Chapter 123 Buy the Prairie
Looking at Lan Keqing's expression, Xu Zhilan knew that the three of them still felt that they were too disadvantaged, and they were too far away from the original grand plan to accept it for a while, so Xu had to lie to the original plan, and he continued: "With 200 miles of territory, we can let Lan Keke work hard to develop his power, and within 2 years, cultivate a team of at least 10,000 people!" Of course, it would be even better if the team reached 100,000! We want to convince the Iron Khan that we really only want to develop the country of Hualan. When I return to Dahua, I will tell the emperor the news! ”
"Why?" Lan Keqing couldn't understand.
"First, although these 200 miles of territory are small, they are indeed the only places for Jingyang to attack Dahua. Within this distance, the supply route of Jingyang must fall on our territory; Second, tell the emperor the identity of Lan Keke, the inheritor of Hualan Country......"
"Ahh
"What's the fuss, listen to the county lord first! The identity and location of Lan Keke, the inheritor of Hua Lan Country, can be explained by Liu Mei'er inadvertently encountered in the process of escaping. Take Lan Coco to prove that our identity has nothing to do with Hualan Kingdom, and by the way, I wrote a document to admit that I am the inheritor of Hualan Country in order to lure Jingyang Kingdom. Just imagine, if the emperor can use Lan Keke to confuse Jingyang Kingdom and wipe out the elite troops of the Iron Cavalry in one fell swoop in the future, will he do it? ”
"You mean that the emperor will support the development of Lan Coco?" Lan Keqing didn't believe it.
"If Lan Keke is allowed to develop within Dahua, the emperor is afraid of raising tigers, and he will definitely oppose it. But Lan Keke is developing on the territory of Jingyang Kingdom, even if it develops well, can it still attack Lingyun Pass? And two years is too short to develop any scale at all, and if the emperor wants to achieve the goal of attracting Jingyang State, he will definitely quietly support Lan Keke in terms of policy. Now all we have to do is find a way to convince Lan Coco to listen to us and live on the grassland honestly. ”
Xu Zhilan was about to draw a bigger pie, and said very angrily: "Who doesn't want to be the emperor who expands the territory?" Therefore, the emperor will definitely support Lan Keke, in the past two years, even if the county lord has a little fault in the emperor, he will not treat the county lord well, because he needs the county lord to negotiate with Jingyang State. And two years later, the marshal of Dahua's main attack on Jingyang State must be the lord of this county! ”
According to Xu Zhilan's logic, everything is handled by Xu Zhilan's hands, and it is only appropriate for the person who is most familiar with the enemy situation to be the marshal, which was recognized by Lan Keqing.
"After the battle began, the supply line of Jingyang State was burned by Lan Keke, and the army was disheartened and easily defeated, while the Dahua army had already prepared to pursue all the way and wipe out the elite soldiers of Jingyang State in one fell swoop. As a friendly army, Dahua will definitely not fight Lan Coco's troops, and of course, it is impossible to let Lan Coco's troops enter the customs. But it didn't matter, Lan Keke took this opportunity to announce that she was cooperating with Emperor Dahua this time because Emperor Dahua allowed her to restore the country of Hualan on the grassland. Who does what is not beneficial? Speaking of this, the people of Dahua must believe that Lan Keke helped Dahua defeat the Jingyang Kingdom in order to restore. Moreover, Lan Keke returned to the country on the grassland after the victory of the war, and did not occupy the land of Dahua, just wanted a name, and did not harm the interests of Dahua. As a result, the country of Hualan was restored! ”
Lan Keqing frowned, in general terms, it was a happy thing that Hua Languo had been restored, but she and Xu Zhilan were busy for a long time, and finally let Lan Keke pick up a big leak, she was unhappy! Even Xiang'er and Qin'er are not happy!
Xu Zhilan coughed and said: "At that time, the lord of this county has destroyed the Jingyang Kingdom, is loved by the people of Dahua, has the first prestige, and is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. In a few more years, when Lan Keke's power grows bigger, we will carry out the original plan, kill the princesses, and take over the throne of Dahua by the lord of this county. It's successful, inside and outside the customs are the territory of my Hualan country! Even if we fail, we can still take Dahua's cronies and Lan Coco's troops to kill from Lingyun Pass, destroy those who are not convinced, and occupy Dahua. Even if we don't counterattack Dahua, a few of us will restore the Hualan Kingdom, and we will be considered to have completed our mission, won't we? Lan Keke's Hua Lan Kingdom is restored by a few of us, and she will definitely have to hand over the throne to the two of us! If she wants to take the throne, she has to ask the county lord's orchid magic if she agrees? ”
After fooling Lan Keqing, the first step in this incident was completed, and he took Xi'er'er's escape route directly to Lingyun Pass 200 miles away! Then we have to think about what to do after the arrival of the Dahua envoy? The best thing is to lose some money or not lose any money and end the matter!
At this moment, in the big tent of the Iron Horse Khan, the Khan sat with the eldest prince and Liu Mei'er to discuss.
The eldest prince was cautious, and asked Liu Meier again about the details of her contact with Xu Zhilan.
Liu Meier's analysis is: At the beginning, although Xu Zhilan did not know his identity as an orchid heir, he was not loyal to Emperor Dahua, which can be testified by Xu San and others; Xu Zhilan has long been yearning to live in the grassland; Xu Zhilan did not contact Lan Keqing and others after being arrested, but after interrogation, Liu Meier determined that Xu Zhilan and the four of them had already discussed their plans for the future. In other words, Xu Zhilan's determination to restore the country of Hualan is unquestionable!
After determining this point, we will analyze Xu Zhilan's interests: Xu Zhilan only controls the general defending the city to open the city gate to Jingyang State, with the least contribution and few requirements, which also makes sense, no matter how this territory develops, it will not pose a threat to Tieqi or Dahua.
After analyzing Xu Zhilan's determination and interests clearly, then think about how to let Xu Zhilan go back decently! If Xu Zhilan's face is too hurt, he will have to re-establish his prestige after he goes back, which will take a long time!
The second prince and the third prince secretly came to beg the Iron Khan to call the shots, saying that they wanted to marry the captive Xu Zhilan as his wife. Of course, the Iron Rider Khan would not agree, but the two bear children were still fascinated and found various excuses to invite Xu Zhilan out for archery or a banquet, but Xu Zhilan was not interested in answering them at all.
There is no mahjong in this era, Xu Zhilan is so idle that he makes a pair, plays mahjong with Lan Keqing every day, and does not gamble money. The transportation is not developed, and when the iron cavalry of Lingyun Pass sent a message to the royal capital, and with the consent of the Khan, Zhao Yun was led to the royal capital, and the time was already the first day of the second lunar month!
Zhao Yun and Chen Jinhong always felt that Xu Zhilan and the others must be pitifully locked in a prison cell, but they didn't expect that these four goods were happily playing mahjong with charcoal fire in the wide tent, and all kinds of comfort words that came to mind along the way were useless!
