Some tired closed their eyes and lay on the poplar wood bed, the dragon and phoenix pictures on the silk embroidered curtain showed that its origin came from the distant Tang River in the east, the old man seemed to have fallen asleep, but the two men standing on the side did not slack off at all, they knew that the great chief at this time may be the most awake.

"It's over?" After a while, the old man lying on the bed waved his hand to signal the maid who had been kneeling beside him to beat his legs to leave, and there were only three people left in the tent, and the bright light of the butter candle flickered occasionally, and the atmosphere in the tent seemed a little solemn. Although it has been learned of the tragic defeat of the Eastern Expeditionary Army through the fast horse transmission, it is only a vague news, no one knows what the specific situation is, thousands of miles away, many situations The noble senators can only vaguely guess through some sporadic news, but the city of Barona has long been filled with the atmosphere of defeat and pessimism.

The information of the merchants is even more accurate and detailed than that of the military. The trade routes from the east have been completely cut off, not only the main trade route to Ulanji, which is the main trade route in the north, has been completely cut off, but even the goods that pass through the Western Regions and Inde'an into the Tengger steppe have been completely cut off, the prices of tea and silk have more than doubled, and the prices of ceramics and cloth have also risen by 30%, and the merchants who took advantage of the fire to loot took the opportunity to raise prices, which has caused the dissatisfaction of some small and medium-sized nobles in the city of Barona.

The nobles and senators spent five days restless in this anxious and irritable mood, and the detailed battle reports from the front and the official letters of the army were finally delivered to Misse, who was dealing with the affairs of the day. In view of the seriousness of the situation, although it was clear that the Great Chief, who was not in good health at this time, should not be disturbed, but after several quarrels of the Council of Noble Elders, it was still impossible to come to a satisfactory conclusion, and some changes of the Chidi people exacerbated the possibility of such a crisis, so the Council of Elders had to ask Misse and Doni to immediately tell the Great Chief Wadeya, who had been bedridden for nearly a month.

"Well, that's pretty much the case to the east, and now that Tu Da has led the rest of his troops to withdraw from Ulanji and return to Barona, it is estimated that tomorrow we should be able to cross the Selenga River to Horin. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the sweat on Misei's head had soaked through the cloth belt on his head, the severity of the situation was far beyond the imagination of the beginning, and Mise, who had always been skeptical about the effect of Tu Da's crusade, was even more determined at this time, but the situation in front of him was so dangerous, if Luo Pei fell this time, he would never be able to stand up on the Tengger grassland again.

"The situation in the east, could it be that there are any accidents in other directions?" Turning his head slightly, the originally round and plump fat face has now lost a lot of weight, but the glittering essence in his eyes proves that the old man's physical condition does not seem to be as bad as he imagined, seeing that the heads of Misser and Doni both fell suddenly at this moment, the old man's heart tightened, and even such a big defeat in the east did not make the two of them silent, so what news would make people so taboo?

Taking a deep breath, the old man suppressed the surging mood in his heart, and asked lightly, "Is it that the Chidi people are talking back?"

"Well, the Chidi people have indeed made some changes in the past few days, in the southwest and our territory junction area, our intelligence officers have found that the Chidi people seem to be secretly making military mobilization, because they have informed us in the early stage that they are going to conduct military training exercises in the south, so it did not attract our attention at first, but now in connection with our defeat in the east, and some other circumstances, we have some suspicions#8226;#8226;#8226;#8226;#8226;" Dhoni didn't go on with the rest of the words.

Even if Doni didn't say the following words, these words had already shocked the old man's heart, what he was most worried about still happened, damn the Chidi people, never dared to believe their promises and agreements, everything was bullshit, the fate of the Luope nation once faced a crisis like the last time, but this time there was still so good luck? Wadya is not sure, there are only three good things, this is a proverb of the Tanghe people, but the war between the Luope people and the people of the West Xinjiang seems to have far exceeded three times, since Li Wufeng began to establish himself in Qingyang, it seems that the relationship between the two sides has never really been normal, except for the second war after Doni signed an agreement with the other party It seems that there was a honeymoon period, from the Tengger War caused by the Mott coup to the present, will the people of Western Xinjiang still let the Luo people go?

