Back Off, Let Me Come

This year, the Southwest Continent and the Northwest Continent are at odds with each other, and the Central Continent is also ready to make a move. This group of people are also thieves, and they planned to end the battle in the form of reinforcements from the beginning, to help one of them, so that Kang State and the Southwest Allied Forces could fight for a longer time, and consume as much food and troops as possible. Once the time is right, you can take action and the fisherman will benefit.

After much deliberation, I chose to bet on both ends.

For this reason, two envoys were sent to lobby respectively.

The envoys on one route died, but on the other, they came back alive, but did not bring back the news they were expecting. Kang Guo clearly saw through their plan and refused this poisonous temptation from the beginning. Isn't Kang Guo's move a toast and a penalty for not eating?

Soft ones are not enough, so you can only use hard ones.

If it is delayed until Kang State and the Southwest Allied Forces decide the outcome, no matter who wins by then, it will be a disaster!

Several big countries in the central region are in sync with each other and are preparing to mobilize troops.

Unexpectedly, the news leaked out, and Qu State in the southeast suddenly sent troops to attack, so they had to temporarily put aside their plan to pick up the leaks. Qu State was established not long ago, but it has developed very rapidly in recent years. If you ignore it, maybe even your hometown will be stolen!

An envoy was immediately sent to communicate and negotiate peace.

We are all neighbors separated by several small countries. We have no grudges in the past and no grudges in recent days. There is no unsolved blood feud between our ancestors. The little brother suddenly rolls up his sleeves and hits someone without saying hello. This is wrong! Should I give an explanation?

As long as the explanation is reasonable, everyone can shake hands and make peace.

The central countries have not given up on annexing the northwest and southwest territories in one fell swoop - compared with such a large territory, a small profit to appease Qu State is nothing at all, and this deal is a good deal. However, Qu Guo seemed to be determined this time. He not only made things difficult for the envoy in every possible way, but also said that it would be impossible to cease the war.

The envoy was very angry in Qu State.

The original tried-and-true bribery method also hit a wall.

The messenger’s confidant suggested: [I heard that the leader of Qu State, Zhai Xiaofang, has a deep affection for his queen, so maybe we can start from here. 】

Even if the interests of the queen and Zhai Le are the same, it does not mean that the interests of the queen's mother's family are the same as those of Zhai Le. The situation in the southeastern continent is similar to that in the southwest, with more water and less farmland, especially in areas near the coastline. The land is not only barren but also plagued by natural disasters. After Zhai Le came to power, he encouraged farming and even went so far as to force the army to intervene in private land reclamation. It took a few years for agricultural development to pick up slightly, but it was still incomparable with the central continent, which occupies a favorable geographical location. The business of the big families in the southeast is intricately connected with the central part of the country.

Maybe we can use this as a breakthrough.

As long as the mother clan wavers, won’t the pillow wind start to blow?

Even if the desired effect cannot be achieved, at least the cause of Qu Guo's sudden convulsion should be figured out first. If there is no benefit at all, why would Qu Guo mobilize his troops to do anything? Fighting is not an outing! There are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the amount of food and grass consumed in a day is astronomical.

What is Qu Guotu doing?

This question is puzzling.

It even alarmed the central branch of the Society of Gods! The branch came forward to negotiate with the Southeast Branch, but they couldn't get any inside information from Yu Hai's mouth. It has to be said that starting to corrode and infiltrate the target's personal network is indeed a tried-and-true trick.

Even though Zhai Le had repeatedly warned the Yue family over the years, and tried to calm Tianzao afterwards, he still couldn't completely eliminate it!

When Yu Hai told himself that there were unfamiliar faces walking around at the Yue family, Zhai Xiaofang paused while reviewing the memorial and said without changing her expression: "Oh, I already know about this matter and will deal with it later." 】

It's a matter involving the Yue family, and it's not easy for Yu Hai to get involved.

Seeing that Zhai Le had his own idea, he felt relieved.

[The ministers and workers in the DPRK did not understand it very well, and there were many objections. 】Most of them complained in private and did not dare to oppose Zhai Le in public. This was related to the fact that the two leaders of Qu State relied heavily on military generals. The previous head of the country, Zhai Huan, was a little better. He was also a literary scholar, and he took care of the civil servants, and his partiality was not too severe. Zhai Le is different, he clings to military power.

The military generals in the DPRK and the Central Military Commission followed him with obedience.

If it weren't for Yu Hai's support on the civil servants' side, life would be difficult.

Zhai Le said: [Ignore it. 】

This matter cannot be explained clearly.

He folded the memorials, stacked them together, thought for a while, and added: [When the situation in the northwest becomes clear, I will explain it to my ministers again, and then come up with the reason for "Qukang Alliance to share the world"... Also stand Stand still. If Kang Guo loses...]

Zhai Le looked at the ray of skylight outside the window.

