The red lake under the dark night is particularly quiet, the breeze is light, sparkling, everything is so peaceful and quiet, only the sound of the breeze from time to time on the ancient trees by the lake.

Two burly figures walked leisurely on the path by the lake, and not far away, several armored guards followed closely behind them. The two of them ignored it, and happily pointed out the scenery around the lakeside as they walked forward.

"Juetian, that's probably the Cui Building," the middle-aged man in dark brown chuckled and pointed to the vague buildings towering on the island in the lake in the distance, "It really looks like it tastes like a cold autumn." ”

The climate of Yuejing is very pleasant, warm in winter and cool in summer, especially on the shore of the red lake, there is no cold and heat in all seasons, a rain becomes autumn, it is really a resort for self-cultivation and surname.

"Well, it should be, I heard that the green building is the favorite of Li Deguang, the king of Yuejing Kingdom, when he rested, and it is also the symbol of Yuejing Kingdom. The middle-aged man next to him was naturally Lei Juetian, the minister of state of the Macede Khanate, and the middle-aged man dressed in fashionable clothes was of course Bi Xili, the great khan of the Macede Khanate.

"Well, I've heard that it's so decorated that people don't want to come out as soon as they go in. Bi Xili had a childlike look on his face, "However, it seems that this guy Mingzhong has ordered someone to seal it off, and no one is allowed to enter, what a pity." Bichli sighed.

"Great Khan, I don't think it's such an exaggeration, if you really want to go in and have a look, who can stop you? General Ming has his reasons for doing this, first, to protect this famous building, and second, he doesn't want to irritate the people of Yuejing too much. Lei Juetian laughed and laughed, the lord of a country was envious like a child, it was really funny.

"No, since Mingzhong has decided like this, even if I am the Great Khan, it is inconvenient to offend, but fortunately, there will be opportunities in the future, no hurry, no hurry. Bi Xili shook his head and smiled, "Everyone has a love for beauty, don't Tanghe people have this saying? This appreciation of unique style architecture is also a kind of enjoyment, Juetian, don't you like it?"

Appreciating his Great Khan's rather cautious attitude on matters of principle, Lei Juetian nodded secretly and continued, "Of course I also want to see the demeanor of the famous building, but since you don't even dare to violate General Ming's military orders, how dare I?"

"If you don't dare, you can't. Bi Xili is also very proficient in Tang culture, and uses an old saying, "There is always a chance." ”

"The purpose of this campaign has been basically achieved, but it's a pity that Li Deguang and his gang ran away, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment. Lei Juetian walked with his hands in his hands, and his vision was far-reaching.

"Juetian, the battlefield situation is ever-changing, how can you ask for perfection. This time the Mingzhong operation was as fast as the wind, and it was no worse than the last raid on Anjie Province, and as for Li Deguang running away, it would not affect the overall situation. Just from the fact that this garrison has not encountered many rebellions, you can see how bad this guy's reputation here is. I don't think even if we don't enter, the rule of the Li family won't last long. Bi Xili said loudly, "Just a few of them set up a so-called political axe in exile in the territory of the Tang River Empire, and want the local people to risk their lives to work for an illusory and unpopular family, I'm afraid it's whimsical." ”

"I'm not worried about this, although the Li family has ruled here for a long time, but the people's will is not solid, as long as we reasonably adjust the policy, lightly pay the little money, and supplemented by the army garrison, I think even if there is any trouble, it will not make any waves. What I'm worried about is that if this family runs out, it will inevitably be used by people with intentions as an excuse to peek into this land. Lei Juetian explained.

"You mean Lin Guoxiong? I'm afraid he doesn't have such courage, right? What's more, now that Li Deguang's family and those so-called exiled political axes have arrived in Zhongzhou, the capital of the Tang River Empire, Lin Guoxiong just wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, and the time has passed. Bichli was puzzled.

"Lin Guoxiong is just a possibility, and now the struggle between the various factions in the Tang River Empire over the succession to the throne has become more and more intense, and any party with strength may use this card to fan the flames. Lei Juetian's voice became low.

"Hmph, the soldiers are coming, the water is coming, if you want to get it, you have to be ready to pay, we are waiting for you at any time. Bi Xili said proudly, and his originally peaceful face suddenly swelled up like a mountain.

"Maybe I'm worried. Lei Juetian shook his head, "However, the Milanese have signed an armistice, and we now have the strength to deal with the provocation from the north." The Tang River Empire has stationed hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, fighting and not fighting, and making peace, I see how long they can drag on. ”

"It's going to be the Spring Festival of your Tang people, I think they probably have to wait until after the Spring Festival to make plans. ”

"I thought so too, but the pressure on us with hundreds of thousands of troops was too great, and they couldn't afford it, and it was very difficult for us, and I thought that if we could really stop fighting, we might as well make some concessions. Lei Juetian slowly said his thoughts.

