Chapter 174 Contend

"The Khitan Ministry is preparing to unite with the Tianyuan Department to attack my Dadan Royal Court, the war crisis is imminent, but the Khan and the crown prince don't believe this news, what can you do?"

After briefly relaying his conversation with Zhao Ning with a few henchmen, Batu had a solemn face and asked directly.

Hearing Batu's account, everyone's expressions changed drastically, some people believed it, and they couldn't help but be frightened, and scolded the Tianyuan Department and the Khitan Department for not being the sons of men; some people were suspicious of their beliefs, so they did not speak recklessly.

There are those who think they are smart, so they think that this is because of Xiao Yan's troublemaking in Daqi, and he wants to send troops to conquer the Tianyuan Department, and he wants to let the Dadan Department send troops to be a vanguard, and Batu is trying to use this opportunity to strengthen himself.

Since they are Batu's confidants, they naturally think from Batu's standpoint, and put Batu's interests first in everything - this is also their interest.

"It is imperative to convince the Khan that war is about to break out, and that we will not be able to do anything if the Khan does not order the sending of troops. "A steady old magnate.

"How do you convince the Khan?" asked Batu immediately.

"The so-called partiality is dark, and listening is clear...... I mean, the Khan didn't believe the news because it was just General Zhao's words.

"And General Zhao is an outsider after all, and the Khan is wary of him and distrusts him. But if we can corroborate this news and let the Dadanbu himself provide a basis, then the Khan will believe it. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Batu couldn't help but be overjoyed, "How to corroborate it, and who will corroborate it?"

The old magnate stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word, looking elegant and calm every time there was a major event, showing his great wisdom in his hands.

In an instant, seeing Batu glaring at him dissatisfied, his gaze was pressing, and he hurriedly coughed and put away this style of a Qi doctor.

He said: "It's not a secret, in the past two days, there have been several caravans that have returned from the Khitan Department, all of which are saying that the Khitan Department is secretly mobilizing troops and horses, as if they are preparing for a big war, but they don't know who to attack."

"Now it seems that the reason why the Khitan is preparing for war is against us!"

Batu was stunned. This is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, there is such a coincidence in the world? It's like the god of Kunlun is helping him!

But after thinking about it, if the Khitan Department is really preparing for war, then it is natural for this situation to appear.

The strange thing is that if the Khitan Department is really secretly preparing for war, how can these merchants find out? They are not spies, so they should not have that kind of vision.

But the pillow was already in front of him, and Batu didn't have the heart to delve into it, so it was in his favor.

The old magnate continued: "The caravan told the officials the news two days ago.

"However, when I received a report from the people below, I thought it was nonsense, so I didn't report it to the Khan. Now it seems that it is time for these businessmen to come forward and talk to the Khan about this matter!"

The official position of this old magnate in the Dadan royal court is equivalent to Jing Zhaoyin of Daqi, Batu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hit the festival hard, "What are you waiting for, do it immediately!"

"Contact more big businessmen and let them go to the Khan together!

Prince Dadan stayed with Zhao Ning for a long time, talked very well, and finally invited Zhao Ning to be a guest at his place, saying that he would entertain Zhao Ning well, and vaguely said that he had a lot of stunning beauties there.

Although he didn't believe Zhao Ning's news, he didn't think that there was a war in the grassland, and he wouldn't help Zhao Ning do anything, but he, the future khan of the Dadan Tribe, had absolutely no reason to offend the first person in the future military of Daqi.

Try to have a good relationship with Zhao Ning, it is very necessary for him.

Considering that the purpose of Zhao Ning's trip could not be achieved, he was bound to have a grudge, and Prince Dadan had even thought about how many cars and treasures he would give Zhao Ning in the future to dispel the dissatisfaction in the other party's heart.

Even if Zhao Ning fell in love with his own sister, the princess who greeted him, Prince Dadan would not hesitate and did his best to match this matter.

Just when Prince Dadan and Zhao Ning were out of the account together, an order came from the king's tent, asking him to hurry over, there was something important.

