At the entrance of the pavilion, I asked Su Jing, "I really can't come at night?" ”

Su Jing just smiled and said nothing.

I had no choice but to walk back, and then reluctantly turned back and asked, "Then you will go to me at night?" ”

Su Jing: "......"

We just broke up, Zhang Shilei led a large group of people to rush over, and hurriedly saluted with me and began to look around, I shook in front of his eyes and said, "What are you looking for?" ”

Zhang Shilei said with frustration: "We heard that the fifth young master and Su Jing are together, and we also said that we would take the opportunity to come over and see what the female sword god looks like." ”

I smiled and said, "There will be more opportunities in the future." ”

Zhang Shilei said: "The marshal has decided to form an alliance with the daughter country?" ”

"Nope. But......" I said, "Yes." ”

I returned to the Zhongjun tent, Shi Cundao and Shi Jia's father and son were there, except for Pu Qixiong and Li Jian, everyone else had returned to the camp, Shi Cundao sat crookedly on the handsome chair, Li Jian and Shi Dong held hands in a corner to talk, several little brothers of the Shi family were also chatting on the side, Pu Qixiong sat under Shi Cundao and talked to him, the atmosphere was much more casual than just now, everyone was obviously waiting for me, and this was a private surname meeting, but I understand that the success of the alliance This meeting will play a role in determining the surname. Stilyan came up to me and asked, "You sent Su Jianshen back?" I nodded, and sat down next to him.

Sure enough, Shi Cundao clapped his hands when he saw me coming back and said, "Okay, there are no outsiders now, let's talk about our views on the alliance, and if you have any ideas, just say it." ”

Li Jian said simply: "Big brother, let's talk about it first, what do you think?" ”

"Not steady!" Shi Cundao stood up and paced around the ground with his hands behind his back, as if answering Li Jian's question and as if talking to himself: "The old man is not down-to-earth in his heart, although Su Jing's words are clear, but I am still confused, according to what she said, the daughter country has nothing to ask for in an alliance with me, do you believe such a good thing?" The old man didn't believe it, but I really couldn't guess their real purpose - what did the daughter country want to achieve from here? We don't have much to do with them, so what if they want to take advantage of them, or even have a conspiracy? ”

Pu Qixiong said: "I have sent someone to Fuzhou City to inquire about the news of the Feifeng Army, but Su Jing's words are conclusive, this should not be false, as for the purpose of the daughter country, I think what Su Jing said may not be their empress's thoughts, Hejis's ambition is too big, I can't worry about these women, I also think of one point - if the daughter country is now allied with us, they can at least ensure that the war will not burn to their homeland." ”

Shi Cun said: "So you are biased towards alliances? ”

Pu Qixiong said noncommittally: "I just think that the reasons of the daughter country are reasonable and reasonable, and they can temporarily rule out their worries about ulterior motives, and as for whether to form an alliance or not, I have to ask the marshal to make an idea." ”

Shi Cundao faced everyone: "What do you think? ”

Seeing that no one spoke, Stilwell took a slight step forward and coughed, Shi Cundao stared at him and said, "Your injury is not in the way, right?" ”

Stilwell bowed his head and said, "It's out of the way." ”

Shi Cundao glanced at Shi Dong again: "And you, can you still use the knife?" ”

Shi Dong was ashamed and said: "It's just some flesh wounds, and my father is worried about it." ”

Shi Cundao is very strict in governing the army, especially when he is in the army, he is not smiling, these two greetings are already his greatest concern for his children and grandchildren, in fact, everyone can see that the old man is still very distressed, in front of the generals he is inconvenient to express, only then it was revealed.

Shi Cundao said to Stilwell: "What do you have to say?" ”

Stilwell said: "The alliance between countries must first analyze the pros and cons, and now the advantage of the daughter country to us is that we can temporarily relieve the siege of Fuzhou, but grandfather has not thought about it, even if Wu Sizhong was caught off guard and withdrew his troops, the troops of the military forces of Tailang and Qin Yi are still more than the total strength of us and the daughter country, and when the time comes, grandfather, you can't let the 200,000 Feifeng army expose the city, right?" The only possibility is to let these people be stationed in Fuzhou, then the supply of the 200,000 Feifeng Army will naturally fall on our shoulders, although women can't eat much. ”

Stilwell's witty remark caused everyone to laugh, and Shi Cun said, "You go on." ”

Stilwell said: "The situation will not change much after the Feifeng Army enters the city, the big deal is that we have 200,000 more besieged men and horses, which is not beneficial to the overall situation, and I have not officially analyzed the disadvantages of the alliance." Stilwell said eloquently, "Today, that Su Jing talked about Hejis's strategy, saying that if she didn't take down my Honglie Empire, she would never send a single soldier to her daughter country, these words were all her empty words, could she say yes?" Maybe Hegis is now sending troops to the direction of the Eighteen Kingdoms, and the daughter country lends me troops, hoping to make Hegis feel struggling in the northeast battlefield of my Honglie Empire, so he will throw all his troops in, so that the daughter country located in the southeast is a corner of peace, and they use a very small price in exchange for sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if what Su Jing said is true, Hegis will attack my Honglie Empire with all his might, and there will be only two consequences of doing so, one ...... Forgive me for saying that the sin deserves death, one is that we have been destroyed by others, and the other is that Hajis has not been able to attack for a long time and returns, so which of the two possible surnames is greater? ”

Shi Cundao said with his hands behind his back: "As a soldier, we will only discuss the latter. The crowd laughed again.