[If we lose, the hope of the world rests on your shoulders! 】

Yu Hai: […]

The young scribe has been assisting Zhai Le for these years, and his face can be seen to the naked eye to be more of a social beast, and his eyes are not as lively as they used to be. At first glance, there is a sense of decadence as the male monster/female monster takes turns sucking the yang energy dry, and the whole body exudes the aura of "it's good to be alive, but it's okay to die". He himself expressed dissatisfaction with the current workload, and heard that Zhai Le was daydreaming about dominating the world...

He might as well look for a place with better feng shui first.

Even if you die, you must die elegantly and decently.

[Gui Long, a bit young and energetic! 】Zhai Le patted his friend on the shoulder, trying to inspire his enthusiasm!

Yu Haisheng said helplessly: [No! 】

It's so difficult to live, it's better to hang yourself with three feet of white silk!

Zhai Le: [……]

Yu Hai had a headache and said: [Since early death and late death are all the same, if I had known this, I should not have been saved by the First Lord! 】

The good times only lasted a few years, but there was no shortage of hardships.

In order to repay his kindness, he first worked for the half-dead Zhai Huan, and then was passed on by Zhai Huan to Zhai Le, and he continued to work for Zhai Le.

Is your life just like a cow or a horse?

Zhai Le was amused by his self-defeating speech, and his face showed a rare relaxed smile these days: [I know that Gui Long has worked hard, and I have given you leave for the past two days. Go back and have a good rest. 】

Yu Hai stayed at home to thank guests behind closed doors. He happened to deal with some people so that they would not embarrass him by asking for help from Yu Hai.

The monarch and his ministers reached a tacit understanding with just one look.

In order to show his determination to go to war, Zhai Le killed the envoy and his party!

The courtiers were furious and tried to dissuade him one after another.

Zhai Le said: [What advice is there? The queen cried to Gu, saying that the youngest member of the clan had been harmed by a bad person. If such a shame and humiliation were not severely punished, what do you think of me, the female family members of the Qu Kingdom? Are you afraid of the men of Qu State, so you humiliate women to regain face? 】

The courtiers looked at each other, speechless.

No, that's not the news they got.

Not to mention that the Xunnan Zhao family girl was just a daughter of the queen's side clan. When the queen came out of the cabinet, she was only a seven or eight-year-old girl. It was impossible for her to have any feelings for the queen, and the queen would most likely not cry for her to the king. . Even if the sisters of the same race had feelings for each other, this girl was given to the envoy by Zhao to win over their feelings. How can it be considered an infringement if you are in love with me?

It was even more impossible for the queen to cry.

The messenger was caught in the main hall and was dumbfounded when he heard this.

He subconsciously looked at the Zhao officials among the courtiers.

The latter's expressions are also very exciting, including confusion, surprise, impatience, realization and withdrawal. When the messenger saw this, what else did he not understand? Regardless of whether Zhao and Zhai Le colluded to set up a trap for him, or whether Zhao and himself were deceived by Zhai Le, he was doomed! He immediately broke free and started yelling.

Where is Zhai Xiaofang, who suffered a thousand cuts, waiting here for me?

The result is no surprise——

A sharp "escort" sounded outside the palace, and the envoy died with his eyes closed. All this was developing so fast that the courtiers had no time to stop it. Zhai Le killed someone and announced the dismissal of the court in a happy mood. What does "the two armies are fighting without killing the envoy"? Rules are dead.

Throughout hundreds of thousands of years of history, envoys have been a high-risk profession, especially when traveling to an opponent who is about to start a war.

Come and kill each one. Not killing is not enough to boost the morale of the army!

Just after leaving court, many officials went straight to Yu Hai's residence crying.

When Yu Xiang was absent for a day, the king went crazy.

Yu Hai was so noisy that his brain ached, but he still had a gentle smile on his face: "The man has been chopped into a puddle of flesh, and we can't glue him back." Now that things have come to this, there is only one way to go. 】

This battle can only be fought.

Without fighting, neither country will be able to climb down the ladder.

Qu Guo mobilized troops very quickly.

The resistance encountered was also much weaker than expected.

It's not that the opponent's strength suddenly dropped sharply, but that the opponent was not fully prepared from the beginning. At the same time, there were also discordant voices within the country, and several warlord forces emerged among the people. Among them, the warlords in one group had the strongest momentum. Wherever they went, they could be said to "raise their arms and respond to a hundred responses." They quickly accumulated 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses, and even cooperated with Qu State several times.

This warlord raised a flag without words.

As the name suggests, the flag has no words on it.

It is said that it is because the leader has no name?

Some insiders also discovered that most of the top leaders of the warlords were old friends of Quqing Academy, but their leader was actually a woman with a not-so-distinguished appearance. After looking through the remaining information from Quqing Academy, no details about this woman could be found. The outside world is also curious about who this woman is and why she can gather so many students from Quqing Academy? And why can he recruit 20,000 to 30,000 troops as soon as he leaves the mountain?

