Section 196 Mulan

shook his head slightly, after all, it was the lack of strength that led to so many thoughts of gains and losses.

Xuzhou is not ready to fight to the death with the Shatuo people, or Xuzhou is not the opponent of the Shatuo people now.

The Shatuo people are not the Great Liang, and the war with the Great Liang over the years, the conquest of the northern Zahu has always kept them in a tense rhythm, and their army has not been eroded by the mentality of dying in peace like the Great Liang.

Their hearts are very strong, and Li Cunhou is not the master of Zhu Yun's corpse vegetarian meal, and the aggressive momentum he shows, especially the brazen war against Daliang, has made Jiang Feng realize the horror of this opponent.

What made Jiang Feng feel even more jealous was that the Shatuo people did not despise and reject magic together like the northern feudal domains and the Hu people, on the contrary, they were the most important among the northern feudal domains, and they could realize that magic together could help their relatively weak infantry strength, so they spared no effort in this regard.

So Jiang Feng sometimes thinks that maybe he will have more time to integrate and integrate if he drags it out, but it will also give Da Jin, who destroyed the Great Liang, a chance to integrate.

Unless you can have a longer period of time, such as two or three years, maybe you can crush the opponent with the strength accumulated in the spell and the strength improvement brought by climbing the technology tree.

But it is impossible for Shatuo people to give themselves so much time, half a year, Jiang Feng estimates that this should be the limit, but this is far from enough for himself, rather than this, it is better to take this opportunity to be tougher, and the benefits that should be reaped must be sufficient, anyway, in the end, there will be a battle.

Nanyang and Caizhou will never stand on the same front with themselves, because they know very well that the Shatuo people will not aim their blades at them until they solve themselves, so they will have nothing to fear.

It is this tangled and complicated relationship that makes Jiang Feng consider how to grasp this scale in the war with Caizhou, not only to ensure the interests of Xuzhou, but also to avoid making Caizhou unable to step down, forced to fight with Xuzhou, and even not accepting compromise.

"The King of the County!"

The guard's reminder again woke Jiang Feng from his contemplation.

"The Tuyuhun people have arrived?"

"They have already reached the outside of the temple. ”

"Then invite them in. Jiang Feng smiled and nodded.

The Tuyuhun people finally came, and they were not stupid, realizing that the danger that the Shatuo people might bring to them after entering the Central Plains was gradually increasing, and the stimulated Khitans were probably staring at them like tigers and wolves.

Bai Mulan pouted and stood outside the hall, a little more annoyed in her eyes.

That's how this Pengcheng county king treats his guests?

Do you really think that the Tuyuhun people have a request for him?

Doesn't he need an ally like the Tuyuhun?

The old man standing next to the blue-eyed boy was also a little uneasy, he didn't know why the other party would snub his group so much.

It stands to reason that this should not be the case.

Before coming, he also thought carefully, although he needs the support of the other party, but the situation in Xuzhou is also not optimistic, not to mention the Shatuo people, the threat of the Khitan people is also increasing, maybe he should talk to the other party about the latest situation of the Khitan people.

"Hey, Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng!"

The young man's pretended rude shout suddenly sounded in his ears, which startled the old man, "Young Master, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, there are friends from afar, don't you also say, do you Han people treat guests like this?" The blue-eyed young man ignored his companion, but looked at the palace guards who hurried over with a provocative gaze, with a smug expression.

Regarding his performance as a young gentleman, the old man almost covered his face, and he knew that something would definitely happen when he came, but he didn't expect such a mess to happen when he was about to go into battle.

The current Jiang Feng is no better than other times, the king of Pengcheng County, leading more than 20 states, ruling tens of millions of people, dozens of times more than the Tuyuhun people, although the two sides need each other at this time, but such a huge gap still makes the old man a little bold.

Jiang Feng also heard the noise at the door, and as soon as the guard introduced the situation, Jiang Feng also found it interesting, this Tuyuhun people actually sent such a stunned young man, it seems that the identity is also extraordinary, it seems that the Tuyuhun people really feel the pressure.

When the blue-eyed young man and the companion old man stepped into the main hall, Jiang Feng saw at a glance that the other party was actually a girl, and after being surprised, he estimated that this girl should be surnamed Bai or Helian, and most of them were descendants.

Since the Tuyuhun people were defeated by the Great Jin An Chongrong in the era of Helian Duo, the surname Helian began to lose power among the Tuyuhun people, and was replaced by the surname Bai, and Bai Chengfu was its leader.

Under the leadership of Bai Chengfu, the Tuyuhun people began to struggle to survive between the Khitans in the east of Hedong under the control of the Shatuo people and the Khitans in the northeast, and took advantage of the alliance with the Great Liang to gradually recover, and gradually gained a firm foothold in Yunzhou, Ulzhou, Fuzhou, Daizhou, and Shuozhou.

