Yue Dan was famous for his savagery on this grassland!
Speaking of it, it really made one's teeth itch.
Mo Ruo was furious!
He continued, "Actually, if I wasn't worried about hurting you guys, I would have just lit the arrow on fire and shot it in. I would have turned the Yue Dan's camp upside down, and it would be best to burn their provisions."
He really regretted not doing so!
"By the way, what did you tie to those arrows?"
"It's just some powder made from some medicinal herbs. Add some wine to it, and it will emit white mist after a while."
The godly doctor really knows a lot!
Jing Rong frowned slightly and asked, "Did many things happen in the grasslands recently?"
"When has the grasslands ever been peaceful?" Mo Ruo asked.
"How are Yue Dan and Hou Liao doing?"
Mo Ruo said, "Hu Hehao brought his men and set up camp here a month ago. He has been in a stalemate with us, Hou Liao. Those western barbarians are very troublesome to deal with." "In recent years, Yue Dan's speed of uprooting has increased greatly, extending all the way from the west. When the late Emperor was still alive, there were border officers and soldiers who mentioned Yue Dan, but they all had different systems. If Great Lin wants to unify the Central Plains, the first thing they need to do is to stabilize the people at the border.
Even if we manage to destroy Yue Dan in the end, the common people at the border will still be caught in the crossfire. It's impossible to gain one and lose the other, so the late emperor didn't try to control the situation. I didn't expect that after a few years, Yue Dan would develop to its current state. Not only does it want to swallow up your Houliao, it even wants to invade the Central Plains. "
Ridiculous!
Ji Yunshu added, "Once a person has an ambition, they will never be satisfied."
The greater the power, the greater the ambition!
Mo Ruo asked, "Then what do you think of today's incident?"
Jing Rong's expression was cold. He picked up a wooden stick from the ground out of habit and poked it into the fire. Sparks flew everywhere, and his eyes reflected the raging flames.
He opened his mouth and said, "Huhehao's head … is mine."
"Bang!" Chai Chai let out an explosive sound.
Mo Ruo was shocked.
Ji Yunshu was not alarmed.
Jing Rong said these words in front of Ma Yinghao.
That head, he was determined to take it.
But —
Mo Ruo frowned and reminded him, "Don't forget, you're a prince of the Great Lin and a member of the Great Lin Imperial Family. It wouldn't be appropriate to involve Yue Dan and Hou Liao in this matter."
Jing Rong looked at Ji Yunshu beside him, his large hand holding her slender hand.
"This matter has nothing to do with the Great Lin, it's between me and him. He touched my people, how can I let this slide?"
Their gazes collided.
Ji Yunshu's ice-cold hand was tightly held by him. Warmth spread from the back of her hand to the center of her palm, then slowly spread throughout her body, warming her heart that was still trembling.
Mo Ruo understood.
As long as they touched Ji Yunshu, no matter who it was, Jing Rong would not let them off.
Mo Ruo looked at the two of them looking at each other with deep emotions in their eyes and coughed.
I won't eat dog food!
He sighed again, "The battle between Yue Dan and Hou Liao is unavoidable! However, Yue Dan still hasn't mobilized his troops, and Hou Liao also has too many misgivings. He's worried that there will be countless casualties when the battle starts, so the two sides have been in a deadlock. "
Hearing this, Ji Yunshu said, "Yue Dan is so ambitious. He brought so many troops with him, how could he just bide his time? The reason why he's in a deadlock with you is because he's waiting for reinforcements! "
"Reinforcements?" "Even if Yue Dan's power is growing rapidly, Hou Liao has been the overlord of the grasslands for over a hundred years. They won't dare to act blindly without absolute confidence. So, I think they must have secretly contacted the other tribes in the grasslands. Both sides have reached an agreement to join forces to attack Hou Liao.
We can take him down in one fell swoop! "
Although it was just a guess, who could Yue Dan be waiting for reinforcements?
It could only be the other tribes in the grasslands!
Mo Ruo was flabbergasted, "No wonder!" "Miss Ji, you're really too smart. You actually thought of something that we couldn't think of."
"I was captured by them for two days, so I can be considered as infiltrating the enemy's inner circle as a spy. It's not strange for me to think of this. Moreover, when I told Ma Yinghao about this, he was really nervous. This proves that my guess is correct. The reason why they haven't mobilized their troops is because they're waiting for reinforcements."
'Being a spy is really interesting!'
Jing Rong asked, "Since you can guess this, then … you must have already thought of a good plan to deal with them, right?" Ji Yunshu wasn't sure. "The tribes in the grasslands formed an alliance because of three things. The first is food, the second is money, and the third is territory. The Western Fortress Grasslands is vast and fertile. There's no shortage of cattle and sheep, so it's not about food. On the other hand, there's no shortage of food, so it's not about money. These past few years, Ma Yinghao has continuously annexed the grasslands, causing many small tribes to migrate all over the grasslands. They can't settle down, so … it's about territory! Ma Yinghao must have promised them that if they annexed Hou Liao in the future and fought for the Central Plains, he would give them a vast piece of land. This should be the agreement between them.
”
Ji Yunshu suddenly understood.
Mo Ruo asked, "So?" "Although Huhe Hao had a deal with them, their reinforcements haven't arrived yet. Since they haven't arrived yet, there are still variables. If Hou Liao can make a deal with them because of territory, why can't Hou Liao? As long as they offer better conditions, those tribes might return with their troops.
”
"With Yue Dan's current strength, no tribe would dare to offend him. If they retreated, Ma Yinghao would definitely send troops to attack them and annex them at any time. Rather than saying that Yue Dan had reached an agreement with them regarding territory, it would be more accurate to say that they were forced to do so. They didn't want to be defeated.
To prevent Hou Liao from annexing them, they had no choice but to borrow troops. "
Ji Yunshu nodded. "That's possible."
She was deeply worried!
Jing Rong said solemnly to Mo Ruo, "If you want those tribes to return with their troops, then … Hou Liao can promise them that after they return, Hou Liao will send troops to destroy Yue Dan at all costs! To prevent future troubles! Otherwise, they won't take this risk. "
So after all was said and done …
"This battle must be fought!" Mo Ruo said.
"That's right. If those tribes don't turn back, Yue Dan will have reinforcements and will definitely fight with you. If they turn back, Hou Liao will have to agree to kill Yue Dan. So this battle is unavoidable."
So, this battle cannot be avoided.
This was how the royal family of the Central Plains fought!
It was the same for the grasslands!
Where there were people, there was ambition.
Where there was power, there was life and death.
This was a principle that had never changed in a hundred years.
Mo Ruo's eyes darkened. She stared at the flame in front of her, which was growing stronger and stronger because of Jing Rong's provocation. It was as if she could see the scene of Hou Liao and Yue Dan clashing.
