I felt this sentence, and if it weren't for the sake of women, I wouldn't be here at all. It is said that men conquer women and conquer men, of course, the person who invented this sentence must be a woman who is extremely ugly all day long, beautiful women don't have time to ponder such philosophical words, and Su Jing is the kind of woman who can conquer the world, and she is also beautiful, every time I think of this, I feel that I am not at a loss in her hands, we have not seen each other for nearly a month since Hong Lie said goodbye, and at this moment my mind is the tall and beautiful female sword god - I really miss her a little.

The soldier saw my impatient appearance, and said with anticipation on his face: "Sword God General, if you meet that Su Jing, you will definitely compete with her, and you must call the little one when the time comes." ”

I was surprised, "Why?" ”

"The sword god is rare to see in a hundred years, not to mention that two sword gods were born together, if the two of you compete in martial arts, the little one naturally wants to open his eyes, and brag to others in the future, this one alone is enough for a lifetime."

I laughed and said, "People are allied with us, what kind of martial arts am I competing with her?" ”

The soldier pouted and said, "Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second, you don't want to know who is the real number one today?" ”

I smiled and said, "I don't want to, men and women fight, of course they can't mix if they lose, and it's even more embarrassing to win!" ”

The soldier also smiled and said, "That's true, but I heard that the daughter country is respected by women, so ...... Could she think the same way? ”

…… It seems that Shi Cundao is going to convene a high-level meeting of the whole army to discuss this matter, so we decided to leave immediately, but I didn't expect that I was entangled by two little tails before leaving-Shi Dijia and Green Calyx heard Su Jing's name and had to follow me to take a look. Shi Dijia twisted his shoulders and said coquettishly: "Fifth brother, you just let me go with you, I just want to see what the sword god looks like." ”

I spread my hands: "Sword God, don't you see it every day?" ”

Shi Dijia hurriedly added: "There is only one female sword god, Su Jing. ”

Green Calyx also said: "Yes, I heard that this Su Jing is just in his early 20s, and he is only a few years older than me, so I am also very curious." ”

I said in my heart, are you afraid of being beaten - she has seen this Su Jing several times...... So we took a dozen entourages and set off immediately, and I was silent along the way, and Pu Qixiong came up to me and said with an empathetic look: "What, I feel a little uncomfortable to see this Su Jing?" ”

"What's wrong with me?"

Pu Qixiong smiled slightly: "It's understandable, before you, this little Su Jing was the only sword god on the continent, to say that her name is bigger than yours, but in time, you will definitely overshadow her." ”

I scoffed and said, "I'm not that careful." ”

In fact, I have been thinking about some other things in my heart: what kind of attitude should I use to receive Su Jing when she comes? Needless to say, the relationship between me and her is needless to say, but in the eyes of others, we are still meeting for the first time, the Honglie Empire and the daughter country are not enemies, but they are by no means friends, as the sword god of the Honglie Empire, should I show a lot of humility Lord Ruogu has a lot of posture to contact her, or is it a scheming appearance of a sharp-beaked monkey cheek that can make the people of the Honglie Empire feel a long face?

After half a day's trekking, we finally arrived at Xinzhou City, after entering the city from the south gate, there were military people leading us to Li Jian's assassin's mansion, and after arriving at the destination, someone came to arrange for us to rest and wash, and finally Shi Cundao asked someone to pick us up to meet him in his military tent. I settled Stilja and Green Calyx in my room, and went with Puccion to the tent.

At this moment, some of the generals of the Chinese army have arrived, Shi Cundao is sitting on it, and as soon as I came in, I looked around, but I didn't find Su Jing.

Shi Cundao probably understood my thoughts, and said with a smile: "I have asked someone to arrange for Su Jing to rest in the pavilion, and she is not here." ”

I sat down with Puccion and asked, "Grandpa has already seen her?" ”

Shi Cun said: "Not yet, she only handed over a letter, saying that she came on behalf of her daughter country, and wanted to form an alliance with us Honglie to deal with Hejis, this matter is very important, you left army soldiers have arrived, I want to wait for the right army and the pioneer battalion people, and then meet this girl together." ”

While talking, someone reported that Shi Dong, the right general of the Right Route Army, and Shi Chi, the general of Fuyuan, were asking to see him outside the tent, and one of the people in the seat twisted his body restlessly - Li Jian was a little unable to sit still when he heard that his son-in-law was coming, Shi Cundao glanced at him, and said expressionlessly: "Li Tingshi, you can go to meet the two generals instead of the old man." ”

