607 - Change in the West
It turned out that the Western Frontier had always been the world of the Thirteen Rong tribes, controlled by Nurhari.
However, more than ten years ago, a tribe called Xiqiang under the control of Thirteen Rong became independent, and their leader Yu Mo set himself up as the king, as the king of the western realm, Nurhari naturally could not allow other kings to appear in the western realm, so he led troops to encircle and suppress.
It stands to reason that Nurhari is not only a master of the Heavenly Ranks, but also the king of the Western Realm, and it is certainly not a problem to solve a small Xiqiang.
It's just that who knows, the king of Qiang is depressed, and he didn't give it for nothing.
What's wrong with you Nurhari being a master of the heavenly list, and so is Yu Mo.
Moreover, Nurhari ranked ninth on the heavenly list, Yu Zhumo ranked eighth, and in terms of combat effectiveness, Nurhari was not an opponent.
However, Nurhari has a large number of generals, relying on his power, and he is still out of breath when he is depressed.
But that's all there is to it, Nurhari can only suppress Xiqiang, and wants to eat Xiqiang in one go, but he doesn't have that ability yet.
There is no depression, Xiqiang can finally barely survive in the west and recuperate.
This situation has been going on for more than a decade.
However, the sky is unpredictable.
In the first half of this year, in May, Nurhari suddenly raised his sword and attacked Xiqiang in an all-out way.
Originally, Yu Yumo thought that Nurhari would fight a few games as usual, and after winning the victory, he would give up.
But I didn't expect that Nurhari's fight was completely aimed at exterminating the Xiqiang.
Yu did not dare to slack off, and led the whole clan to resist.
As we all know, Nurhari is not Yu Mo's opponent, and with the appearance of Yu Mo, Xiqiang has gradually reversed the situation.
It was at this time that the situation changed abruptly.
Huhu, who failed to attack Daxing City and was intercepted and killed on the Anur Road, appeared in Nurhari's camp.
Moreover, in the palace of Nurhari, Hu Hu used precious medicinal materials to heal his injuries, and as soon as he came forward, he wounded Yu Mo, and led the thirteen Rong troops to launch an all-round attack on Xiqiang.
For a month, Xiqiang fled from place to place, panicking like a lost dog and embarrassed like a fish that had slipped through the net.
It's okay if this happens, because Nurhari is so happy, and seeing Yu Yumo so miserable, most of them will stop and save it for the next time when they are in a bad mood.
However, who would have thought that Huhu, who was taken over by Nurhari at the beginning, had a crooked mind, and at a banquet, he killed Nurhari and his cronies, and rushed into the palace and brutally killed Nurhari's clan, queen, prince and son.
In this purge, Hu Hu killed no less than 30,000 innocent people, which completely caused a big reshuffle for Thirteen Rong.
In the blink of an eye, Hu Hu sat on the uncrowned king of the thirteen Rong in the west.
After becoming the king of the Thirteen Rong, Hu Hu did not stop, while exterminating the Thirteen Rong tribes who had opposition to him, and at the same time waved troops to suppress the Xiqiang tribe who were as miserable as roadside beggars.
Yu Zhu Mo really couldn't hold it anymore, so he let his son Yu Ling, secretly enter Yongliang, and find Yongliang Thorn Shi for help.
Yongliang Thorn Shi was a civil official, and he didn't dare to decide such a major matter, so he hurriedly sent someone to send Yu Zhi to Daxing City and handed it over to the empress to decide.
When the empress heard what had happened, she felt that it was not a trivial matter, and she happened to receive news that Wang Xiaolai's peace talks were successful, so she wrote down an urgent recall order of 100,000 yuan, asking Wang Xiaolai to return to Beijing to discuss major matters.
As soon as the cause and effect of the matter were clearly explained, Wang Xiaolai suddenly felt that his head was a lot bigger.
He rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect this Hu Hu to be dead." ”
The empress snorted, and said with a gloomy face: "Not only did she not die, but she also became the uncrowned king of the Western Realm." ”
Wang Xiaolai looked back at the empress: "Then what does Your Majesty plan to do?" ”
The empress took a deep breath: "Help." ”
The help that the empress said was naturally a favor for Yu Mo.
