Chapter 163 The Game (I)

When she arrived at the General's Mansion, Wang Rouhua personally went to cook and cook.

Although she wanted to make a good meal of mutton stew for Zhao Ning in her heart, rewarding him for his hard work in Yanping City for the past year, she still gave Zhao Bei a face, saying that she wanted to entertain Zhao Xun - of course, this is not all false.

Although Wang Rouhua seems to be very fierce to Zhao Beiwang, she actually attaches great importance to Zhao Beiwang's dignity, otherwise the relationship between their husband and wife would not be so harmonious.

Zhao Ning originally wanted to go to the kitchen to help Wang Rouhua, his current cooking skills are also good, and because of the memory of his previous life, he really wanted to accompany each other more.

As soon as he revealed this meaning, he was sent to the main hall by Wang Rouhua's sentence that a husband is like a woman and spends his energy in the kitchen, and asked him to talk more about military affairs with Zhao Beiwang, Zhao Xun and others.

This is better for Zhao Ning.

Because of this, Zhao Ning and others sat in the main hall and exchanged views on the situation of the grassland, the situation of the family, the situation of the civil and military disputes, and so on, and they also had a very lively conversation.

Originally, at Zhao Ning's age, under normal circumstances, he was not qualified to be in the same room with his elders and talk about these major events on an equal footing.

Even if he is an outstanding handsome, he is valued by the elders, and if he is allowed to be present, at most he will stand aside, quietly listen to the exchanges between the elders, and have a long insight, and he must not interject at will.

But Zhao Ning is different.

In the past year, what he has done in Yanping City has completely gotten him rid of his identity as a gentleman, whether it is Zhao Xun or Zhao Beiwang, they all look up to him now, and they are willing to listen to his opinion no matter what.

All in all, if you want people to look at you differently, you have to make corresponding achievements and prove that you have the strength. Otherwise, don't blame the elders for not knowing how to discern pearls.

Zhao Beiwang knows everything that happened in the family, but it was all through letters, and now listening to Zhao Xun's detailed account can he have a deeper understanding of the danger and thrilling.

also better understands what Zhao Ning did and what role he played.

The result of this is that by the time Wang Rouhua finished the meal and everyone was on the table, Zhao Beiwang was no longer drinking a few drinks with Zhao Ning, but planning to get drunk with the other party and have a good time.

Not to mention that Zhao Beiwang acted uninhibitedly and was a man of temperament, after drinking a jar of wine, and listening to Zhao Ning's views on the situation in the court, he laughed heroically, and he had to hook up with Zhao Ning and call him a brother.

Fortunately, he noticed Wang Rouhua's warning eyes, Zhao Beiwang coughed a few times, restrained his dissolute form a little, remembered his father's identity, and regained a bit of majesty.

When Zhao Ning saw this scene, the warm smile on the corner of his mouth never dissipated, and he had to drink a few glasses of wine to keep the tears in his eyes from flowing.

In his previous life, after the change in Daizhou and the fiasco at Yanmen Pass, what he thought about was that the family could be reunited and reunited, and "stay together" in the peaceful years, instead of being separated by yin and yang early, and the living could only pay tribute and reminisce.

so that he doesn't even have the opportunity to be sensible, grow, and filial.

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the child wants to raise but does not wait for the kiss - what could be more sad than that?

Compared with the major events of the dynasty, it is Zhao Ning's greatest wish to be able to maintain the scene in front of him forever.

A family banquet made everyone feel good.

Just when everyone was preparing to get drunk today and arrange the business again tomorrow, the captain on duty in Guancheng sent someone to report that the envoy team of the Tianyuan Royal Court had arrived, and asked Zhao Beiwang if he wanted to switch and let them in.

Now that the business has come, no matter how unfinished everyone is, they can only stop feasting. After inquiring and learning that there was a "king" level in the envoy team of the Tianyuan Royal Court, according to the usual practice, Zhao Beiwang also had to go to Guancheng to have a look.

Wang Rouhua naturally went with Zhao Beiwang, and Zhao Beiwang would be inseparable from her military and political affairs in Yanmen Pass. Of course, Zhao Ning and Zhao Xun would not miss it, and everyone went to Guancheng together.

Looking down from the majestic city to the front of the gate, the envoys of the Tengen Royal Court looked very humble. They were indeed very respectful, like slaves, even though the ranks were so large and the vehicles were so large that there was no end in sight on the mountain road.

