"Abba, this is what happened!" Mondo said to the old man sitting on the throne: "If Xiliang is not solved, the Qingxi grassland will no longer be stable, and our Qing tribe in the west will no longer be stable.
Safety!"
The old man put down the animal skin in his hand: "Do you know how much it will cost us to drive Xiliang out of the Qingxi Grassland?
This time you lost 13,000 tribal warriors, and I have to pay a million livestock to appease the anger of their families.
Once we fight Xiliang, according to the fortress you mentioned, we will need to send at least 100,000 people, as well as a large number of infantry to assist!
The main army of our tribe is currently on the southern route, and nearly 50,000 sheep are eaten every month. If we send another 100,000 troops, and 100,000 sheep every month, can our tribe afford to support them?"
Mondo lowered his head: "Then, shall we not fight?"
The old man slapped his forehead helplessly: "Fight, but we can't send troops, we have to let the big clan leaders send troops. Their families have a large population and strong troops!"
in another city
Gu Lina stood quietly to the side. Above her was a middle-aged man with a very handsome appearance. He was the patriarch of the Qing tribe. Some people also called him Qing Wang.
"This Xiliang war horse really has such endurance?" After hearing Gu Lina's words, King Qing became very interested in the Xiliang war horse.
Gu Lina said softly: "The Xiliang cavalry pursued them all the way, but Meng Duo's army could not catch up and could not escape. Each of those cavalry was skilled in bows and horses, and could use bows and arrows to shoot while running fast!"
"It seems that there is something really good about Xiliang!" The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "Tell me, how many troops are needed to attack Qingxi Grassland?"
Gu Lina was a little excited when she heard this, but she acted very calmly on the surface: "Before there is no support from Xiliang, about 150,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry should be able to capture the fortress, but if the opponent's reinforcements
If it comes, I don’t know!
According to the information collected by my daughter, there are still many cavalrymen in Xiliang, Qingxi Grassland has taken refuge with him, and there are still two to three hundred thousand cavalrymen."
The combat effectiveness of the Qingxi Grassland cavalry is average. Compared with the Qing tribe's cavalry, their combat effectiveness is definitely inferior. One hundred and fifty thousand cavalry are to deal with the Qingxi Grassland cavalry, and the remaining 100,000 infantry are the main force to deal with the fortress!
King Qing frowned when he heard this number. Two hundred and fifty thousand people, this is not a small number. Their Qing tribe has a population of more than 100 million, but the number of qualified soldiers among this 100 million population will not exceed 10 million.
Moreover, it is impossible to raise so many soldiers. The number of Qing tribe soldiers is probably between 4 million and 6 million, and they will not be able to support any more.
Of course, if we don't look at the quality of the soldiers and all the people are soldiers, we can recruit between 15 million and 25 million. In this case, the entire grassland will be in crisis.
"Isn't this number of soldiers a bit too much?"
Gu Lina lowered her head: "Abba, this number is already very conservative. If Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang, takes action himself, the number of soldiers that may be needed today will be doubled.
According to my daughter’s information, the Xiliang King Li Xiang has a cavalry in his hands, and he is invincible with the Xiliang King in the south and north. If this cavalry follows the battle, the number of soldiers and horses may increase a lot!"
"Is this King of Xiliang so powerful?" King Qing was a little interested.
Gu Lina glanced at her father secretly: "I heard that this King of Xiliang is the son of Marshal Li Zhen of Daqian!"
"Li Zhen's son?" Qing Wang's eyes were full of gossip. He and Li Zhen were also old acquaintances. When they were in Daqian, he had the best relationship with Li Zhen.
But he didn't expect that it was Li Zhen's son who occupied the northwest of Daqian. Could it be that Li Zhen also felt that Daqian was in trouble?
Gu Lina said: "Xiliang King Li Xiang, it is said that he is the son of Marshal Li Zhen. He was expelled outside the Northwest Pass for intervening in royal issues. After arriving outside the pass, Li Xiang was like a god possessing him, and he led his men to become famous. Outside the Pass, Zhou Hangjie, the current Prime Minister of the Left of the Great Qian Dynasty, once united with the Great Wall Army. The Xuantian Sect wanted to kill Li Xiang, but he did not expect that Li Xiang escaped, and then Li Xiang unified the outside of the Pass.
After Shan Feng entered the pass, Xiliang followed him to the pass. In just two years, he wiped out the northwest army in one fell swoop and unified the entire northwest.
Now he is unparalleled in the limelight. His army resists the ferocious beasts in the north and controls the Tongtian River in the south. The Qingxi grassland has fallen into his hands!
