Chapter 144: Rebuilding the Horde(1/2)
"I have not made any promises to King Dongyi yet. You have just repelled the Longshan Army. Even if I let King Dongyi go back, I'm afraid he is not as brave as he is." Nangong Lie said.
The Longshan Army just retreated and did not come back. With the current strength of the Dongyi tribe, there is no defensive ability at all.
If you go to restore the tribe, without Nangong Lie's support, it will not be possible if you just Dongyi tribe.
"If King Dongyi wants to rebuild his tribe, he has to rely on our Qingshan Empire. Without us as a backer, will they be destroyed by the Longshan Empire after they rebuilt?" Wang Bin said speechlessly.
At this point, King Dongyi still couldn't understand the situation.
Now the Longshan Empire and the Wild Mountain Empire have begun to fight against the Qingshan Empire. Both sides have fought for so long, and there is no need for the Dongyi Tribe, a buffer zone.
How difficult is it to rebuild?
The Qingshan Empire would not allow the people of the Dongyi tribe to go back, otherwise why would Nangong Lie try his best to teach them how to farm?
Isn’t it just that I want to absorb these people from the Dongyi tribe into the Qingshan Empire to enrich the population on the eastern border?
Not to mention the number of people from the entire Dongyi tribe gathered, and there were more than 200,000 people. Since this force has been received in the city, how could there be any reason to put it back?
Besides, the Longshan Empire was unwilling to see the reconstruction of the Dongyi Tribe.
"Yes, the Dongyi tribe needs to be rebuilt, and it is necessary to support our border army. But at this time we are going to war with the Longshan Empire, so how can we have the leisure to help them? It would be fine if the Dongyi people were willing to stay in the city. If they don't want to go out and meet the Longshan army, they would be self-destruction." Nangong Lie said.
Tedar wants to rebuild the tribe, and he is now responsible for the energy to support it. Moreover, the court's intention is not clear, so he does not want to make this decision for the time being.
"Go to meet this King of Dongyi, soothe his emotions, and tell him that now is not the time to rebuild the tribe." Nangong Lie explained to Wang Bin.
Wang Bin once stationed troops in Dongyi, and the relationship between the King and King of Dongyi was closer and relatively easy to talk to.
Hearing Nangong Lie's orders, Wang Bin could only smile bitterly. He actually threw such a stall to him for handling, and he really could pick people.
There is no way. Wang Bin, in general, was considered a benefactor of the Dongyi tribe. He saved them from the fire and fire several times. He went to appease Tedaer, which was more suitable than others.
"I will go to King Dongyi at this time and first give up his idea of rebuilding the tribe." Wang Bin said.
...
...
The Xicheng District of the border town is an area specially divided by Nangong Lie for the Dongyi tribe to live in.
Of course, the residence of King Dongyi is also here. After Wang Bin passed it through the popular saying, he could easily see King Dongyi.
Compared to a few months ago, the Dongyi King's complexion was a bit worse.
The territory has been gone, and his complexion is almost the same, at least it means that he, as a king, is competent and is still worried about the tribe.
"What wind blows General Wang today? It really shines in another humble house, hahahaha..." Seeing Wang Bin, Tedar's eyes lit up and he quickly got up to greet him.
This great benefactor of Dongyi cannot be neglected. Tedar also wanted to ask Wang Bin for help and say something nice to Nangong Lie.
"King Dongyi hasn't seen each other for several months and has lost weight. Are you still used to living in the city?" Wang Bin asked.
"Habit is a habit, but the tribe was captured by the Longshan Army. I was always worried. I heard that General Wang had just returned from the Central Region and led his troops to repel the Longshan Army. He really used his troops like a god!"
Tedar stretched out his thumb, and he was convinced that Wang Bin's ability to lead troops to fight.
If Wang Bin hadn't gone to the Central Region to participate in the Five-Domain Competition, the Longhuang Alliance would not have found a chance to attack, and his tribe would not have been captured.
"I dare not take it as if I were a god. It was just a surprise. Long Bo, the fourth prince of the Longshan Empire, and Hong Yu, the captain of Longshan Tower, all came back with me. I only returned to the army earlier than them."
