Chapter 694: Wendou
This sentence made Tuoba Xiongxin look at Xia Baying for a long time.
"You are indeed very smart, but I really don't know what you think." Tuoba Xiongxin glanced at Tuoba Hongyan who was standing in the wind outside the camp and said, "I believe Tuoba Hongyan thought so too. We are also very clear about what you did. You rely on the support of the general in Tuyuhun and the support of these Western Regions countries, but you should also understand why our Tuoba clan is different from other royal families."
"Because you have the same bloodline as the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Xia Baying laughed sarcastically, "I am bluntly speaking, the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty himself does not seem to be stable. Not to mention that you have the same bloodline, I am afraid that even brothers can stab each other when necessary."
Tuoba Xiongxin's eyebrows were a little deeper.
Xia Baying said lightly: "For travelers in the desert, the most precious thing is that they can drink water immediately, rather than the sweet springs a hundred miles away. What's more, the sweet springs a hundred miles away may have been poisoned by the enemy. Dangxiang is never the Northern Wei Dynasty. The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty will not think about how powerful Dangxiang is. Only the people of the Dangxiang themselves want Dangxiang to compete with the dynasties such as Central China."
After a pause, he said, "And everyone should care about the hungry wolf at the door of their house, not the lion thousands of miles away."
Tuoba Xiongxin's eyebrows and eyes were still moving, and there was no expression on his face.
Xia Baying laughed and said proudly: "Xialkang City will soon fall into my hands. Xifeng Hongqi has been defeated. At that time, not only the border between Dangxiang and the Southern Dynasties is in my hands. The life and death of Mi Qin and Fei Ting seems to be under my control."
"Then do you think we, Tuoba, will ignore you and let you turn the world upside down?" Tuoba Xiongxin smiled coldly.
"You don't have the ability to eat us in one bite, it's a tug-of-war."
Xia Baying looked as if she was right: "In this tug-of-war, the first thing you lost was the connection with Tuguhun and the borders of the Southern Dynasties. The Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei were fighting hard. As long as I wanted, I could open the borders with the Southern Dynasties at any time and let the Southern Dynasties army enter Dangxiang. I think the generals of the Southern Dynasties should also be happy to accept some Dangxiang fortresses. As for Tuguhun's loss, the border trade routes between you and the Northern Wei are completely under my control. Later, it is still unknown if you Tuoba clan wants to defeat me, but I am afraid that you will lose your position in the royal family in the first place."
"Shadowless!"
Before Tuoba Xiongxin could speak, a Tuoba general wearing black leather armor outside the camp sneered heavily, "Why should you Xiaba tribe fight with us? I'm afraid that in just one month, we can end the battle directly."
Xia Baying just smiled, and she didn't even look at the general of the Tuoba clan.
Her attitude made the general of the Tuoba clan feel deeply humiliated. A dull and angry voice sounded in his throat, but before the general spoke, Xia Baying sneered mercilessly, "What, do you still want to duel with me? No matter how bad I am, I am a practitioner of the Divine Thought Realm, what about you?"
The face of the Tuoba general instantly turned into a pig's liver, and his breath was held in his throat and could not come out. Indeed, the camel never had the right to roar at the lion, and no matter how he provoked it, it was a ridiculous sign.
But although he couldn't speak for a moment, Xia Baying's words made a noise outside the camp.
Tuoba Xiongxin waved his hand.
The sound of clamoring outside the tent disappeared suddenly.
"Whether it is war or rule, it requires not only force, but also enough wisdom and insight." He looked at everyone behind Xia Baying with a deep sense of meaning, and said: "A person is smart and ambitious enough to lead a group to prosperity, but the same person's stubbornness can also make this group quickly perish."
"I don't understand what you mean." Xia Baying said.
"I think you are asking questions knowingly." Tuoba Xiongxin reached out and pointed out the group of Tuoba people who had been clamoring for the most powerful thing outside the camp. "It is obvious that they all feel that although your Xiaba people have the ability to do business and make money to buy some flashy things, if most countries are involved in war, their money will burn wildly because of the war. Even the powerful have to consider whether their people can have enough food and whether their war horses have enough food and grass.
There will be no extra money to spend on the flashy things of your Xiaba tribe. In fact, whether it is the Southern Dynasties or the Northern Wei, their powerful families have the so-called background. Our royal families have all kinds of backgrounds, but the foundation of your Xiaba tribe is too shallow. Of course, I do not deny your ability to do business and fight within the clan, but war always depends on whether there is enough experience in the military division, whether there is enough powerful armies and powerful practitioners."
"The king of Tuguhun is probably thinking the same as you."
Xia Baying's eyes narrowed, and a strong sense of coldness flowed out from her eyes, "And what makes you think that our Xia Ba people have no so-called foundation? Is your so-called foundation just eating meat?"
Hearing the word "eating meat", many Tuoba people outside the camp immediately looked a little ugly.
"Eating meat cannot change the course of the war, but experience and knowledge can be done." A gentle voice sounded, "As far as I can tell, it seems that there is not even a decent Sutra Tower in the Xiaba tribe. Not to mention that the generals of the Xiaba tribe have not experienced much hardship of war, I am afraid that the practitioners taught have not had much experience in fighting with practitioners elsewhere."
"Is that true?"
This sound seemed to make Xia Baying interested. She turned around and saw that the sound was a priest of the Tuoba clan, a priest with long hair spread out and wearing a white sacrificial robe.
His face was very young, and he looked at a age of twenty-seven or eight years old. His white robe was covered with silver embroidered patterns of the sun, moon and stars.
"In fact, we have talked too much about fighting, killing, but we always talked too little about our knowledge." Tuoba Hongyan spoke at this time. He looked at Xia Baying and the young priest with great interest and said, "We might as well learn the literary battles of those countries in China and China."
"Wen Dou? It's fresh." Xia Baying was not ready to talk about it today, so of course she didn't care about anything in her heart at this time. It would be better that the more lively the matter was, the more chaotic the place, the better, so she laughed, "No matter what competition, it seems that we Xia Ba people have nothing to be afraid of."
"Then why not bet on a small town first?"
