Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 22 Tianjiao breaks wings
Weary, I closed my eyes and lay on the big poplar wood bed. The dragon and phoenix pictures on the silk embroidered curtains indicated that its origin came from the distant Tang River in the east. The old man seemed to have fallen asleep, but the two standing beside him The men did not slack off in the slightest, they knew that the great chief might be the most sober at this time.
"It's over?" After a while, the old man lying on the bed waved his hand to the maid who had been kneeling beside her and beating her legs to leave. There were only three people left in the tent. The bright flame of the butter candle occasionally flickered, and the tent The atmosphere inside seemed a little dignified. Although it has been learned that the Eastern Expeditionary Army has suffered a tragic defeat through the fast horse transmission, it is only a vague message. No one knows the specific inside story. They are thousands of miles away. It was vaguely guessed through some sporadic news, but the city of Barona was already filled with the atmosphere of failure and pessimism.
The news from the merchants is even more accurate, detailed and reliable than the news from the military. The commercial route from the east has been completely cut off, not only the main northern commercial route leading to Wulanji, but also the goods that enter the Tengger Grassland through the Western Regions and India have been completely cut off, and the prices of tea and silk have skyrocketed The price has more than doubled, and ceramics and cloth have also increased by 30%. Merchants who took advantage of the fire took the opportunity to drive up prices, which has already caused dissatisfaction among some small and medium-sized nobles in the city of Barona.
The nobles and veterans spent five days restless in this anxious and irritable mood. The detailed battle reports from the front line and the official letters from the army were finally delivered to Miser who was handling daily affairs. In view of the seriousness of the situation, even though he knew that the great chief who was in poor health should not be disturbed at this time, he still could not reach a satisfactory conclusion after several quarrels at the meeting of noble elders, and some changes of the Chidi people exacerbated the situation. Therefore, the Council of Elders had no choice but to ask Miser and Doni to immediately report to Chief Wadya who had been bedridden for nearly a month.
"Well, the situation in the east is roughly like this. Now that Tu Da has led the rest of his troops to retreat from Wulanji and return to Barona, it is estimated that they should be able to cross the Selenge River to Helin tomorrow." Swallowed a mouthful Spit, the sweat on Miser's head has soaked the cloth belt on his head. The seriousness of the situation is far beyond the initial imagination. He strengthened his mind even more, but the situation in front of him was so dangerous, if Luo Bei fell this time, he would never be able to stand up on the Tengger Grassland again.
"The situation in the east? Is there any accident in other directions?" Turning his head slightly, the round and plump face has become much thinner now, but the sparkling eyes in the eyes prove the old man's strength. The physical condition did not seem to be as bad as imagined. Seeing that the heads of Misai and Doni suddenly drooped at this moment, the old man's heart tightened. What news would make people so taboo?
Taking a deep breath, the old man suppressed the turbulent mood in his heart, and asked lightly: "Did the Chidi people backtrack?"
"Uh, the Chidi people have indeed made some changes these days. In the southwest border area with our territory, our intelligence personnel have discovered that the Chidi people seem to be mobilizing in secret, because they have informed us about their We are going to conduct military training exercises in the south, so we didn't pay attention to it at first, but now we have some doubts about our failure in the east and other situations.•••••• 8226;••" After that, Doni didn't go any further.
Even if Doni didn't continue to say the following words, these words have already shocked the old man's heart, and the thing he was most worried about happened. The **** Chidi people have never dared to believe their promises The peace agreement, everything is bullshit, and the Luobei nation, whose fate is rough, once faced a crisis like the last time, but is there such good luck this time? Wadya is not sure, there are only three good things, this is a proverb of the Tanghe people, but the war between the Luobei people and the Xijiang people seems to have far exceeded three times, since Li Wufeng started to gain a foothold in Qingyang, it seems that the two sides The relationship between them has never been really normal, except that there seemed to be a honeymoon period after Dhoni signed an agreement with the other party after the second war. Have you ever passed the Robi family?
"That's enough, why doubt? We can know, and Muluwa knows that we are not slow, even faster and clearer than us! What are you still hesitating? There is no need for doubt, this is the essence of war Omen! The Chidi people will not give up any opportunity to try to destroy our Luobei at will. Immediately notify the guards to mobilize the entire army. Get up, enter the state of war, and be ready to fight at any time!" Resisting the nausea caused by chest tightness, Vadya propped himself up and leaned against the bed, the sound of heavy breathing like a bellows pulling was particularly harsh in the tent, and it was audible. With the angry roar of the great chief, the concubines who stayed in the back tent rushed in and helped Wadya sit up. They stroked his chest to calm his violent cough caused by anger, and motioned for Miser and Doni. leave first.
If it was the past, Misai and Doni would definitely salute and leave at this time and wait for the right time to report, but the urgent situation forced the two to dare not leave without permission. The meeting of the elders will definitely trigger countless quarrels, and it is not impossible to even cause the entire Luobei clan to split.
From the expressions of the two of them, Vadya could tell that the two of them must have something more worrying that they hadn't told him. At this time, Wadya's heart became extremely calm. What is more worrisome than the threat of war from the Chidi people, but it must be quite troublesome for the two of them to be so hesitant that they have never made it clear.
"Missie, Doni, what else do you two have to say, pour it out at once, don't hide it there, do you really think that I, Wadya, are so fragile that even a little setback Can't bear it?" There was another violent cough, and Vadya's face flushed red, and his breathing became more rapid.
Maybe feeling a little embarrassed, Doni rubbed his hands and exchanged some helpless glances with Miser, nana it took a long time before he managed to say a word: "Great chief, uh, we may also have some troubles in the north."
