Chapter 249 Who will take over?
The sun is setting on the mangroves and green mountains, and the grass in the long suburbs is endless green.
Many torches were lit in the royal court.
In the royal tent, the leaders of each department looked solemn.
This year is a year of great disaster. Not only did the Zhou Dynasty suffer from drought, but even the grasslands were deeply affected by it.
Every year, various ministries take advantage of the lush green grass to cut more grass to use as winter fodder for livestock.
But this year, the grass that looks green is actually far less lush than in previous years.
After a crop of grass is cut in a normal year, it only takes a rain for the weeds to grow back overnight.
However, this year, the rain has not fallen.
No matter how they prayed and offered sacrifices, the rain god seemed to be asleep, letting the sun scorch the earth.
Dahan was playing with a handful of green grass in his hand. The grass was very dry and lacked juice.
"Great Khan, except at the foot of Chile Mountain and next to Helan Mountain, the pastures of all tribes are not enough to get enough pasture for the winter. I am afraid that many tribesmen and livestock will die this winter."
Some people are eager to try: "How about we go threshing grass earlier this year?"
Threshing grass refers to going south to rob the surrounding people.
In their eyes, the border residents of Dazhou are like weeds. After one crop is cut, there will be another crop.
At this time, the strong man wearing a tortoise shell necklace retorted: "Those border people are worse than herdsmen! Marquis Yongchang scraped three feet of the ground at the border and barely boiled the bones of these border people into oil."
The strong man sighed, not because he pitied the border people, but because he felt that his plundering methods were far inferior to those of Da Zhou.
The eldest prince Agula said without hesitation: "Then let's go deeper! Maybe we can go to Kyoto to bring back our younger brother Aginai."
The last sentence is for Aginai. Gina put on eye drops, but the previous sentence was indeed a good suggestion.
Everyone looked at Dahan at the top.
His sweaty palms pinched the grass, but even so, only a little green trace was left on the fingertips.
"Great Khan, there is no general at the border now, we can just take advantage of it!"
"Great Khan, our Chacha Department is willing to be the vanguard!"
Dahan still didn't express his position, his black eyes were as deep as the night sky. At this moment, maybe he thought of the man and the gun and the fire all over the sky.
In the king's tent, there was silence for a while, except for the crackling sound of the bonfire in the center, and sparks floating into the air, catching everyone's eyes.
"Report! Report!"
The ordering soldier dismounted, ran over at top speed, and knelt on his knees: "The second prince led a group of dead soldiers to attack the Yongchang Hou Mansion at night. Yongchang Hou died, and the second prince was captured! "
Everyone was shocked and stood up with a bang.
"The second prince was arrested?!" The people of the second prince's faction were like mourning their concubines, and the grassland would not recognize a prince who had become a prisoner as their leader.
The second prince, Aginai, completely withdrew from the battle for the throne.
The corners of Agula's mouth grew wider and wider. If it weren't for the fact that his father was here, he would have laughed with his hands on his hips.
The neutral faction was also very excited: "Great Khan, this opportunity must not be missed, it will never come back! The second prince has created a great opportunity for us. According to the behavior of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who will they send to guard the pass? We’ll be arguing for a month or two! This is our chance to launch a big attack!”< br>
The Great Khan no longer remained silent and waved his hand: "All the troops are listening to the order and prepare to go south within three days!"
"Okay, let's thresh the grass!"
< br>“I like Dazhou’s mother-in-law the most, her skin is delicate and resistant to cysts.”
"I like their porcelain best. Although it is fragile, it is as beautiful as suet!"
As soon as I heard that threshing of straw was about to begin, there was a burst of warm cheers outside the king's tent. Everyone was looking forward to it. A good harvest of threshing grass can help the tribesmen have a good winter.
The unusual movements on the grassland cannot be hidden from the border guards who are always paying attention to them.
Gu Shisan led a small group of Gu Jiajun and went deep alone. After a brief investigation, he immediately traveled day and night and ran back to the border town to report the news.
"Lieutenant General, all the thirteen main troops of the Northern Royal Court are showing signs of mobilizing troops!"
The deputy general's hair was gray. At this time, he was sitting on a wooden chair, beating his knees with his hands.
Obviously he is only in his fifties, but his face is full of ridges, and the center of his eyebrows are Sichuan lines caused by years of frowning.
"All thirteen units are dispatched?" The deputy general's heart sank.
They have long been prepared that the northern border will move southward this year. After all, this year's drought has spread widely, and life in the north will be difficult. They will definitely move southward.
But unexpectedly, in previous years they only dispatched two or three tribes, but this year they planned to dispatch thirteen tribes, and all of them were the main force of the royal court.
“They are bullying us!” The deputy general laughed angrily.
The Northern Territory is different from the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou is a centralized system, but the Northern Territory is one tribe after another, united together.
Wang Ting controls twenty tribes. In addition to him, there are also King Zuo Xian and King You Xian, who are slightly less powerful than him.
Normally, in order to prevent being backstabbed, when they go south to thresh grain grass, they will select one or two tribes from each of the three parties to participate in the battle.
As a result, this time it was Wang Ting’s main force that made up most of the effort!
It can be seen that the Great Khan of the North believes that this time is a sure shot and the best opportunity to strengthen his own strength!
The strength of the Great Khan of the North will rise sharply by then.
Gu Shisan also understood and gritted his teeth and said: "Then we will let them come with their lives and come back with their lives! We were able to drive them out of the grassland back then, and we can definitely do it now!"
< br>“Kill!”
"Kill!"
The Gu family army is murderous. They have a blood feud with the Northern Territory and will fight to the death!
"Message sent from Kyoto! Ajinai attacked the Yongchang Hou Mansion at night, Yongchang Hou died, and Ajinai was arrested!"
The letter from the messenger was like a wake-up call, giving the whole Gu family army a hard time. A basin of cold water.
Ask what the Gu Jiajun are most afraid of. They are not afraid of death, nor are they afraid of the fierce northern cavalry.
What they are most afraid of are those literati who cannot wield swords and guns, but think they have read a few military books!
"What can we do now? If Yongchang Hou is dead, who will the Holy Emperor send?"
"Looking at the court in Kyoto, there is only one Li Aotian who can understand military affairs. However, Li Aotian is deeply Trusted by the emperor, it is impossible to send border guards to protect the safety of Kyoto."
"No! Those people can only talk on paper. If they really go to the battlefield, they will be like headless flies, scurrying around!"
"Lieutenant general, whether it is in terms of qualifications or merit, Said, you are completely qualified for the position of border guard!”
The lieutenant smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just because he was once the God of War, he could not control the border alone.
Gu Jiajun was in a state of misery.
At night, in the camp, Gu Shisan and others gathered in a group, their eyes dull.
“Well, if you don’t expect to send a god of war, don’t send a civil servant who likes laymen to guide experts!”
“It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t know how to fight, as long as he can learn to turn a blind eye. Just close one eye and learn to delegate power.”
Gu Ersan sighed softly: "It would be great if the lady could come to the border."
"You really think that this is impossible!"
It's not a cold, it's a cold. Impotence... The doctor said to use nematvir. This medicine is so expensive. The key is that it is not easy to buy
