Chapter 164 I Am Very Interested in This Northern King

After hearing what Wu Yunwan said, Chai Jiliang said: "Since the eldest princess has said so, I can rest assured.

At this time, Wu Yunwan glanced at Chai Jiliang, and then continued: "I am very curious, why did Mr. Chai want my father to end the war? Could it be that Mr. Chai accepted Daxia's money?"

Chai Jiliang immediately replied: "Princess, the reason why I persuade your majesty to end the war is entirely because Dawu can no longer bear the consequences of the war."

"Nowadays, the people of Dawu are in dire straits. Dawu maintains an army of millions all year round, which means that there are fewer and fewer people farming in Dawu. If the war continues like this, it may trigger civil uprisings, and Dawu will soon Encountered widespread famine.”

"The common people are tired of war, and the soldiers are tired of war. No matter how much land they occupy, you can't see smiles on their faces. They only have numbness and exhaustion on their faces."

Hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Yunwan let out a clear laugh, "Master Chai is really concerned about the country and the people. It's no wonder that his hair is almost turning white. He is obviously not much older than me."

"However, I still advise Mr. Chai not to disobey my father. He can still tolerate you now. If Mr. Chai continues to oppose him, I am afraid it will not be as simple as depriving you of the position of prime minister."

"Since he ascended the throne, there have been five prime ministers, and none of them ended well. Mr. Chai must not follow in their footsteps.

Chai Jiliang bent down and bowed and said, "Thank you, Princess, for reminding me. I will pay attention to it in the future."

At this time, Wu Yunwan thought of the topic just now, so she continued: "What does Lord Chai think of the 50,000 heavy cavalry in the north of Daxia? Now many ministers in the court think that the 50,000 heavy cavalry belongs to Emperor Xia Private soldier, but judging from the information I have gathered, Emperor Xia seems to have always disliked King Bei, and his dislike stems from King Bei’s mother, so it doesn’t seem like he is pretending.”

"I don't believe that Emperor Xia would hand over such an important heavy cavalry to a son he doesn't like."

Hearing this question, Chai Jiliang pondered for a moment, and then said: "I also think that the appearance of these 50,000 heavy cavalry is a bit too sudden. Even if these 50,000 heavy cavalry are the private soldiers of Emperor Xia, when making 50,000 sets of heavy cavalry armor, It will definitely attract the attention of the major families in Daxia, but according to my understanding, before these 50,000 heavy cavalry appeared in Beijun, the families in Daxia were completely unaware of these 50,000 heavy cavalry. "

"And Beijun does not have the ability to make 50,000 sets of armor, not to mention that the King of Bei has only arrived in the fief for about a year. It is simply impossible to make 50,000 sets of heavy cavalry armor in such a short period of time. "

In Chai Jiliang's view, Emperor Xia's every move was monitored by the family. If he only built a few thousand sets of armor, the family might not know about it.

But the armor required to build 50,000 sets of heavy cavalry is different. This requires a lot of craftsmen and a lot of resources.

The aristocratic families of Daxia control Daxia's economic lifeline and control various resources of Daxia. It is impossible that Emperor Xia built 50,000 sets of heavy cavalry armors without them discovering it.

Even if it is not discovered directly, there will always be some clues.

But according to the intelligence collected by Dawu, the aristocratic families in Daxia had no idea that Emperor Xia still had a heavy cavalry force of 50,000 people.

After hearing what Chai Jiliang said, Wu Yunwan put the bamboo slips in her hands on the table, and then stood up directly. At this time, a breeze blew, and Wu Yunwan's purple dress kept flying in the wind.

Wu Yunwan asked thoughtfully: "So, Lord Chai also thinks that these 50,000 heavy cavalry are not the private soldiers of Emperor Xia, but the soldiers of the Northern King?"

Chai Jiliang replied: "I also don't think that these 50,000 heavy cavalry are the private soldiers of the Northern King. Emperor Xia's armor of heavy cavalry will be noticed by aristocratic families. It makes no sense that the 50,000 sets of heavy cavalry armor built by the Northern King will not be known at all." None, so I believe that the 50,000 heavy cavalry in the hands of the Northern King are likely to come from other dynasties."

Hearing what Chai Jiliang said, Wu Junwan said with a smile: "Master Chai's guess is quite interesting."

"But Master Chai, have you ever thought about how those 50,000 heavy cavalry arrived in the North if they came from other dynasties?"

"To the north of Beijun are the barbarians, to the southwest is Dayue, and to the east is the sea. No matter where these 50,000 heavy cavalry are heading to Beijun from, there is no way there will be no news at all."

Chai Jiliang said: "I have been thinking about this issue recently. According to my analysis, these 50,000 heavy cavalry are most likely to come from the north of Beidi."

"There are only barbarians in the North. No one in the major dynasties knows what is there in the north of the north. We have never explored it, so I suspect that there are other dynasties in the north of the north. It's just that we Don't know."

After hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Yunwan fell into deep thought. She murmured: "Is it north of Beidi..."

"This is a place worth paying attention to."

"The winter in the North is so cold that the barbarians can't stay any longer. I'm a little curious about what kind of race can survive in the north and even create a country."

"But having said that, since neither Mr. Chai nor I believe that these 50,000 heavy cavalry are controlled by Daxia, there is no need for Mr. Chai to worry that these 50,000 heavy cavalry will appear on the battlefield between Daxia and Dawu."

Chai Jiliang said: "Princess, although I don't think that these 50,000 heavy cavalry are completely controlled by Daxia, from the fact that these 50,000 heavy cavalry helped Beijun defeat the 300,000 barbarian army, the owner behind these 50,000 heavy cavalry is obviously biased towards Daxia, so I still think that these 50,000 heavy cavalry will appear on the battlefield, and the aristocratic families of Daxia will definitely find a way to send these 50,000 heavy cavalry to the battlefield."

At this time, a maid entered the palace. She walked straight to Wu Yunwan and whispered: "Princess, information from Daxia."

At this point, the maid handed the information in her hand to Wu Yunwan.

Wu Yunwan immediately took the information and took a serious look at it. Then Wu Yunwan smiled and said to Chai Jiliang: "Master Chai, now you don't have to worry about the 50,000 heavy cavalry appearing on the battlefield. People in this palace have sent news that the King of Northern Xian led an army of 200,000 to the south, and the King of Northern Xian still needs the 50,000 heavy cavalry to resist the army of the King of Northern Xian."

This...

Chai Jiliang was stunned.

He then asked in a suspicious tone: "Princess, why would the King of Northern Xian go south in winter?"

Wu Yunwan said lightly: "I don't know about this, but the Great Xia court has sent 20,000 cavalry with supplies to the north to support Beijun. This news has been confirmed by many parties."

Seeing Wu Yunwan said so, Chai Jiliang finally felt a little relieved.

Wu Yunwan said at this time: "But then again, I am very interested in this King of the North."

"He is obviously a waste in everyone's eyes, but he can get everyone's attention."

"As far as I know, in addition to these 50,000 heavy cavalry, someone from Xuanyue Palace also went to Beijun, and the one who went to Beijun was the Palace Master of Xuanyue Palace."

"If he didn't have any special value, the country behind these 50,000 heavy cavalry would not have sent 50,000 heavy cavalry to Beijun to help the King of the North resist the 300,000 barbarian army."

"It is even more impossible to let the Palace Master of Xuanyue Palace go there in person."

"I really want to know what kind of value he has."
