Guo Jia and Jia Xu were in charge of the Ascending Terrace and were in charge of the intelligence organization of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The news they brought from Dongjiang was certainly not as simple as a military intelligence report.

The old slave retired. ”

Leaving the twist respectfully saluted, he left the imperial study.

The affairs and reports brought by the Tiantai are the most confidential matters of the Great Xia Dynasty, and without the permission of the emperor, no one can observe, not even the old man who is a confidant of Lihuazi.

As Liwuzi left the imperial study, Guo Jia and Jia Xu came together.

"Meet the Emperor. ”

"Meet the Emperor. ”

The two saluted respectfully and bowed, and Su Chen waved his hand: "Flat, let's say, what happened in Dongjiang?"

Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia and motioned for him to introduce.

Jia Xu's personality is relatively low-key, and he refuses to stand up at critical moments, even in the housekeeping of the rooftop, most of them are handled by Guo Jia and Zhu Ji, and Jia Xu is responsible for some more shady things.

"Back to the Emperor, fifteen days ago, the Orc Empire sent an envoy to deliver a letter of peace. ”

Guo Jia saluted respectfully and said to Su Chen: "General Si Long can't make a decision at this time, so please go to the rooftop to submit information back to the palace and ask the emperor to decide this matter." ”

"The Book of Peace?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and then frowned and thought deeply.

The Great Xia Dynasty is indeed very powerful, in the entire Central Desolate Terran Race's major kingdoms, the Great Xia Dynasty can be regarded as the top Terran Empire, and in the earlier years, the Great Xia Dynasty was known as the most powerful empire among all the races in the entire Eight Desolations Continent.

Although the current Great Xia Dynasty has greatly reduced its national strength, it is still a thin camel bigger than a horse, much stronger than many small and medium-sized racial empires.

But even so, Su Chen didn't think that the Orc Empire had a reason to submit a peace request to the Great Xia Dynasty.

Judging from the current situation in the Middle Wilderness, the Orc Empire is stronger than the Great Xia Dynasty's national strength, and it is the existence of the Big Mac Empire in the entire Middle Wilderness;

According to the general diplomatic practice, only the defeated side and the weaker side will take the initiative to submit a peace request, ceding a part of its own interests, and praying that the stronger side will raise its noble hand.

In the last thousand years, there has been only a precedent for the Great Xia Dynasty to submit a peace request to the Orc Empire, and there has never been a precedent for the Orc Empire to take the initiative to bow to the Great Xia Dynasty.

So, what is the reason why the Orc Empire sent an envoy to contact the Eastern Frontier Fortress and wanted to take the initiative to submit a peace request?

Su Chen frowned, raised his head, looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and asked, "Two Aiqing, what do you think the Orc Empire intends to do this?"

"According to the report from outside the platform, the orc empire's request for peace was strongly presided over by the high priest, and the main purpose was to ransom the 110,000 orc captives and orc generals who were captured by General Si Long. ”

Jia Xu took the initiative to speak, and said: "Two months ago, the Military Aircraft Pavilion proposed to submit a list of supplies and a request for money to the Orc Empire as a condition for exchanging orc captives and orc generals; ”

As soon as Jia Xu reminded him, Su Chen suddenly realized.

After doing it for a long time, the orc empire put its posture so low, it turned out that it wanted to redeem the orc captives and orc generals who were defeated at the beginning.

If it weren't for the orc empire taking the initiative to send an envoy, Su Chen would have almost forgotten about this matter.

In the recent battle in Eastern Xinjiang, Si Long's soldiers made dangerous moves, closed the door and beat dogs, and wiped out millions of orc armies in one battle, which was a big blow to the orc empire.

For the Orc Empire and the Great Xia Dynasty, although they have the strength to organize millions or even tens of millions of troops, under normal circumstances, the number of armies that are prepared for war all year round is not too much, because it involves a problem of military spending and affecting domestic development.

The standing army will not participate in the development of any field in the country, but will need to consume a lot of resources in various fields of the country.

As long as he is a sane king, he is unlikely to engage in reckless and retarded behavior in non-critical wars.

This is also the reason why the Great Xia Dynasty has more than a billion people, but only a few million troops (including the city guards and county soldiers of the ten major counties).

The Orc Empire is warlike by nature, and the number of standing armies is much more than that of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the number of miscellaneous armies in the country is about 10 million.

"Hmm....."

Su Chen groaned slightly, he didn't know why, he always felt that the Orc Empire's move was a little abnormal.

