"This year's blizzard is extremely ferocious, and our Three-Eyed Heavenly Master says that he is preparing for the longest winter. As you can see, if my horse team hadn't set off earlier, they would have been buried in the road by this snowstorm. ”

As if to help Wobeitai create momentum, when he said this, the wind outside Zhedajin's tent blew even more violently, and in the howling wind and snow, there was a faint sound of people shouting and neighing.

Zheda nodded, "This snowstorm did come earlier than usual. ”

"Therefore, this year, our Southern Expeditionary Grain Cavalry must start earlier, and we need to bring back as many reserves as possible from Great Xia. ”

"That's nature, that's nature. This is also exactly what Zheda wants.

The county lord of Zhaojin on the side couldn't help but sneer, "Let our warriors go to other people's houses to rob them, isn't this making them robbers?"

Wobeitai's color changed, and the flesh edges on his cheeks appeared, but because of Zheda's face, he endured it and didn't have a seizure.

King Zheda saw the displeasure on Wobetai's face, and hurriedly scolded,

"Girl, don't be big or small, this is a big matter related to the survival of our rangers. Why do they occupy fertile land in Great Xia, and we have to be trapped in this barren grassland? Besides, back then, the Great Xia demon Tiankui Hou drove our ancestors all the way from the south of the desert to the desert, and then forced the ancestors to retreat to the grassland. Do you know how much blood our ancestors used to water the land that nourishes us today. ”

The statement was impassioned, and Zhao Jin opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it.

Wo Beitai nodded at this time, and then went down, "What King Zheda said is that our rangers are strong and strong, and while receiving food this time, we should also teach those Great Xia people who have no one in their eyes some lessons, and seek justice for our ancestors who are riding." ”

"Reason, reason. I don't know how the second prince planned it. ”

"Father Wang Liangmuha has already formed an army of 100,000, I hope that your Nanyuan Nine Divisions can also cooperate with the formation of an army of 100,000, and we will ride 200,000 iron cavalry divisions to break through the defense line of Great Xia in one fell swoop and open the northern defense portal of Great Xia. ”

When Wobetai said this, his eyes radiated a fierce light, as if he was a steppe wolf staring at its prey.

Although the steppe wolf is not the largest beast on the grassland, it is the most powerful predator, and the prey it targets, even if it is a cow or horse several times larger, it will fight bravely and never back down until the prey is in hand, or it will fall on its own, and it will not die.

However, the request put forward by Wobeitai made Zheda a little difficult, "The soldiers under the command of King Liangmuha are strong and strong, and there is the strong support of the ten tribes of Beiyuan, 100,000 elite soldiers are not a problem, but I only have nine in Nanyuan, and the people are not as prosperous as the ten in Beiyuan, and it may be difficult to achieve the transfer of 100,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Wo Beitai looked at Zheda's treacherous appearance, and his heart was suddenly dissatisfied, knowing that this old thing must be trying to bargain, although he hated it in his heart, but when he came, he promised his father Wang Liangmuha, this trip must be successful, so he suppressed the fire in his heart and asked patiently,

"What does King Jeda mean?"

"Haha, second prince rest assured, Liangmuha is the male lord of the Ranger Country given to me by the Immortal Heaven, I Zheda will naturally be willing to obey the dispatch, 100,000 warriors can't get together, but 50,000 is still guaranteed, when King Liangmuha's Southern Expedition messenger came, I had already started to mobilize all my staff. Just ......"

"Just what?" Knowing that the old fox was going to ask for benefits, Wobeitai still put the overall situation first and continued to endure.

"It's just that after all, the Great Xia Kingdom is also a large number of soldiers, and it has always taken revenge on our southern expedition, and at that time, my Nanyuan Nine Department will inevitably bear the brunt, and in order to appease them, I have to make a promise. ”

After speaking, Zheda raised the horn cup in front of him and toasted frequently to the second prince to hide his ugly face when he was blackmailing.

