Yes, it is really helpless. "
Ming Yu listened very carefully, and motioned to General Wei to express the unfinished meaning of his words. General Wei's heart swayed, and he continued: "The people of Suixi Kingdom have no manners and morality, and the people's customs are tough. , whose three-year-old children can already play on horseback. They have grown up on horseback since they were young. Then evacuate quickly, if you encounter our small team, but they are not their opponents at all."
"That's it, it's really difficult." Ming Yu thought for a while, and then said: "A few days ago, the Japanese king witnessed General Xie wiped out a group of barbarian bandits in Changlan Mountain. If there are barbarian bandits invading, let Xie Wouldn’t it be possible for the general to annihilate them in one fell swoop? Hey! Speaking of which, why don’t you see people from Xie General?”
When Ming Yu mentioned this incident, he remembered that the red-robed and silver-armored official was not among the officials who came to greet him, so he asked casually.
"General Xie has important business to attend to, it is really inconvenient to come here today, please don't blame him, Your Highness." General Wei hurriedly covered for Xie Yixiu, because he was also afraid that Ming Yu would blame him, although it would not have much impact on Xie Yixiu, it would be better to do something more It's better to avoid some things if you can avoid them. To blame can only be blamed on Xie Yixiu's bad temper, he refused to come no matter what he said, making it clear that he didn't want to see His Royal Highness who had just arrived.
"It's not strange, it's not strange, haha, this king is just asking this question. The military affairs are urgent, so don't delay because of this king, otherwise this king will die." Ming Yu joked with a smile. To be honest, this person has already offended me by avoiding him earlier. He is not a narrow-minded person, and he would not blame him for such a trivial matter. What's more, even though he is a prince, it is impossible for him to have too much power over the officials appointed by the court.
He clicked his tongue, what did this man say? It left a deep impression on him, and he could already see that this person's indifference seems to have soaked into his bones. He only needs to stand there, and he can freeze others into ice sculptures. This kind of person is mostly out of gregarious people. Therefore, it would be unbelievable if General Xie appeared here.
General Wei shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to answer Ming Yu's question, "General Xie's red-robed army is indeed unparalleled, but using General Xie's 5,000 troops to deal with such a small group of rogues is really overkill. After the small group of rogues entered the country, their travel routes were really tricky and weird, unpredictable, and it often took a large number of people to hunt them down. Moreover, the brigade of Suixi Kingdom outside the pass was still eyeing them, and they would still have some scruples about the Red Robe Army. The army is desperate to clear up these rogue bandits, I'm afraid they will fall into a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain."
The Red Robe Army is no different than other armies, it is the elite among the elites of the entire frontier army. A good sword must be used wisely. When the war is most critical, dispatching the Red Robe Army is the key to victory.
If it weren't for the arrival of King Duan and his party, the former bandits would not have needed the red-robed army to wipe them out. Although it will take a little time and effort, the risks are within the controllable range.
After General Wei said so much, Ming Yu finally understood that the Red Robe Army deserved to be well-known both at home and abroad, and it seems that only the Red Robe Army can take action in the Great Yan Kingdom.
"Although the Red Robe Army is very strong, it only has 5,000 troops, which is a bit small. Why don't you train more Red Robe Army, so that you still have to be afraid of the Suixi Kingdom?" Spirit. If there were 50,000 red-robed troops, they would have attacked the royal court of Suixi Kingdom long ago. Where would there be a confrontation
In the eyes of these bigwigs, Ming Yu's question is very trivial, but they have to explain, "Your Highness's words are wrong. Your Highness knows that the military expenditure of the 5,000 people of the Red Robe Army is more than three times that of ordinary infantry. Not to mention how much extra military expenses would be spent by adding one more person, but just to say that the horses equipped by each of the red-robed army are all good BMW horses. Your Highness knows that Dayan does not produce good horses like the Suixi Kingdom, so we can gather together It’s not easy for these five thousand good horses.”
Ming Yu finally understood that only the cavalry of the Red Robe Army were the guardians of Dayan. Although Dayan had a large army, they were mainly infantry. As for the infantry against the cavalry of the Shangyi people, it was to deliver food. When the cavalry charged, it was no problem to chop melons and vegetables. They were able to protect the frontier of Dayan for so many years, and they contributed a lot.
While speaking, a group of people had already entered Liangcheng, Ming Yu looked around, this ancient city witnessed the long-standing war. Under the erosion of the years, it has already been riddled with holes, and the dilapidated city walls have been repaired year after year, standing tall. Pedestrians in the city are busy in twos and threes, and many houses have been in disrepair for a long time because no one lives there.
