Better to live forever [Rebirth]

"What did you say?!"

Gilling's face turned pale and white when he learned that the heavily armored soldiers were unfavorable and Beijing County's surprise attack was defeated.Those are the [-] heavy armor soldiers he carefully cultivated!Unexpectedly, he died for no apparent reason before actually going to the battlefield!How could he bear this bad breath? !

The young Hun King quickly suppressed his anger, and he calmly said to his subordinates, "Send someone a message and tell them that it's time to move."

"Yes! My Majesty!"

Gilling thought for a while, and only came back to his senses after a person came out of the inner room.

"Your vigilance is too low."

The visitor's tone was calm, but it made Jierling tense instantly, stood up and said respectfully: "I know my mistake, I won't do this next time."

What he said was a pure Dajing dialect.

"En." The visitor nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I've heard what happened, what are you going to do next?"

"Hail has sent people a message to the Qiang, Nanman, and Dongyi to point their swords at Dajing at the same time. In this way, no matter how brave the Zhu family's army is, they will be thrown into disarray. When the time comes—"

"I'm asking you, you, how should the Xiongnu get back this situation." The visitor interrupted him in a cold voice, and said, "Do you think that those benefits are enough to make these rich wolves, tigers and leopards listen to you? If the Xiongnu There is no chance of winning against Dajing, and they may not try their best, when the time comes, they will only wait for Dajing to take care of you, and then give you a helping hand, will you give them what they want or not?"

Gilling's face changed, and he also thought of his own negligence. He took the treasure too seriously, never thought that it was a double-edged sword, and when he was desperate, this thing would also become the Qiang Nanman to deal with him. means.

The visitor suddenly let out a long sigh, "If your elder brother is alive, you must have thought carefully, and only hate... Forget it, you have to think about how to win this game, otherwise your warriors will not wait for Dajing to enter the royal family. You will also lose without a fight. I have heard that some people have already begun to move around, planning to put down your throne and take your place and bow down like Dajing."

"...The child knows."

Gilling's face changed a few times, but finally he concealed the unwillingness in his eyes and returned to calm.

Three days later, the Qiang, Nanman, Dongyi and the Xiongnu attacked Dajing from all directions, breaking the situation where Dajing was able to handle the Huns with ease. We must face such a dilemma.Fortunately, Liangzhou, Qinzhou, Yizhou, Ningzhou, and Pingzhou, the five frontier states that bear the brunt, responded in a timely manner, and there was no tragic loss of cities.

After Emperor Zhenyuan received the battle report, he immediately ordered the three armies to respond. All civil and military officials tensed up and waited for the development of the battle.

At this time, the Zhu family's army, who should have been the most nervous, was indeed calm in the camp.

"Unexpectedly, it actually matched our worst guess."

Zhu Dingbei sighed, he looked at Ning Heng carefully and said: "Ah Heng, how did your ancestors do it? They even knew the minerals of Nanman and Dongyi, which were still barren lands at that time? , what other abilities of the Ning family have I never seen before?"

Ning Heng laughed, "I have the same question as you."

Zhu Dingbei said: "However, it is not the right way to connect interests. If the Xiongnu suffers a crushing defeat, his allies will play it by ear. When we have cleaned up the Xiongnu, they will come to share a piece of the pie... Hey, but the Qiang people, the Nanman and the Dong As soon as Yi came up, he sent the most elite soldiers to attack Dajing, which doesn't seem like perfunctory Xiongnu."

Ning Heng pondered: "Changsheng, do you still remember that the Xiongnu once dug gold mines on the border of Liangzhou?"

"I can't forget it." Zhu Dingbei squinted his eyes, "Ah Heng means that the treasure map in the hands of the Huns involves mines in several states on the border of Dajing?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Dingbei felt that it was very possible, "In the past 600 years, our Dajing border has expanded a lot, not to mention the original Xianbei tribe, even the current Pingzhou, there are more than a dozen cities from They were ceded from Dongyi’s subjects. If there are minerals in these places, presumably, the Xiongnu will give these people some sweetness first, let them try their best to capture these border cities, and take the gold and silver as their own."

Ning Heng nodded, "It should be so."

"That's where it gets tricky."

Zhu Dingbei rubbed his finger bones, and said to Ning Heng: "I think they have a special person to investigate in person, otherwise they wouldn't work so hard. Ah Heng, for the current plan, why don't we simply do nothing and keep collecting the hidden treasures of the Xiongnu?" The picture is in the pocket? Then I don’t think he’s holding a banner!”

Ning Heng said: "This is difficult."

They have placed a lot of people among the people Hu Erdu left behind for the Hunnu King, and some of them are already highly valued by Gilling. Even so, they have never even heard of the treasure map. It is also unknown how to lure the Qiang people to form an alliance.I also want to know that the King of the Huns must have valued the sheepskin scroll in his hand more than his life, even if he was killed, he might not be able to get the treasure map.

