I really became a king.
Chapter 378: The Opportunity for the Re-emergence of the Korhan Cavalry
Chapter 378: The Opportunity for the Re-emergence of the Korhan Cavalry
"I wonder what the prince needs me to do?"
Hearing Qiu Wan's words, Jiang Yi tapped his fingers on the table again, but this time it was silent.
"Qiu Wan, if I want to meet all the tribal leaders of Korhan, can you summon them quietly?" After a long while, Jiang Yi spoke.
Qiu Wan thought for a while and replied: "With the help of Qiu Batu's family, I can safely convey the message to every tribal leader, but..."
He paused here before continuing, "But there is no guarantee that those leaders will come."
Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have something they can't refuse."
Something that could make all the Korhan leaders excited? Qiu Wan didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.
"But we must do it quietly and not alert the nobles in Xifan."
Hearing Jiang Yi's words, Qiu Wan shook his head and said, "It's impossible. The backgrounds of those tribal leaders are complicated and it's hard to keep it secret. I'm afraid it's impossible to hide it from the Xifan nobles."
Jiang Yi had thought of this a long time ago and sighed in his heart. It would be best and quickest if he could contact those Korhan leaders directly.
But the premise is that it is reliable. Otherwise, once the news is leaked, all previous efforts will be wasted, and it may even serve as a wedding dress for the Xifan Dynasty.
Seeing Jiang Yi hesitating, Qiu Wan thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Can the prince really make the Khorhan people rise again?"
Jiang Yi glanced at him and said, "I would never tell such a big lie that cannot be undone."
Looking at Jiang Yi's eyes, although Qiu Wan still had doubts in his heart, he chose to believe it.
After all, if such a huge lie cannot be realized in the end, it will be tantamount to deceiving all the Khorhan people. Not only will it not get the help of the Khorhan people, but it will make all the Khorhan people hate it.
Moreover, the Khorhan people are not so easy to deceive. However, he is very curious about what chips the Prince Yi has in his hand that makes him so confident that he can make the Khorhan people moved?
"The leaders of Khorkhan have been completely corrupted by the Xifan nobles and have willingly become Xifan's horse slaves. They have abandoned the glory that the Khorkhan people once had..."
Qiu Wan's eyes were somewhat sad, and then he looked at Jiang Yi again and said in a serious tone: "But they cannot represent all Korhan people.
I can gather the leaders of the new forces of the Korhan tribes for the prince, but the prerequisite is that the prince must come up with enough bargaining chips. "
The leader of the new forces? Jiang Yi asked, "Do they have such a strong appeal? What the king needs is not just a few Korhan people."
Qiu Wan understood what Jiang Yi meant, and knew that in order to take over the area on the map, he must have the support of a huge military force.
"Most of the leaders of Korhan have been completely corrupted. They should be separated from all the lower-level Korhan people and can no longer represent Korhan."
"On the contrary, the leaders of these new forces have great appeal among the lower classes of Korhan. As long as the prince can persuade them, it is not impossible to take over this place."
"However, these new forces are Korhan's last hope. Your Majesty must show enough chips to prove that they can help the Korhan people rise again. Otherwise, even if you kill me, I will not gather these people to make decisions for you."
Qiu Wan's tone was calm but firm.
As the heir of the Qiubatu family, he has already let down his ancestors by not being able to lead Korhan to rise again. Without absolute certainty, he will never let this force surface.
Jiang Yi looked at Qiu Wan and suddenly smiled.
From the beginning to the end, he did not place any hope on those Khorkhan leaders. These corrupt nobles had completely lost their bloodiness and bravery. They only had wealth and glory in their eyes and would never betray the Xifan Dynasty.
So he has been looking for another new force to replace these old nobles. The Qiubatu family has ruled Korhan for so many years, and its influence in Korhan is deeply rooted.
Even though he has fallen and lost all power, he must still have some hidden cards in his hand.
So Jiang Yi has been waiting, waiting for Qiu Wan to say it himself, and now he has waited.
