While the Wang Ting scout sent back a cover letter, Bei Rong's information was also sent to Wakhan Khan one by one.

The judge said: "The Royal Court's Fourth Army has just gone through a turmoil, and the military is unstable. The generals who took over the Fourth Army are still unable to convince the masses. Now Sudan is dead, and there is no regent to act as a government agent, and the Buddha's government is busy. As the birthday is approaching, missions from various countries and ordinary people flock to the holy city. The holy city is singing and dancing, and it is very lively. Presumably, the royal court is busy with this matter inside and outside, and has no intention of caring about other things."

Wakhan Khan pondered for a moment, and called his sons and Haidu Aling to analyze the situation.

Several sons also felt that now that Wang Ting had just experienced civil strife, and his defense was empty, it was a good time to attack them. As for the excuse for tearing up the covenant, just grabbing a group of herdsmen and killing them, there is a reason.

Only Jin Bo's complexion was a little strange.

Wakhan Khan sent away the other sons, leaving Jinbo, and asked, "What do you think?"

Seeing that there was no other person in the account, Jin Bo stepped forward two steps, piled up a smile, and said: "Father Khan, Wang Ting has a life-saving grace to me... One of their caravans saved me..."

Wakhan Khan rolled his eyes, "Idiot! How could everyone in the caravan have good skills? The person who saved you must have a good background. A Ling's assassination plan can be carried out at the same time, and their help is inevitable. Besides, this winter is extremely long. We must find a way to feed all the tribes, otherwise they will rebel again!"

Jinbo scratched his scalp: "But I promised to repay the court's kindness, Father Khan, I am your son, how can the descendants of Shenlang be unbelievable?"

Wakhan Khan’s eyelids twitched: “We are the wolf clan that grew up on horseback, plundering and conquering are the ways of survival for us to survive, kindness is kindness, resentment is grievance. In the face of foreign enemies, all covenants are just Temporarily dormant. Your promise to repay your kindness does not mean that Bei Rong will not sneak attack on the royal court."

Jin Bo looked blank: "Father Khan, didn't you always teach me to keep my promise?"

Wakhan Khan smiled: "Jimbo, when you are strong, you are qualified to keep your promises. We in Beirong only need to be strong and don’t need the virtues of dead people. Wait for you to defeat the royal court. Live your personal promise."

Jin Bo was dumbfounded: This is what Father Khan meant to keep his promise! Defeat the opponent first, and then forgive him kindly.

Wahan Khan looked at his younger son, who had never led the war alone, thought for a while, and said: "Your brothers will go out with me. Aling will bring three thousand people to launch a surprise attack. I will give you four thousand cavalry. Go and guard Shahai Road."

Jin Bo said disappointedly: "I also want to go out with my father sweat."

Wakhan Khan shook his head: "Since you owe a favor to the royal court, avoid this surprise attack. Be sure to guard the Sand Sea Road and don't be negligent. If the war goes unsuccessfully, I will lead the Chinese army to retreat from here."

Jin Bo was busy and respectful, and secretly said in his heart that he wondered if the caravan guard who had saved his life would go on the expedition.

If he sees the benefactor, he still has to keep his promise.

…

When the Northern Army marched, Bi Suo was also busy dispatching troops.

Fearing that the news would leak, let the Bei Rong people spy on their layout. After finishing his military affairs every day, he went to the martial arts field to compete with the warriors of other tribes as usual.

On this day, he had just finished the horse race with Mópido at the arrow track. The soldiers brought Yaoying's message and asked him to go outside the city.

He ignored his exhaustion, changed his clothes, and rushed outside the city.

At the beginning of the snow, the sky was as clear as a gem. In a valley with the leeward wind, dozens of carts wrapped in thick felt cloth were crowded and crushed on the snow. Private soldiers and caravans in leather jackets guarded them. The cloth pockets were being removed from the camel's back, and they were busy.

Yaoying had a light veil on her face and a lamb-sleeved robe with narrow sleeves. She was chic and beautiful. She stepped on the snow to greet her, her eyes fell on the person who was walking with Bi Suo, and she stopped talking.

This brown-eyed young man with braided hair and shawl was the one who won Bi Suo in the martial arts field that day.

Bi Suo said: "His name is Mopitor. Don't worry, the princess. He is someone Wang can trust. This time he is also on the list, otherwise I won't bring him over."

Yaoying nodded and motioned to the soldiers to continue to carry the goods. She had heard of this young prince. He had just made great contributions not long ago and is now one of Tamaraga's guards.

Mópido leaned forward, raised his hands flat, and greeted her, his movements looked a little funny.

Yaoying also gave a gift from the Ujili tribe, saying in the language of the Ujili tribe: "Long Yang Prince's name."

Mobido was taken aback for a moment, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Bi Suo was also a little surprised: "How can the princess know the etiquette of the Ujili Ministry and their language?"

Yaoying smiled and said, "Don't hide the general, when I was with Beirong slaves, I had learned the etiquette, customs and language of dozens of tribes and tribes."

