Chapter 1214 Chapter 1214: A famous teacher (Part 2) [Asking for monthly votes]
The messenger lowered his eyes humbly and respectfully, not daring to look directly at Shen Tang.
Unable to judge happiness or anger from the other person's expression, she felt even more uneasy, playing a rhythmless drumbeat up and down.
Before she decided to seek help from Kang Guo, her country's knowledge of Shen Tang mostly came from hearsay among the people and information given by allies. The content was mixed, both bad and bad, and the envoy's initial impression of Shen Tang also originated from this. But later, I accidentally found a calligraphy book based on Shen Tang from a merchant, and from the many words, I glimpsed an image that was completely different from the initial impression.
Gu Chi, who was accompanying the envoy to receive the envoy, suddenly raised his eyes.
Seeing that no one noticed him, he silently lowered his head back.
The messenger's heart continued to roll forward like a wheel, with not only sounds but images, and the lines also had cadences.
【A position of power is a great tonic for eternal youth and longevity! This is true for men, and even more so for women. The female monarch is of natural beauty and beauty, and she obeyed Wu Zhaode in exchange for many years of pampering. But if you are willing to follow Gu today, what he can give you is Gu Neng! What he can't give, even Gu can give! Could it be that the nourishment I received from Wu Zhaode’s side was different from the nourishment I received from the heroine alone? 】
The pretty lady was angry at her for being frivolous and rude.
道: [ fallacy and heresy. 】
The king, who looked lustful and slutty, held the queen's chin, and with a little skill, she forced her to look directly into his eyes: "How is this a fallacy?" The ladies around dignitaries are all graceful and wealthy. Isn't this temperament nourished by their men's power? Both are power. How is the nourishing effect different between the power in the hands of a woman and the power given by a man? If the female monarch follows Gu, Gu will not only nourish you with his power, but also let you share Gu's power, double nourishment and double maintenance. 】
Gu Chi’s face was expressionless, but he was amazed in his heart.
Hey guys, this is still a book of grinding stories.
The leader of a country and the heroine of the novel share the world. This tonic can indeed nourish people to eternal youth. Although the scene of sharing the world with a canary is outrageous, it is commendable that the author was able to catch the master's rogue temperament to death.
Gu Chi thought that was enough.
As a result, the content of the messenger's voice took a turn for the worse.
A large, unharmonious picture hit Gu Chi head-on.
“Cough cough cough—”
He coughed violently.
Everyone, including the messenger, turned their attention.
Gu Chi's reaction ability is not limited. He immediately pinched his throat and said in a deliberately hoarse voice: "Please forgive me, my lord. I suffered from the cold yesterday because of the cold. My throat is not very comfortable this morning..."
Shen Tang: “…”
Her eyes asked Gu Chi what he was doing.
What makes your throat feel uncomfortable?
Does Gu Chi still remember that he would open the mic with people passionately today, speaking in a clear accent, and having a loud voice that could almost go over the palace wall and be heard by everyone in the morning market? The 70- or 80-year-old veteran was already sad that a younger member of his family had gone astray. He was so sprayed that he broke his guard on the spot and wished he could commit suicide!
Even Shen Tang couldn't bear to see it.
Now Gu Chi says that his voice is hoarse?
Haha, don’t you hear some weird thoughts?
Shen Tang was unsure of what the envoy was thinking and was worried about affecting the overall situation, so he turned over and over to check the origin of the confidential letter and secretly chatted with Gu Chi. Make a judgment based on what the messenger really thinks.
Gu Chi: “…”
Don’t ask, really don’t ask.
He felt like he was going to succumb.
No matter how beautiful the plot is, once one of the protagonists is a boss who squeezes his work every day, it will be more destructive than copying the Heart-Cleaning Mantra 10,000 times. This messenger also had the courage to be distracted and recall the story on such an occasion.
Gu Chi could only speak vaguely: "Nothing, even though the origin of this messenger is interesting, he is still a supporter of the Lord." She was originally a female official in the inner court and did not have the opportunity to go on an mission originally, but it was rumored that the Lord was very fond of beautiful women, so she came. 】
Sending female officials instead of other officials was a subtle way of trying to please Shen Tang. Shen Tang knew this, but he didn't expect that the envoy was still his supporter and his attitude was a little more friendly.
Gu Chi: 【…】
How can I not be considered a fan if I love watching the same people as the Lord?
Shen Tang pretended to be serious and put down the confidential letter: "The content of this letter is detailed and does not seem to be a disguise, but because it is too real, I still have a question - how did you get it? How can it be so confidential that it can make people simple?" Single success?"
