The king behind the empress

Chapter 414 How about I wait here to bury my bones
"That's true."

Sun Xing nodded when he heard the words, although this is what the military adviser told him, but if he lost his troops and generals just for such a trivial matter, no one would do it.

However, what made Sun Xing a little concerned was how Wu Lianghe's strength was so strong. It stands to reason that three Tianmen soldiers could not defeat an ordinary barbarian soldier in one-on-one, but if there were thousands of people, A thousand Tianmen soldiers can definitely beat a thousand barbarian soldiers.

And if it is tens of thousands, it will be even simpler. Ten thousand Tianmen troops can definitely defeat more than [-] barbarian soldiers with ease.

But listening to the meaning revealed in Liu Yu's words, let alone three thousand to five thousand, it seems that three thousand to three thousand, he is not sure.

"Is that Wulianghe's army really that strong?"

"Without fighting, I can't judge how strong he is."

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "However, the individual strength of the barbarians is stronger than ours. The reason why they are not my opponents is because there is no good commander. military."

"However, Wu Lianghe's army violated this law. There are five thousand soldiers, which give me the feeling that they are like a pack of wolves about to hunt. The division of labor is orderly, and the work is orderly. If it weren't for the fact that the barbarians are slightly different from us in the Central Plains, I would even think it was my Great Zhou's army."

"The barbarians have military discipline, which is not a good thing."

Sun Xing frowned upon hearing this. The last time a barbarian with military discipline was allowed to unify the barbarians on the grassland. In the end, with the power of the whole country, he forcibly defeated the barbarian lord, but he also suffered huge losses. Now there is another one who can tame Does the barbarian mean that another barbarian lord will appear on the grassland?

"It's really not a good thing."

When Kou Yi heard this, he knocked on the table and attracted everyone's attention. When the four of them turned to look at him, Kou Yi carefully took out a bloody secret letter and handed it to him. Give it to the four people, and ask Zhuang to check them one by one.

"The spies I placed in the grassland risked their lives to send a secret letter."

Seeing everyone circulating the envelopes, Kou Yi continued to speak: "The letter said that the barbarian tribes on the grassland, except for the barbarians, were basically conquered by Wu Lianghe, and although Wu Lianghe didn't Mobilize those savages, but force them to bow their heads with the general trend of unifying the grassland, so as long as there is enough food, those savages will also send people to fight for Wu Lianghe."

"In other words, the barbarians are now unified."

"Already unified?"

The four of Liu Yu were a little terrified when they heard this. They have dealt with the barbarians all year round, and they know better than anyone what kind of strength the barbarians have. In the past, it was only because they were scattered, so Da Zhou never took them seriously. superior.

But if they unite and form a rope, plus there is a Wu Lianghe who can subdue barbarians and understands military training, how effective this can be, several people are a little scared when they think about it.

"Kou Shuai, is the news reliable?"

Sun Xing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said hesitantly: "I'm not questioning you, it's just... just... the news I received some time ago that Wu Lianghe is still fighting everywhere. It's only been a few months, and the barbarians have been killed He is convinced?"

"The news is reliable."

Kou Yi nodded with a serious expression, "I have always had dark threads among the barbarians. In order to send this letter to me, at least 20 people were exposed."

Kou Yi didn't mention the consequences of those people being exposed, but even Da Zhou would not show mercy to traitors, let alone the barbarians known for being uncivilized.

"This won't work, we have to report the news to the court as soon as possible."

Sun Xing became a little anxious for a moment, "The last barbarian catastrophe caused heavy losses to Dazhou. The old emperor worked hard for decades to restore Dazhou's national strength. Now that the barbarians are about to be unified again, we must take advantage of his foundation. When you are still shallow, defeat him directly, otherwise my Dazhou will face another catastrophe."

"I've already said, it's useless."

Speaking of this, Kou Yi showed a helpless smile on his face, and then said: "This letter, I sent it to the capital as soon as I got it, and then the king of Zizai gave me a reply."

"King of freedom?"

Hearing this name, Sun Xing suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "He... what did he say?"

During this period of time, although Mo Zizai's reputation has changed a little because of the victories he fought in those battles, in the eyes of outsiders, those battles were fought by the Yuzhi Army. , As for other things, it has nothing to do with him, so in the hearts of outsiders, Mo Zizai is still synonymous with unreliable.

