Hearing this, Guo Yu was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Is Mr. Zhuge joking?" ”

"It's not."

"With the strength of your army, it is not easy to break through Tianlan." Xiao Ming pointed to the location of Tianlan on the map and said, "But if our army is willing to help." At that time, the two armies will join forces and take Tianlan City can be said to be a matter of ease. ”

"What Mr. Zhuge said is extremely true, but..."

Guo Yu raised his eyebrows: "Then where should Tianlan go when the time comes?" ”

Xiao Ming replied: "Your country has been fighting for this Tianlan for several months, and the soldiers, horses, money, and food have lost a lot, so how can we be cheeky and fight for it?" This Tianlan naturally belongs to the Northern Song Dynasty. ”

I have to say that his proposal is very tempting for Guo Yu.

As Xiao Ming said, with just a few people from the Song army, it is difficult to capture Tianlan, the first city in the world. If it weren't for that, Guo Yu would not have risked accepting the 20,000 surrendered troops.

The combat effectiveness of the Yong army is naturally a hundred times stronger than that of the descending army. If he can get the help of the 20,000 elite soldiers in the Yongying, Tianlan will be much easier if not at his fingertips.

Guo Yu was silent for a long time and said, "What about the conditions? When your army came to Xiangzhou, it wouldn't be here to do good deeds. Of course, if this is the case, Ben Jiang can only praise the high righteousness of King Yong. ”

"It's beautiful, how can there be such a good thing in this world?" Li Hongtu sneered, and then said: "There is only one condition, and that is Zhao..."

"Ahem... Ahem..."

Probably unwell, Xiao Ming suddenly coughed violently.

“… That is Qi An. ”

Li Hongtu said: "Our army helped Er and others to attack Tianlan, and after the matter was completed, the Northern Song Dynasty ceded Qi'an City to Dayong. ”

Hearing the word Qi An, Guo Yu's brows furrowed slightly.

Qi'an is the capital of Qizhou in the northwest, and although Qi'an is not sparsely populated, it is definitely not a prosperous place. Don't talk about Tianlan, even compared to Song Capital Yanping and Yongdu Yucheng, it is far inferior.

Despite this, Qi'an City's reputation above Kyushu is still not small, and every year there will be people who do not hesitate to travel to Qi'an.

All this is just because Qi'an was the main battlefield of the last battle of the Northern Song Dynasty military gods, and the burial place of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Although Qi and Yong concealed it afterwards, there was still news coming out.

When the Northern Song Dynasty military gods withdrew their troops to Qizhou, they were surrounded and suppressed by more than 300,000 troops from various countries that had already been ambushed.

In that battle, the city wall of Qi'an collapsed, inside and outside the city, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed into the sea.

The 70,000 elite armor soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty were all wiped out, but in the same way, the coalition army also paid a heavy price. Of the more than 300,000 troops, less than 30% survived in the end.

In the last battle of the god of war, when he was ambushed and his soldiers were exhausted, he even killed nearly four times the enemy army, which can be said to be a glorious defeat.

And the impact of this war is also huge, the last bit of vitality of the fallen countries has completely dissipated, and there is no possibility of recovering the country; north

Song and Xiyong could only live in a corner for many years, allowing the Qi country to become bigger and stronger.

As the biggest winner after the war, Qi took the opportunity to consolidate its territory, win over the remnants of the fallen countries, and finally become the overlord of Kyushu for a while.

"Qi An?"

Through Pang Yu, Guo Yu also knew that Qi An was captured by Zhao Qingyu's brother Zhao Qingquan.

"That's right, Qi An."

Xiao Ming nodded and said: "In addition to the supply of grain and grass, as long as the Great Song Dynasty is willing to send Qi An to him afterwards, our army will definitely spare no effort to help your army capture Tianlan." And once captured, our army will immediately withdraw to Jiangzhou and will not stay for a moment. ”

He smiled: "Dayong has given such a generous gift to your army, and it is not too much to ask for a small Qi'an." ”

Guo Yu also laughed in return, "I don't remember that my king asked King Yong to send troops to help." Now that King Yong came uninvited, and made such a request, he was inevitably suspected of taking advantage of the fire to rob. ”

Li Hongtu sneered and did not speak.

"If you don't want to, General Guo can leave, and he is willing to be a guarantee, and my king will never force him to stay." Xiao Ming chuckled: "It's just that what the situation in Tianlan will become at that time, even if you don't say it, Presumably General Guo knows it." ”

Guo Yu is naturally clear.

If he doesn't agree, Tianlan will become a situation where the three families check and balance each other, and no one dares to do it easily.