In the Gobi Desert, people often travel for a hundred miles without seeing people. Every oasis deep in the desert may be a small state, with complex tribes and tribes. Each tribe has its own language, and she also knows how to learn nonsense. Learn the customs of different tribes. First, you can mix with the locals when you escape, and second, you can avoid accidentally offending which tribe.

Mobyduo looked straight at Yaoying and said, "The princess has learned very well."

Yaoying smiled, "I can only say a few simple greetings to make the prince laugh."

Bi Suo laughed: "How is the princess's Sanskrit learning?"

Talking about this Yaoying is a headache. Tamaraga asked how she had learned Sanskrit a few days ago. Prajna was so excited that she wished to teach her hundreds of Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures within a few days.

"The mage wants me to become a monk. Prajna holds a pile of scrolls and chases behind me every day, forcing me to study hard. I recently saw Prajna and took a detour."

Bi Suo paused, and a strange color flew across his eyes: "Want to become a princess as a monk?"

"The mage mentioned something..."

Yaoying nodded, realizing that Bi Suo looked weird and fixed his eyes on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Bi Suo's expression quickly returned to normal, shook his head, and said: "Wang has always been like this. When he sees people with wisdom roots, he wants to save him or become a monk."

After speaking, the soldiers untied the felt cloth of one of the carts. Bi Suo and Mo Pido stepped forward and found that the cart was full of dangling, full of black longbows and bundles of arrows.

Mopido picked up a longbow, tried to pull the bow, frowned, grabbed an arrow with his big hands, walked to an empty place, bent the bow to shoot the arrow, swished a few times, and the arrow was fierce. , Like a meteor rushing to the moon, every arrow hits an empty cart.

The soldier ran forward, and it took a long time to pull the arrow down, and there was a shout of applause.

Moppido showed no complacency on his face and handed the longbow to Bi Suo, saying, "This bow has a strength close to two stones and is very strong."

Bi Suo's eyes flickered, looking at Yaoying.

For marching battles, a bow with a crossbow strength is a strong bow. Usually, a crossbow is used to shoot the opponent's wall and arrow when attacking a city, and a seven-doub bow with a slightly smaller bow is used when shooting.

A bow close to two crossbow strength, and a range close to that of Wang Court's bow/ballista.

Yaoying faced Bi Suo's solemn gaze, and said: "The king's bow/ballista is powerful. When used to defend the city, it can block the Northern Rong cavalry. However, the ballista is heavy and inconvenient to move during battle. Defend the formation. Although these longbows are not as long as the range of the bow/ballista, they have strong pull and can be shot through three layers of armor in conjunction with the battle formation."

Bi Suo looked around for a week, and her heart trembled. If dozens of carts were filled with arrows, there might be tens of thousands of them in total!

"Where did these weapons come from?"

Yaoying replied, "I came from Beirong."

Bi Suo opened his mouth wide.

Yaoying explained: "Bei Rong has conquered many tribes over the years. Some people are unwilling to surrender to Bei Rong and go into exile. They have become desperadoes. A chief named Ale gathered the remnants and exiled warriors and formed a Mercenaries, as long as you give enough money and money, they will sell your lives for you."

"I hired Ale before and asked him to guard my caravan. When I came back from Gaochang, I asked him to take advantage of the Beirong civil strife to intercept Haidu Aling’s supplies. These weapons were from a defensive Beirong camp. Snatched from there."

One of the reasons why Haidu Aling had no chance of winning and chose to plead guilty directly was that his manpower in the dark was harassed by Chief Al all day, and he was exhausted.

Finally, Yaoying added: “Reassure the general, Chief Al’s things are neat and clean. The people of Beirong don’t know where these bows and arrows are going. They pretend to be a caravan carrying cloths, and there is no sound of leaks along the way. And even if the incident happened, it’s fine. No one knows that I made the order, and it will never cause trouble to the royal court."

Bi Suo looked at Yaoying, his mouth couldn't close for a long time.

On the way back from Gaochang, they encountered an ambush. Princess Wen Zhao didn't forget to hire the exiled tribe to weaken Haidu Aling?

Yaoying looked calm, and then said: "The archers of the Beirong people are well-trained. Each is equipped with three war horses. They can use short and long bows. Their short bows are suitable for long-distance combat. It can fight long distances, and the long range can reach 400 steps."

Bi Suo recovered from the shock and said, "Yes, the Beirong people grew up on horseback. Everyone has drawn bows and arrows since they were young. They have extremely strong arms. All of their archers can bend their bows while galloping. Arrow, once an attack is launched, hundreds of people can take down a camp."

He weighed the long bow in his hand, "The bow of the Beirong people looks ordinary, but it is strong and durable."

Yaoying said: "I have seen them make bows. They also have hyperbolic bows. The bow tires have been improved. The inner layer is boiled horns, and the outer layer is wrapped with boiled horn tendons. The bow tires are flexible and powerful. Sheep tendon can withstand a lot of tension, and most of the arrow shafts are made of birch. This kind of bow is not difficult to make. As long as all the materials are collected, both men and women can make it skillfully."

