Chapter 128: Before fighting against the outside world, one must first make peace with the inside
Ying Xuanze calmed himself down. After these days of fighting, he had completely wiped out all the Hu forces on the grassland.
In addition, Wang Yuan in Xiliang was also eliminated by Zhang Fei and Zhang Liang. Now Xiliang and the entire northern grassland are no longer threatened.
If the people can graze and raise horses with peace of mind and he does what he promised to the people, his reputation will reach an unprecedented height.
As the saying goes, water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world!
Except for the restless Chao State, all other border threats of Daying were eliminated by him, and Huang Chan's reputation also became bad because Huang Yan forcibly seized food from the people.
Thinking of this, Ying Xuanze smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry, Huang Chan, your son won't be too lonely down there. I will personally send you to reunite with your son in a while."
"Even if you are a cuckold in the capital, I will smash your shell and kill you! The humiliation my father has suffered will be repaid a hundredfold by you!"
Ying Xuanze glanced behind him and saw his men carrying food, weapons and other supplies from the Luge tribe.
Now that the grassland has been secured, the only remaining threat is the remnants of the Nagor tribe who have already fled far away.
He opened the system mall again and began to spend points to build an army.
[Exchange for 150 million adult men, consuming a total of 10,000 points! ]
[Exchange for 15,000 two-star spears, consuming a total of 600,000 points! ]
Finally, he chose the [Qin Cavalry] template to upgrade these adult men!
[Exchange for 15,000 Qin cavalry, consuming a total of 3 million points! ]
Fifteen thousand Qin cavalrymen stood in front of him in an orderly manner. These Qin cavalrymen had the characteristics of northwestern men. Each of them was tall and strong with dark skin and well-defined muscles.
Ying Xuanze planned to give all the two-star longbows left on the battlefield to the Qin cavalry. These were left behind by the Wei Wuzu and Zhao cavalry who died in the battle, which would save a lot of points.
The Wei Wuzu came over with longbows and war horses. The Qin cavalry took the longbows and quivers, then mounted their horses and waited for Ying Xuanze's orders.
"Qubing, follow me to chase the fleeing people of the Nagor tribe. Yunchang and Pengju, take those Hu captives back after you have dealt with this place."
The three responded at the same time: "Yes!"
Ying Xuanze gave a look, then he and Huo Qubing mounted their horses and chased along the escape route of Nagorburu. The Qin cavalry also followed but kept a distance.
This was Ying Xuanze's request, in order not to alert the enemy. He and Huo Qubing would also leave traces along the way so that the Qin cavalry would not get lost.
......
Capital city, Golden Palace.
The Golden Palace is where the empress dowager lives. Except for the emperor, no one can enter the palace without the empress dowager's permission.
At this moment in the hall, Queen Mother Wang Ziyin was sitting in front of a bronze mirror with her three thousand black silk strands standing up. Her delicate face was reflected in the mirror, but there was a trace of unsolvable sadness between her brows.
"Zishang, has there been any new news from the Bemeng Grassland in such a long time? It has been quite a few days since my brother told me the news last time."
Wang Ziyan grasped the comb lightly, a hint of anger flashing across her face.
"Empress Dowager, this matter is not the fault of Sima, but of Huang Yan..." A deep voice came from a shadow somewhere in the audience.
"Huang Yan?" Wang Ziyin stopped what she was doing and asked with a frown, "Huang Chan's useless son? What did he do?"
"There's news from Xiliang that Huang Yan used the excuse of collecting military rations to forcibly seize the surplus food from the people, and even injured many of them for this."
"The people were extremely angry and collectively wrote to the emperor to report Huang Yan's evil deeds. Now the letter is in the hands of the Grand Marshal and has not been delivered yet."
"Queen Mother, Huang Yan has ruined our plan. Should we ......"
At this point, the man named Zishang felt a cold gaze falling on him. He immediately shut his mouth and bowed silently.
"Don't call me Queen Mother here. I don't like it. Do you understand, Zishang?"
Wang Ziyin raised the corner of her mouth slightly. She picked up a hairpin on the table and slowly walked towards the young man. When she reached his side, she whispered in his ear:
"If there is a next time, I will use this hairpin to leave marks on your face. Do you understand?"
"It's... Ziyin."
"Huang Chan is a loyal dog of our Wang family. Although his son made mistakes, he did not kill or burn anyone. If he can annihilate the Hu people, then his merits and demerits can be considered to be offset."
"However... the power of the Yinglong Army cannot be placed entirely in Huang Chan's hands. Although he will temporarily obey our orders, we should be on guard against any future events, lest he become the next Ying Tianqian."
"Yes."
Zishang raised his head slowly, and then he saw Wang Ziyan threading her long hair with a hairpin, and then untying the ribbon on her robe with her hands.
"You, come here." Wang Ziyan hooked her fingers, motioning the man to come closer to her.
Zishang did not dare to hesitate. He walked forward and was then hugged by Wang Ziyan.
"Zi Shang, the Yandong region is becoming increasingly turbulent, and I'm afraid there may be riots at any time. What do you think I should do?" Wang Ziyan asked, stroking Zi Shang's face.
"Zishang thinks... since Chao State wants the Yandong area, then we should give this land to them..."
Wang Ziyin suddenly became angry when she heard this. She pinched Zishang's neck and said coldly: "Do you want me to become a sinner of Daying?"
"No, Ziyin... Zishang means that we must first stabilize the country before we can fight against foreign enemies. Right now, getting rid of Ying Xuanze is the most important thing. Otherwise, how can we deal with this big trouble in Chaoguo?"
Wang Ziyan was stunned. She grabbed Zishang's head and made him look into her eyes.
"Isn't Huang Chan's son supposed to get rid of Ying Xuanze? What? Don't you think he can succeed?"
Zi Shang stared at the scene intently. He said calmly, "If Huang Yan had the ability, would he have thought of such a stupid thing as robbing the people of their food?"
"Ziyin, don't underestimate Ying Xuanze. He is the only one who has achieved something after being banished to a remote place since ancient times."
"This kid must have other tricks up his sleeve, so we must be prepared for Huang Yan's failure. This is what you taught me..."
After hearing this, a hint of warmth gradually returned to Wang Ziyan's cold eyes.
She released her hand that was pinching Zishang's neck, and then grabbed Zishang and walked towards the bed with him.
"What a troublesome guy! If I had known earlier, I should have sent someone to kill him on his way back to Beijing!"
"Well, it's not too late to do it now. I'll cede the Yandong area to the Chao Kingdom as you said, and appease them first in exchange for some peace in Daying."
"If Huang Yan failed to kill Ying Xuanze, he would probably have died at his hands... In this case, Huang Chan would have taken his anger out on Ying Xuanze." Zishang suddenly said.
Wang Ziyan was slightly stunned, and then remembered what he had just said about diluting Huang Chan's military power.
If Huang Chan could get rid of Ying Xuanze, it would not only relieve her of a worry, but also weaken Huang Chan's strength. It would be a win-win situation.
Wang Ziyan let out a soft laugh, and she hugged Zishang and fell on the bed together.
"As expected of you, you are the man I like... As a reward, I will please you well."
As soon as she finished speaking, she untied the ribbon on Zishang's robe, and the two of them immediately got together...