Wobetai's face turned from blue to red, and then gradually turned calm, and he also raised the horn cup in front of him, and drank the liquor in the cup.

In fact, the symbolic meaning of the joint Nanyuan army is greater than the actual battle, and Liang Muha, as the commander of the Ranger Country, asked Nanyuan to send troops mainly to show the unity of the Ranger Country, and also to highlight the identity of the ruler of Liang Muha. When it comes to real fighting, the main force of the Ranger Nation is still Hasuya's elite iron horseman.

Wobetai weighed it up,

"When my father, King Liangmuha, handed over the nine parts of Nanyuan to King Zheda, he said that you are his trusted brother, and since King Zheda said so, I believe that the king has done his best. In that way, the Ninth Department of Nanyuan sent 50,000 troops, and the income from the southern expedition was divided equally with Beiyuan. ”

"So very good, so very good. Zheda's face suddenly turned red, and he said yes excitedly.

"However," Wobeitai will not obey Zhedayan, "The 50,000 soldiers and horses in Nanyuan will be handed over to me to lead and dispatch, and it is good to be rewarded for meritorious deeds." ”

"This?" Zheda was a little embarrassed, although the Southern Expedition had also joined forces in previous years, but the Nanyuan soldiers had always been independent into an army, if the 50,000 elite cavalry were directly handed over to Wobetai, Zheda was still a little embarrassed. But after thinking about it, when this nest became his son-in-law, it didn't seem to be a loss to hand over the soldiers to him, and besides, he had already agreed to his conditions.

"How can that be?" Zheda was still struggling with whether to agree, but Zhao Jin on the side stood up, "Our soldiers in Nanyuan are naturally led by our generals in Nanyuan!"

Wobeitai didn't expect that it was the Zhaojin County Lord in front of him who stood up to oppose it, so he stopped speaking out.

Looking at Wobetai's gloomy face and only drinking with his head bored, Zheda secretly speculated that this future son-in-law seemed to be angry. By the way, the future son-in-law, in order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Zheda slammed his eyes at his daughter Zhaojin County Lord on the side, and saw that his daughter turned a blind eye, so he had to pull down his old face,

"Daughter, the prince of Wobetai came from afar with the entrustment of the king of our ranger Tianjiao Liangmuha, the southern expedition is also an annual event in our ranger country, in order to wish this year's southern expedition a smooth journey, you also come to the prince of Wobetai to wish the bar. ”

Zhao Jin insisted on not complying, the angry Zheda blew his beard and stared, and he couldn't wait to step forward and scold, seeing that Zheda's angry face was about to bleed, Zhao Jin got up, came to the table of the nest with the wine glass, gave a deep salute, and raised the wine glass to the center of his eyebrows.

Wo Beitai also got up to return the salute, and the two looked at each other, and each drank the contents of the cup.

Immediately, Zhao Jin snapped the wine glass and squatted on the table.

Several Talgar girls, who were also tall and well-dressed, ran to the center of the field, and under the leadership of the county lord Zhaojin, they shouted in unison, "Hey, hey!" Then the girls lined up, crossed their hands on their waists, twisted their shoulders, and began to sing the toast of the ranger, and danced.

Although the minds of everyone in the room were not on the song and dance, it was clear that the atmosphere in the tent gradually eased with the dancing skirts and melodious singing of the girls.

After a toast, Zheda returned to the previous topic, "Second Prince, it is precisely in order to help King Liangmuha's southern expedition plan, this time I specially ordered Zhao Jin to personally put on the battle, so as to assist you to step on Mo Nan, you see, with her by your side, my Nanyuan warriors will naturally die with me." ”

"King Zheda, where have all your ranger warriors gone, and you would let a woman charge into battle?"

"What's wrong with women? Could it be that Hasuya's troops command the three armies, and they don't look at the ability to kill the enemy, but value their status?" Although Zhao Jin sang and danced sweetly when he toasted, when he argued, his words were full of gunpowder.

