It was a rubbing of a memorial, and the content was shocking. It was Jiang Fan who paid homage to the empress, saying that the four kingdoms of Jin, Chu, Wei, and Xia were at war for the purpose of plundering resources, and that the Qin Dynasty had no good excuse to participate in the war. He suggested that she turn her target to the northern frontier, plunder cattle, sheep, and horses, and at the same time pacify the country. On the other side, prepare for the future plan to pacify the five countries.
Judging from the current situation, the bellicose mad woman obviously agreed greatly.
The appearance of this memorial made everyone on the grassland realize the seriousness of the problem. Furthermore, the conditions of the empress must be treated with caution.
After several discussions, the Great Wolf Lord believed that the idea proposed by King Zuo Xian was very desirable.
The Big Wolf Lord pretended to mediate between the two parties, and then invited Jiang Xiaoyao to come to the border for talks in the name of King Hunxie. Finally, he proposed a bet in the name of the Fuli Conference. Didn't the other party want Princess Crescent Moon? Let's call her whatever. Montaigne participated in the conference, agreed to the other party's conditions if he won, and returned to Qin if he lost.
In order to show the toughness of the grassland, King Zuo Xian and King You Xian were willing to cooperate with King Hunxie and mobilize troops to move to the Qin border to exert pressure. They were not afraid that Jiang Xiaoyao would not accept the bet.
The method is very good. After all, in the eyes of the barbarians, it is impossible for the Qin people to win the Fuli Conference. Apart from other things, if the Wolf God approves this one, there is no hope of getting through. And this is the most important one. Even if you win, The first two items are useless if they are not recognized by the Wolf God in the end.
Seeing that everyone was so cooperative, although King Hunxie felt that something was wrong for some reason, he could not refuse the good intentions of the Great Wolf Lord and the Right and Left Wise Kings, so he could only accept it.
It's just that this plan completely deviated from King Hunxie's original intention.
Only then did Jiang Fan understand why the Maru tribe suddenly and inexplicably invaded the border in winter. The reason lies in the situation of King Hunxie. It's very bad. Now King Zuo Xian's tribe had some unknown channels, and owned a large amount of spirits, refined salt, tea bricks, and other valuable items. Through these, they all suddenly became very rich and their army became stronger.
King Youxian was already much stronger than him, so between the two of them, King Hunxie felt like he was in danger.
The Soul-Slaying King's tribe is not on the border with him, and naturally has no plans to form an alliance with him. There is only one way in front of him, and he must become strong as soon as possible.
There are currently two methods. One is to obtain the Crescent Ranch adjacent to it and expand the sphere of influence. Second, find ways to plunder, which is what the barbarians have done for thousands of years.
To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in Crescent Ranch. Although his second son was very brave and good at fighting, he really had no confidence that he could defeat Battle, who was known as the first warrior on the grassland.
Then we have to plunder, and I don’t know if King Hunxie listened to someone’s advice, saying that Da Qin is currently suffering from internal and external troubles and does not dare to use force easily. This is the time to plunder the benefits.
So King Hunxie encouraged his son-in-law to launch a tentative attack to see how Da Qin would react.
But he never expected that his head would be cut off by a reckless gang. Then Malu's sons lost control because they wanted revenge, and contacted thirteen tribes to invade Qin.
But soon, they discovered that Da Qin was different from the past. It reacted extremely fiercely and even fought across the border repeatedly. This state had never appeared in the history of the Chinese nation.
Just when King Hunxie was in a state of despair, the Empress of Qin threw out a tough statement, demanding that she pay compensation, and also used it as a pretext to ask Princess Crescent to marry her.
After being furious, King Hunxie realized that this seemed to be an opportunity to use the Crescent Moon Princess to drag the Big Wolf Lord into trouble. Once a large-scale war is launched, relying on the advantage of being bordered by Qin, one will definitely gain the most.
It is a pity that King Zuo Xian and King You Xian, who had always been at odds with each other in the past, were surprisingly consistent on this matter. They actually changed their minds and became a gamble with Qin.
Regardless of winning or losing, I didn't get any benefit at all.
Then he thought about it carefully and probably understood that it was because the wise kings on the left and right didn't want to become stronger, so he was annoyed and angry and sent people to the Soul Slayer King's tribe again to seek an alliance...
Jiang Fan went through the grassland scene twice in his mind and finally smiled. The wise kings on the left and right have a tacit understanding of cooperation this time. In the middle, Prince Du Lun and Na Zhongxing said that Zeng Xi had made the greatest contribution.
Of course, in addition to his own deployment, he understood that the wise kings on the left and right really did not want the Hunxie King in the gap to become stronger. The kings of the grassland were fighting against each other like the five kingdoms. This was a prerequisite for the success of the plan.
But there is a question, who instructed King Hunxie to plunder Qin?
Jiang Fan fell into deep thought for a while.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mr. Jiang finished a bowl of glutinous rice balls, wiped his mouth, took seven little dogs and two dogs, and rode straight to the north with his whip raised.
This trip has three purposes.
First, try to keep the Crescent Tribe independent and promote internal disputes in the grassland.
Second, carry forward the prestige of the Qin Dynasty and intimidate Taiyue and the four countries.
Third, engage in a head-to-head gambling battle with Feng Chen, and explore whether the Feng family has colluded with the barbarians.
Of course, there is a very important person involved in this matter, and Jiang Fan has to meet him first.
The brave general, Montaigne.
Before the meeting, Jiang Fan was very embarrassed. After all, he sacrificed Brother Montaigne for various purposes, but I don’t know what he would think, especially if he would misunderstand and let him seize the Crescent Princess. , in order to let Lin Xiaoqi escape.
But Jiang Fan found that he was still worrying too much. The Meng family was still the Meng family. Mengtian, known as the number one junior in the army, was definitely a born soldier and a born famous general. He met Jiang Fan calmly and calmly, and accepted the job without hesitation.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but explain to him that it was just a ploy, and the grassland would not bring Xinyue into marriage.
But Montaigne said solemnly: "The last general has a family motto, put the country first, then the family, state affairs come first, Montaigne knows the overall situation, please rest assured, Your Majesty and Prince."
Jiang Fan looked at this calm young general and felt very emotional. Fortunately, he was cautious and sent Lin Nanyan to deliver the message, hoping to dispel his suspicions as much as possible. And obviously, he has a villainous heart.
Montaigne, a twenty-nine-year-old brave general.
In this age of famous generals, no one can conceal Montaigne's style. I just don't know how much overlap he has with the "China's First Warrior" I saw in the history books...
And this time, the warrior Montaigne will meet the so-called first warrior of the grassland in advance.
Jiang Fan had no doubts about Montaigne's military talent. After all, the person who could allow the empress to bestow the "Six Tao" and "The Art of War" could not be a simple person. There are only four people in Da Qin who have this kind of honor.
But Jiang Fan never knew much about his martial arts cultivation. I just feel that since my apprentice Meng Yi is so talented, as Meng Yi's most admired brother, Meng Tian should also be very talented.
