Maudun led the wolf army to start a burning battle in the border city of the Yue Kingdom, and the news reached the capital five days later.

In the palace of the Yue Clan, Gattuso summoned all the ministers and nobles of the river to discuss how to deal with the invasion of Maudun.

Above the main hall, the ministers and nobles were divided into two groups, each arguing, neither of them convincing anyone, each was very satisfied with their own reasons, and they were very picky about the other's requirements.

Gattuso looked at the two sides below, one of whom sent troops to conquer Maudun, and the other who made peace.

Gattuso also had no time to come up with an answer, both sides had a point, the Lord and one side thought that the birthday feast was imminent, and the neighboring countries had already sent envoys, and once the war started, all the envoys would retreat, so this birthday feast became a joke.

The Yue Clan's palace will also not be able to raise its head among the countries of the Western Regions, and it will become a joke of all countries.

So you have to stabilize Maudun and wait until the birthday feast is over safely.

The side of the main battle objected, since Mao Dun had fled from the Yue Clan in the first place, he would definitely not come to negotiate now, so negotiating with him would not have any results at all, it would only be a waste of time.

It is better to directly destroy Mao Dun with a large army before the birthday banquet begins, so that Mao Dun understands that the Yue Clan Kingdom is not as weak as he thinks.

And this war can also deter those envoys, let them know how powerful the Yue Kingdom is.

Gattuso felt so appropriate that he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Gattuso stood up and left directly, the voices of the arguing people in the hall fell silent, and then the ministers dispersed.

Back in the harem, Gattuso asked the attendants to summon the Minister of State, the Minister of War, the Grand Duke of Dekeba, and the Marquis of Hall.

The attendant obeyed and went to invite the four men.

When the four of them arrived, Gattuso sat on the throne and looked at the four of them and said, "How should this matter be handled, tell me what you think." ”

These four people can be regarded as the most powerful people in the Yue Kingdom, and they can decide most of the political affairs of the Yue Kingdom.

The military minister said, "The king, the minister thinks that troops should be sent, first, to deter the countries of the Western Regions, and second, to show the strength of the Yue Kingdom in front of the Qin Empire's Taishi, so that the Qin Empire can understand that our country is not so easy to bully." ”

Dekeba: "The king, the minister thinks so. ”

Gattuso looked at Derkbar and said, "Tell me why the Duke made such a decision. ”

When the "Dekeba" minister escorted the Qin Empire and his party to the capital, the music could feel that the Qin Empire general Meng Tian was looking at the surrounding terrain, and his eyes were full of the light of war, which was very bright. ”

"Obviously, that General Meng Tian judged the Yue Kingdom to be the target of attack in his heart, and he was inspecting the terrain all the way."

Dekeba stood up and continued, "So it is necessary for us to show our muscles and let the people of the Qin Empire understand one thing, the Yue Clan Kingdom is not so weak, and it is not something that can be attacked if you want to. ”

The Minister of Politics and Hall looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly, both of them advocated negotiations, and the faction that was talking about spending the birthday banquet first, but looking at Gattuso's expression, he was obviously moved.

Minister of Political Affairs: "The king, the minister still thinks that the first negotiation is peace, after all, there are only ten days before the birthday banquet, if you decide to send a large army, not to mention anything else, the march will take at least half a month, and then the birthday banquet will not be well prepared, and the war will not be favorable." ”

Hall: "Yes, King, after the birthday feast, it will be much better to go all out against Maudun than to send troops now, and it is very likely that there will be more cooperation with the envoys of various countries at the birthday banquet. ”

"Once the troops are dispatched now, the envoys of various countries will definitely leave when they hear the news of the war, and then the birthday banquet will not be prepared, and the diplomatic problems of the countries will not be resolved, and there will be a bad reputation."

Gattuso's face sank after hearing this, as a king with a good face, how could he let this birthday banquet fail, but the news on the border still made him difficult to let go.

Minister of Politics "King, how long has Mao Dun been gone, and the army formed is not too much and too good in comparison, so we have time to send troops to encircle and suppress them after the birthday banquet, and this feast with the help of the birthday is very important." ”

"The Qin Empire, Yueshi, Dawan, Loulan, Qiuzi, Chequ, Wusun, Chengguo, Shiban and other kingdoms together assisted the Greek Federation, except for the Qin Empire, the rest of the kingdoms are all Western Regions."

"What is the purpose of gathering them together with the help of the birthday banquet this time, the king knows very well, if it is ruined by the dispatch of troops, it will be very difficult to think of such an opportunity."

Gattuso lowered his head and pondered, yes! The purpose of this birthday banquet is not to worship birthdays, but to do something else.

