Chapter VII. What is a hero?
The negotiations for this day and afternoon are getting smoother and smoother. γNo Pop-up Novel NetworkγTuo Xiao Mo is expected to be a blessing field, and the corpses of the insects in the state are expected, so all the civil and military officials in Shangwu City are in the same mood as Wang Han for a few days, and they have changed from incomprehension to extreme admiration for what Xiao Mo did before to create such a good situation.
So after hearing Xiao Mo's summons. Although Wang Han was the main force in Shangwucheng at this time, the officials did not dare to slack off, and they all left the affairs at hand and rushed to the Taishou Mansion as soon as possible to wait for the summons.
Under Deng Shangquan's bow, a group of officials came to the study, and saw that Xiao Mo and the dynasty were all solemn in the first place, and they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts. Lord Xiao, please ask why the two officials came here. β
Wang Han snorted lightly, looked gloomy, handed over Zhang Yansheng's letter, and said slowly, You read it to the public. β
Liu Xingzhi was slightly stunned and hurriedly took the letter. First, he read it quickly on his own, and then he suddenly appeared happy, and then read the contents of the letter aloud to other civil and military officials.
After learning that the Eight Sages were safe and sound, and Zhang Yansheng had gathered tens of thousands of troops and lost land with Beida Chu, and had recovered all the grassland coalition forces, the back roads were cut off, and the foundations of all ethnic groups in the grassland were greatly damaged.
And the reason why the officials have such thoughts. In fact, a big reason is because of Xiao Mo. First, Xiao Mo's past records gave them enough confidence, and second, Xiao Mo pressed step by step between negotiations. And the retreat of the various ethnic groups on the grassland also made them subconsciously have thoughts of contempt in their hearts.
Among them, Cai Da, Zhao Ying and other generals who had been fighting in Shangwucheng for many days looked particularly excited.
God knows, a few months ago, most of these officials were still terrified, and they were willing to pay whatever it took to send the barbarians back to the grassland, and this change of attitude was not insignificant.
It's just that this transformation is not coming at the right time.
Seeing that the officials were about to jointly suggest that the Chu army should defend and turn into an offensive and a peace negotiation, Wang Han snorted coldly, turned his head and slowly looked around at the officials, and after noticing Wang Han's expression, the officials couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, and the discussion suddenly decreased
How. I'm excited to see this. I tell you that if we don't handle it well. I'm about to be in a big disaster."
After all the officials were quiet. Wang Yi said slowly.
Seeing that the officials were puzzled, Xiao Mo secretly shook his head and said, "Colleagues, have you ever thought about how they would react to this news once the grassland tribes learned about it. At that time, my Great Chu and them will inevitably form an endless situation, if they are angry and attack Shangyuan City, it will be enough, there is a privy envoy in charge, with the help of all colleagues, the officials are sure that this grassland people will not get the slightest advantage, but if they bypass Shangwu City and go straight to the hinterland of my Great Chu, then what should it be. I'm sure I'll stop them. What a war they will cause. Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget that there are still 50,000 grassland troops under the capital."
After hearing Xiao Mo's words, all the officials were shocked. I finally realized that behind such great news. All kinds of terrible crises contained in it, for a while, everyone's faces turned pale and cold sweat flowed.
That. So how should we respond to the two adults now? β
An officer asked with forced calm, but his voice was still shaky.
Wang Han snorted coldly and said what can it be. Although there is a crisis now, it is not irretrievable, and it is not impossible if we can cure the problems of all ethnic groups in the northern steppe without much effort. β
Your Excellency, do you mean?"
The officer asked hesitantly, as if vaguely guessing something.
Wang Han explained: We want to block the news from all the tribes in the grassland, end the negotiations as soon as possible without harming their interests, and coax the tribes of the grassland back to the northern grassland, and by that time the Great Wall is in the hands of my Great Chu, even if the grassland barbarians want to take revenge on the tired army, the army is already in turmoil, what can they do to my Great Chu. β
After hearing Wang Han's strategy, the eyes of all the officials lit up, and their hearts calmed down a lot.
Only Wang Chao suddenly turned red, turned his head to look at Xiao Mo, but saw that Xiao Mo was calm and calm, just frowning and thinking about something, there was nothing abnormal.
It turned out that Wang Han habitually took the opinions put forward by his subordinates for his own use, but he forgot that although Xiao Mo was his subordinate official, he was by no means comparable to ordinary subordinate officials. The two have more alliances than affiliations.
