Chapter 271
Jiao Zi carefully welcomed the people into the big tent. Eunuch Xi was arrogant, and Jiao Zi did not dare to object.
"General Jiao Zi, I am here on the orders of His Majesty to assist the general in guarding Jimeng Mountain."
Eunuch Xi set the tone right away. To defend Jimeng Mountain to the death was the decision of the court and His Majesty.
"May I ask, Eunuch, does the court have any support?"
"You also know that the situation in the South Courtyard is difficult to change without major measures."
Jiao Zi was powerless to change the court's decision and could only hope that the court's support would arrive soon.
"The support did not arrive so quickly, but His Majesty meant that the South Courtyard's affairs should be resolved in the South Courtyard, which is also the purpose of our family coming here."
Eunuch Xi, this bastard, has been holding on to it, and Jiao Zi really wanted to stab him.
Seeing Jiao Zi's unhappy face, Eunuch Xi stopped.
"General Jiaozi, please look, this is a promise made by an ancestor of the Barbarian Temple, which was given by His Majesty. This is a proof, and we will take it to see the Barbarians."
"I believe that with the Barbarians' faith in the Barbarian Temple, they will not dare to disobey. At the same time, we also brought His Majesty's promise to give the Barbarians enough food and supplies, but the premise is that the Barbarians need to send troops to help us solve the Xia Kingdom's Zhenbei Army."
"In this way, the court army does not have to rush to go to war, and the barbarians can fight for us. We only need to follow the barbarians to repel the Zhenbei Army."
"Even His Majesty means to cooperate deeply with the barbarians and break into the Xia Kingdom together. The barbarians want resources, and we want territory, killing two birds with one stone."
The Liang Kingdom royal family has made a good plan. They can solve the troubles of the South Court without using too many troops themselves, and they can also use the barbarians to break into the Xia Kingdom.
As long as the purpose of this trip is achieved, the situation in the South Court will be reversed in an instant.
With the promise of the ancestors of the Barbarian Temple, the barbarians would never dare to disobey. This matter has the possibility of success, but unfortunately, the barbarians on the opposite side have changed their beliefs.
Listening to Eunuch Xi's boasting, Jiao Zi seemed to have opened a window and understood everything at once.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Jiao Zi shouted loudly.
"Eunuch, given the characteristics of the barbarians, this move will definitely succeed. I'll trouble you with this matter."
Jiao Zi is not stupid. He knows why the barbarians fight. If Liang State provides what the barbarians need, why would the barbarians fight?
Moreover, all parties have noticed the abnormality of the barbarian action this time, and believe that Long Tian has reached an agreement with the barbarians.
Since Long Tian can use the barbarians, why can't Liang State? It's just a matter of the price to pay.
In the long run, if the barbarians are willing to cooperate and enter the northern border, it will be worthwhile to provide any supplies.
"Don't worry, General Jiaozi. This matter cannot be delayed. After we convey the will of His Majesty, we will arrange to meet the leader of the barbarians."
Benefits are often more important than actual wars. Eunuch Xi is confident that he can complete the mission.
That afternoon, Eunuch Xi arranged and agreed on a time to meet with the barbarians.
Although Wu Qi didn't know what Liang State was going to do, and insisted on meeting, and the people came from the capital of Liang State, Wu Qi keenly realized that this seemed to be an opportunity.
If used well, it might be possible to solve the Liang army in Jimeng Mountain as soon as possible.
Soon, Eunuch Xi brought a group of people and came to the camp of the barbarian cavalry in a show of force.
Wu Qi did not show up, but hid in the big tent and sent the barbarian commander Azada to meet Eunuch Xi.
"Why are you here? Is the Liang army going to surrender?"
Azada, like other barbarians, is not good at beating around the bush.
"Hmph, let's see how long you can be so arrogant." Eunuch Xi smiled sinisterly, disdainful in his heart.
"General, we are here to give you a gift this time, but I don't know if you dare to accept it."
As he said this, Eunuch Xi proudly took out a special letter, which was obviously written by the barbarians.
As a high-ranking barbarian, he could naturally recognize that this was the work of the Barbarian Temple.
Azada did not dare to neglect it, and immediately stood up, saluted with the barbarian etiquette, and then took the letter.
"This is the promise of your barbarian ancestors. They will unconditionally help Liang once. This time, we come here to ask you, the barbarian cavalry, to stop attacking Liang's South Courtyard and end the war."
"To express our sincerity, our Majesty has prepared countless food, cotton clothes, minerals and other resources. You can report them when you go back, and the lives of our people will be greatly improved."
"At the same time, on behalf of His Majesty, we hope to reach an agreement with you to attack Xia together, share the spoils of war equally, and all the seized materials will belong to your barbarians. You can even take away a piece of Xia people as slaves. Our army only wants Xia's land."
"Please make a decision as soon as possible. After we report to His Majesty, both sides will act at the same time and fight.The North was caught off guard. "
Eunuch Xi didn't care about Azada's attitude and told the purpose of this trip.
Eunuch Xi also knew that Azada was only the commander of a large army of the barbarians. He might not be able to make decisions in the tribe. He was just a messenger. How could Eunuch Xi care about such a person?
The most important thing is that Eunuch Xi knew the weight of the Barbarian Temple in the barbarians. As long as there was the promise of the ancestors of the Barbarian Temple and the threat to the tribes, they would not dare to violate it.
As Eunuch Xi expected, Azada was indeed a little confused.
This was asking him to betray the North. He didn't have the courage. Seeing Huo Qubing's methods and the current life of the barbarians, Azada did not want his tribe to change.
But the letter in his hand was also a hot potato. The ancestor of the Barbarian Temple was a figure that Azada could not reach. How could he dare to offend him? That would bring destruction to the entire tribe.
Azada was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do. This was the only weakness of the Barbarian Iron Cavalry. The hearts of the senior figures were not firm enough. After all, the influence of the Barbarian Temple on them was too far-reaching.
"So that's it. It's a good plan for Liang State to drive away wolves and swallow tigers and reap the benefits."
A voice sounded, which was obviously different from the accent of the barbarians, and immediately attracted the attention of Eunuch Xi.
Wu Qi walked out from the back. Liang State knew the purpose and there was no need to hide.
"You are from Xia State. It seems that Xia State has indeed colluded with the barbarians. ”
“Xia is known as a country of etiquette, but it cooperated with barbarians and killed countless Liang people. You must pay a painful lesson for such despicable behavior”
When he saw Wu Qi, Eunuch Xi verified all his previous speculations.
“Don’t brag about yourself. You are also making the same calculations. You are just one round behind. What’s the point of talking about nobility and filthiness?”
Wu Qi couldn’t stand it. Everyone relied on their own means. Don’t say such shameless words. It’s embarrassing.
“General, as long as you agree to cooperate, you can set all the conditions.”
There was no point in arguing with Wu Qi, so Eunuch Xi went straight to Azada.
