Chapter 37 Gap
General Wang is not surnamed Wang, but surnamed "Shaobai" and Wang. He is not a general of a certain country, but the leader of a steppe tribe, to be precise, the leader of the "Shaobai tribe". The word "general" originated from Zhongzhou, and he took it to make his name when he saw its majesty, so he had the name of "General Wang".
The Shaobai tribe is not the most powerful in the grassland, but its large number of people, the vastness of the pastures, and the robustness of the horses are the envy of other tribesmen.
In general, the Shaobai tribe can afford to memorize the words "strong soldiers and strong horses".
Now the new leader has lofty ambitions, and under his proposition, he rejects the snow sea in the east and the south to swim in the velvet, imitates the eastern countries to gather the young and strong men of the tribe in one place for unified training, and forms an army, such a military concept is unique in the steppe.
Repair the capital city, occupy pastures, attack frequently, and in just a few years, there is a faint pattern of the first tribe of the grassland.
Although he built himself a general's mansion and built a capital, in the final analysis, the "nomadic" bloodline deeply affected him after all, so he spent as much time in the tent as he did in the general's mansion.
About fifteen miles away from the capital, there is a lush pasture. A large tent was erected on the pasture, and many small tents were scattered next to it, and two or three hundred people often trained on the pasture.
In the center of the tent sat a man on a woolen blanket, wearing a mink velvet hat, two sword eyebrows soldered on his face like a soldering iron, a pair of black pupils were clean and bright, a high nose bridge and thin lips, and a pair of mustaches.
In front of him, a pot of charcoal was burned in an iron box, and an iron plate was placed on the charcoal fire, and in it lay a roasted whole sheep that had just been brought up and was still bubbling with atmosphere.
The man looked at the people under the seat, and saw that the food was all set on the table, so he raised his hand slightly to signal for eating.
Most of the people in the seat are relatively good players in training, and the nomads are already bold, so although they talk a lot, they are never polite, and since the leader lets them eat, they will open their stomachs and fill them in. For a while, the sound of cutting mutton, pouring wine, clinking glasses, and talking was noisy and lively.
Seeing this, the man in the center also showed a bold smile on his face. I saw that he didn't use a knife, he directly stretched out his hands to hold the two hind legs, and no matter how hot it was, he tore it so hard and twisted one off.
The man eats a lot and is fast, and it is not long before a leg of mutton goes down to the stomach, and he lifts a pot of milk wine next to him, and he doesn't need a container for wine, so he drinks it mouth-to-mouth.
After three rounds of drinking, the old man stood up and bowed to the man when he saw that everyone had almost eaten.
"General, when you come in, you have frequently stepped into my southern grassland, I don't know how the general will deal with it?"
The old man who spoke was called Shao Baiqing, tall and thin, with a little pale skin, and always looked a little different from the grassland man, but he was a native of Shao Bai, like a fake.
The young man next to him was slightly drunk, and he took it without waiting for General Wang to speak: "Old man Qing, this is not simple? As long as the general gives an order, I Shao Baijun and three hundred warriors can arrest the King of Yourong, do you believe it?"
The surrounding men often train together on weekdays, and at this moment, they all echoed what their companions said, and a few even stood up and rolled up their sleeves, rubbing their waists with their hands and shouting that they were going to pick up the head of the King of Velvet to drink now.
General Wang couldn't stop laughing when he saw that Erlang was so heroic, and finally threw the leftover mutton bones in his hand to the ground: "My Shaobai clan's man is so brave and really makes me happy, but I can't deal with things by force, after all, this Yourong has always been strong, and now with the support of Ximing Kingdom, we must not be careless!"
Everyone quieted down when they saw the leader talking like this, and it was not a big deal to say that it was just a conflict with Yourong, the main thing was that the people were hard in the background.
Another man from the seat said: "General, we really can't afford to provoke the Ximing Kingdom, but I don't think he dares to easily divide his troops into the grassland." ”
General Wang slowly got up, interested in what this man had to say.
"Shao Baigao, don't be spitting, go on. ”
Shao Baigao replied "yes" and continued: "The current situation in Ximing Kingdom is quiet and not moving. On the surface, none of the Zhongzhou countries was completely sure that they would be able to defeat the Ximing Kingdom, which was his advantage but also his fatal flaw. ”
"The Western Ming Kingdom occupies most of the Eastern Ming Kingdom, and it is the Eastern Ming Kingdom that harasses its southeastern border all the year round to contain many of its troops. However, the Western Ming Kingdom could no longer defeat the other half of the Eastern Ming Kingdom as before, although the Western Ming Kingdom had the strength to defeat the Eastern Ming Kingdom. ”
"Why is that?"
