Li Qitian and Qin Huaiyuan discussed countermeasures, but in the end they did not come to a conclusion.
In the end, it can only be used in the context of the letter of credentials. It can't express the fear of the Tartars and the loss of national prestige, and it must be clear of the relationship between Anarizhi's affairs.
The letter of credentials was sent to the Tatars, which naturally aroused the anger of the Tatar officials.
Everyone invited to fight, and Siqin finally got his wish and began to order people to allocate food and grass, and made preparations before the war.
In less than ten days, the food and grass will be ready. Si Qin did not publicize it with much fanfare, but arranged for a team of 100 people to dress up as businessmen and transport a large amount of food and grass to the front line.
The Jinghu Guard, who was sent by Pang Xiao to look for Qin Yining, had not yet found Qin Yining's whereabouts, but first got the news that the Tartars had secretly dispatched food and grass.
After Pang Xiao received the news, he went to see Qin Huaiyuan with a solemn expression.
"Father-in-law, my people have this news, and I'm still not sure if the saint also knows it."
Qin Huaiyuan frowned for a moment and said, "Aren't you sure if you should tell the Holy Master about this?"
Li Qitian stared at the men and horses in Pang Xiao's hands. If he told Li Qitian at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling Li Qitian that he had dispatched people to Tatar
But if you don't say that, as a Da Zhou person, he clearly detected the abnormality of the Tartar but did not tell Li Qitian. If he missed the opportunity of the war because of insufficient preparation, then the life of the soldiers would be lost.
Pang Xiao thought for a while, then said: "It's nothing to tell the sage about this. The sage has always known my stinky temper. Even if he doesn't detect my actions now, I will send someone to find Sister Yi, I'm afraid it's also his. As expected."
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "So you're going to tell the sage directly?"
"What does father-in-law think? I don't want to harm the people and soldiers at the border who lost their lives in vain."
Hearing this, Qin Huaiyuan patted Pang Xiao's shoulder.
"You can see clearly. In fact, none of these matters. If we worry too much during the ups and downs of the Huanhai Sea, we will easily lose our hearts. When we started to oppose the tyranny of the North Hebei, it was not because of how we became famous. Is it?"
Pang Xiao was moved when he heard it, and said with a smile, "What my father-in-law said is that my father-in-law sees things clearly."
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said: "You have done enough. Now the Sage is most entangled in the matter of money. What he cares most about is that if the war starts, the money is not enough, not whether it will go to war, so tell the Sage this news, It is also that we have done our duty as ministers.”
Why can't Pang Xiao understand the ridicule in Qin Huaiyuan's words
He is mocking Li Qitian's high-sounding words, and it is nonsense to feel sorry for the people, and the real worry is money!
Pang Xiao decided not to worry so much, and his mood suddenly became brighter.
"What my father-in-law said is. I don't want to look ahead and look back. Once the war begins, I believe that the Sage will definitely send me to go out. Presumably the Sage will reuse me, and he will not be too harsh on whether he has sent someone to Tatar."
"Oh?" Qin Huaiyuan said with great interest: "How can you be so sure that the Sage will definitely arrange for you to go on an expedition?"
Pang Xiao smiled and said: "Because the saint now trusts Alan very much, and the Hu Ben army that Alan now controls is guarding around Gyeonggi, and the security around him will not be reassured to anyone, and only to Alan. can rest assured.”
Li Qitian no longer trusted Pang Xiao, and after Pang Xiao fought more than 30 imperial decrees for Qin Yining, that distrust had reached its peak. How could Li Qitian, who is acquainted with his acquaintance, let the people he doubts guard his safety
Qin Huaiyuan said: "Don't think too much. The Sage will definitely not take the initiative to provoke a war, but Utkin Khan is very likely to do so. During these days, you should think about the relationship between you and the Longchung Army once the war begins. In terms of how to break in, and in terms of tactics, Siqin is a very cunning person, and it is not so easy to get benefits from him."
"What my father-in-law said is. I will consider it carefully. Then I will put the news to the saint first?" Pang Xiao respectfully reconfirmed.
Qin Huai said, "Don't be too nervous, trust your own judgment."
Pang Xiao already knew what Qin Huaiyuan was expecting, Qin Huaiyuan nodded, and he felt more confident. After telling Li Qitian that the Tatars had begun to collect and dispatch food at the border, Li Qitian looked at it with a complicated expression. After a long while, he waved his hand to let him back off.
At this time, Qin Yining's team of 800 people was cautiously bypassing the two checkpoints set up by the Tartars, and finally approached the surrounding area.
Everyone was rejoicing.
However, just when everyone thought happily that they were one step closer to success, the scouts suddenly came to report in a hurry.
"A centenary was found ahead, escorting many carriages."
Arhan asked, "Who are those people?"
"It looks like a businessman, but when I look at their stature and habits, I don't think of a businessman, but... like a group of soldiers!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone became nervous.
If it is really a soldier, it means that Siqin is very likely to use a knife!
Qin Yining couldn't help but turn pale when she heard Lu Heng explain it to her.
"This matter is no trivial matter." Qin Yining frowned and said, "Siqin did that, I already suspected his ambitions, but I didn't expect that he was really guessing, his actions seemed to be moving towards that one step by step. direction."
Qin Yining didn't say anything about Siqin's killing of Anari.
But others may not understand, but Lu Heng understands.
"The troops and horses will go ahead without food and forage. If Utkin Khan really dispatched the food and forage, I am afraid that the Tartars and Dazhou are about to go to war."
While the two were discussing in a low voice, the rest of the Minoan tribe cheered.
"There are so many baggages, no matter what Utkin Khan has to do, we just don't have enough food, not enough clothes, and not enough tents, and he is talking about robbing him!"
"Grab him! Grab him!"
The people of the tribe are excited.
When Lu Heng understood it, he couldn't help but feel amused. He covered his mouth and coughed twice, then turned to Qin Yining and said, "It seems that I think so much, it's all worth it."
"What's wrong?" Qin Yining also saw that the clansmen were in high spirits, but did not understand what they said.
Lu Heng said: "The truth is often the simplest and most straightforward. Just as the clansmen said, no matter what he wants to do, anyway, if we lack food and clothing, we should grab it first. You must know that there are so many clansmen in the back. Waiting for us to feed!"
Uncle Arhan on the side listened to Lu Heng and Qin Yining's words, he couldn't help laughing, turned around and told the news to all the clansmen.
Chaganbala and Harbala were extremely excited, and took the initiative to ask Ying to loot this batch of grain.
Seeing that the clansmen were so aggressive, Qin Yining couldn't help but say: "If those are really the grain and baggage that Utkin Khan planned to start the war, if we rob them, I'm afraid we will face severe pursuit. We must be cautious. "