Wang Xiaolai didn't think it was strange, because of Hu Hu's relationship, Zhao Liwen died of exhaustion, and the empress has always respected Zhao Liwen very much, and usually takes Zhao Liwen as an elder, but now that she has learned Hu Hu's whereabouts, how can the empress give up easily.
Wang Xiaolai nodded immediately: "Well, I know Your Majesty." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the interpreter who was standing behind Yu and said, "Please tell him, tell him that his majesty has decided to help his father." ”
That translator is just a bachelor in the Ministry of Rites, and now he was called to be a translator, and he was already very nervous, after all, he was in front of the empress and a kind of court official, how could he not be nervous.
Moreover, I saw Wang Xiaolai, the temple giant who is currently in the limelight in Suiyang, and naturally felt that there was some difficulty breathing.
Hearing Wang Xiaolai's order, his breathing became short: "Yes, yes~~~"
When the words fell, I felt annoyed, annoyed with myself.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaolai didn't care.
So, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said gloomily: "Your Majesty and the general have promised to help you, don't thank you soon." ”
Yu poured down and knelt down towards Wang Xiaolai and the empress, her head was pounded like pounding garlic, and Wang Xiaolai, who was whining in her mouth, couldn't understand it, but looking at the empress's expression, it was obvious that she understood.
Then, the empress also opened her mouth to say a Qiang language, and then waved her hand, letting people take the depression down.
Facing Wang Xiaolai's puzzled gaze, the empress smiled and said, "I asked people to settle him in the post house for the time being, and when we discuss the expedition here, we will act together." ”
Wang Xiaolai sighed and nodded.
"Your Majesty, it is not a trivial matter to move troops, now, the war in the north has just been calmed down, and the four seas have returned to peace.
At this time, Lu Yiping stood up and said.
The empress looked at him, and Fan Lin also stood up and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Xiqiang is just a barbarian after all, so it is better to let them fight with Huhu, and when both sides are defeated, we will reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”
Saying that, the two of them also secretly gave Wang Xiaolai a look, which meant that they were saying that you should give something to persuade Your Majesty.
However, how did they know that Wang Xiaolai was on the side of the empress in this matter.
After all, Hu Hu, the culprit who killed Zhao Liwen, is in the west, and the empress cannot and will not let him go.
"You two, there's one thing I need to warn you of." Wang Xiaolai said.
Fan Lu and the others were stunned: "What? ”
Wang Xiaolai said: "The premise of losing both sides is that the strength of the two sides is almost the same, but compared with Xiqiang and Huhu, one in the sky and one underground, how can they lose both?" ”
Lu Yiping was the head of the household, and he said anxiously at the time: "But Suiyang is in turmoil, if you raise swords again, it is likely that you will not be able to bear it, and what the people need now is to cultivate and recuperate." ”
What Lu Yiping said is not unreasonable, after all, when fighting a war, it is logistics.
Sui Yang has suffered turmoil one after another, and the treasury has long been empty, and the Zhao Sui property that Wang Xiaolai brought back from Wucheng was used to reward and then replenish it to various places to appease the victims of the war, and there was not much left, otherwise, the empress would not have thought of peace talks with the grassland.
If you still think about fighting in this situation, it is no different from looking for death.
At the moment, Wang Xiaolai pursed his lips: "I understand what Brother Lu said, but compared to solving the insect that has been parasitic on Sui Yang in the Western Realm, this opportunity is very rare." ”
Lu Yiping also wanted to say, but Wang Xiaolai blocked him with words: "Hu Hu killed the throne of the main family as a guest, and because of Hu Hu's strength, the patriarchs of the Thirteen Rong had no choice but not to bow their heads. However, if we send troops at this time, those people will definitely not do their best to help in order to avenge Nurhari, as long as our soldiers and horses arrive, it will be easy to solve Huhu and pacify the western border. ”
Wang Xiao's reasoning Lu Yiping understands, but the key is that Sui Yang can no longer afford the financial pressure brought by the war.
"Brother Lu is worried, and I also know that Sui Yang can't use swords anymore, so this time, only a small number of elites need to move westward, not more, 30,000 is enough." Wang Xiaolai said.
"Even if it is 30,000 soldiers and horses, the consumption is a bit big for Sui Yang." Lu Yiping frowned,
Wang Xiaolai said: "Isn't there still Yu Mo, the matter of food consumption has been handed over to him, and we can clearly inform Yu Mo, this is the condition for us to send troops." ”