These new forces hidden in the entire Korhan are the new forces he needs, and they will completely replace the old aristocratic leaders in the near future.
"Qiu Wan, I wonder if this bargaining chip is enough?"
Jiang Yi took out the torn animal skin he got from Huo Si and placed it on the table.
"What is this?" Qiu Wan frowned. He wanted the Korhan people to fight for their lives just because of a worn-out animal skin? It seemed too much of a stretch.
But he still reached out and picked up the animal skin fragment. After glancing at the contents on it, his expression changed and he held it in his palm and began to read it eagerly.
But he immediately revealed a trace of deep disappointment. The chip was indeed enough, but unfortunately it was incomplete and was only a defective version, so its value was greatly reduced.
It can even be said to be worthless, and it ultimately cannot bear the hope of Korhan's resurgence.
"If Your Majesty wants to drive the Khorhan people to fight with just this one fragment of a page, I'm afraid it's impossible..." Qiu Wan reluctantly put the fragment of animal skin back on the table.
Jiang Yi put away the torn pieces of animal skin, stood up and walked out. Qiu Wan was a little overwhelmed by this scene, but when he reached the door, Jiang Yi stopped.
Without looking back, he said, "Qiu Wan, this evening, I will be waiting for you in the 'Second Master's Mansion'. Then you will see the scene you want to see the most."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out of the room.
Only Qiu Wan was left there in a daze. What did that mean? Could it be that the other party had really grasped Korhan's lifeline?
Yes, what was recorded on that piece of animal skin was the hope of the entire Korhan. In the distant past, the reason why the Korhan cavalry became the most ferocious cavalry on the prairie was precisely because of what was recorded on that piece of animal skin.
What is recorded above is the blood inheritance of Korhan, which makes them born to be top-notch soldiers. As long as they ride on horseback, they are invincible, roaring across the entire prairie and making all enemies tremble with fear.
But thousands of years ago, the bloodline inheritance of Korhan was suddenly broken, and with the death of the last batch of Korhan cavalry, it was completely lost.
Since then, Korhan has become a lowly horse slave and was sold to various border dynasties, where he could only raise horses for his master for the rest of his life. And it seems that they are afraid that the Korhan people will reawaken their bloodline heritage, so they are strictly forbidden to ride on horses. If they violate this ban, their entire clan will be killed.
For thousands of years, the ambitious people of Khorhan have been practicing silently, hoping to reawaken their bloodline one day, but they have never succeeded. Gradually, most of the Khorhan people gave up, including the tribal leaders, who completely gave up the pride of Khorhan and became puppets of the Xifan nobles.
It is so sad that the Colehan cavalry, who once roared across the prairie on horseback, are now banned from riding on horseback for life.
After Jiang Yi left, Qiu Wan thought for a while and then walked out of the room.
At this time, the business of Chenxiangyuan was much worse, with only a few customers coming in.
This was also within Qiu Wan's expectations. After all, Prince Yi's Mansion controlled the power of life and death in the entire Demon Realm Pass, and all the people related to Prince Yi's Mansion would also benefit from it.
Moreover, she was the nominal Princess Duan, and together with Prince Yi's second sister-in-law, her influence was very important, important enough to force Chenxiangyuan to close down on its own.
"Come here, prepare some gifts. I will go to the Second Master's mansion to apologize to him tonight."
After giving a casual order, Qiu Wan walked into the room again, waiting for the evening to come.
Let’s talk about Jiang Yi. After changing his clothes several times, he came to a mansion in casual clothes.
Although this mansion does not cover a large area, it is built extremely luxuriously. However, the plaque above the gate made Jiang Yi shake his head repeatedly.
The three big characters "Er Ye Mansion" are engraved on the door plaque, which is enough to show the "arrogance" of the owner of this mansion.
Moreover, there are three mansions named after this in Demon Realm Pass. In addition to the one in front of you, there are also a "Third Master's Mansion" and a "Fifth Master's Mansion".
Seeing Jiang Yi appear, several guards at the door were about to step forward to greet him, but Jiang Yi waved his hand to stop them, pointed at the door plaque, and said with a smile:
"Your master is so arrogant. He is afraid that others don't know their identities."
