In the vast desert, scattered cacti are distributed along the flowing inland river, and the small peaks that are as abrupt as cliffs rise one by one on the ground, this is a barren and silent land, all the sounds come from nature, wild and full of danger, but also with deadly beauty.

More than a dozen horses galloped over, raising a yellow sand that was not high, and there was no special momentum, and immediately all Indians dressed in Apache attire were all Apaches, and the leader was none other than the chief of the White Mountains who had recently dominated the entire plateau, Esquat.

On the sand not far away, there was a group of Spaniards and Mexicans, they were also dressed in different ways, they didn't look like some unified organization, but there was some tacit understanding between everyone's actions, and there was a strong expression and gaze, which was not an ordinary person.

The Spaniard at the head had a wide face, was not very tall, wore a not very noble shirt and shoulders, pants and riding boots, although he did not look very capable and capable, but in his gaze, he was also full of a special power.

Esquart rolled over and dismounted, not smiling. For the Spaniards, the Apache were similarly lacking in favorability, except that they were behind the most hated Tang, and now the Apache needed the help of the Spaniards. In fact, for the Indians, a smile was not a useful thing, they needed ferocity to deter the enemy, not etiquette or a friendly smile.

The Spaniard, on the other hand, smiled and was a little lazy, perhaps because of his personality or out of contempt for Apache, and he said, "Meet again." My good friend Esquart. I've heard you've been doing a lot of great things lately. It's really a celebratory thing to have become the leader of the White Mountain Tribe, and this time our trade, how about a discount for you, even if it's my gift. ”

Esquart came to the Spaniards and said, "Lopez, this time we don't want to do trade, we want to do Spain with you." Form an alliance against the Tang people. ”

Lopez feigned surprise and said, "What did I hear?" You Baishan tribe want to form an alliance with our Spanish kingdom, and you actually want to deal with the Tang Republic that is in full swing, are you sure you haven't eaten your hallucinogenic herbs? ”

Esquart didn't care about Lopez's sarcasm, but said, "It's not the White Mountain Tribe, but the entire Apache Alliance, we have won the trust of the seven major tribes, and formed an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly deal with the Tang invasion of our Apache homeland. Do you think it's enough? ”

Lopez was a little stunned. He couldn't help but look at Esquart in front of him, although he had long known that this Esquart was not an ordinary Indian. But his abilities were clearly a little beyond his imagination. Lopez instinctively didn't believe it, but Esquart's demeanor and the arrogant appearance of his subordinates didn't look like a fake, so he might have really accomplished this feat.

However, Lopez's head began to spin, clearly against the Tang people, Spain will not have a chance. Lopez is not like Apaches like Esquart, he has a large number of information channels, and even went to the Tang Dynasty in person, disguised as a businessman to spy on intelligence. He may not have a comprehensive understanding of Datang, only a half-clawed, but it is enough for him to remain in awe of such a powerful force.

However, Lopez does not think that it is impossible to fight the Tang, but Spain must not stand on the surface to do so. As a smart man, Lopez felt that the Kingdom of Spain had basically lost New Mexico and Louisiana, and that the Tang people had cut off the connection between New Spain and the two colonies with a railroad, and that it was impossible to get these lands from the Tang people in the current situation of Spain. Ideally, the two countries would sign a treaty to transfer the two pieces of land to the Tang at a cost, at least not too much for the Spaniards.

The military strength of the Tang people is even more intuitively reflected, far away they bypassed the Strait of Magellan and sent troops to the east coast, helped the United States become independent, and defeated the British; Later, they even crossed the Pacific Ocean and directly sent tens of thousands of troops to defeat what may be the largest country in the world, and turned it into their de facto protectorate; Large swathes of the Asia-Pacific region have been planted by the Tang, from the Sunda Islands to Donghui, the Tang have become regional hegemons, and the Spanish colonies in Luzon have to tremble.

But even so, making some trouble for the Tang people is something that Lopez is happy to see, especially since there is a group of Apache people with not very bright heads in this matter.

Thinking about this verse clearly, Lopez said: "I see, our Kingdom of Spain has always been friendly to the tribes of the Apache, and we are also indignant at the ugly deeds of the Tang people. However, we have to report such an important matter to the Madrid side, and it is up to His Majesty the King to decide. ”

This is, in fact, the governor of New Spain has the right to choose to cooperate with a tribe, of course, to wage war against a country like the Tang Dynasty, and no Spanish official has the audacity to do so. This was actually the prevarication of Esquart, who did not know the internal administrative workings of Spain and believed Lopez's words.

Lopez then added, "May I ask you, how do you want to deal with the Tang people?" ”

Esquart had already mastered the plan, and then he came out on a tray, and he talked about some general content, which was nothing more than the Tang people's tightening of the railway, and the sabotage of the two-ocean railway, and at the same time restricting the Tang army's expeditionary troops, fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, constantly disturbing, and trying to avoid frontal collisions. It can be said that even Lopez was shocked when this theory was spoken. He didn't expect Esquart to have such intelligence. In fact, these are also from the inheritance of nature, for example, when the wolf attacks large prey, it will attack its limbs to limit its mobility, and avoid actively engaging with opponents until the large prey is tired and then use a fatal blow. It's the same with hunters, who hunt in the same way. The Mongols were hunters of nature in those days who roamed Eurasia, and the brave Apache were no different.

But to be able to transfer it so clearly to military use is at least an indication that this Apache youth has amazing talent and talent.

Lopez was also intrigued, saying, "If that's the case, I think I can still do some help to my Apache friends." (To be continued.) )
