Five hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small sum of money.

Now the Hongxing Army has as many as 400,000 soldiers, and the daily food and drink expenses are an astronomical figure. Duan Tianyang has to consider it seriously.

The words of the Crazy Wolf interrupted his thoughts, "In addition, I can also send a team of tribesmen, disguised as the Hongxing Army, to assist you in sneaking into the heart of the Panda tribe and launching a surprise attack."

Since Kuanglang had said so much, Duan Tianyang had no reason to refuse.

His eyes turned slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Since the chief has spoken, how can I not agree?"

Upon hearing this, Kuanglang showed a look of joy on his face. He raised his head and laughed loudly. He raised his glass to Duan Tianyang and said proudly: "Okay, then Master Duan, it's a deal! Let's drink this glass of wine and have a happy cooperation!"

The two men raised their heads and drank the whole drink. Then, Kuanglang said to Duan Tianyang in a serious tone, "Master Duan, I still hope you can think twice and not lead your army into the Kingdom of Jin. As long as you are safe, I don't need the territory of the Panda tribe!"

Now Duan Tianyang has become the actual ruler of Xiguan and has a large number of troops under his command.

Kuanglang has an unusual relationship with Duan Tianyang, and he doesn't want to see the latter make any mistakes.

If Duan Tianyang encounters an unexpected event, it is difficult to predict whether the new leader can still maintain the friendly relationship between the Hongxing Army and the Wild Wolf Tribe.

Kuanglang has great ambitions. What he wants is not only the territory of the Panda tribe, but also the right to speak in the entire Xifan region.

However, it is not realistic to achieve this goal relying solely on the strength of the Wild Wolf Tribe.

Therefore, Mad Wolf’s greatest hope and reliance is Duan Tianyang.

Duan Tianyang chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Chief, I've already said it just now. I have made up my mind about this matter. There is no need to persuade me anymore."

After hearing this, Crazy Wolf took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, Master Duan, let's drink this cup again for the sake of our brotherhood!"

The two of them clinked glasses and chatted happily. The night fell quietly and the party finally came to an end.

Kuanglang properly arranged accommodation for Duan Tianyang and his group, and borrowed three thousand sets of Hongxing Army uniforms and armor from Duan Tianyang.

At the same time, he ordered that all the 300,000 taels of silver donated by the Kingdom of Jin be transported to the military camp of the Hongxing Army, and the Hongxing Army also quickly sent people to transport the silver back to the interior.

As night fell, Kuanglang was even more creative and selected beauties from foreign tribes to sleep with Duan Tianyang and the Hongxing generals.

Duan Tianyang doesn't care whether others accept this arrangement or not, and he doesn't like to interfere in these private matters.

He himself politely declined the two foreign beauties. Although he enjoyed communicating with young ladies, he was by no means a frivolous and promiscuous person.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a gentle knock on the door. Duan Tianyang responded, "Come in."

The door slowly opened, Dai Zong walked in, bowed, then raised the thin bamboo tube in his hand and said calmly: "Brother Tian, ​​this is a secret letter just sent from Xiguan City."

Duan Tianyang took the bamboo tube, and lightly rotated it with his fingertips. The cover fell with a slight sound, and a piece of paper inside slipped out and slowly unfolded.

This is a letter of victory sent back by Tianyan's cousin who followed Yi Shuirou to the war against the Jin Kingdom.

A few days ago, Yi Shuirou defeated the Jin army with a smaller force at Taishan. Now he has led his army through Taishan and is heading straight into the heart of the Jin Kingdom.

Duan Tianyang stared at the battle report and couldn't help but gasp.

How did Yi Shuirou win when 80,000 imperial troops were fighting against 50,000 to 60,000 Jin defenders, and they had no geographical advantage?

There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Judging from the current situation, the Jin army is likely trying to lure the enemy deeper...

After thinking for a moment, Duan Tianyang looked up at Dai Zong and asked, "Dai Zong, is this the only copy of the battle report?"

Dai Zong replied respectfully: "This is the only copy, Brother Tian. It is becoming increasingly difficult to deliver war reports nowadays. The Tianyan cousins ​​must first send a pigeon to Xiguan City, and then send a person through the mountains and forests to deliver it to us."

"I understand." Duan Tianyang whispered and placed the strip of war newspaper on the candlestick. The flame suddenly rose and the strip of paper turned to ashes in an instant.

Dai Zong bowed respectfully and said in a low voice: "Brother Tian, ​​go to bed early. I will take my leave."

After Dai Zong left, Duan Tianyang paced anxiously in the room, feeling very worried.

The imperial army has now crossed Taishan. If the Jin people really used a strategy of luring the enemy deep into their territory, Yi Shuirou would probably be in danger at this moment.

It seems that the Hongxing Army must speed up its march...

He originally planned to let the soldiers rest in the Wild Wolf Tribe for a few more days to recuperate, but now, all plans had to be changed.

Just as he was lost in thought, there was another knock on the door.

Duan Tianyang frowned slightly, then turned around and said in a deep voice: "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened quietly, and Meiru walked into the room wearing an exotic dress.

At dinner, she was seen wearing a gentle Hanfu, but now she changed into the traditional costume of the barbarians, with a tight animal skin bra on the upper body and a light animal skin skirt on the lower body. She walked barefoot on the ground, which made her look more wild and gentle.

Duan Tianyang was slightly surprised to see Meiru visiting him late at night, and asked in a gentle voice: "Meiru, why are you still awake so late? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Meiru blinked her bright big eyes, stared at him, and said bluntly: "I heard that you didn't accept the woman my father sent."

Duan Tianyang nodded slightly and explained, "This time we are going out to fight, not to enjoy ourselves. I will lead the army to set off early tomorrow morning."

"So soon?!" Mei Ru opened her red lips slightly, her mouth curled up slightly, and then a blush appeared on her cheeks. She asked shyly: "Can I stay here and sleep with you tonight?"

If it were someone else, Duan Tianyang might have mistakenly thought that he had heard it wrong, but coming from Meiru's mouth, he was not surprised at all.

The openness of ethnic minority women is no less than that of modern Europeans and Americans.

He cleared his throat slightly unnaturally and responded softly: "Mei Ru, if you stay here tonight, I'm afraid your father will kill me tomorrow."

Mei Ru heard this with a firm look on her face, and said solemnly, "No, father will not object to what happens between us!"

After saying that, she gently moved closer to Duan Tianyang and added in a lower voice: "He also praised you highly."

Alas! Being handsome is troublesome!

Just as he was thinking about how to politely reject Meiru's affection, Dai Zong unexpectedly returned. Seeing Meiru in the house, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he politely greeted her: "Miss Meiru."

Meiru looked back with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, and muttered to herself in her heart that Dai Zong came at a really bad time.

She forced a smile and nodded slightly in response.

Duan Tianyang turned to ask Dai Zong: "Dai Zong, is there anything urgent?"

Dai Zong looked solemn. He took out a small bamboo tube from his bosom, poured out a piece of paper, and handed it over respectfully: "Brother Tian, ​​I just received an urgent war report."

Duan Tianyang took the note and his heart tightened. Could something have happened to Yi Shuirou?

He frowned and slowly unfolded the note, only to see that it was empty except for a blank piece of paper...
