Chapter 435 The Prince in Trouble
Prince Kangying's attitude was unclear. He wanted to contact the Han people in the south, but did not want to offend the Russians in the north.
Therefore, Prince Kangying did not care about Sukhbaru's little tricks, but today's situation almost implicated more than a hundred members of his family. How could he not be angry?
Even though he was the prince of the Outer Xiongnu, in the eyes of those Russians, if he didn't have an army of more than 10,000 people under his command, they would have attacked him long ago.
"Uncle, don't you understand? Those people treat us like slaves. They're just a small officer, and they dare to scold you loudly. They do whatever we say to our people and bully our women. Do you want to live like this?"
Sukhbaru was like an angry little lion. He had been unable to hold back these days. They knew very well how many disgusting things the Russians had done on this land.
But what can a high-ranking official of the Outer Xiongnu do?
If you endure, this position will still be yours, but if you don't, someone will soon replace you. Take Bogut just now for example, maybe he is the one who will replace us.
"Shut up right there! Don't you think the trouble you've caused is bad enough? Take him to the cellar and don't come out without my order."
Prince Kangying was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to deal with the matter. There was no need to ask about the current situation. What the Rakshasa said was true, otherwise they would not have come here so openly to demand people.
"Father, hand over Sukhbaru. This bastard killed us all."
Prince Kangying's eldest son came in from outside, looking exhausted.
Before he could finish his words, he was glared at by Prince Kangying. Does this person's brain start to grow from his butt?
"You idiot, do you know why I used Sukhbaru instead of you all these years? It's because he is smarter than you."
Prince Kangying said this angrily, but the eldest prince of the palace still didn’t know what he had done wrong. The Russians were blocking the door and wanted to take Sukhbaru away. Should we disobey?
From the time when the Outer Xiongnu gained independence to the present day, no royal palace has been able to confront the Russians. Even if they could gain the upper hand at the time, they would soon be defeated by them.
After being scolded by his father, the eldest prince finally understood that if he handed Sukhbaru over, these people would be in trouble. According to the Russians, the entire palace might rebel, and then it would not just be Sukhbaru who would be punished.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened. Li Shaoyi in the south has already marched towards the border. He's mobilizing a significant number of troops, at least tens of thousands."
Just when Prince Kangying didn't know how to respond, his butler ran in and had just received urgent news from the border area.
what?
Prince Kangying stood up suddenly. What he wished for came true. Finally, something happened to solve the dilemma of the prince's palace.
"Quickly bring the telegram and follow me to the Rakshasa camp."
Prince Kangying didn't know how to divert the attention of the Russians. After all, they were now keeping an eye on the palace. With this telegram, he could make them focus their attention on the Han people in the south.
Whether he wanted to send Sukhbaru away or establish a relationship with the Han people in the south, there would be a way to solve it as long as the Russians were not eyeing the palace.
Originally, these people came to capture Sukhbaru, but when Prince Kangying's telegram arrived, they immediately contacted their superiors, and the superiors contacted the Xiongnu spies in the interior, and it was just as they said, tens of thousands of troops had been stationed in Lianhot.
As soon as I speak, I will rush towards the outer Xiongnu...
When Colonel Ilderov received the telegram, he felt dizzy. Didn't our Deputy Chief of Staff go to the talks with them? Did the talks fail?
But even if they fail, they should have given us a message. We are at the forefront. If they cross the border, with the mechanized advancement capability of the 72nd Division, they will be in front of us in no time.
"Saddle my horse immediately. I want to go to headquarters."
Ilderov no longer cared about Sukhbaru at this moment. He had to get to the headquarters in the rear as soon as possible. It was still hundreds of miles away from here. Even if he set off overnight, he could not stop on the way.
"Colonel, then we..."
Prince Kangying looked anxious.
"Your Highness, the Sukhbaru incident may be a misunderstanding. It's our fault. I'm leaving this infantry regiment to you. You will follow the command of Commander Yuheldeto. Of course, you will still be the overall commander. He is only giving you some military advice. You must defend the border before our army arrives."
Ilderov's expression changed immediately.
Just now, he wanted to take away someone's nephew in a vicious way, and there was no room for turning back, and now he has to entrust the border to someone else.
Currently in the border area, in addition to Prince Kangying's 13,000 troops, there is only an infantry regiment of the Rakshasa people, plus some other idle troops, which together amount to no more than 2,000 people.
However, including Prince Kangying, no one thought that their more than 13,000 people were the main force.
They had clashed with the Rakshasa army before. At that time, the prince had more than 7,000 cavalrymen under his command, while the Rakshasa people had only about 1,000 people. However, in less than a few days, they forced those 7,000 cavalrymen to surrender. This was the confrontation between the modern army and the ancient grassland army.
Although Prince Kangying's army was also equipped with muskets, due to the lack of ammunition, many people did not fire many shots. If a real fight broke out, they would have to rely on the Russians, and they were just making up the numbers.
"Colonel, please hurry up! They're coming right at us. Our troops' combat effectiveness is limited..."
Prince Kangying did not continue speaking, and Ilderov understood.
The weakness of the Outer Xiongnu army was also the result of deliberate creation by the Russians. They only wanted to have some minions on this land to help them rule, but they never wanted these people to turn around and bite them.
Looking at the Russian army disappearing into the night, Prince Kangying breathed a sigh of relief. At least these people would not continue to target Sukhbaru. Now he had to send this little bastard away. If he lost this opportunity, these Russians would come looking for revenge after the war.
But where should I send them? There is definitely no good place on the grassland. Where are they among the Han people in the south?
