Chapter 358: Feeding War with War
Kurekba also has his own considerations, after all, the prosperity of the grassland tribe has only been a matter of the past few years, and the background is not strong enough. Since the beginning of this year, they have been fighting on two fronts in Great Xia and Ximu, and after a long time, they will begin to be powerless, whether it is soldiers, silver or grain and grass, it is not enough for them to continue to squander uncontrollably.
So now, he needs to find a focus as soon as possible, either to capture the Ximu Empire, or to attack the Great Xia Empire with all his might. After the capture is taken, the best way to solve the armament problem is to use the resources of the captured city to feed the war.
"Hmm......" Tumur also understood the concerns of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he had always been resourceful, and he thought carefully for a while, and replied confidently: "Weichen thinks that we should put the main force on the road of attacking the Great Xia Empire. ”
"Oh, why?" After hearing Tumur's choice, Hurekba raised his eyebrows and asked, he had always trusted this military advisor, and he was responsible for planning and implementing many of his strategies, so he also wanted to know the reason for his choice.
Tumur said eloquently: "There are three reasons for Weichen, first, the Great Xia Empire occupies the most fertile and excellent land in our continent, and the materials are also the most abundant. The Ximu Empire, on the other hand, was located in the yellow sand and lacked resources. If we want to implement the strategy of feeding the war with war, we must first choose the rich Great Xia Empire.
Second, you also heard Weichen's battle report just now, the new Situ Xiaofeng in Lilac City has no ability at all, Qiyan Grad is the strongest and smartest three-star general of our grassland tribe, if His Highness allocates some more people to him, then he will definitely be able to take Lilac City immediately!
Last but not least, Your Highness, you think! This Great Xia Empire is much stronger than the Ximu Empire, as long as we capture the Great Xia Empire, the Ximu Empire will see our power and understand our own gap, won't it immediately obediently bow down to us?"
"That's right!" Hu Rekba nodded again and again, very satisfied with his military advisor, but after thinking about it, he was a little worried, "Then what about Liu Minde? After all, he is also our old minister for more than ten years, and letting him lurk in the Ximu Empire before made him suffer a great grievance." Now that he has been arrested, how can this king let him suffer at Lin Yu's hands like this?"
He still had a sentence to say: If he did this, what would the other courtiers say about me as a prince in their eyes?
What's more, he still values Liu Minde very much, otherwise he would not have assigned him to such a dangerous task before. Although Liu Minde failed to take the Ximu Empire for him, he could be regarded as doing his best for the grassland tribe, and Kurekba didn't want him to chill.
"Hmph!" Tumur snorted lightly, and said in a rather disdainful tone: "That Lin Yu, I think it's just a clown who jumps off the beam." Before, he was only able to win so easily because he attacked Haraz's army and burned the grain and grass. There are many tricks, and there is no force to win!"
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has a way. Tumur's eyes rolled, he thought about it, and hurriedly said: "We can send an envoy to the Ximu Empire, threaten that Lin Yu, and order him to hand over Liu Minde immediately." If he dares not to let people go, we will overwhelm the border with a large army and take the capital of the Ximu Empire! With Lin Yu's despicable character of only sneaking up behind the scenes, he must be a gutless rat, and he will definitely panic when he hears the news and release him immediately. ”
"Well, that's it!" Hu Rekba clapped his palms and nodded very approvingly, "Then so be it, immediately send another 100,000 troops to Qiyangrad, let him make a military order, and limit him to capture Lilac City within a month! As for who to send to the Ximu Empire to negotiate with Lin Yu, it's up to you to decide, in short, I just need to see Liu Minde come back alive and sound, nothing else matters." ”
As Tumur took the order, Hurekba felt that everything was under control, and stretched out in contentment, and went back to the dormitory to have fun.
........................
In the Ximu Empire, because Lin Yu's army was still recuperating after attacking the Western Capital, Lin Yu had been idle these days, very bored, in addition to practicing every day, he was wandering around the Western Capital, or he was going to guide the soldiers to train with Zhou Weida.
Because Yinyue had just ascended the throne, she was so busy dealing with political affairs that Lang Jun, who didn't have time to accompany her, only had a little free time in the evening to chat with Lin Yu. It was often the two of them who whispered, but before they could say a word, Yinyue was so tired that she fell asleep directly.
Lin Chen has been staying in the barracks, trying to clean up Liu Minde, but although he tried all the ways he could think of, he still couldn't pry Liu Minde's mouth open, which made him very frustrated.
Zhou Weida is still busy training troops every day, and after two different types of battles, the army has gradually gained some combat experience, and the training is quite effective. He trained those cultivator legions in the morning, and asked the cultivator soldiers to train those ordinary soldiers in groups in the afternoon, so as to improve the comprehensive ability of the army while also striving to expand the cultivator team as soon as possible.
With Lin Yu here, the training enthusiasm of the soldiers was extremely high. First, because Lin Yu's several shots have benefited them a lot, not only have they found a feeling in combat, but they can also receive thanks from the people from time to time, which makes people have a sense of achievement;
Compared with before, when they were in the imperial capital, they were always disliked and complained about, and everyone didn't bother to look at them squarely, kicking them around like a ball. After the expedition, Lin Yu not only did not despise them, but accompanied them to grow together, so they were always full of gratitude to General Lin Yu.
"General Lin Yu!" On this day, Lin Yu was cultivating in Yinyue's dormitory, when he saw Xiao Rou running in breathlessly, and said very eagerly: "General Lin Yu, it's not good! The grassland tribe has sent an envoy over, and now he has arrived in the Western Capital City to see Her Majesty!"
"Hmm, what are the steppe tribes sending envoys to do now?, are they here to sue for peace?" Lin Yu asked with a frown when he woke up from his cultivation.
Xiao Rou shook her head and said angrily: "No, as soon as he came up, he asked Queen Yinyue to release Liu Minde immediately." Queen Yinyue disagreed, and was humiliated by the envoy! Now they are arguing in the court, you can go and help her!"
