Chapter 105 Xiao Pengtian's Intuition
The barbarians have no fixed residence all year round. They all live by water and grass and live a life of grazing.

Now let them find a place to settle down all at once, and let them farm land if they want to build a country, how can they get used to it.

Therefore, the people of Daxia are very important. Yelu Nanyan's idea is to ease the relationship between the people of Daxia and the barbarians, and then let the barbarians integrate into the farming culture of Daxia.

As a result, when the common people in Daxia heard that the barbarians were coming, they all ran away, so what's the use of leaving the barbarians to occupy this area of ​​Beijun?

Without the people of Daxia, is it possible to let them, who graze all the year round, farm the land?
They don't have any experience in farming good land. If they can't integrate into the farming culture, even if they occupy the land in Beijun, they will still have to go south to plunder in the future.

Going south to plunder will directly conflict with the core interests of Great Xia. Those vassal kings and aristocratic families who originally cooperated with the barbarians will inevitably unite and send a large army to the north. By that time, it is hard to say whether the barbarians can hold Beijun .

The barbarians are good at cavalry, and they have high mobility. If they attack the city, it is fine, but let them defend the city, but they have no experience at all.

This is very bad for them.

At this time, Xiao Hongbo was riding on a horse, standing on a high slope in the grassland, looking in the direction of Yancheng.

After a while, a cavalry in the distance was rapidly approaching their large army.

It was Xiao Pengtian and the others who came back.

Xiao Hongbo quickly turned his head to look at the army led by Xiao Pengtian. Xiao Pengtian came in front of Xiao Hongbo at this moment with a serious expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, the cities we went to are deserted, and most of the common people in Daxia have moved to the south."

"We captured a few common people in Daxia. According to them, the King of the North issued an order a long time ago to let all the common people move to the south. He will lead [-] soldiers from Beijun to fight us to the death in Yancheng."

Hearing this, Xiao Hongbo froze for a moment.

Immediately he asked in disbelief, "Northern King wants to fight us to the death in Yancheng?"

Although Xiao Hongbo had never met Bei Wang, he had heard about what kind of person Bei Wang was from Daxia's caravan.

After Beiwang came to Beijun, he spent time and wine in the palace every day, and never took care of Beijun.

Moreover, Bei Wang seems to be at most 17 years old this year. Although 17 years old is considered an adult in this era, most 17-year-olds are still children in the eyes of others.

In Xiao Hongbo's eyes, the Northern King was no exception. In his opinion, the Northern King was just a brat.

He always thought that as soon as the king of the north heard the news that he was going south, the yellow-mouthed boy would run away in fright.

Now Xiao Pengtian actually told him that the Northern King not only did not run away, but was waiting to fight him to the death in Yancheng.

How dare this trash dare to fight to the death with himself?

For the barbarian iron cavalry, thirty thousand soldiers are nothing more than a group of two-legged sheep with weapons.

Xiao Pengtian said at this time: "Your Majesty, all the people we caught said so. It is said that the imperial court issued an order to the Northern King to guard Beijun to the death and not allow him to escape."

Of course, the common people didn't know that the imperial court had issued an order to the King of the North to defend Beijun. These were all guessed by the common people themselves.

After all, the Northern King gave people the impression that he was a useless prince. He suddenly said that he would fight the barbarians in Beijun. city.

After hearing Xiao Pengtian's words, Xiao Hongbo laughed and said, "Hahahaha, yes, how could that yellow-mouthed kid dare to fight against this king's cavalry."

"Emperor Xia is planning to completely abandon him, a useless prince."

Xiao Hongbo accepted Xiao Pengtian's statement, and he also felt that it was the Great Xia court's death order to the Northern King not to retreat, so the Northern King had no choice but to bite the bullet and guard Yancheng.

To occupy the entire North County in a short period of time, one must go through the Wanning River Valley, and Yancheng is just below the Wanning River Valley, so they must capture Yancheng.

Perhaps in Daxia's view, the geographical location of Yancheng is relatively good, and letting the king of the north guard Yancheng can keep the barbarians in the north of Yancheng.

In fact, this idea is correct. If it was in the past, there is a high probability that the barbarians would not directly attack Yancheng.

Because in the past the barbarians mainly went south to grab food and women, other cities north of Yancheng could meet the needs of the barbarians.

In addition, in the past they were mainly cavalry and did not have the equipment to attack the city. It would be impossible to capture a city like Yancheng with tens of thousands of soldiers in a few months.

But this time is different, this time they are going to take the entire North County, and they have prepared the siege equipment from the beginning.

It is not difficult at all to capture Yancheng.

Then Xiao Hongbo said loudly: "Immediately send an order to go to Yancheng at the fastest speed. This king wants to capture that yellow-mouthed boy of the Northern King! You can't let him run away!"

After hearing Xiao Hongbo's words, the soldiers behind him immediately blew their horns.

At this time, Xiao Pengtian reminded: "Your Majesty, it's better to be careful. There are only [-] soldiers in Yancheng. How could the King of the North say that he will fight us to the death?"

"According to my subordinates, we should first send a vanguard force to investigate the situation, and then let the army go south."

Xiao Pengtian always felt that something was wrong, and this incident revealed strangeness everywhere.

If the King of the North really wanted to resist the barbarians going south, it would be impossible to withdraw all the defenses north of Yancheng.

Although the cities to the north of Yancheng are not as strong as the walls of Yancheng, it will take time for the barbarians to gnaw down those cities.

If the barbarians took the time to attack those cities, they would buy enough time for Yancheng.

In this way, some vassal kings in Daxia had time to dispatch troops to the north to assist the Northern King in resisting the barbarians.

Although the Great Xia court did not dare to send troops at will at this time, the Great Xia court would definitely let those vassal kings send troops, but the vassal kings sent troops more slowly.

It stands to reason that the longer Beijun delays, the more likely it is that the King of the North will defend Beijun.

Even if the king of the north doesn't understand anything, the soldiers around him should understand the importance of those cities in the north, right?

As a result, the king of the north withdrew all the soldiers and common people from those cities.

This made Xiao Pengtian smell the conspiracy.

Hearing Xiao Pengtian's words, Xiao Hongbo laughed loudly, and then said: "Oh my God, Xiao Pengtian, you are just too cautious."

"Do you know why you were not chosen as Sirius King by the elders? It is because you are too indecisive and not decisive enough to do things."

After the words were finished, Xiao Hongbo rode his horse and ran directly towards Yancheng, leaving Xiao Pengtian alone in place.

Looking at Xiao Hongbo's back, Xiao Pengtian just sighed.

For some reason, he always felt uneasy inside, as if something bad was about to happen.
