Chapter 911: Prime Minister
Chapter 911 Prime Minister
The squirmy Dagan was sent out of Xie Yuan's camp. He looked back in the wind and snow and looked at the large tents with regular layout. He was still frightened by the war he had tried out before.
It was the iron law and the power of unity that he had never seen before, and it was the flavor of Han people fighting.
The methods of fighting are different from those of the grassland peoples like them, as well as the Wei State, which has taken over the pass and occupies half of the country, and the Xianbei people, who have lost half of their national characteristics.
This is definitely not an opponent that can be easily defeated.
He withdrew his gaze, kicked the horse in the belly, and soon disappeared into the snow.
…
A few days later, he returned to the camp where he longed for Shubaida.
In the spacious golden tent, Prime Minister Shubiaoda sat on the throne, listening to Ciledagan's report.
"...Prince Xiang, this is the situation. I was captured because they were planning to capture me from the beginning to bring you a message. I sent them out to deal with the cavalry on both sides without even meeting each other.
They bypassed me and rushed over to cut off my path of retreat. There were too many of them, and those I personally took with me were all dead, leaving less than two hundred people..."
Shu Biaoda is about thirty years old, with a fleshy face, a short stature, and a somewhat big head. He is wearing a royal blue silk robe. Except for a slight difference in shape, he does not look much different from the nobles of Wei.
After listening to the report, he looked at him with a pair of angry eyes and said:
"Chiledagan, you went out this time and lost three hundred warriors at once. How many warriors do you have in total? I let you test it, not fill it with your life!"
When Ciledagan heard this, he lowered his head obediently and knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Shubiaoda looked at him for a while, then suppressed his unwillingness and anger, and softened his tone and said:
"That's all. It's our first time dealing with you. I can't blame you entirely."
Ciledagan raised his head, showing a grateful expression, his eyes were a little wet, and quickly lowered his head again, apologizing:
"This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me."
Shubiaoda didn't respond. He thought for a while and asked:
"You said they are just staying there waiting for me and are not planning to go any further, right?"
"Yes! That's what the Han man said. I have inquired and found out that he is Shen Liuzhen, a close confidant of the emperor. The Emperor of Wei almost listens to him in everything. If he is here, he is probably sent here by the Emperor of Wei."
Shubiaoda looked at the void, showed a puzzled expression, and said:
"In the past, whenever the Wei State sent people to negotiate, they had to send envoys in advance to inform them with credentials. What happened this time? They brought so many soldiers and invaded our territory of Rouran before saying they wanted to negotiate. Is it really not a trap?
?”
Ci Le was silent again, he couldn't tell himself.
"They don't have enough food and grass?" Shubiaoda asked again after a while.
"According to my subordinates' observations, there are many grain and fodder trucks parked in the middle of the camp. Not only that, I saw that the heating inside their commander's tent is made of charcoal, and the cooking fire outside is made of coal. Everything is brought.
It's plenty," Thriller said.
"Instead of asking for peace, what kind of deal can give me food? In the past few years, the Wei army has become stronger and stronger, and now even the Han people are using it in the war. They can't defeat them, so they have to send things to ask for peace... What are we talking about?"
Ci Le thought for a while and said:
"My subordinate really doesn't know. He only said that he would talk to you in person. After arriving, the location and time will be decided by the Prime Minister, and he can do it. He also said that he should bring Xin'er to Rou as soon as possible. If he arrives late,
King Ran, let’s discuss the deal with him.”
When Shu Biaoda heard this, his heart tightened.
Over the years, he led his own people and received the title of King Xiang. In fact, he and King Rouran were in charge of their own affairs. There was a slight difference in strength, but they could get by.
The people who followed him did not have high official positions, but because they were far away from King Rouran, they had enough food, clothing and freedom, they could be considered loyal.
But what if... Wei Guo has made some kind of deal with King Rouran. Every winter, there is no need to rob, but enough food and grass can be obtained, and livestock and people can survive the winter safely.
Comparing the two sides in this way, it is difficult to say whether the people who follow him can continue to be loyal.
It is difficult to survive on the grassland. Only tribes that are strong enough can survive, and more herdsmen will follow them, and then they can become stronger.
In the past, many tribes lost their population due to defeat in a battle, and became food in the eyes of other tribes. They killed them all and robbed them all, and finally disappeared completely.
Therefore, they live like wolves and must not show weakness or fatigue. If they show any signs of weakness, they will be bitten and devoured by other members of the same race.
While he was hesitating, someone suddenly came to report from outside the account, saying that King Rouran had sent someone to ask them about the outcome of the battle.
Upon hearing this, Shubiaoda raised his ears alertly, looked at the person who reported the report with bright eyes, and said displeasedly:
"I have a mole here. Just after the fight was finished, they received the news and came to ask me about the result?"
Ci Le, who was kneeling down, was startled and said quickly:
"Prince Xiang, it's not me. I just came back and I don't know anything."
"I didn't say it was you!" Shubiaoda said impatiently, "Stand aside first and don't say anything!... Let him come in!"
"Yes." Ci Le quickly stood up from the ground, turned around and stood aside honestly.
After a while, the person who came from outside to ask for news came in. He was a young man in his twenties. He was very ordinary, just an ordinary guard in King Rouran's tent.
But Shubiaoda still put on a gentle smile and asked the person who was saluting:
"It's hard work for you to come all this way. Is my uncle Wang in good health?"
The young man bowed politely, showed a gentle smile, and said:
"The great King Rouran is in good health. Thank you to the Prime Minister for remembering him. I will definitely tell the great King Rouran how much I miss him when I go back."
"Okay, okay... I have been having a hard time lately, but I have been able to get a lot of good things from the last few raids in Wei. When you go back, you can bring them to Uncle Wang for me. It is a piece of my heart."
The young guard's eyes moved, as if he was a little surprised, and then he said with a smile:
"Yes... the great King Rouran heard that the Prime Minister's army had a confrontation with the army from the state of Wei a few days ago. He asked me to ask about the situation. He also said that if manpower is needed, an army will be sent to support the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will
The king will lead the army, eat the Wei army together, and divide the spoils equally."
The smile on Shubaida's face became smaller, and his gentle expression revealed a look of consideration, and he said:
"Uncle Wang and I really have the same heart and we want to go together. If you don't come, I will send someone to ask for it.
This time Wei came with a large number of people, tens of thousands of people, not many cavalry, mainly infantry carrying spears, and they were well-equipped and brought a lot of food and grass. If I can defeat them, those trophies will definitely make me Rouran
Be even stronger."
