Five Hundred and Seventy-Seven: Horse Plague in Northern Xinjiang (4)

Huang Song thought about Jiang Pengji's character and said with a sad face, "Even if the three tribes in the northern border are watching, Liu Xi has a strange temper and does things unexpectedly. He was the county magistrate of Xiangyang County last year, but now he has occupied Fengyi County and does not care about the imperial edict at all."

If she wanted to attack Huang Song on a whim, Huang Song would really have no power to resist now.

Cheng Jing said, "The news that the second prince's wife An Yina died suddenly has spread to the three tribes in the northern border. The barbarians have coveted the Central Plains for a long time. At the latest in the spring of next year, when the horse grass is fertile, they will gather troops to attack Dongqing. Isn't Liu She's Chongzhou the first to bear the brunt of it?"

When the three tribes in the northern border attack Dongqing, Liu She cannot be avoided.

Now, I'm afraid Chongzhou has been actively preparing for war, ready to fight against the cavalry of the three tribes in the northern border, so how can they care about Huang Song?

Liu She is Liu Xi's father. If his father is in danger, Liu Xi may have to go bankrupt to resist the Northern Frontier Cavalry. In comparison, Huang Song does not have such great pressure from foreign enemies. Even though Huang Song developed later than Liu Xi, this gap is not irreparable.

Liu Xi and his son are tied up by the three tribes of Northern Frontier. Whether they win or lose, the price they pay cannot be small.

As one grows stronger and the other loses, it is still unknown who is stronger between Huang Song and Liu Xi.

Huang Song was a little depressed at first, but after Cheng Jing's analysis, he gained some confidence and regained his vitality. Feng Jue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Missing Yang Si before did cause Huang Song a big blow.

Now that Cheng Jing has come, it can be regarded as making up for the shortcoming.

Several others are also on their way. Huang Song also sent invitations to his relatives, and several talented people came one after another... When everything is on the right track, Huang Song's power will develop rapidly, and the Dongqing royal family will also be on the verge of death.

Huang Song and Cheng Jing talked for a long time, and they felt like they had known each other for a long time.

Cheng Jing said, "I heard that Huai Jie's second brother Feng Jin is under Liu Xi?"

Huang Song's nerves tensed, and Feng Jue frowned secretly.

Huang Song said, "Each serves his own master. Huai Jie is Huai Jie, and Feng Jin is Feng Jin. You Mo should not be suspicious."

Cheng Jing smiled and said, "Jing is not suspicious of Huai Jie, but I am worried that Liu Xi will lead his troops to Wanzhou in the spring of next year, and Shangyang County will fall without a fight."

If Shangyang County also surrendered, there would only be Chengde County left, and Liu Xi could easily take it.

Huang Song was surprised,

and he didn't react for a while.

"Why?"

Feng Jue figured it out, and the key was still with Feng Jin.

Cheng Jing explained, "The Feng family's ancestral home is in Shangyang County, which is now the Shangjing area. The Shangyang County Magistrate has a very good relationship with the Feng family. Feng Jin is the second son of the Feng family. With this relationship, Liu Xi has a strong army in his hands. It is hard to guarantee that the Feng family will not come forward to persuade..."

The Feng family is one of the four great families in Dongqing, and it is also the local snake in Shangyang County. The county magistrate has to live by their family's face.

The attitude of the Feng family can greatly affect the final fate of Shangyang County.

"If Shangyang County stubbornly defends the city, even if the city is finally broken, it can make Liu Xi bleed a little. If it falls without attack, this person's power will be preserved to the maximum extent." Cheng Jing smiled and said, "Jing is more inclined to Liu Xi to take advantage."

The noble family is used to judging the situation and doing things without leaking anything. When facing a strong army, it is natural to surrender.

Not to mention, Feng Jin is serving under Liu Xi. For the Feng family, the benefits of surrendering are far greater than resisting to the death.

Knowing that it is impossible to do something, but still wanting to do it, that is a brainless fool, definitely not a noble family.

