Chapter 1293 Chapter 1293: Concealing the truth (Part 2) [Please vote]
A group of high-quality and courageous warriors joined Kang Guo's branch in the central continent in such a magical way, successfully making up for the current imbalance between civil and military affairs. This also caused Shen Zixu Tang's power to expand and quickly became a sharp blade that could threaten the heart.
The forces along this road cooperated with Qu Guoli and Waiwai, and the effect was remarkable.
It was precisely because it was so obvious that it made Zhai Le suspicious.
What do you suspect?
Naturally, she suspected that Shen Tang was lying before.
It is suspected that Kang Guo still has the strength to mobilize troops here while dealing with the southwestern allied forces, and this is fundamentally different from Shen Tang's previous promise. Zhai Le remained calm and ordered people to investigate the truth secretly. Incarnation Zixu has only been operating in the central continent for a short time, so how can it win over so many combat forces in a short period of time? It was normal for her to be able to hide this from Qu State. After all, Qu State's external penetration was limited, but it was outrageous to be able to hide it from the central countries. The forces in the central continent are complicated, and this is not the northwest that she has managed for many years and that she says everything!
When investigating matters in other countries, the intelligence network of the Gods Society will be more accurate. Within two days, Yu Hai's deputy sent the detailed inside story to Zhai Le: "It's best to put the tea cup down before the Lord takes a look."
Well, it's best not to have anything in your mouth.
Zhai Le smiled and put down the tea cup in his hand: "Have you seen it?"
The minister's expression was hard to describe: "I took a look."
Zhai Le thought about Shen Tang's endless tricks in his youth, and he felt confident, and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
It took the young and calm minister a long time to suppress his true thoughts.
"Hmm...amazing!"
"It's natural, she always has so many unexpected abilities." When Zhai Le said this, he felt refreshed and happy, with a smile on his face, "...it's like...the most amazing stroke in the chaotic world of scribbling."
When the minister thought about the content, his expression became even weirder.
Stunning, indeed stunning!
Zhai Le opened the booklet.
Zhai Le closed the book.
Zhai Le sat cross-legged and crossed his chest on the throne. He looked as puffed up as a puffer fish, with some traces of his childhood.
After a while, he said in a daze: "Is this okay?"
Because most of the country's leaders abuse the national fortune for their own personal gain, coupled with poor national governance, there are almost no countries that do not have a national fortune deficit, and the national fortune allocated to military generals cannot be measured accurately every time. This also led to some brave warriors refusing to be recruited and choosing to dominate the mountains and become local tyrants among the people. This group is a mixed bag of good and bad, and gold can still be found in the waves.
The State of Qu promoted many military generals who were born as folk rangers.
They each have their own specialties, and their levels of strength vary.
As a result, my friend easily used two boxes of calf-nosed clothes and a little force to intimidate him, and with the two-pronged approach, he recruited so many powerful generals for his use. Hey, no, this makes other countries including Qu State look stupid!
When other countries recruit talents, they either rack their brains to recruit them or sell them with a lot of money. But when it is Shen Tang's turn, she doesn't have to make formalities or spend money. She just comes to the door asking for people to fight for her.
Zhai Le can highly summarize it in one sentence at this time.
If you heroes are being coerced, please blink!
Courtier: "These reckless men are really unpredictable."
How many people came to invite people with high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but these people were making things difficult and looked down upon. He sneered at the high-ranking official and his salary, but couldn't take his eyes away from the two calf-nosed robes...
How is this not a miracle?
Zhai Le held his head: "I can't figure it out."
As everyone knows, let alone an outsider who can't figure it out, neither can the victims who are involved. With so many enemies joining in to help, it is naturally not too difficult to capture the city. Taking advantage of Wang Ting's attention being attracted by Qu Guo, Shen Tang also accelerated the pace of expansion.
Some of these sites are themselves victims' nests.
A typical example is the neighboring county magistrate.
Regarding this special situation, Shen Tang accepted it all.
After a small victory in the battle, she was generous and arranged a celebration banquet with a big wave of her hand - although in the eyes of the victim, there was no need to celebrate a victory of this level. But since Shen Tang is the host, they naturally won't worry about money for Shen Tang.
“What kind of celebration party is it without singing and dancing?”
The only thing worthy of praise is the rich variety of dishes.
Many of the dishes were something they had never seen before, and they didn't know what their specialties were. After a brief sip, it tasted pretty good, which barely relieved some of my resentment. I couldn't help but curse in my heart. I have never seen such a shabby banquet in my entire life.
Most of the victims are not convinced by Shen Tang.
Even if Shen Tang showed his strength to absolutely suppress them, and even took some strange heroes into his account, personal strength belongs to personal strength, and power belongs to power. Which force's development depends entirely on the force of one person? As opponents, they are convinced; as ministers, it is still far from convincing them. This cannot be won with a few plates of side dishes and a few empty words.
