Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 551 Exclusive Privileges
Although the supply line on land is too long, it would be much simpler if the supplies were transported by sea and then supplied to the army.

In fact, Lu Hao is not planning to attack Zheng and Yue now. He just wants to study how to enter the two countries.

Only when you are safe inside can you fight against the outside!

Once the southwestern border of the empire is stabilized, the southeastern border can be dealt with according to the script and logically, and the problem of internal ethnic strife can also be completely resolved.

As for Liu Mu in the north, if he is really willing to accept his plan, then the empire will basically be pacified.

Only when there is internal stability, Lu Hao will start the war to dominate the mainland.

Of course, it is not easy to unify the mainland. It also requires the production and finalization of ironclad ships, equipped with rifles and cannons, in order to dominate the sea.

Only with a powerful navy can it be called a truly powerful country.

What originally worried Lu Hao the most was the tribes in the Far Eastern Prairie. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Once the empire was in civil strife, they might take the opportunity to make trouble.

However, the Far East Prairie seemed exceptionally quiet, with basically no tribes jumping out to rebel.

Of course, this was due to the Fourth Army of the Imperial Central Army led by Pei Yong, which now stationed troops in Liaoyang City, so that those tribes could not move.

After all, the prairie is not as dangerous as the mountainous area. The imperial cavalry can send them back to their hometown with a single charge.

Therefore, they did not dare to rebel at all.

"Your Majesty, General Liu, something bad has happened. Lieutenant General Jiang Li sent news that Qiang soldiers are madly attacking Xin Di Tuo!"

The member of the Meiyue tribe who was in charge of the communication came in and loudly reported the report.

"What? Attack Cindy?"

Lu Hao's face darkened and he looked at Xin Di Tuo on the map.

"How many Qiang soldiers attacked Xindituo? Who led them? What are the specific casualties now? Do we need to send reinforcements?"

Liu Ruxu asked in a deep voice.

"It is said to be Hals, the son of the leader of the Qiang tribe. There are about 1 people. No casualties were reported, and no support was requested."

The Meiyue clan members responded.

"Okay, we understand. You go down, pay close attention to Xin Di Tuo's situation, and report to this general at any time."

Liu Ruxu nodded slightly, indicating that he could go out.

"Your Majesty, now the old patriarch's son is attacking Xin Di Tuo. Should we detain the old patriarch and intimidate his son?"

Liu Ruxu asked.

"No, let him go and let him go back to suppress his son."

Lu Hao stared at the map, a sinister smile flashed across his face.

"The emperor smiles so evilly, does he have another bad idea?"

Liu Ruxu pursed her lips and smiled.

"Bad idea? Well...there is indeed a bad idea. General Liu must have not forgotten our bet, right?"

Lu Hao asked seriously.

"Of course not, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Liu Ruxu asked.

"It's very simple. My health is not good. I would like to ask General Liu to give me a squeeze on my legs and a pat on my back tonight. Isn't it too much?"

Lu Hao said with a sly smile.

What about pinching the legs?What slap on the back?

This bad guy must be trying to catch my attention!

Do you want me to sleep with you?

When Liu Ruxu thought of this, her face turned red with embarrassment. She glared at Lu Hao fiercely and turned away. "Hey, hey, hey... do you agree or not? Just tell me! What does it mean if you leave? How can you cheat on me if you lose the bet?"

Lu Hao shouted from behind.

If you want to cheat, cheat. I am a woman, cheating is my exclusive privilege.

Liu Ruxu had long seen through this bastard's tricks and didn't want to deal with this big pervert.

……

The leader of the Qiang tribe originally had 100 elite troops, but unfortunately, after being attacked by General Jiang Li on three dozen military camps, there are now less than [-] left.

The remaining more than 100 people escaped with the clan leader.

The leader of the Qiang tribe currently has no army. Although he has a high prestige, it is still unknown whether his son will listen to him.

After all, his son now has more than 1 people.

Discourse power and military power are equal and complementary to each other.

The leader of the Qiang tribe left Negese with a treaty of unanimous submission. Instead of going directly to find his son, he went to other cities to gather the remaining troops.

In this case, it is estimated that it will be delayed for a few more days. Whether Xin Di Tuo's General Jiang Li can withstand the enemy's attack is still unknown.

Fortunately, Sindituo is also a solid city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are a lot of defensive equipment on the city wall, which are just in use now.

However, Hals, the young leader of the Qiang tribe, used the oldest siege method. He set up a ladder and rushed upward, without even a decent attack on the city.

The huge rocks and wood on the city wall, as well as the bows and arrows, became a nightmare for the Qiang warriors.

General Jiang Li strictly followed Liu Ruxu's orders and tried to save ammunition. He used the previous defense equipment first and then the rifle.

Fortunately, they still have some explosive packs. After lighting them, they can throw them directly into the Qiang people and blow up a large area in an instant.

This kind of powerful weapon scared the Qiang soldiers from gathering too much, which was more conducive to defending the city.

This siege lasted for half a day, leaving more than 3000 corpses on the ground.

About a hundred soldiers of the Chinese Empire were injured, mostly by arrows. Fortunately, everyone had prepared shields, otherwise, the casualties would definitely be more than this.

However, it was simply impossible for them to capture Sindituo.

In fact, what General Jiang Li is worried about is that if the Qiang people in the city rise up to resist, it will be very troublesome.

However, the siege battle lasted for a long time, and all the Qiang people were hiding at home. No one was willing to come out to rebel, or to cooperate inside and outside.

The young leader of the Qiang tribe went completely crazy after losing many troops and generals.

He immediately sent people to other cities controlled by the Qiang people and asked them to send troops for reinforcements.

However, the old leader of the Qiang tribe had already gone to other cities and regained military power in several places.

The two sides ceased fighting and rested, officially entering a stalemate stage.

The Yi and Miao people were frightened to death when they learned that the central army of the empire had marched in and captured the Qiang people's holy land and the clan leader's lair.

After all, the Qiang tribe is the strongest and most populous among the three tribes. If they are not opponents of the empire, then they may die even more miserably.

The current plan is to send envoys to Negese to find peace talks with General Liu.

After Lu Hao took a bath and changed clothes in the City Lord's Mansion, he walked into his room.

Suddenly, he found a little girl sitting next to the bed, wearing a close-fitting dress as thin as a gauze.

What's happening here?
Lu Hao was a little confused and looked up and down at this Qiang girl.

"Your Majesty, it is true that the general has lost the bet. However, the general has been working day and night and cannot spare the time to help the emperor rub his shoulders and back. Therefore, a local girl has been arranged to serve the emperor in his stead."

Liu Ruxu stood prettyly at the door with a wicked smile on her face.