"Enough, what do you suspect? What we can know, Muruwa knows not as slowly as we do, or even faster and clearer than us! What are you still hesitating about? There is no need to doubt anything, this is the harbinger of war! The Chidi people will not give up any chance to try to destroy our Luope at will, and immediately notify the convoy to mobilize the whole army immediately, and Mise, immediately issue a conscription order, and all the remaining reservists in the west and south will be immediately assembled, enter a state of war, and be ready for war at any time!" Holding back the nausea caused by the tightness in his chest, Wadya propped himself up and leaned on the side of the bed, the sound of heavy breathing like a bellows pulling was particularly harsh in the tent, and the angry roar of the Great Chief was heard, and the concubines who stayed in the back tent hurriedly rushed in to help Wadya sit up, and while stroking his chest for him to calm his violent cough caused by anger, he motioned for Misse and Doni to leave first.

If it was in the past, Misse and Doni would definitely bow and leave at this time and wait for the right time to report back, but the urgent situation forced the two to dare not leave without permission, and if these things were not expressed by the Great Chief, they would definitely cause countless quarrels at the meeting of the senators, and even lead to the division of the entire Luo Pei clan.

Wadya also saw from the expressions of the two that the two of them must have something more worrying about not to show themselves, but at this time, Wadeya's heart became extremely calm, he couldn't imagine anything more worrying than the threat of war from the Chidi people, but it must be quite a tricky trouble to make the two of them so unclear.

"Misse, Doni, you two have anything else to say, pour it out at once, don't hide it there, do you really think that I, Vadeya, are so fragile that I can't withstand even a little setback?"

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, Doni rubbed his hands and exchanged some helpless glances with Misse, and only after a long time did he squeeze out a sentence: "Great Chief, uh, I'm afraid we have some trouble in the north." ”

"North?" Startled, Wadeya, who had already slowly laid down his body, suddenly straightened his body and pushed away the two concubines who were helping him, his eyes widened, and he said sharply: "You mean the Anou people?!"

Seeing that the topic has been clarified, Doni doesn't have so many scruples, this matter has to break out sooner or later, let the other party know as soon as possible, and prepare for it, but whether the other party's current physical condition can withstand this kind of stimulation makes Doni quite jealous, "Yes, Great Chief, the envoy sent by the Anou people two days ago made some demands, uh, some unreasonable demands. ”

"It's time to make a request, choose the right time, what kind of request?" tried to control his emotions, but Wadya felt that his heartbeat was becoming more and more uncontrollable, the temples on both sides of his forehead were pounding suddenly, the sweat slowly soaked down his cheeks, his snort was hissing, and even the words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

"Well, it's about the Mobei Valley gold mine. Doni quietly lowered his head and said in a low voice, he knew that as soon as this sentence came out, he was afraid that it would immediately make the big chief angry, but now the strength of the clan has been weakened to the extreme, and in the face of the changes of the Chidi people, it is already a rumor, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and now they have to face the deliberate provocation of the Anou people, and the Luope clan has reached an urgent juncture related to the survival of the clan.

At this time, a smile appeared on Wadeya's face, but this smile looked bleak, desolate to almost weird, "It's finally here, Kiber chose the right time, and thanks to the fact that he has endured it for so many years, he finally made him wait for this opportunity." What do they say?!"

