Chapter 50: The Great Prince

Because the fire of war has been kindled, it cannot be extinguished abruptly, and the death of the man is an inevitable thing, and the kindness of the woman is of no practical significance, and I am afraid that I will suddenly harm the kindness of the woman, and hinder my strategic vision.

I asked, "Labor Order, where is the White Turban Army fighting now?" ”

"Hit Wu County, Lord Sima has led 5,000 water troops to Wu County yesterday to block the White Turban Army, and the Chushui River is going upstream, and it should be possible to reach Wu County in less than two days." Lao Zao replied, not hiding much.

"There are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Donghai County does not have 10,000 troops, only half of them are divided against the 100,000 troops of the White Turban Army." I wondered, no wonder the eldest prince needs to recruit and train troops, the number of troops is indeed seriously insufficient, after this chaos, Donghai County will definitely expand its army.

"For the time being, there are only so many troops to meet the enemy, if you want to exterminate the White Turban Rebellion, the troops of Donghai County are far from enough, and the king has to send troops to encircle and suppress, or borrow troops from other counties." Lao Zao analyzed that the people sent by the eldest prince to Langshan County have been gone for three days, and I don't know if they have returned, and whether they have brought back good news or bad news.

"Have you borrowed troops from other counties?" I asked with concern.

"I've already asked for help from Wolf Mountain County, so I don't know if the Taishou of Wolf Mountain County will send troops." Lao Zao couldn't have predicted those things, he didn't know that nephew well enough, and he didn't have the mind to be able to strategize.

And his brother-in-law is still here, but he no longer manages the political affairs of Donghai County, and his brother-in-law still has a few brushes, otherwise he will not sit firmly in the position of Taishou County, and he is still very prestigious in the minds of Donghai people.

Wolf Mountain County borders the Tianhu Country, and the garrison has tens of thousands of troops, although there has been no war and friction with the Tianhu Country over the years, but it is impossible not to be vigilant, therefore, the possibility of sending troops to rescue Donghai County is extremely small, maybe the Tianhu Country heard that the White Turban Army of Donghai County rebelled, but instead took advantage of the chaos to go south, and maybe a piece of the pie would be a big change.

It's just that the news of the White Turban Army's uprising can reach the Tianhu Kingdom in time, what strategic decision will the Tianhu Kingdom make after hearing this exciting news, once the Tianhu Kingdom sends troops south, it will provoke a war dispute between the Dragon Kingdom and the Tianhu Kingdom, this is not a trivial matter, it must be carefully considered.

Unless those emperors sitting on the golden throne are hot-headed, reckless militants, it is not impossible to send troops hastily, those tigers who grew up in the glorious and rich garden of the royal capital have to go through practical training to determine whether they are smart or stupid, among the emperors of the past dynasties, there is no shortage of stupid fools, a little luckier can enjoy the peaceful and prosperous world, and after eight lifetimes of blood and bad luck, maybe he will start to lose the hat of the golden throne from his head.

The last emperor of the Fire Moon was the stupid fool, whose stupid crimes were too numerous to mention, and after generations of memories, he did not bother to mention his stupidity, lest he be ridiculed and ridiculed.

I have to say that the eldest prince is still very intelligent, able to find problems and solve them in a timely manner, since the eldest prince has wisdom, it depends on his fortune geometry, most of the characters like this are still involved in fate, there are always some things that need to be explained clearly by fate, otherwise, it is always mysterious and unpredictable.

"What kind of person is your Martian general flag, this time you go to see the eldest prince, but you have to be careful to speak, the eldest prince is a character who will inherit the position of Taishou in the future, there are always some special preferences, there are some things that should be said, and don't say what should not be said." Lao Zao was reminding me to let me click on the Martian flag, he felt that the Martian flag was too straightforward and didn't know how to do things smoothly.

"Don't worry about this, I will remind the general flag, but when the time comes, please ask the envoy to say a few beautiful words, and help you speak, and you will not forget your great kindness when the time comes." I said in an approximate way.

"I can't speak, my nephew is shrewd and capable, he has his own opinions." Lao Zao said proudly, people like to listen to flattery, listening to inexplicably comfortable and proud.

It turns out that the eldest prince is still his nephew, and they are still blood relatives, so I feel that I have to make friends even more, as the so-called someone in the court is easy to do, but I don't know if he is greedy enough, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run.

Back to the camp, dinner has begun, according to my instructions, the wild boar that Huo Gaoling hunted in Wutu Mountain was cooked, used to entertain Lao Jujube, and there was food, but unfortunately there was no wine, and there was wine to be happy, especially in this desolate and uninhabited Jidongguan, which needed wine to regulate the boring life.

Although it is easy to make mistakes with wine, sometimes drinking alcohol is not a big deal, such as celebration banquets, ceremonies or something, newlyweds, are all good days worth celebrating, how can there be no wine to help the fun, it is really a big scenery, not very embarrassing.

Lao Zao also felt very regretful, and immediately promised to come again next time, he must bring wine and food, as well as beauties, and can't do without beauties singing and dancing, which is also indispensable.

The gate of Donghae County Castle is 12 meters high, and the neat and sturdy brick walls extend to the north and south ends, and the majesty and straightness are like a big mountain lying here, which makes people have insurmountable thoughts, I stood in front of the moat under the city gate, and saw such a real city wall for the first time, and my heart was shocked.

The sergeant who held a spear and spear saw that it was the order of the county envoy, and hurriedly came to greet respectfully, while beckoning the sergeant to quickly put down the drawbridge.

It is said that the ancient city walls were made of rammed earth, and thatch was mixed with steel to enhance the firmness, and it was built entirely by manpower, and a city was surrounded by walls on all sides, and one side was often several miles away, so you can imagine how much manpower and how long it took to build.

I wanted to build a city of my own, a sturdy wall like this, so high, so wide, even higher and wider, I thought to myself as I walked through the arched gates.

Donghai County is obviously more prosperous than Hailing County, the wide street can accommodate eight carriages at the same time, and the shops on both sides of the street are relatively high-end, whether it is from the decoration, or the construction technology, they are very exquisite, and it should be from the hands of professional masters.

From time to time in the streets, there are lathes made of precious wood used to carry people to the carriage, there is no canopy, it is still open, you can clearly see the expensive clothes and accessories of the guests on the carriage, as well as the arrogant expressions of the nobles on the carriage, of course, there are indispensable rich ladies with bare necks and breasts like snowflakes, which made me look at it several times.

The other wagons were used to transport goods, mostly grain, and it was impossible to tell whether they were brought from afar or purchased from the surrounding places. The civilians walking on the street were no worse dressed than Mars, but Mars had deliberately changed into a red silk robe that he had brought from the royal capital, and the clothes were also brand new satin brocade robes, and although the boots were old, they were clean.

I and the Martian general flag are horses riding in a Laubora carriage, and they don't look shabby. The civilians saw that it was the carriage of the county envoy with the men and horses, they gave way one after another, and stopped to watch, and I looked at the faces of the pedestrians on the side of the road, very happy and satisfied, and their bodies were rich and healthy, not losing the true character of a county commoner.