Cheng Jing chose Huang Song not only because Huang Song is more in line with his temperament and closer to the image of a wise leader in his mind, but also because Liu Xi seems to be in a good position now, but in fact he is walking on a tightrope at high altitudes, and the slightest disturbance will lead to his downfall.

Are the three tribes in the northern border just for show?

The more prosperous Liu Xi is now, the greater the pressure he will face from the oppression of the three tribes in the northern border in the future.

In comparison, Huang Song is more in line with his expectations.

However, all this must be based on the fact that the three tribes in the northern border are indeed capable of going south.

Does the northern border have the ability to go south?

Wei Ci smiled but said nothing.

[In early November of the 20th year of Tianwu, there was a horse plague in the northern border, and war horses died suddenly due to the disease. Only one or two survived.]

I still remember that in the previous life, the three tribes in the northern border were sharpening their knives against the Central Plains, but because of a few blood-fighting stallions from the Shalan Kingdom, an unprecedented large-scale horse plague was triggered. Countless war horses died of the disease, and less than one or two survived. The cavalry's combat power was almost completely destroyed.

When the three tribes in the northern border recovered from the horse plague, the Central Plains was already in full swing, and several major princes were working together.

The three tribes in the northern border attacked Jiang Pengji's rear nest. Coincidentally, it was Qi Guanrang who stayed behind to watch the house, so the three tribes in the northern border did not take much advantage. When Jiang Pengji came back from the battle, he was furious and went to attack the northern border again with his weapons, temporarily escaping from the chaos in the Central Plains.

Oh, and then the northern border was stunned by Jiang Pengji's mad dog-like fighting style.

The current Majesty is more powerful than in the previous life. When she unifies the north, she can take the initiative to attack before the three tribes in the northern border can catch their breath.

There is a saying that goes, "When you are sick, we will kill you."

Thinking of the fertile horse farms and countless mineral deposits of the three tribes in the northern border, Wei Ci almost smiled.

Every time he saw Wei Ci smiling so much, Yang Si couldn't help but get goose bumps flying.

Elsewhere, Jiang Pengji almost exploded with anger.

She didn't have time to care about the horse plague in the northern border for the time being. She just wanted to know which bastard got her Dabai pregnant!

War horses are all castrated, how could Dabai get pregnant?

Could it be that the groom did something crazy?

"Stop licking, I'm asking about business."

Jiang Pengji raised her hand to smooth Dabai's horse mane, with a smile on her face. She turned her head and glared at the stableman who managed the stable.

Dabai rubbed Jiang Pengji's face innocently, and stretched out his tongue from time to time to lick her, with a heavy tone.

Jiang Pengji lost all her anger and let Dabai express his intimacy.

Since the last war, Jiang Pengji rarely took Dabai out for a walk. No wonder the little girl missed her so much.

She wanted to go out hunting today, get some game and have a barbecue and hot pot with her friends in the Government Affairs Office. The stableman pulled Dabai out, and she took a look and almost exploded. Dian Yin quickly pressed the stableman to the ground and waited for Jiang Pengji's decision.

The groom said tremblingly, "My lord, I don't know what happened."

Jiang Pengji's eyes moved to Dabai's belly, and she could already see that she was pregnant. She also felt a weak mental fluctuation in her body... She was clearly pregnant. But war horses were all castrated, and Dabai had extremely high requirements for her partner. There were stallions seeking love every spring, but they were all kicked away by the little girl. It's late autumn now, why is she pregnant?

Jiang Pengji reached out and touched Dabai's belly, and she could vaguely feel something.

Mammals are much more vigilant during pregnancy. Anyone who touches a mare's belly will be rewarded with a hoof. However, Dabai trusts Jiang Pengji very much, and his temper is still gentle... Well, it's limited to Jiang Pengji. For others, it's a proud queen disease. Whoever provokes it, it will kick.

"Are there any clean stallions in the stable?"

She rolled up her sleeves and planned to castrate the stallion herself.
