The green grass was stained with a layer of blood, and a faint smell of blood filled the air. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The smell of blood seemed to awaken the savagery and rage in the bones of the barbarians, and they forgot about the dead soldiers in front of them for a while, and only fantasies about the slaughter of the people of the Great Yu Kingdom were in their minds.

"Banner leader, have we endured it all this time?" A captain asked.

Gurtai said: "Of course we have to endure, now Shanhaiguan is in the hands of the army of the Great Yu State, only when the Great Yu Kingdom is in chaos, we can take advantage of the time when the King of Liang borrows troops to destroy the Great Yu Kingdom once and for all, and then our dead soldiers will take a thousand times the lives of the Great Yu Kingdom to compensate, and on that day, I must eat the King of Qi alive." ”

Speaking of this, Gultai's eyes were full of tyranny.

Glancing hatefully in the direction of Shanhaiguan, Gultaile's horse headed in the direction of the tribe, he thought that the cavalry of Shanhaiguan was going to attack their tribe again.

But as things stand, it seems that the army is only here to kill the scouts.

Since Bei Shan's defeat in the Battle of Jizhou, the Huyantuo tribe has been reused again, and the Datai Jiwu Technique Bone has been more and more reused, and the position of Tian Khan must be his.

Because of this, he not only cleared the charge of the Battle of Cangzhou, but also sent 50,000 elite cavalry under his command, in order to let him guard the grassland outside the Shanhai Pass, and prevent the army of the King of Qi from penetrating into the grassland and posing a threat to the Golden Horde.

The other barbarian generals looked in the direction of Gultai's departure, sighed deeply, and asked the other soldiers to bring back the scout's body, and the barbarian cavalry gradually moved away like a torrent.

Outside the ambush site, the Youzhou scouts were holding binoculars and observing the movements of the barbarians.

In the past, after fighting with the barbarians, the barbarian cavalry would always shout and curse before the Shanhaiguan, but today these barbarian cavalry are a little abnormal.

Seeing this, the scouts turned and headed for Shanhaiguan, where they wanted to tell Lei Ming the news.

Shanhaiguan, Governor's Mansion.

Thunder was writing a battle report, and after a while, a scout came to report and told Thunder about the barbarian's unusual actions.

"It's strange, when did the barbarians change their character." Lei Ming frowned, and then he also wrote this news into the battle report, and sent it to Qingzhou quickly.

Three days later, the battle report from Youzhou successfully arrived in Qingzhou, and Niu Ben, who got the news, sent the war report to the Qi Wangfu as soon as possible.

At the same time, he and Pang Yukun went to the palace again to discuss the matter.

"Your Highness, this time Lei Ming killed three hundred barbarian scouts outside the pass, but what is different is that this time the barbarians did not provoke in front of the pass as in the past." Niu Ben said.

Xiao Ming has been busy with Qingzhou's government affairs in the past few days, and after discussing this plan, the three of them thought that the barbarians would inevitably go to Guanwai to shout out of revenge and lure Guanning Iron Cavalry to fight, but they obviously mispredicted this.

"It's really strange, could it be that the barbarians have learned to be shrunken turtles." Xiao Ming said suspiciously, although the barbarians were driven out of the pass by him, but the barbarians were more arrogant outside the pass than in the pass, and often sent people to detain the pass and insult the soldiers at the head of the city.

And every time Thunder goes out of the customs to fight the autumn wind, the barbarians will only become more and more annoyed, and even sometimes they will put on a posture of attacking Shanhaiguan, but they are having fun with Thunder.

"The barbarians are brutal and tyrannical by nature, but they are also very cunning, maybe they are just trying to set a trap for the Guanning Iron Cavalry to continue to go deeper to destroy the Guanning Iron Cavalry." Pang Yukun said.

Niu Ben said: "With the end of the general's understanding of the barbarians, they must be planning some conspiracy, the reason why the barbarians have been so arrogant and reckless these years is that they think they can easily annex the Dayu Kingdom, and now they have repeatedly suffered losses in our hands, and the barbarians are estimated to use conspiracy and trickery as before, and Shanhaiguan was broken by the barbarians from the inside." ”

Xiao Ming nodded when he heard this, "In this case, we must strengthen our precautions more and more, now that my father is seriously ill, the court situation may fall into chaos at any time, what this king is most afraid of is that the barbarians will take the opportunity to enter." ”

Niu Ben continued: "Your Highness, since this is the case, we are going to speed up the advancement of the fortress strategy, and now we will focus on equipping the Youzhou Army and letting the Youzhou Army form a combat force." ”

Pang Yukun echoed and said: "That's right, Your Highness, Your Highness suggested that Your Highness postpone the development of overseas, now that the sea route is in our hands, we only need Yue Yun to maintain the route, not to fight on two fronts at this time, otherwise I am afraid that we will not be able to cope at all, although the ancient saying Yun Country is big, the belligerent will die, this war is over, the people's livelihood is withering, and His Royal Highness's hard work in the past three years is probably going to be in vain, so His Royal Highness must not be rash, now when the distant friendship and close attack, when the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal, this Dutch matter His Royal Highness handled very well, If the war can be alleviated, it must be alleviated, and the war should be alleviated, so as to provide time for the development of Qingzhou. ”

Xiao Ming thought so, now that he was the lord of the country, he naturally understood this more and more, he didn't dare to say that I could fight a hundred of them, this was his own death.

Even in modern times, the United States relies on many allies, rather than fighting alone.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming said: "Pang Changshi's statement is the same as Zhan Xingchang's, this king has his own sense of proportion, from now on, this king should act in a vertical and horizontal manner, now we should act according to the plan, send this war report to the imperial court, the father can have one more day, and we have one more day to prepare." ”

The two of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

In front of Niu Ben and Pang Yukun, Xiao Ming personally wrote a memo, in which Xiao Ming deliberately exaggerated the battle between the barbarians outside Shanhaiguan and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and at the same time asked Empress Zhao and the crown prince to take care of Xiao Wenxuan carefully.

After preparing this recital, Xiao Ming handed it to Pang Yukun, and he asked someone to send it to Chang'an.

Then the three of them discussed the current situation for a while, and then went back to their respective homes.

Sending Pang Yukun and Niu Ben away, Xiao Ming looked to the northwest, which was the territory of King Yong, and now he was most worried about coal and iron, both of which were very sufficient in King Yong's fiefdom.

If Dayu really fell into civil strife, the first thing he did was to ensure the source of these two materials, otherwise it would seriously affect the development of Qingzhou, as for saltpeter, he was not too worried now, according to Claire, although they were at war with the British, the trade still did not stop, and they could get high-quality saltpeter from India.

As for the sulphur, the scarcity of resources in the Japanese kingdom may have to sell it to him in exchange for other resources.

While he was pondering, one of the servants suddenly came to the main hall from the outside and said to him, "Your Highness, the craftsman of the Instrument Division has sent it to Your Highness. ”
