Chapter 130 Yelu Nanyan's Plan
After hearing the news about Wu Yuan, Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
At this time, when Xiao Wenyao thought that her uncle might have died in the battle, her body suddenly became weak and she sat down on the ground.
She had no feelings for her father, and her father also treated her as a tool and gave her to King Beixian, so she wouldn't be too sad even if her father died.
But she treats her uncle differently. Her uncle has always treated her well, and before setting off this time, he said that he would send her to Daxia once Beijun was conquered.
It's a pity that everything is in vain now.
Yerunan muttered in his mouth: "How could we be defeated... There shouldn't be many defenders in Beijun. Even if they can't be defeated, it's impossible for the king and the others to escape..."
After talking to himself to this point, Yelu Nanyan suddenly raised his head and stared directly at Wu Yuan, "Are you sure the news you heard is true?"
Wu Yuan continued to cry and said: "Princess, I not only heard about it, I also discovered that the soldiers of Daxia dug many large pits to bury corpses, and when I entered the city, I also discovered a large number of barbarians. The soldiers were tied up and sent to an unknown location."
Hearing Wu Yuan's words, Yelu Nanyan suddenly felt that his mind went blank.
If what Wu Yuan said is true, it will definitely be a huge disaster for the Sirius King tribe.
This time, most of the men who could fight in the Sirius King's tribe went south. The loss of so many men from the Sirius King's tribe was definitely a devastating blow to the entire tribe.
The Sirius King tribe suddenly lost so many men, and the food problem was solved a lot. But without men this winter, other tribes on the grassland will definitely take advantage of them.
Especially the tribe of King Beixian!
There was no harmony among the barbarians, and wars often broke out.
If the barbarians were harmonious, they would not be divided into several large tribes, and each tribe would even have its own royal court.
Although the North Xian King also lent tens of thousands of soldiers to the Sirius King tribe at the beginning, it seemed that the relationship between the two tribes was very good, but in fact it was because the Sirius King tribe promised to give them a lot of benefits. Only then did tens of thousands of soldiers arrive as a token token.
Now that the Sirius King is gone and the entire tribe has lost so many men, the North Xian King will not be polite to them. The North Xian King will probably directly lead his tribe to rob the Sirius King tribe of food or women.
If the North Xian King robs the Heavenly Wolf King tribe of all their food, the elderly and children of the Heavenly Wolf King tribe will starve to death this winter.
Maybe the Sirius King tribe will no longer exist by the beginning of next spring.
Yelu Nanyan was even more anxious at this time because once the North Xian King led his troops to rob the Tianlang King's tribe, he would probably capture her as well, and then make her the North Xian King's woman.
Yelu Nanyan naturally knew what kind of person King Beixian was. She did not want to go to the royal court of King Beixian.
Thinking of this, Yelu Nanyan quickly came to his senses. Now they must save themselves.
No matter what the conditions are, they must redeem the 100,000 barbarian soldiers in Beijun.
There may be soldiers from the North Xian King Tribe among those soldiers, but after all, there are 100,000 prisoners. Even if the soldiers from the North Xian King Tribe are still alive, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers from the Sirius King Tribe.
Moreover, Yelu Nanyan also planned to redeem only the soldiers of their Tianlang King tribe.
Yelu Nanyan came back to his senses and immediately said: "Convene a meeting of the tribe elders immediately!"
"Wu Yuan, please go down first. I will call you if anything happens."
Wu Yuan wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "Yes, Princess."
Yelu Nanyan glanced at Xiao Wenyao, who was sitting on the ground with lifeless eyes. She sighed and said, "Yaoyao, you should go out first."
Xiao Wenyao did not speak. She stood up slowly and left Yelu Nanyan's tent. At this time, Xiao Wenyao was neither crying nor fussing. There was no expression on her face or any light in her eyes. She was now like a walking zombie.
The news Wu Yuan brought back was such a shock to her that she has now forgotten her sadness.
Soon, the elders of the Sirius King tribe appeared in Yelu Nanyan's big tent.
At this time, the elders didn't know what happened. They just saw Wu Yuan leaving the princess's tent, and saw the princess calling them to discuss matters. They thought that the Sirius King had conquered the entire North County.
