Chapter 459: The North Desert Plan
Eight hundred miles north of Leizhou, about four hundred miles southwest of the Desert Royal Court, there is a lake with lush water and grass by the lake. Liman set up his sweat tent here.
After hearing the gift giver's reward, Li Man waved helplessly and asked him to retreat. Qu Angdao, who was sitting next to reading a book, put down the book in his hand and sneered: "I told you not to waste your time, but you don't believe it. I sent three trips this month, but I didn't even see Ju Ci's face."
Li Man stroked his forehead dejectedly and said, "Originally, my younger sister was closer to my elder brother. My older brother sent someone to deliver things. If I don't go, wouldn't it make my younger sister feel that I'm not as good as my elder brother?"
"If you can exchange the Golden Wolf Army with some small favors and little comforts, your father might as well hand the Golden Wolf Army to one of your brothers directly." Qu Nidao sighed: "Your father knows that if you hand over the Golden Wolf Army to one of your brothers, the other one will not survive. So hand over the Golden Wolf Army to Ju Ci to maintain the balance in the situation, and then let Ju Ci ask the Dharma King to take charge, forming a situation of standing up so that the desert will not be seriously damaged."
"Balance? Even if I can't do anything, I can endure it for a few days with Kunbo's temperament, and sooner or later I will bring people here." Liman picked up the horse milk wine in front of him, drank it all, with a sad face. The power in his hands was inferior to Kunbo. If Kunbo led the crowd to attack, he would be no match.
"Hehehehehehe", Qu Nidao smiled sinisterly and said, "Don't worry, if Kunbo dares to lead the crowd to attack, he will force your girl to give you the Golden Wolf Army."
"Oh, master, what do you mean?" Liman asked anxiously with his eyes wide open.
Qu Nidao poured a cup of tea for himself calmly, held the teacup in front of his nose and smelled the tea fragrance. Liman stood up and came to him and asked repeatedly. Qu Nidao sighed slightly, "Your father has been a hero for a lifetime, and your ability is not as good as your father, let alone your elder brother."
Anger flashed in Liman's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "I am not as good as my father's khan, but I have the help of my master, and I can beat my elder brother. Master, don't keep it a secret. Tell me why Kunbo came to attack me, and Tizhu would hand over the Golden Wolf Army to me?"
"This is obvious. You brothers are like the two ends of the weighing instrument. Although there is some deviation, they are generally equal. The Golden Wolf Army led by Tizhu Juci is a piece of copper power, and it will be heavy when placed on the side. I guess your father Khan told Juci before his death to maintain balance. If the fight starts, the Golden Wolf Army will join the weak side, so that your brothers will be cautious and dare not take action. Now Juci has the protection of the Sadu Sect, and your brothers will not dare to take action against her, and the situation in the desert can stand up."
Li Man said with a bitter face: "Wouldn't you want Kunbo and I to waste it like this? Wouldn't the desert be divided into two or even countless pieces?" The desert is composed of tribes of all sizes, and there are more than 20 tribes with more than 10,000 soldiers. After a long time, I really can't tell what will happen.
Qu sipped the tea, and the fragrance came back to sweetness. The tea he drank was not the large tea brick brought by a merchant, but the famous tea Anshan Silver Needle purchased by a special person from Liman Sect from Zhengguo. He closed his eyes slightly and savored the tea smell, and after a while, he spoke: "How could you say that your father Khan is a hero? How could your father Khan not expect what you can see?"
"A few days ago, the line report said that Emperor Zheng set up Zhenbei Camp in Leizhou and Dengzhou, and what kind of martial arts competition is being held? What do you think about this?" Qu Andao put down his teacup and started taking the school entrance exam.
Li Man said indifferently: "The Emperor of Zheng wants to take the opportunity to attack my desert, but he is dreaming in the daytime."
As a Zheng person, the Qu is against the way to benefit
Man's mind was clear and said coldly: "This time Zheng State plans to use the whole country to fight the northern expedition. Do you think it can be won under the powerful weapon?"
"If you can't beat it, run away," Li Manman said carelessly: "We are not like Zheng people, who stand firm in the ground, thousands of miles of the grassland, and hide wherever the Zheng people go, and find us wherever the Zheng people can't provide support for the food and grass, we will fight back and don't even need to fight back. As long as the weather changes, we will keep many Zheng troops on the grassland."
From the Dharma King to the common people of Mo, they all looked down on the Zheng people. This sense of advantage comes from hundreds of years of war between the north and the south. The north wins more and the south wins less. In the impression of the Mo people, the southern people are weak and vulnerable to the battle and can only hide behind the city walls to defend against the enemy with their weapons.
Qu Nidao said angrily: "You should just pull out your knife and kill me with one knife, so as to prevent me from being humiliated by the hands of Zheng people in the future."
Seeing that the master was angry, Liman leaned down and knelt down, saying, "Liman is ignorant, please forgive me, and I also ask the master to teach me."
"What the people of the Mo people rely on is just a familiar bow and horse, and they advance and retreat like the wind. Five years ago, Kunbo led his army to invade Huangsha Pass of Zheng State, but he returned with great defeat. Your father Khan agreed to the marriage of Zheng State. When you went to Zheng State, can't you see this clue?" Qu Andao was as deep as water, and he said viciously.
Li Man pondered: "Zheng country is richer than our desert. The soldiers guarding the city are well-equipped and have many ordnances that I have never seen before. In Zheng Palace, the old man once threatened that in addition to winch crossbows, there were also several ordnances being tested. By the way, the old man also said that he was studying the enemy-breaking method for my desert cavalry. That cone array was just a display."
