Chapter 116: A Former Ally

Just as the New Year of 812 is approaching, Dadaran is facing a bunch of thorny problems. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As the captain of the Paz Empire, Dadaran was trusted by the most powerful prime minister in the Paz Empire, Baibasbarn, so he granted him the position of plenipotentiary of the feudal state of Bataan, and in return, Dadaran had to deal with the problems that should have been left behind by Baibasbahn.

In fact, it was not long before Dadaran took over the affairs of the Badana Territory, because the original agent, Princess Midir, did not leave the Badana Territory until a month ago and went to the capital of the country, Yekbada. It wasn't until Her Royal Highness the Princess left that Dadaran discovered that during the period when the princess was acting as the leader of Badana, although everything remained the status quo on the surface, the actual situation was completely different.

Originally, Bai Basbahn managed the Badana Territory in an orderly manner, and all aspects of affairs and the corresponding responsible persons handled things properly, which Princess Midil did not make any adjustments, but the problem was in the warehouse of the Bataana Lord. During her reign, Princess Midil procured herself a large number of curiosities and silks, and built herself four summer palaces and a winter palace, which were as luxurious as the royal palaces of Jekbada. In order to carry out these affairs, Her Royal Highness also raised a large number of related personnel, which increased the daily expenses of the territory, and the inventory of coins was reduced by more than eighty percent.

Dadaran couldn't help but sigh that Her Royal Highness was indeed worthy of being from the royal family of Paz, and she did not insult her family's reputation in terms of poverty and luxury. However, it was up to him to fill the shortfall that the princess had pulled, and if these costly projects were not stopped in time, the financial situation of the Bataana Territory would have declined significantly, especially in the event of war, and there would be almost no money to use.

Just as Dadaran began to work on these matters, another annoying thing happened—the Turks sent a messenger asking for reinforcements.

The reason why Basbarn appointed Dadaran to act as the Badana leader was largely because he foresaw that the embarrassed Tukchi would send someone to ask for help, and Dadaran happened to give him a bad move, so he simply sent him to deal with the Tukchi emissary.

Dadaran, who was destined to carry the black cauldron for his master, felt that since he couldn't hide, he would simply play the role of blackface to the end. Anyway, it's only half a face, Dadaran comforted himself in his heart.

The messenger of the Turks was a young man named Timun, a man of considerable appearance for the Turks, but a little too rough for Dadaran, who had seen the men of Pas, especially when compared to the fine gold and silver treasures he had offered.

"In the Lower Themon, on behalf of our Great Khan Abichilir, I would like to extend my heartfelt greetings to Lord Badana." Themon used the Paz language respectfully.

Dadaran hurriedly stood up and saluted back, saying, "In Dadaran, I also extend my greetings to the Great Khan of your country on behalf of my lord. ”

After the two sides were seated, Teemon was the first to speak: "My Great Khan has sent me here, mainly to discuss with Lord Lords about jointly sending troops to fight the Silk Country. ”

Dadaran frowned and said: "Lord Timon, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, I have also heard about your country's recent military defeat, and in the face of such a huge defeat, I believe that if your country still has the strength to recover the lost territory alone, it will not deign to come to discuss the matter of jointly sending troops with us, which shows that the strength of the country of silk should not be underestimated." As an agent of my lord, I do not have the authority to directly agree to your request, and for the sake of my lord's interests, I will try my best to dissuade my lord from interfering in the war between your country and the kingdom of silk. If you are offended, please forgive me. ”

Hearing this, Teemon smiled slightly, and said, "Your Excellency, you are serious. If you agree to your request, you're going to feel uneasy. ”

"Why do you say that?" Dadaranch Road.

Teemon stood up and said, "What kind of country is the land of silk?" Its country is rich, its people are well-satisfied, its products are abundant, and its culture is prosperous. The entire eastern part of the continent worships it as its suzerain, and pays tribute every year for peace. Since ancient times, the Silk Country must have included the Western Regions in its pocket, so all kinds of treasures of the Silk Country will continue to flow into the West, as the biggest beneficiary of the continental trade route, the Paz Empire, it is far better to control the Western Regions by the Silk Country than by the Tuqi. One is to ignore the benefits of the trade routes, and the other is to face the powerful sword soldiers of the Silk Country, and you don't need to think about it to know what choice to make. ”

Hearing this, Dadaran couldn't help but smile and said, "Since you can see it so clearly, please let me ask rudely, then why did you take on this mission?" Wouldn't you return empty-handed and displease your Great Khan? ”

Teemon smiled: "Your Excellency, you misunderstood, and you only said half of it below. The advantage of not going to war with the country of silk has not yet said the disadvantages of doing so. Imagine, my lord, with the strength of the country of silk, why does the Great Khan of our country dare to confront it? Could it be that the power of Tuqi is stronger than that of the country of silk? Apparently not. It can be said that Tuqi is inferior to the country of silk in all aspects, and only the warrior's bravery is better than the country of silk. However, bravery alone is not enough, and victory cannot be won without a good commander to lead the battle. And the Great Khan of our country is an unborn hero, it is he who uses the Turbulent Wild Land to compete with the powerful Silk Country without falling behind, isn't this a real hero? Adults may say that this is just wishful thinking on the part of my Tuqi people, trying to use the sky alone. In fact, when the Silk Kingdom was strong in the past, was there a time when he did not continue to expand his power westward after occupying the Western Regions? Divide and disintegrate, co-opt and deceive, and create chaos in the countries, and he takes advantage of it. If you sit back and watch the Silk Country entrenched in the Western Regions, then it is not only Tuqi who will suffer, but also Bataan. It is conceivable that the Silk Country will inevitably infiltrate Bataana and its surroundings in the name of opening trade routes, supporting its own cronies and expanding its influence in these places. Now that the Paz Empire is in chaos and needs to be restored urgently, can it really stop its development momentum? At that time, I am afraid that not only will the Paz Empire fall into a dangerous situation of falling apart, but even whether the Badana Territory can be kept in good shape is a question. In view of this, the Great Khan of our country proposed to jointly send troops in the friendship of allies with the Lord of Bataana, because in the eyes of the Great Khan of our country, only Lord Badana can compare with him, and he can be called a great hero. The combination of the two heroes will not be able to resist even the Silk Country. And joining forces with our country will surely make the lord add a strong touch to his glorious achievements! ”

Dadaran said in his heart: What a clever lobbyist, if I hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid I would really have dizzy you. smiled at the moment: "My lord's high opinion is really admirable." It is only below that I have said that the matter of sending troops jointly with your country is really beyond the scope of your duties, and it is better for you to go and convince my lord with this eloquence, than to go through the trouble with you, I don't know what your lordship wants. ”

Timon looked at Dadaran and saluted, "Then I will be bothered to be introduced by my lord." (To be continued.) )
