The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 30 Asking Xin Guo for Help

Standing at the top of the city, Xie Dang slapped the city wall angrily, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.

When the horse thieves saw that the Mi County suspension bridge was closed, they no longer hesitated and rushed towards the surrounding farms in Mi County. How could those ordinary farmers be taken away by horse thieves? Each farmer fled in panic and died. Under the knife of a horse thief.

Many horse thieves even got off their horses, and took away the remaining women and children, as well as various valuables in the house, even the cattle and buffaloes that were grazing leisurely on the ground not far away. Putting the reins, the entire horse thief team left towards Qinglongzhai like a bloated trophy caravan.

Xie Dang and others could only watch them go.

Because if you let go of the suspension bridge to chase, the horse thieves can completely abandon the loot and improve their mobility, but the greater possibility is that these horse thieves will not escape at all, but will rush towards Mi County and break through the city gate of Mi County. At that time, the tragedy will be even more tragic.

The atmosphere at the top of the city was extremely oppressive, and Xie Dang was furious: "One day, I will crush these horse thieves to ashes!"

The soldiers next to them had anger and fear in their eyes. Qinglong Village is so rampant, what will they do in the future?
In today's troubled times, wars are everywhere, and bandits and horse thieves like Qinglongzhai also take the opportunity to show up. Without the suppression of the regular army, Qinglongzhai is even more unscrupulous.

The panicked people in the city still had lingering fears. A defensive centurion at the top of the city looked at Xie Dang.

"County Magistrate, these gangsters from Qinglong Village will definitely come again. What should we do?"

Xie Dang frowned tightly. Mi County had been harassed by Qinglong Village, and the nearby farmland could not be cultivated, causing Mi County to be extremely short of food.

He wants to get rid of Qinglongzhai more than anyone else. Kemi County's military strength is too weak.

"Hey."

Xie Dang sighed, and the clerk beside him cupped his fists and said, "County magistrate, why don't we ask Xin Guo for help?"

"New country?"

Xie Dang frowned: "Not long ago, I rejected the new country's trade request. Now let me turn around and ask the new country. I'm afraid they won't lend a helping hand. They will refuse to help and ridicule them. This is possible. It’s the biggest.”

"County magistrate, Mi County is now at a critical juncture. All matters must naturally be focused on Mi County. Moreover, Mi County and Xinguo are of the same origin. Mi County was looted and Qinglong Village was strengthened. , It is not good for Xinguo. County magistrate, I am willing to go to Xinguo as a lobbyist."

Xie Dang frowned: "Okay, you just go for a walk, at worst I will live and die with Mi County."

"Yes!"

……

Morning the next day.

Ren Tian sat on the dragon chair, and he changed to a more comfortable position. After a period of adaptation, he has become more and more fond of the role of emperor.

As usual, the little eunuch on the side yelled at the top of his voice, "If there is something to play, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court." After the officials below, you look at me, I look at you, and then Dazai Yan Yang stood up.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Mi County is in a hurry."

Ren Tianyi raised his eyebrows: "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, the horse bandits in Qinglongzhai attacked Mi County yesterday and looted all the farms of the people near Mi County. Three farms were lost. The loss of cattle, property, and population was huge. At present, people in Mi County are in panic, and the leader of Qinglongzhai has even released them. With bold words, Mi County will definitely be broken."

"So fast?"

Ren Tian frowned slightly, NPC horse thieves like Qinglongzhai are still extremely destructive, if they accidentally grow stronger, they will be the next Black Mountain Army.

"Your Majesty," Dazai Yan Yang said again, "At present, Mi County has sent envoys to ask for aid to our new country. They are waiting at Honglu Temple. Will Your Majesty summon them?"

The nearly thirty courtiers in the court were all aware of the seriousness of the matter. It seemed that Qinglongzhai was going to attack Mi County.

Ren Tian pondered for a moment: "My dear friends, what do you think? But it's okay, let's discuss."

Sikong Du Hong immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, before this, Xinguo intended to make friends with Mi County, but Xie Dang of Mi County disrespected Xinguo and directly rejected the trade request made by Xinguo. Good thing, if you offend the majesty of our new country, you must be punished, and I don't think it is necessary to send troops."

Ren Tian frowned, Du Hong really waved the banner, he had a high moral standard, but in reality it was useless.

Just like in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when they said that the land was vast and rich in resources, other small countries sent some rubbish, in order to maintain the prestige of the heavenly kingdom, they even directly rewarded more than ten times the items, Ren Tian felt stupid.

Can the dignity of such a big country be eaten?
Sorry, he is a pragmatist, everything is based on profit.

Automatically ignoring Du Hong's words, Ren Tian looked at the other courtiers.

Yan Yang also stood up and repeated his previous point of view, that is, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, waiting for Mi County and Qinglong Village to fight fiercely, and then Xinguo reaps the benefits.

Ren Tian looked at Sima Guo Bai again, and Guo Bai clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Mi County and Xin Guo are far away from each other. Geographically speaking, Xin Guo and Mi County are the closest. Xinguo is isolated and helpless, so my suggestion is that no matter what mistakes have been made before, Xinguo must send troops."

Ren Tian was silent for a while, and he looked at Tian Dan again.

This can be regarded as the most dependent person at present.

And Tian Dan also came out: "Your Majesty, I believe that not only rescue is necessary, but also troops must be dispatched as soon as possible."

"Why?"

"Guo Sima is right. Mi County and Xinguo are at loggerheads. If Xinguo wants to reap the benefits, it is impossible. The horse thieves in Qinglong Village move quickly. Once the city is broken, they will either burn, kill, loot, or occupy land. King, no matter which one it is, it is not the best choice for us. Even if Mi County and Qinglong Village fight, Qinglong Village will not suffer much loss, so the new country will not get much benefit from sending troops late.

Another one, Mi County is located in the middle of the entire Linchuan County. If His Majesty wants to restore the territory of the entire Linchuan County, then Mi County cannot be bypassed. This time the siege of Mi County will definitely be remembered by Magistrate Xie , a close relationship with the new country, and one more ally are very good choices for the new country.

Secondly, the reason why Qinglongzhai has not carried out the siege is because they have not made siege props such as ladders. Once the ladders are made, it will only be a matter of time before Mi County falls. The object will naturally be transferred to the new country. "

Ren Tian nodded secretly in his heart. To be honest, he also tended to send troops as soon as possible.

But Situ Zhang Guangzhi glanced at Tian Dan coldly: "Your Majesty, this person used to be from Mi County, so he naturally spoke for Mi County. Our Xin Kingdom's combat power is immature. How many Xin Kingdom soldiers will we have to die against the horse thieves in Qinglongzhai? What's more, Mi County didn't promise any benefits, and I don't recommend doing such thankless things."