Hundreds of thousands of Tuyuhun people and Han people and some Zahu people live in these five states, but the Tuyuhun people also follow the practice of the Shatuo people, agriculture and animal husbandry, Han people farming, Tuyuhun people and Zahu grazing, so the relationship between the Han people and the Tuyuhun people is still good, and it is based on this that the Tuyuhun people have always hoped to establish a good relationship with the big feudal lords of the Han land, so that the Tuyuhun people can survive in this land, especially in the face of the squeeze of the Shatuo people and the Khitans.

"You are Jiang Feng, oh, the king of Pengcheng County, so young?"

Hearing the blue-eyed young man calling Jiang Feng's name, the guards in the hall all shouted loudly, and the old man hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, but Jiang Feng waved his hand disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "I am Jiang Feng, who is the little girl's name?"

"You Han women say that you can't reveal your name, but we Tuyuhun people don't have a boudoir, only tents, my name is Bai Zhen'er, my father is Bai Chengfu, and my mother is Helian Zheng. Jiang Feng saw through, the blue-eyed boy, no, it should be the blue-eyed girl who responded heartily: "This time, on the order of my father, I went to Xuzhou." ”

Sure enough, it's a cheerful woman, Bai Chengfu's daughter, Bai Mulan? This name is interesting, probably envy Mulan?

Mother Helian Zheng?Helian Duo's sister?

Of course, Jiang Feng knew something about the situation of the Tuyuhun people, Helian Duo lost power, but Bai Chengfu was Helian Duo's sister-in-law, and he was also the head of the surname Bai.

Although the leadership of the Tuyuhun people led by the two surnames has been transferred, they still maintain a relatively close relationship and have not split, because both surnames know that once the current Tuyuhun people are in civil strife, they will really die and be wiped out, and the Shatuo people and the Khitans don't mind swallowing this piece of fat, and the land of the five states, even if it is a place outside the fortress, is still coveted.

"Hehe, Bai Mulan, a good name, Mulan who fought for his father?" Jiang Feng smiled, he didn't know if the story of Hua Mulan joining the army for his father was circulated among these nomads in the north.

"Hey, the king of the county also knows this song?" The blue-eyed girl was surprised, and there was also a little joy in the surprise.

This folk song spread on the grassland can also be known in the Central Plains, which really surprised her, especially the king of Pengcheng County, who started in Huainan, heard that martial arts are very talented, but he is not proficient in poetry and songs, and he can actually know this folk song that circulates on the grassland in the northland, which also makes the girl feel a little closer to Jiang Feng.

"Well, I know a little about Yuefu poetry, and I've heard it, it's really touching. Jiang Feng didn't expect that he and this Tuguhun girl would actually talk about this topic, "Miss Mulan must have obtained this name by herself, right?"

"How do you know?" said the blue-eyed girl.

Jiang Feng is a little funny, which parent would take the name of Mulan that is spread around, even if it is a Hu person, he does not encourage women to replace men in the army, most likely this girl has a feeling, so she gave herself this name.

"I guess. "Jiang Feng hasn't been so relaxed for a long time.

"Well, no wonder. The blue-eyed girl's eyes widened, and her turquoise eyes looked particularly crystal clear, with a mysterious luster, "By the way, the county king, this time we are here to pay homage to the county king, congratulate the county king, and there are also some things I want to talk to the county king, and the specific affairs are still the seventh uncle." ”

Seeing that the girl simply handed over the specific affairs to the old man beside her, Jiang Feng felt more and more that this girl was interesting, and she seemed to be very self-aware, knowing that she was not proficient in major affairs involving the two families, so she calmly handed over power.

The next conversation is much more formal, as a representative of the Tuyuhun people, Bai Chengshou talked about continuing to provide war horses to the Xuzhou army, but this is not the most important, Bai Chengshou focused on the current drastic changes in the situation on the grassland in the north, although Wuwentang has also strengthened the intelligence spy collection in the north, but because the current focus of Xuzhou is still the Central Plains and Hedong, Nanyang, Caizhou, like the northern part of Heshuo and the situation on the grassland outside the Saiwai, but the situation is not deep, and the Tuyuhun people obviously know more about this aspect.

"The Khitans defeated the Hejie tribe south of Gulunbo, and part of the remnants of the Hejie tribe have fled to the southwest to the area north of our Tuyuhun people, and according to the news they brought, the Khitans have also conquered the Ximurwei people, and the Wuluohu tribe has also surrendered to the Khitans, and now the Khitan power has swelled dramatically, and their nobles are driving a large number of slaves captured in the war to the south,......"

Jiang Feng's face changed slightly.

He didn't expect Bai Chengshou to bring him such news, which Wuwentang had never learned before.

However, it is no wonder that the conquest of the Khitans in the swampy mountains and forests of the northeast has been intermittent, and those savage tribes living in the mountains and forests have sometimes surrendered and sometimes rebelled, which is also a major hidden danger in the north of the Khitans, but I didn't expect the Khitans to achieve such achievements in the past two years.

This is not good news for Xuzhou.
