Chapter 510: Fantastic Thoughts
Aruda was silent for a while before answering, "I don't know."
For some reason, the more he walked on the land of Dajin, the more images appeared in his mind, and all of them were related to this place.
He had a vague answer to the princess's question in his heart, but he knew that even if he said it out loud, the princess would not believe it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know," Rong Shaomin suddenly smiled strangely, "I'll wait until I capture more people and bring them back. Are you still worried that my Jun tribe's land can't grow food?"
It is certainly possible that the Jun tribe’s land cannot grow crops, but they do not know the planting techniques, so the grain yield is extremely low.
Over the years, the Jun people have also captured some people from the Dajin tribe one after another, but because of their brutality, the Dajin people who were captured have no desire to live, and no one has the heart to farm seriously.
Rong Shaomin led Aruda and the only two remaining followers straight to Kyoto.
Aruda looked at Rong Shaomin's back in front of him with a complicated expression.
After they came out of northern Hubei that day, the princess did not return to the Jun tribe as planned, but chose to go south to the capital of Dajin.
As proud as Rong Shaomin was, he was unwilling to give up after failing to accomplish anything great during his first trip, and he refused to go back no matter what.
They had originally planned to go outside the Great Wall, but when they were imprisoned in northern Hubei, Rong Shaomin remembered that the queen mother of the Jiayu tribe was from the Dajin people, and if she asked for cooperation, they might not necessarily respond.
But she was unwilling to return to the Jun tribe like this. I don’t know what she was thinking, but she actually led people towards the capital of Dajin.
Aruda guessed something. Even though Rong Shaomin was his favorite princess, he couldn't help but think of the word "fantastic" in his mind.
That's right, Aruda guessed that Rong Shaomin came to the capital just to seek cooperation with the dignitaries of the Jin Dynasty, or even the emperor of the Jin Dynasty!
It has to be said that Aruda knew Rong Shaomin quite well, but Rong Shaomin was bolder than he thought. She didn't even consider cooperating with dignitaries. Her only target was Sheng Zhan.
The King of Zhao occupied the six northwestern prefectures of Yuzhou, Linzhou, Wuzhou, and Chenzhou, adding to his original fiefdom of Jinzhou, for a total of seven prefectures. After the loss of Yuzhou and Wuzhou, the Jin court lost its morale and no one spoke out.
On the fifth day of the second month of the first year of Yufeng, King Zhao, in the name of the former crown prince Shengze, declared that the six northwestern states and Jinzhou had separated from the Jin Dynasty, and vowed to take back the world that belonged to the former crown prince.
As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.
On the eighth day of the second lunar month, the news reached northern Hubei, and Liang Cheng was so angry that he smashed the table with one palm.
"The Prince of Zhao has an unyielding ambition, and his will to steal from the Jin Dynasty remains unquenched!"
Niu Manzi was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck became thick. "Isn't this obviously separating us from the court? If we want to pass the message out in the future, we either have to take the risk of borrowing the road from Chenzhou, or we can only take a detour from outside the pass. Isn't that a mess?"
If we take a detour outside the Great Wall, not to mention the safety issue, the distance alone is daunting. It would take more than a month to reach the capital by riding a fast horse. If this were wartime, by the time the court's order came, it would be too late.
Sheng Ze frowned, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Liang Cheng and said, "He wants the Hubei Army to be isolated. When they are ready, they can take Hubei at any time."
To put it simply, although King Zhao seemed to control seven prefectures, half of northern Hubei was also under their control.
"It seems we must make preparations as soon as possible. It will take at least two years for King Zhao to recover. If we can store enough food and military pay during this period, we won't have to be afraid of him two years later." Zheng Shicheng took over the conversation.
Liang Cheng and Sheng Ze looked at each other, both of them had the same worry in their hearts.
"I'm dying. I've been feeling dizzy and have a stomachache today. I don't know what's wrong. Please take a day off today and I'll make up for it later."
