At the same time, in the commander's tent in Northern Xinjiang, Ye Tian was handling government affairs in the study, when Xiao Wuqing suddenly walked in and said.
"Your Highness, there is a matter that requires your decision."
Ye Tian raised his head, "Oh? What's the matter?"
Xiao Qingqing said.
"According to our intelligence, a small country is contacting the grassland tribes and trying to fight against us."
Ye Tian frowned.
"Which small country?"
"There is a small country not far from us called Daye Country." Xiao Qingqing replied.
Ye Tian sneered. "They are so courageous, they actually dare to go against us."
Xiao Qingqing said.
"Your Highness King Yan, I think we should take action to stop their plan."
"Very good, do you have any suggestions?" Ye Tian asked.
"We can send troops to raid their capital and catch them off guard." Xiao Qingqing said.
Ye Tian shook his head.
"No, this is too risky. We might as well send people to Daye Country first to explore their true and false intentions."
Xiao Wuqing nodded.
"His Royal Highness King Yan's strategy is more secure, and I will obey your orders."
After that, he turned and left the study.
Ye Tian looked at Xiao Qingqing's back and thought to himself that this small country, Daye Country, dared to go against him. It was really hopeless.
He must make the country pay the price, and at the same time, the grasslands.
Yeluyuan is lobbying various tribal leaders.
"Dear leaders, the Great Zhou Kingdom is our common enemy. If we don't join forces to fight against them, we will be conquered by them one by one."
The tribal leaders looked hesitant.
"The Great Zhou Kingdom is powerful. Although our grassland tribes are brave, we are probably no match for them if we fight alone."
Yeluyuan secretly scolded these leaders for being timid, but on the surface he still spoke politely.
"Chiefs, I know what you are worried about. We, the Great Ye Kingdom, can provide you with weapons and supplies. As long as you obey our command and act together, you will definitely be able to defeat the Great Zhou Kingdom."
The tribal leaders looked at each other, and finally someone stood up.
"If you can provide enough weapons and supplies, we will obey your command."
Yeluyuan felt happy and said quickly.
"Of course, I will send people to deliver weapons and supplies immediately. Leaders, please rest assured."
After that, he quit the tribal gathering.
He secretly vowed to succeed and create enough trouble for the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Soon after, Yeluyuan's envoys came to the grassland tribes with weapons and supplies. When the tribal leaders saw this, they were overjoyed and immediately organized armies to prepare for war with the Great Zhou Kingdom.
At the same time, in the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the emperor was convening ministers to discuss countermeasures.
"Ministers, the grassland tribes have organized an army and are preparing to go to war with us. What are your countermeasures?"
The ministers looked worried.
"Your Majesty, although the grassland tribes are brave, if they fight against our Zhou Dynasty alone, they are probably no match for us. However, if they unite, we will be in some trouble. We should let General Zhengxi and King Ye Tian return to Beijing as soon as possible to get a idea."
The emperor nodded and immediately sent someone to invite King Yan to return to the capital. At the same time, King Ye Tian of Yan was fighting against the invasion of the grassland tribes in Western Xinjiang.
"Report! Your Highness King Yan, the emperor has urgently summoned you back to the capital. He said that the grassland tribes have organized an army and are preparing to go to war with us."
A look of doubt flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.
"They organized an army so quickly. It seems that the grassland tribes have spent a lot of money this time."
He secretly thought, immediately ordered the entire army to retreat, and personally led his personal guards to the capital.
A few days later, Ye Tian arrived in the capital and immediately entered the palace to see the emperor.
"I see your Majesty."
The emperor waved his hand and motioned for him to get up.
"Ye Tian, this time the grassland tribes have organized an army and are preparing to fight us. What are your countermeasures?"
Ye Tian pondered for a moment and said.
"Your Majesty, although the grassland tribes are united, their strength is limited after all. I suggest sending envoys to persuade them to surrender or form an alliance with us."
The emperor frowned.
"I'm afraid this method won't work. The grassland tribes have always been unruly and unruly. I'm afraid they won't surrender or form an alliance easily."
Ye Tian smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, I have a clever plan. But I need you to issue an order to let me go to the grassland tribe."
The emperor looked at him with some confusion.
"What's your clever plan? If it works, I will order you to go to the grassland tribe."
Ye Tian secretly smiled in his heart, of course he had a way to make the grassland tribe surrender.
"Your Majesty, I need to go to the grassland tribes first before I can put forward specific conditions. Although the grassland tribes are brave, their living conditions are difficult and materials are scarce. We can use this to exchange peace talks with them."
The emperor frowned and thought for a while, then said.
"Okay, I will order you to go to the grassland tribe as the imperial envoy of the Great Zhou Kingdom. However, you must be careful. The people of the grassland tribe are very cunning."
"I accept the decree."
Ye Tian immediately set off for the grassland tribe. A few days later, he arrived at the grassland tribe's camp.
"Who! How dare you break into the grassland tribe camp!"
The guards swarmed up and surrounded Ye Tian and others.
"Ye Tian, the imperial envoy from the Great Zhou Kingdom, is here to negotiate with your tribal leaders."
He said in a deep voice.
The guards were stunned for a moment and immediately went in to report.
Soon after, the tribal leader came out with a group of people.
"Are you Ye Tian, the imperial envoy of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"
The tribe leader looked at him with some confusion. Ye Tian nodded and looked at the other person.
"I am Ye Tian, King of Yan. I heard that your tribe has recently organized an army and is preparing to become an enemy of Zhou Dynasty. What is going on?"
The tribe leader snorted coldly.
"Hmph, the Great Zhou Kingdom has oppressed us for a long time. We don't want to be oppressed by you anymore, so we have to organize an army to fight against you."
Ye Tian smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface he looked at the other party seriously.
"Chief, war is not a solution to the problem. It will only bring endless pain and sacrifice. I am here this time in the hope that we can sit down and talk and find a solution that is beneficial to both parties."
The tribal leader waved his hand impatiently.
"We don't need to negotiate with you, we will use force to make you surrender."
Ye Tian smiled faintly.
"Force? Do you really think you can defeat my army of Great Zhou? Don't be blinded by impulse."
He paused and continued.
"Actually, it's not that we, the Great Zhou, have not considered your needs, it's just that we need time to adjust our policies. If we go to war, it will not be beneficial to both sides. We propose that we, the Great Zhou, will give your tribe a certain amount of materials and resources every year. In exchange for your surrender and loyalty."
