Chapter 213: Murwei
Green Ridge Pass, is the grassland barbarians rely on to block the barbarians in their eyes of the barbarian Murwei people a dangerous pass, the Murwei people and the grassland barbarians lost in the war for the grassland hundreds of years ago, was driven to this poor mountain and bad water, that tragic extreme, for the survival space and desperately fought for the two nationalities are heavy casualties, the Murwei people are defeated, but the barbarians are also unable to kill them all, so they build a city in the Green Ridge, in order to resist the counterattack of the Murwei people.
If any of the generals of Great Chu saw this dangerous city in the eyes of the Murwei people, a city that could not be broken for hundreds of years, he would definitely fall to the ground with laughter on the spot, even if the grassland barbarians have been reinforcing it for hundreds of years, especially in the Bayar period, it has been renovated, but he is still not worth it in the eyes of the Great Chu people who are accustomed to seeing the dangerous city.
The people of Murowei and the barbarians in general, are advocating field warfare, and immediately decide the winner, and for the defense of the city and siege, they are basically laymen, the barbarians in the battle with the Great Chu for many years, finally learned some shallow knowledge of defending the city, is to rely on these skills to defend the city, they firmly locked the road of the Murowei people eastward.
In order to survive, the tribes of Murwei not only united to attack the Green Ridge Pass in hundreds of years, but also launched the weak and strong within themselves, killing each other, after hundreds of years of survival of the fittest, there are only three relatively large tribes left in the Murwei. The Mengwu tribe, the Luotan tribe, the Datan tribe, these three tribes, especially the Mengwu tribe is the most powerful, the strength is almost above the Luotan and Datan combined, and the grassland barbarians appeared a Bayar, the Murwei people also appeared in this generation of a wise tribal leader, the old king of the Mengwu tribe, after decades of struggle, he unified the Murwei together, formed a powerful regime, forced the Bayar to send the wolf Ben army to the Green Ridge Pass to resist the fierce attack of the Murwei people.
But it is a pity that the day is not a holiday, this wise old king died suddenly and mysteriously, and the throne of the unending Murwei regime left behind has become a delicacy in the eyes of his sons, and everyone wants to sit on the throne inlaid with gold and jade. Whoever takes the position of the beggar of the Mughal tribe (the leader of the Murowei people is called) will become the king of the entire Murowei people, and the beggar of the Luotan and Datan tribes has made it clear that they will remain neutral in the battle of several heirs, and whoever sits in the position of the Mughal beggar Moluga will be respectful. This intensified the feud between the heirs.
When Mingyan and his retinue set foot on this land, the battle was already white-hot, and after several weak people withdrew one after another, everyone's eyes fell on the last two contenders, Lao Wang's eldest son Zarantu and Lao Si Tienig.
When Mingyan saw the living conditions of the Murwei people, she couldn't help but be a little stunned, she was born in the wealthy Dachu, and she never thought that there would be such a poor and backward place. This is still the most primitive species of people who live on nomadism and nomadism, because of the small area they are in, they have also developed some other ways of survival to make up for the lack of nomadism and nomadism, and the sea allows them to start fishing, the boat is the kind of thing that can barely be called a fishing boat made of the whole wood hollowed out of the center, and seeing those Murowei people rowing this kind of boat out to sea to fish, it makes Ming Yan worry that a wave will sink them forever at the bottom of the sea. There is also some agricultural cultivation, mainly millet and wheat. But due to a severe lack of iron tools, their cultivation was still at a very primitive stage. Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but be very worried, can such an extremely backward nation have any help to the great cause of Dashuai to pacify the barbarians of the grassland?
Deng Peng's large ships could not dock here, because the Murowei people did not need to build such a large dock for the ships to dock, and there would always be some ships here every year to trade with the Murowei people, bringing salt, grain, especially iron tools, which the Murowei people desperately needed, in exchange for the skins of some precious animals brought by the Murowei people, pearls fished from the sea, and so on.
Whenever a ship arrived, it was always the time when the Murowei people were most happy, because it was a great pleasure for both sides to bring what they desperately lacked, while the other wanted what they did not need at all.
Several small boats were put down on the big ship one after another, constantly transporting things to the shore, and today, the Murowei people on the seaside seem to be very disciplined, because their noble prince, the fourth son of the old king, Tienig, condescended to the sea and went to the beach in person, which also made the ordinary Murowei people very strange, in previous years, these transactions had never let such a level of nobles come, and the Murowei people who were lying on the ground secretly watched the boats transport a mouthful of boxes and heavily armed guards to the shore, and the people who finally went ashore made their eyes shine, It was a woman who was dressed gracefully and beautifully.
