Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 396 Missed Opportunity

"I know, if you can think of the problem, why can't I think of it?"

Facing the reminder from her personal guards, Princess Luojia's expression was exceptionally calm.

After pursing his lips, Luo Jia finally spoke with a bit of helplessness.

"But in comparison, would you rather have those tribes taken over by the Right Wise King, or have those compatriots be slaughtered by the Qin cavalry?"

"This……"

Following the Barbarian Princess's question, the guards behind her were slightly stunned and fell silent in an instant.

"Don't worry, I'm handing these people over to the Right Wise King personally today. I have the confidence to do so!"

Sensing the emotions of her guards, Princess Luojia quickly spoke again.

"Just get through this difficult time. Give me some time to gather my forces. I'll find a way to get these people back the way I handed them over!"

Having said that, Luo Jia swept a meaningful look across the room. Seeing that no one objected, he waved to his personal guards.

"Just do as I say. Time is urgent and there is no time to waste!"

"Yes!"

The guards who had resisted slightly before, faced with such urging, jumped on their horses without saying a word and galloped towards the depths of the grassland.

Just as Princess Luojia was looking at the other person's back and it completely disappeared at the end of her sight, a black dot came into her sight.

Xu Wei, who had been taught a lesson and turned beyond recognition, has suddenly returned.

Such an image naturally caught Princess Luojia's attention!

"What is going on?" Princess Luojia frowned slightly when she noticed Xu Wei's condition and asked immediately.

Zhaidake, who was standing beside him, immediately stepped forward and said without hiding anything: "Princess, I taught this bastard a lesson! This kid is still so evil. I asked for his opinion before, and he actually wanted to kill us!"

With some annoyance, Chaidake told Xu Wei everything about his previous response.

As he spoke, he was even more eager to fight. If Luo Jia had not been there, Xu Wei would have been beaten again.

After hearing the last part, Princess Luojia couldn't help showing some sympathy in her eyes, and waved at Chaidake with some helplessness.

"I'm going to be fair here. This time, I'm afraid you really misunderstood this kid!"

Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Luo Jia immediately began to explain, "According to Xu Wei's method, our people will definitely suffer heavy losses. This goes without saying!"

"But similarly, those people from Daqin will also pay a corresponding price. There will probably be very few of our people left in the end, but at least we can tear a piece of flesh from them!"

"Think carefully, the Qin Dynasty, relying on its large numbers, can now do whatever it wants on the Pasture Grassland!"

"But if their power weakens, and only one-third of their troops remain, they will no longer have the confidence to wreak havoc on the pastures!"

"How would you feel if you were to choose to trade your lives for the lives of the herders on the grasslands behind you?"

At the end of her words, the Barbarian Princess looked around with sharp eyes.

In her opinion, Xu Wei's method was indeed feasible.

After all, those tribes are the foundation of the grassland!

If it were really possible, we would even exchange the lives of nearly 10,000 people in Chadak for the safety of the entire grassland tribe.

Luo Jia will definitely not hesitate!

But faced with such questioning, Chadake's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He didn't care about his own sacrifice, but he was a little skeptical of the princess's affirmation.

A surrendered soldier from the Qin Dynasty must have something to hide. How could Princess encourage others to be more ambitious and destroy her own prestige?

"Princess, you're not really planning on doing this, are you?"

Having said that, Chai Dake did not forget to glare at Xu Wei fiercely.

I have already made plans in my mind.

If Luo Jia really agrees to this approach, even if he is destined to die in the end, he will definitely drag this guy to be buried with him!

Fortunately, after a moment of silence, Luo Jia slowly shook his head under the gaze of everyone.

In her opinion, the most appropriate time has been missed, and it is probably too late to use this method again!

"I'm just talking. After all, the situation now is different from that time!"

Luo Jia sighed deeply, a look of worry appearing on his face. "We've already suffered enough casualties before. In this situation, we can't afford to suffer any more losses!"

"Also, I've already sent my men to inform those tribes to migrate as soon as possible. As long as they obey my orders, even if there are losses, at least they will be within our tolerance!"

With the successive wars in the past, the military strength in the hands of the barbarians has been gradually weakening.

In Luojia's view, Zhaidake and the tens of thousands of troops under his command are a force that cannot be lost!

If these tens of thousands of people also died tragically on the battlefield, it would be even more difficult to sustain them by the beginning of next spring. How could they resist the fierce attack of the Qin Dynasty?

More importantly, in Luojia's opinion, the leader of the Qin army this time is Song Yuan!

This man is resourceful and a master of military strategy. I'm afraid he has already anticipated everything I can think of!

He had previously sent people to burn the food and grass in the border town, probably intending to make preparations in advance.

This little bastard might very well regard everything in front of him as a trap. If I really let him lead me by the nose, I will inevitably suffer huge losses in the end!

I have said before that the only way for this exchange to be worthwhile is that Daqin must also bear huge losses!

If in the end, only the barbarians suffer losses, then the loss will outweigh the gain!

After hearing what the princess said, the worried Zhaidake finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he pretended to be concerned and asked.

"So, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

"Send troops to inform the guards along the Peacock River and have them take their provisions and retreat to the border town immediately!"

"Let's rest here for a while. Tomorrow morning, you will lead your men out to collect the weeds around us!"

Although the largest forest around the border town had been burned by Song Yuan, there was still some grass growing around it!

If you spend some effort, you can collect some hay.

As long as they can use these resources to replenish the power of the war horses, everyone will still have the strength to fight.

Although this process is a bit long, judging from the current situation, Song Yuan still doesn't know how long he will spend on the horse-grazing grassland.

For the barbarians, there is enough time to wait.

Instead of thinking about dealing with others, it is better to strengthen yourself first.

Regain your energy and prepare for the next confrontation.
