Chapter 1229 Cracked
What Hu Chong meant was that as long as Shangguan Xiu opened his mouth to ask for it from the Solan city-state, the Solan city-state could give him at least three cities and three hundred miles of territory. γβ³Netγ
He looked at Hailey, whose face was uncertain, and said: "Three cities and three hundred miles, enough for Miss Hailey to feed her 100,000 iron horsemen, if you ask for more, then Miss Hailey's intentions in the territory of the city-state of Volo will be suspicious, and the city-state of Solan will never tolerate a big trouble, lying by his side." β
Hu Chong had a lot of contact with the Solan city-state, and he also knew the situation of the Solan city-state very well, and he could foresee some of the ideas of the Solan city-state.
Hailey stopped talking and turned her head to look at Shangguan Xiu. The latter smiled and said, "Don't worry, what I can get for you, I will definitely try my best to fight for you." β
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Hu Chong, and said: "This is a letter seized by Duweifu from the hands of the people of Ningnan, but the content of it, neither I nor Duweifu can understand it, Lao Hu, see if you can understand the meaning of the people of Ningnan." β
Hu Chong hurriedly took the letter, and when he saw the words (top secret) from the former general, his face became solemn, he opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and looked at it carefully.
There was only a short line on the letter, which was clear at a glance. Hu Chong read it, handed the letter to the generals under his command, and let them circulate it.
He rubbed his chin, lowered his head and pondered for a while, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Take a map of Duji captured from the people of Ningnan!"
"Yes!" The soldiers below agreed, and after a short time, a roll of Du Ji map drawn by the people of Ningnan was placed in front of Hu Chong.
Opening the map, Hu Chong stood up, looked at it carefully, his eyes kept rolling, and after another moment, he said, "Bring a ruler!"
A soldier handed him a ruler. Hu Chong measured the map with a ruler, then drew ten partitions with equal spacing on the top of the map, and twelve partitions at equal distances on the side of the map.
said to Shangguan Xiu: "This letter from the people of Ningnan has nothing to do with the year and month, but is to report to Xin Jiyao the location of our army. β
"Oh?" Shangguan Xiu stood up puzzled, walked to the map and stood still.
Hu Chong smiled and marked the ten heavenly stems at the top of the map, and the twelve branches on the side of the map.
Then, his finger swiped on the map, first finding the Ten Heavenly Stems, and then, his finger swiped downward, at the same level as the twelve earthly branches marked on the side, at this time, the location of his finger was the Muri Mountain, where the Third Legion was currently stationed.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu suddenly realized that the word "Guiwu" mentioned in the original letter was not a few years at all, but was reporting to the hiding place of the Third Army. This kind of secret code language is really bad for the people of Ningnan to think of.
Hailey looked at Hu Chong like she was looking at a monster. It's incredible that he can crack such a secret codeword.
Hu Chong explained with a smile: "The Duji maps drawn by the people of Ningnan are all standard, the same size, and they are not afraid of deviations in this kind of code language to convey messages. β
After a pause, he added with a smile: "In the past, our army has also intercepted such secret letters, but the content of the letter is only written separately about the Ganzhi year, and the last general didn't understand what it meant, but the letter brought by His Highness was written very straightforwardly, and it was through this letter from His Highness that the last general linked the Ganzhi year with the place name." β
Facts have proved that his cracking is correct, and the people of Ningnan did replace the place name with the Ganzhi year. Deciphering this code word is of great significance to Hu Chong, who can take advantage of the situation to decipher the specific locations of many strategic points in the southern army of Kaining.
Shangguan Xiu looked at Hu Chong with bright eyes, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, a smart subordinate like Hu Chong, no matter which boss he replaced, would like it in his heart, of course, as long as that boss was not a jealous person.
He said: "It can be seen that the people of Ningnan have mastered the shelter of your department, Lao Hu, you must transfer with the soldiers as soon as possible!"
