"I let two Sheffield men go back."
"Didn't they tell Empress Catherine about their experiences?"
Ji Yanran shook her head: "My lord, I am not aware of this matter."
How long have they been gone?
"I just received a message by carrier pigeon, dated the day before yesterday." Ji Yanran ground the ink and laid out the paper.
Jiang Tian was writing at his desk.
A letter was written in one go.
After sealing the letter, Jiang Tian said, "Since Kutuzov and Bolkonsky are personally leading the team, let's not stand on ceremony. Let's hurry up and set off. I'm going to annihilate their 200,000-strong army on their Russian territory."
"this……"
"Give this letter to Ling Yunzhi and have him send it back to China by carrier pigeon right now."
Jiang Tian walked out of the study.
"Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, pass down the order that all soldiers must be fully equipped and ready to depart within one hour."
"Yes..." Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba said in unison.
Li Yuanba leaned closer: "My lord, I didn't eavesdrop, but I just heard something about an army of 200,000."
"My lord, are we going to have to fight another battle?"
Jiang Tian nodded.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba was overjoyed and rushed out of the palace.
In less than an hour, the 2,000-strong army was fully prepared and ready to go.
Upon hearing this, Li Fengnian quickly brought his men over.
"My lord, why not stay in the palace for a few more days?"
“The Rakshasa have sent an army of 200,000,” Jiang Tian glanced at Li Fengnian, “and they are heading straight for your Northern Liang.”
Li Fengnian became nervous upon hearing this.
The civil and military officials under Li Fengnian looked at Jiang Tian with unusual tension.
Even if the Kushan Empire had a 2 million-strong army, Jiang Tian would never have acted like this.
"My lord, how does this Rakshasa compare to the Kushan Empire?"
"The Kushans are like cow dung on the ground; they are not worth mentioning at all. They are just a bunch of undeveloped barbarians."
"The Rakshasa army of 200,000 men is equipped with firearms."
"In addition, there are one or two thousand cannons."
Before Jiang Tian could finish speaking, Li Fengnian turned pale with fright: "My lord, what should we do?"
200,000 people and 200,000 muskets.
There are also one or two thousand cannons.
This is something that Beiliang cannot stop, no matter what.
Qi Dangguo: "Even if everyone in Beiliang were a soldier, we would still be no match for them."
Li Yunfei: "What should we do? The enemy has an army of 200,000 fierce warriors. They are heading for my Northern Liang. My Northern Liang is in danger of being destroyed."
Wang Tianyou: "Please, sir, save my Northern Liang."
Li Fengnian: "Please, sir, you must save my Northern Liang."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian frowned. What was this all about?
These people looked terrified.
It seems they can't stay in this vassal state any longer; they're a bunch of spineless cowards.
"Alright, as long as you pay tribute every year, I'll guarantee you'll be safe."
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he jumped into the car.
Soon, the car slowly started moving.
The dozen or so heavy trucks also slowly started moving.
The procession of over 2,000 people marched in a grand procession toward the Rakshasa Kingdom.
As Jiang Tian's group drove away, Li Fengnian led the others to kneel down in worship.
"Kneel down properly, everyone! As long as Lord Jiang's entourage hasn't disappeared into the distance, no one is allowed to raise their heads!" Li Fengnian roared behind him.
These people knelt there respectfully, prostrating themselves on the ground.
An hour later, everyone slowly raised their heads.
Jiang Tian's team had already disappeared into the distance.
Li Fengnian got up from the ground.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"The enemy has 200,000 troops, all armed, and a 1,000-cannon arsenal. Your 2,000 men are no match for them," Qi Dangguo said, deeply worried.
"What can we do now? We can only place all our hopes on Lord Jiang." Li Fengnian sighed deeply.
"There's one more thing, what exactly did you beasts do?" Li Fengnian suddenly thought of something.
"Your Majesty, what is it?"
"The Western Xia, Tubo, and Dali all presented gifts to Lord Jiang."
And what did we offer? Besides those four girls, there were no treasures the adults even remotely considered.”
Everyone quickly lowered their heads and remained silent.
"You bunch of useless trash, what use are you to me? You're utterly useless when it matters."
...
After setting off, Jiang Tian and his group of more than 2,000 people sped off towards the northwest.
Not long after leaving Beiliang, a vast grassland stretched out before them.
Jiang Tian held the steering wheel with one hand and the compass with the other.
This place is extremely desolate.
"This Rakshasa Kingdom occupies a vast territory, but what's the use of such a vast territory?" Jiang Tian looked around and saw that everywhere was grassland, desert, and Gobi.
These places serve no purpose other than being natural grasslands.
The Russians occupied such a large area, but they didn't know how to develop and utilize it.
The Rakshasa region is vast, but their total population is pitifully small.
Ji Yanran looked at the boundless grasslands, Gobi Desert, and beaches.
"If our Tianxia Society were to take over this place and allow people to raise horses and cattle there, the profits would be absolutely substantial."
“We’ve been driving for half a day and haven’t seen a single person. Your Tianxia Society can easily take over this place.”
Jiang Tian knew that without people, no matter how large the land area was, it was useless.
"Why didn't the 16 countries of the grasslands relocate their herders to this place?" Ling Yunzhi looked out the car window at the distant grasslands. Although the weather was cold, the grass was growing quite lushly.
"I wonder where the Xiongnu Chanyu has led his men in the northwest direction." Jiang Tian looked around with his binoculars.
He didn't see a single person, not even a cow or sheep.
Looking around, I did see quite a few gazelles.
These wild gazelles were all plump and strong.
There were quite a few wolves darting back and forth in the grass.
When Jiang Tianyang's two tigers saw the herd of gazelles, they immediately charged at them like madmen.
Soon, the tiger roared across the grasslands.
This herd of gazelles was enormous.
Each flock of sheep has several thousand yellow sheep.
The two tigers immediately unleashed their wild nature upon arriving on this grassland.
These gazelles live carefree lives here; they've never seen such a huge creature as a tiger before.
Soon, the two tigers roared one after the other, and dragged back the dead gazelle.
They were having a great time.
Jiang Tian was extremely excited when he saw it.
Just then, two white falcons appeared in the sky.
"My lord, it must be the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu arriving." Chen Feilong recognized the two white falcons at a glance.
Jiang Tian nodded.
"Wait here for them for a while. I estimate they are not far from us."
Jiang Tian jumped out of the car.
Sure enough, soon the sound of horses' hooves echoed from the ground.
The Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu led tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry on a fierce attack.
The Xiongnu Chanyu also spotted Jiang Tian's vehicle at a glance.