Mobei River Valley is a section of the Mobei River through the grassland in the northwest of Luope, because this section of the valley terrain is rugged and steep, the Mobei River forms a lot of gullies and valleys in this section of the valley, hundreds of thousands of flow screening make this river valley become a famous Jinsha production area on the Tengger grassland, the annual production of gold in this valley area brings rich profits to the Luope nobles, but from this valley gold mine from the beginning of the Anou people and the Luope people have a dispute over the ownership of this area, it turns out that because this is just a barren land, no one has paid attention, from the geographical demarcation line should belong to the Luope family, but once it becomes the Jinsha production area, the An'an people raised objections, but in the past, when Luo Pei was strong, the objections of the An'ou people were only verbal, and the Luo Pei people never took it to heart, but now at this time, it is a little meaningful.

"They demanded that the area be re-attributed, arguing that the Anou people of the valley should have at least 50 percent of the interest, which means that they were demanding a share of half of the income from the Sands appellation, and that this demand must be met. Doni was also furious, but as the patriarch in charge of internal affairs and intelligence affairs, he had to first consider the possible consequences of the Rope's rejection of this offer.

"What if this request is not met, are they going to fight each other?" Wadya only felt that he could not even breathe at this time, and a feeling of dizziness made him have to lean on the concubine to sit still. The gold mine in the Mobei River Valley is not only the largest financial source of the Luope clan before the Tang River Empire's northern trade route to the Western Continent is opened, but also the main source of income for many nobles to live every year, compared to the income brought by the herdsmen to raise livestock for themselves, the income brought by the Mobei River Valley to the Luobei nobles is not only much richer, but also the most reassuring is quite stable, and the animal husbandry that does not want to rely on the sky for food may even get nothing once it encounters a snowstorm, in some cases, the gold mine in the Mobei River Valley has actually become a natural link to maintain the centripetal force of the Luobei nobles, once the gold mine is lost, not to mention the invasion of foreign enemies, I am afraid that the Luope family will immediately fall into division, the Tyumen tribe that has been inheriting the throne of the Great Chief of the Rope will also disappear from the succession sequence of the throne in the Rope clan immediately.

"Well, our scouts have also discovered that the Annou have been preparing for war since a month ago, and although they are very careful, we have detected anomalies, and I have informed the guards stationed around the valley to be on increased alert. However, information also indicates that the envoys of the Chitis had visited the territory of the Annou some time earlier, but we have no specific information on this. ”

Doni's tone had become a little bitter, and although he preferred to believe that it was a coincidence, from the time when the Chidi agreed to their proposal to sign a peace agreement and supported the Lope to regain the lost territory from the Tang River, to the war preparations of the Ann Europeans in the middle, and the visit of the Chidi envoys to the Annou territory, all this seemed to indicate that this was a great conspiracy, a conspiracy specifically against the Rope, which has now firmly dragged the Ropes into a quagmire, a quagmire from which it is said that the envoys of the Hansen League in Barona had reminded the Great Chief and Misse to be careful of the AnouBut at that time, almost no one believed that the current strength of the An'ou people could do anything, but now it seems that everything has become a reality, the An'ou people have abandoned their original balancing strategy, and seem to want to use the strength of the Chidi people to stand on the corpse of the Luope people and move towards the strong position of the Tengger grassland, for the Luope people, the An'ou people may be more dangerous than the Chidi people, they want to completely destroy the Luope people, annex everything of the Luodi people, and the Chidi people seem to be willing to support a second-rate people who are dependent on them on the eastern Tengger grassland, a little brother who can be obedient on the Tengger grassland, so that they can free up time to digest everything they have obtained。

With a "poof", the choked blood could no longer be controlled, splashing on the ornate silk curtain to paint a brilliant red, Wadya could no longer support his body and lay on the bed, and Dhoni's words were like the last sack of wool that crushed the camel, and finally knocked him down.

"Great Chief, Great Chief!" The frightened two and a group of concubines and concubines were in a mess, and at this time, Wadeya's face suddenly turned scorched, and her gray lips squirmed slightly.

"Tu answered me wrong, Tu answered me wrong!" As the dying voice abruptly stopped, the great chief of Rope, Wadeya, who had dominated the Tengger steppe for decades, died of illness and the Golden Horde on the outskirts of Barona.
