Chapter 176: Return to the Forbidden Land

The Tobe Shangshu on the side directly questioned the source.

"Are you sure the information is true?"

Where can the military department Shangshu stand this.

Everyone is the same as the Six Books, and what you mean by this is that there is a problem with the source of our military department, and he will naturally not get used to it.

"Xu Shangshu, what does this mean?"

"The mobilization of the border army is a matter on the surface, does it still need to be verified?"

On the dragon chair, Zhang Wentian listened to the two arguing, and his heart was irritable.

He doesn't care if there is a problem with the source.

The information given by the royal intelligence agencies was more prepared and thoughtful, including the specific situation of who the deputy general was and the transfer of troops and horses.

Now that the enemy is currently the enemy, the two major Shangshu under his command actually quarreled over a trivial matter, which made Zhang Wentian extremely unhappy.

The crown prince and the prince on the side saw that all the civil and military officials had joined the quarrel, and coughed coldly.

As his cough sounded, the court fell silent for a moment.

Everyone looked at Zhang Wentian one after another, waiting for him to make a decision, and the latter's gaze swept over the ministers and said coldly.

"The army is not in the same arrangement, waiting for news."

After finishing speaking, he left directly and returned to the harem.

On the other side, there was a lot of noise in the Xiongnu military tent at this time, and King Zuo Xian directly pointed at the nose of King Youxian and scolded.

"Okay, aren't you going to take the opportunity to send troops?"

"Well, now more than 100,000 cavalry are at the border pass, and they will invade the grassland again at any time."

"Why didn't you send troops?"

King Youxian, who was sitting on the side, was swollen red by his words, and directly got up and scolded angrily.

"Bastard, who are you the king?"

"How can the matter of sending troops be determined by the words of this king."

"Do you still have a khan in your eyes?"

In his anger, the Right Virtuous King still did not forget to dig a pit for the Zuoxian King, and threw the question of sending troops to the Khan, as for the rest, it had nothing to do with him.

King Zuo Xian's face changed when he was stunned by his words, and then he said coldly.

"We discussed how to form an alliance with Su Mo before, but you wanted to take the opportunity to send troops."

"Now that Su Mo's 100,000 cavalry is in front of you, how should you deal with it?"

Just as King Youxian was about to refute, Liu De'an, the military advisor behind him, stood up.

I saw that he first hugged everyone for a week, and then looked at the Xiongnu Khan, and asked in a loud voice.

"Weichen has some ideas, I don't know if I can say it?"

The Xiongnu Khan nodded, signaling Liu Dean to speak directly, and the latter was not polite when he saw this, and as soon as he closed his feather fan, he walked in front of everyone and said loudly.

"Whether to send troops or not, you need to first analyze Su Mo's attitude towards my Huns."

After saying that, he walked to the sand table and played back and forth.

"Everyone, please see, this is the details of the transfer of the border army under Su Mo's command."

"The Dawu Dynasty and the border passes bordering the Yang Dynasty have all had heavy troop transfers, even with our grassland."

"But without exception, these armies are only mobilized, not dispatched, which means that Su Mo does not want to go to war at the same time."

"These 100,000 cavalry are placed on the border passes, which is more of a deterrent than a deterrent."

Liu Dean explained while analyzing, his expression was full of pride.

It's just that he didn't know yet, and he only guessed half of it.

The reason why Su Mo did not plan to start a war at the same time was to wait for the progress of the red-coated cannon and musket.

The current military factories at the border pass produce muskets and red-coated cannons at a rate that cannot keep up with the consumption of 800,000 border troops.

Therefore, Su Mo had to make a choice.

It is precisely because of these trade-offs that everyone has given everyone the illusion that Su Mo will not use troops against the Xiongnu.

In fact, once the red-coated cannons and muskets are equipped, Zhuge Liang will mobilize troops at the same time and directly unify the world in one fell swoop.

Liu Dean shook the feather fan very proudly and said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a high probability that the 100,000 cavalry of the border army are just pretending."

"There's no need to worry about it at all."

After hearing this, the officials and the prince also recognized it in their hearts.

Su Mo's large-scale mobilization of the army was indeed a bit strange.

But after he mobilized the army, he didn't make any other moves, which seemed even more bizarre.

As for Su Mo daring to start a war with several major dynasties at the same time, everyone didn't believe it.

There are only 800,000 troops, and even the number of border troops of the Liyang Dynasty is not comparable, and fighting with several major dynasties at the same time is tantamount to looking for death.

Moreover, their Xiongnu had just signed an agreement with Su Mo, and Su Mo would not tear up the agreement without authorization and move troops against the grassland in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, King Zuo Xian's face also softened a little, and the atmosphere in the royal court gradually became soothing, and a smile gradually appeared on everyone's faces.

Just when the contradictions of the Xiongnu Dynasty were resolved, there was a tense atmosphere within the Dawu Dynasty.

Chen Wen, the secretary of the military department, took a step forward with the latest information and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, the number of red-clothed cannons in Tianshui City has increased a lot."

"Even with the Yumen Pass, there are heavy troops hoarded again."

"I'm in the Dawu Dynasty, so I have to guard against it."

Chen Wen's remarks were not untargeted, and this was the conclusion reached by the Ministry of War after analysis.

The war between Su Mo and the Great Zhou Dynasty is imminent, and the red-clothed cannons in Tianshui City should be transferred to the frontal battlefield.

But the red-clothed cannons in Tianshui City have increased instead of decreasing, which is extremely weird.

The second is the increase in troops in the Yumen Pass, since the last defeat of the Dawu Dynasty, the Yumen Pass has never hoarded heavy troops.

Now Su Mo once again dispatched a large army to Yumen Pass, and the meaning is self-evident.

The Tobe Shangshu on the side hurriedly got up and said.

"Your Majesty, Dawu usually just negotiated peace with Su Mo, so you can't use swords and soldiers."

"The increase in troops at Yumen Pass is just a normal transfer, so there is no need to worry about it."

At this time, Zhao Wu, who was very worried about the instigation of these generals in a few words, was angry.

The army was mobilized to the border pass to confront Su Mo.

At that time, the agreement that their Dawu Dynasty had just negotiated would be directly destroyed, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Now that Yumen Pass is only a transfer of troops, there is no sign of sending troops, so there is no need to worry too much for the Dawu Dynasty.

No matter what Su Mo was, he would attack the Great Zhou Dynasty first, and they would have time to react.

On the dragon chair, Zhao Wu listened to these news, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

actually transferred troops to Yumen Pass, which made him feel a little unhappy.

But when he remembered what the ancestor said, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Seeing the officials of the military department and the household department arguing with each other, Zhao Wu felt extremely irritated in his heart.
