Chapter 504;

In the next period of time, many people paid attention to the situation in Xirong.

I have to say that Lu Yaoyao's fire was so accurate.

Just like lighting up a gas station, the flames of killing and looting quickly spread across the Xirong Grassland.

Just as Lu Yaoyao said at the beginning, the blood in the grassland is still there.

Many weak tribes were plundered wantonly by some powerful ones, so they could only seek the protection of the royal court of Xirong.

And since Xirong Khan became seriously ill, the First Prince and the Second Prince fought for power, and the other weak princes all shrank in order to protect themselves.

Now, the second prince is in Dongzhou, and most of the affairs in Xirong are handled by the first prince.

Faced with so many small tribes asking for help, it was no surprise that the First Prince chose to help.

After all, this is a good opportunity to accumulate prestige, even though these tribes are small and weak.

But there are so many people, and it is not a small force to unite them all.

No, the Xirong royal court directly sent troops to suppress it, but in the end, it didn't develop according to the eldest prince's idea at all.

Originally, he thought that as long as Wang Ting sent troops, relying on the prestige of the past, it would be no problem to suppress the riot easily.

But in fact, all the major tribes are now jealous, and all old and new hatreds have erupted.

It is no longer simply to rob wool and sell it for food at the beginning, but more to want to avenge all the grievances that have been going on for many years.

Of course, it is best to destroy the opponent, so that not only can you get wool, but you can also take over more resources from the opponent's tribe.

At the very beginning, several powerful tribes tasted the sweetness and couldn't stop it at all.

Now the royal court of Xirong still wants to suppress them?
It even released all their dissatisfaction with the royal court of Xirong in the past years.

What did the royal court of Xirong do when they were in distress?
Every year they would pay tribute a lot of good things, but when they were facing hunger and cold, the royal court of Xirong asked them for food, but they refused to give it for a long time.

When the Northern Chu was fought, how many people from the various tribes went?But how many came back?
People are gone, the battle is lost, and when the compensation is paid to Northern Chu, the Xirong Royal Court still let them, the people, take the lead.

Now that they have found a way to survive, who would be willing if you, the Royal Court of Xirong, want to stop it?

No, all of a sudden, the battle between the various tribes has evolved into a counterattack of the various tribes against the Royal Court of Xirong.

The fight was extremely fierce. Facing the alliance of so many tribes, although the royal court of Xirong had strong soldiers and horses, they couldn't hold back the large number of people, and were beaten back steadily.

Seeing this situation, many tribes who were originally loyal to the royal court of Xirong gradually began to have their own ideas.

The Xirong Grassland is completely in chaos, and the Xirong Royal Court has committed public outrage. If they continue to follow, they may end up in a bad situation.

As a result, with the change of people's hearts, the situation of Xirong Royal Court is even more difficult.

In desperation, the eldest prince had no choice but to turn his attention to those small tribes that had taken refuge and asked them to join forces.

The continuous battles made the Xirong Royal Court, which was not particularly wealthy, feel a little bit unable to make ends meet, and it was a time when the winter was so lean.

What happened, those small tribes who originally sought refuge in the Xirong Royal Court found that the Xirong Royal Court could not do it.

Many people planned to withdraw again, how could the First Prince agree in such a situation?
It was for them that he made things like this at the beginning, and now he has fewer and fewer people to use. If these go away, he will be wiped out by those crazy tribes in a short time.

It's hard to say no, you can only use force. In short, after this pass, the eldest prince lost his wife and lost his army.

The prestige did not accumulate, but instead made those small tribes hate him. After all, there were not many people in each family, and they were all forcibly arrested to suppress the rebellion, and many people died.

Moreover, the Royal Court of Xirong didn't give them much food. They couldn't eat enough, and they couldn't starve to death. They had to work hard.

The second prince of Xirong, who is far away in Dongzhou, has been paying close attention to the situation of Xirong.

When he knew that his elder brother was not worth the loss, he was very happy.

He hurriedly found King Ning and asked him to send troops to help again. Naturally, King Ning would not refuse, and found Duke Zhen Guo again.

"It's okay to send troops, but it's not okay to suppress it by force. You should know the fate of the First Prince Xirong, right?"

King Ning nodded.

"Then since forcible suppression is not advisable, what should we do?"

"They are nothing more than food. As long as they are full, who will go all out?"

"Then let's prepare some food."

Hearing this, Lord Zhen shook his head and said, "Why are you still planning to give it away for nothing? We will give food, but we can't give it away for nothing. You know the situation in Xirong very well. Even if the suppression goes on this time, it will explode soon."

"After all, they have always been short of food over there."

This is the truth, Xirong doesn't do much farming, and spends most of its time nomadic with water and grass, and there is indeed a lot of food shortages.

Every year when there is a shortage of food, many people in Xirong have no food, and these people will unite to harass and rob the border.

That was before, but now, Xirong is too weak, they may not really dare to harass the borders of other countries.

It is inevitable that it can only be plundered internally. If this continues year after year, can Xirong still have a good?

Therefore, Duke Zhen is now somewhat shaken in his heart to continue to support the second prince of Xirong.

It's more about wanting to get as much benefit from Xi Rong as possible.

"I'll talk about it, and you don't have to worry about it."

For King Ning, Lord Zhen is not as enthusiastic as before. There is no way that this child has grown up and has his own thoughts.

Moreover, the current King Ning treats him differently.

If you continue to support, you will definitely support it, but it is hard to say whether you will do your best. After all, King Ning's supremacy is also a guarantee for him.

"Well, then I will trouble uncle."

King Ning couldn't wish for such a statement from Lord Zhen Guo.

His staff had already told him that Xi Rong's affairs were very troublesome, and if he wanted to make friends with Lu Yaoyao, he couldn't be too concerned.

Moreover, Lu Yaoyao may not be able to give him face. Instead of being unfriendly, it is better to agree to help Xirong in Mingli and lean towards Lu Yaoyao's side in private.

Now Lord Zhen said to leave it all to him. In his opinion, this is the best.

When King Ning left Zhen Guogong's mansion and returned to the mansion, the second prince Xirong was still there. When he saw him, the second prince Xirong hurriedly got up to ask about the situation.

"Duke Zhen already has a plan for this matter, borrowing people is definitely possible, but just suppressing it by force is not enough."

"You don't want to be like your elder brother, do you?"

The second prince of Xirong nodded repeatedly, it would be a good thing to lend someone to him.

"You go back first, the king estimates that Duke Zhen will look for you soon."