Stilwell said: "Hegis can't take our Honglie Empire, maybe a year or two, maybe four or five years, after recuperating his strength, he will inevitably turn to attack from the southeast of the Federation Continent, the Eighteen Nations Alliance is vulnerable, and then the daughter country, then, as an ally of the daughter country, should we send troops to help?" If we accept the help of the daughter country at this time, will we also have to send all the best troops in the country to help the daughter country fight? Everyone understands in their hearts that although we will inevitably suffer huge losses when we send troops, we will not be able to do the same if we do not send troops, and we are not as good as women if we are ungrateful. ”

I listened to Stilwell's words, I had the urge to wipe his face with shit, this kid has simply brought the mentality of living a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain to the fullest, but on the other hand, I have to admire his meticulousness, I don't know if the empress of the daughter country thinks so, but Stilwell did list all the possible surnames. This kid was a little reckless when he fought, but his brain was not stupid, in fact, everyone here had better brains than me in this regard, including Pu Qixiong, who analyzed the true purpose of the empress in a few words.

Shi Cundao looked at Stilwell approvingly: "What you said is very reasonable, but what I'm worried about is not this, the alliance between the two countries is nothing more than using each other, this is understandable, the old man is worried about whether Zhao Fanghua has other intentions in addition, you must know that if we include these 200,000 Feifeng Army, there will be many variables." ”

Shi Chi said: "Father is afraid that Zhao Fanghua will take the opportunity of forming an alliance with us to be unfavorable to our army, and there is even a possibility of defection?" ”

Shi Cundao nodded and said, "Although we are not hostile to our daughter country, we have never been friends. At this critical juncture, everything must be prepared for the worst. ”

Stilwell said, "If you want to talk about bad intentions, those girls don't dare, but that's not a reason why we can form an alliance with our daughter's country." ”

Shi Cundao stared into his eyes and said, "What if?" ”

Stilwell said: "I think so, if the daughter country really colludes with Heggis to make a show, they will not choose this time, because even if they design into Fuzhou, and then cooperate with Hegis to earn the city gate, what they get is nothing more than a lonely city, and the 200,000 Feifeng Army is in the hinterland of our army, we can eat it at any time, and the daughter country will not take such a big risk." ”

Shi Cundao was relieved: "It's good that Erlang can think of this step, which shows that at least he is not negligent, and this is the way to fight a war, you remember, there is no friend or enemy between countries, only interests are true." ”

When I listened to this sentence, which was regarded as a diplomatic truth by later generations, a chill rose in my heart for no reason - Shi Cundao did not even have the least trust in his daughter country.

Shi Cundao took out his cigarette pouch and looked around at the crowd slowly and methodically: "Then let me summarize, if you form an alliance, the biggest hidden danger is that there will be an invisible drag in the future, if you refuse, you will inevitably offend the daughter country, and from now on there will be no room for change between our two countries, you say, is this alliance knotted or not?" ”

Li Jian said: "If you look at it this way, of course, it's better not to get married." ”

"Why?" Shi Cundao asked.

Li Jian said: "It's very simple, if we deal with Hegis alone, it will be nothing more than gritting our teeth and carrying it for a while, but once we reach an alliance with our daughter country, we will be annoyed from now on." ”

Shi Dong said: "My father-in-law is right, besides, there is one more critical thing, everyone may have weighed it in their hearts, but they didn't say it - let women fight, is this thing reliable?" Everyone smiled knowingly, and Stilwell took the opportunity to say in a weird manner: "The third uncle's words are wrong, and that Zhao Fanghua is the 'God of Soldiers of the Mainland'." ”

Shi Dong said seriously: "The daughter country is surrounded by some small countries, and it is nothing more than relying on the large number of people to stand tall for so many years, and most of you here are people with wives, so it is not difficult to understand that women are sometimes full of terrible, and if you really want to gather hundreds of thousands of women's soldiers, it is indeed scary." This sentence finally caused laughter in the tent, and Shi Chi said: "The third brother has a deep understanding of this, right?" ”

The more these people talked, the more out of tune, thinking that the serious Shi Cundao didn't stop him at the moment, just laughed slightly, I can somewhat understand Shi Cundao's thoughts, there are two big countries on the federal continent, and my mother is called the "Continental God of War", and those small countries are just that, he is definitely not happy with the marshal of the first power in the continent, especially if the other party is still a woman.

Shi Dong paused before he said: "What kind of continental soldier god, it's just the arrogant words of sitting in the well and watching the sky, if we form an alliance with a group of women, even if we win the battle in the end, it will not be glorious, so I don't agree to form an alliance." ”

Shi Chi said: "I don't agree either. ”

"Me too." "I don't agree." Stilwell and Li Jian also expressed their positions.

Shi Cundao touched his beard leisurely, and inadvertently turned his eyes to me: "Gorou, what do you mean, why haven't I seen you say a word for so long." ”

I was so angry, I reached out and put the cigarette pouch he had just filled in my mouth, and said angrily: "Since you remember me, then I'll say a few words!" ”

Stinky bean is very tired, I woke up at four o'clock in the middle of the night last night and refused to sleep again, and played until six o'clock in high spirits, and sometimes I wanted to beat him twice, although he still didn't understand anything. Today his grandmother said that she would take him to live with her for a long time, I suddenly felt a little reluctant, the little guy is actually very well-behaved most of the time, just sit there alone to play, the little back is lonely, occasionally call him he will look up and give you an angelic smile, my father is really not dutiful.