Wang Bin said modestly: "Although the Longshan Army camp was burned and Long Bo retreated from the Dongyi territory, I dare not pursue the general forces of the Longhuang Alliance wherever the total force is placed."
"The enemy's 200,000 elite troops, it's not that easy to win. Fortunately, General Wang, you are back, we can finally take the initiative and no longer have to hide in the city and passively defend." King Dongyi said with a reluctant smile.
Wang Bin said just now, subconsciously told him that the chassis of the Dongyi Tribe had been taken back, but the Longshan Army was still eyeing him, and the land was not completely taken back.
Tedar understood Wang Bin’s hint, so he said what he said just now.
What does proactive attack mean?
Attack means that Qingshan Army will fight out and there is no need to hide in this border town to fight defensive battles.
If the Qingshan Army really takes an offensive posture, then their Dongyi's chassis will be under the protection of Wang Bin, and then he can start preparing for the reconstruction of the tribe.
Both of them talked very ordinary, but secretly expressed their meaning to each other.
Wang Bin means that the territory is unstable and needs to be watched, while Tedar means that whenever your Qingshan Army attacks, that territory will be stable. As long as the territory is stable, the Dongyi King will naturally return to his old place.
"The attack must be attacked, but now our eastern border army has only 100,000 people. The frontal field battle cannot defeat the Longshan army. The soldiers under my general can only cooperate with each other and advance slowly." Wang Bin said.
"Oh, in this way, it's difficult for me to go back to my hometown to see it." Tedal sighed.
"That's not the case. The Dongyi tribe has warriors who can join us to fight back the invading Longhuang coalition. The Dongyi King just wanted to see the old place, and there was no problem at all." Wang Bin said with a smile.
"It seems that I have to do this. Unfortunately, the old general Batu fell ill. No one could lead my Dongyi warriors to fight with the general. General Wanwang should not blame him." A trace of unnaturalness appeared on Tedar's face and was quickly covered up.
"It's a pity. Otherwise, letting the warriors under the command of King Dongyi to regain the tribe's territory by themselves will become a beautiful story." Wang Bin was happy. King Dongyi wanted to preserve his strength now and was unwilling to send troops to help.
I used a very bad reason: Batu, the general in charge of the army, was sick...
Can't you lead troops to fight when you are sick?
Wang Bin knew the considerations of King Dongyi, but it was not convenient to say that he was not very good at Dongyi's military strength, especially after the emergence of the Qingdao Camp, Wang Bin's vision improved accordingly. Not a person, but any army could enter his observation range.
"It's a pity that the veteran general Batu failed to catch up with the general's night attack plan." Tedal shook his head and sighed.
If he had known earlier that Wang Bin was leading troops to fight, he would not have let Batu pretend to be sick. After all, they had never lost to fight with Wang Bin.
"I happened to go back to the city today to report the military situation on the front line to General Nangong. When I learned that King Dongyi was also in the city, I came here to see it. Since nothing happened, I will go back to the front line first and prepare to fight against the Longshan Army."
Wang Bin did not speak out directly, but the few words he said just now had already explained his thoughts and position.
Whether the King of Dongyi wants to listen to him depends on how they choose. Now we are still in the relationship between allies. Although the King of Dongyi is a little down, Wang Bin will still take care of his opinions.
If you really want to rebuild, then rebuild it. If you are destroyed by the Longshan Army or the Wushan Army, you can't blame him for it.
In short, the war is not over, and Wang Bin will not support Tedar to rebuild the tribe.
...
...
After Wang Bin left, a person came out of the living room of King Dongyi. Who would it be if it weren't Batu?
At this time, Batu was full of energy and was very energetic. How could he look seriously ill? What Tedar said to Wang Bin just now was just an excuse to preserve the military power of the Dongyi tribe.
"General Batu, you heard it too. Do you think Wang Bin will support us?" asked Tedar.
At this moment, only Batu could trust.
In other words, at this point, the veteran Batu is the one who is in the same mind as him.