Once there was a change in the north, the Song army could only retreat and give up Tianlan. And after that, whether it is the annexation of Qi by Yong, or the recovery of Qi, it is not what the Great Song Dynasty wants to see.

"Getting Qi'an is equivalent to taking the entire Qizhou into your pocket." Guo Yu frowned and said: "Just to help and get the land of a state, King Yong's appetite is inevitably too big." ”

Liangzhou has been cast, Jiangzhou has also been captured by Yong, counting the existing Shuzhou, Xiyong now has three states. If Qizhou is added, it is not an exaggeration to say that it occupies half of the country.

"General Guo's words are good, but the Northern Song Dynasty occupies only the land east of Qi'an. Most of Qizhou was still in the hands of the Qi army. ”

Xiao Ming raised his hand and pointed to Qizhou on the map behind him, and said: "Don't hide it from the general, Dayong has sent troops from Liangzhou, and for Qizhou, it can be said that it is inevitable." And even if it is really exchanged for Tianlan with Qizhou, Da Song will not suffer. ”

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Not to mention the value of the first city in the world, just one Xiangzhou is worth two Qizhou, which is more important, General Guo will not know." ”

Guo Yu lowered his head and thought about it.

Tianlan is the first city in the world, and Xiangzhou is the first state in Kyushu, whether it is the size of the territory or the large population, it is the largest in Kyushu.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for Xiao Ming to say that one Xiangzhou is worth two Qizhou.

But Qi'an was equally important to the Great Song Dynasty, and occupying Qi'an was equivalent to firmly guarding the road from Qizhou to Yanzhou to the east. And in this way, it can undoubtedly save a lot of troops for the Great Song Dynasty to use for other purposes.

"And the benefits for your country don't stop there."

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Although there are grievances between the two countries of Yongsong, they are not to the point of being on the same footing. Through this opportunity, I can just settle it

Covenant. In this way, in the next battle of Tianlan, your army will be much more at ease, and the two countries will be saved from war in the future. ”

He looked back at Li Hongtu and said, "Of course, if we can marry and the two countries become good for Qin and Jin, then it will be even better." In this way, the two countries of Yongsong can join forces to destroy Qi and divide the world equally, why not? ”

Li Hongtu nodded for the first time.

"Everything else can be considered." Guo Yu grinned and said: "This is not good, I don't like you in a whisper, King Yong, don't think about it." ”

"You're killing yourself!"

Guo Yu's words were undoubtedly showing off in Li Hongtu's eyes, and he stood up abruptly and pressed one hand on the hilt of his sword.

Xiao Ming turned sideways, directly pressed Li Hongtu back, and then said: "At this time, we still need to think about it in the long run, if the princess of the Great Song Dynasty is unwilling, my king also has a sister." The princess is very beautiful, demure and dignified, and her age is also appropriate, so it is not impossible to marry the king of Song. ”

"I disagree!"

Li Hongtu stood up again: "He didn't marry his sister to Lone, why did Lone marry his sister to him?" ”

Xiao Ming casually pressed it back, and then said: "This is a win-win situation, and it is beneficial to both countries, I don't know what General Guo thinks." ”

Guo Yu hesitated for a long time and said: "This matter is very important, it will be difficult to make decisions, I need to report to my king before I can give an answer, and I hope Mr. Zhuge will forgive me." ”

Xiao Ming nodded: "This is also as it should be, Ming is here to wait for General Guo's good news." ”

Seeing this, Guo Yu glanced at Chen Jianzhao, then stood up from his seat and clasped his fists at everyone in the tent: "In this way, King Yong, Mr. Zhuge and the generals, the two of us will leave first." ”

Li Hongtu snorted, and Xiao Ming smiled: "General Guo will not send it off slowly." ”

The two nodded, turned and left the tent.

After they left, Qi Shen and the others also retired one after another, leaving only Li Hongtu and Xiao Ming in the tent.

"Are you serious?"

Li Hongtu frowned and said, "Do you really want to marry the Northern Song Dynasty?" ”

"Isn't that the king's long-cherished wish?" Xiao Ming smiled: "Didn't the king dream that the woman surnamed Zhao would be the queen of Dayong?" ”

Li Hongtu's face turned red imperceptibly, and then said, "But why did you mention Xiaomei?" You know, the king of Song is a waste who can't support the wall with mud, what is the difference between marrying his little sister to him and pushing her into the fire pit? ”

"It's just to stabilize their words, and the king doesn't have to take it seriously."

Xiao Ming looked back at the map of Kyushu and said softly: "An alliance is inevitable. The marriage is just a name, and King Song doesn't know what Her Royal Highness the princess looks like, so he can send a woman at will. ”

"As for joining forces to destroy Qi and divide the world equally..."

Xiao Ming smiled and said no more.
