Chapter 868: Offensive and Defensive Alliance

After pondering these things, Li Jing and Li Sanduo, together with a few strategists in the army, did not sit and wait for Li Yuanba's orders, but held a small meeting to exchange each other's opinions and suggestions.

In the end, everyone agreed on the following issues:

That is, they all thought that this was a good opportunity, after all, in order to hunt down the matter of Prince Franci, the Great Food sent an army of 100,000 in the Western Tianzhu Kingdom alone.

Among them, the early army of sixteen or seven thousand has all been hung up, and the Eastern Roman Empire can also contain some enemies, so the alliance between the two sides to fight the enemy together is only good, not bad.

Similarly, it is precisely because of these considerations that Li Yuanba's order also came down together:

Agreed to contact the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire, and also asked Weiss to send the eldest prince of the Great Food, Francie, to participate in the contact with the Eastern Roman Empire.

It seems that Li Yuanba wants to give Francie a chance, a chance to form an alliance on an equal footing.

Speaking of which, Francie is also quite content, after all, he is just a lost prince who has lost some in China and has been hunted abroad, and he can be so protected and courteous by Datang, which makes Francie put himself in the right position while being grateful to Datang.

In the face of Li Jing and Li Sanduo and other high-level leaders of Dingtiandao and Shenwuwei, Francie always put on a low posture of a subordinate country, which also made both Li Jing and Li Sanduo quite satisfied with Franci, which naturally did his best in terms of protection.

The envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire, who claimed to be Mosina, sat down as the guest of honor after meeting Li Jing and Li Sanduo, but to Li Jing's surprise, this Mosina not only spoke Chinese quite slipperily. Even the various etiquettes are very familiar, from entering the door to sitting down, he is polite, and every action makes Li Jing unable to find fault.

If it is said that this Mosina is from the effect around the Tang Dynasty, it is just that, but this guy is from the Eastern Roman Empire, which is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, which makes Li Jing and Li Sanduo more vigilant in addition to being surprised.

It is the so-called looking at people from the subtleties. Mosina is so familiar with the various etiquettes of the Tang Dynasty, and can speak fluent Chinese, which cannot be formed overnight, it must have been cultivated for a long time.

What does this mean? It shows that he in the Eastern Roman Empire began to pay attention to the Tang Dynasty a long time ago, and deliberately contacted the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that they are planning far away!

But these are all guesses, and it's useless to think so much!

……

Mosina was sincere, and after taking his seat, he handed over the letter from the Eastern Roman Emperor to Li Jing. And he also opened his mouth to explain, that is, the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor's desire to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food Francis forces, and analyzed the benefits of the Three Kingdoms Alliance by the way.

Of course, what Mosina said was definitely beneficial to their Eastern Roman Empire, and there was some exaggeration in his words.

Li Jing and Francie are not children who have just debuted, one of them has been in the officialdom for decades, and the other has lived in deceit since he was a child. So after Mosina finished speaking, both fell silent. wrinkle their brows at each other and consider their respective gains and losses.

But no matter how they thought about it, it seemed that forming an alliance was only good for them, and there was no harm, so they did not oppose it, and the three forces drew up an alliance on the spot, and formed an offensive and defensive alliance with each other.

Li Jing before making contact with Mosina. has already received the authorization of Li Yuanba, and can handle the matter of the conquest of the Great Food; Although Francie is already a deposed prince, in the final analysis, he is the most orthodox heir of Da Shi, and the hidden power in the country is extremely powerful. So he also has the right to represent the Great Food; As for Mosina, he himself had a mission of alliance, so he was also able to represent the Eastern Roman Empire.

It is precisely because of these three representatives that the Tang Dynasty, the Great Food Francis and the Eastern Roman Empire, the three empires formed an alliance with each other and advanced and retreated together.

This is a typical covenant in ancient times, they do not need to negotiate and negotiate for a long time, as long as the interests are in line with each other, in black and white, all three must be obeyed.

This is a fairly simple military offensive and defensive covenant, but there are some mutual obligations and powers, and there is nothing complicated, such as: I sent troops, if you don't send troops, the soldiers die in battle, you must compensate me money or something.

But Namosina doesn't seem to be satisfied with a simple offensive and defensive covenant, and after solving the main things, he also proposes others, such as commercial covenants, arms treaties, and even technology sharing.

These were beyond the scope of Li Jing's involvement, so he directly refused.

Li Jing's refusal did not discourage Mosina in the slightest, he seemed to have expected this kind of result a long time ago, just smiled and didn't let it go.

After that, Li Jing warmly entertained the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire in the city lord's mansion, and they were not as serious as when they formed an alliance.

……

Now that he has formed an alliance with the Eastern Roman Empire, Li Jing categorically will not negotiate peace with Da Shi anymore, after all, the army of Dingtian Dao was trapped in the ancient city of Fear Gusi for nearly half a month by the Yin method thought by Harufa, which has become a great shame in Li Jing's career.

In addition, Li Yuanba has agreed to unite the three major Tianzhu countries in the south, south and east of the country to encircle and suppress the Great Food Army, where is there any need to form an alliance with the Great Food, isn't this a pit for himself?

So, for the messenger who came to ask for peace with the Great Eclipse, Li Jing directly pulled it over, cut off his head and hung it on the head of the city, and deliberately exposed the corpse to the people on the Great Eclipse.

Moreover, in the afternoon of the same day, on that relatively flat plain, the three major Tianzhu coalition armies, together with 100,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry troops, launched an attack on the Great Food camp.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

With the sound of muffled war drums, a large contingent appeared on the plain, coming from the southwest, dressed in black light armor, with sharp spears in their hands, and a strong bow behind their backs, and under their seats, tall horses.

This large army from the southwest is the cavalry alliance of the three major Tianzhu countries.

Just when the ground was constantly shaking, in the direction of the big food camp, some cavalry also appeared, these cavalry were heavily armoured, and the war horses under their seats were stocky and looked very powerful.

They are the cavalry team of the Great Eclipse, although the number is only 60,000, which is not as large as the Great Cannibal, but it seems that the combat effectiveness is still overwhelming. (To be continued.) )