"He said that the relatives of those who died in battle should be treated kindly, and more pensions must be given. If there is not enough money, it can be paid from the court."

When Kou Yi said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his expression, "I really didn't expect that King Zizai, known for his cruelty and cold-bloodedness, would care so much about the life and death of ordinary soldiers."

"His reply is... that's all?"

"Well, gone."

Kou Yi carefully took back the blood-stained secret letter passed on by several people, and then said a little weakly: "Afterwards, I sent another letter, explaining the dangers of barbarian unification."

"As a result... the King of Freedom said that it is enough to let the old man rest in peace. The barbarians are just a bunch of clowns. Don't take it to heart. When he finishes his work and frees up his hands, he will come to educate these barbarians. "

"Heh, the clown who jumps on the beam, educates the barbarians, hehe..."

Kou Yi sneered a few times, then suddenly became furious, slammed the table, and shouted sharply: "Earlier, Emperor Jing Wu almost let me destroy the country in order to resist the barbarians, and later, our Tianmen army killed 10,000+ soldiers in order to weaken the barbarians. "

"What right does he have to look down on barbarians? What ability does he have to look down on barbarians?"

"Don't say it's him, even if his old man Mo Congyi came, he wouldn't dare to say that!"

When Kou Yi called Mo Congyi, he didn't even use his honorific title, obviously out of temper.

Their Tianmen army has suffered countless casualties for the barbarians over the years. Now that the barbarians are about to be unified, they may even directly threaten the survival of Da Zhou. In Mo Zizai's mouth, they are just a flimsy jumping clown.

This attitude of ignoring the barbarians at all is not only looking down on the barbarians, but also ignoring the efforts made by the Great Zhou Dynasty to resist the barbarians. How can this keep him from getting angry.

If it weren't for the good self-cultivation of Old General Kou, I am afraid that the phrase "ignorant bastard" would have come out of his mouth long ago.

Seeing Kou Yi getting angry, the faces of the rest of them were not good. No matter who they are in contact with, they are still the courtiers of the Great Zhou. Over the years, they have worked hard to guard the gate of the Great Zhou. Now Mo Zizai said that the barbarians are clowns, so who are their opponents like clowns?
Mo Zizai didn't know how these veterans reacted like this. If he knew, he might be very helpless, because he didn't say that these barbarians were clowns, but said that these barbarians were not even clowns.

However, he didn't mean to be angry with the old general Kou. At that time, he patiently analyzed a wave with Kou Yi, saying that even if Wu Lianghe unified the barbarians, he still needed time to rest and train troops, and wanted to launch an offensive against Da Zhou. It will take at least half a year to a year, and by that time, these barbarians are not even considered clowns to them, and they can be destroyed with a snap of their fingers.

After all, Han Qu's 15 army has already taken shape, and with the Yuzhi Army's [-]-odd men, although there are only [-], Mo Zizai has the confidence to use them to sweep the world.

In Mo Zizai's plan, it will take at most three months to pacify the southern family. At that time, we will take a little rest and then wipe out the fourth uncle. The next step is to "educate" the barbarians. It is estimated that at that time, Wu Lianghe If you die, you can only initially unite the barbarian army.

On Mo Zizai's side, at least all members have to be cleansed, and they are all elites who have gone through the baptism of war. By that time, beating barbarians will not be the same as adults bullying children. You can fight as you want. Therefore, Mo Zizai didn't take the barbarians seriously at all.

Even if Wu Lianghe wants to use Dazhou to train troops, it's okay to send troops without waiting for the integration of the armies of various tribes. Anyway, the fourth uncle is carrying it in front. In the case of guarding the city, even if the fourth uncle cooks again, he can carry it for two months. Let's talk about the headquarters city. When the time comes, speed up the progress. After the southern family is wiped out, let's put down the matter of cutting grass and roots and go directly to the northern border. It's a big deal.

Anyway, with absolute strength in hand, even if the worst situation arises, and the fourth uncle flees without a fight, Mo Zizai still has [-] Habayashi Army in his hands, and the overall strength of this Habayashi Army is what Mo Zizai is now. The strongest army in Zizai's hands, after all, they are all elites, and there are still a large number of them. In a real fight, Han Qu's [-] new recruits are not of the same level at all.

