then bring the information back.
After receiving the news of the secret alliance between Sangkun and Plangirt, Huerdun did not dare to delay, and immediately told the news to Princess Yinting, who had just returned.
"Your Highness Princess, the news has come from the people we have planted in the Kazakun tribe that Sangkun has reached an alliance with Plangilt, and the two of them will fight against Kundu together. ”
Princess Yinting was washing her face and walked for a long time, and her face was covered with beads of sweat. After hearing the news, Princess Yinting stood up, and she didn't care about wiping the water stains on her face, and turned around and asked Huerdun: "What did you say, teacher? Sang Kun and Plangilt have formed an alliance? How is this possible, aren't the two of them enemies? Besides, Sang Kun's home was destroyed by Plangilt with our own eyes, how could the two of them go together?"
Hurdun put the sheepskin with the information written on the table in his hand, and said to Princess Yinting: "The information says that Sang Kun destroyed the Tulsa tribe of Marada, the old father-in-law of Plangirt, and then I don't know what agreement the two reached, Prangirt actually returned Sangkun's wife to Sang Kun, so the two secretly formed an alliance." ”
Princess Yinting still couldn't believe that this was true, she took the towel that Peggy handed her, wiped the water droplets on her face, then sat on the chair and picked up the sheepskin, and after carefully reading the contents of it, she said: "One of these two people is a cunning fox on the grassland, and the other is a jackal on the grassland, and there is no good thing. No wonder Father Khan has always disliked them. ”
Hurdun said helplessly: "Now is not the time to care what the two of them are, we must now find a way to solve the disputes on the grassland as soon as possible." Now the strength of the steppe is divided into three parts, Kundu and Zamashida, Sangkun and Prangirt, and those small tribes who have ideas about the Khan's position. Whoever wins in the end, it will be your people who will suffer the most, O Princess. ”
Princess Yinting said: "Yes, I must take back the position of sweat handed over to me by my father Khan as soon as possible, and I can't let these people hurt innocent people for their own interests." Teacher, let's go to General Meng and ask him to send troops as soon as possible to help me regain the Khan position. ”
Ying Zheng had agreed to Meng Tian's proposal to build the Great Wall, and more than one million people were requisitioned in Qin, some of whom were sent to the north to build the Great Wall, and the other part was sent to Lishan to build the Afang Palace and the imperial mausoleum built for him.
The first batch of 50,000 people sent to the north had already arrived at the border, and Meng Tian had been busy with this matter for the past two days. Building the Great Wall was not an easy task, and he proposed it, so everything was left to him alone. In order to better build the Great Wall, Meng Tian has sent someone to call back Lao Zhou, who knows how to build the Great Wall, and let him be responsible for the construction of the Great Wall, after all, Lao Zhou is also a talent in this regard, and he knows how to build the city wall on various terrains, and this matter is handed over to him to do, Meng Tian is very relieved.
Meng Tian and Lao Zhou had just finished their work, and the two of them had just sat down when they returned to the General's Mansion, and Meng Tian instructed his men to prepare a meal.
Before the dishes came up, Princess Yinting and Huerdun walked in. 258
"The princess and the messenger of Huldun are here, sit down quickly. You haven't eaten yet, so let's eat with us, and it just so happens that neither of us has eaten. Seeing the two people coming in, Meng Tian hurriedly beckoned the two to sit down.
Hurdun looked at Meng Tian, who was covered in dust, and said embarrassedly: "General Meng, excuse me, General Meng has worked hard these days." Originally, the princess and I didn't want to disturb the general, but a lot of things have happened on the grassland in the past two days, so we came to find the general today. ”
Meng Tian is busy with the affairs of the Great Wall, and the affairs of the army have been handed over to Meng Li, and now Meng Li has not returned, and Meng Tian does not know what new news has come from the grassland in the past few days.
"I've been busy with other things these days, I don't know what happened on the grassland that the princess said, what happened?" Meng Tian asked.
Princess Yinting looked at Meng Tian, and seeing that he didn't look like he was in the know, she said: "Now that Kazakun and Corel among the five major tribes on the grassland have reached an alliance, of course it is a secret, and my people passed the news as soon as they learned the news. Now the form on the steppe is completely different, so I want to ......"
"Does the princess mean that she wants me to send troops as soon as possible to help His Highness seize the throne of the Great Khan?"
Hurdun continued: "Yes, now the grassland is the same as the Central Plains before, the heroes are divided, and now it is the princess who shows her identity, gathers the people on the grassland who are willing to follow the Great Khan, fights against several major tribes together, and then takes back the Khan's throne." I wonder what the general thinks?"
Meng Tian thought about it, he glanced at Lao Zhou, and Lao Zhou gave him a helpless look. Meng Tian said to Princess Yinting and Huerdun: "His Majesty the Emperor has allowed the dispatch of troops, but I can only give you 50,000 people, and these 50,000 people are not my Meng's army, princess, are you willing?"
"Huh?" Originally, when she heard that Meng Tian was going to give her 50,000 people, Princess Yinting just wanted to be happy, but when she heard Meng Tian say that she was not the one who gave herself to the Meng family's army, her face instantly pulled down again.
Hurdun asked: "What does General Meng mean by this? The Meng family army is so powerful, if General Meng can endure the pain and cut his love, I believe that it will not be long before the grassland can return to the arms of the master, isn't it a good thing?"
"Having said that, but I have my considerations, and besides, the Mengjia army is not an ordinary army, we have always fought in the plains before, and we are still a little uncomfortable with the grassland. But don't worry, the princess, the other border troops of my Daqin are not vegetarians, they have lived in the northern Xinjiang for many years, and they have long been adapted to the grassland, and their combat power is not much lower than that of our Mengjia army, so 50,000 border troops should be enough for the princess. ”
Hearing Meng Tian say this, Princess Yinting sighed and said, "Okay, thank you General Meng, but I don't know when the general plans to send troops?"
Meng Tian said: "Princess, don't worry, it's not a trivial matter for the border army to send out 50,000 people, I have to wait until the replenishment of troops arrives before I can lend these people to the princess." I calculated that it would be these two days, and the princess would wait here for two more days before she could lead the army out. ”
"Okay, then I'll wait two more days. By the way, I don't know if I can ask General Meng for a person from the Meng family's army, I don't want much, just one. After Princess Yinting finished speaking, her little face immediately turned red.
Meng Tian didn't know who she was talking about, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will send Xue Bin to lead these 50,000 people to follow the princess, now you can rest assured." ”
Yinting thanked General Meng. Princess Yinting smiled happily and bowed to Meng Tian.
The food was brought in, and before the people in the house could make a move, they heard the voice of Meng Li outside: "General, come out to see who is coming?"
