Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

Chapter 49: You can destroy the Ying family, but you have to pay extra

Tu Hanxie was silent for a moment, then angrily said: "Damn the Tiger Guards, they were the ones who severely damaged us back then, and now they are targeting us in Xiliang."

He looked at Tuoba Wu and said loudly, "What is going on? Isn't the Tiger Guard Ying Tianqian's army? Why is he in that shabby place of Xiliang?"

Tuoba Wu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know either, but I saw that flag several years ago. It must be the Tiger Guards!"

"It's just that the one leading the Tiger Guards is not Ying Tianqian, but a young man."

"Young man? Could you be Ying Tianqian's son?" a general suddenly said.

The others immediately looked over, and the general continued, "This man's name is Ying Xuanze, and he is also a great general of the Daying Dynasty."

"A few days ago, a man from the Central Plains came here to exchange food for furs. I heard something from him. He said that the whole family of the general who guarded the country went to Xiliang, his son was named Marquis of Zhenxi, and the court appointed someone else as the general."

"I didn't believe it at the time. How could such a great general go to a place like Xiliang?"

"Now it seems to be true. With Ying Tianqian and the Tiger Guards here, Your Majesty can give up Xiliang..."

Tu Hanxie snorted coldly while tapping the armrest of the chair: "What bad luck! Is this old man Ying Tianqian really the nemesis of our Beihu clan?"

Just then, a voice came from outside the tent.

"Report to the king, a man from the Central Plains wants to see you, saying he is a man of the current general."

The other generals were all furious when they heard this. One general even shouted angrily, "People from the Central Plains? And they are the general's men? What does the Great Ying Dynasty mean? Are they here to start a war?"

"Haven't we been taught a lesson badly enough by Ying Tianqian in the past few years? Even a rabbit bites when it's cornered! What good will it do for the Great Ying Dynasty if they force us into a corner?"

Tu Hanxie raised his hand, and the tent finally quieted down.

"Don't worry. If the Great Ying Dynasty wanted to go to war with us, they would have led their troops to attack us long ago, and they wouldn't have sent an envoy over."

"Let him in. He must be here for something else." He said to the Hu soldier outside the tent.

"It's the king!"

After a while, a man dressed in Central Plains clothing walked into the tent under the guidance of the Hu soldiers, and then respectfully performed the Hu etiquette and said:

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I am from the Daying Dynasty and a subordinate of the current general Huang Chan. My name is Cao Mengyi." He spoke fluent Hu language.

"Oh? You can speak the Hu language?" Tu Hanxie looked at Cao Mengyi with an intriguing expression.

"Yes, I grew up in the border area between Daying Dynasty and Northern Hu when I was a child, so I can speak some Hu language."

"It's really interesting that people living on the border can actually survive and grow up. It seems that you..." Tu Hanxie narrowed his eyes and continued in a deep voice:

"It has half of our Hu people's blood."

Cao Mengyi just smiled, he did not deny it.

"Tell me, why did General Huang Chan send you here?"

"If it's a good thing, then just speak up. If it's a bad thing, then please go back."

Tu Hanxie picked up a leg of lamb from the basin beside him and started chewing it without caring about his image.

"The general sent me here because he wants to cooperate with you, the king, and I will definitely satisfy you in terms of compensation."

Tu Hanxie suddenly put down the leg of lamb in his hand and stared at Cao Mengyi in surprise. The other generals were also surprised.

When will the people in the Central Plains come to ask the Northern Hu people for help?

"How could there be such a good thing?" Tu Hanxie waved his hand, and a Hu servant brought a roasted lamb leg and a strong liquor unique to the grassland and was about to offer them to Cao Mengyi.

Cao Mengyi declined the offer, and then said: "The general hopes that you can lead the army to Xiliang, as long as you can destroy the Ying family..."

"The general promises that he will not send a single soldier to you Hu people for ten years, and will provide you with food, clothing and other supplies before the arrival of winter every year."

Cao Mengyi smiled faintly: "Of course, if the king has other conditions, you can put them forward. As long as they are not too excessive, the general will nod his head."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Hu generals in the tent took a deep breath. This promise was simply a huge temptation for them.

The area where the Hu people live is far inferior to the Daying Dynasty in the south in terms of environment and climate. If the harvest is poor this year, they must go south to plunder before winter comes.

However, the looting was bound to meet with fierce resistance from the Daying Dynasty's army, and population was precisely one of the major disadvantages of the Hu people.

But in order to survive, they have no choice.

Ten years of development was enough for the Hu people to grow stronger, and many children in their tribe needed food.

Several generals looked at Tu Hanxie expectantly, hoping that the king would agree to the conditions of this Central Plains man.

However, Tu Hanxie narrowed his eyes slightly, leaning back on the chair and thinking. After a moment, he asked Cao Mengyi:

"Ying Tianqian was once the great general of your court, a famous general with great prestige. If I kill him, won't your emperor vent his anger on me?"

Cao Mengyi shook his head: "The times have abandoned Ying Tianqian. Now the entire Daying army is led by General Huang Chan. Your Majesty, just go and do it."

Tu Hanxie smiled secretly in his heart, although he didn't know what had happened in Daying Dynasty in the past two years.

But if wiping out Ying Tianqian's entire family could buy the Hu people ten years of growth period, there's nothing wrong with that.

The internal strife in the Daying Dynasty brought benefits to the Northern Hu.

but......

Tu Hanxie laughed loudly: "This newly promoted General Huang Chan is really generous, much better than the previous Ying Tianqian."

"I can destroy the Ying family, but they are the Tiger Guards. Ying Tianqian has made my subordinates suffer a lot before."

"You just said that I can put forward other conditions, so..."

Tu Hanxie raised the corner of his mouth. It was not easy to get a chance to kill the Daying Dynasty. He would make a lot of money no matter what!

Tuoba Wu said that the Huben Army had more than 10,000 soldiers, several thousand of whom were cavalry.

But even so, he had 80,000 Hu warriors under his command, and each of them was skilled in riding, shooting and charging.

The Ying family has only more than 10,000 people, and destroying them is as easy as stepping on an ant.

"I want to add some conditions. First, I want this Marquis of Zhenxi to go north and fight with my men at Jiarong Pass!"

"Second, after destroying the Tiger Guards, I will lead my men to plunder half of Xiliang! Don't worry, I won't do anything too heavy-handed. I will just steal some women and food."

Tu Hanxie looked at Cao Mengyi with a smile and asked, "As long as the general agrees to these two conditions, I can send troops today!"