"North?" Shocked, Wadya, who had been lying down slowly, suddenly raised his body and pushed away the two concubines who were helping him. With his eyes wide open, he said sharply, "Are you Speaking of An'ou people?!"
Seeing that the topic has been clarified, Doni doesn't have so many scruples. Sooner or later, this matter will break out. Let the other party know as early as possible to prepare for it. It's just whether the current physical condition of the other party can withstand this. This kind of stimulation made Doni quite afraid, "Yes, great chief, the An'ou people sent envoys two days ago to make some demands, uh, some unreasonable demands."
"Come to make a request at this time? It's a good time, what request?" Wadeya tried hard to control his emotions, but Wadya felt that his heartbeat was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and his temples on both sides of his forehead were throbbing Non-stop, sweat slowly soaked down his cheeks, his nose was whistling, and even words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Uh, it's about the request for the gold mine in the Mobei River Valley." Duni quietly lowered his head and said in a low voice. The strength has been weakened to the extreme, facing the changes of the Chidi people, there is already panic, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. Now they have to face the deliberate provocation of the Anou people. The Luobei clan has reached a critical moment that concerns the survival of the clan.
At this time, a smile appeared on Wadya's face, but this smile looked bleak, so bleak that it was almost weird, "The time has finally come, Kibo chose a good time, thanks to him for enduring it." After so many years, he finally made him wait for this opportunity. What did they say?!"
The Mobei River Valley is a section of the valley where the Mobei River flows through the grasslands in the northwest of Luobei. Due to the rugged and steep terrain of this section of the valley, the Mobei River forms many gullies and valleys in this section of the valley. This river valley has become a famous gold sand producing area on the Tengger Grassland. The gold sand produced in this river valley area brings huge profits to the Luobei nobles every year. There is a dispute with the Luobei people about the ownership of this area. It turns out that this is just a barren land, and no one has ever noticed that it should belong to the Luobei family in terms of geographical boundaries. However, once it became the Jinsha production area, Anou People raised objections, but when Luobei was strong in the past, the objections of the Anou people were only verbal, and the Luobei people never took it to heart, but now when they raise it at this time, there are some people in the middle of it. It means a lot.
"They asked to redefine the ownership of this area. They believed that the An'ou people in this river valley should have at least 50% of the rights and interests. That is to say, they asked for half of the income of the Jinsha production area, and said This request must be met." Duny was also very angry, but at this time, as the elder of the clan in charge of internal affairs and intelligence affairs, he had to first consider the possible consequences if the Luobei people rejected this proposal.
"What if this request is not met? Are they planning to fight each other?" Vadya felt that he could not even catch his breath at this time, and he had to lean on the The concubine was able to sit firmly. The gold mines in the Mobei River Valley were not only the largest financial source of the Luobei clan before the Tanghe Empire opened the northern trade route to the western continent, but also the main source of income for many nobles to make a living every year. Compared with the herdsmen raising livestock for themselves The income brought by the Mobei River Valley to the nobles of Luobei is not only much richer but also the most reassuring thing is that it is quite stable. Once the animal husbandry that does not want to rely on the sky encounters a snowstorm, it may even get nothing. In fact, the gold mine in the North River Valley has become a natural link to maintain the centripetal force of the Luobei nobles. Once this gold mine is lost, let alone foreign enemies invade, I am afraid that the Luobei clan will fall into division immediately, and will continue to inherit the position of the chief of Luobei. The Qiumen tribe will also immediately disappear from the succession sequence of the Luobei clan.
"Uh, our scouts also discovered that the An'ou people started preparing for war a month ago. Although they were very careful, we still found something unusual. I have already notified the guards stationed around the river valley to be more vigilant Strengthen your vigilance. However, the intelligence also shows that the envoys of the Chidi people visited the territory of the An'ou people a few days ago, but we have not obtained specific information on this."
Duni's tone has become a bit bitter. Although he prefers to believe that this is a coincidence, it began when the Chidi people agreed to their proposal at the time to sign a peace agreement and supported Luobei to recover the lost land from the Tanghe people~IndoMTL .com~ and the war preparations of the Anou people in the middle, and the visit of the Chidi envoys to the Anou territory, all this seems to indicate that this is a huge conspiracy, a conspiracy specifically targeting the Luobei people, and this conspiracy is now firmly established. It is said that the envoy of the Hansen League in Barona once reminded the chief and Misai to be careful of the An'ou people, but at that time, almost no one believed An'ou. What the Europeans can do with their current strength, but now it seems that everything has become a reality. The Anou people have abandoned their original balance strategy, and seem to want to use the strength of the Chidi people to stand on the corpse of the Luobei people and face Teng The powerhouse of the Geli Grassland is moving forward. For the Luobei family, the Anou people may be more dangerous than the Chidi people. They want to completely destroy the Luobei people and annex everything from the Luobei people, and the Chidi people seem to be happy. On the East Tengger Grassland, support a second-rate nation who is attached to them, a little brother who can be obedient on the Tengger Grassland, so that they can spare time to digest everything they have obtained.
With a "poof", the inverse blood gushing out of his mouth could no longer be controlled. It splashed on the gorgeous silk curtain and painted a bright red color. Vadya could no longer support his body to look up. Lying on the bed, Donnie's words were like the last sack of wool that broke the camel's back, finally knocking him down.
"Great Chief! Great Chief!" The frightened two and a group of concubines and concubines were in a mess. At this time, Wadya's face suddenly turned yellow, and his gray lips squirmed slightly. The two hurriedly ordered the guards to notify the doctor outside the tent, while listening carefully to the already inaudible voice.
"Tu Da missed me! .