After the elders entered the princess's tent, they sat on the ground. At this time, an elder asked: "Princess, I don't know what you want from us. Could it be that the king has conquered Beijun?"
Yelu Nanyan's face turned a little pale. She sighed, and then said, "You must be mentally prepared for what I am going to say next."
Seeing that Yelu Nanyan did not answer the question, but said such a sentence, all the elders were stunned, and they suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.
At this time, another elder asked: "Princess, what happened? Just tell me!"
Yelu Nanyan then said: "The king was defeated, and 200,000 soldiers were killed, and 100,000 soldiers were captured by Beijun. The king also died at the gate of Yancheng."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue. All the elders in the tent were stunned and their minds went blank. They had the same reaction as Yelu Nanyan did when he heard the news for the first time.
They were unable and did not dare to believe what Yelu Nanyan said.
That's an army of 300,000 people!
And there are still 300,000 cavalry!
The most important thing is that they still have several grandmasters this time, and it is unknown how many ninth-grade warriors there are, and Beijun only has 30,000 soldiers.
How could they lose!
Even if they cannot capture Yancheng, their king will not die under Yancheng. The 300,000 barbarian cavalry have such a fast speed. If they want to escape, they can easily escape back to the royal court.
But now the princess told them that not only 200,000 barbarian soldiers died, but the remaining 100,000 barbarian soldiers were captured by the Daxia people!
How is this possible! ! !
Yelu Nanyan saw that they did not believe it, and knew that they did not dare to believe it, but this news was brought back by Wu Yuan, and they will be able to verify this news soon.
In fact, since the Heavenly Wolf King did not send anyone to send back the news for so long, Yelu Nanyan had a vague feeling of uneasiness in her heart, but she did not expect that the Heavenly Wolf King’s army would end up like this.
300,000 barbarian soldiers, no one walked out of Beijun!
What does this mean? It means that the Northern County was definitely prepared. The 300,000 troops led by the Heavenly Wolf King were probably surrounded, which made it impossible for them to escape. Otherwise, the 100,000 barbarian soldiers would not have surrendered and become prisoners of the Daxia people.
Yelu Nanyan couldn't figure out what went wrong.
At this time, two older elders heard the news from Yelu Nanyan and fainted.
The other elders came to their senses at this time and hurried to the two elders.
"High Priest, Second Elder, you have to hold on!"
"High Priest, are you okay?"
"Second Elder, wake up!!!"
...
Seeing the chaos in the tent, Yelu Nanyan did not stop them.
After an unknown period of time, the High Priest and the Second Elder woke up, and the two elders gradually began to accept this cruel news.
They knew very well that now was not the time to be sad, nor was it the time to pursue who was responsible.
Now the Sirius King's tribe has lost hundreds of thousands of men all of a sudden, and many tribes know where the Sirius King's court is located. Once those tribes know that their Sirius King has been killed and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are missing, they will definitely send people to rob them.
Especially the Northern Xian King in the north.
So the most important thing now is to move away immediately and not stay here any longer.
But it takes a lot of time to move the court, and since there are no strong men in their tribe now, it will take even longer. They are very worried that the news will leak out at this time and attract those tribes on the grassland in advance.
At this time, the high priest, supported by the elders, looked at Yelu Nanyan and asked, "Princess, has the news of the king's defeat been confirmed?"
Yelu Nanyan said, "Not yet, this is the news brought back by Wu Yuan from Beijun, but I will arrange someone to confirm it later."
"For now, let's just take this news as true."
The high priest thought for a while, then asked, "Princess, what should we do next?"
The elders did not blame Yelu Nanyan for this defeat. After all, these were 300,000 cavalrymen, and so many cavalrymen were defeated by Daxia. This could not be a woman's problem.
It stands to reason that even if they were trapped in the conspiracy of the Daxia Dynasty at the beginning, they would not be completely wiped out with 300,000 troops heading south. There must be other factors involved.
Those who can become elders of the Tianlang King Tribe are relatively flexible in mind, and they also know that now is not the time to pursue responsibility.
