Chapter 998: Conquer Beimo

Although Mo Beihan was sent to the capital since he was a child, he would find time to secretly come to Northern Frontier to see his grandfather, and he had some understanding of the terrain around Northern Frontier.

He estimated the route and distance he and Ranran had taken from Beiguan City to Xuelian Peak, and roughly calculated other routes from Beiguan City to here, and said:

"Not far. We came out from the South Gate and walked through the territory of the Northern Frontier, so we took a detour. If we came out from the North Gate, it shouldn't be far to where we attacked the North Desert Army Camp last time. It's even closer than the distance from the North Gate City to the Snow Lotus Peak.

Qiao Ran understood and was very happy.

"That's good! I thought we could only climb over from Snow Lotus Peak!"

The mountain is too steep and not many people can climb it. If there is only that one shortcut, it will be difficult to mine the oil.

With excitement in her eyes, she looked at Mo Beihan:

"You said, if we turn the Northern Desert into the territory of Da Yue, can we solve the trouble of the frequent invasions by the Northern Desert barbarians and obtain the resources of the Northern Desert?"

Mo Beihan looked at her eager expression and nodded with a smile:

"Well, if we can conquer Beimo, Beimo will cease to exist. Beimo is a prefecture of Dai Viet. At the northernmost part of Beimo, there are continuous mountains that are higher than the Snow Lotus Peak, forming a natural barrier. Beimo and the several small countries over there are difficult to communicate with each other, so they can only communicate with Dai Viet. But they covet Dai Viet's beautiful rivers and mountains, so they have been eyeing Dai Viet covetously, thinking about annexing Dai Viet all the time, at least to recover the northern border."

Qiao Ran nodded and chuckled:

"It seems that the people of Beimo are indeed having a hard time. Since they want Dai Viet's resources so much, let them become Dai Viet people. If the two countries merge into one, won't the resources be integrated?"

Once the people of Beimo became Dai Yue people, they no longer had to think about fighting and killing all day long.

Anyway, Dai Viet has a vast territory and abundant resources, and the people of Beimo, who have become Dai Viet people, can trade with other provinces.

The resources of the Northern Desert can also be used by Dai Yue, and they can be mined in any way they want.

Qiao Ran thought her idea was great.

However, I don’t know if the stingy and suspicious old emperor will abandon the Dingbei Army after it takes over the Northern Desert, and instead of praising it, he will criticize it, or even try to get rid of this army that has been guarding the northern border defense line for Dai Viet for more than ten years.

In this case, everything she did to the Dingbei Army was not helping, but harming.

Seeing the changing expression on her face, Mo Beihan probably guessed what she was thinking and comforted her:

"Don't think too much about it now. Let's first find a way to bring this fierce fire oil back to the city and give it to grandfather. At least it will allow the Dingbei Army to more firmly defend the northern border and reduce the casualties of the soldiers. As for the future, it is not something we can consider now. We have to wait and see the situation in the capital before making a decision."

Qiao Ran nodded:

"Yes, you are right. Let's not think too much about it. Come, help me dig out more kerosene."

Although a lot of oil has accumulated in this pool, it can only hold a dozen barrels at most.

Qiao Ran knew that there was more oil underneath. If they dug the spring bigger, more oil would overflow to the surface.

So the two of them took protective measures, each with a shovel, and began to dig the precious oil diligently.

At this moment, the situation in the capital has become extremely tense.
