"Since Shi Liu is one of our own, can we withdraw the troops defending the Hongyan horse thieves?" Zi Yan asked.
In order to meet Luo Fengtang, Zi Yan brought people here in advance and set up camp.
The grassland here has not yet been restored, and the surrounding area is extremely barren. The grain and grass carried by this national defense army were brought with the army. They have been stationed here for a long time. The loss of grain and grass is too great, and the gain is not worth the loss. If it can be withdrawn, there will be many benefits.
"Okay, then let's evacuate, mainly to deal with the cavalry that Qinggeltai secretly trained."
Luo Fengtang thought for a while and agreed.
"You don't have to worry about the rest. You should go back and protect Uzhina. In addition, she has her own qualifications. It is best to send capable hidden guards to protect her secretly. I am worried that Qing Geertai will jump over the wall in a hurry."
"Qing Geertai does have big plans. He wants to convene a meeting of elders." Zi Yan said.
Luo Fengtang narrowed his eyes slightly.
He stayed in the mountains for a few days, but he didn't know that Qinggeltai was in a hurry to hold a meeting of elders.
The general Presbyterian meeting is only held once a year, basically at the end of the year. Unless there are special circumstances, King Tieya has the power to temporarily convene the Presbyterian meeting.
And Qing Geertai, the new Iron Tooth King, is now going to convene a meeting of elders, so he is probably making big moves.
"Go back and meet Zhuoer to see what Qinggeltai wants to do."
Luo Fengtang thought for a while.
The Protectorate Army cannot be dispatched easily, because Luo Fengtang's Protectorate Army is an outsider after all. If he suddenly dispatches to deal with a grassland tribe without a proper reason, it will bring great danger to himself, and it will also give Qinggeltai an excuse. .
If he is given this excuse, he can easily integrate the current iron-teeth-golden tent with which he is at odds, and even win more allies, as well as the visible support of Geely Khan.
For the grassland tribes, if they fight on their own, facing the foreign enemy of the Daqi people, they will still know the importance and unite to face it.
…
In the secret room.
Qinggertai leaned on the golden bed and looked at the golden decorations with fascination. He rubbed them in his hands and his eyes were blurred.
Every time he stayed in this golden chamber, he felt a sense of satisfaction deep in his soul. This feeling could not be replaced by anything else.
His pursuit of wealth is essentially different from others. What he pursues is gold itself, not the items that can be purchased with gold.
At this time, a knock on the door from outside woke him up from half-awake and half-sleep.
"Things that don't bother you."
Qinggeltai cursed, stood up, and left the secret room.
Although he really didn't want to be disturbed, at this moment he knew what was important and what was important. Being able to come to this secret room and find something for him must not be a small matter.
Waiting outside are his cronies,
After seeing Qing Geertai, the confidant quickly handed over the letter in his hand with both hands.
"King, this is the letter from Hongyan."
After Qinggeltai unfolded it, he glanced at it, his face instantly darkened, and he kicked the table next to him.
The cups and cups on the table fell to the floor. Fortunately, they were all gold and silverware, so they were not broken.
But the confidant in front of him was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees on the ground, not daring to move.
More than once, close aides saw Qingertai get angry and kill.
There used to be people who were more favored than him, but Qingertai killed them on the spot without mercy.
It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. In the end, he was the cautious person who survived.
"Incompetent, they are all incompetent people. They usually have good food and drink, but if they really want to do something, no one can do it. Thieves are thieves, they are just inferior."
Qinggertai walked around the room, cursing fiercely.
He gave Hongyan Horse Thief a lot of supplies every month in exchange for Hongyan Horse Thief being able to do good things. As a result, he blocked the road to Hongyan Mountain and captured Qiqi, but he couldn't do this, and he still cried about Hongyan in his letter. The mountain people are poor and don't have enough money and food.
Qinggeltai really wanted to spit Shiliu in the face.
If his own money is not enough, how can he give it to others?
What's more, giving money is half a bad thing.
"Go and call the King's men from the Golden Guards." Qinggeltai paced for a while, his anger subsided a lot, and he ordered.
"yes."
The confidant, who was lying motionless on the ground, quickly got up and left. After leaving the house, he reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his rapid heartbeat gradually slowed down.
His life was really hanging by a thread just now. He really didn't overthink this. He had actually seen such an example several times.
Life and death depended on Qinggeltai's one thought, and vaguely, his relatives felt extremely uncomfortable.
He is a small person, but he also has a family. Who wants to be killed for no reason.
Sighing, he didn't think any more and headed straight towards where Jin Yiwei was.
The Jin Yiwei came very quickly. After receiving the notice, they immediately sent someone to see Qing Geertai.
Every time he meets Qing Geertai, Jin Yiwei will not send out little people. They are all important people who can discuss matters directly and have certain authority.
"You send a letter to the Khan and state the Khan's conditions. I agreed, as long as the Khan sends troops as soon as possible according to the agreement." Qinggeltai said solemnly.
The conditions mentioned by Qinggeltai are extremely harsh and are very unfavorable to the Iron Tooth Golden Tent. They will have to sell a lot of the benefits of the Iron Tooth Golden Tent to Geely Khan. In the future, the Iron Tooth Golden Tent may even become a vassal of Geely Khan. .
But today, Qinggeltai, who feels that the internal and external crises are about to hit, can't care so much anymore.
"King Tie Ya, have you thought about it?" Jin Yiwei asked again, his face as cold as a piece of cold iron.
"Let's do it this way. You go back and report back and send someone to sign an agreement with me." Qinggeltai said solemnly.
Although the grassland people don't abide by the contract very much, he cannot deny the contract signed with Jili Khan, even if he refuses to acknowledge it. After all, the grassland people also have their own set of rules, and they often tear up contracts with outsiders, and It is not a contract between each other.
"good."
The man in gold turned around and left.
This matter was an important matter, and he had to send someone to report it to Jili Khan as soon as possible.
Such a good opportunity must not be missed.
When Qinggeltai was the only one left in the room, he shouted bitterly: "You want to deal with me? I will let you get nothing."
He would rather bring the entire Iron Teeth and Golden Tent under the command of Geely Khan and become a vassal of the Khan than give up the Iron Teeth and Golden Tent to others.
Ever since the Naadam Conference, he had noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. After testing it several times, he found that it was difficult to implement his decree, and those who resisted him were the old elders.
"A bunch of old guys, do you want to take refuge with Wu Zhina and Qi Qige? It's a good idea. With me here, no one can succeed." Qing Geertai sneered.
