Rong Suihe still smiled softly and said: "Forty thousand war horses, I said I couldn't get them, and I believed it. But Ruru Ruming's war horses in Western Xinjiang should be more than 40,000, right?"
He raised his leg, patted Na Fuzhen on the shoulder, and said kindly, "How about all the captures from this battle be deducted from the 40,000 horses?"
"..." Na Fuzhen opened his mouth, and after a while, he said with difficulty, "Ruru horses are growing up on their backs. Begging for their war horses is equivalent to begging for their lives! What's more, he said before, even if a serious war horse is Ruru is not everywhere! You plan to seize 40,000 war horses, then... are you trying to shake the foundation of Ruru country! Are you... are you planning to annihilate Ruru?!"
"Isn't that an impossible thing?" Rong Suihe shook his head and said, "Gu Ruming is still in his infancy. I wonder if the Western Xinjiang army has been fighting to the death for so long. Not to mention the Southern Xinjiang army, whether the Northern Xinjiang army is dedicated to resisting. Those who were cultivated by us actually watched with cold eyes and understood clearly that Da Mu's situation alone was similar to mine, and he was deeply tabooed by those in power."
"Then, if we, Ruru, are defeated in Western Xinjiang to the point where the main force is destroyed, I think the Northern Xinjiang army will not take the advantage and simply go to the grassland to find our king's tent?!"
"Gu Gu worked hard, devoted himself, and worked hard... but in the end, their achievements and strength were fulfilled. In the end, they even used their credit and strength to wrongly compensate Gu. I think Gu is so taken advantage of?"
Na Fuzhen swallowed his saliva and said: "Then you plan to...how do you plan to mistreat Ruru's main force?"
"Gu has just transferred a group of human legs from the Western Xinjiang Army, and plans to cultivate them as direct descendants." Rong Suihe said softly, "There will be no need for more for the time being. Let Ruru leave 20,000 horses in the East, at least 8,000 I am satisfied with my war horse."
Na Fuzhen said: "Twenty thousand horses is no problem, but eight thousand horses are too many!"
He said hurriedly, "He also has some knowledge of the current situation in Damu! The King of Gaomi and the Meng family have been fighting against each other for many years. Although you, the king, have risen rapidly, in the end, your time is too short and your foundation is shallow. Once they join forces, they will pay you by mistake. , you are in danger! Please know that the Northern Xinjiang Army has only 40,000 elite cavalry in total. The horses in their legs are falsely claimed to be 200,000, but in fact they are not even 80,000!"
"In that case, you got eight thousand horses for one thing, but they got one-tenth of what they got!"
"Do you think that regardless of whether the King of Gaomi is Meng or not, he will not be jealous?"
"When the time comes, God knows what kind of legs will be used to share the moisture!"
"So, it's hard to say that all your plans to bring Dong Lai back have gone awry, right?"
"Furthermore, Ruru Liudong has so many war horses, it is easy to give the Northern Xinjiang Army and the old guys in Da Mu Chaotang a wrong impression. If Ruru is very good at fighting, it will be fake!"
"You had already decided to give up Yizhou at that time. Even if you win again a few months later, it will inevitably cause people to misunderstand your capabilities! After all, the King of Gaomi and the Meng family will never miss the opportunity to smear you. No?"
"It's very possible. What if, as you said, King Gaomi and Meng misjudged Ruru's strength, thought they had an advantage, and decided to send troops to the northern expedition... Even after he returns, he won't be able to attack Dengchen Liyu by mistake, and he will definitely be defeated. Please help him get through this difficult time!”
"In this case, of course he won't be able to get you war horses from Ruru on a large scale!"
"Excuse me, the Western Xinjiang Army is so ruined. Even after being eliminated by those who defended the city during the month of confinement, you may not be able to gather enough people to use 40,000 war horses, right?" War horses consume a lot of money. If you are just starting out, you will probably not have enough grooms to take care of them. I want to know that war horses are very valuable. If you put them in the lap of a layman, no matter how powerful the horse is, it will become a waste! "
"So you didn't have to collect so many war horses at that time!"
"It's worse than that: first get a group of ordinary horses and train the soldiers!"
"After he returns, he will take care of Tokitomi Riyu, and then quietly send you a war horse. By then, you will probably have almost found a groom and so on. Wouldn't that be good?"
Rong Suihe looked at him with a smile but not a smile, and said: "So, if Gu Xiangqiu Zhanma, you have to support me first to replace Denchen Riyu?"
