Urgent news from Weibian?
Yun Zheng frowned. Could it be that Beihuan attacked Weibian?
Does Beihuan still dare to launch a long-distance attack now?
Yun Zheng quickly took the letter handed over by Lu Xing.
Upon seeing this, Yun Zheng’s brows immediately relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.
This is a letter sent by Dugu Ce from Weibian.
Qiuchi attacked Beimoduo, and the chieftain of Beimoduo sent an envoy to ask Dagan for help.
As long as Dagan sends troops to support it, Beimoduo is willing to submit to Dagan and become a vassal state of Dagan.
At present, the envoys of Beimotu have arrived at Weibian.
Dugu Ce asked Yun Zheng whether to send troops to rescue.
...
...
"Okay, go ahead and do your work! I have something else to do."
Yun Zheng put away the letter and turned to look at Zhang Xu.
"All right!"
Zhang Xu nodded and said with a chuckle, "Your Highness, just wait to count the silver!"
"good!"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, then left the workshop with Lu Xing.
On the way back, Yun Zheng showed Lu Xing another letter.
After Lu Xing finished reading, he asked, "What do you think?"
Lu Xing pondered for a while, then replied: "Beimu is far away from us. Even if we send troops from the pastureland to support them, it will take some time! I think we don't need to support Beimoduo. When Beimoduo and Qiuchi are almost done fighting, it won't be too late for us to take action..."
Beimotuo is located about 300 miles northwest of the Muma Grassland.
Beimotu is said to be a country, but in fact it is equivalent to a relatively large tribe of Beihuan.
Bei Moduo has always been following Bei Huan.
In the Battle of Shuobei six years ago, Beimotu also sent 5,000 troops to serve as Beihuan's minions and followed Beihuan to attack Dagan.
You know, even if the entire Beimotu sold everything they had, they probably couldn't muster 7,000 troops.
Sending 5,000 men to follow Bei Huan in attacking Dagan could almost be said to be the limit of Bei Motu.
Beimotu helped Beihuan so much in the past, but now he comes to ask for a big job. Lu Xing must be unhappy about it.
He hoped that Beimotu and Qiuchi would both suffer heavy losses so that he could give the defeated party a good beating.
Listening to Lu Xing's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but secretly shook his head and asked again: "Do you think Beimotu is useful to us?"
Is it useful?
Lu Xing began to think again.
What use can Beimoduo have for Dagan?
Could it be that His Highness wants to annex Beimoduo?
Want to let those people in Beimoduo collect peat?
Or, do you simply want a vassal state?
Or, turn the people of Beimotu into Dagan's vassal army?
If Your Highness helps His Majesty conquer another vassal state, His Majesty should be very happy, right?
After pondering for a while, Lu Xing told Yun Zheng his thoughts.
“These are not the most important!”
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Think about it again!"
None of them?
Lu Xing frowned.
He knew that Yun Zheng was training him, so he thought about it very carefully.
After thinking hard for a while, Lu Xing still couldn't figure it out.
"I am stupid."
Lu Xing smiled embarrassedly.
"Let's continue thinking from the vassal army!"
Yun Zheng didn't say it directly, but just reminded Lu Xing, "Don't focus all your attention on the battlefield. There are many things outside the battlefield."
Something beyond the battlefield?
Lu Xing racked his brains to think.
Your Highness still wants the people of Beimoduo to become their vassal army?
If that’s the case, why did it get dragged beyond the battlefield?
Lu Xing thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that he really couldn't think of anything, Yun Zheng continued, "Before, you and a few others recognized a person as your boss, but now, the boss you recognized has been beaten to death, and you took the opportunity to start beating your boss and annexing your boss's territory and money. What do you think those people will do if they find out?"
"this……"
Lu Xing thought about it, and gradually, a look of understanding appeared on his face. "Your Highness means that if you want Beimotu to attack Beihuan, the small countries around Beihuan that are dependent on Beihuan will follow suit and attack Beihuan?"
"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Beihuan is dying, it is not without the ability to fight back."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Once Beimotu attacks Beihuan, those small countries may not all follow suit, but they will definitely have this idea in mind! As long as Beihuan suffers a major defeat or gets into trouble, they will probably all follow suit..."
This does not depend on whether those small countries follow Beimotu to fight Beihuan.
The purpose is to stir up the hearts of those small countries and make them want to bite Beihuan if they get the chance.
Beimoduo attacked Beihuan, robbed Beihuan's livestock, and killed Beihuan's people. If Beihuan did not intervene, let alone whether Beihuan could swallow this humiliation, as long as Beihuan dared not to intervene, other small countries would follow suit.
But once Beihuan attacks Beimoduo, won’t their chance come?
Beimoduo was the bait they threw to Beihuan.
Whether Bei Huan manages Bei Motu or not, it will be beneficial to them!
Listening to Yun Zheng's slow words, Lu Xing suddenly realized.
There are so many twists and turns here?
"Your Highness is a man of great talent. I admire you!"
Lu Xing said sincerely.
What a talent!
Can't even burn glass.
Yun Zheng secretly complained about himself in his heart, and then said: "You have to look further! Not only should you care about the victory or defeat on the battlefield, but also care about things outside the battlefield! Winning without bloodshed is the greatest victory!"
"I understand!"
Lu Xing nodded seriously and asked again: "Your Highness, do you think Bei Mo Tuo will send an envoy to Bei Huan for help?"
“That’s unclear.”
Yun Zheng shook his head. “Bei Mo Tuo may think that Bei Huan is in trouble and will not ask Bei Huan for help, but it is also possible that they will ask for help from both us and Bei Huan at the same time! Of course, this may also be Bei Huan’s conspiracy to trick us into sending troops to rescue Bei Mo Tuo and then attack us…”
He is not a god, it is impossible for him to predict everything.
Anyway, there are only three possibilities at the moment.
Moreover, all three situations are very likely.
The specific details can only be known after investigation.
Lu Xing thought about it and nodded slightly.
It seems that we still need to be cautious about this matter!
After returning to the palace in Dingbei, Yun Zheng wrote a letter back to Dugu Ce and asked Lu Xing to send someone to deliver it to Weibian.
After the letter was sent, Yun Zheng asked Lu Xing again: "Do you know anyone who can train eagles?"
Forget about the idea of sending messages by carrier pigeon on the grassland.
Pigeons can only serve as snacks for the raptors on the grassland.
"Yes, there are people in Beihuan who are good at training eagles." Lu Xing nodded and said, "However, using war eagles to send messages has both advantages and disadvantages! Even tamed war eagles are very aggressive..."
Beihuan did have war eagles, but because they took a long time to tame and were difficult to do, their numbers were very small.
The distances between the various tribes of Beihuan were relatively far, and the war eagles would easily get hungry.
In this way, the war eagle was attracted by the prey during the communication process and forgot about the communication.
Moreover, even for tamed eagles, it is common for them to run away with the notes they have delivered.
In addition, the eagle is a bird of prey with a strong sense of territory.
When a war eagle enters the territory of another eagle, it is easily attacked.
Because of these reasons, few people would use eagles to transmit important military secrets.
Otherwise, if we fall into the hands of the enemy, we will be doomed.
However, there is a kind of falcon called the white falcon in the territory of Beihuan. It flies very fast and is extremely rare. If it is used to send messages, the possibility of losing the message will be much smaller.
However, it is not 100% possible to deliver.
Is that so?
Yun Zheng thought about it, then shook his head.
never mind!
I'll talk about it later when I can find a suitable eagle!