Zhu Dingbei rolled his eyelids, "Then do Gilling."

Anyway, the treasure Tujier Ling cannot be faked by human hands. When he dies, the Qiang people and other countries will have no way of knowing the few minerals they have acquired. Maybe they will send troops to the Huns to persecute the royal family for the benefits that they did not get in the agreement. It is also unknowable to reveal treasures that they may not know.In this way, this big show of turning against each other is really worth looking forward to.

"Changsheng, how sure are you?"

"I want to go myself—"

"no!"

Ning Heng interrupted him sternly, before he could continue talking with a tigerish face, Uncle Ning suddenly asked for instructions outside the door.The two put away the expressions on their faces, coughed, and invited him in.

Uncle Ning came on this trip, but told the two of them a bad news.

——Jiaozhou, there is a riot!

——Jiaozhou has fallen!

"what?!"

Jiaozhou, this is the state that attracts the least attention among the [-] states in Dajing. It can be seen from the fact that the state shepherd returns to Beijing every three years to report on his work, and the earliest state shepherd left in Jiaozhou has always been silent.Other states are reporting their political achievements and increasing taxes every year, but what about them paying the state?Could it be that how many more sinners have been collected in the past three years?Their achievements in Jiaozhou were a pain in the emperor's heart. The emperor must still remember their crimes in the heart of those people who committed the most heinous crimes when they were exiled in Jiaozhou.

This year, he had something to say in his work report, but it was because of the Jiaozhou riots and the mob's massacre of villages and other shocking evil deeds, which made anyone feel uncomfortable after hearing it.

All in all, Jiaozhou is the most unlucky place in the eyes of Dajing people, and no one would think of it for no reason.

But this time, Jiaozhou "showed" a big face in front of the people of Dajing again!

It's still a riot, those exiles are rebellious!What's even worse is that after they killed all the Dajing officials, they joined the Nanman in one fell swoop!Sending the land of Dajing Yizhou into the hands of Nanman for nothing!No cost to a single soldier!

What time is it now?

wartime!

The unexpected fall of Jiaozhou not only slapped Dajing severely, but also fueled the arrogance of the Nanman and foreign enemies!

No one can tolerate such a thing happening, but the fact is that the national boundary monument of Jiaozhou has been destroyed and replaced with the national monument of Shan State, and there is no communication with the Dajing royal family.Shan State moved so fast that one has to suspect that the coup in Jiaozhou was led by Shan State alone.

Jiaozhou has nothing to ask for, but it is full of miasma, completely unsuitable for human habitation, with overgrown forests and swamps, it is very bad, and it is a real barren land.Dajing included them in the national territory many years ago because these savages in the miasma-smoky forest were discovered. Later, these savages became the people of Dajing and moved to Ningzhou to live in Ningzhou for generations. This made Ningzhou included in the territory of Dajing.

But to Dajing, it was like a chicken rib, it was a pity to discard it, and it was tasteless to eat. In the end, the emperor simply threw the criminals here, and gradually became Dajing's state of exile.There are continuous forests here, even hills and mountains are rare. The only few mountains and rivers were inspected by the Dajing Ministry of Industry in the early years. There is no gold, silver or iron ore, so they are completely abandoned.But at this time, the Shan country, which has no profit and can't afford it early, will swallow this chicken rib at the expense of the Dajing public outrage. If there is no ulterior secret, no one will believe it.

Zhu Dingbei said with a cold face: "We should have guarded against him. The last time Zhen Feihe and Xie Yonglin were able to slaughter the three villages of Jiaozhou in one fell swoop, they must have buried people in Jiaozhou. But I never thought that he would have With such a great ability, almost half of the exiles in Jiaozhou are in their hands, and they will oppose it."

It is impossible to instigate these exiles overnight. It can be seen that after Xie Yonglin chose this background, Zhen Feihe's people planted this hidden danger here.

It's a pity that even Zhu Dingbei, with his eyes like a torch, never cared about this poor land and evil water like everyone else in Dajing. That's why the fall of Jiaozhou was so unexpected and hard to guard against.

Uncle Ning continued: "Lord Hou, Lord, after the fall of Jiaozhou, our people in Jiaozhou did not evacuate but went undercover in their camp. Now the brothers of Tianjitang have contacted them, and we must know about them soon. What the hell are you planning?"

Ning Heng nodded: "Very good. Tell them to be more careful and not show their feet."

Uncle Ning: "Don't worry, Lord Hou."

Zhu Dingbei said: "I heard that there is no shop in Jiaozhou, how come there are Ning's family members, are they also exiles?"

Ning Heng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Whoever said that there are no merchants in Jiaozhou? Although those quarries and medicinal plants are officially run by the government, there must always be someone in charge of negotiating sales."

Zhu Dingbei nodded knowingly, did not continue this topic, and said instead: "Let's not talk about this, Uncle Ning, please send a letter back for me, and ask Zhu Xiang to send someone to bring Xie Yonglin to me."
