The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 722 Strategy Change
After the princess left, Arslen Khan and I regained our serious expression.

"Aodenggerile, what is your evaluation of the current situation in the Central Plains when you go to the Central Plains this time?"

Aodengeril's face turned dark when he heard this.

"Khan, this time I went to the Central Plains mainly at the border. Although I arrived at the capital, this road is not the most prosperous place in the Central Plains. Even so, I can see the huge war potential of the Central Plains."

When he said this, Aodengeril panicked for a while.

"In the few villages and towns I passed in the north, every village and town is very martial. The young people in those villages, you can wield knives and guns in your spare time. If there is a big war, they will be able to join the army immediately. , to the front line to fight.”

Arslen Khan frowned, "It's not that serious, is it? I remember that we also sent envoys to the Central Plains a few years ago. At that time, the people in the Central Plains were honest and only knew how to farm."

On the other hand, Meng He hurriedly explained to Arslen Khan, "The news I heard is that since Jia Ke's successive victories, many families of soldiers in the north have benefited greatly, and now many people have started to build houses and buy land. Therefore, the common people think that serving as a soldier is a way to quickly change their status, so they are so martial."

Arslen Khan had sweat on his face after hearing this. If it was true as they said, if he invaded the Central Plains again, what he was waiting for was not hundreds of thousands of troops, but millions of troops.

Now Arslen Khan began to feel a little rejoiced. Fortunately, he had reached an agreement with the Central Plains. Although his daughter was sacrificed, it was her glory for the benefit of the entire Tatars.

"From now on, order all the tribes not to harass the border of the Central Plains. If anyone causes trouble to me, I will destroy him first."

When Arslen Khan said this, his tone became more and more gloomy, and it seemed that he was a little discouraged about the prospect.

Meng He saw their unwillingness to sweat profusely, so he hurriedly offered advice.

"Khan don't need to worry too much. We are not far behind the Central Plains. Although we are not as good as the Central Plains in terms of numbers, to put it bluntly, our territory is vast. If we really fight to lure the enemy deep and cut off their food and grass, the opponent will have nothing to do. .”

Arslen Khan just sighed, and then said: "That being said, if the Central Plains keeps fighting with us for decades, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for a few years."

Meng He nodded, "Khan, the Central Plains Normal University can't be provoked for the time being. We might as well focus on the West. Those people in the West are already scared by us. As long as we send out troops, we can easily plunder a lot of hard work and wealth. Since there are such soft persimmons to pinch, why bother with Zhongyuan?"

Arslen Khan thought for a while, and this is the reason, "Since that's the case, we will focus on the Western Regions from now on. And I heard that the Dashi in the Western Regions is also densely populated, and they plotted against our vassal states a few times ago. , After being repelled by us, I have been honest in the past few years. But it is not rude to come and go, I think this will start a war, and donate slaves and food to Dashi."

Meng He was very happy to hear that, which is exactly what he had always hoped for.

"Khan is wise, in this way, the boys below can also save some money, marry a house wife, and capture a few slaves to save some energy for the family."

Arslen Khan smiled emotionally and said: "We Tatars have had a hard time in the past few years. We used to be able to get food and slaves from the Central Plains. In the past few years, we suffered heavy losses every time and returned empty-handed. This is our If you miss the strategic target, you must make a good fortune when you go to the West this time.”

Now that Arslen Khan had decided to shift his strategic goal, he immediately acted vigorously.

So in the place bordering the Central Plains, the situation calmed down in an instant, and the herdsmen there no longer harassed the border, but came and went with the farmers on the border, and walked around as friends.

The goodwill of the Tatars quickly spread to the capital, and Jia Ke was relieved when he got the news. The Tatars didn't see through their plot.

While Jia Ke was sighing, the Tatars were already preparing to send the princess to the Central Plains.

As the most beautiful pearl on the prairie, Naren Gaowa's marriage naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many warriors on the prairie.

However, these people are just making small troubles and cannot change Arslen Khan's decision.

There was only one person who made trouble with Arslen Khan several times because of the princess's marriage.

Who has the courage to say?This person is none other than Arslen Khan's youngest brother - Hadan Bateer.

Since this person was captured alive by Jia Ke in front of the big battle, and finally had to be called back with the Suihou Pearl, his reputation on the grassland can be said to be discredited.

But he didn't take it seriously because he was the younger brother of the Great Khan, and he was still domineering on the grassland.

This time, seeing that the elder brother wanted to send Naren Gaowa to the Central Plains to be the wife of Jia Ke whom he hated the most, he naturally disagreed.

Arslen Khan tolerated this at the beginning, but in the end he was completely disappointed with his younger brother. He directly assigned a small tribe to him and sent him away far away.

