Chapter 260
Zhao Tingduo was stunned at first, a little surprised that the prince interfered with the courtier's relationship with his wife, and this courtier was still a cousin.

Father is getting old, and he wants to go back to Beijing to see his first wife, why can't he see his son well?
On the other side, Zhao Tinglei's face turned dark when he heard that the prince broke up his husband and wife: "What are you talking about, what does it have to do with husband and wife!"

Zhao Tingduo was completely a reckless boy at this time, he slapped the table and said loudly: "I understand, this is asking the sister-in-law and the child to be hostages!"

Seeing that the third brother said it bluntly, Zhao Tinglei nodded helplessly: "Only in this way can a military officer with a heavy army in his hand be trusted by Beijing.

Father is currently stationed in Weicheng, putting pressure on Beijing with heavy troops just in case.

When the crown prince came to power, the father would disarm and return to the field. "

When the new emperor came to the throne, Zhao Tinglei took control of the northern army in Yunzhou Town. In order to prevent his relatives from interfering with the government and leaving the power behind, his wife and children had to return to Beijing as hostages, and Zhao Yanjiao also had to hand over the military power.

"Alas! Father should also take care of himself!"

Zhao Tingduo's expression was a little gloomy. Now that his father was gone and Auntie was in the grassland, it was very difficult for them to get together.

Although this ending was doomed since he moved his account and left Xiashiguan last year, Zhao Tingduo still felt sorry for him.

He remembered that when he was a child, his father and his mother rode horses and laughed happily in the grassland, and at night they ate hand-caught mutton and drank milk wine in the tent.

If it weren't for their own positions, A Niang and her father would also be a couple of immortals.

These are all gossips, Zhao Tinglei called Zhao Tingduo hundreds of miles away, definitely not talking about his wife, concubine and children.

He handed over the few pieces of paper he had read just now: "Third brother, this is the information sent back by the grassland informant, it is beneficial to you!"

The content of the letter really made Zhao Tingduo's face terrified, and his breath became short of breath: "It's finally possible to take revenge!"

After finishing speaking, he showed embarrassment again: "Brother, the crown prince told his father that there should be no further incidents! What do you think... what should we do?"

Zhao Tinglei stared at his third brother with piercing eyes: "Now that my father is not in Hecheng, you can do whatever you want, but the opportunity is right in front of you. By next year, the Donglun Department will definitely be swallowed up by others."

Zhao Tingduo's heart beat like a drum.

The letter stated that the Eastern Lun Tribe, which was originally the second most powerful in the royal court of Dilu, was ambushed by the Wuda tribe last winter and lost a hundred riders. The leader Abuli returned with injuries, and civil strife began in the tribe.

Several elders expressed dissatisfaction with Abuli and wanted to choose another leader, but Abuli did not have dead prestige, so they reluctantly suppressed it.

In May, he participated in the westward plunder of the Wu Dynasty and suffered another loss under the encirclement and suppression of the Zhenbei Army.

Now the tribe has split into three branches, of which Abuli is going to bring nearly a thousand of his relatives, and the slave tribe has moved from the previous winter pasture to the Mida Valley.

The Mida River Valley is hundreds of miles long, and there are hillside trees on both sides to shelter from the cold wind, so that cattle and sheep will not freeze to death. The riverside is rich in water and grass, and many tribes gather here every winter.

Now Abli wants to come too...

Zhao Tingduo's eyes turned cold.

Last winter, I intentionally released Abuli back to the tribe, just to split the East Lun Division.

On the grassland, the wolf pack is the most united. If the wolf king is killed directly, a new wolf king will be born without fighting, and there will be hatred.

Only when the wolf king is still alive and loses his prestige is the beginning of the wolves' infighting.

Abu Li was defeated by himself and fled back, so he lost the value of the leader, and civil strife naturally occurred. If he was killed at that time, it would attract revenge from the East Lun Department.

Now, it was sent to him.

