Princess Haiya didn't know what Fan Wencheng was thinking, otherwise maybe Fan Wencheng would be killed on the spot.

Fan Wencheng groaned: "Princess, if the grassland does not send troops......"

If the grassland does not send troops, it is still certain that the Southern Chu will be destroyed by launching a full-scale war with the military strength of the Great Zhou, but the desolate tribe is a variable.

Although the Desolate Clan has been submitted, both the Emperor and the ministers of the court are still wary of the Desolate Clan. Even if the desolate clan is sincere and obedient now, but after the capture of Southern Chu and the strength of the Great Zhou is damaged, will the desolate clan have ambitions?

It's not impossible! Without the help of the grassland cavalry, the Great Zhou would have suffered a lot of losses if they wanted to destroy Southern Chu.

Before Fan Wencheng's words were finished, Princess Haiya had already snorted: "Who told you that the grassland did not send troops?" The temple instigated King Zuo Xian to rebel, and the old Khan king and my father died under the conspiracy of the temple. ”

Fan Wencheng was overjoyed when he heard this, it was good that the grassland was willing to send troops, but he didn't know how many cavalry he could send.

Princess Haiya continued: "After the palace came back from the capital, I convened the leaders of the grasslands to discuss, if we want to attack the temple, my grassland will definitely send troops to fight, but Nanchu is too far away from my grassland, and my grassland grain and grass are difficult to continue." ”

When she was in the capital, the emperor only mentioned to her about sending troops, because it was not determined whether the barren clan would return to obedience, so he did not talk about it deeply.

At that time, she didn't think about it so much, and after returning to the grassland to discuss with the tribal leader, she talked about the issue of grain and grass.

It is possible to send troops to expedition to Southern Chu, but the distance is too far, and it is very difficult to supply grain and grass, so Da Zhou can only bear the burden of grain and grass.

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Please rest assured that the grain and grass of the grassland cavalry will be supplied by my Da Zhou!" ”

Before leaving, the emperor and the important ministers of the court had already discussed the matter of sending troops to the grassland, and they all agreed that the Great Zhou would supply grain and grass.

First, it is indeed very difficult for the grassland to supply grain and grass; Second, with the support of five million taels of silver, the national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty is much more abundant, which is not a big burden; Thirdly, the land that laid down Nanchu eventually returned to the Great Zhou, and it is a bit unreasonable to let the grassland bear the grain and grass by itself.

Princess Haiya said with a smile: "Originally, the palace was still a little worried, but since the pavilion master took out five million taels of silver to support the Southern Expedition, then the palace is relieved." ”

After finishing speaking, Princess Haiya seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked: "Lord Fan, the warriors of the grassland went out with them, although they were also to take revenge, but if they were captured......

Fan Wencheng listened to Zhengse and said: "Princess, the emperor also said before the minister left that all the spoils captured by the cavalry of the grassland on the battlefield will belong to them, and they will not be taken back on the big Monday. ”

Before he left, the emperor did talk about this problem, although he said that he would supply grain and grass to the steppe cavalry, but if he didn't give them some benefits, how could he mobilize their enthusiasm?

Fan Wencheng continued: "And the emperor also said that when the temple is destroyed and Southern Chu is destroyed, the emperor promises to reward the grassland cavalry who participated in the battle. ”

Princess Haiya smiled and nodded: "Well, what the emperor thinks about is that they can fight bravely to kill the enemy." ”

Fan Wencheng said solemnly: "Princess, the emperor also said that the cavalry of the grassland must also obey military discipline when they go south, and they cannot burn, kill and loot, once they violate military discipline, they will be dealt with by military law!" ”

The cavalry of the grassland is poorer, and the grassland is not more prosperous than the south, these grassland cavalry are afraid that they will not be able to resist the temptation as they go south, and they will burn and loot all the way, which will make the people in the south resentful.

Although the emperor promised that the spoils of the steppe cavalry would go to themselves, he was referring to the spoils of war on the battlefield, not to let them burn and loot the booty.

The Great Zhou Dynasty attacked Southern Chu to dominate the world, not to burn and loot, so the emperor attached great importance to military discipline. Before the high priest of the desolate tribe left, the emperor repeatedly told him that after the desolate tribe entered Beijing from Qinzhen, they were not allowed to burn, kill, loot and massacre.

Because the emperor knew that the hatred between the desolate tribe and the temple was as deep as the sea, he was afraid that the soldiers of the desolate tribe would be blinded by hatred after entering the southern land.

However, the high priest of the desolate tribe promised not to burn, kill, loot and massacre, because the desolate tribe would migrate to the southwest to gain a foothold, and if they killed on a large scale, it would only inspire contradictions and hatred.

And what worries the emperor the most is the steppe cavalry, the steppe cavalry also came with hatred, and there is no fear, so it is more difficult to restrain it.

Princess Haiya nodded and said, "I know that the emperor wants to rule the world, and the people of the southern land will also be the emperor's people in the future, and once the killing is too heavy, it will be difficult to make the people of the southern land return to their hearts." ”

"Let the emperor rest assured, before leaving, the palace will definitely give orders, if anyone really dares to offend, then the military law will deal with it!"

Princess Haiya said very decisively, this is because the relationship between her and Tang Ning is already a family, and Duo Yicai did not hesitate to give her full support.

Fan Wencheng smiled: "The princess understands righteousness! ”

Princess Haiya smiled: "I'm just saying that, in fact, the emperor has more prestige in the grassland than the palace, and what the palace says is not necessarily more useful than what the emperor says." ”

Fan Wencheng just smiled slightly, but he recognized what Princess Haiya said in his heart, the turmoil in the grassland at the beginning did allow the emperor to establish his prestige in the grassland in one fell swoop.

Now that Princess Haiya has given birth to the emperor's son, she will soon inherit the throne of the steppe, which also deepens the prestige of the emperor, and in any case, the emperor is the son of the king of the steppe Khan after all.

Although Princess Haiya is now the most powerful person on the grassland, when it comes to prestige, Princess Haiya's prestige is indeed inferior to that of the emperor.

Although he recognized what Princess Haiya said in his heart, it was impossible for Fan Wencheng to say it, and asked with a smile: "Princess, I don't know how many troops the grassland can send?" ”

Princess Haiya said with a smile: "How many troops to send, the palace still needs to discuss with the leaders." ”

At the beginning, Princess Haiya once thought that the soldiers of the grassland would follow Tangning's southern expedition, but now that the child was born, her thoughts in her heart have also changed.

Because she wants to leave soldiers and horses to guard the Khan's court and protect the safety of the children, although the grassland is very calm now, but it is also necessary to prevent trouble.

Fan Wencheng's face was full of contemplation, this is different from what he expected, the grassland will not do its best to send troops, so how much can Princess Haiya send troops?

Seeing Fan Wencheng's appearance, Haiya smiled and said, "Lord Fan, don't worry, the grassland and the temple have a deep feud in the sea of blood, and besides, how can this palace not help the emperor wholeheartedly?" In this southern expedition, the grassland will send at least 50,000 elite cavalry, which can still be guaranteed by the palace. ”

50,000 elite cavalry? Fan Wencheng listened to the joy on his face, it would be enough for the grassland to produce 50,000 cavalry.
