I’m The King Chapter 163: : Thorpe’s ambition
Donghu king Miranda between the two sons, although it is said that the attitude of a bowl of water is equal, but in fact, there is still a difference. He prefers the third son Thorpe. It seems that he brought the boss Sock back and forth between the major ministries of Donghu, so that Sock had more opportunities to get in touch with these powerful figures in Donghu, but in fact, it was Thorpe who had the upper hand inside, and Thorpe was stationed Yulin controls the distribution of all materials for the Southern Expedition, and holds real power in his hands. In the future, during the Southern Expedition, whoever will be given more, who will be given less, who will be better, and who will be worse, will be Thorpe After all, if most of the East Hu wants to get benefits, they have to deal with Thorpe, and Thorpe seems to be in a good position, but with Miranda, it is his turn to do things that show his face. The only thing he can do is The most important thing is to serve tea and water for Miranda and other princes and nobles, before and after running
Thorpe is well aware of this, but in turn, it is another pressure, that is, there must be no mistakes. So after Thorpe arrived in Yulin, he did not live in a more comfortable city, but Living in a tent in the logistics camp, outside Yulin City, there are two large camps of food, grass and supplies, piled up with mountains of supplies, hundreds of grain stacks, and fodder stacks, filling the two camps to the brim. Yes, and every day, there is an endless stream of food and grass collected from all over Donghu
Donghu King Miranda is determined to take advantage of this opportunity to fight a big battle. He wants to win Liaoxi for Donghu in his lifetime. It will be as stable as Mount Tai
Thorpe worked hard, but he was afraid of something. A grain transport team was attacked a hundred miles away from Yulin. Hundreds of carts of grain were burned to ashes. Several cavalrymen and hundreds of coachmen were almost killed, only a few cavalry escaped.
That is, these cavalry escaped by chance, let Thorpe know who did this thing
He was outraged!
"Slay the sky!" In the big tent, Thorpe roared deafeningly, "I'm going to peel your skin!"
Sha Potian, for Donghu people. Not only is he not unfamiliar, but he is well-known. He has been in Donghu for more than ten years, and he has nearly a thousand horse bandits under his command. The people he recruits are all desperadoes. These people include not only Donghu people, but also Huns. The people of Yan and the people of Zhao have one thing in common. They all committed serious crimes in their own country, and they had no choice but to take risks. This is an extremely dangerous team. They are as ferocious as a tiger and as cunning as a fox. But they all returned in vain, because when you dispatched large soldiers, they disappeared without a trace, and your small group of scouts would become their delicacy. If you can't avoid this matter, you won't die if you kill a tiger. Being killed by a tiger, everyone understands this truth. Once Sha Potian cannot be wiped out, he will definitely retaliate painfully in retrospect. They all shy away
But Sha Potian is also very measured. He had never provoked Miranda's Donghu royal family, which was why Thorpe was careless. Miranda was the king of Donghu, so it was fine if Sha Potian didn't provoke him. He really provoked him. Miranda's king ordered all the Donghu tribes to encircle and suppress from all sides, Sha Potian's living space would inevitably be compressed, and there would be no more room for activities
But this time, Sha Potian seems to have taken the wrong medicine and attacked Donghu King's grain and grass convoy without any scruple
Thorpe's handsome face was distorted badly at the moment, and his face, which always had a gentle smile on weekdays, looked a little ferocious. Thorpe was extremely handsome, and unlike his elder brother, who was a typical martial artist, he was thin and thin. , always smiling, if you despise him because of his size, you will find that when you face him, this is completely a cover-up, Thorpe's personal force is not inferior to that of a man whose physique is almost twice his The difference between the eldest brother and the eldest brother Sock is that Thorpe is not only proficient in Donghu culture, but also deeply studies the Central Plains culture. He strongly admires the governance model of the Qin State in the Central Plains, which is to establish a strong centralized system. This system of tribal elders and the aristocratic enfeoffment system of other countries in the Central Plains are notorious. In his opinion, among the countries in the Central Plains, the Qin State is already the only one, and the aristocratic enfeoffment system of the other six countries has greatly increased domestic power. Internal friction prevents a country from concentrating all its power. The king's order is limited to the capital, and once it reaches the fiefdoms of the nobles, it becomes a piece of official document. The Donghu is similar to the six countries in the Central Plains. Only when the king's court is strong enough will he obey King Donghu's order. Even at this time, King Donghu's order cannot be 100% implemented. When foreign wars go well, they are full of arrogance, but when they fail, this kind of The suffocation of the system was completely exposed. All tribes wanted to preserve their strength and did not want to make sacrifices. Therefore, once they lost a battle, they would be defeated.
