Less than three days after the signing of the alliance treaty between the Chinese Empire and the Republic of Liaodong, it had spread throughout the land of China, among which the princes who were in a neutral wait and see were Liu Zhang, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Cao Mengde of Bingzhou, Sun Ce of Lingnan, and Zhou Yu of Huainan.

In a semi-hostile state with it are Xiliang Ma Chao and the Southeast United Republic Liu Bei.

Chengdu, the capital of the Republic of Yizhou

The Republique building was crowded with people, and Liu Zhang held a meeting on the occasion of receiving an alliance between the two countries in the east to discuss whether the Chinese Empire's request for an alliance a few days ago was in the interests of his country.

"Your Excellency, I think we are far away from the Chinese Empire, if we form an alliance, it can bring us a lot of benefits, and we don't have to bear the obligation of coordinated operations, and our resources are now mainly exported to the Guangling Port of the Chinese Empire through the Yangtze River waterway, so if we take the express train of the Chinese Empire, it will make us develop greatly!" Li Yan was the first to speak.

"I don't agree! I think this will incur Ma Chao's revenge, last time in Hanzhong we lost to Ma Chao, but Zhang Lu knew that we had a deep hatred for the prime minister, in order to fight against Ma Chao, he was willing to attach himself to us, it really led the trouble, we didn't get any benefit from Hanzhong. Zhang Lu is still the ruler of Hanzhong, but we have a bad reputation of competing with Ma Chao for Hanzhong! It is better to reject the Chinese Empire's request for an alliance and join the Triple Alliance led by Ma Chao! How about dedicating Hanzhongjin to Ma Chao? Zhang Song suggested.

"Hmph, what a traitor to the country and seek glory! Shaft! Hanzhong originally belonged to us, and now it is occupied by Zhang Lu, we should take Hanzhong before Ma Chao attacks, eliminate internal troubles, I think with the help of the war loan of the Chinese Empire, we can completely defeat Zhang Lu! Regain Hanzhong! Moreover, Ma Chao is not enough evidence! Now that we have joined the alliance circle of the Chinese Empire, the strength of the Chinese Empire will definitely not let us fight against Ma Chao alone! So we can expect a lot of things! Huang Quan snorted coldly.

"That is, I think it is much better to join the alliance circle of the Chinese Empire than to kneel down to Ma Chao and beg for mercy and reparations, you must know that the purpose of this alliance of the Chinese Empire is to fight against the Triple Alliance of the Xiliang Republic, the Southeast United Republic, and the Jizhou Republic! We can take advantage of this wind to level Hanzhong in one fell swoop and keep Yizhou for a hundred years! Fa Zheng said with a smile.

Listening to the advice of the main officials below, Liu Zhang didn't pay attention, and thought about it carefully, what several people said seemed to make sense, but he was weak by nature, so he didn't want to offend the Chinese Empire, and he didn't want to fight with Ma Chao, so he fought fiercely in his heart.

Li Yan saw Liu Zhang's incessant appearance, pinched his knuckles and said: "We are now surrounded by enemies on all sides, there are many soldiers and few generals, there are no military generals who can handle it, the barbarians in the south are invading day by day, the Hu people in the west are blocking my west road, the north is facing the threat of Ma Chao, and the east is Liu Biao and Sun Ce, the two wild wolves!" If we don't seek an alliance to help us quell the rebellion around us, then the foundation will not last for 30 years, and we will die! “

"That is, now that the southern Tai, Cotton, Plagiarism, Shan, Manipur and Nanban Mengshu are harassing the southern prefectures and counties of Yizhou all the time, and our army's military strength is weak and needs to be strengthened, but it is facing the embarrassing situation of lack of funds, so if we can get a loan from the Chinese Empire, we will be able to pacify the Nanban! Restore the majesty of the Han family! Prime Minister, don't you want to be a great man of our time? Huang Quan suggested.

Since he can't compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, it is better to use Liu Feng's economic strength to develop southward, it is said that the south is the vast ocean in the distance, so an attack will also find the sea outlet! Isn't it cool and crooked!

"Good! In accordance with your thoughts, we contacted the envoys of the Chinese Empire and came to agree on the details of the treaty! Either way, our safety is guaranteed for the time being! Guys, get ready! Liu Zhang laughed.

"My subordinates understand!"

Presidential Palace

Liu Feng was reading the newspaper, and the newspaper news in the past few days was very explosive, on the one hand, the Chinese Empire and the Liaodong Republic had signed an alliance treaty, and on the other hand, the news that the Xiliang Republic and Jizhou had decided to conduct joint military exercises at the end of the year also made the headlines of the Yuedan Commentary.

The United Republic of South-East and the Republic of Huainan have been in close contact and are negotiating a treaty, but today the situation is becoming more and more unclear.

"Your Excellency President, Special Envoy Pang Tong is back, and he will arrive at Qiaocheng Railway Station in half an hour!"

The secretary reported.

Liu Feng raised his head, threw the newspaper in his hand on the table, stood up and said, "Well, send someone to greet you!" “

"Well, it has been sent, and it is rumored that 100,000 people have gathered near the railway station to welcome the return of the envoy of Pang Tong!"

The secretary cautiously reported.

100,000 people? Spontaneously? It seems that the people in the country are really as Pang Tong said on Qinglong Mountain, they don't know the strength of the Chinese Empire, and they only see that the other vassal states are united, and they become sincerely afraid.

"Go, since they are willing to welcome Pang Tong's return, let them go, we can't discourage their enthusiasm, and strengthen the security work of the Qiaocheng Railway Station, mobilize the patrols of nearby states and counties to enter the Qiaocheng to maintain order, and strictly prevent people from sensationalizing!" Liu Feng explained.

"My subordinates will do it!"

After landing on Yuzhou Island, Pang Tongtong took the train to Qiaocheng, and after a three-day journey, he was almost at Qiaocheng, and the nearby buildings began to grow taller and look very magnificent.

"Your Excellency, we'll be in the city soon!" casually, the official saw that Pang Tong was still sleeping and reported.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Pang Tong Shenshen lazily smiled: "We're going home!" Tell us to go down, cheer up, this time it is estimated that many people will welcome us! “

"Really? Your Excellency! “

"Of course! Go and command! “

The train clattered, and the sound of blowing and blowing came to a halt.

It's time to stop!

Pang Tong straightened his clothes, opened the car door, and the crowd at the station outside was black.

This scene is a bit exaggerated!

"Look, it's an envoy! It's an envoy! He brought us an alliance of peace! Praise to the President! ”

"It's an envoy! Although it's a little ugly, it does have the ability! Yes... Why are you hitting me? ”

"You're ugly, your whole family is ugly, I'll kill you...."

"It's just, it's stupid! Don't speak, don't speak! “

The crowd below was very lively, chattering.

"It's all gone! In fact, as long as everyone is willing to do their best for our Chinese Empire, they are a useful Chinese Empire person! There is nothing special about me, it is nothing more than the appreciation of the president! Pang Tong finished speaking and walked off the train.

"See? This is the realm! “

"Praise the president, praise the envoy!"

"Tsk, it would be nice if my son could be so good in the future!"

"You think it's beautiful, how can your son's appearance be compared to that of the envoy!"

"What are you talking about? Say it again! ”

Pang Tong didn't care about the people who were babbling below, and walked straight to the imperial officials waiting to be received in the distance.

The crowd automatically moved out of the way, the delegation was warmly welcomed, and the car waiting for reception had already been prepared, until Pang Tong and the others got into the car and disappeared, and the crowd could not disperse for a long time. (To be continued.) )
