Meng Khan nodded slightly, but did not make a sound.

Saktu frowned slightly, and said softly, "Liaison envoy, it's not that the leader of this alliance doesn't want to use this, but this one is not so easy to use, and if you want to use him as a hole card to blackmail Su Qi'an, I don't think it's possible." ”

"Although Su Qi'an is Su Fengwu's brother-in-law, but this war is related to the war between the two countries, with Su Fengwu alone, how can Su Qi'an be contained, if it is really that easy, the leader of this alliance will not send troops to raid."

Meng Khan shook his head and said with a smile, "I think the alliance leader misunderstood the meaning of the envoy and wanted to use the mother of the moon to blackmail Su Qi'an, this is impossible, the envoy has never thought about it." ”

"I mean, Su Qi'an didn't want to find a time to talk about the prisoners, why don't the alliance leaders take this opportunity to have another peace talks, even if the negotiation fails, there is no loss to us."

"The peace talks between the two sides are just to gain time for the transfer of troops, and as for the result, what is it? The meaning of Su Fengwu's existence is to balance Su Qi'an, and there is no reason to send troops on a large scale for the time being. ”

"In addition to being the mother of Yuezhao country, she is also the third princess of Da Liang, the talks of Xu Jiaji, and the cruel words that Su Qi'an dropped are largely for Su Fengwu, as long as Su Fengwu is on our side for a day, Su Qi'an will not be able to take the initiative to send troops."

"As long as it is given for a period of time, I guarantee that the army of our dynasty will definitely inflict heavy losses on Mengzhou, and then cooperate with the alliance leader to send troops from the front, and the two northwestern states will not be at your fingertips."

"Moreover, I promise the alliance leader 100% that once the war starts, Su Qi'an will definitely be transferred out of Ganzhou, without Su Qi'an's command and sitting in Ganzhou, with the ability of the alliance leader, it should be more than enough to deal with a Wang Zhenshan."

Meng Khan's face was full of confidence, as if everything was in his plan.

Saktu's eyes flashed, not as angry as last time, and while it was not pleasing to Mon Khan's words, there was no more secure way to buy time than to negotiate for the time being.

As he said, negotiations are not the goal, and the outcome of the negotiations is of no meaning to the two sides, the purpose is only to buy time for the mobilization of troops.

Da Rong's delay in making a move is not because he is afraid of the cold, but because he has time to redeploy his troops and generals, and the combat strength of the two northwestern states is not for fun.

It is the strongest combat effectiveness of the Daliang army, and it suffered a loss last time, if it is not rearranged, and continue to invade with a brainless charge, there is only one result, heavy losses.

Therefore, in the next period of time, it will be as short as half a month or as long as more than a month, and it will be difficult for both sides to fight.

Originally, the two sides had always been restrained, but Saktu had the command of 70,000 coalition troops, and his heart was swollen for a while, and he was bent on proving himself, and he suffered a big loss.

After calming down, Meng Khan's proposal was indeed relatively safe, as long as there was enough time, when Da Rong went south again, his pressure would be reduced a lot.

As for Su Qi'an, Saktu is not worried, although the armies of the two sides are on the border, they have the intention of fighting.

But he has the card of Su Fengwu in his hand, as long as he doesn't take the lead in tearing his face, and from time to time he asks Su Fengwu to come forward for peace talks, even if Su Qi'an wants to go to war.

When the other side at least shows sincerity and comes up with the posture of peace talks, he will not be able to tear his face and send troops on a large scale.

For Su Fengwu, Saktu had plans to invite him to participate in the second negotiation.

According to Saktu's intentions, after the last negotiation between the two sides broke down, he gathered a large army to attack and harass the border from time to time.

I wanted to increase some bargaining chips for the second peace talks, but who would have thought that not only did I fail to increase the bargaining chips, but I suffered a big loss.

If he continues like this, he will not be able to wait for the start of the big war, and his army will have to suffer heavy losses.

In order to ensure the success of the subsequent war, Saktu must bow his head and start the second peace talks.

After reading Saktu's thoughts, Meng Khan didn't stay long, and clasped his fists and saluted.

"If there is nothing to do, I won't disturb the alliance leader's arrangement, and I will retire."

With that, turn and leave.

Saktu retracted his gaze and coughed lightly, and soon, a group of heralds appeared outside the hall.

"Pass on the order of the leader of this alliance, please invite the mother of Yuezhao to come and discuss important matters."

The heralds received the order and quickly retreated.

At the same time, on the side of Tiannan City, from the generals to the local people, they were all filled with a strong excitement.

Late one night five days ago, while they were asleep, the rear city guards had won a great victory.

In one fell swoop, more than 4,000 elite coalition troops were annihilated, and their casualties were only a few hundred.

This battle still happened without their knowledge, and after understanding the cause and effect, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.

Of course, in order to protect the secret direct team, the night of annihilation did not reveal any news about the direct team, but simply explained that under the command of Tong Zhan and Zhao Shen, the enemy army was annihilated in one fell swoop.

The reason why it was preached was also to give the people of Ganzhou a kind of morale boost.

Don't look at this battle, the scale is not large, but in the posture of the two sides under the pressure of the army and the big battle at any time, informing this kind of victory news will greatly boost morale.

