After speaking, Queen Lu took out the sealed letter.
Although the Zhongshan King came here with a letter, not a battle report.
However, it is more or less a secret in the court.
So she didn't check it privately. This was the queen's consciousness.
Emperor Jing Xing took the letter, tore off the sealing wax, and began to read.
After a while, he took a deep breath and looked a little sad.
When Empress Lu saw this, she walked behind him and gently pressed her temples with her green and jade fingers.
"What's wrong?" he asked softly while pressing.
"But what went wrong in Northern Xinjiang?"
Northern Xinjiang is adjacent to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and there are countless powerful tribes in it. Almost every year before winter, they will go south to plunder, which really makes the neighboring countries miserable.
Moreover, there are only three countries adjacent to Bei Yuan, namely Western Qin, Da Chu, and Da Qian.
Needless to say, the military combat capabilities of the other two, so most of the time the Beiyuan people robbed Dagan.
Until more than ten years ago, the King of Zhongshan was born, showing great military talent, and was appointed as a general by Emperor Jingxing to guard the northern border.
The situation is much better now.
But counting the days, it’s time for the Beiyuan people to go south.
When I wrote this letter, could it be that... something really went wrong?
Emperor Jing Xing shook his head and denied Empress Lu's guess: "Contrary to what you guessed, the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not go south this year."
"What?" Queen Lu's voice was much higher, obviously in disbelief: "How is it possible?"
"Because Beiyuan has a hero - Tuoba Khan!"
"Tuoba Khan? This man dares to take such a name. He is really brave!"
Khan in Beiyuan language symbolizes the sun and the king!
Choosing this name is quite bold.
"Why does Your Majesty call him a distinguished person?"
"The northern grasslands are as big as ten times the size of Daqian."
"There are many tribes on the grassland, collectively called Beiyuan."
"Among them, the three major tribes are the most important!"
"Tuoba, Duoyan, Yelu!"
"Most of the rest are small and medium-sized tribes, relying on the three major tribes to survive."
"More than ten years ago, the one who attacked me was Tuoba Feng, Zuoxian King of the Tuoba Tribe."
"And this Tuoba Khan is the son of Tuoba Feng."
When Empress Lu heard this, her pupils shrank instantly and she said in surprise: "There is still such a relationship. So, this Tuoba Khan is actually related to me, and we have some connections."
"I'm afraid it's a bad fate." Emperor Jing Xing shook his head and sighed: "Back then, Tuoba Peak had great military attainments and was called Tuoba Army God."
"Under his leadership, the people of the Tuoba tribe became even more brave and good at fighting. However, within a few months, I lost many of my troops and generals, and even lost several cities in the northern territory."
"Fortunately, Xiao Gong came out of nowhere and brought eight hundred warriors with him. Surprise soldiers came out from behind and slashed Tuoba Peak with his hands."
"This stopped the decline and caused the Tuoba tribe to cease its activities."
"So it seems that there is a blood feud between Tuoba Khan and me, Da Gan?" Queen Lu asked.
Emperor Jing Xing nodded helplessly: "If that's all, it's not worth my worries."
"The key point is that although Tuoba Feng died, his position as Zuoxian King has remained."
"Tuoba Khan defeated many of Tuoba Peak's heirs and succeeded in succeeding as King Zuoxian."
"Later, after the death of the Khan of the Tuoba tribe, he won the power struggle as King Zuoxian and succeeded to the throne of the Khan of the Tuoba tribe."
"From the son of King Zuoxian to the throne of Khan, this son is truly an outstanding person." Empress Lu couldn't help but sigh.
As one of the three major tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Tuoba tribe must have complex and intricate factions.
It is truly remarkable that Tuoba Khan could succeed to the throne at such a young age with so many forces eyeing him.
"That's not all!" Emperor Jing Xing's face became increasingly bitter, and he said, "Although Tuoba Khan is young, his ambition is great."
"After taking over the throne of Tuoba tribe, I trained my troops day and night."
"One year later, he led a capable division and launched an attack on the Duoyan tribe."
"The Duoyan tribe and the Tuoba tribe are both the three major tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Tuoba Khan is still young, so it may be difficult for him to make achievements, right?" Queen Lu asked.
Emperor Jing Xing shook his head and said, "Not only that, Tuoba Khan completely swept through the Duoyan tribe in just three months!"
"Then I rested for half a year and commanded the Yelu tribe again. This time, in less than three months, it took only two and a half months to destroy the Yelu tribe!"
"As the two major tribes Duoyan and Yelu were destroyed one after another, the remaining small and medium-sized tribes in Beiyuan all surrendered."
"It took two years for Tuoba Khan to unify the northern grasslands."
"So he was respectfully called Tuoba Tianhan by the other tribes, and the Lord of Beiyuan!"
After Emperor Jing Xing finished speaking, Empress Lu's mouth opened slightly and it was difficult to close it for a long time.
"This...there are such people in the world, it's really scary!"
Among the three major tribes in Beiyuan, the one closest to Daqian is Tuoba.
But since Yelu and Duoyan are as famous as Tuoba, their military strength must not be underestimated.
If nothing else, you can see it from their opponents.
Yelu borders Western Qin, and there are many frictions.
Duoyan, on the other hand, was fighting against the great Chu of the Son of Heaven!
Over the years, although there have been many frictions between the two sides, they have mostly been in a state where no one can beat the other and each has a winner or a loser.
These two countries, to put it mildly, are far behind the world!
But in the hands of Tuoba Khan, it could only last three months!
This person...is really a monster!
"It would be okay if Tuoba Khan only had great military attainments."
"But Gongdi said in his letter that he had sent spies to sneak into the Tuoba tribe and found that Tuoba Khan had collected the seeds of their Han crops from nowhere and was planting them in batches."
When Empress Lu heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore and was shocked and said: "How could this be?"
The fundamental difference between the Han people and the Beiyuan people is that the latter are nomadic people and cannot grow food! They make a living purely by raising cattle and sheep.
Most of the land in the north cannot grow food.
But no matter how hard it is to plant, you can still find dozens of acres of land that can be planted.
If Tuoba Khan could really grow a lot of food, he would really dig up the roots of the Han people.
"He even formed the Beiyuan Navy to train along the coast."
"How...how could there be such a terrible person in the world?" After being shocked one after another, Empress Lu was already a little surprised.
A group of people living on the grassland actually wanted to build ships and establish a navy.
Such an idea is not unprecedented, but at least for the people of Beiyuan, it is unprecedented.
"The most terrifying thing is that this person has a grudge against me!"
"It is impossible not to avenge the murder of my father!"
Emperor Jing Xing lamented and said: "Brother Gong expected that he might take action after next spring, so he wrote a secret letter to ask the court to mobilize troops and send more reinforcements to northern Xinjiang."
When Queen Lu heard this, she couldn't help but nodded.
In the past, King Liu Gong of Zhongshan only guarded against the Tuoba tribe, and he was able to get by with that little force.
But now, he has to face the entire Beiyuan!
If there are not enough troops, it is very likely that not only the people, but also the city and the land will be lost!
And the King of Zhongshan was already the most capable general in the entire court. If he were gone, facing Tuoba Khan, who had unified the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty in two years, what would be the difference between fighting and destroying the country?
Therefore, these reinforcements must be sent! And it can’t be less, just send as much as you can!