Bi Suo frowned, "It's not difficult to make...so their archers can be equipped with such weapons, and everyone can use them proficiently. Everyone is an archer."

The Beirong people are savage, but this savage tribe is powerful.

Mobido said to the side: "Since the princess said that the improved double-curved bow is not difficult to make, can you find a craftsman to make it?"

The bow/ballista is cumbersome to manufacture, and the materials are expensive. Several soldiers are required to cooperate in the operation. If it is damaged, it will be troublesome to repair. Only the important cities of the Wang Court are equipped with the ballista. Bows and arrows are simple to make and do not rely on craftsmen. Soldiers in the army can equip them. If they can be improved, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

Bi Suo shook his head and said: "We have known that the Bei Rong people have improved the hyperbolic bow, but it is not that simple to make exactly the same..."

Even if they now get the weapons of the Beirong people, it is impossible to imitate them in a short time.

Yaoying interrupted him and said, "My craftsman did it."

Bi Suo was startled and almost choked with his saliva.

Yaoying motioned to the soldiers to bring a stack of paper wrapped in silk cloth, and handed it to Bi Suo, saying: "I have mentioned the improved hyperbolic bow with the craftsman before. They have been trying to improve, and they have tried many times. Not as good as the Bei Rong people’s bows. They finally developed them not long ago. They just sent this batch of weapons. They have checked and compared them. The power is similar to the Bei Rong people’s hyperbolic bows, but the toughness is not strong enough. The advantage is that the materials are easy to use. Yes, it can be manufactured in large quantities."

"This is a drawing."

Bi Suo was overjoyed and said, "It's best to be able to manufacture in large quantities!"

The bow used by the army is not that the stronger the bow, the better. It is best to meet the needs of soldiers, be cheap and durable, and ensure that it can be equipped in large quantities.

He hesitated for a moment, and said: "These weapons and manufacturing drawings are all made by the princess, so the princess gave it to the royal court?"

Yaoying smiled and said, "As an ally, the enemy is now, of course, we must contribute to the royal court."

This kind of hyperbolic bow is not a rare weapon in the world. Facing the powerful enemy of Beirong, allies should unite as one, and the royal court has always been in business with the former Central Plains dynasty, and there is no conflict of interest between the two countries.

Bi Suo stared at her for a long time, took the silk cloth, and asked his subordinates to send someone to hand over the weapon.

After the soldiers had unloaded all the cargo, Yaoying and the soldiers walked aside to talk, explained a few things, and saddled on their horses.

Bi Suo and Mo Pido waited for her on the mountain road.

The three of them went side by side and walked out half a mile. Yaoying turned her head and looked at the long-departed carts in the distance. She sighed thoughtfully and said: "The Northern Rong cavalry not only rides and shoots superbly, but also closely cooperates. Launch fast attacks anytime and anywhere, and everyone is equipped with a few horses. Their horses are good horses with sufficient endurance. It would be better if Ale could help me grab a batch of horses..."

Bi Suo twitched his mouth, was silent for a while, shook his head and chuckled.

Mobido looked at him, "What is the general laughing at?"

Bi Suo glanced at Yaoying, moved away from her, and whispered: "I'm thinking, if Haidu Aling knows what Princess Wen Zhao has done in the past two years, she must have regretted her intestines."

Mobydo followed his gaze.

Princess Wen Zhao had a veil on her face, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but she knew only by looking at her bright eyes and figure that she was as bright as the rumors said.

People in the holy city look down on Ujiri. These days, Princess Wen Zhao is the first woman who did not laugh when he saluted him.

Mohito asked suddenly: "Is the rumors between the general, Princess Wen Zhao and the king true or false?"

Bi Suo smiled: "How can the rumors be taken seriously?"

After speaking, he jumped in his heart and looked at Mópido.

Mópido looked at him with a calm expression, with sharp sharpness on his young face.

Bi Suo frowned.

The three of them returned to the Wangsi Temple together. Yuanjue just walked out of the direction of Tallinn. When he saw Yaoying, his face changed and he coughed a few times and said, "The princess hasn't left the city today. Why did she come back so early?"

Yaoying looked up, the sky was full of sunset clouds, the setting sun was shining obliquely, and a layer of golden light floated on the high tower.

Did she come back early?

Yuanjue's face was reddish, and his eyes dodged.

Yaoying thought for a while, guessing that it might be someone who came from the temple. She had to avoid it and said: "I'm going back from the Xingtang."

There will be no outsiders.

Yuanjue didn't speak, his face was even redder.

After Yaoying and the soldiers turned and left, Bi Suo glanced at Fate and asked, "Who's here?"

Yuanjue let out a long sullen breath, and whispered: "Princess Manda of Tianzhu is here! People are in the hall, they haven't left yet."

Bi Suo frowned more tightly.