Zhao Tingduo smiled: "Thank you, brother, for the news."

The corners of Zhao Tinglei's lips rose, and before he could express his brother's concern, he heard Zhao Tingduo say: "Big brother, can you borrow another thousand soldiers to help third brother?"

The smile suddenly froze on Zhao Tinglei's face.

In the past, when the third younger brother came here, he either wanted his own sword or bow, but now he actually wants a thousand soldiers!
Zhao Tinglei gritted his teeth and said, "Just now you were saying that the crown prince and father want you not to cause trouble, let alone use the Zhenbei army, you have to figure out a way yourself."

Zhao Tingduo quickly folded the letter paper and stuffed it into his arms: "Since the eldest brother has given me the news, it is only logical to borrow the army."

"No!" Zhao Tinglei flatly refused, he had just taken over the military power, and if he could not do the first military order, he would violate the prince.

Zhao Tingduo was not annoyed either, he took a sip of the cold tea soup, frowned slightly and said: "I am not borrowing for nothing, as long as I borrow as many soldiers as I borrow, I will give as many war horses as I want."

Zhao Tinglei had long coveted the Dilu Grassland, which was no smaller than the Wu Dynasty.

It's just that although Dilu Royal Court is not a country, it can respond to everyone in the grassland and can easily mobilize all tribe members.

On the vast grasslands, the Di clan tribes were erratic, chasing and fleeing, the Wu Dynasty army had no advantage, and if they were besieged by all the tribes, they couldn't even provide logistical supplies, and they would be dragged to death if they didn't fight.

Unless they are all replaced by horses.

As long as there are [-] cavalry, Zhao Tinglei can come and go across the Dilu grassland.

Brothers, you look at me, I look at you, staring at each other, no one wants to say that sentence.

After a while, Zhao Tinglei finally spoke first: "Third Brother, your sister-in-law is about to leave for Beijing, and she has prepared tea and meals for you all these years, why don't you stay in the Garrison Mansion for a few days first?
Tianhecheng Port City is also about to open these days, so you might as well take a look at the prices of leather goods this year. "

How to arrange the borrowing of soldiers, he still needs to discuss with his staff!

Zhao Tingduo nodded: "That's fine, just stay for a few days."

Waiting for him to live in the side courtyard prepared for him by the Garrison Mansion.

Always accompanying Zhao Tingduo, Abu, who was as silent as an iron tower, first chased away a group of handmaids who brought water Napa with a black face, and wanted to rush up to undress and serve the maids, and then closed the courtyard door, and he just guarded outside.

There was no one else in the room, so Zhao Tingduo relaxed.

From the age of 15, every time he came to Hecheng, the virtuous sister-in-law would arrange for him to sleep with a maid, and his father and elder brother also acquiesced.

Zhao Tingduo shook his head. The Wu Dynasty wanted wives and concubines in groups, but there was a saying on the grassland: The wolf king can lead the group to become stronger with only one partner.

Those rams who only know how to eat grass with their heads down are promiscuous!
Zhao Tingduo took off his shoes and got on the kang, and took out a topographic map of the Mida River Valley from his arms.

This is what the elder brother gave himself.

The eldest brother wants to go against the wishes of the prince and father to raise troops, and wants to use himself, so he can also use his strength!

Blood debts can only be paid in blood!
Zhao Tingduo clenched his fists and let out a breath!

If there is a dispute on the grassland, it must be bloody and brutal.

On September [-]th, Song Liyun and the houses of several families were about to start construction.

The groundbreaking ceremony in Suijin Town was lively and grand.

Mrs. Yun brought Yuquan who had changed her attire, Chuntao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Yang Hua who came to help.

Song Liyun bought half a pig with money, potatoes and cucumbers collected from various families, and a few women prepared to make several big pots full of vegetables.

The craftsmen who came to work immediately dug soil and laid bricks after eating a sincere meal.

Han Ming, the head housekeeper of Baolinju, has another errand, and takes over the task of supervising the work.
