Chapter 139: Miranda's Ambition
The two important ministers under his command disagreed, Miranda's eyes flickered, her eyelids drooped, and she remained silent. Tulu and Yan Qi looked at each other and fell silent. After a while, Miranda raised her head again, but her expression returned to normal. She pawed and pulled on the bed, picked up a piece of paper, threw it to Tulu, and said with a smile: "That guy from Fufeng in Liaoxi It's very active now."
Tulu took the paper, glanced at it, his face changed color, "Another tribe wiped out?" He handed the paper to Yan Qi.
"This Gao Yuan is the young man who hurt Yan Qi. After killing La Trobe, he was silent for two or three months. I thought he just saw it and let it go. I don't want to be active again now. Over time, our two small tribes were successively defeated, and nearly 600 Donghu warriors fell." Miranda spoke casually, as if 600 human lives were not worth mentioning in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, he has crossed the border. These two tribes are far away from Fufeng. This person is arbitrarily provoking a frontier quarrel. Even if we don't fight back, we should issue a letter of credence to reprimand Dayan and demand that Zhang Shouyue severely punish this person." Tulu sternly road.
Miranda laughed, "I sent someone to question Zhang Shouyue. Guess what Zhang Shouyue said?"
The two shook their heads at the same time.
"Zhang Shouyue is also interesting. He told my special envoy that the little guys are fighting and fighting. How can you bring it up on the table? Didn't you Donghu tribe often come to wander around my territory in the past? Also, you come and go, each other, the prince of Donghu is making such a big fuss, isn't it a fuss?" Miranda repeated Zhang Shouyue's words with a smile.
"Zhang Shouyue is tired of living. If you hadn't withdrawn your troops back then, Your Majesty, there would be no Zhang Shouyue today. I'm afraid his bones would be reduced to scum. Your Majesty, what Zhang Shouyue said is equivalent to a declaration of war. Teach them a lesson and think we are afraid of them." Tulu said angrily.
Miranda didn't answer Tulu's words, and patted the bed with her hand, "This is Gao Yuan, by the way, it's called Gao Yuan, it's interesting, less than a year in the army, he was promoted from a soldier to a county captain, with Fufeng Helping people, he was able to wipe out La Trobe and several of our small tribes, and now his cavalry has dared to penetrate hundreds of miles into our Donghu area, which is interesting."
"Where did he get the cavalry, they must be those bastards from the Helan tribe of the Xiongnu!" Yan Qi snorted.
"No!" Miranda shook her finger, "It was true that he had an appointment with the Helan tribe last time, but the latest time, he went out alone. On the side of the Helan tribe, I sent someone to the Xiongnu King and the Huns The tribe exerted pressure, and the Helan tribe is now restricted by them, and they can no longer send troops to help him, but this Gao Yuan is still brazenly sending troops, this person is indeed a little different."
"He actually has cavalry!" Yan Qi gasped.
"Yes, not many, there are only a hundred cavalry. Judging from their combat style, they are similar to the cavalry of the Huns. It seems that they were trained by the Helan tribe. This Gaoyuan has wiped out several of our small tribes, and the captured prisoners They were all given to the Helan tribe, in exchange for the war horses of the Helan tribe, and it is a good idea to build a cavalry to compete with us." Miranda laughed.
"He's killing himself!" Yan Qi sneered, "If he has an elite infantry and defends the city, it will indeed cause us trouble, but he has a whimsical idea and wants to form a cavalry to fight against us." We are fighting for the front, but we don't know the height of the sky. From this point of view, although this person is brave, he is still simple-minded and not to be feared."
"Your Majesty, General Yan Qi is certainly right, but this man repeatedly insulted the dignity of our clan and refused to teach him a lesson. Once he came, he made all the members of the Eastern Hu family feel cold.
Secondly, it will also increase the arrogance of the surrounding enemies. I think that this person should be eliminated and passed on to the surrounding areas to make an example. It can also be regarded as a lesson for Zhang Shouyue. "Trudo.
"Lord Tulu is right!" Yan Qi maintained the same opinion as Tulu.
"Then let Tirasu go!" Miranda said casually, "Tirasu has nearly two thousand troops under his command, which should be more than enough to deal with him."
"Yes." Tulu replied.
"In addition, for Thorpe to be stationed in Yulin, I need to have a forward camp in Yulin with complete facilities, transfer capacity and supply capacity sufficient to support an army of 100,000." Miranda took out a small knife from the bed, carefully While trimming his nails, he said casually.
But Tulu and Yan Qi were terrified. Didn’t Miranda just say that now is not the time to launch a war against Dayan? How could they build a forward camp in Yulin in the blink of an eye? It's a journey of about five hundred miles.
"Don't think too much!" Miranda glanced at them, "I'm just making some preparations, so I won't be in a hurry."