However, Xiao Mo's mind at this time was all thinking about how to deal with such a situation, and he didn't care too much about Wang Han's actions.
On the other side, Liu Xingzhi heard Wang Han's words. After thinking for a moment, he nodded, and said, What the Lord said is extremely long, as long as we can block the news, everything will be fine after the grassland coalition forces return to the grassland, and the grassland coalition army's foundation has been greatly damaged, and it will not be able to recover its vitality for decades, let alone pose a threat to my Dachu like today. The adults admired the clever strategy. But how exactly to deal with the details. Please show me so. β
At this time, for all kinds of praise. Wang Han felt uncomfortable, and was just about to say this, seeing Xiao Mo next to him, he was thoughtful, but he replied, how to respond to the time, all kinds of details, let Ziji command, compare Since the beginning of the battle of Shangwucheng, all kinds of affairs in the grassland are Zirou's responsibility, and Zirou is more aware of all the circumstances, but it is most appropriate for Zirou to command. β
The reason why Wang Han said it was not because he had just privately occupied Xiao Mo's opinion, but because Wang Xian really felt that Xiao Mo could do better than him at this time.
Although Wang Han is reluctant to admit this.
And after hearing Wang Han's words, Xiao Mo did not shirk. After all, now is not the time to shirk.
Nodding to Wang Han, motioning Xiao Mo to stand up, he said to the officials, My Excellency, after the Privy Council, the Lord and I have discussed the following countermeasures. β
Colleagues in charge of negotiating with the various tribes of the steppe. From today onwards, we can speed up the negotiations, and we can make concessions to the various tribes of the grassland, but we must not make too many concessions, and we must not appear too anxious, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the grassland people and damage the fundamental interests of our Dachu."
Although the Eighth Prince has greatly damaged the foundation of all ethnic groups in the grassland, it is impossible for countless tribes on the grassland to be killed, and it is even more impossible that there is no way to live. I'm afraid that now there are already survivors of the grassland, hurry up and rush to the grassland coalition army to report the news, in view of this, Zhao Ying, you immediately lead the elite cavalry in Shangyuan City to take advantage of the camp of the Xianzhuo clan to go around to the northern grassland coalition army, and then there are scouts and cavalry everywhere to block the news, and no one from the grassland can contact the grassland coalition army."
Immediately send a secret envoy to contact the Eighth Prince and the army led by Zhang Yansheng, so that he can cooperate with us to block the news, I have already told the grassland tribes before, Zhang Yansheng will lead another army to regain the lost territory in the rear of the battlefield... Dump the old talk to end the grassland coalition and return to the grassland! I won't be surprised to see the northern cities and the four peace-shaped frames in our hands, but the people of the steppe savages under the Eight Sages King must return to the grassland immediately, and not let the grassland coalition army see it."
Just as Xiao Mo was constantly issuing various orders to the civil and military officials of Shangwucheng, he didn't know what he was doing, it was already too late.
At this time, a survivor under the command of the eighth prince Tian Zheng had already arrived in the grassland coalition army after two months of trekking, wading, night walking, and diving.
This steppe knight is named Yuji Khitan. It is the Khitan clan after the invasion of the Great Chu left in the grassland, the few elite warriors, two months ago, his tribe was washed by the eighth prince Tian Zheng overnight bloodbath, although he himself was seriously injured, but left his life.
After the injury stabilized a little, he kept looking for the grassland coalition army to report the shocking news on the grassland.
However, because the steppe coalition army was besieging Shangwu City in the middle at this time, the Qiu tribe was in charge of the north. Therefore, Yuji first came into contact with the Khitan tribe where he was located, but the Qiu tribe.
However, as far as he was concerned, it was the same to inform any clan first, and the four major clans involved in the invasion of Chu had suffered serious losses from the women, children, old and weak who remained in the rear under the ravages of Tian Zheng's months.
However, he didn't know that first of all, connecting with the Qiu Clan was the greatest misfortune in his life.
There are more than 1,000 people in our Wolf Wing Tribe, some of them are old people, women and children, and they were killed by the people of the Chu people, and the people of this wild tribe were killed cleanly, Bale Great Khan, you are the biggest hero and the most powerful lion in the grassland, and you have the most and strongest warriors under your command, and the blood feud of my Khitan. You've got to be in charge."
