Ma Chao wanted this sentence, and taking this opportunity, he suddenly leaned forward and said, "Bode, do you think who will win the battle between the Western Regions Alliance and the Celestial Empire?" ”

"Ahh

Ma Chao was not in a hurry, he did not urge, but sat up straight again, a picture of me is not in a hurry, you think about it carefully.

Bode was a smart man, and because of this, he didn't answer right away at this moment, but pondered the meaning of this sentence.

The Western Regions Alliance is nothing more than an organization temporarily established to resist the powerful Celestial Empire. Before that, although the Western Regions seemed to be peaceful on the surface, it was actually an undercurrent surging for a long time, even if there was no external force such as the Celestial Empire, I am afraid that it would be a matter of time before they had internal strife.

I am deeply touched by this.

It can even be said that it is precisely because of the existence and threat theory of the Celestial Empire that the war in the Western Regions that was supposed to break out ended before it began. But is this really the end? Presumably not.

Don't talk about it, let's just say that on the day when the threat of the Celestial Empire does not exist, for their own selfishness, will those powerful countries in the Western Regions come to eat a big fish and eat small fish, and a small fish eat shrimp?

On this point, without much thought, Wave will give a very positive answer.

In other words, it is precisely because of the strength and threat of the Celestial Empire that a small country like Mi has been given a chance to breathe.

So in his heart, Bode didn't want to see the Celestial Empire and the Western Regions Alliance really split a winner. Because at that time, it will be difficult for a small country like them to find a balance and find a place to stand.

In such a battlefield, Bod even hopes that the longer the better. Because war is the opportunity for some countries to take the opportunity to develop and grow, just like him now, now the strength of the army has suddenly increased several times, if it were not for the cause of war, I am afraid that he would not be able to do this in his life.

Under such a mentality, facing the question raised by Ma Chao, Bode really didn't want to answer it, and he didn't want to think about it. It's just that the other party suddenly asked this question, so he can't do it without answering. On the contrary, he needs to think about it.

I don't know why Ma Chao asked like this, but intuitively told Bode that there must be a reason for this, so he needs to think about it even more.

I don't know how long it took to think about it, until Ma Chao, who was sitting at the top, drank two pots of wine and noisily asked people to serve wine, and his thoughts were pulled back to reality. When he looked up at Ma Chao, he resolutely said: "Bode thinks that if this battle cannot be resolved in a short time, I am afraid that the final victory will be the Celestial Empire." ”

Bode's answer can be described as a racking of brains. According to the idea in his heart, the current battle situation is obviously dominated by the Western Regions Alliance, which everyone can see, but Ma Chao still wants to ask, and obviously the answer will not be too simple, so he simply gambles.

Bode was a clever and cunning man. Because of this, such a person values his own interests more in his eyes, and the so-called national righteousness becomes worthless in his eyes.

"The lord of Bode has good eyesight." This is exactly the answer Ma Chao wants. Even if the other party took the initiative to say it, he could save a lot of tongue, and as for the psychology on which he came up with this answer, it was not within his scope of consideration.

Seeing that Ma Chao really became much happier, Bode also smiled carefully. But God knows how panicked he is now, and God knows why this problem is and what will happen next.

didn't let Bo wait a lot, Ma Chao really pointed out these questions one by one. "With all due respect, although the Western Regions Alliance looks powerful, it is composed of multiple forces after all, and it is okay if it is smooth, but once there is a crisis, this alliance will face collapse at any time."

"Yes, the Chief, said it was a very good thing." This time, Bode nodded in agreement. As far as he knew, it had only been a long time before several small nations had been annexed and destroyed. And three of them died at his hands.

With what happened before, then who can say for sure that the next person to die will not be himself?

"Okay, it's good that the lord of the country agrees, that's the case, there is a saying among us that good ministers choose the lord and do things, so this leader plans to take everyone to the Celestial Empire, what do you think?" As if it was an understatement, Ma Chao told the matter of being attached to the Celestial Empire.

"Yes, yes, the leader is tall..."Seeing that the words had not yet been spoken, Bode's whole person was stunned. Just now, he was just used to slapping himself on the back, but when he figured out the meaning of Ma Chao's words, a cold sweat suddenly flowed out.