At the beginning, Su Chen instructed Sima Yi to draw up a list and submit it to the Orc Empire, which was more of a deterrent act, and he didn't really intend that the Orc Empire would comply.

But now that the Orc Empire has taken the initiative to submit a peace request, a country that is stronger and hostile than the Great Xia Dynasty has taken the initiative to bow its head, which has to make people vigilant.

In this, there are some other cats.

At this moment, Guo Jia took the initiative to speak: "The loss of one million beast troops in the battle of Eastern Xinjiang is not a big injury, but it also makes the orc empire turbulent and excited. ”

"These days, the orc empire is mainly divided into the main battle faction and the main peace faction, one side wants to organize a large army to retaliate against Great Xia, and the other side is the main peace faction headed by the high priest, who wants to stabilize and develop the domestic economic situation. ”

Guo Jia's voice was calm: "According to the minister's humble opinion, the high priest should really be unwilling to continue to fight with the Great Xia Dynasty and waste national strength, according to the secret report, he has advised the Beast King to carry out domestic reforms seven times. ”

Su Chen smiled: "He wants to emulate Shang Ying?"

"Yes. ”

Guo Jia and Jia Xu nodded, they both thought that the high priest was more enthusiastic after seeing the results of the reform of the Great Xia Dynasty, and wanted to copy the past and reform the country.

As long as a country wants to vigorously develop its own national strength, it is generally reluctant to take the initiative to fight foreign wars.

"I can't see that this high priest has some skills. ”

Su Chen's eyes were deep, and his tone was a little cold.

If the Orc Empire followed this excuse to take revenge on the Great Xia Dynasty, Su Chen would be relieved, but the High Priest was very abnormal, this person could distinguish the situation, and knew that at this time, it should be an arms competition and a national strength competition with the Great Xia Dynasty, not a simple retaliatory war.

Although the Eastern Frontier guarded by Su Long is not foolproof, it is also difficult to attack, and the death of a million orcs two months ago is the best example.

If too much energy is invested in attacking the Great Xia Dynasty, then the Orc Empire can only watch the Great Xia Dynasty become stronger than itself day by day, until the time is ripe, and the Orc Empire will eventually be defeated by the Great Xia Dynasty.

The High Priest can discern the situation, he will not be blinded by hatred, and he will always remain calm and reasonable, which is the most difficult enemy.

"Sure enough, the dog that doesn't bark is the most ferocious. ”

Su Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The High Priest has a very high reputation in the Orc Empire, and is highly regarded by the Beast Lord, and the status of the High Priest is similar to that of the Prime Minister of the Terran Empire, or even better.

Such a big man is just a dog in the eyes of the emperor?

The emperor's vision is supreme, and it is indeed very accessible.

"In the past two months, there has been a lot of fighting within the Orc Empire, and in the end, it was the High Priest who won the support of the Beast King, and the Lord and the faction won, so there will be peace envoys to visit the Eastern Frontier. ”

Guo Jia continued: "Although the Lord and faction led by the high priest won, it was not easy, and the high priest paid a lot of price for it; even the only daughter who was extremely favored under his knees married to important personnel of the main war faction for political marriage, and the Lord and faction could only be said to have won a miserable victory. ”

"It seems that the High Priest has quite a few powerful political enemies in the Orc Empire. ”

Su Chen smiled and asked, "Two Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and Jia Xu opened his mouth and said, "The minister thinks that he can refuse to sue for peace." ”

Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty: "Since the high priest wants to emulate Great Xia to carry out domestic reforms, then he will definitely not be able to do what he wants! The minister suggested, refused to sue for peace, provoked it, sent out a large army, prepared for the war in the eastern frontier, and forced the orc empire to start a war with Great Xia!"

"If you can, the minister suggests...... Let Si Long make a move first and kill the peace envoy sent by the Orc Empire!"

Jia Xu's voice was full of undisguised killing intent.

Killing the peacemaker is the greatest humiliation for a country.

Jia Xu knew very well that if he did this, he would definitely make the Great Xia Dynasty and the Orc Empire bleed, and countless soldiers would die on the battlefield.

But for the sake of the Great Xia Dynasty, he must stand up and admonish the emperor!

The Great Xia Dynasty was able to complete the reform through the negligence of the Orc Empire, which can be said to be an irreproducible success;

When necessary, they can take the initiative to provoke a war and drag the orc empire into the quagmire of war in the eastern frontier.