Thorpe predicted that based on the current development trend of the countries in the Central Plains, Qin will inevitably defeat other countries one by one and unify the Central Plains. Once the Central Plains is unified, it will be the end of Donghu. A unified Central Plains country is not something that Donghu can deal with The top priority is that Donghu people must expand their own strength, and expanding their own strength means launching a war. In the course of the war, the dream of completing the unification of Donghu and establishing a centralized country is only a unified Donghu, a united Donghu, Fang may confront a unified Central Plains empire in the future
While strengthening yourself, you are weakening the enemy
Thorpe's strategy won Miranda's appreciation, which is why he took extra care of Thorpe. In his heart, Thorpe is the best heir of Donghu, but the eldest son Suoke is an obstacle, Suoke is A typical Donghu man's thinking is far from Thorpe's depth. Thork's heart is deeply rooted in the belief that those weak soldiers in the Central Plains are vulnerable to Donghu's iron hooves. , it is impossible to pose a threat to Donghu at all, and he has no idea about changing the status quo of Donghu
Thorpe's strategy will naturally be resisted by most of the people in power in Donghu, because once a centralized state like Qin is established, all power will be concentrated in the hands of the emperor, and the chiefs of the tribes will not only lose their current status. The status, wealth and control of the tribe have completely become dispensable people, and they can't even protect their lives
Since they can't choose Thorpe, then naturally Thork will be their choice
Miranda sent Thorpe to Yulin to control the lifeline of the Southern Expedition. The strength of the Donghu royal family is far superior to other tribes. Since the transition cannot be smooth, Miranda decided to take a step in the middle of the war. To realize this plan step by step, this time the war is not one-stop, but a long-term, large-scale war
For Miranda, this is a national war, a battle of the life and death of Guan Donghu. The civil strife in Yan State gave Miranda the opportunity to launch an all-out war. Yu Zhou Yuan, Taiwei of Yan who brought down Linghu Chao, Ning Zecheng, doctor of imperial censor, and Ye Tiannan never imagined that Miranda didn't want to fight and leave, but wanted to completely defeat Yan Kingdom. They all put all their minds on the internal struggle, and Zhang Shouyue, the prefect of Liaoxi County, who bore the brunt, in order to feudalize Liaoxi and make Liaoxi his fiefdom, knew that Miranda might launch a war against Liaoxi. Under the circumstances, only the strength of two armies was invested, and they planned to defend first, and after the settlement of Langya County, the fief of Linghu Chao, they would gather the forces of other counties to counterattack Miranda
If they knew about Miranda's determination and plan, would they take it for granted? To them, they still don't know anything about Miranda's plan. Apart from him and Thorpe, even Tulu and Yan Qi, two absolute confidants, never understood
Under such circumstances, how could Thorpo not be angry that the horse bandit Sha Potian dared to stroke Donghu King's beard! He must not allow anyone to sabotage Donghu's grand plan this time
"Arenda, lead your men to find Sha Potian and kill him!" Thorpe's eyes were cold, and he could hardly control his anger. There is no room for him to survive such a thing as the horse bandit Sha Potian, but now it is good, all the ministries want to preserve their strength, and they don't want to fight this vicious leader of the horse bandit, but let him sit on the big ~IndoMTL.com~ more and more The more arrogant
"My lord, Sha Po Tian Lai Wu Ying, Go Wu Tiao, where can I find him?" Arenda looked at Thorpe who was a bit out of control, and was a little embarrassed, "It's not difficult to annihilate him, but where can I find him? So For many years, we have never touched his shadow"
Tulu also stood up, "My lord, with Sha Potian's acting style, if he succeeds in one blow, he will definitely run away. Arenda, it is indeed difficult to find him."
Thorpe was doused with a basin of cold water, which made him calm down a little, sat down slowly, and pondered for a while, "Even if Arenda can't find him, you must go out and put on a posture It's good to scare him away, this Sha Potian is lawless, maybe he will attack again, if you can't find him for a while, then it's good to drive him away"
"Yes, my lord, I finally understand!"
"What the lord means is that you must carefully protect the food and supplies that come to Yulin, so that this kind of attack cannot happen again," Tulu warned, "Of course, you can also think of a way to see if you can lure this person to take the bait." "
"Yes!"
Arenda took orders