The more he said Liman's tone became heavier. In recent years, the craftsmen who relied on the dowry of Lihua's family, the technology of the desert has made rapid progress. They can dig soil and burn bricks to build houses, create harder and more flexible steel knives, and assemble ladders and rushers for siege. Originally, my father Khan was thinking about going south, but the result...
"As far as I know, Zheng State has newly made four-arrow crossbows, improved the siege crossbow, and newly made a grain-transporting briquette truck. In the past two years, Zheng State has implemented the new policy of "tax-to-one". I heard that taxes have grown rapidly, the country is rich and the troops are strong..." Qu Nidao's voice rang coldly in Liman's ears, and Deliman's heart was tightening and cold sweat broke out.
"Master, according to your words, the desert is dangerous this time." Li Man's other leg weakened and he knelt in front of Qu Nidao.
Qu Nidao rebuked coldly: "That's why I said that your talents are less than half of your father's Khan. Your father's Khan should have seen the crisis after his death, so he handed over the Golden Wolf Army to Tizhu Juci to maintain the balance on the surface of the desert. When Zheng State invades and the family and country are alive, you brothers, all the desert people will naturally defend against the enemy from the outside. At that time, whoever can lead the crowd to drive away the Zheng army will be the Khan King of the Desert, the Golden Wolf Army will naturally hand it over to his hands."
Li Man let out a long sigh, knelt on the ground and stood up, and said excitedly: "Master, don't worry, I will lead the crowd to defeat the Zheng army, and then unify the desert and become the Khan King, and then lead the army south to avenge you, Master."
"The ambition is commendable, but fighting is not about verbalism." Qu Nidao wrapped his fur and asked, "How do you plan to defeat Zheng Jun and become the Khan King?"
Li Man smiled and said, "The master asked me this way, and I must have made a decision in my heart. I also asked the master for advice, and all the disciples followed."
Qu Nidao shook his head. This disciple has been taught since he was a child. He knows his temper very well. He is lonely in the desert and has already brought him up.
Become a relative.
"The Zheng State invasion should be prepared for two or three years. During this period, you must work hard to expand your power and strive for more neutral tribes to invest. Don't be jealous of money. With people and horses, everything will naturally be there."
Liman nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, I'm already doing this. I just contacted the Hei Ministry and the Hei Horse Ministry recently, and they intend to lead the tribe to join me."
"When you send someone to give gifts to Tizhu Juci, you will also give a copy to the Dharma King to show your pious heart. The Divine Cult is deeply supported by the people in the desert. If you can get the approval of the Dharma King, the resistance to becoming the Khan will be much smaller." Qu Nidao said with a flashing look.
Li Man pondered a little and asked in confusion: "Didn't the master say that the Divine Power is the enemy of Khan? Once the Dharma King gains power, the Khan's throne will become an affiliation of the Divine Spirit. Why did I even ask me to offer gifts to the Dharma King?"
"This is one time and another." Qu Nidao said: "Your father Khan asked Tizhu to ask the Dharma King to take charge of the royal court, which was a dangerous move. Once the consequences were unimaginable. But the Dharma King had already arrived, so he could only use his power first, not to mention that the disciples under the Dharma King were all very skilled in martial arts. With their efforts to help, they would be better than thousands of wolf cavalry."
Liman nodded, probably.
"Your tent is closer to Zheng State, and you must be the first to take charge of the Zheng people when they send troops."
"What should I do?" Li Man said anxiously: "Master, why don't we move the sweat tent north."
"Where is such a ranch north? Without the ranch, how could those tribes follow you?" Qu Nidao cursed with a little regret: "What are you panic? I'm not telling you that everything has two sides. Getting close to Zheng State has pros and cons. How to turn disadvantages into pros is what the leader should do."
Li Man was ashamed and said, "What the master taught me is."
Qu Andao held a few beards and squinted his eyes. A fierce light appeared, "If the Zheng people want to invade the north, they will definitely adopt a differentiation strategy, and promise to use money, grain and materials to pull some tribes as their front. Your father Khan died of illness, and the Emperor of the Zheng family would definitely send envoys to mourn and inquire about the military information in the desert. You might as well send more detectives to intercept the envoys of Zheng State first, and lead him to your Khan tent, and then take action when you see the opportunity."
Liman thought for a little while and said with a smile: "Master, when the envoy of Zheng State comes to the Khan tent, you might as well show weakness to him, and even promise to become the forehand of Zheng State and attack the royal court for them, right?"
"The son can be taught," Qu Nidao nodded and smiled, "That Zheng has made good use of it. He will inevitably be in a hurry to go back and show his merits. He will not go north to contact Kunbo again, so you will get the first move. If Emperor Zheng really sends people to send money, grain and equipment, then you can summon more tribes. However, afterwards, you must report this to the Dharma King and Tizhu secretly so that they will not misunderstand you. If the Zheng people see through your plan, you will hype up the Zheng people's betrayal and let those who are willing to stand by the fence die their hearts of surrender."
"It's amazing!" Li Man applauded and praised.
Qu Nidao suddenly asked, "You are in love with the Yan family, and you have a son and a daughter. Lihua Yan family should obey your advice."
"Of course, the Zheng people didn't say that they would marry their husbands and follow them. Now Lihua is my native of the desert. Master, don't worry that she will inform the Zheng people." Liman explained anxiously.