There was no way, Prince Dadan could only say goodbye to Zhao Ning, saying that he would invite him to the banquet later, and confess his guilt.

Zhao Ning knew what he was doing, of course, it didn't hurt to be generous.

Zhao Xun stood beside Zhao Ning with his hands folded, looked at the back of Prince Dadan in a hurry, and said to Zhao Ning suspiciously:

"Although Brother Ning'er's flickering technique is very good, but Batu will really push this matter exactly as you expected?"

Zhao Ning smiled and said indifferently: "For smart people, flickering can make them get on the ground for a while at most, and what really works is the next arrangement." ”

Zhao Xun suddenly said, "Paradigm Na Nizi has already made arrangements?"

Zhao Ning has nothing to hide from Zhao Xun, "She bribed a few businessmen from the Dadan Department and asked them to bring back the news of the Khitan Department's preparations for war a few days ago. ”

"I see. Zhao Xun didn't ask any more. Businessmen are profit-oriented, and there are few businessmen in the world who can't be impressed by money, if there is, it is not enough money.

The two stood for a while, Zhao Xun looked left and right, and suddenly said strangely: "Where did Yang's Nizi go? I haven't seen her since yesterday's dinner, nothing will happen, right?"

"Oh, she said that she finally came to the royal court, and she wanted to find a few grassland warriors to have a fight, see their combat skills, and sharpen their cultivation. Zhao Ninghun didn't care.

In his opinion, Yang Jiani is obviously too energetic and can't be idle at all.

"It also makes sense, after all, she eats a lot. He was so angry that there was a loud bang not far from the tent.

Immediately after that, the smoke and dust rose, and in a short time, one after another, the warriors of the Dadan tribe, who were as majestic as oxen, were thrown into the air, dancing and falling, and screaming miserably.

The two looked at each other, and before they could decide whether to go over and have a look, they saw one by one the richly dressed and well-cultivated Dadan powerhouses running out from there, using their hands and feet together, and the panicked rabbits were rabbits.

They ran and shouted things like "admit defeat" and "bow down", but most of them were in the grassland language. And Yang Jiani was dragging Zhang Ermo's knife, persistently chasing them behind.

The scene was enthusiastic.

Zhao Xun's face was a little stiff, "These are all Yuan Shen Realm cultivators, and there is no shortage of Yuan Shen Realm middle stage, Yang Clan's Nizi is too strong, right?"

Zhao Ning said twice, and turned around to enter the account quickly.

Yang Jiani is obviously red-eyed, but it is not good for the other party to see herself.

King's Tent.

Sitting on the palatial throne, Dadan Khan was like an angry tiger at this moment, with all his beard and hair, his face full of evil spirit, and his eyes were gloomy and terrifying.

It's nothing more than a fat tiger sitting down.

The merchants kneeling on the ground in the tent trembled and did not even dare to raise their heads.

The young evil king Batu couldn't hide the pride, excitement and hope between his eyebrows, like a general who was about to go to battle.

And Prince Dadan, who is not yet middle-aged, has a big belly and a tepid temperament, but his brows are tightly locked.

"Great Khan, the Khitan Department is already preparing for war, which shows that General Zhao's news is true! If we don't immediately order troops to deal with it, we are afraid that the matter will come to an end, and we will only be passively beaten!"

Batu desperately hopes that the war will break out soon, and hopes that the Dadan Department will send troops to cooperate with the Qi army to sweep the grassland, "Please give the order of the Great Khan, let us immediately mobilize troops and horses and take the initiative to attack!"

Prince Dadan glanced at Batu.

Admittedly, the other party's words are very reasonable.

But they are opposites.

Therefore, if the other party agrees, he must oppose it.

Right or wrong.

