Chapter 212: Erma Persuades Lu An nodded
Lu An, who has always been observant of people, did not notice the cunning and sourness that flashed in Erche's eyes when he showed his nervousness and concern for Qingchen.
The Central Plains and the Western Regions are separated by thousands of miles, and if something really happens to Qingchen who is far away in Qiuzi, it is really beyond his reach to stay here.
What's even worse is that with the strength of the Turkic cavalry, it is indeed impossible to resist, and with the barbaric habits of the Turks, it is not surprising at all to capture the Western Regions.
It's a pity that the 100 people he left in Qiuzi couldn't effectively train an armed force that could defend against foreign enemies in just one year.
So, no matter what, he has to find a way to stop Erma's crazy thoughts!
But the next moment, Lu An frowned, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he smiled coldly and sarcastically, "You want to attack the Western Regions?"
Hehe, the idea is good.
It's a pity you can't fool me!
If I'm not mistaken, although the Central Plains is in chaos, you Turks are not much better.
Didn't your beggar uncle already stand on his own feet and fight against your father Khan? ”
Concern is chaos.
It wasn't until the last moment that Lu An suddenly remembered that before he and Erma came back together, he learned the fact that the Turks had been divided internally.
In this case, even if Erma had the heart to encourage Shaporo Khan to attack the Western Regions, I'm afraid he would be powerless, right?
"Yes, you can think of that, it doesn't seem too stupid."
Erma didn't deny Lu An's speculation, and immediately blurted out praise.
Especially when Ruma turned around and looked at him, he saw the expression on his face when he first met him in the Light Smoke Pavilion.
Shrewd, wise, and deep-minded!
Just as Lu An was observing Erma and was in a trance, he heard Erma say again.
"Lu An, Ming people don't say dark words."
"Since I regained my memory, I've noticed a problem."
"I don't know why you are a gentleman in the eyes of others, but at least, in my eyes, you are not."
"The son of the richest man in the capital was once reduced to the Qinglou Clan, if he is really like a loser who does not learn and knows no skills in the eyes of others, forget it."
"But what I don't understand is that a useless loser can actually make songs like "Water Tune Song Head" and "Queqiao Immortal" and so on?"
"If that's the case, then it can only be said that your Great Xia Kingdom is really full of talents!"
"It's a pity that others don't know, at least I've lived with you for a while!"
"A loser, can come up with a way to distill water in the drought and desperate situation of the Western Regions?"
"To be able to take more than a thousand people to sabotage the elaborate plans of the Beggars Khan?"
"Can you revive your family's reputation through Duxiu Fang and Sanssouci Fang?"
"To be able to have such a ......"
Halfway through, Erma stopped abruptly and smiled and waved her hand.
"You don't have to be so nervous."
"Your affection for that Queen of Guizi is no secret to me."
"I'm not going to threaten you with her yet."
"The opposite is true."
"What I want to tell you is that it is not my father Khan, let alone me, who is going to deal with that Queen of Qiuzi."
"It's my Uncle Beggar!"
"Uncle Qisi has gotten the news and knows that I am not dead yet, and has returned to Jinshan."
"After returning to Father Khan, Father Khan's body has regained his health, which is what Uncle Qisi is worried about."
"Lu An, to tell you the truth, now for us, the real urgent problem to solve is not the contradiction between us and the Central Plains, but the suppression of Uncle Qisi's rebellion!"
"Moreover, not long ago, we have received news that after learning that I have returned safely, the Khan of Qisi will no longer dare to fight his father Khan head-on, and is eager to expand to the west and southwest in order to gain a place to survive!"
"At the same time, we also found a news, from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, there has been a caravan coming and going frequently recently, as for who this caravan belongs to, others don't know, but they can't hide it from me!"
"I have to admit that the escort force of that caravan is indeed good, and it is even enough to make the defenders of the counties and towns in the Hexi region nervous."
"But you definitely don't know, it is precisely because Uncle Qisi is afraid of my father Khan's revenge that he is planning to capture Hexi and even the Western Regions in order to get a place to live!"
"Lu An, you can imagine that if Uncle Qisi really takes the counties and towns in Hexi, will your caravan continue to travel back and forth between the Central Plains and the Western Regions?"
"If this trade route is cut off, will you be able to continue to communicate with that Queen of Guizi?"
"If you cut off contact with each other, with Uncle Qisi's temperament, will you still watch the Western Regions continue to be independent!"