Several guards laughed awkwardly, not daring to respond. But Fulong, who was standing behind him, laughed and said, "Simple and clear, easy to understand."
Jiang Yi shook his head and smiled, then asked, "There was a fire in the backyard, did your Second Master put it out?"
The guards could only continue to smile awkwardly. How should they respond? Could they just say that the Second Master was kneeling in the yard?
Jiang Yi waved his hand and walked straight in without informing anyone along the way.
However, the servants they met on the road all bowed hastily with an expression as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
When Jiang Yi approached the main courtyard, he saw a figure kneeling there dejectedly, mumbling some soft words begging for mercy, which caused the maids and passers-by who were passing by to hold their breath and lower their heads and hurried past.
Jiang Yi knew that his second brother would probably lose control of the family completely in the future, but since both sides are willing to fight and be beaten, he would not interfere.
"Why didn't you ask the third and fifth brothers to help you?"
Hearing Jiang Yi's voice, Jiang Zhongchi immediately stood up and said awkwardly: "How can we let them come..."
Jiang Yi nodded. In this situation, the third and fifth brothers should not appear, otherwise the scene of kneeling in the courtyard would not be performed. Both Jiang Zhongchi's biological mother and his wife Pei Yan had to be polite to them.
At this time, Jiang Zhongchi thought of something and shouted to the inside of the house: "Sixth brother is here, why don't you come out?" His voice was full of energy.
As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly closed door opened and Princess Rong and Pei Yan walked out.
"Hello, Aunt Rong." After all, they were of different generations, so Jiang Yi would not be impolite and bowed to Princess Rong first.
"Your Highness, please stand up quickly." Princess Rong turned sideways to avoid the salute.
"Hello, Sixth Uncle." Pei Yan then stepped forward and bowed slightly. Jiang Yi called her Second Sister-in-law and said with a smile, "It seems that it won't be long before I have another nephew."
"You brothers, let's talk. I'll go to the kitchen to make some arrangements." Princess Rong said with a smile, nodded to Jiang Yi, then turned and left.
The Princess Rong no longer had her previous unruly and domineering nature. It seemed that a change in environment could indeed change a person's mentality, but this was exactly what Jiang Yi wanted to see.
Little did she know that Princess Rong, who turned and walked away, couldn't help but gently stroke her chest. She was now a little afraid of Prince Yi, because every time she saw him, she couldn't help but think of Xiao Qi and his mother.
At the same time, she was secretly glad that if her son had not changed so quickly, she and her son would probably have ended up like Xiaoqi and his mother.
"Go and ask your eldest aunt to come over. It's been a while since our family has had a meal together. Also, ask your second and third uncles to come as well."
Jiang Yi gave a casual order, and his servant took the order and left.
"Why not let Sister Mi come as well? It will be more lively with more people." Pei Yan said.
Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "She doesn't like crowds, and she would feel uncomfortable if she came."
Pei Yan heard this, smiled and said yes, without saying anything else.
Jiang Yi sighed inwardly. Mi Qingqing basically never interacted with people from Prince Yi's Mansion, including her aunt Jiang Ning. He knew exactly what she was thinking. She was trying to avoid suspicion.
She was afraid that others would say that she had taken advantage of the opportunity to break into the house. After all, the real mistress of Prince Yi's mansion was not at home, and her identity was too sensitive.
At the same time, it also shows that Mi Qingqing is no different from the mistress of Prince Yi's Mansion.
"Also, please invite your Master Ning as well." After giving it some thought, Jiang Yi finally decided not to avoid the apple of the eye of old military leader Ning.
"Also, please invite the eldest master, the fourth master, and Chief Ning."
When Jiang Yi mentioned the three words "Chief Ning", he gritted his teeth. Ning Wuze had been like an ant on hot pan during this period of time. Whenever he saw him, he would call him "Uncle".
He knows exactly what's going on, so he might as well just be your uncle openly tonight.