Bode was shocked, this was originally in Ma Chao's imagination. On the contrary, if the other party is still indifferent after hearing these words, then he will be surprised.

"Huh? Is there any better advice from the Lord of Both? Ma Chao pretended to be a little angry and asked.

"Ahh This, Lord Chief, is a big deal, and it needs to be discussed from a long perspective. Bode said in a very tactful tone. He really couldn't figure out why he had to defect to the Celestial Empire. Although the country is strong, the current situation is not very good.

I already knew that Bode would say this, but Ma Chao didn't answer, but casually took out a secret letter from his arms and threw it over, "The lord of Bode should take a look at this first." ”

Bower didn't know what it was, but it felt like something big was going on. So he took it carefully, and when he opened it, his face became ugly, so that when he got to the back, the whole person's expression seemed to be about to eat people.

This is indeed a secret letter, and it is still written to someone I know well, that is, the leader of their country.

After that, he is still his relative, the younger brother of his second wife, that is, his brother-in-law, because some of them are especially good at leading troops to fight, and after a few good performances, he has gained his trust, and is now serving as the general of the army.

It can be said that during the war years, this position was equivalent to the existence of the lord of the country. It's just that he never expected that this person would have already been in contact with the general of the Wuqiang Kingdom, that is, Fan Wei, one of the eight great gods and brave generals in the Western Regions. The letter was written by the other party, and it said that he agreed to kill Boy and let him take his place.

Although this is only a reply, the clever Bode can guess that it must have been the first letter written to the other party, explaining some of the things that happened in Bailongdui, and then wanting to bow down at the other party's feet and so on.

In other words, although the Wuqiang Kingdom and the Loulan Kingdom are not in Bailongdui, what happened here has already been reported. Not only that, but they are also discussing how to target themselves and how to snatch the fruits of their hard work.

"After this is finished, he is simply a brute, and he has given him the power of the army in vain how the lord trusts him." At this moment, Bode is completely a true performance, but there is no performance element in it.

"Okay, it's just a matter of getting up and turning over any waves, and the leader of this also believes that the lord of Bode can solve him when he returns. But once the Wuqiang Kingdom and the Loulan Kingdom join forces to deal with you, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to deal with. "Ma Chao has no interest in the internal affairs of the Mi Kingdom, what he wants now is to use this matter to persuade Bode to defect from the Western Regions Alliance, so that the strength of the two sides will change to a certain extent.

There is no need for Ma Chao to remind him, at this moment, Bode already knows the seriousness of the consequences, and when he thinks that if these two powerful countries join forces to deal with him, then the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands will not be able to resist at all, and I am afraid that his own life will be difficult to protect at that time.

"Lord, please save me, please save me." At this moment, Bode is no longer claiming to be the lord of the country, because he knows that the black cavalry is the straw that saves his life, and if he doesn't even save this person, then he really has no life.

"Save you? Didn't I tell you what to do? "Ma Chao said as if I was really helping you.

"Ahh Oh. Bode finally reacted, why did Ma Chao ask himself that before, feelings are his only way out.

Thinking about it, if Ma Chao didn't want to save himself, then he didn't have to show the robbery letter to himself, and now that he has not only read it, but also pointed out the clear way, then he seems to have no choice at this moment.

But is it really feasible to submit to the Celestial Empire now? If the Western Regions Alliance achieves the final victory, will a "traitor" like him have a good end?

As if seeing Bode's inner struggle, Ma Chao mended the knife and said, "What? Do you think there is another way to go? Even if it is defeated, it is nothing more than a death. But if you don't choose it now, you'll die right away. ”

"Yes, if you choose, maybe there is a way to live, if you don't choose, you will definitely die." Bode muttered to himself, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "Lord Chief, Bode is willing to follow you to the Celestial Empire, and I will fight wherever you point in the future." ”

"Haha, okay, okay." Seeing that Bode had finally made the right choice, Ma Chao was naturally overjoyed. At this time, it was also time to reveal his identity, and he said: "Let me tell you the truth, Lord Bode, it is not false that I am the leader of the black cavalry, but there is another layer of identity, the commander of the Dragoon Legion." ”

"What?" This time, Bode was really shocked.
