The Governor's Mansion of the Western State.

Governor Hammer Douge walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, a tangled and pensive look on his face.

It's late at night, Hammer has just returned to Xizhou, and before he sleeps, he heard a shocking news, on the other side of the Mulang River, Wuzhou, which belongs to the Jin Dynasty, has a large-scale civil unrest in its territory, Li Xun, the governor of Wuzhou, leads the army, and more than 100,000 mobs, in Wuzhuo County, Wu'an City is now empty, only a few thousand defenders.

"Haven't you rested, Lord Governor?"

A middle-aged man in his forties walked in, bowed to Hammererzi, and said in a respectful tone.

"How did I sleep when something so big happened."

Hammer turned around, stretched out his left hand, and raised it slightly, motioning for someone to sit down and speak.

The middle-aged man bowed his head slightly, thanked him, and then sat down with Hammerezi.

This middle-aged man is called Moy, a native of the Western Regions, once a slave with a humble status, bought by Hammerezi, after contact, Hammerace discovered Moy's talent, exempted him from slave status, stayed by his side, as a staff member, so many years have passed, one is doing things in front of the stage, the other is behind the scenes to make ideas, the two cooperate tacitly, the relationship is close, everyone knows, Moy is the most trusted person in Hammerey.

"The matter over there in Wuzhou, it seems that the Governor already knows."

Hammer said: "I just heard a few words from other people's mouths, and the specific situation is not very clear, so I came to you." ”

"The situation over there in Wuzhou is very bad......"

Moy told the details of Wuzhou completely.

After hearing this, Hammereqi's whole person fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he silently said: "Wuzhou chaos, this is a good opportunity for us." ”

Moy glanced at Hammerezy, did not hurry to speak, he has followed Hammerace for almost twenty years, for Hammerace person, Moy knows himself very well, on the surface always has a smiling and good old face, gentle and humble personality to make people feel a little weak, in fact, he is gloomy, very urban.

Hammererzi's full name is Hammerezy Rahman, and his Rahman family is one of the five most powerful families in the Big Stone Empire, but Hammererzi's status in his family is not high, because his mother is only a slave, and Hammererqi has paid too much to achieve this position today.

After Hammereqi came back, it was so late, the first thing he looked for was himself, his original intention was not just to learn the details of Wuzhou from himself, and the sentence he just said was also something in his words, if Hammereqi had the intention to take advantage of the chaos in Wuzhou to send troops to fight across the Mulang River, then he should not look for himself, but to find those generals who can fight in battle, so Hammerezi's last sentence has a deep meaning.

Moy asked softly, "Lord Governor, what is the Empire's attitude towards the Jin Dynasty?" ”

Hammereye glanced at Moi appreciatively, his thoughts always on the same line as his own.

Hammer Euzy asked about the situation in Wuzhou, just on the surface, for Wuzhou, Hammer Euzi did not take it to heart, the important thing was the attitude of the empire towards the Jin Dynasty, war is the continuation of politics, between the two countries, talk about politics first, and then war.

"On his return to Marmara this time, Hamid summoned me, and he was very interested in the matter of trade with the Jin Dynasty, and said that he would try his best to persuade His Majesty the Emperor to facilitate this matter."

Moy said: "In this way, Hamid's attitude has been very clear, he does not want our side to have any disputes with the Jin Dynasty. ”

"Not bad."

Hammer nodded and said: "Hamid is in charge of finance, although he can't meddle in local military affairs, but after all, he is the vizier of the empire, His Majesty the Emperor trusts him very much, and his opinion can greatly affect the decision-making of His Majesty the Emperor, so I don't dare to act rashly until I see the true intentions of His Majesty the Emperor, it's so late, I came to you, I just want to hear your opinion, and tomorrow morning, I'm afraid everyone will force me to send troops to Wuzhou, before that, I must see the right direction." ”

The three most powerful official positions in the Dashi Empire are the emir, the head of the hundred officials, in charge of the imperial government affairs, equivalent to the right minister of the political hall of the Jin Dynasty, the two viziers, one is in charge of the military affairs of the empire, and the other is in charge of the imperial finances, Hamid is in the vizier, in charge of the finances of the entire Dashi Empire, although he cannot meddle in other affairs except finance, but he is one of the three most powerful people in the entire empire after all, and his attitude may represent the true attitude of the entire Dashi Empire.

As the five giants of the Dashi Empire, the three most powerful official positions in the empire have been more than forty years, and no one from the Rahman family has held them, so when it comes to some strategic issues related to the fate of the empire, Hammererzi cannot get strong support from the family, and can only rely on himself, and Hammererqi has to be cautious.

Moy was silent, his mind racing, and Hammer sat on the sidelines, silently drinking tea and eating snacks, not disturbing his thoughts.

After a long time, Moy finally spoke: "Your Excellency, we may be able to think more simply. ”

Hammerezi asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Moy said: "Let's put aside other questions for the time being, we just want one point, defeat Wuzhou, what can you get, Lord Governor?" ”

Listening to Moy's words, Hamey's whole body shook slightly, yes, Wuzhou is now in civil strife, the defense is weak, raise 20,000 elites in Xizhou, and capture Wuzhou, it shouldn't be a big problem, but what about after defeating Wuzhou? What benefits can you get?

He is the governor of Xizhou, here is his own everything and fundamental, the Jin Dynasty and Dashi, its comprehensive national strength can be said to be up and down, their own capture of Wuzhou, maybe just a beginning, a series of wars will start because of this, once the Jin Dynasty vigorously counterattacked, the first to bear the brunt, is themselves, at that time, the empire can give itself enough help? Even if he really gives help, when the time comes, I am afraid that he will be reduced to a subordinate, and he can still occupy a dominant position in Xizhou?

Thinking of this, Hammer nodded silently, and said lightly: "The Jin Dynasty and Dashi have just established a peace covenant, and our relationship is friendly and peaceful, and now they are in a dangerous situation, out of morality, we should support them." ”

With a smile on his face, Moy stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, your wise decision has illuminated the way ahead for us. ”