Hu Chong shook his head with a smile, and said thoughtfully: "The terrain of Muri Mountain is complex, and it is very easy to hide soldiers, since the people of Ningnan have mastered the position of our army, then, our army can set up an ambush on the spot and lay a net on Muri Mountain, once the Ningnan army comes to sneak attack, our army can turn around and hit it by surprise and surprise!"
Shangguan Xiu looked back and smiled, patted Hu Chong's shoulder, and said, "There is Lao Hu on the Duji East Line, I can rest assured." β
After staying at the garrison of the Third Legion for a day, Shangguan Xiu and Hailey left for the city-state of Solan in Theolun.
Follow the Muri Mountain, go north for 1,200 li, enter the West Oron area, and then go north for 800 li, before you reach the capital of West Oron, Solan City.
Hearing the news of Shangguan Xiu's visit, Lord Scott Ward personally led his ministers out of the city to greet him, and invited Shangguan Xiu and Hailey into the Duke's Castle.
After the greetings, Shangguan Xiu introduced the conversation to the main topic. In Besa, he said, "I have come mainly for the business of the city-state of Volo. β
"The city-state of Volo?" Duke Walter and the ministers present were a little surprised. Dogre Locke, the foreign minister of the Solan city-state, asked puzzledly, "Your Highness, I wonder what happened to the city-state of Volo?"
Shangguan Xiu said: "The city-state of Woluo, secretly received supplies from Ningnan, transported them to Duji, and sent them to the Ningnan army fighting in Duji, doesn't the Duke know about this?"
Hearing this, the faces of everyone present also changed. Duke Walter subconsciously stood up from his chair and said, "Is there such a thing?"
As he spoke, his gaze swept towards his ministers. The ministers shook their heads, saying that they did not know about the matter.
Duke Huade smiled at Shangguan Xiu and said, "Your Highness, will there be any misunderstanding in this matter?"
In any case, the city-state of Volo belongs to a member of the alliance of western city-states, and the city-state of Volo secretly aids the Ningnan army and is the enemy of the wind army, and the city-state of Solan, as the leader of the alliance, is not easy to explain in front of Shangguan Xiu.
Shangguan Xiu said slowly: "If I don't have full evidence, if it is not determined that the city-state of Volo is secretly colluding with the people of Ningnan, does Lord Duke think that it is necessary for me to go to the city-state of Solan in person?"
Duke Walter gasped and slowly sat back in his chair as he stood up. After pondering for a long time, he said to Shangguan Xiu: "Your Highness, rest assured, for this matter, the city-state of Solan will definitely give His Highness an explanation." β
Shangguan Xiu asked, "I don't know what the Duke is referring to?"
"If the city-state of Woro is indeed secretly colluding with the people of Ningnan, I, the city-state of Solan, will never give up and will send troops to punish me!" Duke Huade said categorically.
Shangguan Xiu said: "In the Western City-State Alliance, the only city state in terms of territory area can be on par with the Solan city-state, right?"
"Exactly!"
"This is a hidden danger. β
Shangguan Xiu's outspokenness made the eyes of everyone present flash. In front of him, there was no need for Duke Walter to hide it. He said: "Our state does regard the city-state of Volo as a hidden danger, but I have not been able to find a suitable opportunity to eradicate it......"
"Now, the Duke's chance has come. Secretly colluding with the Ningnan people is tantamount to deliberately destroying the friendly relations between the Western City-State Alliance and our country, and this big hat is fastened on the head of the city-state of Volo, which is enough for the Duke to send troops to fight against it. β
Duke Walter nodded thoughtfully, this was indeed a good opportunity. Hailey wasted no time in saying, "Duke Walde, I have 100,000 Iron Horsemen of the Jinsk City-State, and I can help the Solan City-State!"
Everyone present was stunned, and looked at Hailey with their eyes brushed.
As the daughter of the duke of the city-state of Kins, everyone present naturally knows her, but people also understand that there is no good thing in the sky that is pie-in-vain, and if Hayley wants to send troops to help the city-state of Solan, she must have something to ask for.