Not only that, this battle was a complete victory, and Su Qi'an and Wang Zhenshan had jointly reported to the imperial court.

In addition to repaying the merits, it is more important to ask the court for support for grain, grass, and money.

This time I came to Ganzhou to serve as an overseer, and those officials of the imperial court said that I don't know how good it sounded, as long as Su Qi'an needed the logistics supply, he would do his best to meet it.

Su Qi'an has been in Ganzhou for at least a month, during which he has given some grain, grass, and lulu, but after inspection, it is at least one-third less.

This made Su Qi'an quite angry, if he wasn't in an important position, he couldn't leave for the time being, and he would have to come to the door to teach a lesson to these detained officials.

Wang Zhenshan can understand Su Qi'an's anger, he knows too well to understand the urine nature of the imperial court, this time it is one-third less, which is already good, most likely it is still based on Su Qi'an's identity, if it was before, it would be at least less than half.

After Su Qi'an calmed down, he knew that it was unrealistic to return to Beijing to ask for accounts, so he could only temporarily suppress the anger in his heart, and waited until this time in the war of annihilation, and fought a good result.

happened to take the opportunity to ask for military rations and money, this time Su Qi'an had a lot of confidence in his heart, and he was ready to do it, if he deducted this time, he would definitely lead his troops to Jinju and grab grain directly.

Under his investigation, Jinju was not only the only way to pass through the military rations and food prepared by the imperial court from all over the country, but also the concentration of national preparations.

According to past experience, every time the grain and grass and Yulu are transferred out of Jinju, it will obviously be reduced by more than half, and there is no need to think about it, and most of the buckles are intercepted in Jinju.

Guo Kai dared to intercept it so openly, it was very simple, behind him was the King of Jin.

Even if someone dares to accuse, with the invisible strength of King Jin, the accuser will eventually disappear quietly, even if he is lucky enough to save his life, it will not be done in the end.

Others are afraid of this King of Jin, but Su Qi'an is not afraid, it is still the same sentence, but whenever the grain, grass and Yulu sent from Jinzhou appear to be deducted, Su Qi'an did not say it, he must personally lead the troops and have a good exchange with Jinzhou Mu Guo Kai.

After waiting for a few days, the grain, grass and food were finally sent from Jinju to Ganzhou.

After some counting, the grain, grass, and food sent this time were not less than a cent, but about twice as much as needed.

This made the soldiers who counted a little confused, thinking that they were mistaken, but the quartermaster who accompanied him explained with a smile that he was not mistaken, and as for the double, it was the compensation for the Ganzhou soldiers in recent years.

The quartermaster said softly with a righteous and awe-inspiring look. "The overseers, the protectors, and the generals, this time the order to allocate military grain and grass was originally a duty within the Jinzhou Division, but the previous officials in charge actually filled their pockets and deducted the food and salary of the Ganzhou soldiers, and their crimes can be punished."

"After the state pastor found out, he directly beheaded these corrupt officials, and this time he specially sent the officials to come, one to make up for the food and salary owed in the past, and the other to apologize to you on behalf of the state pastor."

"The governor said that the war in the northwest is the most important thing in the current imperial court, and those who dare to detain will not be forgiven, and at the same time, if the overseer needs it, the governor will do his best to complete it."

Listening to the quartermaster's explanation, Su Qi'an and Wang Zhenshan glanced at each other, and then said with a smile.

"So that's the case, then here's the quartermaster to convey to Guo Zhoumu, my thanks."

The quartermaster nodded, "Well, if you say your lordship, the lower official must bring it, now that the food has been delivered, and the lower official's task is completed, he won't stay long, and he has to go back to restore his life, take care, and the lower official will leave." ”

"Someone, send one."

After a while, a group of soldiers rode horses, protected the quartermaster, and quickly departed under the eyes of everyone.

Watching the quartermaster leave, Wang Zhenshan's voice sounded, "Su Hou, what do you think of Guo Kai'an's heart?" ”

"What Guo Kai'an's heart is, I don't care, what I'm worried about is the King of Jin behind him, without this master to speak, no matter how powerful Guo Kai is, it is impossible to do such a thing."

"It seems that a lot of things should have happened in the imperial court in the past month or so."

Wang Zhenshan nodded, and asked again, "Su Hou, why don't I send someone to investigate?" ”

Su Qi'an shook his head, "Elder Wang doesn't need to, now that the war between the two states in the northwest is about to be fought at any time, sending someone to investigate at this time will be distracting, and there is more than one King of Jin in the current court, as long as the two princes have a heart, even if they send someone to investigate, I'm afraid they won't find anything." ”

"The most important thing for us now is to calm down the turmoil in the two states as soon as possible and solve the rebellion in the Western Regions, so that we can have the energy to deal with the two kings of the imperial court."

"Well, you're right."

Wang Zhenshan nodded, and just as the two of them were about to return to the city with the soldiers escorting the quartermasters, suddenly, Wang Zhenshan's own soldiers in the city came quickly.

Hug your fists at the two.

"Report to the Overseer and Lord Protector, there is news from the countries of the Western Regions that they are willing to accept and transfer the prisoners, and at the same time hope to start a second peace talks."
