Chapter 127

Lu Shaodong was so frightened that he almost fell off the stool, "Is the news accurate? What are they doing here at this time?"

The old lady sitting next to him is more stable than him. I don't know if it is fearless or more courageous than the general.

The soldier knelt on the ground, seeing the appearance of the two people, but he dared to say anything.

The old lady asked calmly: "Immediately send scouts to investigate, what is the purpose of their trip?"

"According to the reports from the scouts, the goals of the Turks are very clear, which are generals and food."

Lu Shaodong frowned, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Oh, is this general so powerful? Are you here specifically for this general?"

The soldier didn't dare to answer, so he could only laugh dryly.

Lu Shaodong also knew that his question was not up to par, so he changed the subject: "Let's go to the conference hall together."

Soon Lu Shaodong gathered all his staff and lieutenants to sit together in the large conference hall.

Lu Shaodong sat on the main seat and said: "According to the report from the spies, the Turkic attack is fierce this time."

One of the staff hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively said cautiously: "General, do you still remember that last winter, didn't you bring thousands of soldiers to defeat their [-] soldiers?"

"This matter...Of course the general remembers it, why? Could it be."

The soldier quickly said, "Yes, it's what the general guessed. They want to take the opportunity to seize our food, and then take the opportunity to occupy our territory."

"Is this unlikely? Although we have won the war, we have never occupied Turkic territory."

Hearing Lu Shaodong's words, everyone who sits wants to hate him, who wants the Turkic place where the birds don't shit.

A staff member heard the doubt in Lu Shaodong's tone, and quickly explained patiently.

"General, this is actually very easy to understand, because the reason why you won the battle was not because of your own strength, but with the support of the huge resources of our Great Yan Dynasty."

As long as one of them speaks, the rest have nothing to worry about, they just speak according to their own ideas.

"In the end, it was the reinforcements from the imperial court that finally drove the Turks out of the territory of our Great Yan Dynasty."

"You have hundreds of thousands of tons of food in your hands, while the Turkic tribes all have only a mere 20 people."

"If the Turkic tribal alliance fights recklessly with us, we will definitely suffer a loss, but the food and grass in your hands are enough for them to last for more than a year."

"You mean that the Turks want to rob us of food?" You said it earlier!

Since the Turks only need food, then the general should give them food.

"General, now we and the Turks are sworn enemies. They must snatch our food as soon as possible, otherwise they will never recover in the future."

Lu Shaodong fell silent, he thought it was such a serious matter!

"General, do you want to send someone to the Turkic border to check?"

Lu Shaodong shook his head, pondered for a while, and then said: "Send someone to deliver a letter to the Turkic people. Just say, if you want to negotiate with me, you should withdraw from the border first. If not, I will not consider giving food to the Turkic people."

After listening to Lu Shaodong's words, the staff all showed surprise and inconceivable expressions on their faces.

And the soldier kneeling on the ground nodded immediately and said: "Yes, the last general will do it."

After the man left, the huge meeting hall fell into contemplation, and the staff did not dare to vent their anger.

Isn't their general a fake general?

Want to surrender before the fight starts?
A year ago, they didn't have so much food on the southern border, let alone so many troops.

It hasn't been for a few months, and finally when the imperial reinforcements arrived, the Turks fled in embarrassment.

It was originally said to be good, to chase after it and annihilate the Turks in one fell swoop, but then it didn't know why.

In the end, their generals became, they were killing their wives in a few days, and then they were marrying their wives in a few days.

In this era, food has too much influence on war, and it can even change the whole world.

But these grains do not only play a role in wars. When wars happen, agriculture is often involved.

The severe damage to agriculture often leads to people losing their harvests, which will cause people to be displaced.

The Turkic people are all brave and good at fighting, and their strength is strong. It is naturally easy for them to occupy some weak countries around them.

But their Great Yan Dynasty was the most powerful country in this period, located in the center of the Five Kingdoms.

The resources are abundant, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. All of this is based on the fact that every war is won.

Neither Dongyi nor Xirong got any benefits, but they still wanted to harass the border of the Great Yan Dynasty.

They just want to grab some food and other things. There have been few large-scale wars in the past ten years or so.

Emperor Dayan was a wise emperor, and he didn't beat people to death at once, so as not to cause a crowd to attack him.

Now that the Turks are aggressively invading, this also shows that they have reached the end of their ropes, so they will take such actions.

"General, do you really want to make peace?"

Just when it was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground, a voice came from a corner of the conference hall.

Lu Shaodong raised his eyes and saw that he was one of the most capable lieutenants under his command.

"You don't agree?"

The lieutenant-general lowered his head and whispered back: "I just received the news that the Turks suddenly moved south in a big way, as if they were going to attack our territory."

"The general is not deaf. I heard it. Do you want me to repeat it?"

"But general, the Turks are here to invade our territory after all. They are so arrogant. If we don't give them some color, I'm afraid they will become even more arrogant in the future."

"That's right, the generals can fight as they want, anyway, no one can stop us now."

The staff became active again, and everyone tried to persuade Lu Shaodong with every word.

"General, the Turks are nothing to be afraid of. They just want to take this opportunity to discourage you."

"Why don't we take this opportunity and beat the shit out of them again."

"General, do we really want to cooperate with the Turks? This is a good thing for us, but it will not help the development of our dynasty. If we cooperate rashly, it may cause chaos in the court."

"General, we dare not disobey your order, but this matter is of great importance, please consider it carefully."

"The general knows." Lu Shaodong snorted coldly: "Turks think that they can compete with us with their small number of troops?"

"Yes, General, don't forget that you still have [-] elite soldiers by your side."

The lieutenant thought that their general was moved by what they said, and when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard their general chuckle.

"You don't have to worry about this. A peace negotiation is necessary. This general can make his own decisions."

"Then the general will resign first." The lieutenant resigned disheartened.

Lu Shaodong waved his hand to signal him to back down.