"That's not to say he wants to plot against you." Nafu said sincerely, "Although you hid the fact that he led his troops to surrender, the fact is that there are too many people in his lap. , even if they have been his confidants for many years, they may not have the eyewitness of Denchen Liyu. Are they like Sheng Shixiong, who are willing to die for Ruru from the bottom of their hearts? So if you let him go, he will definitely Don’t take everyone away!”
"Otherwise your confidentiality will be meaningless!"
"Otherwise, he can choose some absolutely trustworthy people to go back with him!"
"Among them, Tuluti chose Liudong, because he was badly injured when he arrived. The doctor at Damu was much better than the wizard Qiu in the grassland. He was recovering from his injuries there, and he felt that it would be better than being brought back by him. Good Ruru; secondly, although there are people he left behind who came from the East, although he cannot completely trust them, they are probably not his right-hand men who have been with him through life and death for so many years, so he cannot let their hearts be cold because of caution."
"So he must leave Dongturuti to set an example for them, to prove that he does not distrust them, and if not, he must not let Denchenli doubt it!"
"Then, without Tuluti by his side, he feels like he has lost an arm, and from Ruru's point of view, if he returns in defeat, his reputation will inevitably drop, and he will inevitably face accusations and accountability from Denchen Riyu!"
"Please, can I send you a war horse immediately? I won't kill anyone if I ascend the throne, right?"
Rong Suihe smiled and said: "No question. At that time, will I be willing to give war horses to Gu? Gu is afraid that I will in turn give people and horses to the Northern Xinjiang Army or something, and kill people with a borrowed knife!"
"He is willing to send his own son as a hostage!" Nafu Zhen said, "His eldest son is the most important to him. His biological mother is his first wife, the pearl of Monalou family. You know, Monalou family has great kindness to him. In his most difficult time, he married his most ruthless daughter to the east. He once swore that if he took back the throne from Denchen Liyu's leg one day, the crown prince would definitely be of Monalou's bloodline! So after the eldest son was born, He had put almost all his efforts into his life. Before going into battle, he had even told his subordinates that if he had any shortcomings, they would support him to replace him! Then Tokitatsu Riyu would not be able to withstand the crowd. Because of the people questioning him, does he have any heirs? But if he is leaderless, once something happens to him, he will be in disarray! As for the safety of his son, he will never betray you! "
Rong Suihe's smile did not change and he said: "Ah, no, I don't believe it. After all, he, the emperor of Damu, does not care about his flesh and blood. Who knows if I am the same?"
Na Fuzhen said angrily: "Is our Emperor of Damu a special case? Tiger poison is very bad at eating children. How can anyone not feel sorry for his own flesh and blood?"
"Well, neither does my father." Rong Suihe said regretfully, "I see that Gu Zaizhou is so willing to risk his life until the bright moon, but the court is indifferent. Apparently the King of Gaomi not only doesn't care about Gu's life or death, he even cares about Gu's life and death. I wish I could use our Ruru’s legs to kill him! I said Gu’s life is so miserable, as the saying goes, people are divided into groups, but who knows if the eldest son I sent as a hostage will suffer the same fate as Gu?”
Na Fuzhen secretly vomited a mouthful of blood and said: "Your Majesty and our Damu Emperor are not brothers, so it is not normal. How can other families be the same? Look at your county princess, it is said that she is deeply loved by her natal father. Do you love me as much as you treat me like a treasure?"
Rong Suihe smiled: "But can Princess Gu Na's natal grandfather personally use her as bait?"
He patted Na Fuzhen's shoulder affectionately and said, "Come, tell me carefully who are the people who gave me the information. Is there any way to help me trick them? If there is no way, I can't help you. Give me more information." Hundreds of war horses comfort Dong, but Gu Bufei is very good at shutting up."
... When bargaining was high in the mountain col, North Xinjiang, Gongsun Xi hurried into the guest house and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A girl's voice came from the room. She asked as she had already opened the door. Seeing him, she knelt down and asked for greetings. Gongsun Xi frowned and asked, "Is your Majesty here? Can you please close the door?" Mouth?"
The little maid in front of me went and said, "Your Majesty is drinking tea with Mrs. Feng in the back room. I'll go in and ask if you can come in first to take shelter from the wind and snow! Is it not that cold in northern Xinjiang at that time? Is it uncomfortable in the east corridor?" .”