Bi Xili fell into deep thought, and he rarely objected to the suggestions put forward by his right-hand man, but it did not mean that he did not have his own opinions, "Juetian, do you think there is hope? I think the people of Tanghe must have a grudge against us last time for our gaffe, and I am afraid it will be difficult to reach an armistice agreement." ”

"Soldiers are not tired of deceit, and they have to believe that it only shows that they are stupid. Although our territory has expanded a lot this time, the consumption is also quite large, and the army is now relatively tired, and I am afraid that if we continue to wear out for a long time, the troops will become war-weary, which will be very detrimental to us. Lei Juetian expressed his worries.

"Then where are you going to make concessions?" Bi Xili finally accepted Lei Juetian's suggestion, but he was still very concerned about which side to make concessions.

"It's not certain yet, but the territorial issue is absolutely not something to consider, and everything else can be discussed. Lei Juetian is very resolute on this point.

Bi Xili breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most worried about was Lei Juetian's concession on the territory, which was also the biggest reason why he was reluctant to agree at the beginning, hearing Lei Juetian say this, his heart suddenly widened, but he changed his mind and said: "If you don't make concessions on the territory, I'm afraid the people of Tanghe will never agree to peace talks." ”

"Let's talk about it then, we must not back down now, otherwise we will definitely be passive, and we will only wait for the Spring Festival to come. Lei Juetian also let out a long sigh, obviously feeling that the pressure on his body was too much.

Bi Xili also felt this, "Juetian, don't be too careful, even if you instruct Yaning, Pu Tiancheng and Mingzhong to handle military things, you can also arrange for the ministers below to deal with them, and you can just take care of the big things." Also, you also have to pay more attention to your body, relax more, or let Ming Zhong send you a few Yuejing women to relax, I heard that they invaded Yuejing this time and captured a large number of beauties in the palace of Li Deguang, all kinds of styles, let them send them to you, you pick a few, so it's decided. Bichly's words are unquestionable.

Lei Juetian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Great Khan, hobbies are different, you can't force them." If the Great Khan himself intended it, the Great Khan could choose it himself, but the minister really had no intention. ”

"Alas, I heard a few days ago that Li Deguang has no ability, but he gave birth to a few good daughters who are like flowers and jade, all of them are like fairies, and the folk rumors in Yuejing are even more amazing. I wanted to take two of them to play, but unfortunately I ran to the Tang River with Li Deguang, an old thing, and this is what I regret the most. Bichli sighed.

"There will be opportunities, but the Great Khan also needs to pay attention to his body. Lei Juetian said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm in control. By the way, Juetian, you are so anxious to talk to Tang Heren, but what do you think?" Bi Xili's eyes swirled over Lei Juetian's somewhat dark and thin face.

"The Great Khan, who knows me, yes, I do have some plans, but everything will have to wait until after the truce with the Tang Empire. Lei Juetian showed a confidant look and sighed a little.

"Let's talk about it first, I don't care about it alone. Bichley was intrigued.

"Actually, there is nothing new, but the original idea has been expanded and extended. Lei Juetian sorted out his thoughts, "At present, our territory has expanded by one-third compared with two years ago, and they are all relatively developed areas, especially Anjie Province, with fertile land and rich mineral deposits, which has helped our country's economic development a lot, and now the situation is very stable, and the people have gradually accepted us." Now that I have occupied Yuejing again, I have an idea to establish Yuejing Province as soon as possible and speed up the assimilation efforts, I don't think this problem is big, after all, the rule of the Li family is unpopular. ”

"In addition, in light of the current situation around my country, I would like to change my foreign policy, that is, to form alliances in the south, friendship in the east, defense in the north, and expansion in the west. Lei Juetian said word by word.

"This Yugoslav alliance is to form an alliance with the Nanyang Alliance, and use their developed commercial network as our logistical backing to prevent the impact of sanctions on other aspects of China's economic development. The military pressure of Andako and Mahad is to try to maintain good relations as much as possible, to communicate with each other economically, and to create a good atmosphere for development; to the north, the Tang River Empire has become extremely wary of and distrustful of us, and even if a cease-fire agreement is reached, it is only an expedient measure, and we must maintain a defensive posture in the north, of course, in terms of economy and trade, as much as possible, and sit back and wait for the situation to change; to the west, there are still many small city-states in the west and south of our Anjie Province and the soon-to-be-established Yuejing Province, which do not belong to the Nanyang Alliance, but to some separate or small loose alliances, such as the Burmese State and the Romanian AllianceThe country is weak and the economy is not developed, but the population is quite large, and we can choose a favorable time to incorporate them into our territory. But hold on, they must be a little worried by now. Otherwise, if they ask to join the Nanyang Alliance or join forces to resist us, it will also cause unnecessary trouble. ”

Slapped Lei Juetian on the shoulder, Bi Xili laughed excitedly: "It's exactly what I want, I also want to say that we have completed the military operation against Yuejing, is it time to continue to the west, you put forward this plan, it can really be said that the hero sees the same thing! Okay, let's seize the time to negotiate peace with the Tanghe people, if necessary, it is okay to make some steps, as long as it does not involve territory, anything can be discussed." Here, we must also complete the formation of the local political axe of Yuejing Province as soon as possible, and turn it into a bridgehead for westward expansion!" Bi Xili was in a happy mood and couldn't help laughing loudly, and even a few guards behind him hurriedly ran up to see if there was something wrong with his Great Khan.