"Your Majesty, General Wang should not stop us. If you want to support us, you should not." Batu sighed.
Today is different from the past. Their Dongyi has lost its geographical role. The two giants, Longshan Empire and Qingshan Empire, no longer need their small tribe as a buffer. They have started a war directly. Is it necessary for their Dongyi to exist?
Fortunately, the Qingshan Empire did not want the Longshan Empire to be so domineering and easy to kill. Before they were destroyed, the Qingshan Army escorted them to this border town.
Not to mention, the Qingshan Empire is rich and powerful. The construction of this border town is not only solid but also very large. The houses and lofts inside are also very reasonable. If it were not for the task of rebuilding the tribe, Tedar might think that living in this city is actually very good.
"Without the support of the Qingshan Army, how likely is our success in rebuilding the tribe?" asked Tedar.
"King, I'm afraid most of the civilians are unwilling to go back now. Life on the Qingshan Empire is so comfortable, and it's still on the border..."
Batu said helplessly: "If it weren't for the help of Qingshan Army, your people would probably not be willing to return to the tribe. Without the backing of Qingshan Empire, the Longshan Empire would just send an elite force to destroy us again!"
There is a long way to go to rebuild a tribe!
Batu felt heavy pressure. In order to repay the appreciation and trust of the previous kings and Tedar, he could only lead troops to support Tedar's choice unconditionally.
"It's hard. Judging from the current situation, we will seize the opportunity to rebuild the tribe. Once the war between the Longshan Empire and the Qingshan Empire is over, we Dongyi will have no chance to rebuild it." Tedar said.
He also knew that Nangong Lie did not support him in rebuilding his tribe, and in fact, the Qingshan Empire also wanted to annex them.
However, the people of the Qingshan Empire are more subtle and have a gentle approach, not like the Longshan Empire. If you don’t accept it, you will be defeated and you will be overbearing.
A style like the Longshan Empire can easily arouse the same hatred of the enemy. However, when you are in trouble, you will prepare a house for you, allocate land for you, and teach you how to farm and harvest it well.
Over time, I feel embarrassed to leave after receiving too much favor.
"The King is right. From now on, the news of the reconstruction of the tribe will be announced in the city to make everyone mentally prepared, otherwise it will be difficult for the civilians to accept it suddenly." Batu suggested.
"Well, I'll trouble General Batu for these things. I can't come forward in person to prevent Nangong Lie from turning against us. Now our tribe still needs to rely on the protection of the Qingshan Army." Tedar was not stupid either. He knew that his identity was special and he could not come forward for some things.
But with Batu, he could rest assured that this veteran was almost a veteran of the three dynasties. From his grandfather, he was the general in the army. When he arrived at him, he became the general of the entire Dongyi and commanded all the warriors.
"Don't worry, the old minister knows what to do, but Nangong Lie still needs to talk about it later. He is the city lord, so he will let us leave the city at that time." Batu said.
"But what if Nangong Lie doesn't let us leave the city?" Tedar suddenly thought that if the Qingshan Empire made up his mind to annex them, then their entire Dongyi tribe is in this border town and they will not be able to talk about it at that time.
"Yes, this possibility cannot be ruled out..." Batu also thought to himself that he was wrong, but they had not considered this yet.
If the Qingshan Empire turns its back on its back, wouldn’t it be that it would be impossible to catch a turtle in a jar and run away?
"No, the plan should start immediately. While Wang Bin wins the battle, the city can be freely in and out of the city, and arrange our people out of the city as soon as possible."
Tedal was shocked by one of his own ideas and felt that it was more reliable immediately.
"Okay, why not transfer a small part first? Don't attract the attention of the Qingshan Border Army. Prince, you have to look for Nangong Lie more and pester him. Don't let his attention be on us." Batu said.
"Okay, our monarch and ministers act separately. We must rebuild the tribe and rebuild our own home!" Tedar said excitedly.
"Rebuild the tribe and rebuild the home!" Batu's unscathed heart was actually stirred up by a tidal's words.
To be continued...