There are also rumors that there are two grandmaster-level experts in Jiuyuan City who are here to guard Li Xiang!"
These are all things that Gu Lina collected. King Qing's hands were tapping rhythmically on the handle of the throne. This is his habit when thinking!
Gu Lina was listening on the side, not daring to express her anger. She didn’t know how long it would take before Qing Wang said: “All actions are suspended until next spring!”
Gu Lina looked at Qingwang with some confusion. Qingwang glanced at his daughter wearing a veil and said solemnly: "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, you go instead of your eldest brother!"
Gu Lina looked at her father blankly, why did she suddenly change the subject, and even sent herself to Da Gan!
Gu Lina wanted to refuse, but when she saw the look in her father's eyes, she didn't dare to say anything.
"Yes, Father!"
King Qing nodded: "Go and get ready! Remember, no matter what time, you must remember that you are a member of our Qing tribe!"
Gu Lina nodded: "Yes! My daughter is resigning!"
King Qing watched Gu Lina exit before closing his eyes. Gu Lina really needs to be hammered. The Qing tribe still doesn't know much about the northwest. How does his daughter know so much?
After leaving the tent, Gu Lina showed a smile. Is that okay next year?
northwest
Li Xiang, dressed in a black robe, squatted beside two cradles and rocked them gently. The two little ones were sleeping soundly in the cradles.
This cradle is not an ordinary item, but something he asked Qingsong to build. It can allow the child to sleep peacefully, and can also purify the spiritual energy, allowing the child to breathe the purest spiritual energy.
Boom, boom, boom!
Very light footsteps came to the side of Prime Minister Li. The head of the guard lowered his head and said to Prime Minister Li: "My lord, there is a letter asking for help from Qingxi Grassland!"
Li Xiang frowned, gently stabilized the cradle, and left the room quietly. Qian Duoduo, who was next to him, immediately ran to the child, looked at the two sleeping children, and smiled.
Only these two children can make that big devil become gentle and gently cradle...
"What's going on?" Li Xiang asked in a low voice outside.
The guard Changdao took out the letter: "This is the letter from Qingxi Grassland!"
After Li Xiang opened the letter and read the letter above, his brows furrowed even more tightly. What does this prairie man want to do?
Li Xiang did not believe that the grassland people would fight with him at this time. Now on the confrontation line between the grassland and Daqian, there were large armies gathered. The Daqian Northern Army led by Li Zhen made the grassland people's front line breathless.
In particular, the arrival of the two frontier armies, the Great Wall Army and the Far North Army, made the entire grassland defense line extremely tense.
The Far North and Great Wall Legions have left the Far North Icefield, and now it is the prairie people themselves who are fighting against the army of ferocious beasts, and they have to face an additional 600,000 elite frontier troops on the frontal battlefield.
All the major tribes in the grassland have sent reinforcements to the front line. Once the front line collapses, the internal problems of the entire grassland people will also explode. By then, there will be no need for large-scale troops to take action, the grassland people themselves will start to kill!
Therefore, Prime Minister Li does not think that the grassland will take action against the Qingxi Grassland at this time. They must maintain sufficient strength to form an evenly matched force against the Daqian Northern Army, otherwise it will be bad if the Daqian army takes action.
The southern region of Daqian is indeed in a state of decay, but the northern land has some
With Li Zhen guarding the city, the entire northern world is still relatively peaceful, and there will be no uprisings!
The demon clan in the south cannot hinder the war in the north. It is estimated that the demon clan is eager to start a war in the northern battlefield and let Daqian focus on the north so that they demon clan can have enough time to cultivate.
To kill Yu Chijing, the demon clan paid a high price. The army responsible for the attack suffered losses of up to 300,000, and a large number of strong men died on the battlefield.
The demon clan also needs some time to cultivate and transport the troops from the 100,000-strong mountain.
While Li Xiang was meditating on this letter, another letter arrived. Li Xiang opened the letter and saw the content inside, and the worry on his brow disappeared.
This time the grassland people should have come to test the number of Xiliang troops in the Qingxi grassland and prepare for the next battle.
Since the other party has already started making preparations, Xiliang should also make some preparations!
Thinking of Prime Minister Li striding to the study room where he handles government affairs, the most powerful force on the grassland is the cavalry, but Xiliang built a fortress on the grassland, which means they have a strong stronghold!
Attacking a city has always been the most annoying thing for cavalry. They are brave cavalry, and their combat effectiveness can only be unleashed on horses!
