Duo Dun's face was pale, regretting that he had brought too few troops, he never thought that the Dragon King would mobilize 10,000 troops in just a few days, let alone that the always cowardly Shule people would dare to face the Beiting cavalry.

"Is the Dragonlord very good at fighting?" asked Dotun beside him.

Liman was pardoned, but he was the only one of the prince's companions, dressed in cloth, without armor, and not allowed to carry a dagger with a handle, which was a public humiliation for the people of Beiting, especially for the general's son.

But Liman was still grateful for the prince's magnanimity, and was even more convinced that he had to tell the truth, "As far as I know, the dragon king is not good at battles, and the three thousand strikers are defeated by themselves and not by the enemy. ”

Dotun snorted, but he still somewhat agreed with Liman.

The three thousand Beiting cavalry who acted as the vanguard did not suffer many casualties, and they fled before they were completely surrounded, and they were extremely embarrassed, and they did not have the true colors of the prairie men at all.

The first group of people who fled back described the battle as very thrilling, and in their mouths, the Dragon King seemed to lead fifty or sixty thousand people, relying on absolute superiority, and suddenly surrounded the unsuspecting Beiting army, and it was not easy for them to escape.

Soon, the second group of hundreds of cavalry brought back another scene, they were taken prisoner and then released by the dragon king, and saw with their own eyes that there were about 10,000 people, most of them armed with swords and guns, and there were not many archers, and they admitted that both sides charged at the same time, and there was no question of who provoked first.

It is on the basis of the second statement that Liman came to the conclusion, "Distance is the basis of cavalry shooting, and our army made a great mistake by charging at the enemy army with 3,000 men against 10,000 men." ”

Of course, Dotun understood this truth, but he couldn't admit it, because it was he who had previously ordered that no matter whose army he encountered, he would first defeat it and then ask about the origin, in his prediction, the Dragon King would bring at most five thousand people, or even less, and it would definitely not be the opponent of the three thousand Beiting cavalry.

He didn't want to kill the Dragon King, he just wanted to show his strength, but it backfired, and he actually gave the Dragon King a chance to train his troops.

Several partners know the cause and effect of the matter, and they all know that His Royal Highness needs to break the siege at this moment, "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and several strikers are defeated by the enemy's main force, which is nothing, and the main force of our army is also 10,000 people, which is considered evenly matched, and if we fight again, our army will win." ”

The generals asked for battle, but Don still looked at Liman, "What do you think?"

"The Dragon King is an ally, not to fight. ”

"What ally?" one of his companions shouted angrily, "Doesn't the Dragon King recognize the North Court Cavalry? ”

"We didn't recognize the Crow Banner either. Liman calmly pointed out this, "Since it is all a temptation, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, and the battle just now can be obscured, and it will be irreversible if there is another war." ”

"So what? Sooner or later, it's better to take this opportunity to get rid of the trouble of your henchmen. Another companion said, Don didn't speak much, so his subordinates spoke for him, "Your Highness will enter the grassland next year to pacify the North Court, and the Shule Kingdom behind it must not be left to the Dragon King." ”

"There is nothing wrong with taking the North Court by Sheshule, although the Dragon King is proud, he keeps his promise that he will occupy the south of the Tianshan Mountains, which is more credible than Jinpeng Castle. ”

"Ha, you are fascinated by the Dragon King, everyone in the world knows that the Dragon King is as unscrupulous and untrustworthy as Jinpeng Castle, only you say that he is credible. ”

"I also think the Dragon King is credible. Azheba, who had been silent, interjected, "The most important thing is that he can stop the Central Plains people from defending the Western Regions." ”

The two factions were at loggerheads before Dotun, when a knight drove up the opposite hillside, and soon came forward, and the messenger of the dragon king asked for an audience.

Long Chuanyun served as a messenger, and after dismounting, he just nodded and did not bow down, "The Dragon King said that the battle just now was a misunderstanding, and we thought that we had encountered the Jinpeng Army, and presumably your army was the same, so the Dragon King suggested that the war be stopped." The Dragon King also said that it was better to meet by chance than to invite each other, and invited His Highness to review our army. ”

The dragon king did not apologize in the slightest, and the generals were even more annoyed and made accusations one after another.

Dotun waited for a while, raised his horsewhip, and motioned to his subordinates to silence, "Go back and tell the Dragon King that since it was a misunderstanding, it doesn't matter if you stop fighting." Autumn is cool, I'm out hunting, it seems that the dragon king also has this hobby, maybe the prey is still the same, just review the army, let's discuss how to get the prey to whom. ”

When Long Chuanyun brought back to Dodun, Gu Shenwei finally confirmed that the people of Beiting not only knew that the Dragon King led his army north, but also knew about the large wealth of the Meng family.