"My lord, do you mean preparing to fight Dayan?" Tulu asked cautiously.
Putting down the knife in his hand, Miranda sat up straight, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Over the past year, more and more information has shown that there may be troubles in Dayan."
"Civil strife is going to happen in Dayan?" Tulu said in surprise, "Now Linghu Chao is in full swing, controlling the state affairs with one hand, and no one can shake his authority. Where did this trouble come from?"
Miranda sneered and said: "It is precisely because he covers the sky with one hand and is arrogant that troubles are likely to occur. This person is too greedy. Over the past ten years, he has made too many enemies in the country. The Taiwei who is in charge of the army, the supervisor who supervises all officials So, those who are crushed by him, how can these people be reconciled, don't talk about others, let's take Zhang Shouyue as an example. It is justifiable to get the fief of Liaoxi, but Linghu Chao forcibly suppressed it for his own self-interest. Zhang Shouyue is not a fool. An Neng doesn't know? Even a person with military power like Zhang Shouyue is like this, You can imagine Linghu Chao's demeanor."
Both Tulu and Yan Qi are silent. There are still many things that Miranda has not said. The king must have obtained some other more important information. Otherwise, such a big matter as the construction of the forward camp will not be done easily. determination.
"My lord, Linghu Chao has Zhao Guo's support behind him, which is why he is unscrupulous. If there is a disturbance in Yan Guo against Linghu Chao, with Zhao Guo's support, I am afraid that there will be no big waves, and it will soon Be calmed down!" Tulu pondered, "If the time is too short, our chances are not great!"
"That's why I said to prepare first!" Miranda said with a smile: "If we don't make preparations, when the opportunity really comes, we will be overwhelmed, and I have a hunch that Linghu Chao will really be in trouble this time." .”
"If there is chaos in Yan State, we can take this opportunity to take Liaoxi County." Yan Qi's eyes flickered, "and then sit and watch the situation change. The people of Yan took Linghu Chao and made a grudge against Zhao State. We attack Yan State, Zhao State If you don't send troops to help, how can the country of Yan resist our iron hooves?"
"This is only relatively speaking. Zhao Guo may sit back and watch Yan Guo suffer a big loss, and then unite against us again under the condition of getting enough compensation." Tu Ludao.
"Even so, we still have enough time to swallow Liaoxi County and open the passage for horses to step into the Central Plains." Yan Qi yearned authentically, "After taking Liaoxi County, the door of the Central Plains will be truly opened to us."
"Yan Qi is right!" Miranda straightened her body, her eyes sparkled, "With the Liaoxi County, we will have a geography. We can advance and attack, retreat and defend. We will truly be the foundation of all generations. And it's not that the countries in the Central Plains don't know the important position of Liaoxi County, so although I have been trying to seize it all these years, I didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of provoking the coalition forces of the Central Plains countries. There is chaos in the country, as long as they do it themselves first, that is our chance."
"Your Majesty has far-sighted plans!" Tulu and Yan Qi nodded repeatedly.
"I'm over sixty years old, and I won't live long!" Miranda's upright figure suddenly hunched down again, "I want to do this well before I die, so as to lay the foundation for my Donghu. This is me Last thought."
"Your Majesty!" The two important ministers wanted to say something, but Miranda waved her hand to stop them.
"There is no need to say nice words. People live for a hundred years and they will die eventually. When I was young, I fought everywhere and was covered in injuries. Over the years, my health has been deteriorating. I was afraid that I would not be able to wait for this opportunity, but God is sorry. , I finally saw hope, that Gao Yuan from Fufeng County gave us a chance to move troops to the border of Dayan without attracting too much attention from Yan State. Well, if Tirasu fails again, it will be Happier."
"Ah?" Both Tulu and Yan Qi were surprised.
"My lord, there are nearly two thousand cavalry under Tirasu's men. How can they lose against Gao Yuan?" Tulu shook his head again and again.
"It's good to win, but if I lose, can I transfer another tribe with 4,000 or 5,000 riders?" Miranda laughed and said, "Revenge, revenge!"
The two suddenly realized, but they still didn't take it seriously that Tirasu might fail.
"Thorpe is going to build the forward camp, and I'll take Thork out for a walk." Miranda smiled and said, "Tulu, Yan Qi, you two will take good care of Luo for me and Lin Cheng."
"Your Majesty is going out for inspection?" Tulu asked.
"I always have to go out and have a look, let some guys see that Miranda is still alive and well, so that when I want to transfer troops, they push me back and forth and spoil my business." Miranda laughed.
The two immediately understood that Miranda's tour this time was to suppress some people's prestige. However, Miranda's attitude towards the heir made them a bit elusive. Thorpe was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. The lucrative task of building an advance camp was enough to bring Thorpe's own troop strength to a new level, and Miranda went on patrol. , but brought Sock with him, Lao Wang's thoughts are always confusing.