Taking the lead was the Tianyuan Imperial Court Right Sage King Chalahan, a powerhouse in the early stage of the Wang Extreme Realm, dressed in a dark blue luxurious robe embroidered with gold trim and a right collar, and the dome conical hat was also inlaid with dazzling jewels, and the noble aura came to his face.

But at this time, in the face of Zhao Beiwang, who was only in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm in the Guancheng, Charahan bent down and saluted, with a smiling face, and humbly reported to his home, explaining his intentions, and asking to enter the customs.

Zhao Beiwang has become accustomed to Chalahan's humility, and obviously has a sense of superiority that Qi people have when facing barbarians. He didn't respond to Chalahan, but said to Zhao Ning and Zhao Xun beside him:

"In the past two months, the Heavenly King Court has sent four groups of envoys to enter Yanmen Pass and go to the capital to make amends to His Majesty.

"According to the will of the imperial court, Yanmen Pass refused and did not let them enter the customs. ”

Zhao Ning is different from those soldiers with contempt and contempt on their faces when the Yanmen is closed, in his eyes, Chalahan's humble performance is just an appearance to confuse Daqi, and even poison.

He knew very well that the current cultivator strength of the Tian Yuan Royal Court.

I also understand that the reason why the envoy team of the Tianyuan Royal Court seems to be so in awe of Daqi is just to deceive Daqi and win them time to prepare for the national war.

So in Zhao Ning's view, Chalahan's flattering smile is like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

After the Beihu committed the crime, the government and the opposition of the Great Qi were shaken, and the officials and the people were angry, especially the generals in the army, who even asked for orders to send troops to destroy the Tianyuan royal court.

In the eyes of the Qi people, all the tribes of the grassland are just weak people who surrender to themselves, and they are also a group of barbarians who drink blood, and the Great Qi looks down on them in their hearts, how can they tolerate being offended by them?

Because of this, the emperor's edict to the Tianyuan royal court was that the Tianyuan Khan must personally enter Beijing to make amends, otherwise, the Tianyuan tribe would have to bear the risk of war!

It's strong, it's tough.

Daqi thinks he has this qualification and strength.

But according to Zhao Ning's memory, Tianyuan Khan should be in the late stage of the Wang Ji Realm by now, and his cultivation is the best in the world, and he is the real number one powerhouse.

But even so, if Tianyuan Khan ventured into the capital of Great Qi, he would never do it. Even if this would eliminate the risk of war and give the Tian Yuan clan time to prepare for the national war.

Zhao Ning knew that under the command of Tianyuan Khan, plus the other two royal courts in the grassland that had been secretly controlled by him and actually conquered, there were already more cultivators in the Wang Extreme Realm than in Great Qi.

But he couldn't all take them all into Daqi.

In that case, it's not about making amends.

Although there are not as many cultivators in the Wang Extreme Realm as in the Great Qi, the number of cultivators in the Yuan Shen Realm is not comparable to that of the Northern Hu, and there are even more cultivators in the Imperial Qi Realm.

In the final analysis, the Central Plains Dynasty has a lot of land and resources, and there are many people, which cannot be compared with the grassland. When the population base is large, there will naturally be more cultivators.

The current Tianyuan Khan is a genius who will not produce a single one in five thousand years on the grassland, and he achieved the Wang Ji Realm before the age of twenty, and he relied on his own improved cultivation techniques to make the strength of the cultivators of the Tianyuan tribe greatly increase.

Therefore, among the 10,000 cultivators of the Tian Yuan Clan, there may be one Wang Ji Realm. And in Daqi, for various reasons, among the 50,000 cultivators, there was not a single powerhouse in the Wang Extreme Realm.

However, no matter how many cultivators there were in the Tian Yuan Clan, the absolute number could not be compared to that of the Great Qi.

This led to the fact that the Tian Yuan tribe was definitely superior to the Great Qi in terms of cultivator strength.

This was also the reason why the Tian Yuan army defeated the Great Qi in the previous life.

But it was only a high-level combat power, and the Tian Yuan tribe had an absolute advantage.

Therefore, in the previous life, Daqi was able to persist in the War of Resistance for ten years.

This depends on the absolute numerical superiority of cultivators.