The meeting took place on the top of a hill between the two armies, with a dozen men on each side, and Dodun's companion reminded him that the dragon king was a killer in the past, but he did not care, "He who holds the sword of a king will never play with the narrow knife of a killer, and ...... He didn't dare kill me. ”

Dotun showed bravery to his subordinates, and showed unprecedented enthusiasm for the Dragon King, even embracing him with open arms, "There seem to be a lot of misunderstandings between us recently. ”

"From strangers to allies, all kinds of misunderstandings are inevitable, but you and I are still allies, which shows that the relationship is unbreakable. ”

The two of them walked around in the jungle of clichés, the sky was about to dark, and Duo Dun provoked the conversation first, "I got the news that the Meng clan, the rich man of Biyu City, wants to deliver a batch of scarce goods to the Shule Kingdom, and I want to requisition them all, there is a war in the North Court, and the Western Regions cannot stay out of the matter, and it is also appropriate to have some blood." ”

"It's a coincidence, I got the same news, and I have already sent someone to step on it, and they are now with the Meng family's goods. ”

"Haha, it's even more coincidental that I've sent a thousand cavalry to take over the convoy and escort the cargo towards us. ”

"It seems that we have all put in the effort, and none of us want to let go. ”

Dotun put away his smile, neither he nor the Dragon King would open the door to each other, the cliché was purely superfluous, "I need this shipment, but I'm not greedy, since we are still allies, let's take a step back, I take seventy percent and you take three percent, you know, my burden is much heavier than yours." ”

Gu Shenwei thought for a while, this batch of goods was designed by him to be shipped out of Biyu City, and Duo Dun just came to pick up ready-made cheap, "His Royal Highness the prince has a lot of soldiers, but the territory is much larger, our army is just starting, and it is in urgent need of supplies, so it's better for me to be six or four......"

The two of them were like businessmen, and finally decided to divide them into five and a half, and each got half.

Gu Shenwei didn't want to act rashly, he could exert pressure to fight for his position, but breaking up for no reason would make him lose the support he had so hard to gain in Beiting.

As for Dodun, as the son of the Khan, he did not worry about the loyalty of the Beiting people, but he had no intention of challenging it when he did not have the advantage of troops.

The next day, when it was close to noon, the two 10,000-strong troops kept a polite distance and intercepted the Meng convoy, which had been in trouble.

Shangguan Fei was already looking forward to it, and when he found that there were two armies coming in front of him, he was taken aback, and asked the old man Mu who caught up later, "What's going on? Have you seen the Dragon King?"

Old Man Mu glanced at him coldly, "Stinky boy, are you laughing at me for being short?"

"How dare you. Shangguan Fei grinned, stepped forward to look around, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "There is the flag of the Dragon King, huh, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us." ”

The Dotun army was in the north, and the convoy was in the south, and everyone understood what was going on, squatting and squatting, and putting down their weapons, only a few leaders of the small camel team felt unlucky, thinking that the most dangerous thing was to encounter robbers, but they did not expect to be robbed by the army.

Looking at the long convoy, Duo Dun was very satisfied, and he could get fifty percent of the wealth, which meant that he didn't need to worry about the Dragon King's strategy of purchasing grain and grass in the future, which was a small victory.

The Dragon King led the guards over to converge, and Duo Dun observed carefully, but there was no emotion in the ice-carved face, "It is rumored that the Meng clan in Biyu City is rich in the world, and there are more gold, silver and jewels than the old Khan King and the Central Plains Emperor, seeing this convoy, I really believe it a little." ”

"Jianghu jokes are not true. ”

"Hehe, the Dragon King has entered the tomb of the Old Khan King, is the treasure inside comparable to the Meng family?"

"I'm just a corner of the mausoleum, and I'm not qualified to judge, but the Khan King is like the moon, and the Meng family is a firefly, the two can't be said together, and the pomp and circumstance of the old Khan's palace is far stronger than Meng's. ”

The dragon king was casually perfunctory, but Dotun became more and more interested, and was about to continue to ask, when several soldiers pushed a person over, "Your Highness, this person is the leader of the team, and he has something to say." ”

Duan Zihua respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Highness is gracious, the Meng family has always been law-abiding, and there has been no delay in paying taxes and tributes, and now that the old lord has just passed away, why do you suddenly want to confiscate our goods? ”

"Pay taxes and pay tribute?" Duo Dun changed his arrogant look, "Biyu City has been out of the jurisdiction of the Ming Emperor for too long, and your so-called tax payment and tribute are just feeding the private pockets of several overseers, today, I will take back all the royal taxes you owe." People of the Western Regions, cherish your surname and step back. ”

Duan Zihua just kowtowed and begged for mercy, and several soldiers lifted him up and threw him far away on the side of the road.

Don looked at the Dragon King again, "How do you divide it?" Does the Dragon King have an idea? We Beiting people are not very good at settling accounts. ”

"The front half and the back half, His Royal Highness the Prince will pick first. ”

Don was vigilant, the dragon king seemed to have no fear, but it seemed that he was hiding some conspiracy, "This is not good, you have a car and I have a car, it is more fair and reasonable." ”

The "spoils" began, and Dotun gave the first car to the dragon king, and in this way, one by one, it was distributed, and those belonging to the dragon king moved to the south of the road, and those belonging to Dotun drove to the north of the road, and the small caravans attached to the back were spared, and the two kings were "gracious" to them.

As cold as Man, both he and Azheba supported an alliance with the Dragon King, but in front of everyone, without any communication with the Dragon King, he whispered to a companion, who glanced at Prince Dotun, pretended to check the stability of the nearest car, took out a dagger and cut the rope, and pushed one of the boxes on it to the ground.

The chest was torn apart, revealing the black iron ingots inside, none of which were gold or silver.