You must know that these soldiers and horses are not crooked melons and cracked jujubes.

A considerable number of them are brave warriors, and there are even some famous military generals who came directly to defect with their own private troops. Wen Youquqing Academy, Wu You these military generals and knights, this unknown force develops at a staggering speed!

Zhai Le was also speechless.

As far as he knows, his friends have been operating in the northwest, and the incarnation operating in the central and southeast has only appeared in the past two years. It was impossible for her to accumulate much profound knowledge in such a short period of time. Or is it that Xia Houyu and Gu De have such strong connections?

Zhai Le felt more or less regretful.

If I had known this, I wouldn't be able to keep these two people even if they couldn't work for me. Now it's fine, they are all at their advantage.

However, Xia Houyu and Gu De were even more stunned.

The purpose of Quqing Academy is to teach without distinction. As long as there is a desire to learn, you will have the opportunity to enter the academy. It does not limit whether students are literary scholars or brave warriors, nor does it limit ordinary people. Even so, 90% of the students in the academy studied literature, and the rest studied martial arts.

This also caused Xia Houyu's personal network to be seriously biased.

Recruiting scribes?

Don’t worry about not having a goal at all.

Recruiting generals?

Ah, this is a bit embarrassing.

Xia Houyu and Gu De searched through their personal networks but could only find three or two kittens who came to visit them. When they heard that they were coming, they either declined politely or turned a deaf ear and maintained their basic decency.

It's not that they don't give Xia Houyu face, but that they are different from the scribes. The scribe defected to Xiahou Yu's lord, and how many eloquent people did he bring with him? It's different for brave warriors.

In addition to their own families, they also have private tribes with dozens to hundreds of people, and these private tribes also have families.

Defection is not just a matter of one household!

To put it bluntly, even if everyone agreed to defect, Xia Houyu's lord would have to provide for their food rations! If one day they run out of food, how will they explain to their brothers who have been through life and death?

Considering all things considered, many people choose to wait and see.

So--

How did Shen Zixu Tang pull up this team?

The secret is simple.

[Of course it’s not about getting foreign aid. Kangguo’s military strength is tight and they can’t transfer enough people. ] Shen Zixu Tang pinched his chin and smiled mysteriously, [When our people arrive, you will know what’s going on. This matter is absolutely reliable! ]

Xiahou Yu and others suppressed their anxiety and waited for a strange young man. The young man bowed and said: [I am He Shu, and my courtesy name is Bu Zuo. ]

[Xiahou Yu, my courtesy name is Zi Kuan. ]

[Gu De, my courtesy name is You Rong. ]

[Before Shu came, I heard the master mention two colleagues. When I saw them today, I realized that the description was not as good as my style. ]

Although it was just a normal greeting, it also eased the atmosphere a lot.

Xiahou Yu led He Shu to see the master.

[Bu Zuo came quickly. Did you bring the things? 】

Shen·Zixu·Tang took two steps at a time, skipping the meaningless greetings. His eagerness made He Shu curious about what was in the two large boxes that the master asked him to bring.

[I have brought them all. ]

He Shu brought two large boxes with him when he came.

These two large boxes were brought from the homes of Gongxichou and Shaochong, and were sealed and packaged before being delivered to He Shu.

Zixu urged him to hurry up, so He Shu had to leave the team heading south and rush here first, fearing that he would delay the important matter.

[Master, what is in these? ]

The two boxes were not very heavy.

Shen·Zixu·Tang snapped the copper lock on the wooden box with his fingers.

Before the box was opened, countless guesses emerged in the minds of the three people.

They had thought of everything, but they had never thought that the box contained... um, dozens of men's underwear?

After recognizing what it was, He Shu retreated with a strange expression.

A glance at Xiahou Yu and Gu De showed the same reaction.

Fortunately, there was no strange smell in the air.

He Shu was almost speechless: [Master, you——you——]

You are urging me for just one box, no, two boxes of men's calf pants? Don't ask why it was two boxes, because his master also broke the copper lock of another box!

When he thought of the secrets he brought all the way from the northwest, which turned out to be two boxes full of calf pants of various materials, He Shu felt his soul was floating and kicked He Xin out.

He Xin: [……]

He didn't want to face this scene!

Shen Zixu Tang kept her head down, so she naturally didn't see the complicated and strange expressions of the three ministers. She said happily: [With these handles, our future affairs will be easier. ]

[Hand, handle? ]

[These calf pants all have owners. 】Gong Xichou said that these calf-length pants were all made of brand new material, so she picked one up without any psychological burden. On the cloth strip was a person's name, and there was a seal next to the name. And it was not an ordinary seal! There was a faint martial spirit flowing between the textures, and it was clearly stamped with a martial tiger talisman!

Tang Mei: Okay, okay, it's easier for any incarnation to start a business than for me, right?
