"You are right. If this is true, then there will most likely be a mutiny due to food shortages.
However, I have little contact with the people of the Han Dynasty. Even if I want to live in the customs, I have no way. Besides, we Mongluo people have bullied so many Central Plains people before.
Will they treat us equally..."
Hater told Dorenpasang about his concerns.
After hearing this, Doren Pasang whispered: "You are worrying too much. Now the emperor of the Han Dynasty welcomes people from home and abroad. As long as they yearn for the civilization of the Central Plains, no matter whether they are from the Central Plains or not, they can live in the Han region.
What's more, there were many foreign officials at home and abroad in the official offices of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Those Hulan people who were affiliated with the Far East in the past followed His Majesty the emperor in the north and south, and now they are all alive and well.
I was lucky enough to go to Guan Nei once with a businessman. Good guy, I swear that if I have a chance, I will live there forever. It is much better than our grassland.
Hater, as long as we lead our troops to surrender and learn the language of the Han Dynasty, we will definitely be able to get rid of the current situation, and our descendants can live there happily!
To tell you the truth, before I set off with the army, I bribed the clan leader with ten kilograms of sugar and a bag of salt. He promised to send my woman and children to the customs through connections.
I guess they should be waiting to reunite with me in the pass now. Make up your mind, Hater. Before the situation is too chaotic, you and I can lead our troops to surrender together. If it is too late, we will regret it for the rest of our lives. "
Dorenpasana's tempting words made Hater's heart flutter, but she still couldn't make up her mind and was hesitant.
Hater added: "Let me tell you one more thing. There are already many warriors in the camp who are tired of this never-ending war and want to live in the pass.
If you don’t want to go, there are many people who want to go. Do you know how much money we are willing to spend on a customs clearance notice on our grasslands now? That number is unimaginable! "
"Okay!" The last worry in Hater's heart disappeared, and he slapped his thigh and said to Doren Basang, "Although I don't have much money, but if you can allow me and my family to enter the customs smoothly, I am willing to give up my three Central Plains slaves in my family All for you!”
Upon hearing that Haterken had given the slaves from the Central Plains to him, those Dorenpasangs were so happy that they smiled from ear to ear: "That's very good, hahaha!"
Doren Basang did not tell Hater that all Central Plains slaves could be sent directly to the corresponding official offices in the customs. Regardless of men and women, the Han Dynasty officials would pay a large ransom, which would also allow Doren Basang to make a small profit.
While Dorenpasang and Hater were planning how to act as "traitors", the top military officials also held different attitudes toward the war.
The banner leader of Zhengbai Banner, Yuchi Lanchuan, felt that Xuanwu Pass was simply incapable of breaking through, and had begun to shrink its troops, preparing to find an opportunity to return to their own jurisdiction.
Yuchi Brownlan also opposed Tuoba Hongye's all-out war against the Han Dynasty at the royal court meeting. The reason he proposed was very practical: the Western Region had been occupied by the Han army, and the supplies accumulated in the grasslands could not carry out a long-lasting and large-scale battle.
It is a pity that Tuoba Hongye did not adopt Yuchi Brownlan's words at all, but was determined to use force against the Han Dynasty.
For this reason, Yuchi Brown Lan kept sighing secretly, but was helpless.
After three months of fighting, the daily consumption of massive supplies and the huge casualties in the army, Yuchi Brownlan became more convinced that his original decision was right.
As a result, he had close contact with the senior officials of Xiu Bai Ban and Xiu Lan Ban, looking for an opportunity to leave the army and return to his territory to end this meaningless battle.
In comparison, the current flag leader Murong Lian and deputy flag leader Murong Chui of Zhenglan Banner unswervingly support Tuoba Hongye in continuing his war with the Han Dynasty.
Of course, their purpose is not simple...
The Murong clan can be said to be capricious and often do not listen to the orders of the royal court. The reason why they supported Tuoba Hongye this time was because Murong Lian and Murong Chui had their own plans.
Murong Chui didn't have many ideas. He just wanted the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains to be ruled by the Mongluo people. At the same time, as a famous grassland general, he could compete with Huo Qing, who was known as the "God of War", and he got what he wanted.
But Murong Lian was different. Because he was Tuoba Hongye's son-in-law and had many contacts with the inner circle of the royal court, he naturally knew why Tuoba Hongye insisted on going south despite everyone's opposition.
That is, Tuoba Hongye wants to conquer the Central Plains in one fell swoop during his lifetime, while he can still mount his war horse, become the greatest monarch of the Mengluo Empire, and make the Tuoba family the only eternal royal family in the grassland.
Therefore, this war must be fought. Murong Lian knew that there were many insurmountable risks, but he still chose to support it.
The purpose of Murong Lian's doing this was naturally so that the Murong clan could rise in the grassland and become a new overlord.
Therefore, the more brutal this war is, the more beneficial it will be to the Murong clan. The more Hachiman men and horses die, the more benefits they can gain.
Of course, if Tuoba Hongye really conquered the Central Plains, it would be a different outcome. However, is the Central Plains so easy to conquer?
The former Zhou Dynasty might be able to do it. Faced with a group of cowardly troops who were underpaid, poorly equipped, and greedy for life and fear of death, it would not be a problem for Mengluo's army to break through and enter!
Coupled with the corruption inside and outside the court and the atmosphere of intrigue, God helps the people of Munro.
At that time, the Central Plains was really like picking out things from a bag, as the minister of the royal court said.
But now, Liu Ce has just appeared. In just ten years, he has grown from a small soldier to the Han Dynasty monarch of half of the Central Plains. What is even more strange is that the process of changing dynasties is actually very peaceful, so peaceful that it is incredible!
The emergence of Liu Ce reversed the Mengluo people's military superiority over the Central Plains in a few years. The series of strategies he formulated were like a sharp knife, piercing the Mengluo people hard, and they could take out a big mouthful of meat at any time. Come.
It has only been three years since he took the throne. The entire northern part of the Central Plains seemed to have changed. The numb people were filled with hope overnight. The court was docile and docile by him overnight, and the army was trained by him. Like wolves and tigers, they seek battle everywhere.
Against the current Central Plains dynasty, do the Munro people want to win? It can be said that there is no possibility at all.
However, this is also an opportunity. The more unfavorable Tuoba Hongye's war is, the higher the Murong clan's prestige will be on the grassland. All Murong Lian has to do now is wait.
When Tuoba Hongye fails, he will reveal his sharp claws and take his place.
While the Murong clan, Yuchi Brownlan and others were harboring their own secrets, Tuoba Hongye, who was over sixty years old, was sitting dejectedly in his golden tent, listening to his servants report the loss of men and horses.
"Reporting to the Holy Emperor, in this attack on Xuanwu Pass, our Munro Empire lost 600 warriors and over 700 wounded. More than 70% of them are probably difficult to treat. Even if we are lucky enough to survive, we may not be able to continue the campaign. On the battlefield."