Shaobai Gao said: "After all, the Dongming Kingdom is of the same ancestry as the Zhongzhou countries, once the Dongming Kingdom is in danger of annihilation, the rest of the countries are bound to jointly send troops to gallop away, and the Ximing Kingdom can defeat the Dongming Kingdom but cannot defeat the entire Zhongzhou." ”
Speaking of this, there was a discussion in the crowd, and Shao Baiqing nodded: "That's right, but what does this have to do with our grassland?"
The crowd all turned their eyes to Shao Baigao all of a sudden, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Shaobai Gao said: "The relationship here is big, the Ximing Kingdom is surrounded by enemies, and the snow sea in the north has always been dissatisfied with the Ximing King, so the Ximing Kingdom naturally doesn't dare to care too much about Yourong's affairs." ”
Shao Baijun slapped his palm, "Haha, I'll just say just do it." ”
Shao Baigao stretched out his hand and held him: "Things are by no means so simple, now that King Luo Kang has returned to the grassland, in the end, he has been a big official in Ximing Kingdom, or the elder of King Ximing, King Ximing will definitely not see people bullying him too badly." ”
"Oh, you're not going to do that, it's not what to do, you give a word. ”
Don't say that everyone in the audience listened to it uncomfortable, and even General Wang scratched his cheeks when he heard it.
"It's easy to do, we just need to get the pasture out. ”
As soon as the words came out, they immediately aroused the opposition of a group of men, "Fart, Lao Tzu's hard-earned grassland is just given to him?"
"You've been talking about this thing for most of the day, and you're going to say such a thing?"
"No, no, no, this is not good!"
General Wang pondered for a while and said, "Shao Baigao, tell me the reason." ”
"The main reason why we don't dare to have a large-scale conflict with You Rong is because they have Ximing Kingdom behind them, if we cut this line for him, then it will be easier to do anything!"
General Wang suddenly figured out something, and laughed: "Okay, you are young and white, you are indeed tall!"
General Wang's assassination of King Luokang is of course the best, but the main purpose is to frame a false accusation and cause a conflict between King Luokang and the Western Ming Kingdom.
King Luokang's temperament He knows that as long as the planting is successful, he will definitely have a conflict with Ximingguo, as long as this relationship is broken, eating the turtle in the urn is a matter of catching turtles in the urn.
What's more, there is a signal from the sea of snow behind him doing this, and when the time comes, the victory or defeat will be obvious!
Therefore, giving up a piece of grassland is just to accelerate the power of the powerful King Luokang, so that he can use this power to clash with the Ximing Kingdom, and the downstream velvet of the war will only get weaker and weaker. If there are few people, no matter how big the pasture is, it is useless, because the pasture always needs people to guard it.
There was a sudden neighing of horses outside the tent, and a man entered the account and said a few words in General Wang's ear, and General Wang immediately stood up and briefly explained a few words to everyone and then left with the man out of the tent.
In the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion, the leader who chased Shi Yue last night was kneeling under the hall at the moment, and a few women came to peek outside the door from time to time.
These are all women who have accompanied Monk Meat before, and Monk Meat has lived here before, so General Wang didn't drive them away.
Presumably, they only saw him come back alone, but they didn't see where the master was, and they wanted to come in and ask him, but they didn't dare.
Shao Bai Shu snorted, and cursed secretly, "These sluts, you haven't been here for a day, you have thought about it, not to mention, this master is really a master when dealing with women." ”
Suddenly, the door was kicked open, "What's going on?"
It was General Wang who came in.
Shao Baishu reported the matter as it was and said: "It's the subordinates who are ineffective, please talk about the military punishment." ”
General Wang stomped his foot fiercely, so frightened that Shao Bai Shu's body fell even lower.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm not throwing a tantrum at you. Even the master can't do anything about this, what can you do. ”
"Fortunately, the master is still chasing and killing, and the situation is not too bad. ”
"In this case, you will take another hundred men and set off to assist the master at once. ”
Shao Baishu took the order and left, but General Wang's heart kept beating the drum. Xue Hai did instruct him to be cautious in this matter, so he has always been very careful when selecting personnel, and it is really because of this that Shi Yue, who is a member of Xue Hai, joined this operation.
But everyone died, but she was the only one who survived, and she survived with the swordsman invited by King Luokang, which has to be doubtful.
Now it seems that King Luo Kang has already believed that it is Ximing Kingdom who is going to poison him, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, he must kill Shi Yue as soon as possible.
