On May 4, the Apocalypse, Deng Xian's secret fire paint letter, which was far away in the capital, also reached Qin Du's hands in an expedited way, and at this time, even the official express news of the imperial court had not yet arrived. After learning that he was appointed as the military and political envoy of the Northwest County, the ecstasy in Qin Dui's heart could no longer be suppressed, and after three years of hard work, he finally got what he wanted.

Qin Dui happily walked around the garden of the county guard mansion a few times before Qin Du gradually calmed down from the extreme excitement.

Since the imperial court appointed itself as the envoy of the military and political festival in the northwest, it must let itself quickly quell the rebellion in Meishan and Longdong counties, so that he can be a real envoy of the military and political festival.

This time, the crown prince Zhao Yan came forward so risklessly to fight for this position for himself, he must also have his own plans, if he came to Tokugawa to announce the appointment and order of the emperor's majesty, he would have to touch his bottom well.

Qin Duan stood quietly in the depths of the path in the garden, analyzing the various problems that he had not thought of just now due to his excessive excitement.

Zhao Yan finally revealed his true face in this court meeting, which will definitely attract the attention of many forces, and at the same time, it will inevitably arouse the hostility of several other forces in him.

Zhao Yan's gift is indeed quite heavy, although Qin Duan doesn't know what his ultimate goal is, at least for now, he has won Qin Duan's favor, but the premise is that it can't affect my Qin Duan's interests. In the political struggle, it is not possible to mix any personal feelings, and everything must be subordinated to the needs of interests.

Since it has been decided to quell the rebellion in Meishan and Longdong counties, it is necessary to make preparations in advance, especially the deployment of troops must be carried out immediately, otherwise the fighters will change three times a day, and it will be troublesome if they are delayed. Thinking of this, Qin Duan calmed down his mind for a while, and then returned to the study.

Just when Qin Duan was wholeheartedly preparing to pacify the northwest. Something is quietly happening in the south of the empire.

The secret meeting hall of the Great Khan's Palace in Sanglin City, the capital of the Maqi Khanate, is a very secret small conference room, which is quite elegantly arranged, but it cannot accommodate many people, and is used by the Great Khan Bishi to hold extremely important small meetings. There were only a few people in the conference room, but the atmosphere was very strict. Apparently there was some secret issue going on.

"Juetian, how is the situation prepared?" Bi Xili, who sat on the top of the house, looked very solemn.

"It is generally ready, the secret movement of the army has been completed, and the logistics and supplies have been prepared after many efforts, just waiting for the order of the Great Khan." Lei Juetian, who was dressed in black, looked a lot thinner.

Bi Xili nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the intelligence minister Tulu on the left, "Tulu, how are you preparing in this regard?" ”

"The Great Khan is reassured that he has done as you commanded. Our intelligence officers are monitoring the enemy forces in the border area day and night, and a large number of personnel have already infiltrated behind enemy lines, and there are no unusual movements of the enemy army. Tulu replied respectfully.

Bi Xili's bright gaze turned to two more generals in military uniforms, these two are also the generals of the Maqi Khanate with high prestige, the middle-aged man around forty years old is the general of Zhenguo Yaning, and the one in his early thirties is the general of Dingguo, Pu Tiancheng.

"The two generals, the victory and defeat are here to fight, I hope the two can succeed immediately. I'll prepare a celebration banquet for the two of you in the palace, and we'll have a drunk rest when the time comes. Bichley said it politely. But the tone was full of confidence in victory.

Ya Ning and Pu Tiancheng stood up with a "swish" and bowed, "Don't worry, the Great Khan will not win this battle and will never return to the court." ”

Lei Juetian also followed Bi Xili's words, "This battle. We take the approach of surprise attacks, do not linger all the way, go straight to the destination, and take the city is victory. This year, the entire Eastern Continent has been hit by a drought, and the enemy would never have expected us to attack in the face of a major drought. Surprisingly, there should be no problem.

Lei Juetian turned his gaze to the general next to him who had not opened his mouth: "However, General Mingzhong's task is very heavy, our military operation will definitely attract the attention of the Great Qin Empire, although our current relationship with them has improved a lot, but they are still very wary of us, and it is clear that they have not taken a single soldier from their southern military region so far, I am not sure what kind of reaction they will make." As for Milan and the other forces, I don't think they have the guts yet, but they can't let their guard down, so in fact, the most pressure should be General Mingshige. ”

The general next to Lei Juetian is the general of Anguo, Mingzhong, and he and the two generals just now are known as the "troika" of the army of the Macede Khanate.

"Great Khan and Lord Lei rest assured, the last general must be cautious and do not dare to slack off in the slightest."

