Section 27 Potential Adversaries
Since Jin Sumei has already known me, she should also know what kind of person I am, although I am also greedy and lustful, but I am by no means a villain who goes back on his word. And according to my current status, the girls who want to be my women may be able to line up from the east gate to the west gate. These two girls are so wonderful and moving, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape from the palm of my hand, their mother and master should be prepared for this kind of thinking, but Jin Sumei hopes that I can truly conquer the second daughter with my own charm.
Agreed to come to the city guard mansion the next day, and the figures of the three quickly disappeared on the gate, it seems that not only the court is paying attention to the fertile land in the northwest, but even the civil forces in the rivers and lakes are infiltrating here, this place is really tempting. While thinking about it, his mind was crooked to the two upcoming female guards, I didn't see their moving figures today, and I must appreciate and appreciate them well, and it is best to hold them in my arms and taste them carefully.
Just as I was wholeheartedly preparing to pacify the northwest, something was quietly taking place 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 room, but the atmosphere was very serious, and it was clear that some secret topic was going on.
"Juetian, how is the situation prepared?" Bi Xili, who sat on the top of the seat, 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 looked at the intelligence minister Tulu on the left, "Tulu, how are you preparing in this regard?"
"Rest assured, the Great Khan has complied with your orders, our intelligence officers are monitoring the enemy forces in the border area day and night, and a large number of personnel have 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.
"Two generals, the victory or defeat is here to fight, I hope the two can succeed immediately, I will prepare a celebration banquet for the two of you in the palace, and then we will get drunk and rest. Although Bi Xili said it politely, his tone was full of confidence in victory.
Ya Ning and Pu Tiancheng stood up with a sigh 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, "In this battle, we adopted the method of surprise attack, do not linger all the way, go straight to the destination, and occupy the city is victory." This year, the entire Eastern Continent has suffered from a drought, and the enemy would never have expected us to launch an attack in the face of a major drought. 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 Tang River 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 Maqi Khan [***] team.
"Da 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 low, 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 has been steaming, 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, do 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 Tang River Empire, would have a major impact on the Maqi Khanate, which was a major matter related to the fate of the country.
Lei Juetian gently stroked a strand of long beard under his chin, and replied unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Great Khan, I am very sure that the Tang River 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'll be 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 stakes were very high, and he couldn't help but remind him.
"Great Khan, some time ago, there was a large-scale rebellion in the northwest of the Tang River Empire, and now it has spread to the Central Plains, and they are now in a mess, and the current 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 Tang 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 as to why Lei Juetian chose to act at this time.
"Can't wait any longer. This year's great drought has made it very difficult for all countries, and although we have some troubles, after all, the accumulation of previous years is enough to cope with this campaign, and it will be at this time that the enemy will be defenseless, and our resistance and losses will be greatly reduced. Ankun City is not a large territory, but it has a rich copper mine, which is very useful to us, and the kingdom of Gemilo 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 has given us two pieces of fat from the Macederine Khanate, why do we have to push back and hinder?" 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, Ya Ning and Tiancheng are not people who don't understand the importance of the matter, 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 my Macede Khanate, I have warned them repeatedly, if anyone dares to violate military discipline, they can be killed on the spot, no matter what position he holds. Bichley is clearly taking this matter very seriously.
"In addition, the Great Khan can send a diplomatic mission to the Don Empire, and the main task is to explain to the Don people 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 proposal 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 final 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 the matter, Juetian? Are you too tired and uncomfortable? Or you should go and rest early." Bichley is very concerned about his right-hand man.
Silently shook his head, 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, Li Wufeng, this kid actually dared to go deep behind the enemy for hundreds of miles to set up an ambush, and defeated the 200,000 army led by Wule, known as Luo Pei's first fierce general, and fled, and captured more than 40,000 people, it's not easy." Bichly's tone was also full of appreciation.
"The year before last, we defeated the strong with less, defeated the Tuda troops of the Luope people with both wisdom and bravery, and this year we defeated the 200,000 army of Wule, who is known as the first fierce general of Luope, and the strength of the Luope people may be greatly reduced. Lei Juetian's expression was a little heavy, "This Li Wufeng is really not simple." If these two battles only showed his military genius, he would not be afraid, but he annexed Jinzhou bloodlessly, and easily won the favor of Situ Mingyue, for which the central government of the Tang River Empire allocated a lot of money to support him, and now he has governed Qingyang and Jinzhou in a stable manner, and the economic construction is also in full swing, and the local people regard him as a god to worship, and this person's political skills are even more terrifying. ”
"Oh, Juetian, you seem to be quite suspicious of this person. Bi Xili was a little puzzled, after all, the northwest was far away from here, and there were thousands of mountains and rivers in between, so he really couldn't figure out why Lei Juetian would attach so much importance to Li Wufeng.
"Great Khan, as the saying goes, people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, Li Wufeng's performance is really amazing, I have a hunch that one day, this guy will become our henchman. Lei Juetian did not hide his uneasiness, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart that this person would eventually stand on the opposite side of him, although there was no sign now, "This person will definitely be a disaster in the future, and he should be eliminated while the grass is in the grass." It's just a pity that our strength is not enough to deal with him now. ”
"Juetian, if you really think that this person will become our enemy in the future, you might as well make preparations now, you can make some arrangements, strengthen the monitoring of Li Wufeng's aspects, and when necessary, you can take special measures to deal with him. Although Bi Xili is not as sensitive as Lei Juetian, he will not be soft on anyone who may hinder his expansion.
Nodding, Lei Juetian breathed a sigh of relief, "I also feel that it is necessary to make some arrangements to prevent problems before they happen, and I hope it doesn't come to that point." ”