Due to the fact that he lost to Gong Xiqiu and his friends, and because Shen Tang was not weak at all, he could barely give him some face.
On the contrary, who would want to talk to her?
The atmosphere of the banquet was very dull.
There is a clear distinction between civil and military affairs, and they do not communicate with each other.
Some of the victims also knew each other. They were close to each other but did not dare to look at each other. They were afraid of seeing sympathy or ridicule in each other's eyes. This humiliating experience is so shameful that it’s hard to hide it, but who would want to tell it to the public? Shameful, really shameful!
So we unanimously chose to turn a blind eye and not recognize him.
"Hey, not even a drink."
Just as he complained, dozens of soldiers came in carrying dark wine jars.
The wine jar is tied tightly with red cloth, but you can still smell the mellow aroma of wine when you get closer. All the victims were very powerful, so they could naturally feel the energy of heaven and earth becoming active in the aroma of wine. Needless to say, it is definitely a good wine, and I don’t care where the wine comes from.
As long as you can drink it into your stomach.
"Um?"
“Good wine!”
Spiritual wine has been around for so many years, and the central continent is the place with the best resources and information. How could Shen Tang let this big cake go? They are opening up sales channels overtly and covertly. They are operating in a serious manner on the surface, but they are also smuggling by changing their vests behind the scenes. These victims here are also considered to be the best among brave warriors, so they naturally have the opportunity to come into contact with such good things as spiritual wine. But good things are not authentic.
When I tasted it today, my face changed.
Shen Tang sat at the top and observed the faces of the victims.
She poured herself a glass with a smile: "In the early days of creation, my money is tight, and I don't have much good things to entertain you, so I will punish myself with a cup first."
"Where, if so..."
Victims who resist communication with the outside world exchange glances with each other.
For a moment, I was a little unsure whether Shen Tang's words were true or false.
Serving guests with spiritual wine at banquets is not something that just any family can do. Some of them were also invited to participate. Although the wine at the banquet was effective, the taste was bland and was just a little better than the rice wine they usually drink. With all the wine in front of me, my face started to burn after just two bowls, as if I was a little tipsy. They were also worried that there was something added to the wine, and they secretly had luck wandering through the meridians without finding any clues. They just felt that the martial energy in the meridians was more active and exciting than before...
Putting aside the humiliation of the calf, this wine is very good!
Few of the courageous warriors were not good at drinking. They drank according to their usual drinking capacity, but they misjudged the stamina of the drinks.
As the alcohol got to his head, his mind was anesthetized. As they drank and drank, the atmosphere finally calmed down, and the embarrassment that almost made people suffocate before was gone. A military general with white beard and hair took advantage of his age and drunkenness to ask what was on his mind: "I wonder if the female monarch has gathered a crowd to start an uprising, what are her plans?"
In other words, how ambitious is she?
What goal are you ready to achieve before you stop?
These people are only here to help for a short time, and they are here because they have no choice. Once the time is up, they will return to their respective positions without mercy. However, for the sake of these drinks, if the goals are not much different, you can be tolerant.
For example, when she was about to leave, she had achieved 99% of her goal, and the remaining points would not waste much time. If the relationship was good during the period, he would be willing to stay and make up for the last bit, without accepting any favors from the other party. Good deeds.
Shen Tang said: "I'm afraid I'll scare you if I tell you."
"Huh, I've lived for seventy years, and I'm still scared?"
Shen Tang shook the wine cup: "I want the central part of the world."
"What a big breath."
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
Only those who fail to complete the task have a bad tone.
Seeing her serious expression, the general with white hair and beard exchanged glances with the others and couldn't help pouring cold water on Shen Tang: "It's admirable for the female monarch to have such an ambition, but we must also look at the reality. With the female monarch's current background , It's not difficult to get a place, but if you want more, it's not easy. If you really want it, I can show you a clear way, maybe there is a chance. "
If you want to hang out in the central part of the country, you have to visit the pier.
If a country wants to be established for a long time, it also needs to win over wealthy families.
Without the support of wealthy families, I'm afraid it won't work.
Everyone here, especially the Victims Alliance, are all from ordinary folk backgrounds and have no favorable impressions of the wealthy families in the central region, but they have to admit these rules of survival. If a young female monarch wants to establish herself, it is best and easiest to recruit the help of the children of wealthy families.
Otherwise—
It's easy to be targeted.
"When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, I will let hundreds of flowers bloom. The fragrance will penetrate Chang'an, and the whole city will be filled with golden armor." Shen Tang was so drunk that her eyes were blurred. She lazily held up her chin and tilted her head, asking a meaningful question. Everyone said, "Gentlemen, have you ever heard of Huang Chao?"
For a moment, the whole place was silent, and you could hear a needle drop.
