Chapter 225: Provocation
Hearing this, Yao Wei sighed helplessly, then looked up at Chu Xiaoxiao, and said, "Do you know about the slaughter of Shulan City?"
"Naturally, I know. Chu Xiaoxiao nodded, but she was a little confused, and she didn't know why Yao Ai suddenly talked about it.
However, Chu Xiaoxiao is more or less a number, Yao Ai will mention this matter, there must be his reason.
Yao Ai asked, "Then do you know why the Dijon barbarian army slaughtered Shulan City?"
Hearing Yao Ai's words, Chu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, and then slowly frowned.
If it weren't for Yao Ai mentioning it today, Chu Xiaoxiao really hadn't thought about this problem.
Shulan City is just a small city in the border pass, not an important place for soldiers, even if the Dirong Kingdom is ambitious, it should not abandon Yonglin Pass and Taxue Pass to fight a small city in the border pass.
If the Dirong barbarian army was the first to attack Yonglin Pass at that time, it may not be impossible to take Yonglin Pass by surprise, and then go to the border in one fell swoop.
Looking at Chu Xiaoxiao's puzzled expression, Yao Ai smiled bitterly and said, "Because, in Shulan City, there are most of the grain stocks in the Northwest Land, and there are also military rations from the Northwest Army. ”
Speaking of this, Yao Ai paused for a moment, and then continued: "The Dirong Kingdom is barbaric, and there will inevitably be a shortage of food every time it is cold in winter, so it is necessary to attack Shulan City first, so that the Northwest Army cannot react. ”
Hearing Yao Ai's words, Chu Xiaoxiao really felt that she couldn't speak, and it took a long time before she spoke: "So, don't we even have enough food and grass now?"
If all other things can be maintained, the problem of grain and grass will be difficult to solve.
What's more, this year, all parts of Izumo Province have suffered from snow disasters of varying degrees, and it is simply impossible to come up with enough grain and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops to fight.
After being silent for a while, Chu Xiaoxiao raised her head and asked, "How long can our grain and grass last now?"
Yao Ai said: "One month. ”
"A month?!" Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened slightly.
In a month's time, under the premise that there is a shortage of grain and grass and no goods to go back, the army in the northwest can hold the border at most now, but what about a month later?
Yao Wei looked at Chu Xiaoxiao's expression, couldn't help laughing twice, and then said, "That's it, let's take one step at a time." ”
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that she didn't say anything.
In such an era, in such a huge war, in fact, no matter what she says, it is in vain.
At the same time, in the camp of Di Rong Kingdom, Helian Feng looked at Shenyue, who was wearing a wide black robe with a smile on his face, covering most of his face, and got up to give Shenyue a look like a person from the Central Plains.
"Thank you, Lord Hades. ”
Styx Moon drank slowly with a cup of tea, and didn't speak after hearing Helian Feng's voice, and only after a long time did she slowly speak: "Prince Helian is so happy now, I'm afraid it's early." ”
"What?" Helian Feng didn't expect Shenyue to say such a thing, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Styx Moon took off the hood on his head, looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said jokingly: "Prince Helian doesn't really think that everything will be fine if he takes a Shulan City, right?"
Hearing this, Helian Feng said with both confusion and some displeasure: "The Lord of the Underworld Palace doesn't believe in my ability to be a boy from Di Rong Country? As long as there is enough grain and grass now, how can he lose to the people of the Central Plains?"
"Huh. Looking at Helian Feng's proud appearance, Shenyue immediately laughed twice, "Prince Helian is confident, but it's just ...... I looked at Prince Helian and forgot a little that ten years ago, a woman from Izumo Country let 200,000 troops of Dijon Kingdom die in the Valley of Sorrowful Ghosts......"
What happened ten years ago was a pride for the people of Izumo Province, but it was an absolute shame for the Dijon country.
In the Dijon Kingdom, the status of women was lower than that of the women of Izumo Province, and the men of Dijon Province had always looked down on women, believing that women should be vassals of men.
And in the battle ten years ago, the army of Dijon was about to enter the customs, but it was burned by a fire and returned defeated, and the Valley of Sorrow in the northwest of Izumo Country became the burial place of 200,000 men of Dijon Country.
This matter was suddenly mentioned by the Stygian Moon, and Helian Feng's face was not very good-looking.
"Hades Palace Master ......" Helian Feng said to Hades Moon with a warning on his face.
Looking at Helian Feng's expression, instead of getting angry, Shenyue laughed leisurely, "Prince Helian shouldn't be such a stupid person. ”
Speaking of this, Helian Feng looked at Helian Feng up and down, and just when Helian Feng was impatient with him, Helian Yue continued to speak: "You know, there are many outsiders in this world, and there are many people outside the sky, and Feng Yao was able to bury the 200,000 army of your Dirong Kingdom with his own strength, and now there will naturally be capable people." ”
As soon as the words fell, Helian Feng was subconsciously angry, but after an instant, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he looked at the Styx Moon vigilantly and asked, "Hades Palace Master, what do you mean......"
Although Helian Feng is a little conceited, he is not a fool in the end, if he still can't hear what Helen Yue has said so clearly, then he doesn't know where he died a long time ago, how can he have the status he has in Dijon Country now?
Seeing that he had only reacted now, the smile on his face widened more and more, "I wonder if Prince Helian still remembers the county lord of Huaiyang?"
"Huaiyang County Lord?" Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar title, Styx Yue didn't react for a while, and only remembered after a while, and couldn't help but say, "What the Underworld Lord said was...... Chu Xiaoxiao?"
For Chu Xiaoxiao, Helian Feng was also impressed.
Not only because Chu Xiaoxiao is Feng Xiaoxiao's only daughter, but also because of that woman's strong martial arts and outstanding skills, Chu Xiaoxiao is only less than seventeen years old, but he has repeatedly lost at her hands.
Styx Moon laughed, her narrow eyebrows and eyes were extremely beautiful and exquisite, and the end of her eyes was like a trailing rouge, which made people feel a kind of seductive beauty when they saw it, and even ignored that he was a man.
"Chu Xiaoxiao......" Shenyue savored the name carefully, and after a while, she looked up at Helian Feng, "Prince Helian shouldn't know......, right? Chu Xiaoxiao was also among them. ”
As soon as the words fell, the tea in Helian Feng's hand immediately trembled, and he asked without thinking about it, "What...... What?"
Chu Xiaoxiao is also there?!
Helian Feng didn't know what to say for a while, Chu Xiaoxiao was Feng Yao's daughter, as long as such news was released, it would be enough to make many people in the army frightened.
