Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Empress's Decision

Empress Ouyang Xue's questioning made Prime Minister Guo Xian and Navy Minister Liu Yongcheng silent, to be honest, in the face of the powerful Su family's army, they really couldn't think of any good way, not to mention that now the Purple Moon Empire is still at war with Jisk and Orenza, and the Su family army is the main force to resist the armies of these two countries.

At this time, the Minister of War Yuan Lin said loudly: "Your Majesty, shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture the king first, the minister thinks that we can make some articles around Su Yi himself, once Su Yi has any accidents, maybe the Su family army will immediately become a plate of loose sand, and at that time, our Purple Moon Empire can even take the entire Su family army into the bag!" ”

Empress Ouyang Xue understood the meaning of the words of Minister of War Yuan Lin, but Empress Ouyang Xue was a little hesitant in her heart, it was not that she couldn't do anything to Su Yi, but she was worried that it would be self-defeating. "Prime Minister, do you have any good advice?"

Prime Minister Guo Xian did not immediately answer Empress Ouyang Xue's words, but asked the Minister of War Yuan Lin in a deep voice: "Lord Yuan, what are you going to do?" ”

The corner of the War Minister Yuan Lin showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth and said: "Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, after all, Ambo City is still in the hands of the third division of our Purple Moon Empire's Royal Army, if you want to get rid of Su Yi unknowingly, although it is a little difficult, it is not impossible." ”

Prime Minister Guo Xian continued to ask expressionlessly: "So what if it fails?" What should the Su family army do if they attack our Purple Moon Empire because of this? ”

Minister of War Yuan Lin said indifferently: "Su Yi can be said to have a lot of enemies, even if the operation fails, we can blame this matter on the head of the Sharad Empire or the Gisk Empire, or even the Orenza Empire, as long as the plan is thorough, no matter whether the action can succeed or not, our Purple Moon Empire can stay out of the matter." ”

After Prime Minister Guo Xian pondered for a moment, he said to Empress Ouyang Xue in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although our Purple Moon Empire still has to rely on the Su family army to fight against the armies of Jisk and Orenza, the threat of the Su family army to our Purple Moon Empire is increasing day by day, and the minister agrees with Lord Yuan's plan. ”

Empress Ouyang Xue was still a little hesitant in her heart, "If you marry the second princess to Su Yi now, can you change the current situation?" ”

Prime Minister Guo Xian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't make much sense to let Her Royal Highness the Second Princess marry Su Yi now, the army troops under Su Yi are expanding too fast, and they have become a bit of a big bully, and at this time, letting Su Yi become the concubine of our Purple Moon Empire will definitely do more harm than good." ”

Minister of War Yuan Lin hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister is reasonable, Su Yi has wolf ambitions, and he must not be allowed to become the concubine of our Purple Moon Empire." ”

Empress Ouyang Xue turned her head and asked Navy Minister Liu Yongcheng again: "Didn't the fleet under Su Yi add more than a hundred new ships after Chinese New Year's Eve?" And there are also many powerful super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers among them, so what reason does Su Yi have not to meet the fleet of weapons and ammunition of the British Ropa Empire now? ”

Navy Minister Liu Yongcheng said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Su Yi refused to send an independent fleet to meet the transport fleet of the Yingroba Empire on the grounds that he was worried that he would be ambushed by the navies of Sharad, Gisk, and Orenza, so that the transport fleet of the Yingroba Empire was still blocked in the waters near the Xiguan Islands by a detachment of the Sharad Navy. ”

As soon as Liu Yongcheng's words fell, Minister of War Yuan Lin immediately said: "Your Majesty, the combined fleet of the navies of Sharad, Gisk, and Orenza was not the opponent of the Su Family's independent fleet at the time of the naval battle of Anbo Harbor, not to mention that now the independent fleet has added more than a hundred warships, the reason why Su Yi is unwilling to let our Purple Moon Empire's Royal Army get the weapons and ammunition of the Yingluoba Empire is obviously that he does not want to see the strength of our Purple Moon Empire's Royal Army become stronger, Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer." ”

Empress Ouyang Xue finally nodded slightly, "Then leave this matter to Lord Yuan!" However, Lord Yuan must remember that no matter whether he succeeds or not, he must not let the Su family army find out that it was our Purple Moon Empire's doing! ”

On the evening of February 4, 3012 in the Tang calendar, in the best hotel in Ambo City, the second princess Ouyang Qian picked up a wine glass and said to Su Yi: "General Su, because my mother is sick, I have to rush back to Suisheng City tomorrow, I salute General Su for this glass of wine, thank you General Su for being able to lend a helping hand when our Purple Moon Empire is in danger." ”

The words of the second princess, Ouyang Qian, couldn't help but make Su Yi's face show a little embarrassment, since the army units of the Su family army occupied Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shaanjiang Province in the northern region of the Purple Moon Empire, Su Yi's ambitions for the Purple Moon Empire were clearly revealed.

"Hehe, I, Su Yi, am also from the Tang Dynasty, and I should help the Purple Moon Empire."

The second princess, Ouyang Qian, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, put down the wine glass, and suddenly a trace of anger flashed in her eyes and asked Su Yi: "General Su, there is one thing I have never understood, Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shaanjiang Province are all the territory of our Purple Moon Empire, and the Su family army prevented our Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire from entering these four northern provinces, I don't know why?" ”

Originally, the relationship between Su Yi and Ouyang Qian had already eased, but because Su Jiajun occupied Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shaanjiang Province, the relationship between the two became tense again.

Su Yi touched his nose and said: "Your Royal Highness Second Princess, although the army of the Sharad Empire has withdrawn from Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shaanjiang Province, but the Shalad Empire has not reached a truce agreement with the Purple Moon Empire, so the army of the Salad Empire may go and return at any time and invade the northern region of the Purple Moon Empire again. ”

The second princess, Ouyang Qian, smiled angrily and said: "General Su, even if it is to guard against the army of the Shalad Empire, then our Purple Moon Empire Royal Army entering these four northern provinces will inevitably be able to further increase the strength of these four provinces, and the Su family army will prevent our Purple Moon Empire Royal Army from entering, is it because they want to occupy these four northern provinces?" ”

Su Yi shrugged his shoulders and said: "Your Royal Highness Second Princess, the army of the Salad Empire is very strong in combat, our Su family army will not allow the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire to enter Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shaanjiang Province for the time being, just don't want to be held back by the royal army of your Purple Moon Empire, don't forget that in the battle of Wuyang City, it is precisely because of the unauthorized retreat of the three divisions of your Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire that our Su family army paid tens of thousands of more lives." ”

The second princess, Ouyang Qian, sneered and said, "General Su, I am about to leave Ambo City, I just want to ask you one more word, when will the Su family army hand over Dingnan Province, Luochuan Province, Lianshan Province and Shaanjiang Province." ”

Su Yi pursed his lips and said, "When I think I can hand them over, I will naturally return these four provinces to your Purple Moon Empire." ”
