But then again, the Third Prince is not so foolish.
Shi Wushuang's decision was too sudden.
The reason is a bit unrealistic.
The Third Prince asked doubtfully, "How could they be willing to attack again after just suffering a defeat?"
Shi Wushuang explained, “That’s why I have to go to the grassland in person to convince them.
This time, asking them to send troops is completely different from last time.
The last time they sent out troops, they fought alone, and their forces were extremely scattered, which allowed Li Ye to find a flaw.
The Ruoman tribe has already replenished its troops.
The strength has returned to its peak.
It's just that the new recruits don't have enough combat experience.
They are using the invasion as an opportunity to train new soldiers."
"I see! If all the enemy nations unite, defeating Li Ye will be no problem."
"Actually, I had another plan when I went to the grassland to persuade them to send troops.
It is well known that once a war breaks out, the consumption of food and fodder will increase significantly.
Your Highness can take this opportunity to provide them with food and consumable ironware, and make a fortune.
With enough money, Your Highness can also cultivate fields and build a city here to develop your own power.
I've figured it out these days.
No matter what Li Ye does, Your Highness must do it better than him.
This way, you can gain the emperor's approval and have more chances to seize the throne."
After hearing Shi Wushuang's words, the third prince was deeply moved.
I didn't expect that he would go to such lengths to help me.
All my doubts about him disappeared in an instant.
She excitedly grabbed his hand and said, "I really don't know how to thank you.
I believe that as long as we work together, we can definitely achieve success.
When I inherit the throne, I will definitely make you the highest official.
Let us share the world's prosperity together."
Shi Wushuang sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face was extremely sincere.
"Wushuang said he would fully assist Your Highness, and he will definitely do his best."
"Go ahead, and if you need any help, just send someone to tell me.
As long as the barbarians are willing to send troops, I will agree."
"Your Highness, please wait for news from him!"
Shi Wushuang said goodbye to him and headed for the grassland in a carriage.
Not long after entering the grassland, they immediately encountered the barbarian patrol army.
Stop them.
Shi Wushuang immediately revealed his identity: "I am Shi Wushuang from Yunlu Pavilion. Take me to see your king immediately."
Hearing that the man in front of them was unrivaled in the world, the barbarian soldiers did not dare to neglect him.
You should know that the Grand Elder of Yunlu Pavilion is still helping the barbarians.
He immediately bowed respectfully and said, "So you are our most distinguished guest, Wushuang Xiaozi. Please come with us, Wushuang Xiaozi."
The king will surely be very happy to know that you are coming."
Shi Wushuang nodded with an air of pride: "Then thank you for your help!"
Led by the soldiers, they quickly arrived at the tent of the Manchu king.
The Barbarian King also received the news in advance and hurried out to greet him.
Now Shi Wushuang is their favorite. All the contraband items obtained on the grassland are prepared by Shi Wushuang.
Although I know that Shi Wushuang took a lot of money from it, I did help them out.
He personally led people out to greet him: "So it is Wushuang Jizi who has come to visit. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."
Shi Wushuang and Qin Qingxue got off the carriage together.
Seeing Qin Qingxue, all the barbarian soldiers instantly became tense.
They all stared at her.
"Isn't this the female general Dayuan? I didn't expect that she would come to visit our grassland."
A general made provocative remarks to his face.
Shi Wushuang ignored him and the Barbarian King said, "Although we were enemies in the past, we are friends now.
Qingxue is now a disciple of our Yunlu Pavilion and has become my master's disciple.
This time I came here to help you too!"
The Barbarian King immediately realized what was happening and turned to his men, shouting, "What do you know? We were each doing our own thing before, but now you are our distinguished guest. No one is allowed to be rude to General Qin."
Qin Qingxue's expression finally eased a lot.
He said, "I apologize for any offense I've caused you, Your Majesty, and I hope you'll forgive me!"
The Barbarian King showed great generosity, waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Your Majesty has always admired General Qin immensely, and what you respect most is a heroine like General Qin.
We are so happy to be allies!
Come quickly, come and sit in the camp!
I'll send someone to invite the Great Elder over right away!"
Shi Wushuang and Qin Qingxue were warmly invited in and sat in the VIP seats.
The Great Elder was invited over and the two sides exchanged greetings for a while.
The Great Elder also received the news and looked very pleased.
At this time, the Barbarian King asked, "I wonder what brings you here, Wushuang? If you need any help, please let me know!"
I will do my best as long as I can help you."
Shi Wushuang said sternly, "I came here this time hoping that all of you countries would unite and send troops to attack Dayuan."
When everyone present heard this, they were all stunned.
I never expected that they would be asked to do this.
Many generals were eager to try.
After they recovered their strength, some people wanted to continue the war.
After all, after buying the equipment, their performance level plummeted.
The easiest way to improve the situation is to send troops to plunder.
The barbarian king was stunned at first and then frowned.
He politely refused: "You don't know, Wushuang, but after the last defeat, our strength has been greatly damaged.
If it weren't for Prince Dayuan's greed and selling us the equipment, we probably wouldn't be able to recover until now.
Even if the troops are replenished, they still lack training.
It would take at least a year of training to fully recover combat effectiveness.
Now is not the right time to send troops to attack Dayuan."
Shi Wushuang said sternly, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, but I'm not entirely right.
It is well known that the barbarian cavalry is unmatched in the world. All tribesmen ride horses all year round, and after a little training they become elite troops.
No matter how much training you do, the effect won't be as good as participating in actual combat."
The Barbarian King simply rejected Shi Wushuang's request.
"I appreciate your kindness, Master Wushuang, but we have no intention of sending troops now. We still need a full year to recuperate."
"Your Majesty, please do not be so hasty to refuse. Since I have asked you to send troops, I am sure that you will win."
Shi Wushuang is full of strong self-confidence.
Sure enough, the curiosity of the barbarian king, Tu Tu, was aroused.
"Does Wushuang have any plans?"
"Yunlu Pavilion has found a powerful ally for you.
As long as you send troops together, Lingshuang Kingdom will immediately send troops to attack Dayuan.
If you attack from both sides, Dayuan will definitely be unable to withstand it.
Just one battle will make up for all the losses.
Do you really want to give up such a great opportunity?"
