Chapter 249 Linghua was kidnapped
Following the imperial chariot came Boyan Timur, a fierce general from Oara.

The elite cavalry he leads are invincible.

This was the first time in two months that Daying's army had a head-on confrontation with Wala, and they still responded quickly to the enemy in a hurry.

However, Wala was cunning and changeable, and just after the battle, he ran away again like a gust of wind.

On this day, Xiaoliu and Jiawang came back to inquire about the news.

Speaking of this Northern Expedition, the imperial commander is still in the old palace, announcing the affairs of several important officials in northern Xinjiang every day.

Jiang Chujie was temporarily appointed as the deputy commander of the Dusi because of his merits in providing grain, fodder and war horses, and his familiarity with the various Mongolian tribes, and could participate in military affairs.

Therefore, he tried his best to persuade the emperor that this war must eradicate the grassroots and completely conquer the grassland tribes.

The emperor seems to have this intention as well.

Although he was not as radical as Jiang Chujie, he said that trading with the Mongolians was a helpless move in the past. If the border troubles could be eliminated, then mutual trade would be unnecessary, and asked Fan Li if he had any good strategies to retreat from the enemy.

Fan Li bluntly said that although there are now 30 troops stationed in the northern border fortress and the Wara cavalry only has 3 troops, Daying appears to be outnumbered, but if Wara never engages in direct combat and only makes surprise attacks, it will be of no benefit to Daying. .

Since the eight cities on Xuanfu North Road had been lost, Fan Li thought that there were three routes that could lead the snake out of the cave in order to encircle the Wala rebels.

One route is to attack Longmenwei from Xuanfu, the other is to attack Chang'anling from Shacheng, and the third is to attack Houcheng from Yongning along the Baihe River.

No matter which route you choose to fight, as long as Wala fights, you can turn passivity into initiative.

Fan Li's strategy is very feasible.

But after listening to Xiao Liu's narration, I started to feel worried.

From time to time, the cruel scenes of the confrontation between the two parties appeared in my mind.Blood splattered and corpses strewn all over the ground, it was like hell;

The figures of Da Ying's soldiers emerged.The faces under the armor were silent and dull, like rows of wood carvings and clay sculptures, just waiting for an order to charge into the battle, but their lives were like a piece of grass.

But those soldiers were obviously flesh and blood, just like the Yuzhou boy.

I mounted my horse and went to find Sudiya.

The maid led me to Sudiya's tent.

As soon as the curtain was opened, Sudya's sharp voice came to my face.

"Your father can't even care about me. Who are you? If it wasn't for the sake of the whole clan, how could I marry you? You're so horny when you pee! What qualifications do you have to care about me?"

In the tent, Sudiya was sitting at the table.

There are two gold basins of fruits and vegetables on the table, a set of white jade-like porcelain wine sets, and two bottles of wine placed beside the table.

A young and elegant Han man wearing Mongolian clothing stood with his hands hanging down.

Zalik stood in front of the case and was angry.

When they heard someone entering the tent, all three of them glanced at me.

Immediately, Zalik suddenly overturned the table, but Sudiya quickly stood up and walked to him, slap, slap, slap, and slapped Zalik's face several times.

Zalik covered his face, and was stunned by Sudiya's momentum. He was about to fight back when he reacted, but as soon as he raised his hand, five or six Mongolian women in well-dressed clothes rushed out from the curtains of the tent, and swiped Shu pulled out his machete, guarded it in front of Sudiya, and stared coldly at Zalik.

Zalik's majestic body calmed down after taking a few deep breaths, snorted angrily, and left with a puff of his sleeves.

When he turned around, I could still feel his malicious gaze through my veil:

"No matter what, I'm your husband too! If you want to find these pretty boys, go outside! Don't always hang around in front of me!"

"Bah!" When he left, he spat hard on the ground. “Things that don’t make it to the table.”

Sudiya said something disdainfully, and then her expression returned to normal. She saluted the Han man and said slowly, "Sir, this is a joke."

The man returned the greeting and said: "Your Majesty, Princess, is in great numbers and very courageous. She is not inferior to the men. She is powerful, powerful."

Sudiya laughed heartily. After laughing, she waved to me and said, "Come on, come on, introduce me to Mr. Zhou. This man is the Mr. Zhao I told you. He is also the man who drew the plans and built the city for our Tumed Ministry. .”

"Mr. Zhao, this is Mr. Zhou, the gentleman I newly invited to explain the Central Plains culture to me. He is well-read and knows everything."

"Princess praises."

Mr. Zhou and I bowed to each other, and he stood up and left.

Sudiya ordered the maid to fetch two bows, threw one to me, and said, "Let's go hunting."

Sudya and I galloped for a while, and then we lost sight of the white felt bag of Tumut's department.

The scorching sun shines on the grass, and the soft grass glows like mercury, sparkling like clear water.

Sudiya let the horse lower its head to eat grass and said, "But what's the important matter? Otherwise you won't come over."

She looked at me, raised her eyes charmingly, paused, and then said, "It's still at this juncture."

I said, "Daying and Wala are going to fight. What do you think?"

"Isn't this battle going to happen sooner or later? As long as it doesn't hinder the horse market, they can fight as they like."

I lowered my eyes and said softly: "Do you still remember that when Ying Xuanzong was on the throne, the current emperor was still an insignificant prince, and was kidnapped by An Da Khan with the intention of forcing the Ying garrison to retreat. Your real purpose is to be able to fight with The Central Plains offered tribute and mutual trade, but Xuanzong would rather let his own brother die than agree to the mutual trade request."

"If King Jin hadn't suddenly raised his troops to rebel, and the various places were unable to defend themselves, they had to urgently send General Fan back. Otherwise, Ying Xuanzong would never have allowed the mutual trade between Mongolia and Han."

I was silent for a while, thinking of Liang Xianyi at that time.

He was so uninhibited and uninhibited in the Tumut Department, and he was still in the mood to catch fireflies... So what was going on in his careless mind?

I said in a deep voice: "Actually, the imperial court's thinking has always been like this. It is worried that once the mutual market opens, it will take advantage of you. If you have a wild mind and go south to provoke, it will not be good. The same is true for the current emperor."

Sudiya's eyes fell into the distance, and after a while, she said: "Miss Lin, what you said is exactly the same as Mr. Zhou. What do you think of our Tumut Department?"

"Now that I have paid tribute and become a vassal, I will unite with the Central Plains to control Oara."

"Although we pay tribute to the Central Plains, our Tumut tribe is still people from the grassland. Unless they invade each other, they will not be enemies, let alone fight against other tribes with the Central Plains people." Sudiya said flatly.

"Then what if Wala loses?"

Sudiya said loudly: "Wala is defeated, what does it have to do with us? If the Emperor of the Central Plains is unreasonable, our Tumote tribe is not a coward."

Leaving the Tumote Department, I rode my horse slowly, thinking about all kinds of things.

Suddenly Xiaoliu came running quickly on horseback.

His eyes were covered with sweat and his eyes were swollen. When he saw me, he said anxiously: "Master, the Linghua was kidnapped by the Wala people——"

No wonder Xiaoliu's eyes were swollen from crying, and Jiawang, who was inseparable from him, died.

There were sixteen guards around the house, including Jia Wang, patrolling the grasslands around the house.

Linghua went to pick young vegetable leaves from a piece of cultivated land, and Jiawang led the horse to protect her.

I don’t want to encounter a dozen Wala cavalry.Jiawang and the other two guards died, and Linghua was kidnapped.