"What do you mean by that?" Listening to the county lord of Zhaojin mocking his boss, the guards who had been standing behind the Wo Beitai were furious and stepped forward, wanting to seek justice for their master.

Here, Talga's guards immediately rushed into the room, guarding in front of the county lord, "What do you want to do?"

The warriors of the rangers were like fire, and seeing that a fire was about to break out in the tent, Zheda did not know how to appease him, but Wobetai calmly waved his hand and stopped his guards.

"The county lord is right, a wolf king can lead a flock of sheep into an invincible bear, and a sheep can also turn a wolf pack into a slaughter. Since the county lord is also in favor of this, why don't we follow the rules of the grassland and make a decision?"

"Okay, thank you for the justice of the second prince, then heaven decides. ”

Zheda on the side looked at the two young people in front of him as if he didn't exist at all, on the one hand, he was his much-loved wayward daughter, and on the other hand, he was the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, and he didn't know what to do, so he sighed and comforted himself secretly, "At least the two sides won't draw their swords directly in their own tents." ”

It is a common method of resolving disputes on the grassland. Force, naturally, the two sides wrestle in accordance with the agreed way, each showing their own housekeeping skills, and the decision of heaven is the responsibility of the winner in order to take care of the face of the loser, and the result of the competition is said to be God's choice.

This is one of the most modest ways to resolve disputes.

"Okay, to have the opportunity to fight with the warriors under your second prince, this is also our Talgar's honor, come on, let's drink this cup together, and when the wind and snow outside are over, let's communicate and learn." ”

Finally, the tent once again sounded the sound of staggered laughter, under the explanation of the king of Nanyuan, Zheda, a jar of high-quality wine continued to fill the wine glasses in front of the guests. The grassland was already short of food, let alone impossible to make wine, and these good wines were transported back from the Great Xia Kingdom by Jebecuo's camel caravan across the 500-mile desert.

It is rare for Wobettai's subordinates to have the opportunity to drink such a rich and mellow wine, and Wobettai can just vent his dissatisfaction with Zheda on this glass of wine, and rarely indulge his subordinates to show their strength to the master on the wine table.

The feast lasted until midnight, and when everyone was drunk, and listening to the sound of the wind and snow outside the tent, Zheda instructed his servants to move the guests to the yurt prepared for them in advance.

When only his daughter Zhaojin was left in the tent, Zheda finally couldn't help complaining,

"You say you, let your father say what is good about you? Why do you have to target Wobeitai everywhere, since he has agreed to the conditions of being a father, why do you have to rush out to make a decision?"

The county lord of Zhaojin was also slightly drunk at the moment, and the pink cheeks under the firelight had spread to her neck, she didn't care about Zheda's complaints, and looked at Zheda with drunken eyes.

"Father, in the past, you were a Talgar warrior who stood up to the sky in my heart, but now, why don't you even have the courage to protect your own people. You are also the king of the nine divisions of Nanyuan, obey Hasuya's words, and then give our warriors away, who else will be willing to listen to you in the future?"

Zheda lowered his head and pondered for a while, "Having said that, but let's not talk about others, just the second prince's riding and archery martial arts, who can be against us on the grassland?

"Since this is the case, everyone thinks that Wobetai can't be defeated, so we don't have to worry about losing the heavenly decision. If you lose, it's a matter of course, but what if you win? Isn't that a panacea?"

Zheda looked at the little county lord who had always been favored, and suddenly felt a little lost inexplicably, "This little princess is also sixteen years old, not only is the brilliance of the person's appearance dazzling, but even this mind has her own youthful demeanor." ”

If it weren't for the elixirs of the Guru, I am afraid that I would be like an ordinary old man in his fifties or sixties, faltering and old. By the way, thinking of this, Zheda suddenly thought that it was time to ask the teacher for medicine again.

Although the county lord of Zhaojin is no longer strong enough to drink, her heart is not confused, and what she is worried about is not in case she wins. What she was thinking about was that Talgar must not lose.