The messenger was told to tell the truth before he came.
She confessed the details without hesitation.
This confidential letter was originally in the hands of the powerful minister of Qi State. The powerful minister's palace was heavily guarded second only to the royal palace. Naturally, it would not be leaked easily. However, there are exceptions to everything. I don’t know which brave warrior stole it and auctioned it outside!
“Auction?”
The messenger was hesitant and unclear about this part.
It’s not that she deliberately concealed it, it’s that she didn’t know either. When she came, the king personally explained to her that there was such a place where there were no taboos. He also said that Shen Tang, as the head of a country, had probably been in contact with her before, so it was enough for both parties to have a good understanding.
There are some things that don’t need to be exposed to the world.
Shen Tang did not continue to embarrass the envoy.
Members of the Society of Gods have always been lawless, and there are no taboos in playing power and manipulating changes. They exchange interests with each other on this platform, any interest is fine, living or dead, including this kind of confidential information. As long as someone has the ability to create it, if someone dares to buy it, someone will dare to sell it! The northwest branch is the territory of praying for good, and the Kangguo side is relatively stable.
The Southwest Branch is relatively free.
Shen Tang skipped this topic and went straight to the core.
“Is the news true?”
The envoy recalled the anxious look of the king who was almost in tears, and said frankly: "When the king of our country got it, he sent people to mark the locations to investigate. Those places were not only heavily guarded, but also had prototypes of fortresses and granaries. superior."
This group of people was almost discovered. In the end, he was able to escape by chance by setting off a fire to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Several close officials in the court originally doubted the authenticity of the letter, feeling that someone was secretly stirring up dissension. They speculated that it was a conspiracy to disintegrate the Southwest Alliance from within and drag them into a jealous melee! When the evidence comes out, everyone is silent.
Qi Guo really wants to kill himself!
Can this be tolerated?
However, after thinking about it carefully, they discovered that none of the southwest countries could save them. Those who were capable would not take the risk, and those who were not capable would be beaten together. In the end, we can only turn our attention to areas outside the southwest continent.
There is absolutely no chance of the central continent. Countries on the route of dispatching troops cannot make way for reinforcements, for fear of another fake attack on Guo. After all the math, there is only one qualified rescuer!
Shen Tang asked: "Seriously?"
“Seriously!”
The messenger had an ominous premonition in his heart.
She could tell that Lord Shen was not interested in this matter. For Kang State, which now owns the entire northwest continent, the attachment of a small country is not only of no benefit, but also a burden and a mere name. According to the rules, if a vassal country is attacked, Kang State has to send troops to support it. Picture what?
The three armies have not moved, and food and grass go first.
These are considerable military expenditures.
Thinking of this, the envoy couldn't help showing a look of sadness: "Qi State can't stop it for a while, but it can't be done forever! What's the use of sleeping overnight? With Qi State's current status, it may be cautious to stop it because of the leakage of secrets. But it may also break your face!”
Fight as long as you want, regardless of the name of the troops sent.
At that time, there was really no way to save the day.
Shen Tang remained unmoved.
The envoy looked confused: "The envoy also needs to understand the difficulties of sending troops. To frighten the Qi State, we need twenty to thirty thousand elites, right? In order to ensure that these soldiers have constant food and grass, they also have to send troops to **** the food transport team, one in front of the other, which is a hundred thousand in size." . When these soldiers and horses stay in Kang State, they are like towering trees with deep roots. But outside the borders of Kang State, they are like trees without roots. How great is the risk?"
When Shen Tang's soldiers and horses fight, the pressure on the food line is minimal.
However, there is no need to tell outsiders these details.
She can fool the messenger with peace of mind.
After "calculation", Shen Tang felt that this move was too much of a loss.
When the envoy saw that Shen Tang wanted to refuse, he felt anxious.
"As long as the leader of the country is willing to lend a helping hand, our country will always surrender to Kangguo in one day!" This trip to bring in reinforcements is, to put it harshly, just begging for mercy. We can neither leave our posture in the dust nor be humble enough. It's unpleasant. It's difficult to handle the arrival of professional people, not to mention that the envoy was originally a female official assisting the inner court and had no experience in going on a mission.
Shen Tang looked disappointed.
The envoy has little status in the country. Can she make decisions on behalf of the head of a country? Hahaha, even if the leader of a country personally signs the oath in black and white, it will be torn up at will.
"I swear with my life in front of the Emperor's Palace! If there is one false word or one word of deceit, the whole family will end in ruins!"
Gu Chi’s secret words rang in her mind.
【My lord, this lady is still a daughter of the clan. 】
Her whole family is the royal family.