Mingzhong's voice was a little deep, but it was quite powerful. Obviously, Lei Juetian's prestige has been fully recognized among the Maqi Khanate, indeed, in the past ten years since Lei Juetian was in power, the Maqi Khanate has undergone earth-shaking changes, the national strength is thriving, and the strength of the army has also been greatly strengthened, which has to make those military dignitaries who still have some opinions on Lei Juetian's identity as an outsider also bow their arrogant heads.

After arranging the deployment and everyone left, Bi Xili left Lei Juetian behind.

"Juetian, don't you think our military operation is a bit hasty?"

Bi Xili's face no longer had the confidence he had just now, and instead there was a hint of worry, after all, such a large-scale military operation, the reaction of the surrounding neighbors, especially the Great Qin Empire, would have a heavy impact on the Maqi Khanate, which was a matter of life and death related to the fate of the country.

Lei Juetian gently stroked a strand of long beard under his chin, and replied unhurriedly: "Great Khan rest assured, I have a great degree of confidence that the Great Qin Empire will not take other drastic actions to interfere with our actions, at most verbally warn us or send a diplomatic mission to mediate, as long as we act quickly, when the time comes, they will have no choice." ”

"Oh? Then I'm relieved. ”

Bi Xili listened to Lei Juetian's affirmative answer, and his heart was relieved, originally he was absolutely at ease with his confidant, but this time the matter was serious, and he couldn't help but remind him.

"Great Khan, there was a large-scale rebellion in the northwest of the Great Qin Empire some time ago, and now it has spread to the Central Plains, and they are now in a mess, and at present, the relationship between our two countries is good, and the object of our action is a small southwestern country that has no direct interests with them, I judge that the Great Qin people who have not suffered from the pain will definitely not act rashly." Lei Juetian analyzed in an orderly manner.

"But we can wait a little longer, and then we can do it when the time is most ripe." Bi Xili was still a little puzzled why Lei Juetian chose to act at this time.

"We can't wait any longer, this year's drought is very difficult for all countries, and although we have some troubles, after all, the accumulation of previous years is enough to deal with this battle, and it will be at this time that the enemy can be defenseless, and our resistance and losses can be greatly reduced."

"Ankun City is not a large territory, but there are rich copper mines in the territory, which is very useful to us, and the Kingdom of Jemilo is a flat country, rich in grain, and the terrain is suitable for our cavalry attack. The main thing is that the people in power of these two targets are short-sighted people who are poor and have mediocre relations with their neighbors. The world is so big, only the virtuous live, since God gave us two pieces of fat from the Macede Khanate, why do we have to push back and block? Lei Juetian and Bi Xili both had knowing smiles on their faces.

"However, the Great Khan must once again tell General Yaning and General Pu Tiancheng not to indulge in military discipline, this is a top priority, and there must be no negligence. These two places will be the territory of our Mache Khanate in the future, and good military discipline will be of great help to subduing the hearts and minds of the local people. Speaking of this, Lei Juetian's face also became solemn.

"Juetian, don't worry, Yaning and Tiancheng are not people who don't understand the importance of things, if they just want to plunder, of course they can relax in this regard, but the purpose of this operation is to expand the territory of our Macedite Khanate, I have warned them repeatedly, if anyone dares to violate military discipline, they can be killed on the spot, no matter what official position he holds." Bichley apparently took this matter very seriously.

"In addition, the Great Khan can send a diplomatic mission to visit the Great Qin Empire, and the main task is to explain to the Great Qin Imperial Court the reason for our military action, of course, that they provoke first. At the same time, we hope to strengthen friendly exchanges between the peoples of the two countries, especially economic exchanges, and we can also visit those big businessmen who have close economic and trade ties with our country and ask them to help us do our work. ”

"Very good, Juetian, your mention is very important, and it must be deployed immediately, so that our plan this time can be considered flawless!" Bi Xili was very satisfied with Lei Juetian's last opinion, and couldn't help but pat Lei Juetian on the shoulder.

But Lei Juetian, who was praised, was not too happy, and Bi Xili found that his henchman, who is usually always confident, always had a lingering melancholy on his face today.

"What's wrong, Juetian? Isn't it too tired and uncomfortable? Or you should go back and rest early. Bichley is very concerned about his right-hand man

Lei Juetian shook his head silently, and paused again, "Great Khan, you have also read this information." ”

Bi Xili's eyes fell on the information left by Tulu, and nodded, "I've seen it, the future is terrifying, this kid Qin Du actually dared to go deep behind the enemy for hundreds of miles to set up an ambush, and defeated the 600,000 army led by Ukola, who is known as the first fierce general of the Humble Hungarians, and fled in the wilderness, and captured more than 150,000 people, it's not simple." Bichly's tone was also full of appreciation. (To be continued......)