Zhao Ning understood that the most critical reason why the Tianyuan tribe was unwilling to start a war with Great Qi now was that they were waiting.

Wait for Tianyuan Khan to break through to the realm of heaven and man!

Once the Tianyuan Khan achieves the Heavenly and Human Realm, and then leads twenty or thirty Wang Ji Realm powerhouses to lead the army to start a national war against Daqi, then even if Daqi can use the tactics of crowds and exchange the lives of cultivators for the results of the battle, it will not be able to completely resist the offensive of the Beihu army!

When the war broke out in the previous life, Tianyuan Khan was already in the realm of heaven and man!

And at that time, the Great Qi, not to mention the Heavenly and Human Realm, even had only one in the later stage of the Wang Ji Realm, and it was only achieved a few years after the outbreak of the war.

This person is the Great Qi Emperor Song Zhi.

It's a pity that it can't affect the overall situation.

It is precisely because the Tianyuan Royal Court has not yet been sure of defeating the Great Qi that they did not annex the last big tribe on the grassland to have the royal court before this time, the Dadan Tribe.

On the one hand, this is because the Dadan tribe is strong, unlike other big tribes, disdain the Tianyuan royal court, and does not border with the Tianyuan tribe, and the Tianyuan Khan can only solve the problem by war.

On the other hand, Tianyuan Khan also knew very well that once he exposed his power and unified the grassland, it would cause the vigilance of the Great Qi.

So Tian Yuan Khan is waiting.

However, after Zhao Ning was reborn, relying on his slaves, although the Tianyuan Royal Court did not defeat the Dadan Ministry, there was already a war crisis with Daqi.

This is Xiao Yan's fine work power exposed!

This is something that Tengen Khan never dreamed of.

If it weren't for his absolute confidence in Xiao Yan's ability, how could Tian Yuan Khan let Xiao Yan lurk in Yanping City and do so many things that were easy to expose? Facts also proved that Tian Yuan Khan was not wrong about Xiao Yan.

In her previous life, she did an excellent job.

At present, because of the change in Daizhou and Xiao Yan's matter, Daqi has a full understanding of the wolf ambitions of the Tianyuan Royal Court, and he is extremely dissatisfied. If Emperor Song Zhi wanted to solve the internal affairs first, he had to deal with it.

So he added 30,000 troops to Yanmen Pass.

Tian Yuan Khan himself was unwilling to go to Yanping City of Great Qi to apologize, and at the risk of being attacked and killed by the masters of Great Qi, he could only submit his credentials to Great Qi and make amends in every possible way.

After Daqi's tough attitude and the envoys of the Tianyuan Royal Court were not allowed to enter the Yanmen Pass again and again, the Tianyuan Khan had no choice but to continuously improve the specifications of the team, so that people with more status could lead the team and show a more humble posture.

He was trying to eliminate the possibility of an early outbreak of war between the two.

At the same time, secretly, Tianyuan Khan sent elite spies into the vicinity of Yanmen Pass and Shanhaiguan to inquire whether Daqi had increased its troops at the border pass and whether it was preparing to start a war.

The war waged by Great Qi against the Tianyuan tribe at this time was the greatest scruple and worry of the Tianyuan Khan.

And according to common sense, once he does not meet the requirements of the Great Qi court, Great Qi is very likely to send troops to the Northern Expedition!

After all, Daqi has been peaceful for more than 100 years, and now it has reached an unprecedented peak of prosperity, and on the surface it seems that the national strength is strong, at this time, how can Daqi tolerate being offended and provoked by a mere Tianyuan tribe?

The majesty of the Celestial Empire, to the bottom of it, is maintained by what?

Is it by etiquette, by morality, by reasoning, by reprimand, by articles?

Of course not.

Relying on a strong military.

By war!

The dynasty that does not dare to start a war, what is it called the Celestial Empire?

What should you do if a dog barks at you and rushes over to bite you?

Knock it to death with a stick, of course.

In the eyes of the Qi people, who think highly of themselves, how is the Tianyuan tribe different from a dog?

If the Tian Yuan tribe can't dissipate the anger of the Great Qi, then the Great Qi should start a war and destroy the Tian Yuan tribe!

That's what a great power is.

Regarding these thoughts and mentality of Tianyuan Khan, Zhao Ning looked at the fire.

So what does he want to do and do now?

Very simple.

Four words.

Buy time.