Yelu Nanyan pondered for a moment and said, "This matter must not be known to ordinary people in the tribe. Wait until the meeting is over, and you go out and tell the people in the tribe that the king has conquered Beijun, and ask them to pack up immediately, and we are going to Beijun."
Hearing what Yelu Nanyan said, the elders instantly understood why Yelu Nanyan did this.
If the people in the tribe were told about the defeat now, it would inevitably cause panic.
Panic is one thing, but the main risk is leakage.
If other tribes on the grassland know about their defeat, they will definitely seize this opportunity to attack them.
On the one hand, they told the people that the king had conquered Beijun, and on the other hand, they asked the people to prepare to move to Beijun. At that time, even if some tribes found out that they were going to move the royal court, they would probably be confused by their people and think that they really conquered Beijun and were going to move the royal court to Beijun.
But in fact, they were just changing a place.
Yelu Nanyan continued, "In addition, I will send Wu Yuan to Beijun to negotiate with the King of Beijun to see if we can use cattle and sheep to exchange our soldiers back."
"The tribe cannot be without strong men."
Hearing Yelu Nanyan's words, the elders fell silent. Now they could only do this.
At the same time.
Outside the tent.
Xiao Wenyao sat on a grass slope, quietly looking in the direction of Beijun.
At this time, Wu Yuan came to her side and said, "Princess, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you. I heard that General Xiao is not dead yet and is still imprisoned in Yancheng Prison."
Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao's eyes instantly brightened up. She immediately turned her head to look at Wu Yuan, then grabbed his collar and asked, "Wu Yuan, is everything you said true?"
"My uncle is not dead? He is really not dead? Right?"
Seeing Xiao Wenyao so excited, Wu Yuan sobbed and said, "Well, I heard that General Xiao was imprisoned and tortured every day."
"It's all my fault. If I had collected more information about Beijun, maybe General Xiao wouldn't be here today."
"I really deserve to die!"
After hearing Wu Yuan's words, Xiao Wenyao immediately let go of Wu Yuan's collar, and then murmured, "Great, my uncle is not dead!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Wenyao suddenly thought of something, and then continued to ask, "Wu Yuan, do you know what the King of the North likes? I want to exchange my uncle back!"
It is actually very common for the barbarians and Daxia to exchange prisoners. Since its establishment, Daxia has fought countless wars with the barbarians in the north.
Every time a war ends, Daxia and the barbarians will exchange prisoners. If one side has no prisoners, they will use resources to exchange.
For example, cattle and sheep, and for example, food, salt and iron.
If the barbarians want to exchange their people, they use horses, cattle and sheep, and if the Daxia court wants to exchange their soldiers, they use salt and iron.
Of course, even if Daxia exchanged their soldiers back, those soldiers would no longer be reused from now on. However, in order not to disappoint the people, the Daxia court would generally spend some resources to exchange their soldiers back.
It was because of the frequent exchange of prisoners that Yelu Nanyan thought of exchanging cattle and sheep for prisoners as soon as he learned that the Heavenly Wolf King was defeated.
And Xiao Wenyao also thought of using something to exchange her uncle back.
After hearing Xiao Wenyao's question, Wu Yuan sighed and then said: "Alas, Princess, as far as I know, the King of the North seems to like only one thing, that is, women."
"And the King of the North likes beautiful women. Only the princess and you in our tribe are the types that the King of the North likes."
Xiao Wenyao's brain was stunned, and the whole person was stunned.
After a while, Xiao Wenyao asked unwillingly: "Can't we use cattle and sheep to exchange my uncle?"
Wu Yuan said: "If it is just an ordinary soldier, the King of the North may allow us to exchange cattle and sheep, but General Xiao is a master-level strongman. If we let him go, the next Heavenly Wolf King may be him. Daxia will not let him go so easily unless they can take out something that makes them tempted."
After hearing Wu Yuan's words, Xiao Wenyao fell silent.
At this time, a barbarian soldier came to Wu Yuan, "Wu Yuan, the princess asked you to go over. She has a task for you."
Wu Yuan then said to Xiao Wenyao: "Your Highness, I will go to the princess first. Don't think too much. Don't have the idea of using yourself to exchange for General Xiao. The King of the North is a lustful man. If you go to Beijun, I don't know what kind of torture you will suffer."
