Chapter 357: The Prince of the Prairie
In the depths of the vast grassland, there is the imperial capital of the grassland tribes, Dadu, where the supreme ruler of the grassland tribes, the grassland king, lives. 【Reading.com】
The King of the Prairie has been in power for decades, and there is nothing particularly outstanding, but the proudest thing in his life is that he gave birth to a good son - Prince Khurekba.
Kurekba was ambitious, and with the help of capable people, after the king of the steppe tried to put power in his hands, he managed the steppe tribe in just a few years.
Seeing this, the king of the steppe simply handed over most of the government affairs to his son, and then built himself the most gorgeous and magnificent palace, and retired in the palace like a semi-retirement.
In addition to the royal palace, another magnificent palace in the capital is the palace of the prince of the steppe, Khurekba.
At this time, in this palace, two people were talking in the main hall.
"Tumur, how is the battle going in Lilac City, and what happened to the entire army of Haraz who attacked the Ximu Empire?" said the steppe prince Kurekba with a proud expression, sitting on a tiger skin chair with two crossed battle axes on the back, and in front of him stood Tumur, a military advisor who was responsible for collecting and analyzing military reports.
Tumur replied with a solemn face: "His Royal Highness Prince Qiyu, Qiyan Grad sent someone to report that the Great Xia Empire sent a general named Situ Xiaofeng a few days ago to support Lilac City with an army of 200,000 as the general of Zhenyuan. He has fought against Situ Xiaofeng several times, and they have all won a great victory and achieved fruitful results. He said that the other party was simply vulnerable, and also said that he was sure that he would annihilate Situ Xiaofeng's army in one fell swoop in a short period of time and successfully capture Lilac City. ”
After reporting the first situation, Tumur took out a note and looked at it, and then continued: "As for Haraz's army, according to the spies, it should have encountered a general named Lin Yu of the Great Xia Empire, who led a sneak attack and burned our army's grain and grass, causing the army's morale to be disrupted, so the whole army was wiped out. ”
Situ Xiaofeng ...... Lin Yu ......" Kurekba repeated the two names a few times, waved his hand and said disapprehantly: "Don't care. I heard my father say that the most famous general of the Great Xia Empire is Lin Tianqing, these two people are estimated to be rising generations, they are not famous, and they should not have any great ability. ”
"Pass the order, let Qiyangrad speed up the attack, and take Lilac City as soon as possible. Haraz's idiot, if he dies, it's not a big deal. As for the Westwood Empire...... Did Liu Minde send back any news about this Lin Yu?" asked Kurekba casually.
"No, I haven't heard from Liu Minde for several days, and I don't know ...... him," Tumur replied when he was interrupted by a guard who hurried in to report.
"Your Royal Highness Prince Qiqi, there is a guy outside, claiming to be a close confidant of Lord Liu Minde Liu, and asking to see you, saying that there is an extremely urgent important matter to report. The guard knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Hurekba asked Tumur, who was standing on the side, with a little puzzled look, and found that he was also full of doubts.
This Liu Minde has always been cautious, usually reporting the situation to himself in the form of flying pigeons, or looking for an opportunity to come in person, how could he let his subordinates come to report the news this time? Hu Lekba pondered for a while, although he was still a little puzzled in his heart, but he still waved his hand and said: "Let him come in!"
The guards took the order to retreat, and in a few moments a ragged man, cloaked in and covered in dirt, staggered in, looking like he had been on the run for a long time, and barely recognizable from his face that he was a young man.
"Enlightenment...... His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, under is ...... He is Lord Liu Minde's personal guard. A few days ago, Lin Yu of the Great Xia Empire came to the Western Capital City and was stationed outside the city, and on the first day he was safe, but on the second day, he suddenly rushed into the palace with his army and arrested Lord Liu Minde, and our people were either captured or killed. The young man spoke in fits and starts, gasping for air.
"And how did you escape?" asked Hurekba, a little skeptical. Liu Minde has always been very cautious, and the queen of the Ximu Empire also trusts him, how could a general of Great Xia casually break into someone's palace to arrest someone?
"I ...... I hid in the palace in the Western Capital for two days before I could find a chance to slip away and run back to report to you......" Before he finished speaking, the young man fell to his knees due to physical exhaustion, looking really exhausted and exhausted.
"You...... Are you Keshta?" Tumur on the side vaguely felt that this person was a little familiar, and after a closer look, he suddenly asked in surprise. He had indeed seen this young man a few times, but now that the other party was unkempt, he really didn't recognize it at once.
Seeing that Keshta nodded weakly, Tumur hurriedly beckoned someone to bring some food. Although there was only a little simple dry food in a hurry, Keshta ate it like a storm, which shows that he has indeed been hungry for a long time.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" After seeing that Keshta had eaten enough, Kurekba finally asked coldly, the expression on his face a little gloomy.
"Here's the thing...... Seeing the prince's inquiry, Keshta quickly wiped his mouth, imprisoned Liu Minde and Lu Fei and Yinyue, falsely passed on the edict, and made himself the regent, and then Lin Yu led the troops to attack the Ximu Palace, and said it locally.
After understanding the whole story, Khurekba motioned for Kshta to step back and let him go and get some rest first, while he and Tumur stayed there to discuss the situation.
"This Liu Minde, who is so cautious on weekdays, is really surprising when he is impulsive. Hurekba shook his head and said, his tone not too concerned, and he didn't seem to take it seriously.
Tumur also said with a smile: "Maybe he has been suppressed for too long before! After all, after being a male pet for ten years, no matter how much he will be a little resentful." In fact, speaking of which, Lord Liu's opportunity this time was really good, if it hadn't been for Lin Yu, who came out of nowhere to stop him, maybe he would have successfully sent out all the edicts by now. ”
"If you're unlucky, you can't help it," Kurekba stretched his waist, replied casually, thought about it and asked: "Tumur, do you think we should send troops to attack the Ximu Empire first and rescue Liu Minde, or continue to reinforce Qiyangrad's troops and let him capture Lilac City as soon as possible?"
