Chapter 135: Xiang Jun
Just when Qin Qing went deep into the catacombs of the Devil's Crying Gorge, something happened to the grassland barbarians on the side of the Chu Empire.
In the Golden Tent of the Great Barbarian King, the Great Barbarian King sits on the top of the barbarian seat, and below, eighteen small barbarian kings of various tribes are discussing in the tent.
"Great King, when can we set off to attack the Chuba Empire?" A little barbarian king at the front of the seat looked a little impatient, licked his lips, his eyes showed a greedy light, and said: "My soldiers are already eager to go to the prosperous Chuba Empire to plunder and fight!"
"Yes, the wealth and women of the Chuba Empire attract us like a river attracts wild horses. The warriors of our tribe are also impatient!" Another tall little barbarian king also asked loudly.
"Great Barbarian King, you give the order, we are all ready!" said the little barbarian kings one after another.
There was an uproar in the tent, but the great barbarian king who sat on the throne was silent, his brows furrowed slightly, as if there was something difficult to decide.
A little barbarian king who was close to him saw this scene, his eyes rolled, and he said: "Great barbarian king, we little barbarian kings are your most loyal subordinates, after we enter the Chu Ba Empire, we must send the most beautiful women and the most precious wealth to the great barbarian king's account first, for the big barbarian king to choose!"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that this was the reason why the Great Barbarian King had not given the order to attack for a long time. Thinking of this, everyone also hurriedly expressed their positions. I must give the best and fattest share of the benefits to the Great Barbarian King, and I will definitely not monopolize it or anything like that.
The great barbarian king on the grassland is the most powerful tribe, if the great barbarian king is unwilling, the strength of the grassland country will drop by at least three or four percent, and the great barbarian kings of the past generations have been blessed by the barbarian gods, and they are the spiritual leaders of all the grassland people, and they cannot be offended.
"Joke, are you greedy for me?" the Barbarian King finally spoke. He said in a deep voice: "The reason why I delayed giving the order to attack. It's because the National Teacher hasn't come back yet. ”
"Without the National Teacher, there is indeed a lack of a powerful combat power. A little barbarian king nodded and said, "But the king, the Xiang family has already agreed to our conditions." Open borders. Our cavalry can drive straight in. Quickly attacked to the capital of the Chu Ba Emperor. The soldiers who dominate the empire are no match for our brave steppe cavalry. Besides, the most powerful master of the Chuba Empire. is also a middle-level master of the Chu Ba Emperor, and an old guy named Chu Yuan, plus at most a dozen masters of the overlord realm. We've got enough of these people!"
"That is, my lord, if the national teacher comes back and says a word of conscience, not only will he not be able to help much at this time, but he will have to get a piece of the pie. A cronie of the little barbarian king leaned up and whispered: "In the past, every time we fought, the one who scored the most points was the national teacher, although the national teacher helped us to become stronger, but we didn't treat him badly, in my opinion, this time there is no need to wait for him." ”
The Great Barbarian King seemed to be a little shaken by this, after all, the national teacher had already arranged everything before leaving, and at this time, he only needed to send troops to capture the Chuba Empire, indeed, as those little barbarian kings under his command said, the difference between the national teacher and the national teacher is not too big, if you can persuade the Xiang family to help, it is even more foolproof.
But he also had some hesitation in his heart, the little barbarian kings didn't know what to do, but the big barbarian king himself was a national teacher who knew that the national teacher was incomparably powerful, and he could destroy the huge power of the grassland barbarian country with a wave of his hand.
Thinking of this, the Great Barbarian King took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I have decided to wait for the national teacher for another ten days. Ten days later, if the national teacher does not come back, we will send out the whole army!"
"Yes!"
"The king is wise, the eagle of the grassland will surely fly to the sky above the Chu Empire!"
The little barbarian kings below got up one after another to stroke their chests and salute, praising the big barbarian king, in their hearts, ten days later is the harvest season, the wine, wealth and women of the Chuba Empire, let them one by one blood boil, extremely restless.
"You go back and prepare, prepare enough weapons, bows, arrows and horses, you can prepare less food, the Chuba Empire is our granary!"
The little barbarian king left one after another, and only the big barbarian king and one of his closest little barbarians were left in the tent.
"The king left me, I don't know why?" asked the little barbarian king Jili.
"You work hard, go to Xiangcheng, find Xiang Jun, and ask him for help. "The Great Barbarian King.
……
The Chu Empire is in Bien Phu.
Although the whole province is not as big as other provinces in the interior, only one million people and six cities, but among the millions of people in Linbian Province, a quarter are professional soldiers, and most of the rest are military logistics, family members, etc., and almost all of the entire Linbian Province are institutions serving the army.
The main city of Linbian Province, Xiangcheng, is also the family residence of Duke Xiang Jun of Linbian.
The Xiang family was born in the military, and his ancestors once followed the founding emperor of the Chuba Empire to fight in all directions, established great meritorious achievements, and was named the Duke of the Empire.
