Sarida Khan looked ahead, expressionlessly at the dejected nobles, who were the bravest of the Tartariya Khanate, and the most warlike warriors. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info like the kind of scum that can be eaten in the Khan court of Sarida Khan by virtue of family background and old glory or something.

Each of his generals was the finest of the best. Or proficient in the art of war, or have courage and force beyond ordinary people. More importantly, they have an extraordinary enthusiasm for war.

This time, however, things are different. These generals, who should theoretically have a fanaticism and enthusiasm for war beyond ordinary people, all the boyes of Nayan, Qianhu, and Slavi were all silent. It seems that their enthusiasm for war has been completely eroded by the harsh reality and the long life of war.

"Do you mean that you all want the Khanate to withdraw its troops?" asked Sarida Khan, whose face sank into the water.

No one answered, but the silence already testifies to their attitude.

And after a short silence like this, Saylilei stood up and saluted Sarida Khan before he continued: "Yes, father Khan. I think this war has been fought to this extent enough. Next, just threaten the Goths to make them pay a huge war reparation. This is much easier than attacking a fortified estuary fortress. ”

"If we are in an advantageous position, then it is no problem to threaten the Goths and ask the Goths to pay tribute. But right now, we're not at an advantage. Will the Goths really follow our will?" asked Sarida Khan.

Still no answer, still no one answered Sarida Khan's question. Because it's just so simple. In terms of the logic of the steppe people, you are not as strong as me, and you can't compare to me. So why should I listen to you and make concessions to you in this situation?

Pushing themselves and others, the steppe people also believe that their opponents, the Goths, will be like them.

"No, father, I think the goths will give in. At this time, Celier continued: "Because the Goths are not a whole. Goths are classified. They split into kingdoms, territories, and families. In fact, right now, we're not so much fighting the Goths as we're fighting a family, the Herefords. ”

"What do you mean......" Sarida Khan quickly understood what Sayrei meant, "You mean that the Hereford family may not give in." But the other Goth families, the forces, are very likely to succumb?"

"Yes, that's what I meant. Selilei nodded and said, "The Hereford family is already strong, strong enough to threaten the status of their master, Archduke of Mazovia. If they gain enough prestige in this war, then the Hereford family will not only become heroes of the human world. He will also become the master of the Grand Duchy of Mazovia. Even, become the master of the entire Wende Kingdom.

This is something that the Grand Dukes of the Kingdom of Wende absolutely do not want to see these days—think about it. They were stupid and arrogant people who were easily defeated by us. In the same situation, the Hereford family has the possibility of defeating us. The Hereford family has fared better than all of them. Under these circumstances, how could they tolerate the Hereford family continuing to be in the limelight?

They can't tolerate the Hereford family snatching their honor, and they can't tolerate the Hereford family taking away their power, status, and land. So, if in this case, we make a deal with these Grand Dukes, then it is very likely that we will get a good result. ”

Hearing what Celile said, some of the steppe nobles and Slavic nobles became excited again - they felt that what Celile said made sense. Even Sarida Khan nodded secretly - yes, if it was not available on the battlefield, it was taken at the negotiating table, using the inherent contradictions in the enemy's camp for his own benefit. That's a good idea.

"It's a shame!" It was at this time that Kublai's voice came from the other side: "The great khanate always wanted victory, always by its own scimitar, by its spoils, and by plunder after victory. I've never seen a liar or scoundrel who can be respected or make a difference!"

His words sharply criticized Celile, but at the same time, he also offended many people, whether bright or covert, who felt that Celier's words made sense. So, soon, Kublai was surrounded by a lot of protesting, refusing, and unfriendly eyes.

But Kublai didn't care about that at all. He looked directly at his father, Sarida Khan, and said:

"Father Khan, if this matter is only from the perspective of small, short-term interests, then there is some truth in what Saylilei said. But in the long run, it's completely wrong—"

"Oh?" Hearing Kublai say this, Sarida Khan also became interested, and then asked, "So, what do you mean, your reasons, and your methods?"

"I mean, it's going to leave humanity up to the rescue. Or rather, it will make the Goths lose their fear of our Tartarian Khanate!"

Hearing Kublai's words, Sarida Khan was also a little moved for a moment - yes, indeed, Kublai's words went straight to the heart and spoke to the heart of his heart.

That was Tartaria's contempt for the Goths, and even for humans, and the superiority of the self-perceived superior race. And the Goths' fear of centaurs and Tartaria -- if this war is really to be resolved by conspiracy and diplomacy in the end, as Celile said, then how can Tartaria's force intimidate them? If Tartaria's military superiority cannot be maintained, then what is the use of those intrigues and diplomacy that cannot be put on the table?

"......" watched as Sarida Khan fell into a deep groan. Kublai secretly rejoiced—he knew that Sarida Khan had listened to his words. And if Sarida Khan finally chooses his way to deal with this war, then his status in Sarida Khan's heart will also be much higher. This would enhance the likelihood of him succeeding the khan.

"But this is good enough!" Seeing this scene, Celilei was also a little anxious: "Father Khan, this can allow us to reach a certain consensus with the native Gothic nobles, and can isolate the Hereford family. Even, if done correctly, we could kill the heir of the Hereford family, the William who caused us a huge problem!

In the Great Frontier region, only they, the Hereford family, have enough strength and enough ability to stop our iron horsemen in Tartaria. So, at a little cost, we're going to get rid of Wilhelm von Hereford. There is no one in the entire Great Frontier who can stop the Iron Riders of Tartaria!

We are then faced with a bunch of brainy, useless, power-hungry scum who we have clung to! We can easily defeat them. It's a breeze!!"

At the end of the day, Celile's tone became very agitated.

"Lie! Or have you forgotten even the most basic common sense?!" But after this, before the others could get excited, Kublai immediately jumped out and retorted: "Our greatest enemy, the strongest obstacle in the Great Frontier Region, has never been that William, but his father, Duke Otto! Even if we defeat William, we will not be able to kill him. Because killing him will lead to the extinction of the Hereford family, and thus the most crazy revenge of Duke Otto! If you are not afraid of being targeted by a master like Duke Otto, give it a try!"

“......”

After hearing Kublai's words, the generals' excitement disappeared again. Some of the faint of heart, or those who had fought and taught Duke Otto, unconsciously felt a chill on the back of their necks, as if there was a sword against it.

“...... We can also do without William's life!, as long as we use him as a hostage, then Duke Otto will no longer rebel against us!" Celire gritted his teeth and retorted.

"What you said is only the best case, can you guarantee that this plan will be absolutely successful? Let's not say whether we can really catch William, and even if we do, can you guarantee that things will really be as you say? Or, Duke Otto's righteous murder? If he really cares about his son's life and insists on being hostile to us, will you kill William or not?

If you kill William, the situation will be the same as before. If you don't kill it, then what will happen to the prestige of the khanate?! Have you thought about all this?!"

For a moment, Kublai's words forced Sai Lilei to be speechless. This surprised Celier—he had never known that his brother was so eloquent. Until then, Kublai had always appeared as a reckless, simple-minded, simple-minded person. No one ever thought he would be able to gush on and on, like an orator, and say so many things that make sense.

So, Sailier kept silent. But that's not to say that he's admitting defeat. He was just waiting for the verdict of his father, Sarida Khan.

Yes, neither Sailile nor Kublai can decide the final course of this matter.

In the end, there is only one person who can decide the direction of this matter, and it can only be one person, and that person is Sarida Khan.