Dilapidated, depressed, these are the only words Ming Yu can think of. Thinking that this place will be his territory from now on, he has an urge to help his forehead, but he really didn't expect it to be in such a situation. He had also thought about the situation of Liangcheng, but anyway, this is also the largest city in the border area, and it is regarded as a strategic place. No matter how to fight, the city here is high and deep, and even if it is affected, it will not be much hindrance. But it is like this.
At the beginning, I chose this place because I wanted to stay away from the disputes in the capital, and I didn't want to attract too much attention. This place is great, as a transfer station on the Silk Road, if you want this place to be a territory, it will develop into a trading city in the future, and you can make money every day while sitting, and you will never lose money. Moreover, because the emperor suffered too much from choosing this place, he also subsidized a lot from his private treasury, and raised the three hundred guards who were originally named kings to five hundred. He thought he had made a profit, but was shocked by reality after all. It's because he lost a lot of money!
It's good now, there is no way out, so I can only bite the bullet and rush forward. I choose by myself, even if I have tears in my eyes, I have to swallow it by myself.
Master Liu saw Ming Yu's expression and knew what he was thinking. He smiled and comforted him and said, "Your Highness, Liangzhou City is considered good. This is just the outer city. The inner city is relatively prosperous, and there is Hu Ji Danglong. Selling wine, there is something exotic about it, you can't see it in the capital, your Highness might as well go and see it when the time comes."
Orchid? foreigners

Ming Yu was really interested when he heard it, and asked in surprise, "Hu Ji? I don't know where she came from?"
"To the west of the Suixi Kingdom, there are many other kingdoms, large and small, such as the Wan Kingdom, the Madan Kingdom, the Huhu Kingdom... etc. I know about a dozen of them."
Ming Yu's gloomy mood finally improved, very good, and it was not far from what he learned, "Not bad, when the time comes to settle down, I must go and see this exotic atmosphere."
Everyone who heard this couldn't help but smile. The prince from the capital really has a young heart, and he is also very curious when he encounters novelty gadgets.
Only General Wei's face was filled with impatience and contempt. The soldiers in the front were working hard, bleeding and sweating, but the people in the rear only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. If he hadn't had to weigh the pros and cons in this position, he would have waved his sleeves and left long ago. It's no wonder that Xie Xiaozi would rather accept the mission to inquire about the enemy's situation than come here.
Liu Zhifu has a deep friendship with General Wei, knowing the temperament of General Wei, he secretly gave him a wink, telling him to be calm, but he brought up other topics.
Civil servants and military generals generally hate each other, and each looks down on the other. You think I am a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill, and I think you are full of sour words. Prefect Liu was able to meet General Wei because they both came from the same place, so they are naturally closer than ordinary people.
The two secretly hinted that Ming Yu didn't know about it, and it was another scene when they entered the inner city. There are also more people doing small business here, and the noisy and chaotic voice penetrates into the eardrums, and there is more prosperity and fireworks.
There were guards clearing the way, and the group moved quickly. Many people saw this formation and knew that it was a big shot. The people here have never seen such a scene, and many people stopped to watch curiously.
Ming Yu is very pleased, this is what a city should look like. Although it is not as prosperous and lively as the towns in the Central Plains, it is still popular after all.
"This is a war-torn place in the frontier, why would there be barbarians from other countries coming here?" Ming Yu was still a little strange, logically speaking, this place is a dangerous place, with ten rooms and nine empty spaces, many people want to leave this place.
"Your Highness does not know that most of these barbarians came here to do business, or they also came out of the civil war. Although there are wars here from time to time, Liangcheng is relatively stable anyway, so there are more barbarians coming to Liangcheng .” Master Liu explained.
Because the people in the hinterland of the Central Plains don't know much about the Hu people and have deep prejudices, these Hu people dare not take the risk to go there. They can only do business in Liangcheng. The people here have long been accustomed to the Hu people, so many people have settled here.
Ming Yu's eyes were bright, "Business? To come here, you have to pass through Suixi Kingdom. Does Suixi Kingdom care about these barbarians?"
"Hu people generally don't have anyone to control them when they pass through Suixi country, and some small countries surrender to Suixi country, so the barbarian people in Suixi country also turn a blind eye to them." An accompanying official who knows more about this area explained for Ming Yu confused.
Ming Yu nodded, already had some vague thoughts in her heart, but now that she was new here, no matter what thoughts she had, she could only let them go temporarily. It seems that it is still necessary to find an official who knows the border area by his side so that he can ask questions at any time.
This request was made to Liu Zhifu, but Liu Zhifu did not refuse