The time for Naren Gaowa to go to the Central Plains will soon come, and this time, Aodenggerile is still accompanying her as an envoy.

This time, Aodenggeril was not only the envoy of the clan, but also sent the covenant signed by Arslen Khan to Jia Ke.

On the day Naren Gaowa left the grassland, Arslen Khan brought his wives to see him off in person.

Naren Gaowa's mother is a beautiful woman from the Western Regions, because of her beautiful appearance, she won the favor of Arslen Khan.

In the absence of Liyan in Arslen Khan, she almost became the queen of the Tatars.

Now the mother was sad for a long time when she saw that her daughter was going to marry far away in the Central Plains, but she was glad in her heart that her daughter didn't have to live on the grassland like herself.

On this day, Naren Gaowa was dressed in grand attendants, took dozens of maids with her, got into the cart specially prepared for her, and then slowly left the residence of Arslen Khan's tent.

Naren Gaowa was still a little excited when she first left, but her expression gradually became depressed. This time, the mountains are high and the road is far away. I am afraid that she will never be able to return to the grassland where she can be free.

Aodenggerile led the marriage team all the way eastward, and once again came to Gubeikou.

But this time was different from the past, outside Gubeikou, there was already an envoy from Dayan waiting here.

Under the leadership of the envoy, Aodenggeril entered the Central Plains again.

This time was different from the last time. Last time, Aodenggeril had the important affairs of the two countries in mind, so he couldn't be in the mood to look at the scenery.

But for this matter to send the princess to get married, and the two countries have reached a covenant, so he is still in the mood to travel around the mountains and rivers, and the journey on the road is not fast.

From Gubeikou to the capital, there is a distance of hundreds of miles along the way, and it would have taken four or five days like before, but this time it took them nearly a month to reach a village near the capital.

It was getting late that day, so the messenger arranged for Princess Naren Gaowa to rest in the village.

Naren Gaowa was led to a two-entry house, but when she came here, Naren Gaowa found that this small house was different.

Although I have lived in some luxurious mansions on the road before, they are not like this house with carved beams and painted buildings, and the doorposts have coiled dragons.

Although Naren Gaowa is in the grassland, she has also learned the etiquette of the Central Plains. A house with a dragon is not something ordinary people can live in.

So Naren Gaowa called the messenger who welcomed the bride and asked about the origin of this house.

The welcoming envoy of the Ministry of Rites, after listening to the princess's inquiry, hurriedly replied: "Princess Qi, this farm is my private house when I went to Wansui Longqian. The princess must be the concubine of Long Live Lord in the future, and only you are eligible to live in this house."

Naren Gaowa nodded in satisfaction after listening. Naren Gaowa had already seen this Wangjiazhuang when she came.

This manor is completely different from the manors I visited before. There are countless high-rise mansions here.

Speaking of which, this small house is really inconspicuous among so many high-rise mansions, but I didn't expect it to have such a background.

"I saw that Zhuangzi has countless high-end courtyards, and almost all of them are rich. What's going on?"

The emissary smiled and said: "Many young people in this Wangjiazhuang were the emperor's personal soldiers when he started the family. Later, the emperor made great achievements, and they were all reused. Therefore, almost every family here is a family of officials and eunuchs."

Only then did Naren Gaowa realize that this Zhuangzi was different from the previous ones.

Naren Gaowa stayed in this village for one night, and set off again the next day.

This time he was not far from the capital, and after only two days of walking, he came to the gate of the capital, where he was personally greeted by Minister of Military Aircraft, Minister of Dingli, Fan Kang.

If it was just a Tatar envoy, Fan Kang would not need to come, but this time there was the princess Naren Gaowa, thinking that she would be Jia Ke's concubine in the future, so she worked as Fan Kang's boss.

Fan Kang picked up the envoy and the princess, led them into the capital, and then sent them to the Huitong Size Hall again.

After setting up the princess and the messenger, Fan Kang went back to the palace to report to Jia Ke.

In the palace, Jia Ke got the news, thinking that the princess is also his wife after all, so it would be shameful to put it in the Huitong Size Pavilion like this.

So Fan Kang ordered Li Gui to bring the princess to the palace with Luanjia.

After receiving the order, Li Gui hurriedly set up his full suit and came to Huitong Size Hall in a hurry.

Ao Denggerile in the hall got the news that Jia Ke had sent someone to pick up the princess, and hurriedly reported it to the princess inside and the princess.

After getting the report, Naren Gaowa thought about it, and felt that since she was in the Central Plains, Fang Shang had to follow the customs of the Central Plains, so she nodded in agreement.

Then Princess Naren Gaowa took his dozens of maids and boarded the Luanjia under the service of Li Gui, and was just carried to the palace.
