Everyone looked over and saw that it was Uncle Kui who was speaking out of opposition.
Han Zhong beside Zhao Muyun asked loudly:
"Why not? Do you just want to live in this desert? With such a great opportunity, why not fight for yourself?"
"That's right. King Zhelan's army has all gone to Shuozhou. The grassland is empty, which is a good opportunity to attack them by surprise." Tang Yanhai also echoed.
When Second Uncle and others heard what Zhao Muyun said, their hearts were already pounding.
But Uncle Kui's coming out to pour cold water on everyone really spoiled everyone's fun.
They all said with displeasure, "Old Fifth, what Captain Zhao said is correct. This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us Wuhuan people to escape the Gobi Desert. Your single objection is useless. Wuhuan affairs are decided by the five of us together."
Huan Naxue was even more confused.
Why would Uncle Kui, who has always supported and cared for her unconditionally, speak out against it in front of Dayin's envoy?
"Uncle Kui, I think what Sergeant Zhao said is very reasonable. Now, while King Zhelan is heading south to fight Dayin, it is a good time for us to help Dayin defeat the Tartars and recapture Shulechuan. Why do you object?"
Uncle Kui said slowly, "Captain Zhao, from what you said, you will lead us to harass King Zhelan's rear first, and then encircle King Zhelan's army in Shuozhou?"
Zhao Muyun didn't know what Uncle Kui was up to, so he nodded.
"Then how many troops do you need us to send?" Uncle Kui asked again.
"Of course the more the better!" Zhao Muyun thought for a moment and said, "I wonder how many people your department can provide?"
"Our entire tribe now has only a thousand households. After the battle just now, there are only three hundred young and strong men left." Uncle Kui's face was gloomy.
"Three hundred is three hundred. Although it's a little less, as long as you follow me, you will definitely be able to play the greatest role."
Zhao Muyun said with great confidence.
"But these three hundred people are the last remaining young and strong men of our tribe. If anything goes wrong, our tribe will be devastated and may even perish."
Uncle Kui said slowly, "I also know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but we can't afford to lose, so we must proceed with caution."
"Uncle Kui, you also saw the capabilities of Sergeant Zhao and his soldiers just now at the narrow passage!"
"Even if we hadn't shown up, they would have been able to wipe out these one hundred Tartars."
"They are envoys from Dayin, bringing us the imperial edict from the Dayin Emperor. They are here to help our tribe, and we should trust them unconditionally. How can we stop fighting the Tartars just because we are worried about casualties?"
Although Uncle Kui was thinking about the tribe, it was indeed inappropriate to say this in front of Zhao Muyun and others.
Huan Naxue immediately retorted angrily.
Uncle Kui muttered to himself: This girl, back when we were at the narrow passage, she had said that we should let them and the Tartars fight each other until both sides suffered losses, so that the fishermen could reap the benefits. But not long after, she turned her elbow outward and started to speak in favor of the Dayin people.
Facing Huan Naxue's indignation, Uncle Kui smiled faintly.
After listening to Uncle Kui's words, Second Uncle and the other three seemed to be thinking about something.
"Nai Xue, it's not that we don't trust Sergeant Zhao, but we also have to consider the tribe. Your fifth uncle has some truth in what he said. We really don't dare to take this risk."
Afterwards, Second Uncle also expressed his stance and stood with Uncle Kui.
"If you want to fight for the right to survive and seek revenge, how can you do that without sacrifice?"
Zhao Muyun was a little disappointed that these old guys were unwilling to send troops, but he still respected their choice.
Since the Wuhuan people can hide here under the nose of King Zhelan of the Northern Di, there must be other foreign tribes that do not submit to the Northern Di people.
In addition, these three states should still contain many Dayin people who migrated and settled here in the past.
After the Dayin army withdrew, they had no time to leave and were either scattered on the grassland or captured and became slaves of the Tatars.
Zhao Muyun naturally didn't want to hang himself on a tree.
These are the powers he can strive for and discover.
"Since we have delivered the imperial edict and the golden seal, our mission has been accomplished."
"Thank you for disturbing us tonight. We will leave here early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Zhao Muyun cupped his hands, called Han Zhong and Tang Yanhai, and prepared to leave.
Huan Naxue hurried forward to stop Zhao Muyun: "Wait, don't leave yet, I'll persuade them again!"
As she spoke, she turned to her four uncles and said sternly:
"You old stubborn guys are so hesitant. Are we just going to wait for death in this desert?"
"If we don't take the initiative to fight for it, and just want to wait for Dayin's army to recapture the lost territory and then sit back and reap the benefits, then how can we have the face to ask for this piece of water and grass in Fengzhou?"
Uncle Kui remained unmoved: "Beiji, although Zhao Shichang is an envoy of Dayin, he is also a soldier of Dayin. But to be frank, there is no interest between them and us. I am worried..."
Zhao Mu turned his head and smiled coldly: "Are you worried that I will use you as cannon fodder and step on your corpses to get promoted and make money?"
"Those with different ideals cannot work together! The fate of the Wuhuan people will be determined by themselves!"
Tang Yanhai and Han Zhong also stood by with sullen expressions.
It was Zhao Muyun and Ma Bao who treated Uncle Kui's injury, but I didn't expect them to turn around and say such heartless and ungrateful words!
Is it really true that those who are not of my race must have different hearts?
Even Huan Naxue couldn't stand listening to these words. She blushed and stamped her feet, saying, "Uncle Kui, Sergeant Zhao and his men are definitely not that kind of people. It doesn't matter if you don't go. I will take my family and follow Sergeant Zhao out of this desert."
Looking at her like this, she looks like a little girl who is about to elope.
Zhao Muyun couldn't help but look at her twice more. This woman really can't be judged by appearance!