Isn't it a bit too extravagant to ask them to dismount and attack the city?
Li Xiang knew that there were a lot of infantry in the grassland, but the city wall was so high and there was a forbidden air formation. There were no trees or stones around. It just depended on what the grassland infantry used to hit the city wall.
They can only bring ladders and other siege weapons from the Qing tribe, but are the Xiliang cavalry willing to transport these weapons to the battlefield?
The answer is impossible, Li Xiang already has a complete plan in mind.
Zhuo Bufan has great talent in military offense, but at that time he did not have much experience in defensive warfare. Now he needs to send a veteran with defensive experience to join forces!
Thinking that Li Xiang would take a look at the people who had not yet gone out to work and were very close to the Qingxi grassland, when he saw Gao Yuan, Li Xiang remembered that Gao Yuan had once been the guard of Yumen Pass, blocking countless attacks from vicious beasts. Such a veteran has great experience. Rich!
Thinking that Li Xiang directly transferred Gao Yuan's troops to Gao Yuan, he also wrote a letter of resignation. The two were respectively the commander and deputy commander of the Ninth Legion.
Both of them have their own soldiers and horses. Zhuo Bufan is the soldiers and horses on the original grassland, and Gao Yuan's troops are the soldiers who followed him in the north and south, as well as the 10,000 Xiliang spearmen given by Li Xiang. Ten thousand troops.
After receiving the order from Prime Minister Li, Gao Yuan immediately dispatched with his army and rushed towards the Qingxi Grassland.
This is the first person to hold a post in the Great Wall Legion. The rest are imprisoned in various military mansions. Each of them has a military mansion, but they cannot go out, let alone have any contact with the soldiers and horses under their command.
Several members of the big families thought that when they arrived at Jiuyuan City, Prime Minister Li would let them move around freely. Unfortunately, their clansmen were placed outside in the countryside, and they themselves were also in the courtyard given to them and could not go out.
As soon as those four masters arrived in the city, they became like a mouse seeing a cat. The next day, they were taken to the Demonic Academy by Yuchi Yun and never came out again!
If it weren't for Prime Minister Li's guarantee, people from several families would have thought that their ancestors had been killed by the great master of Jiuyuan City!
The reason why Prime Minister Li did not release people from the military city these days was because he had forgotten about these people. Wu Yating gave birth to a son, so he lost attention to other surrounding matters.
After the birth of his two children, the place where Li Xiang spent the most time every day was in the children's room. He was afraid that the evil spirits on his body would impact the children, so Li Xiang deliberately suppressed the evil spirits on his body.
In front of his children, he has to act like an old father!
After Gao Yuan was released, the senior officials of the military city could naturally move around freely. However, the civilians from the military city assigned these people to various villages based on their surnames and relationship with their neighbors.
Nowadays, there is a lack of population everywhere in the northwest. Not to mention the millions of people coming from the military cities. Of the more than 5 million people from the grassland, only about one million people are left to continue grazing. These people are all nobles on the grassland and have a large number of people.
Cattle and sheep, basically no herdsmen with cattle or sheep, farmed with Xiliang farmers!
Farming is really not difficult. Under the arrangements of Xiliang, these herders integrated with the villagers in major villages in the northwest and started farming.
The entire northwest is glowing with the vitality of the Daqian Jiangnan region, with farmers working everywhere. Xiliang farmers guide these farmers in farming.
The woman soon followed the Xiliang weavers and began to raise silkworms, make linen, and weave cloth, all heading towards a beautiful place.
Every once in a while, inspection envoys would pass by in major cities in the northwest to inspect officials. Li was not very strict with officials and allowed them to receive about one hundred taels of gifts a year. This was regarded as their official duty.
Welfare, but if it exceeds this number, it will be directly beheaded.
Only those who have been in the bureaucracy will know how deep the water is inside!
When Li Xiang was working in Daqian, he had been in the system and knew the situation of officials at the bottom. He allowed these officials to collect some things, but he would never be ambiguous about some things, such as government projects, people's livelihood projects, etc.
He will never give in. As long as he dares to stretch his hand, Xiliang soldiers will dare to kill him.
Patrols can be made in one light and one dark, or two dark, or three dark, and there is no limit to the number of people hiding in the dark!
After being released, the top brass in the military city began to select girls. If they wanted to gain the trust of the King of Xiliang, the best way was to get married!
The major officials in Xiliang are also very worried that Prime Minister Li only has two women. There is no news that their lord has a wife yet. How can they not be worried?
