Chapter 52: Analyzing the Pros and Cons Advocate going south
"Father Khan just said that Daxia is at a time when the country is rich and the people are strong, and the ministers don't agree with this."
"The Great Xia Kingdom did destroy the Great Qian Kingdom fifteen years ago, but because of this, for more than ten years, there was no more trouble with swords and soldiers in Great Xia.
"The power of the Chinese courtiers of the DPRK has prevailed, while the military generals have been repeatedly sidelined."
"Jing'anhou, the god of war who once made great achievements in the battle to destroy the Great Qian, was also suspicious of the royal family, and it is said that he has been obsessed with the female color of the Qinglou for a long time, and he has long since lost the courage of the year."
"It is true that the people of Great Xia are rich and rich, but the people have been stable for a long time, there is no sense of distress, they only know how to be happy, and no one is willing to take the sword lightly."
"On the other hand, my Turks are different."
"Since my father Khan unified the Northern Desert five years ago, my Turkic control of hundreds of thousands, the territory is vast, countless small countries around it have surrendered, and the warriors who can conquer and fight on the grassland can reach ten, which is the best time to attack the Central Plains."
"Although in the past few years, my father Khan has taken the grassland sons to fight everywhere and expanded countless territories, but the surrounding countries are poor and poor, where can they compare to the splendid rivers and mountains of the Central Plains Great Xia Kingdom?"
"As long as Father Khan makes up his mind and wades his army south, the porcelain and silk of the Central Plains, as well as countless gold, silver and precious jade, will be at your fingertips!"
Princess Erma's impassioned words immediately made the eyes of everyone in the tent shine.
Shaporo Khan asked excitedly, "Erma, what you said is true?" ”
"Yes, princess, we also know that the Central Plains is rich and full of gold and silver treasures, but after all, it is a big country, will it be as weak as you say?"
"If you can overthrow a Great Qian Dynasty that has lasted for hundreds of years, how can the Great Xia Kingdom be so easy to deal with?"
"Even if what the princess said is true, the older generation of generals of the Great Xia Kingdom is not of great use, but the younger generation of new forces should have grown up, right?"
In the face of repeated doubts, Princess Erma smiled disdainfully.
"Father Khan doesn't know that the Emperor of Great Xia has been declining day by day since the death of the crown prince."
"And the battle for the throne between several princes in the palace is becoming more and more intense."
"Among them, the second prince and the seventh prince who are the most promising to inherit the crown prince, one has gone to the fiefdom of Suizhou not long ago, and the other has won over most of the civil servants in the court to crack down on dissidents, and corruption has become commonplace."
"And this time, Erchen sent an envoy to Great Xia, and after careful observation, he found that the Great Xia Kingdom was peaceful on the surface, but in fact it was full of crises."
"It's ridiculous to say, although Erchen has only been in the capital of Daxia for more than ten days, what he hears the most is an anecdote about a Qinglou Fengyue place."
"It is rumored that the Qinglou called Qingyan Pavilion has a top-notch master, how he won another Qinglou controlled by Jing'an Hou, and this person is so subtle and has repeatedly made popular lyrics and songs."
"It can be seen that from top to bottom, in addition to indulging in pleasure, the Great Xia Kingdom is addicted to wine."
"What's even more ridiculous is that someone just mentioned that the so-called young generation of military generals of the Great Xia Kingdom."
"When the ministers went out, they specially proposed to have a banquet in the Qingyan Pavilion in the Qinglou, and let Shu Lun compete with the little marquis of the Jing'an Hou Mansion during the banquet."
"Shu Lun is just an ordinary guard beside Erchen, and that little marquis is known as the number one master of the younger generation of Great Xia."
"The result of the comparison was that Shu Lun punched the opponent with blood all over his face."
"What's even more ridiculous is that Erchen also heard that the little marquis actually had repeated conflicts with a Qinglou priest for the sake of his children's private affairs, and was repeatedly teased by the other party!"
"Father Khan, let me ask, what kind of threat does such a Great Xia Kingdom pose to us?"
After Erma finished speaking, some of the people who had doubts in the tent suddenly lifted their spirits, and Shaporo also frowned.
One of the rough men stood up, "Haha, if it's really like what the princess said, the Great Xia Kingdom is completely a group of soft-footed sheep!" ”
"That's right! There are countless warriors like Shu Lun on our grassland, even Shu Lun can defeat their number one master, as long as the Great Khan sends troops, the Great Xia Kingdom will die! ”
"Great Khan, the last general Bahulu is willing to lead 100,000 troops and set foot in Great Xia!"
Seeing the surging emotions in the tent, Shapolo also aroused pride.
"Good! Erma deserves to be the most proud daughter of Father Khan! ”
"Erma, what should we do in your opinion?"
"The territory of the Great Xia Kingdom is vast, and it will not take a year or two, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture them all, right?"
Finally convinced everyone, Erma smiled indifferently.
"Father Khan is right."
"If you want to completely win Great Xia, you can't do it overnight."
"Erchen thinks that the treasures everywhere in Great Xia are a big piece of fat meat, and we can eat them slowly one bite at a time."
"It's just winter, the desert pastures are barren, and it's not easy for herders to survive, so it's a good time for us to send troops south."
"Father Khan can first send 100,000 warriors to raid several cities on the border of Great Xia, in addition to plundering property and population, he can also deter Great Xia with the momentum of a large army pressing the border."
"The Great Xia Kingdom has not been at war for a long time, and the ministers are sure that they will not dare to raise their swords lightly."
"At that time, Father Khan can use his strong strength to force the Emperor of Great Xia to send rich money, and even directly ask Great Xia to offer royal daughters and relatives."
"Father Khan is in the year of dragon spirit and tiger fierceness, although the princesses of Daxia are young, but there is still a county lord who is twenty-eight years old, with a beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament, it is the most suitable for Father Khan to be Kedun."
"Haha-"
Shaporo Khan laughed heartily when he heard this.
"I'm really thoughtful!"
"Good!"
"As my son Erma said."
"Five days later, pray for eternal life, and Bahulu will lead 100,000 warriors to the south!"
When Erma heard this, she immediately pouted, "Father Khan-"
"Hehe, okay, Erma can lead five thousand soldiers and horses alone and go south with the army.
Shu Lun, protect the princess well, something went wrong, come and see you! ”
Erma was overjoyed when she heard this, "Thank you, Father Khan!" ”
The northern border of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Every year in the early winter, the people along the border began to worry about the sudden looting of the Turkic cavalry.
Shengzhou City, the closest to the Turks, although it had been prepared for a long time, when the Turkic cavalry suddenly appeared outside the city, it still shocked all the soldiers and civilians!
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
For a time, the sound of gongs and drums, the wolf smoke rushed to the sky, and the whole city was warned.
A few days later, the northern states sent fast horses straight to the capital.
The people of the capital haven't seen such a scene for a long time, and they are speculating wildly.
In the main hall of the palace, the soldiers knelt on the ground and wept.
"Your Majesty!"
"The Turkic cavalry suddenly attacked!"
"More than ten cities in Shengzhou have all fallen, and a large number of people have been taken captive!"
"Now that the Turkic 100,000 cavalry has approached Suizhou, His Royal Highness the King of Sui is recruiting troops with all his might, personally leading the people to resist, and is anxious for His Majesty's soldiers, horses, grain and grass to support!"