Li Jian got out of the big tent without saying a word, and after a while, he heard the excitement outside, "I've seen my father-in-law" and "I've seen my grandfather." The greetings continued, Li Jian finally saw the two grandsons, the old man was relieved, and kept asking questions, the generals in the tent had serious expressions, but outside the tent it seemed to be a meeting to recognize relatives. After a while, Shi Cundao coughed, and there was a sudden silence outside the tent, and then Shi Chi and Shi Dong followed Li Jian into the big tent, and behind them were the younger brothers of the Shi family, they were not qualified to participate in the general meeting at this level, but naturally there would be no unknown people in Hong Lie's army to accuse him of this problem.

Once it is in the account, it has to be arranged and called according to the rank of the army, Li Jian retreated to the last few rows, Shi Chi and Shi Dong stood opposite Pu Qixiong and me with the handsome case, Shi Cundao glanced at Shi Dong's arm hanging on his chest, his eyelids trembled slightly, and his face was as cold as water: "Shi Dong, your right army is unfavorable in the first battle, what crime should you be guilty of as a commander?" ”

Shi Dong hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general has no way to lead the troops, and he is willing to be dealt with by military law." But then he explained the situation of the day in detail, he did not do this to relieve the guilt, the army has its own rules in the army, he analyzed the reasons for the failure in public, others will be careful when they meet Qin Yiwu again, and his success or failure is also related to Shi Cundao's face, if his failure is really because of the lack of way to lead the army, it can only show that Shi Cundao is nepotistic, explain the cause and effect clearly, Shi Cundao is not too ugly.

Shi Cundao didn't say anything after hearing this, but the generals already understood that Shi Dong's defeat could only be said to be unlucky, he was targeted by more than 1,000 swordsmen, and it was Qin Yiwu's cavalry corps that met in the open area, and no matter who met it here, he would have a headache.

Shi Cundao thought for a moment, and said concisely: "No matter what, you were defeated in the first battle, which shook the morale of the army, and now the commander wants to demote and extend you, do you have any opinions?" ”

Shi Dong said gloomily: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Shi Cundao waved his hand: "Stand aside." ”

This punishment is not heavy, it is not light, the relegation is used as the name suggests, the rank has been lowered, but it has temporarily remained in the original position, Shi Dong has controlled the right army for many years, and the name and rank are not important to him, as long as the military power is still in his hands, it will not be affected at all, but Shi Cundao is not blindly conniving at his son, and the demotion is a serious warning, if Shi Dong cannot make meritorious contributions in the following battles, with Shi Cundao's temper, he will definitely dare to push Shi Dong's right general to the end.

Shi Cundao cleared his throat and said: "Rank general, there is a major event to discuss with you when you gather everyone today, you probably heard at the same time as you got the military order, the daughter country sent an envoy to discuss the alliance with us, and now this person is waiting outside the tent, but Hegis invaded our country this time, it seems that he did not send troops to the daughter country, at this juncture they took the initiative to form an alliance with us, the old man was deeply confused, and I would like to ask you to refer to it together: What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this daughter country? ”

Pu Qixiong frowned and said: "It's not that they want to take advantage of the tension of our fierce war, and the alliance is actually trying to take advantage of the danger of others, even if the alliance is true, at least there will be a lion to open his mouth, I don't know what excessive conditions to offer." ”

In fact, everyone here generally thought this in their hearts, so they nodded together.

I was anxious and couldn't help but say, "These are all speculations, why don't we find the envoy of the daughter country first and see what she has to say?" ”

Ding Zhan, the general of Weiyuan under Shi Cundao's account, said: "Marshal, the last general remembers that we have discussed it more than once at this time, and the emperor and the marshal seem to have meant not to advocate an alliance with the daughter country. ”

Shi Cundao asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Ding Zhan said: "Hegis has committed a heavy attack on me, presumably he will have to take action against the eighteen countries and the daughter country soon, if I form an alliance with the daughter country, they will use the alliance to ask us to send troops to help, if we send troops at that time, the [***] strength is empty, and if we do not send troops, we will be guilty of breach of contract, once the alliance is reached, the soldiers will be burdened with a burden, so in my opinion, it is better to send the envoy back to finish the matter." ”

As soon as I heard this tone, I got angry, and my mother also analyzed that the previous few times I failed to form an alliance with Hong Lie was because of this argument in his court, the Hong Lie Empire is indeed the second military power on the continent besides Hejis, so he is arrogant everywhere, and feels that everyone who takes the initiative to make friends with him has this kind of psychology of taking advantage, just like an old rich man who is afraid that his poor neighbor will affect him.

