Chapter 424: The Schemer

That night, in the Mobei military camp.

In the commander's tent, Mobei's eldest prince Zatai was enjoying wine and meat while listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Just received the news that General Baru has led his troops to set out and will arrive in seven days at most."

Mobei is different from Dazhao. Dazhao has vast mountains and rivers, and Shangjing is thousands of miles away from the border. Even the nearest city is three or four hundred miles away from the border.

Mobei is dominated by grasslands and snow-capped mountains. Although its territory is vast, it is far less than that of Dazhao. The Mobei royal court was built on the most fertile land, only a thousand miles away from the border.

The grasslands are flat, and Mobei's war horses can gallop unimpeded, making it easy and fast to march. This is also the reason why Mobei tirelessly invades Dazhao every year.

Zatai used a sharp knife to cut off a piece of tender mutton, put it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. He then picked up the wine glass and drank a mouthful of mare's milk. He said with satisfaction: "Has Nanyan sent any letter?" The

subordinate said: "No."

Zatai frowned and said unhappily: "Xiao Lin is a fool. Humans are the first of all wisdom. If human power can't defeat Dazhao, what can a group of beasts do? They let the army waste time and try to take down Dazhao with the beast army. It's ridiculous."

If it weren't too far away and Nanyan's territory was not as good as Dazhao, he would definitely march south to destroy Nanyan.

"Since the eldest prince despises Nanyan, why does he want to join forces with Nanyan?" The subordinates saw Zatai's contempt and were very puzzled.

Zatai glanced at his subordinates and said, "There are no harms and only benefits, so why not do it?"

It was Xiao Lin who proposed to cooperate with Nanyan.

Although Zatai looked down on Nanyan, it was extremely beneficial for Mobei to have Nanyan send troops to contain Dazhao.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Mobei to capture Dazhao alone. Even if it managed to capture it, Mobei would certainly suffer a great loss of vitality. By then, if Nanyan took the opportunity to launch an attack, Mobei would have no power to resist and could only let Nanyan bully it.

Therefore, Zatai accepted Xiao Lin's proposal and joined forces with Nanyan to attack Dazhao.

The subordinates said, "But if it succeeds, Mobei will share half of Dazhao's territory with Nanyan."

Half of Dazhao's territory, what a big piece of fat meat that would be, just thinking about it makes me feel distressed.

Zatai smiled when he heard this, and his smile was extremely cold: "Give half to Nanyan, but it depends on whether they can defend it."

The subordinates were shocked after hearing this: "What the eldest prince means is..."

Zatai cut a piece of meat carelessly and put it into his mouth, and said ambitiously: "Nanyan is not worthy of Mobei, but Dazhao can only belong to Mobei!"

Attacking Nanyan is not a plan, but driving Nanyan out of Dazhao's territory is easy to plan.

With Nanyan's strength, breaking through Yicheng will definitely cause great damage to the military strength, and further advancing will cause even greater losses.

The brave people of Mobei are unmatched in fierceness, and they are not afraid of even the powerful Dazhao, let alone Nanyan.

Zatai's plan was very detailed. His subordinates raised doubts after hearing it: "I heard that the Nanyan Beast Army is extremely ferocious. If we fight against them, how can we win?"

Zatai swallowed the meat in his mouth, glanced at his subordinates, and cursed them as idiots.

"No matter how powerful the Nanyan beast army is, how many of them can there be? How many will be left after the battle with Dazhao? Even if we fight, our Mobei warriors can only defeat a group of beasts."

After hearing this, the subordinates suddenly realized and said respectfully: "The eldest prince is wise and brave, and we are willing to follow him until death."

Zatai raised his eyebrows complacently, threw the knife into the plate, took the hot paper handed by the maid and wiped his hands, and ordered: "Clean up, bring paper and pen."

The maid cleaned up the mess on the table quickly, wiped it quickly, and placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Zatai looked at the maid kneeling on the ground grinding ink, looked at her full chest, and felt a little dry in the mouth.