Gattuso looked at the four of them and said, "Yes, this time the birthday banquet is insoluble, and I will talk about it after the birthday banquet." ”

The Minister of Military Affairs and Dekeba looked at each other, and there was no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and said, "Respect your fate." ”

Gattuso: "Okay, since it's been decided, let's announce it at the court meeting tomorrow." ”

"Yes."

Gattuso let the four of them leave, and after the four of them left the palace, they walked in the corridor, and without saying a word, they walked in silence.

The startled salamander disappeared out of the window, and with a few jumps, it left the Yue Clan's palace and ran towards the palace where the officials of the Qin Empire had stayed.

Waiting for the startled salamander to return to Yan Yan's room, Yan Yan was watching with the latest news, Xuehua's information transmission was three days faster than Yue's, so the information in Yan Yan's hand was the news from two days ago.

After Yan Yan saw the startled salamander, he put down the information in his hand and looked at her, waiting for her to tell the information that came from the inquiry.

The startled salamander did not delay, and directly told all the news that the Yue Clan's palace had heard and seen.

After Yan Yan listened, he frowned and thought about the reason, what was the purpose of the Yue Clan and the countries of the Western Regions gathered at this birthday banquet.

Then Yan Yan remembered what he saw and heard the last time he went to the Western Regions, and there seemed to be someone behind the Western Regions at that time, and finally he saw Creon of the Greek Federation, but now that Creon has left the Western Regions and returned to the Greek Federation, who else is behind the Western Regions?

Yan Yan looked at the latest information in his hand, since the Yue Clan decided to let Mao Dun go, it was no longer feasible to continue to burn the disturbance, so did he have to change his plan?

Yan Yan didn't decide whether to change his plan for a while, and let Mao Dun directly start attacking the city and occupying the territory of the Yue Clan, but in this way, the incident was a lot more troublesome.

Seeing him frowning, the startled salamander walked behind him and raised his hand to press the corner of his eyebrows, and with a force on his hand, he pulled his head into his arms, rubbed the corners of his eyebrows with his fingers and said, "What are you thinking, adult." ”

Yan Yan leaned on her and said, "I'm thinking about how to deal with this matter of the Yue Clan." ”

"Why don't you take out Lady Nina, after all, it's not like the style of adults." ”

Yan Yan: "Nina has always been the emperor's wife, and the emperor's affection for every lady is very sincere, as his teacher, I naturally have to take it into account." ”

"But adults are now working on themselves. ”

Yan Yan: "There's no way, let's be a little more tired if you're a little more tired, so as to avoid regrets when the time comes." ”

The startled salamander's fingers stopped, and then slowly sat down and hugged Yan Yan tightly in his arms, relieving his fatigue in his own unique way.

Yan Yan leaned on the startled salamander, feeling the delicacy and softness of her skin, and rubbed her cheek against her face, which was cold and very comfortable.

Time could not stop, Yan Yan left Gentle Township, picked up the wolf in his hand and wrote a letter, and asked the startled salamander to take it and pass it to Mao Dun.

The startled salamander looked at the letter in his hand, with a smile on his face, and left the room after sealing it, and went to arrange for someone to deliver the letter.

Opening the door, Yukihime looked up at the sky, and when she saw her, she smiled, and Hongxia was crawling all over the powder of the startled salamander.

Xue Ji was about to say hello, the startled salamander turned around and left quickly, Xue Ji looked at the house, Yan Yan's eyes and her suspicions, and once again smiled and walked in.

Yan Yan poured two cups of tea, then looked at Xue Ji and said, "If people see your majesty, it won't be there." ”

Yukihime: "It's rare to see a startled salamander like that, it's not so flavorful." ”

Yan Yan shook his head and didn't talk about her, but asked instead, "How is it, how many envoys have come to the city?" ”

Xue Ji: "The envoys of the kingdom tribes of Shiban, Loulan, Xizhi, and Wusun have arrived, and the rest of the kingdom tribes have not yet arrived. ”

Yan Yan recounted the news that the startled salamander had heard, he looked at Xue Ji and said, "Tell me what the Yue Clan is planning behind it?" ”

"Who is behind the countries of the Western Regions that implicates them all? Did it succeed? What is their purpose? ”

Xue Ji lowered her head and thought deeply, the reason behind this made her very interested, but there was too little information now, and it was difficult for her to speculate the truth behind it.

Yan Yan was deeply soothed by her bulging eyebrows, looked at her and said, "Don't think about it if you can't think of it, so as not to worry about it." ”

Yukihime: "That's why the salamander made that move. ”

Yan Yan looked at her and nodded with a smile.

Yukihime fell into his arms, quietly looking at the roof of the palace and closing her eyes.