I interjected lightly: "General Ding, don't forget that Hegis hasn't sent a single soldier to his daughter's country yet, besides, our Honglie is not what it used to be, and there is nothing wrong with having one more ally, right?" ”

Ding Zhan pursed his lips disappreciatively, obviously disdainful of me as a layman.

Shi Cundao looked at me strangely and said, "So Gorou, you support our alliance with the daughter country?" ”

I was afraid that revealing my intentions too early would arouse suspicion, so I had to say ambiguously: "I mean, why don't we meet the envoy of the daughter country first, and we can't turn people away without saying anything, right?" ”

Shi Cun said: "That's right, whether it succeeds or not, we should still meet with the special envoy of the daughter country." As he spoke, he winked at the generals and said, "Even if you don't want to form an alliance, don't you want to see what this Su Jing looks like?" ”

When everyone saw that the generalissimo said this, they all laughed and said, "The marshal is right. ”

Shi Cundao adjusted his expression and said loudly: "I have invited the special envoy of the daughter country." ”

I leaned in front of the handsome desk and whispered, "Grandpa, shall we send someone to greet you?" ”

Shi Cundao shook his head and said, "Since the other party has a request for me, we don't have to be too polite, so that she thinks that we can't ask for an alliance with them." ”

I sighed secretly, this time the alliance has not yet reached such a big resistance, and whether it can succeed is really a big unknown.

Shi Cundao was handed down by the general, and someone took Su Jing into the tent from outside.

Su Jing's name, since the day she became the sword god, has been rumored on two continents, the talent and talent of this young female sword god is like an unattainable Lingao Snow Mountain, has always been the object of admiration of the world, and has always stimulated those pretentious masters, the most talented young people among them, the most ambitious goal may be to break through the sword master at the age of 20, or to be promoted to the sword master before the age of 60, Su Jing's birth made them understand that no matter how amazing they are, it is no longer possible to crown the world, It became a legend that still prevailed in an era or even a hundred generations later.

The generals in the big tent have long been familiar with the name Su Jing, and they are all people who practice martial arts, for this legendary female sword god of other countries, I am afraid that no one in the world has more complex emotions than them: envy, jealousy, resentment, hostility, but no matter what the emotion, at this moment, without exception, they all stared at the door, and then fell on the person who came...... Su Jing was still wearing a white cloth skirt, facing everyone's gaze and entering lightly, her expression was neither particularly proud nor humble, let alone ignoring everyone present, she calmly swept around everyone's faces twice, and stood ten steps in front of the handsome case, bowed slightly and said: "Daughter Su Jing, I have seen Marshal Shi." ”

Shi Cundao said quietly: "It turned out to be Su Jianshen, it's really a blessing." ”

Su Jing said: "The old marshal is polite, the old marshal has been dominating the world for 40 years, and the younger generation has really admired it for a long time." She said politely to Shi Cundao as if she were dealing with errands, and said straight to the point, "The younger generation came this time to form an alliance with your country on behalf of her daughter's country, and the old marshal must have read the letter from Her Majesty the Empress?" ”

Shi Cun said: "I've seen it." ”

Su Jing straightened his head and said, "What does Marshal Shi think?" ”

Shi Cundao stroked his beard lightly and said: "The letter only says that your country has the intention of forming an alliance, but it is not unavoidable, as for what obligations should be undertaken by the two countries after the alliance, under what circumstances, how many troops should be sent when fulfilling, and which side should bear the burden of logistics and supplies, I am afraid that your country is in such an alliance with others, I am afraid it is too hasty, right?" ”

Su Jing said: "I can answer you about this question: once the alliance is reached, a country will be in trouble, and the allies must do their best to save their allies on the premise of ensuring their own security, it's as simple as that." ”

Shi Cundao shook his head and said: "Nonsense, nonsense, isn't this just a piece of paper, how to do it?" Your female emperor is not a child, how can she be so rash, according to the old man, I still write the black and white words I just said, let's talk about it. ”

Su Jing said: "Even if the detailed rules are clear, if one party does not abide by it at the end of the day, it will still be a dead letter, and our Majesty the Empress will be sincere, and please think twice about the old marshal." ”