The more Lu An listened, the more frightened he became, and subconsciously asked, "Erma, what do you mean?" ”
"Cooperation!" Erma bullied Lu An and said indifferently, "Cooperation between you and me!" ”
Lu An almost laughed out loud when he heard this.
Of course, he was worried that Qisi Khan would endanger the Hexi trade route and the situation in the Western Regions, but with his strength, what qualifications did he have to cooperate with the Turks?
I think so much of him!
However, Erma didn't continue to look at him, but said to herself, "I believe that Lord Chu Yin should have mentioned it to you before you came here, right?" ”
"As long as you agree to cooperate with us, I will definitely persuade my father Khan, lead troops to assist Pu Zhen, and first wipe out all the forces that Uncle Qisi has infiltrated into the Hexi area!"
"Even the two of us have joined forces to force Uncle Qisi's forces back away from the Western Regions!"
"Of course, in addition to that, we can also promise that after helping you clear Uncle Qisi's influence in Hexi and the Western Regions, we will also help you continue to deal with the threat of the Great Xia Court to you and King Xia Gang of Sui!"
"Lu An, you are a smart person, you should know that the cooperation between us is only good for you, and there is no harm!"
"Huh!" After Erma finished speaking, Lu An immediately sneered.
"Erma, you keep saying that the cooperation between us is entirely for us, but you don't mention the benefits to you at all."
"Since it is a cooperation between the two sides, how can it be that all the benefits belong to us?"
"I'll tell you for you!"
"First, the reason why you want to help us drive away the influence of Qisi Khan in Hexi and the Western Regions is nothing more than to eliminate the bad influence of the civil strife between Qisi Khan and your father Khan, and to unify the Turks again!"
"Second, you said that helping us deal with the Great Xia Imperial Court is just to profit from it, maybe we can take advantage of the fact that we and the Great Xia Imperial Court are fighting to the death, and obtain greater benefits for you!"
Slap, slap, smack-
Erma applauded slowly, and looked at Lu An with a light smile.
"I'm really not wrong, to say that you are a second ancestor is a complete joke!"
"I got to the heart of the problem at once, and it was really extraordinary."
"But, Lu An, what if you're right?"
"Not bad!"
"The Ming people don't say secret words, and the cooperation between us is indeed beneficial to our Turks."
"But so what!"
"I only ask you, yes or no!"
"Don't worry, before I left Jiankang City, I made an oath that even if this alliance fails, I will definitely promise that I will let you return to the Central Plains safely, and I will never embarrass you."
"But you have to think clearly,"
"In case the alliance between you and me fails, not only Hexi and the Western Regions will fall into the hands of Uncle Qisi, but what will happen to your Queen Qiuzi, you can think for yourself."
"Another point is that the day you leave is the day my father Khan and the Lord of Phantom Cloud get married!"
"At that time, my father Khan will definitely form an alliance with the Great Xia court, and in turn deal with you and King Sui!"
"I've said everything that needs to be said, think for yourself!"
When Lu An heard this, his two eyebrows went up, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at Erma playfully.
"Even if I promise to form an alliance with you, will you marry me again?"
Erma's nose twitched, and she nodded through gritted teeth, "Yes!" ”
"If it weren't for these things carved on my forehead by you bastard, I would have cut you with a thousand knives!"
Ahem –
Lu An took a step back and asked tentatively again, "But, even if I agree to your conditions, can you really trust me for such a big thing as an alliance?" ”
Lu An is self-aware.
No matter how much Chu Yin trusted him, he was not interested in restoring the Great Qian Empire at all!
For such a big matter as forming an alliance, shouldn't Chu Yin and Shaporo Khan reach an agreement in person?
However, what he didn't expect was that Erma nodded without hesitation, "That's right, as long as you agree, there will be a formal alliance between us and Chu Yin!" ”
"So—"
Lu An hesitated, nodded with a bitter face, and said, "Okay then, alas! ”
As long as Hai'er can be brought back, and then the danger of Hexi and the Western Regions can be solved, and the Lord of Huanyun County will be rescued by the way, what alliance is not aligned, it is a broken matter between Chu Yin and Shaporo Khan, and he doesn't care!
Seeing Lu An's reluctant look, Erma almost fainted!
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't get rid of the tattoo on her forehead, if it wasn't for uniting Chu Yin and King Sui to deal with Qisi Khan, she wouldn't have married Lu An again!
"Let's go! Come with me to Father Khan! ”
Throwing down a sentence, Erma glared at Lu An and took the lead in leaving the military tent.
