Chapter 49 5 Compromise
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Alam couldn't help but blurt out: "Boss, are you crazy?" All those conditions were agreed! ”
Katzsius, who was in charge of staying behind, couldn't help but stay where he was, he didn't know what was going on, Aram would be in such a hurry.
Li Tianhao turned to look at Alam and Eglius, and asked in a low voice, "How many people were ambushed outside the reception hall in Khambagir just now?" ”
"Forty or fifty!" Eglius replied.
Alam pursed his lips disdainfully: "It's forty-nine, and the kung fu is not bad, I don't understand the number of the other party, but I will suffer a big loss, Eglius." ”
Li Tianhao nodded: "Yes, although these people will not pose a mortal threat to the three of us, but if they attack at the same time, I am afraid it will not be so easy for us to retreat." On the other hand, if I had been alone in the room, the situation would have been even less optimistic. ”
Alam smugly: "Isn't that because of my persistence?" ”
Li Tianhao shook his head and said: "You are wrong, Khambagir doesn't really want to get rid of us, you show so obviously that you have sensed the threat in it, doesn't he understand that I also know?" He did this to tell us that if we didn't cooperate with him, he would do everything in his power against us. Poisoning us is safer and more reliable than using force to take us down. ”
"And you drank their wine?" Alam Dao.
"It was only after I realized his true intentions that I realized that he couldn't have done anything to us. He did this only by using a combination of hard and soft to force us to agree to his proposal. ”
"In fact, you're done, boss."
"Not bad. I did accede to his request because I saw one thing clearly. Li Tianhao poured him wine from Katzsius. After taking a sip, he said, "His Majesty has already approved this matter. ”
"What?! And he told you to meet with Kumbagir? Alam's eyes widened.
Li Tianhao snorted: "What's impossible? His Majesty knew that to appease the nobles, it was necessary to satisfy their sense of honor, but he did not know what to do. Let me consult Kumbagir, in fact he may have accepted Kumbagir's suggestion a long time ago, just to see how I feel about it. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the military strength at our disposal has far exceeded that of His Majesty the King, although His Majesty has an army of 35,000 men in name, but in fact the strength of the Tyrsian army plus the Nubian mercenaries is close to 100,000, and the king's army has 25,000 men transferred under my command, plus the soldiers of the Yaki army, the actual strength is about fifteen to one. Such a large army has been stationed outside for a long time. How can you be completely at ease as a king? Moreover, there were only 10,000 king's troops left in Palchi, and it was enough to use these forces to maintain law and order and defense, but if the private armed forces of the nobles were to be gathered, it would greatly exceed the number of the king's army, and if the nobles united to contend with the king, it would be very bad, and this was also something that His Majesty had to face. Therefore, it is in his interest that Kumbagir hopes to unite the forces of the old nobility to form an army of priests, not only to counterbalance my power with this force, but also to take this opportunity to send the armed forces of these old nobles to the border, so that the nobles who remain in Palchi will not be strong enough to contend with the king. ”
Eglius shook his head and said, "Didn't His Majesty know that this would cause religious conflicts?" Is it a mess? ”
Li Tianhao smiled bitterly: "Of course he thought of this." It's just that he knows very well that I won't tolerate Khambagir doing this, and for the sake of stability in the territory, I must do my best to prevent Khambagir's power expansion, and Khambagir will also play with me with all his might, and our military superiority can prevail. Especially in times of war, and in times of peace, if there is a force in Khambagir that keeps making trouble for us. We will not be able to pose a threat to the king. ”
"That's a shrewd calculation, that's it. Boss, you're going to be a pawn dancing in his hands. Alam sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Li Tianhao sneered: "That's true, but I'm also going to do it." Rather than let the old nobles plot something in our rear. It's better to keep them around, at least we can react at any time, and we won't be caught off guard from behind; In addition, leaving His Majesty in control would also calm the country of Palci so that Alfret would be safe. ”
Everyone nodded yes when they heard this. Indeed, now that Li Tianhao has a wife and daughter, if the opposition in Palchine is too great, the situation of the mother and daughter will be even more sinister. If the mother and daughter can be brought to their side, I am afraid that Li Tianhao will not completely agree with Kumbagir's suggestion. However, in fact, this is impossible, as Mother and daughter are not only the daughters and granddaughters of His Majesty the King, but also the hostages left by Li Tianhao in Palchi, so it is reasonable that the mother and daughter will not be allowed to leave the territory of Palchi.
"Looks like we've got a bunch of troubles to do, right, boss?" Alam asked, stretching.
Li Tianhao nodded, and then said to Eglius: "Aegreus, you prepare, go to Port Potsmo tomorrow and send a letter to Governor Arina, maybe we will need the help of this countess at a critical moment." ”
"Yes." Eglius bowed respectfully.
Alam on the side patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "By the way, I also visited your master, who was tortured by Miss Count." ”
"I will truthfully relay your words to Master, and I will be able to watch the white drama when we meet next time." Eglius indifferently dropped the sentence and turned to walk towards his bedroom.
"Hey, you whistleblower! If you have the ability, you can try it, it just so happens that I haven't played with your master for a long time, let him prepare well, I am not the same person in the past. Alam shouted with his teeth and claws, and then pulled the sword out of its sheath and made a beautiful stab, and then retracted it into its sheath, and the whole action was like a smooth flow, which caused Katzsius to applaud continuously.
Li Tianhao shook his head and smiled: "You guys just stop a little, I have enough troubles here." Shagora, are you there? I have something for you to do. ”
"The villain is here, master." Shagora's figure then stepped out of the shadows.
"You come with me, and we'll talk as we go." Li Tianhao led Xia Gora to the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back. Alam hesitated, stayed where he was, and did not follow.
The next day, Arul IX issued an edict announcing the formation of the Missionary Order to go to the new territory, and at the same time recruiting nobles who were interested in apologetics to join the cathars. As soon as the news came out, the nobles responded one after another, after all, this is a supreme glory, and at the same time, the construction of a new temple is bound to be very profitable. The whole country of Palch was boiling, and civilian weapons were almost sold out. (To be continued......)