Shi Cundao still shook his head and said: "This so-called power of the country is too vague, and the phrase 'ensuring the security of our country' does not explain anything, according to this, in case you need us to send troops in trouble, we may leave 500,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, but for security reasons, it is okay to leave 1 million, and when the time comes, you think I don't care to help, what should I do?" ”

Su Jing said: "Tianli clearly knows that if it really comes to that point, even if the old marshal comes to help us single-handedly, we are equally grateful." ”

Shi Cundao smiled: "My Honglie Empire has a million armor, probably not to that day, Hegis is our common enemy, yes, but our two countries are too far apart, it is inconvenient to help each other, as long as your country is not merciful to the enemy and let Hegis have the opportunity to become bigger, it makes no difference whether to form an alliance or not, I think this matter will be done." ”

Shi Cundao's words are already a bit damaged, and his meaning is very clear: We don't need any allies on our side, and your side may drop the chain at any time, and the name of finding allies is actually looking for backers, we don't make this stupidity.

Su Jingliang was speechless for a long time, it seemed that he was running out of words, and the generals watched this world-famous female sword god eat this, and there was a gloating expression on his face, no matter how anxious I am, I can't speak in front of foreign envoys, otherwise it will not be far from being exposed...... Su Jing stood in place for a while, as if she had decided to break the boat, she said word by word: "I understand Marshal Shi's thoughts, your country consciously has a large number of soldiers, although Hegis is in a big situation, but if the time comes, the Honglie Empire will be able to reverse the tide of the war, and sooner or later, our daughter country will have to rely on your country's snort to survive, I'm afraid this is also the idea of everyone here, right?" ”

Shi Cundao was silent, and actually made a default.

Su Jing said coldly: "But you don't know yet, Hegis has already made up his mind in this expedition: if he doesn't take the Honglie Empire, he will never send a single soldier to his daughter country!" ”

This sentence immediately caused quite a stir, Shi Cundao's pupils contracted, and he sneered: "How does Su Jianshen know what Hegis thinks?" ”

Su Jing said: "I once sneaked into the camp of Hegis and listened to the discussion of military affairs with his subordinates, which I heard with my own ears. ”

Ding Zhan couldn't help but say: "So you were eavesdropping on the side when Tailang held a meeting with his subordinates?" ”

Su Jing suddenly turned his head and said, "Exactly." She looked around at the generals under her tent and said, "Although Su Jing is not talented, you don't think that I don't even have this ability, right?" ”

If someone else said this, it would be difficult not to drown in spittle, but Su Jing said it as a matter of course, and everyone looked at her, and they were all ashamed of themselves, and they all slowly lowered their heads.

Su Jing looked directly at Shi Cun and said: "Also, Marshal Shi is worried that we can't treat each other sincerely, I can tell you that my daughter General Zhao Fanghua has led 200,000 Feifeng troops to come at night, and it is only a hundred miles away from your country Fuzhou at this time!" ”

"What?" This sentence can set off an uproar, and the generals whispered one after another, and Shi Cundao said vigilantly: "What are your intentions? ”

Su Jing said: "As long as the alliance is completed, General Zhao will immediately send troops, and we will attack together inside and outside, and the central part of Wu Si will inevitably retreat." ”

Shi Cundao said without thinking: "What if the covenant fails? ”

Su Jing said: "The 200,000 Feifeng Army had to return the same way, so it would be a pity to trek in vain." ”

Shi Cundao pondered for a moment, then changed his tone and said, "Are there any conditions for your country to form an alliance with me?" ”

Su Jing said: "The only condition I just said. ”

"This ......" Shi Cundao was finally completely confused, he looked at the other people in the big tent, and hesitated: "Is there anything else for the rank general to say?" ”

These people are more confused than him, if they want to say that Su Jing heard the news from Tangtai Lang and they are skeptical, the 200,000 Feifeng Army will definitely not be able to fake, no one here does not know what the Feifeng Army means to the daughter country, and now is the most critical and overstretched time for the Hong Lie Army to defend the city, with the help of the 200,000 Feifeng Army, they also know what it means...... I was a little lost some time ago.,As for the reason, I may open a single chapter to say.,Or maybe not to say.,But right now, it looks like the old flower is coming back.,Maybe the quality and quantity of the novel haven't fully come back yet.,But the heart is back.。 Well, it's a little sour, I admit that the sentence about the heart is a, what is the heart back, this is not Zhang Xiaohua's style at all, in fact, what I want to say is - my heart has never left you, dear.

Well, it looks like it won't come back for a while......