Shen Tang seemed not to notice and chuckled: "Why are you so serious? I didn't say that I wanted to imitate Huang Chao. I just thought of Kang Guo. He is not far behind Huang Chao."
She wouldn't mind doing it thoroughly in the central continent if she failed to do it in the northwest continent. At worst, Zhai Le would be framed for the crime, and Zhai Le's straight waist was perfect for taking the blame.
The victims let out a sigh of relief.
There were many talented people among them, and they keenly noticed that the faces of the scribes did not change, as if they had not heard anything shocking that Shen Tang said. You must know that it is easier for aristocratic families to produce scribes. The more outstanding scribes, the higher their origins. These people here are all of good temperament, and they are not like what ordinary families can raise...
This is interesting.
After the celebration banquet was over, He Shu sent Shen Tang back.
There was no one around, and Shen Tang, who had been drunk just now, regained his clarity. He Shu said: "My lord, this move is too rash."
After all, the central continent is dominated by aristocratic families.
There is no guarantee that none of these people are from aristocratic families.
The master recited Huang Chao's words, his malice was too obvious.
Shen Tang said: "We have different paths and we don't want to conspire with each other. Instead of breaking up in the future when the relationship becomes deep, it's better to figure it out now."
As for bringing trouble?
That's not the case.
Firstly, the news was transmitted too slowly. By the time someone jumped out to deal with her, she would have probably already joined Qu Guo. Secondly, her power in the central continent was still too small, just like a stronger ant jumping around. Kill the elephant...
The elephant won't care.
Shen Tang smiled again and said: "Don't you think that I am recruiting them, and they are all welcome, right? Before Jimo Qiu challenged these people, he had a brief understanding of their background. According to the intelligence they provided, and Jimo Qiu's Divination, these people will be included in my plan. Today’s celebration banquet is just to let everyone know each other, and to see that they clearly know other people, but they have to pretend to be unfamiliar for the sake of face..."
It’s a great tool to lighten your mood!
He Shu: "..."
To put it bluntly, you just want to see these people laugh?
This cunning and narrow-minded hobby is indeed the same as Qi Shan. How else can these two be emperors and ministers? He Shu complained internally for a while, and control of his body was taken away by the congratulatory letter. He heard the congratulatory letter and asked: "The Lord is not happy, but the front line is defeated?"
Shen Tang said: "It's not considered a defeat."
The good mood of the night disappeared without a trace.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and recalled: "It's just that I have been playing the Thirty-six Strategies for so many years, but I didn't expect that someone would turn an army against me and make people run away under my nose. That was really a... cunning opponent..."
There was not a lot of displeasure in her tone, but more of a hunter appreciating the calmness of his prey as they ran around. The resistance of the weak was also a kind of fun in her opinion. He Xin had never gone to the southwest front, and had been kept working in the royal capital by Qi Yuanliang. If the central region had not matched his eldest brother's attributes, he would not have had the chance to follow him out for some air, but he knew who the opponent his superior was talking about was.
"So tricky?"
"It's just a stubborn resistance." This speech sounds a bit like a villain, and he is also a villain who opened the champagne at halftime and was slapped in the face. "She wrote a sincere letter to Shousheng, and Shousheng gave the letter to me. These are all in The purpose of her plan was to create an illusion—an illusion that the army was trapped in a desperate situation and had no choice but to make a foolish move. Is this actually—"
In fact, they had already run away.
When Shen Tang said this, his teeth became sore.
She thought of many possibilities. She speculated that the deserters might be Mei Meng's trick. They looked like deserters, but in fact they were elites secretly plotting against Chen Cang. They cooperated inside and outside to sneak attack on Kang's troops. She also speculated that Mei Meng used Lu Jue to pass on wrong information to her and took the opportunity to counterattack... They even guessed that among the deserters were spies from the Southwest Allied Forces. The spies took advantage of the chaos and sent out battle reports and moved in to rescue the troops.
Mei Meng didn't do these bells and whistles.
Deserters are real.
It is also true to prepare for a last-ditch battle.
However, it is true that the deserter became the leader of Qi State.
Shen Tang commented: "It's really shameful to do this."
She gave each other a step down.
With enemies on all sides in place, why doesn't the leader of Qi State follow the example of the Overlord and make a dignified exit? Instead, he abandoned Mei Meng and escaped with other senior leaders of the Southwest Allied Forces and their elites. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to exit the game with dignity next time.
"Isn't this the return of the tiger?"
"There is a prerequisite for letting the tiger return to the mountain. The tiger you let go must be a tiger." Shen Tang chuckled, "Now it seems that it is just a sick cat with no courage. It's a pity that Mei Meng really has the momentum to fight against the odds. It's just that the most crucial breath was pinched by her lord. Now, it's time to catch a turtle in a jar!"
