Chapter 129 Offering Advice
However, just when the Qinglong Legion was about to achieve a decisive victory, an accident occurred.

The Daqian army suddenly sent out an elite death squad. Armed with sharp blades, they quietly went behind the Qinglong Legion and launched a deadly sneak attack.

This sudden change plunged the Qinglong Legion into a brief period of chaos.

But the soldiers of the Qinglong Legion did not collapse because of this.

Under the unwavering command of Meng Zhang in the rear, the Qinglong Legion quickly adjusted its tactics and organized an effective counterattack.

Looking at the Azure Dragon Army advancing methodically towards the front of the Daqian Army on the battlefield in the distance,

A trace of heartache flashed across Meng Zhang's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

There are only so many people in the Azure Dragon Legion, and now that someone is dying, we can only recruit them from the Yellow Turban Army.

However, the quality of the Yellow Turban Army's soldiers made it difficult to train them.

But there is no way, an army must fight a few tough battles to prove its worth.

Meng Zhang has high expectations for the Qinglong Legion.

Therefore, the Qinglong Legion must grow up as quickly as possible.

Even if.
This growth was driven by heavy casualties.

While Daqian was fighting the Yellow Turban Army fiercely, Su Ye also ended his entanglement with the three princesses.

He began to summon several of his current advisers and began to prepare to find something to do for his friends and the foreign races in the northern grasslands.

Although Su Ye cannot directly send troops to help the foreign tribes on the grassland fight against Temujin.

But I want to cause him some trouble.

That would be too easy.

Su Ye sat on a tall carved sandalwood chair, his expression solemn and his eyes sharp.

Behind him hung a huge map of the territory, which was where Zhao Gao had his troops extend their net deep into the grassland.

It was drawn with great difficulty.

"Gentlemen, what do you think of the current situation on the grassland?"

Su Ye sat at the top, looking at Xun Yu and others below, and spoke slowly in a low and powerful voice.

"My lord, the man who unified the Xiongnu, Temujin, now has evil ambitions."

"From the intelligence we have collected so far, this man is a heroic leader with outstanding military talent and a strong will."

"Now that you have unified the Xiongnu tribes, you will not be satisfied so easily."

"Once they have finished their repairs, they will definitely launch another offensive against the remaining tribes."

Xun Yu, who was sitting in the first seat at the bottom, bowed slightly and analyzed to Su Ye.

"Therefore, we must find a way to curb the rise of Temujin."

"At least, we must not let it grow up before our Cangzhou is fully grown."

"Otherwise, with Temujin's wolf-like character, he will definitely go south to attack the pass!"

Xun Yu paused and spoke in a deep voice.

Although Temujin's rise has been short.

But except Su Ye, none of those present here has an IQ below 95, which is the level of a divine general or strategist.

There is only a little information about Temujin at present.

By checking each other's shortcomings and filling in the gaps, it is enough to infer Temujin's true character and ambition.

"That's right, my lord. We in Cangzhou cannot send troops directly at the moment."

“But war is not the only solution.”

"Although the grassland tribes are in internal strife, their combat effectiveness has not been damaged. If our army attacks rashly, we may be trapped in a protracted war and waste our strength in vain."

"In addition, the grassland is vast, and our army's deep penetration into it will make supply difficult and risky."

As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, Chen Qun followed closely.

After Su Ye heard this, there was no expression on his face, knowing that what Chen Qun said was true.

Even if no one reminded him, Cangzhou was currently unable to raise an army capable of expedition to the grassland. Even if there was one, Su Ye would not go.

He's not mentally ill.

He has always been the one who takes advantage of others, so how could he allow other ethnic groups on the grassland to take advantage of him?

"Then what do you gentlemen think should be done?"

Su Ye pondered for a moment and asked the people below him.

"Your Highness, Jia has a plan that will allow our army to gain the advantage of the grassland without sacrificing a single soldier."

Guo Jia, who was drunk, heard Su Ye's question and perhaps felt a little embarrassed to be in such a mess.

After all, Xun Yu, Chen Qun and others can still help handle government affairs.

But Guo Jia is different. He is a prodigal son with such a personality.

For him, staying in one place all the time to handle government affairs is simply the worst torture in the world.

Therefore, he did nothing during this period of time and spent the whole day listening to music in brothels.

"Oh? What do you think, Fengxiao? Tell me."

Seeing that this lazy guy finally wanted to work, Su Ye suddenly became interested.

“When wolves on the grassland are fighting, the smartest fox will hide in the distance and watch.”

"We in Cangzhou can make secret contact with the weak foreign races on the grasslands and exchange our weapons and armor for their war horses."

"Especially those ethnic minorities close to the present-day Mongolians."

"I guess they're happy to trade with us now."

Guo Jia smiled, raised the wine gourd that he always carried with him, took a sip, and slowly told his plan.

"The foreign tribes on the grasslands live on horses and regard them as their lives. Their war horses are strong and powerful, far superior to ours."

"And our Cangzhou is close to the north, and we need a large number of war horses to enhance the combat effectiveness of the cavalry."

"Through the trade, our army can not only obtain the war horses it needs, but also weaken the strength of the foreign tribes on the grassland. This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone."

Guo Jia raised the wine gourd that he always carried with him, took a sip, and continued.

After hearing this, Su Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, with a shrewd gleam in his eyes.

Since ancient times, weapons and armor have been the lifeline of the military. How could they be given to others easily?

But Guo Jia's next words forced him to reconsider.

"My lord, although the barbarians on the grassland are good at fighting, they are not good at making weapons and armor. What they need is exactly what we have in abundance."

"We can exchange old or redundant weapons and armor for their war horses."

"This way, we can not only enhance our army's combat capability, but also avoid unnecessary wars, and establish friendly trade relations with those weak and incapable foreign tribes on the grasslands. It can be said that we kill three birds with one stone."

Su Ye's eyes moved back and forth between the map and Guo Jia.

He stood up and paced around the conference room, weighing the pros and cons of this plan in his mind.

Xun Yu and others present also understood this tacitly. This move could not only avoid the risk of war, but also achieve the goal of weakening the enemy.

This is indeed a solution for Cangzhou today.

It can also greatly reduce the number of war horses on the grassland, which in turn will enrich the Cangzhou army.

Although Cang and Yun states also have several large horse farms.

But in ancient times, who would complain about having too many war horses?

"Just as you said, send envoys to contact the weak alien races on the grassland to discuss trade matters."

"At the same time, order the border troops to step up their vigilance to prevent the grassland foreigners from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."

After some consideration, Su Ye finally made up his mind.
