The prince's goal is very clear. He doesn't want Tianwu. What he wants is Beichen's land, at least half of it.
As far as Beichen Tianque is concerned, Beichen's land is useless to him and the nobles of Beichen. It is a pity to abandon it and tasteless to eat.
Beichen occupies a large area and has a vast territory, but most of Beichen is barren and cold. The people there, no matter how hardworking they are, can only survive.
But Tianwu and Tianqi are different.
Compared with Beichen and the harsh environment in southern Xinjiang, Tianqi and Tianwu are like God's own sons. They are rich in resources and fertile land. People can live a life of plenty of food and clothing without much hard work. With a little effort, they can live a better life.
Some people are good.
The good environment of Tianqi and Tianwu makes the people of Beichen and Nanjiang jealous. The rich life of Tianqi and Tianwu also makes the people of Nanjiang and Beichen envious and jealous. They all dream of becoming the people of Tianqi and Tianwu. Beichen and Nan
The nobles and emperors of Xinjiang dreamed of conquering Tianqi and Tianwu and bringing these two places under their own territory.
Now, Beichen Tianque has conquered Tianwu. After seeing Tianwu's richness, he was reluctant to let go of Tianwu. However, for the sake of stability behind him, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and beg for peace with the prince, and seek cooperation with the prince to capture Tianwu first.
In short, he will never give up the fertile land of Tianwu.
Beichen Tianque has already thought about it. After Xiao Jiu'an joins forces with him to conquer Tianwu, he will allocate part of Tianwu's land to Xiao Jiu'an. Anyway, it is Tianwu's land, and there is nothing he can do to allocate it to Xiao Jiu'an.
Moreover, he had thought about it, so he assigned several cities near Tianqi to Xiao Jiuan. Those cities covered a large area, but they were mostly forest and rivers, so they were not suitable for human habitation or common people.
Survival, if given to Tianqi, he would not suffer a loss, but...
The prince didn't give him a chance to scheme and refuse at all. The prince asked him to go back and beat Beichen's Nan Jinzhao away first.
This is his Beichen rhythm!
Beichen Tianque is going crazy!
Seeing that he was about to eat Tianwu, he stopped now and gave Tianwu a chance to breathe. If he turned around and led his troops to fight against Tianwu, he would have to start over.
How stupid is he to give away the benefits he has obtained?
But, how about not going with the prince to fight Nan Jinzhao?
No matter what, Beichen is his country, his territory, and his rear area. The families of the soldiers he brought out are all in Beichen. If Beichen is eaten by Nan Jinzhao, if the rear area is unstable, these soldiers he brought will
Why would anyone follow him and fight on the front line?
To return or not to return?
To let go or not to let go?
This is a dilemma.
Beichen Tianque was almost angry to death, so angry that the prince was so shameless.
He, Beichen, was clearly being used. Xiao Jiuan said nicely before that as long as he defeated Tianwu, Tianwu would be his, and Tianqi and his Yanbei army would not interfere, but what about now?
Xiao Jiuan did keep his promise and did not interfere, but what is the difference between him forcing Nan Jinzhao to fight Beichen and Xiao Jiuan intervening?
Compared with Nan Jinzhao, he preferred Xiao Jiuan to fight Beichen.
Everyone knows that although Xiao Jiuan is ruthless, he is extremely strict with his subordinates and treats the people... We cannot say that he is kind, we can only say that he does not take ordinary people seriously and does not bother to fight with ordinary people. Therefore, he never harms ordinary people.
The common people will also ask their subordinates not to harm ordinary people.
In Xiao Jiuan's eyes, ordinary people are never enemies, and his sword will only fall into the hands of the enemy.
If Xiao Jiuan goes to attack Beichen, Beichen Tianque will have nothing to worry about. Xiao Jiuan takes Beichen, and Beichen loses only its country and territory. Their people in Beichen will be safe, and the people will be safe. The soldiers fighting on the front line
There will be no worries and you can fight on the front line with peace of mind.
Nan Jinzhao is different!
That bitch Nan Jinzhao has always believed in raising soldiers by raising animals, and he is very indulgent towards his soldiers.
This kind of connivance does not mean that they are disobedient, but that as long as they are obedient and go into battle to kill the enemy and capture the city, they can then do whatever they want and do whatever they want.
Raping and killing innocent women and children, taking pleasure in robbing, killing and plundering, these are Nan Jinzhao's soldiers.
Every time after the city was breached, Nan Jinzhao allowed his soldiers and horses to humiliate and kill the people in the city at will, in the name of allowing the soldiers to relax and enjoy the joy of victory.
Nan Jinzhao's behavior was very disgusting to the people in all countries and cities, but it has to be said that his move did create a group of beastly soldiers and horses.
The combat effectiveness of the direct troops and horses under his command is also obvious to all. Apart from the prince's Yanbei Royal Army, Nan Jinzhao's troops can be said to be the second strongest in the mainland.
Those under him, even if they just want to enter the city so that they can kill and humiliate people at will, they will fight tooth and nail to capture the city and become the victor.
Because they have conquered too many cities, seen too many miserable situations, and know the consequences of losing, so they cannot lose, they can only win.
Nan Jinzhao led his troops to attack Beichen, and after breaking through Beichen's city, he also allowed his soldiers and horses to humiliate the people of Beichen, treating them like cattle and horses.
Moreover, Nan Jinzhao was very shameless and spread the news as quickly as possible to Tianwu and to the ears of Beichen's soldiers on the front line.
You don't need to think about it to know that Nan Jinzhao's goal is to destabilize Beichen's military morale and make Beichen's soldiers unwilling to fight in Tianwu.
"Nan Jinzhao is cooperating with Tianwu again?" Beichen Tianque was still hesitating whether to accept the prince's request for cooperation, but he received news that the morale of his troops was weakened.
When Beichen Tianque asked someone to investigate, they found out the handiwork of Tianwu and Nan Jinzhao. It doesn’t take much to think about it. They must be cooperating. Nan Jinzhao helped Tianwu solve his urgent need, and Tianwu...
He must have ceded a lot of benefits to Nan Jinzhao.
Nan Jinzhao is a man who never gets up early without benefit. He never does anything that harms himself or others.
"They have always cooperated. Although Nan Jinzhao is not trustworthy and sells allies at any time, it is undeniable that he is very strong. Except for Yanbei King Xiao Jiuan, he is the strongest, to a certain extent
, he is a good collaborator, especially
It was because Tianqi offended Queen Yanbei." Beichen Tianque's staff carefully analyzed the current situation for Beichen Tianque: "Now, we have only one way to go. Should we capture Tianwu and abandon Beichen, or let go of Tianwu and go back to regain our lost territory
."
Beichen's troops and horses are limited. The troops and horses in their hands can only support them to do one thing, and they must make a choice.
"Tianwu can't let go, Beichen... After this battle, we have regained the lost ground, and we won't be able to recover it for decades." Beichen Tianque said without hesitation.
Beichen is too poor, too poor to support Beichen's people and army. If they return to Beichen, everything will go back to the way it was before, and they will have to continue to struggle to survive.
They cannot give up Tianwu, they must take Tianwu.
The people and army of Beichen need the rich land of Tianwu to support them, otherwise Beichen will soon decline... (To be continued)