"The eldest prince, please." The maid ground the ink and moistened the pen and handed it to Zatai.

Zatai took it with his hand, squeezed the fullness, and said wickedly: "You are so good, you will serve me tonight."

"Yes." The maid replied respectfully, with fear and reluctance on her drooping face.

Zatai was wise and brave, handsome, and noble, and should have been the ideal lover of countless Mobei women. But anyone who had contact with Zatai and served him was unwilling to be afraid.

Because Zatai was too fierce in bed, he did not treat women as human beings, but only cared about his own comfort, without caring about how women felt or whether they could bear it.

In these years, the women around Zatai have changed one after another. In addition to those who were tired of Zatai's play with the old and loved the new, he also killed many of them.

Zatai didn't care what the maid thought, he just wanted to finish writing the letter quickly so that he could be free and happy.

This handwritten letter was written to Xiao Lin, informing Xiao Lin of the situation on the border and urging Xiao Lin to quickly capture Yicheng.

After quickly finishing writing, Zatai dried the letter, sealed it, and handed it to his subordinates to send it out immediately.

The subordinates followed the order and left the tent, leaving only Zatai and the maid in the tent.

The maid knelt at Zatai's feet, her body trembling slightly.

Zatai turned a blind eye, casually lay down on the couch behind him, waved and called: "Come here."

"Yes." The maid shrank forward, ready to bear everything that was going to happen.

After the maid approached, under Zatai's stare, she took the initiative to undress.

Zatai stared at the full chest, his face full of lust. When the maid took off her coat, he pulled her on top of him and was about to start, when there was a commotion outside the tent.

"Get out of the way, the princess wants to go in."

"The eldest prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

"Snap!" It was the sound of a whip.

"If you dare to stop me again, the princess will kill you right now!"

The tent was not soundproof, and the people outside the tent were very loud, so Zatai could hear it clearly in the tent.

This crazy woman...

Zatai stood up unhappily and shouted outside the tent: "Let her in."

Zatai knew very well that if she didn't let her in, the crazy woman would really dare to kill people.

The maid on the couch hurriedly climbed down from the couch and picked up the coat on the ground and put it on.

With permission, the tent was opened, and Xiao Shu walked in angrily with a whip in hand.

She glanced around and saw the maid hurriedly dressing in front of the couch, and Zatai in dishevel. Xiao Shu was furious.

"I knew it was you, the seductive bitch, who seduced the prince." Xiao Shu took a few steps forward and whipped the maid.

The maid didn't dare to hide, so she could only bear it.

"Ah! Princess, spare my life..." The whip was so fierce that the maid could not help but cry out for mercy.

However, Xiao Shu turned a deaf ear to her. The more she listened, the more annoyed she became. She continued to raise her hand and whip.

"Have you made enough noise!" Zatai grabbed Xiao Shu's wrist with an extremely dissatisfied look.

Xiao Shu was Xiao Lin's biological sister. She was sent to Mobei by Xiao Lin to marry and became Zatai's princess.

Knowing that Zatai liked women, Xiao Lin wanted to use the marriage as an excuse to let Xiao Shu seduce Zatai and strive for the best interests for Nanyan.

Xiao Shu was indeed beautiful, with a charming and seductive figure. Zatai fell in love with her at first sight.

In the first few days of marriage, Zatai made love with Xiao Shu every day.

But because of Xiao Shu's status as Princess Nanyan, Zatai couldn't act recklessly. He always felt unsatisfied by treating Xiao Shu like other women.

In addition, Xiao Shu was arrogant and jealous, and Zatai didn't like her personality. And Zatai knew very well the purpose of Xiao Shu being with him.

After the novelty wore off, Zatai gave up on Xiao Shu and only treated her as a chess piece, waiting for the right time to abandon her.

But it was obvious that Xiao Shu didn't know her situation.