Over the past hundred years, no matter how turbulent the Chuba Empire has been and the political situation has changed, the Xiang family has remained unmoved, standing tall on the edge of the empire with heavy troops, and the favor has become more and more solemn day by day. After hundreds of years of operation, the Xiang family is almost the uncrowned king in Linbian Mansion, and the local people only know that there is Xiang Gong in Ludao, but they don't know that there is an emperor, and even several prefectures near Linbian Mansion are looking forward to Linbian Mansion, and the emperor's decree is not as effective as the words of an ordinary general in Linbian Mansion.
The Xiang family was born in the military, and the family is actually a military camp, and at this time, the big battalion is in the tent.
"I've seen the generalissimo!" A group of military generals with bright armor knelt down and saluted in the tent, half of these people were generals of the Xiang family, half of them were generals in the army, but they all had one common characteristic, that is, they were all Xiang Jun's henchmen. After following Xiang Jun for many years, they did not call Xiang Jun Grandpa, but habitually called Generalissimo.
There are more than 20 generals, a small half of them have entered the overlord realm, and there are even two of them, who are already beginner human kings!
On the throne of the handsome tent, there is a dignified and burly middle-aged gold-armored general, this person's eyes are faintly shining, his temples are bulging high, and his whole body is full of momentum but not revealed, it is Xiang Cheng, the head of the Xiang family who has reached the middle level of the human king.
"Everyone, your ancestors have been my Xiang family for generations, and you have followed my Xiang family to share weal and woe, and jointly establish meritorious deeds, and Ben Shuai has long regarded you as his confidants. A few months ago, my son Xiang Cheng died in the imperial capital, and he has not seen his body so far, I am afraid that Emperor Chuba saw that our Xiang family was getting bigger and bigger, and he was not at ease with me, and he wanted to attack my Xiang family. As the saying goes, strike first is strong, no poison is not a husband, Ben Shuai has already promised the grassland barbarians to facilitate their attack on the Chu Empire and make way for them. Xiang Jun's gaze swept over everyone and said.
"The great marshal has been loyal to the empire for generations, guarding the borders, and making great contributions, and the emperor not only does not praise him, but is jealous and secretly framed. We are willing to follow the commander and work together for a great cause!" said a mid-level general of the hegemon, this person is the elder of the Xiang family, the cronies of the Xiang army.
"Exactly! The Chu Empire has been established for more than 300 years, if it weren't for the protection of the Dashuai family, it would have been wiped out by the grassland barbarians a long time ago, although we are not from the Xiang family, we also see it in our eyes and are willing to follow Dashuai!" A general of the first rank of the king of people also immediately opened his mouth to make his position clear.
Most of the people present in this matter already know the truth, these people only recognize Xiang Jun in their hearts, and they don't have the heart of the Chu Empire at all, and once the Chu Empire is destroyed in the future, Xiang Jun can be crowned king, and their status will also rise with the tide.
"Okay!" Xiang Jun waved his hand, suppressed the voice in the tent, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Yesterday, the little barbarian king of the grassland, Jili, brought a message from the big barbarian king, hoping that we will not only open the way, but also send troops to help him capture the imperial capital of Chu Ba, and send masters to assist him in fighting with the masters of the Chu Ba royal family. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the generals below did not speak immediately, and they all showed some concerns.
After a while, a general of the Xiang family spoke: "Great Shuai, this matter needs to be thought twice. Although our Xiang family is mighty, it is only a family after all, and it cannot compete with the Chu Empire or the grassland barbarians alone, so we can only take advantage of the two of them to fight, take millet from the fire, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. The Xiang family's reliance is on the strong and thick walls of the six main cities, as well as the strong foundation of Linbianfu, if the army leaves the city and leaves Linbianfu, the general will think that it is a little dangerous. ”
"Exactly. Dashuai, once the grassland barbarians destroy the Chu Empire, the next one may have to attack us, we should preserve our strength, only if we have strength in hand, the grassland barbarians can only supply us, politely, otherwise once we fight to the death with the Chu Empire and run out of soldiers, the grassland barbarians will definitely not mind swallowing us. The barbarians of the grassland, but they don't know what Xinyi is. Another older general said.
"What a few people said is true, and Ben Shuai did think so at the beginning. Xiang Jun's eyes showed a ray of essence, and he sneered: "Ben Shuai has never believed in the grassland barbarian kings, these people are like savages, and they only know how to kill. But have you ever thought about it, just like Xiang Fei said, our strength is not enough to compete with a country, even if we don't make a move, stay in Linbianfu, once the grassland barbarians defeat the Chu Empire, will they really keep the agreement, not like us to do it? I don't think it maybe, maybe, after they defeated the Chu Empire, they will treat us as a thorn in the flesh, and they want to destroy it quickly. Xiang Jun sneered. (To be continued......)
