However, it also carries a huge risk, namely, the unauthorized deployment of troops.
This was unacceptable to both the Wu Dynasty and the Di royal court.
However, since the order to the Zhenbei military was given personally by Zhao Tingting, and the soldiers were willing to comply, no one reported it.
The Di royal court was in chaos and had no time to attend to matters here.
The princess sent by the Wu Dynasty for a marriage alliance was returned to the Wu Dynasty in the first year. Each tribe refused to recognize the other, and the Wu Dynasty royal family could not force the marriage and could only condemn it.
After three years of negotiations, battles, and annexations, the royal court has now largely divided its power.
The original four tribes were reduced to two, and the royal court, which cooperated and discussed matters together, had its first king.
Clearly, they can now focus their efforts on dealing with the Wu Dynasty.
Once the incident at Pingliang Fort escalates, the Zhenbei Army's unauthorized deployment of troops into the grasslands will become undetectable, leading to a major war.
We must take down Pingliang Fort as quickly as possible, and also preserve Hecheng.
Zhao Tingduo said in a deep voice, "Stop the mine immediately and bring the soldiers back."
This is not difficult at all. The sergeants are managed by the military camp in the mine, and they work in four shifts. Once they return to Hecheng, they can immediately resume their combat power.
Old Yu nodded: "There is still room for maneuver in this matter. As long as we block the entrance to Pingliang Fort from the grassland, we can catch the Di people riding into the country like turtles in a jar and wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
The report to the capital was presented as a plot to uncover treasonous officials, a deliberate scheme designed to prevent the general from being impeached.
The key here is that time is needed. We cannot allow the Di people to escape back to the Xuyang Grassland on horseback, nor can we allow them to plunder and kill within the territory of the Wu Dynasty.
After saying this, Old Master Yu said to Zhao Tingduo, "Third Young Master, the general will definitely intercept them within the territory, and we will need your cooperation on the grasslands!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the study became tense.