Duke Huade smiled slightly, leaned over and said: "If we can get the help of Duke Reina, it will undoubtedly be like a tiger to send troops to the city-state of Volo, but I don't know if the conditions of Duke Reina are ......."
The court of Besa did not recognize Hayley as the Duke of Ed Rainer, but Ward did, and Hayley was referred to as Duke of Rainer.
Without waiting for Hailey to speak, Shangguan Xiu said bluntly: "After the destruction of the Volo city-state, the territory of the Wallo city-state can be divided equally between the Solan city-state and the Jinsk city-state. β
"This ......" Shangguan Xiu's words made everyone's faces change suddenly.
The reason why the Solan city-state is willing to send troops to destroy the city-state of Voro is because it poses the greatest threat to its own side, although the population is not large, but the area of the territory is there, how can such a behemoth not be feared?
However, after destroying the city-state of Volo, if the city-state of Solan shares the territory of the city-state of Volo equally with the city-state of Kinsk, it will undoubtedly lure the wolf into the house and invite a bigger and more terrible threat than the city-state of Volo.
Don't look at Hailey's exile abroad, and the Jinsk city-state was annexed by the royal court, but the cohesion of the Jinsk city-state is still there, once Hailey forms a new Jinsk city-state in the territory of the Volo city-state, then most of the people of the Jinsk city-state in the Tallinn region will migrate over.
The population of the city-state of Kinsk is larger than that of the city-state of Solan, and once all the people of the Tallinn region move to the west, at that time, will the alliance of the western city-state be the city-state of Solan or the city-state of Jinsk?
In addition, there is a more important point, Hailey's relationship with the Wind Country is too good, whether it is the relationship with Tang Ling, the Emperor of the Wind Country, or the relationship with the Emperor of the Wind Country, Shangguanxiu, they are different from others, if the Solan City-State and the Jinsk City-State start an alliance battle in the future, the Wind Country will definitely stand on the side of the Jinsk City-State.
The ministers of the Solan city-state shook their heads secretly, and it was absolutely not possible to share the territory of the city-state of Volo with Hailey, this was not to eradicate a potential threat to their own side, but to erect a potential threat to their own side.
Everything that the ministers could think of, Duke Walter could think of as well. He rolled his eyes, smiled at Shangguan Xiu and said, "Your Highness, this, the matter of dividing the city-state of Volo equally, is too difficult for a strong man. β
"Oh?"
"The city-state of Volo belongs to the western city-state, and the city-state of Jinsk belongs to the central city-state, Your Highness asked me to take out the territory of the western city-state and distribute it to the central city-state, which is afraid that it will arouse the dissatisfaction of other city-states, and it will shake the prestige of the city-state of Solan in the western city-state, and I hope that Your Highness will not embarrass the city-state of Solan." β
Hailey answered: "Duke Huade, my Jinsk city-state has never thought of occupying a territory in the west, but only temporarily living in the west, in the future, my Jinsk city-state will return to the country, I will leave the west and return to my homeland, and I also ask Duke Huade not to worry unnecessarily." β
Her words made Ward's heart drop a little. He first smiled at Hayley and nodded, and then peeked at the ministers present.
The ministers pondered for a moment, and then shook their heads at Walder. Now that Hayley is homeless, she can say all the good things and make enough promises in front of her, but once she has gained a foothold in the city-state of Volo, she doesn't want to leave again, who will the city-state of Solan go to? Can you still forcibly take it away? At that time, it will not be certain who will send troops to whom.
Either way, the stakes are too great.
The ministers' opinions, Walter received clearly, and he said apologetically to Hailey: "Although the Solan city-state is now the leader of the western city-state, the division of the territory cannot be decided by the Solan city-state. β
Hailey frowned, she didn't expect that the attitude of the Solan city-state would be so tough on the territorial division of the city-state of Volo.
Shangguan Xiu sat on the chair, flicked his sleeves slowly, and said slowly: "The city-state of Solan can become the leader of the alliance among the city-states in the west of Besa, and the Duke should not forget who is supporting. β