"Great Khan, mobilizing a large army to the border is a major matter, and it cannot be taken lightly, otherwise even if the Khitan Department does not plan to attack us, it will have to raise troops. ”

Prince Dadan spoke slowly, and his words were straightforward, as if every word was full of truth, "We should send an envoy to the Khitan Department first, ask them why they mobilized troops and horses, and then send more spies to investigate." ”

Hearing this, Batu's face flushed with anger, "The other party has obviously been planning for a long time, and if we don't respond immediately, we just send envoys and reconnaissance, isn't this just a waste of delaying the fighter plane and giving the other party time?!"

As he spoke, he saluted Dadan Khan and asked for his life to fight.

Dadan Khan scolded irritably: "Okay, don't fight!"

He knew Batu very well, knowing that the other party was interested in the position of the crown prince and wanted to establish military achievements to strengthen himself, and at the same time, he also knew the crown prince, and knew that the other party was doing everything to protect his own position and suppress the evil king.

Therefore, he could not listen to all the words of these two men.

The crown prince was set up by him, and of course he hoped that the other party would succeed to the throne. But that had to be after he died. While he was still alive, he had to control power until the last moment, and he couldn't be taken by the crown prince early.

This is also the reason why he supported Batu to fight against the prince.

Without his "love" and support, where can Batu have so many supporters to fight against the prince when the royal court already has a prince?

However, this support must also have a degree, and Batuzhen cannot be allowed to suppress the prince.

In his heart, Batu was impatient, unstable, and did not consider problems comprehensively, and could not lead the royal court.

But it is precisely because Batu is not so outstanding that he chooses to let Batu compete with the crown prince.

If Batu is too capable and can do more than the crown prince, then the result of the two fighting may be evenly matched. The power struggle is too intense and can cause chaos within the royal court.

In addition, when he is about to die, if Batu's power is too great, he may not be able to directly take back Batu's power, and after his death, Batu may even disobey, "rebel", and forcibly seize the throne of the khan. There is no end to the calamities.

This is the reason why Batu is just an ordinary prince, and not one of the left and right kings.

"The crisis of war is a matter of tribal survival, and it cannot be tolerated, but it cannot be acted upon lightly. There is no need to send an envoy to the Khitan Ministry, you have to send a person with a keen eye and can take on a big role to quickly investigate this matter. ”

Dadan Khan said, his eyes searching back and forth between the prince and the evil king.

"Great Khan, I'm willing to go!" Batu hurriedly bowed down and asked for his life. Although Dadan Khan's reaction did not match his expectations, now that he must fight for this errand and seize the initiative.

As soon as Prince Dadan saw that Batu had asked for his life, he naturally couldn't lag behind, "Great Khan, let's go!"

Although he felt that he was a prince and that it was very worthless to do this kind of toiling work, he could not let Batu succeed. As an opponent, he must grab whatever the other party wants to do.

If Batu finds out about this, then once the war really breaks out, the other side may take advantage of the situation to lead the army to fight, and as a person who does not believe in the crisis of war, it will be difficult for him to compete with the other side in terms of reason.

Of course, Dadan Khan will not let Batu go, even if the Khitan Ministry is not prepared for war, with Batu's position, he will say that the Khitan Ministry is going to fight.

Dadan Khan groaned for a while, made a show, and said, "It's better for the prince to go to this matter." Remember, the overall situation of the royal court is at stake, and we must find out the facts, and we must not be negligent, and we must not let the clan fall into a crisis!"

The prince was overjoyed, "The minister receives the order!"

Batu couldn't help but be disappointed, and his heart turned over for a while, with monstrous anger and anger.

"Why let the prince go, he obviously didn't believe in this before!"

He wanted to refute, but Dadan Khan had already made up his mind, and he knew that no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain, and if he talked too much, it might even cause Dadan Khan's dissatisfaction.

This is not the first time he has encountered such a situation.

"It's all sons, and the father is so eccentric!"

Batu lowered his head, did not let Dadan Khan and the prince see the hatred in his eyes, and secretly scolded: "This bastard prince has no knowledge, he is a rice bucket, which point am I not better than him?"

"Why is his father so kind to him?!"