At Nina's residence, a dark shadow appeared in Nina's room again, doing the same thing, leaving a note and leaving.

Nina picked up the note, read it, and burned it, and now she didn't have anything to say about it.

Nina left the room and headed towards the palace.

Nina didn't say these things to Gattuso and Mansa Tina, when it was all on her own.

Mansha Tina heard the maid's message and asked the maid to bring Nina in.

Nina saluted her mother and sat down across from the veil.

Nina: "Mother, how about going to Qin Kingdom with me after the birthday banquet." ”

Mansha looked at Nina and shook her head and said, "It's not etiquette. ”

Mansha looked at Nina's appearance of wanting to speak and smiled, "You can also see it, so your father can't see it?" ”

"That's why there is such a grand birthday banquet, otherwise where would the rest of the kingdoms agree to come to the Yue Clan to participate in this grand event."

Nina: "Mother, why don't you make the right choice. ”

Mansha looked at Nina's painful expression, reached out and patted the top of her head, and said comfortingly, "How is it possible to let your father make that decision." ”

Nina left the palace of Mansha and walked towards the Qin Empire's embassy escorted by the guards.

Walking on the familiar streets, listening to the familiar local sound, Nina's eyes became more and more determined.

Back at the Qin Empire's embassy, Nina had returned to her usual appearance.

Three more days passed, Yan Yan looked at the battle report in his hand, Mao Dun began to attack the Yue Clan according to the plan, and now he has successfully captured two cities.

After the defeat of the Yue Kingdom's environment, the city retreated to the rear, and soon retreated to the position of the ape army camp.

After reading Mao Dun's defeat, he opened the letter sent by Zhao Liang.

Yan Yan looked at Zhao Liang's letter, thinking in his heart how to reply to him.

Now that the situation is no longer enough to continue the previous plan, is it necessary to directly start using troops against the Yue Clan Kingdom, so as to directly destroy the Yue Clan Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan stopped his thoughts and turned his head to look out the window, among the blue sky and white clouds, the late summer sun was still very hot.

Yan Yan sighed, picked up his pen and began to write, one letter will be sent to Zhao Liang, one will be sent to Xianyang, and one will be sent to Xingren Pass.

The three letters were written separately, and Yan Yan sealed them and walked out of the room to find the startled salamander.

Yan Yan: "Send them out." ”

The startled salamander took the three black dragon scrolls, and the red black dragon scrolls were used to send them to Xianyang, and the startled salamander looked at Yan Yan, who looked at her and nodded gently.

The salamander smiled, then turned away and went to arrange for the letter to be delivered.

Yan Yan came to Fusu and Yan again? , Yin Man, the palace where the three of them are located, the three of them are getting together to play chess, and Yin Man, as the military advisor of both sides, is constantly directing where the two of them are playing.

The two of them were not annoyed, listening to her request and playing chess pieces, which surprised her.

Yan Yan walked over, looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, and found that it was still difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

The two of them are not much smarter than themselves in the matter of the game, and Yin Man has not collapsed on the side, which shows the far-reaching layout in the early stage.

Yin Man stood up and pulled him to sit down after seeing Yan Yan, and she stood behind Yan Yan and put her hand on his shoulder and squeezed it hard.

He didn't pay attention to the situation on the chessboard, and concentrated on explaining the current situation of the two to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan listened to Yin's explanation and smiled.

The chess game ended with Fusu losing half of the game, and the two stopped playing chess, and each began to review, and then reviewed each other.

The two of them started from the point of view, the reasons for the next place, the follow-up, and what the general outcome would be.

Yan Yan listened to it and learned a lot.

It was completely dark, Yan Yan left, and the three of them teamed up to eat.

During this time, Yan Yan had too many things to consider, and the three of them naturally became much easier in their studies and had more time.

Xianyang City.

Wang Jian got up, clasped his fists and saluted, "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

Ying Zheng: "Let's go." ”

Wang Jian turned to leave, Ying Zheng stood up and walked to the sand table, pulled out the flags of the Yue Kingdom one by one, and replaced them with the banners of the Qin Empire.

One day before the birthday banquet, the Kunpeng army took off with thirty Kunpeng and flew towards the Western Regions.

At the same time, the White Elephant Army, which had already gathered here at Xingrenguan, also began to move.

Under the command of Zhao Liang, the ape army had already marched to the royal capital, waiting for the dawn to come.

Tonight, Yan Yan looked at Xue Ji and the startled salamander and said, "Do you pay attention to Lady Nina and Princess Yinman, and pay attention to Fusu and Fusu?" Child. ”

The two nodded in understanding.

Meng Tian led the army of five hundred apes and prepared to attack.