This oath is really cruel. Not to mention the female officials in the inner court, even the serious civil and military officials in the court dare not speak it easily.
Shen Tang: “…”
She appropriately showed her surprise and appreciation for the envoy's move. After some hesitation, she seemed to soften her heart: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be settled in a few words. Don't be impatient now. We will discuss it with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs later. Give an answer."
The messenger is a wise man.
In other words, she read the cheat sheet before coming here and knows what words can move people the most. The reason why Kang Guo was unwilling to send troops was simply that the losses would be too great and there was no need to engage in capitalless business. But what if we can make money by sending troops this time, or even expand our territory?
She couldn't help but think of a certain story book.
The young and promising king finally got what he wanted. As he rubbed his hair with his sweetheart, joy filled his chest. The sweaty drops on his forehead were stained with his hair, highlighting his eyes full of ambition. When people around her asked her why she was laughing, she picked up a strand of black hair and sniffed it, making an ambiguous pun: "Gu's biggest hobby in this life is to open up new territories, how can I not like it?" 】
The small country cannot satisfy the ambition of the young king.
Qi Guo can always make her happy, right?
Before she was ordered to go on the mission, the country's leader also prepared for the worst—if the foundation could not be saved, at least his life would be saved.
The Qi State is no different from ordinary princes and powers. They have no mercy towards the previous royal family. They are afraid that the remaining evil will one day reappear, so they simply eradicate it. In comparison, Kang Guo was much kinder. It is said that the common people in the city often see Wu Xian, the former leader of the Kingdom of Gao, walking outside. When he was in a high mood, he would also go out with others to compete in martial arts and live a happy life.
Kang Guo also granted people titles and raised them in honor.
Compared with the whole family being liquidated, this day is considered beautiful!
Of course, this is not yet the case.
The envoy's intention on the country's side is that if necessary, he can divert trouble to the east and instigate Kang State to fight with Qi State. When the two countries fight, they will not take care of small countries. Even if the country is still destroyed in the end, Qi State can't even think about being comfortable. At worst, it will be a fight to the death!
Gu Chi: “…”
This kind of talk should be stopped among the people!
However, one thing is still true. The leader of the Kang Kingdom has exclusive cat grass, and expanding her territory is a temptation she can't refuse!
What the envoy didn’t know was that Kang Guo had already begun preparing for war.
Had it not been too obvious, Shen Tang could have even ordered all the troops and horses to set off on the same day, instead of following the so-called "dispatch of troops and generals" according to the process. No matter how anxious the messenger was, he did not dare to rush.
Tan Ting is also accompanying the army this time.
In addition to letting Tan Ting show off his strength, the other thing is to give him the opportunity to make contributions. Only with military achievements can he gain prestige. Otherwise, he will not be able to suppress those brave and arrogant warriors. Tan Ting also knew the true intention of this battle and planned it in private.
"The elite troops dispatched this time can save us if we want to, but even if we do, we will be in big trouble." Tan Ting looked at the situation on the sand table battlefield with some distress. His opponent was Qin Li. The odds of winning this game are not even 50-50.
"trouble?"
"How can a strong country annex a vassal country that is dependent on itself?" If you don't annex, you will be very upset when you see that small piece of land that does not belong to you. He didn't believe that there were only a few civil and military officials in the entire dynasty who could sincerely support him, and each of them had their own thoughts.
Qin Li looked at Tan Ting meaningfully.
“It depends on whether the timing is subtle or not.”
Tan Ting asked tentatively: "If you can, drag it first?"
Qin Li smiled and shook his head: "The intention of delaying sending troops is too obvious. Qi Yuanliang and the others cherish the reputation of the Lord so much, how can they be willing to let the Lord bear such a stigma? We not only have to send troops, but also do it neatly, Don't waste a moment to let outsiders see Kang Guo's sincerity in supporting us. However, we can only control ourselves and not the enemy, right?"
What if Qi State wiped out the small country first?
Although Kang Guo will not help small countries recover, they will use small countries as an excuse to regain their position and have a good reputation. Whoever blocks it will be the next stumbling block to be kicked away! It is impossible to regain the territory in the future and return it to small countries. Everything is logical.
Shen Tang’s arrangement obviously doesn’t stop there.
Her words made the envoy so moved that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and said: "I know that you are very impatient. I have ordered the generals under my account to lead 300 elite troops. Everything will be simple and disguised. If there is any movement in Qi State, they will also It can come in handy.”
Actually—
The enemies of Gongxi have not yet arrived, and the news has spread to Qi State.
Shen Tang and Lio Jia were at war with each other.