Seeing this woman, Tinig's eyes also lit up, and he walked up quickly, touched his chest with his left hand, bent down and said, "Honorable guest of the Heavenly Empire, Muwei Tinig welcomes you here. ”
Mingyan bowed slightly, "Venerable Prince Tienig, Mingyan, a woman in distress in Great Chu, is here to ask for your protection, please don't refuse a request from a weak woman!" ”
Tenig straightened up, his eyes glinting with joy, "It's my obligation, Princess Tea, Tenig has prepared the best house, the most comfortable bed, and the most delicious meal for you, enough to relieve the fatigue of the long journey." ”
Seeing the eldest prince Tienig greet this mysterious woman with the most noble courtesy, the people of Murowei by the sea were surprised, and they all guessed the identity of this mysterious woman, looking at her dress, looking at the well-made Kai armor worn by his guards, and the well-made waist knives he carried, these things, even if they were Murowei nobles, they may not be able to have them, and these things that are status symbols in the eyes of the Murowei people are actually casually worn on the body of this woman's guard, which shows that this woman's identity must be extremely valuable. And the prince once called him a princess, could it be the princess of the distant Heavenly Empire?
The identity designed by the Statistical Survey Department for Mingyan is a former princess of Dachu, whose grandparents were killed for attempting rebellion, leaving only an orphan girl like her to escape under the protection of the loyal guard, and later the orphan girl grew up and received the help of a certain important minister of the Great Chu frontier, so she was able to take refuge in Xidu Murowei, of course, this frontier minister is Li Qing, the marshal of Dingzhou.
Of course, Tienig knows that Li Qing, who has become famous in the past two years, is a young man who is not much younger than himself, in less than two years, he has successively defeated the Barbarians, the biggest enemy of the Murowei people, in line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is his friend, Tienig has preconceived Li Qing as a potential ally, and it is a trivial matter to protect this princess, if he can get in touch with Li Qing and get help from there, it will be a great deal for himself, Just by looking at Li Qingneng's unwitting use of the water master to send a prisoner here, you can know that his energy can send people, and of course he can also send other things. Looking at the sophisticated equipment of the princess in distress, Tenig felt an itch in his heart.
The location of the Mengwu tribe is a narrow basin between two mountains, hundreds of miles of square garden, is the most fertile land in the territory occupied by the Murwei people, and the agricultural production can basically meet the usual needs of the Mengwu tribe, which is also the fundamental reason why the strength of the Mengwu tribe far exceeds the other two, and it can easily fill the stomach, so naturally there is energy to do more other things.
Tinig's so-called most comfortable house was just a house made of boulders, with simple furniture and the most primitive decorations. But the precious hides on the chairs, on the beds, and on the floor, showed that Tenig was indeed trying to attract the so-called princess.
It only took a short time for Tenig to believe that the princess in distress could bring him great help, and through Deng Peng's sailors, Li Qing successively provided Tienig with a number of weapons and bows and arrows that had been eliminated from Dingzhou, and these weapons played a major role in defeating several competitors for Teniger, and when some of his brothers were still using horned bows and bone arrows, Teniger's guards were equipped with iron armor, iron bows, and all iron weapons, and he easily defeated several competitors, so as to face the most powerful brother Zarantu.
Zarantu has the strongest strength of the Mengwu tribe, and several competitors who were defeated by Tienig have also thrown themselves under Zarantu's command, which makes Tienig's son sad, the current Mengwu tribe, Zarantu has two-thirds of the strength, and Tienig can barely account for one-third.
Several successive battles ended in the defeat of Tienig, and seeing that the overall situation was about to be decided, Luotan and Datan's intention to support Zarantu was obvious, which made Tienig extremely anxious, and the number of times he ran to Mingyan was also divided into field work, Tienig knew that his brothers would be contained if the eldest brother surrendered, and even if he surrendered, it was impossible for the eldest brother to let him go, if he could not win, he would only be a dead end.
"Don't worry! Prince Tinig, all we need now is time, use all you can, delay as much time as possible, the longer the time, the better it will be for us, I have already sent a request for support to Marshal Li Qing, I think, it won't be long before you will see the elite Great Chu soldiers Xidu Murowei, these well-equipped soldiers will gather under your command and kill your enemies completely! Mingyan comforted Tienig softly, in fact, in Mingyan's heart, she was also very anxious, through the intelligence system of the Statistical Survey Department, she also learned the news of Dingzhou's failure in Baishan Mountain, she was not sure, in this case, Dingzhou could still send troops to Xidu Murowei.
But her doubts vanished after the New Year, and the people from Dingzhou clearly told Mingyan that the vanguard of Dingzhou would arrive in the Murowei controlled area in April, which made Mingyan breathe a sigh of relief and made Tenige even more ecstatic.