At that time, Sheng Weiqiao inside had heard the noise and asked Yishan to come out and ask.
When he heard that Gongsun Xi was coming, he said, "Tell him to come in, he's on his way out."
Gongsun Xiyu took off his fur coat and walked in. He picked a seat in Didong and left. After a while, Sheng Weiqiao came out with Mrs. Feng. Seeing him frowning, he asked in surprise, "What? Something happened?"
"..." Gongsun Xi didn't shut up and looked around first.
Sheng Weiqiao understood and asked everyone in the East to go out. Xuanyu Feng also stood up and said, "Let's talk."
When there were only three masters and servants left in the room, Gongsun Xi watched Yishan make himself a cup of hot tea, then returned behind Sheng Weiqiao, stood up with his legs folded, and then said: "The king has something to do, and he has sent people from the north of Xinjiang, who belong to the east." By the way, I took a look at the order and found out that Fuzhen and his lone army had penetrated deep into the eastern part of Damu, and they were all in the lap of the prince, so I came here to report to the empress!"
"What?" Sheng Weiqiao whispered, covering his mouth in surprise, "Did he really do it? How did he do it?"
Gongsun Xi said: "The order is very urgent. The king has no time to say more, so he just told the truth. The question now is, in the past two months, due to Chang'an, the Gaomi King officially impeached the Meng family for colluding with Ruru to intercept and kill you. , it is very likely that Northern Xinjiang is also full of such rumors, and they are making a big fuss. If Meng also knows about this, he will probably be caught by the prince out of worry, so that he can do you harm and use you to go. Exchange with the prince!"
Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said: "That uncle has already told him, but I also know the situation at that time. If there is nothing we can do, we can just take it one step at a time."
After a pause, he asked again, "Wrong, I just said that Mi Zhen had something to do and sent people from the north of Xinjiang, but I don't know what the order was?"
Gongsun said happily: "About the layout of the grassland... The prince has not announced the news of Na Fuzhen's capture. He plans to take a long-term approach to catch big fish. At that time, the whole plan is almost completed, and he does not intend to continue to hold Na Fuzhen captive." . As for that man, after all, he is Prince Ruru. Even if he has a deep hatred with Ruru Ruming’s Khan Denchen Liyu, the whole Ruru is not without feelings.”
"If Prince Ming has frequent contact with him, it would be easier to persuade him."
"I'm afraid that after he returns to the grassland, he will forget the prince's advice and lose control, so I plan to give him a longer memory."
Sheng Weiqiao asked: "What kind of memory is it?"
"For example, tell Tengchen Riyu the time and route that Fuzhen will return to the grassland?" Gongsun said happily, "Anyway, let him know clearly that if he doesn't do what the prince said, he will definitely not get anything good. It won’t help if the situation and Ruru’s outcome are wrong.”
He added, "Furthermore, doing this can also make our people have a good impression in front of Totatsu Riyu. Maybe it will be useful in a month."
Sheng Weiqiao thought for a while: "Is it because Mi Zhen doesn't want Na Fu Zhen to know about the matter?"
Gongsun said happily: "No. The prince said that Nafu Zhen is very good. He has the idea of completely conquering the wrong party, so he must maintain the upright image in Nafu Zhen's mind."
"... That's really pitiful!" The corner of Sheng Weiqiao's mouth twitched, but did he remember the various actions that Rong Suihe did when he called Sheng Suihe and vowed to be a "good brother"? How could he not do it? Good brother, why don't you just force yourself to be a good sister who is considerate and doesn't get angry no matter how you tease or tease her? She has absolutely no temper at all, okay
Gongsun Xicuo was very dissatisfied with what she said, and instead said: "My queen, you can't say that! Prince Cuo Leg Dong has always been very good!"
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at him sideways: "How is this a bad idea? Without telling Na Fuzhen, he secretly sent people to Northern Xinjiang to dig holes for Na Fuzhen's return. Maybe he took the time to be his savior... Is that good?"
Gongsun Xi was silent for a while and then decisively changed the subject: "The prince doesn't know the news about you in Northern Xinjiang until now, but the person who came to Northern Xinjiang to deliver the message was not from the Wuyi camp. He was hiding from others all the way. Go, there is no news from the outside world, but as soon as I entered Jizhou City, I heard about your affairs there. Although I can’t come to see you due to the confidentiality of my identity, your secret message in northern Xinjiang must have been flown to western Xinjiang. On the way!"
Sheng Weiqiao: "..."