So with this trump card in hand, Mo Zizai didn't have any worries at all.

It's just that he definitely can't tell Kou Yi about these things. First, he doesn't know what Kou Yi's position is. Second, even if he really tells Kou Yi, Kou Yi will think that he must be crazy.

After all, 10,000+, nearly 20 marrow-washing realms, it may not be enough to collect and add people from the four countries and even the barbarians. It is simply nonsense for Mo Zizai to say that he alone has so many talk.

Therefore, after receiving Mo Zizai's reply at that time, this well-mannered old general immediately exploded with anger, and then Kou Yi, who hadn't slept all night, made a major decision.

Kou Yi restrained his anger for a while, thinking about the decision made that night, looked at the four of them, and said slowly: "The unification of the barbarians is bound to cause disaster. You should know this truth without me telling you."

"In addition to the internal turmoil in my Great Zhou Dynasty, the King of Bei'an is also ready to move, and even plans to transfer the elite of the Tianmen Army out of the northern border."

"If we wait until the day when the civil war in my Great Zhou is over and the national strength is exhausted, Wu Lianghe will definitely lead the reorganized barbarian army to march south. At that time, the [-] recruits recruited by King Bei'an will be powerless to resist. .”

"And when the gate of heaven is breached and the barbarians drive straight in, the northern border will inevitably be lost, and even the entire Great Zhou will be poisoned by the barbarians."

Speaking of this, Kou Yi seemed to see the scene when the barbarians entered the customs, and he couldn't help closing his eyes, "I joined the army to resist the barbarians, so I will definitely not let this happen."

"I don't know what Kou Shuai's plan is, but please give Kou Shuai orders."

The faces of Liu Yu and the others were grim. They had seen a lot of horrors after the massacre of border towns. They knew the consequences of letting the barbarians enter the customs, so no matter what they were thinking before, they did not hesitate at the moment, "In any case, we will wait for you If you risk your life, you won't let the barbarians enter the pass!"

"Very well, as expected of the soldiers brought out by the old man."

Seeing the firm faces of the four people, Kou Yi nodded with some relief, and then he changed the subject directly, startling the four of them, "But you guessed right about one thing, the old man really wants to Your life."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, the four of them were startled, and then immediately looked at Kou Yi vigilantly, and at the same time subconsciously looked out of the tent. They thought that Kou Yi had ambushed the knives outside and wanted to take their lives Woolen cloth,

But after the subconscious reaction, the four of them remembered that the person in front of them was Kou Yi, their leader in the army, so after hesitating for a moment, the four of them lowered their guard one after another, and finally Liu Yu spoke first.

He smiled carefreely, and said to Kou Yi: "If there was no Kou Shuai, I, Liu Yu, would have died countless times. Since Kou Shuai wants my life now, then take it and treat it as the first I paid Kou Shuai back once, and I will pay back the rest in my next life."

"Although Liu Yu doesn't like his brain when he speaks, he said this sentence quite well."

Sun Qing also smiled helplessly, and then took Liu Yu's words and said: "If others want my life, I, Sun Qing, no matter how incompetent I am, I will give it a go."

"But if it's Kou Shuai, one life is really not enough to pay you back, so it's not a problem for Kou Shuai to want it."

"But there is one thing, I am more afraid of pain, Kou Shuai, you'd better choose a simpler way to die for me, otherwise I owe you so many lives, and I will renege on my debt in the next life."

Although Hu Ran and Sun Xing didn't say much, they still bowed to Kou Yi and said, "Only by Kou Shuai's order, I don't have any complaints."

Seeing that after he said that he wanted the lives of the three of them, the three of them decided to die without hesitation, Kou Yi's eyes couldn't help but a little wet, but he didn't say anything, but raised his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "The old man just said that he wanted your lives, but he didn't say that he wanted you to die in my hands."

After raising his head and saying a word, Kou Yi waited for his emotions to recover a little bit, then lowered his head again, looked at the four people, and continued: "Although this place is not in my Dazhou territory, we fought here. It’s been a lifetime battle, and for us, the difference between here and Dazhou is not very big.”

"So I see beautiful mountains and clear waters here, which is just right for our burial site. What do you think?"