At this moment, Yu Ji had already cried in front of Bale, and had spent a lot of time explaining his tribal and Mu experiences to Bale and the generals of the Qiu tribe one by one, perhaps because the memory was too deep, and because of all the details, how the child was divided, how the old man was trampled to death by countless fast horses, and which woman was humiliated. I remember it clearly, my voice is hoarse and poignant, and it makes people feel sideways.
However, listening to Yuji's cry, all the generals of the Qiu clan in the tent of the Great Khan had no sympathy and pity, and just asked one after another, "Is there any news from my Qiu clan." β
My tribes of the Qiu tribe have also been attacked like this. β
I can know what the situation of my Nine Lords tribe is. β
Seeing that the noble generals of the Qiu clan only cared about themselves. Bei Hao didn't have the idea of avenging the Khitan, Yu Ji's eyes instantly turned cold, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, although he was anxious to leave here to find the Khitan Great Khan Yelu Axiao Ji to report, but he still bowed his head and replied, "Giant, my lords, in the past few months, most of the four major tribes of the grassland and countless tribes have not been spared, and the major tribes under the nobility are probably the same."
Hearing Yuji's words, all the noble leaders of the Qiu Clan first showed disbelief, then panicked, then furious, and finally all turned into madness.
The hideous faces, blood-red eyes, and a terrible roar were like a lone wolf in a desperate situation
The steppe people are by no means ruthless, they are just ruthless when people outside their own tribe.
In the grassland, that kind of poor and hard land, for the compatriots who struggle and work hard with themselves. The feelings between each other are probably more acute than those of the Central Plains.
And now in his bloody battle, the relatives and clansmen in front of him were killed by the Chu people and the wild tribes they had never looked down on in their homeland. What a blow. What a thrill.
Therefore, the steppe people who are as resilient as wolves are crazy.
The Great Khan ordered, let's fight with the people of the Central Plains."
A Qiu nobleman knelt down in front of Bal and said in a sad voice.
For the people of the Central Plains who killed our people, they even lied to us and waited for peace talks, so that we and others suffered such humiliation, and they still paid tribute to them, and called their vassals, such a blood hatred."
Great Khan, we fought with the people of the Central Plains"
The Great Khan ordered, I will immediately capture the Shangyuan City and dedicate the head of Xiao Mo to the Great Khan."
No, we will attack their capital directly. Kill their emperor Lao'er"
The Great Khan ordered, let's turn the whole of Great Chu into scorched earth and avenge the people."
The Great Khan ordered the temporary "
On the other side, after learning of the loss of his Qiu clan, he struck the resolute Bale. His face also turned pale, and for a while, he rarely showed weakness, and sat on the king's chair like this.
After hearing the words of his generals, Bale's eyes gradually became blood-red, and he suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist and pointed the tip of the knife to the sky, wanting to say something.
However, at this moment, Yugi, who had been ignored by everyone, spoke.
Balakhan Lords, I would like to inform our Great Khan of the bad news, and I will take my leave."
For the Qiu clan to only care about their own reaction. Yugi was extremely disappointed, his voice was also extremely cold, and after he finished speaking, he bowed to everyone and wanted to turn around and leave.
However, Yugi's cold words woke Bale from his furious madness.
I saw that after Bale's body was shaken, his bloodshot eyes gradually regained their clarity, and then they became more calm or indifferent than ever.
If a moment ago Bale was a lone wolf who was injured and cornered, then Bale at this moment is a real wolf king
Then he saw Balak slowly stepping down from his throne. Step by step, he walked in front of Yugi. Said softly, you are a resolute warrior, you are so seriously injured, you can still walk through mountains and rivers regardless of the danger, come here to report the news, and I have waited for Ben Khan, thank you. β
No, I don't."
Yugi was just halfway through his words, when he suddenly shook his body, and then looked at Balak incredulously. His eyes were full of anger and puzzlement, and then he fell to the ground.
In his abdomen, black blood that had been barreled into his kidneys by a long knife kept flowing out. I can't live anymore.
Before he died, Yugiyiri pointed at Balak, wondering why he had done this.
Bale, on the other hand, unhurriedly pulled out the sharp knife that had pierced Yugi's body, and quietly met Yugi's poignant eyes before he died. Mu Hao didn't mean to dodge, and said softly, but it's a pity that I can't let you ruin my Qiu clan."
As he spoke, Bale turned his head and looked around at the leaders of the Qiu clan nobles in the tent, and asked in a cold voice What are you talking about. β
Sorry for the late update.
