The ministers stared at each other with big eyes.

What better way? What could be better than an alliance with a female empire?

"Father, could you objectively say that the female empire is stronger, or is my Daqing stronger?"

Emperor Qing snorted lightly.

"Does that need to be said? Naturally, I am stronger in Daqing. ”

At this time, the ministers were full of question marks, and no one understood what Liu Qi meant.

"If this is the case, wouldn't the female empire recognize such a reality? Whether it is compared to the national strength or the combat effectiveness of the troops, the female empire is far inferior! ”

"At this point, according to Erchen's thoughts, even if the female empire has colluded with the Xiongnu in private, she will never dare to rashly take the initiative to challenge my Daqing, unless they feel that their good life is over."

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if you are concerned about the realm of Lucheng, you will only attack after I Daqing and the Huns end the battle, and it will be under the condition that I lose Daqing."

The ministers nodded again and again, but when Liu Qi said this, didn't he say it again?

Emperor Qing naturally had such an idea, so he asked.

"What you said is indeed reasonable, but even if it is a female empire, it will not attack my Daqing for the time being, but if this battle is lost, how can you guarantee that the female empire will not unite with the Xiongnu and invade my Daqing?"

"Although I am the Daqing Iron Army, I am not afraid of them and others, but once the war starts, countless soldiers in Daqing will die on the battlefield, and this could have been avoided."

What Emperor Qing said is what everyone thinks.

"It's useless to say something, am I afraid of the female empire in Daqing? It's not to prevent more innocent deaths in the war. ”

"Hmph, Your Highness is still a young man, short-sighted!"

But these upward whispers did not affect Liu Qi at all, he looked into Emperor Qing's eyes, chuckled and shook his head.

"Father, the son has one more question!"

"Say!"

"In the eyes of the female empire, I Daqing and the Huns, who has the greatest interests for them? Who is the greater threat to them? ”

Emperor Qing snorted coldly.

"Of course it's my Daqing!"

"Okay, the minister proposed that before attacking the Xiongnu this time, we can send someone to the female empire, and we might as well tell them directly that we want to attack the Xiongnu."

Speaking of this, the courtiers were in an uproar.

Liu Yin sneered when he heard this.

"Your Highness, are you crazy? Such a military secret, the secrecy is not enough, and it even took the initiative to inform the other countries? ”

The other ministers were also ridiculous, thinking that Liu Qi's strategy was simply too naïve.

Liu Qi looked at Liu Yin and chuckled disdainfully.

"You know a fart, this is a trick!"

After being scolded for this, Liu Yin's face turned dark, but Liu Qi continued to look at Emperor Qing.

"I think that the female empire will be very surprised when she learns that I am going to attack the Huns in Daqing. And the more this is the case, the less reckless they are. ”

"At that time, the troops in my Daqing Lucheng will be able to be above board, and they will often display troops on the border, so as to deter the female empire, so that they can't figure out what my Daqing's true intentions are.

"The two can also let them see that I Daqing has already been prepared in this matter, so I don't dare to take the opportunity to make trouble."

Hearing this, Yang Wenyuan rubbed his cheeks and stood up.

"What His Highness said is just a delaying tactic."

"His Royal Highness led the troops to attack the Huns, if they were defeated, wouldn't it all be empty talk?"

As soon as Yang Wenyuan finished speaking, Li Shouting echoed.

"That's right, since Your Highness also said just now, even if the female empire wants to attack our dynasty, it will wait until we are at war with the Xiongnu and see the results before taking action."

"Does Your Highness have full confidence that this battle will definitely be won? If there is a real case, how should I deal with it? ”

Liu Qi turned around, and his sharp eyes made the smiling ministers suddenly tighten their faces.

"This king just said, I can send a person to Daqing to send an envoy to the female empire to inform me of Daqing's intention to attack the Xiongnu."

"In addition to that, you can also cooperate with the Female Empire."

Liu Yin couldn't help laughing and pointed in Liu Qi's direction.

"Hahaha, after all that, aren't you all nonsense? Aren't you going to negotiate with the female empire? Lord Yang is right, isn't this just a delaying tactic? ”

Liu Qi didn't get used to him at all.

"Fourth brother, if you don't have a brain, you won't talk much in the future!"

"You...."

"What are you? The harmony that this king said is completely different from what Lord Yang said. ”

Emperor Qing took a thoughtful breath and leaned back.

"Liu Qi, what's the difference between yours?"

"What the sons said is cooperation, not low-level affinity."

"Cooperation?"

At this moment, everyone was a little confused.

"Father, we can talk to the female empire, this attack on the Xiongnu, they can work with me Daqing..."

Before he finished speaking, the hall began to become noisy.

"Haha, what nonsense is Your Highness talking about? For no reason, how could the female empire send troops with my Daqing to attack the Xiongnu together. ”

"So what good should we give them? Isn't it more than affinity, to give? ”

"Hmph, Your Highness can really joke, if the female empire has a private appointment with the Xiongnu, how can she agree to such a ridiculous idea?"

For a while, no one agreed with Liu Qi's idea.

In the face of everyone's accusations, Liu Qi did not panic at all.

"Father, before this battle, I don't need to give any substantial benefits to the female empire in Daqing, and I can also inform the female empire that there is no need to cooperate with my Daqing to send troops together."

Liu Qi said that the more Emperor Qing listened, the more confused he became.

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple, I only need to promise that after we win the battle with the Xiongnu, we can send a message to them, and at that time, they will attack the land of the Xiongnu from the east, the Garuqin Hetao."

"It was one of the places where the Xiongnu were rich in cattle and sheep, and the booty harvested could be used as the first benefit given to them."

"Secondly, the Garuqin Loop, which borders South Korea, allows them to station troops there for a long time to contain the threat from South Korea."

Li Shouting laughed.

"Your Highness, it's really a big deal, and you directly threatened to give the Garuqin Hetao to the female empire."

"My Lucheng realm, in order to contain the female empire, borders with South Korea, doesn't this law give them such an opportunity? In the future, if it grows stronger, won't it be even more threatening to my Daqing? ”

"Besides, what you say must be negotiated with the female empire, how can they believe it? I'm celebrating these courtiers, who does Your Highness want to go? ”

After Li Shouting finished speaking, everyone hurriedly stepped back.

It can be seen that no one wants to wade into this troubled water.

Especially the people present, most of them are Yang Wenyuan's cronies, who will take the initiative to stand on Liu Qi's side.

Also, if it is negotiated well, it can at least be counted as a merit, and if it is not negotiated, there is a risk of being sacrificed to the flag of the female empire.

Seeing this, Emperor Qing spoke.

"Liu Qi, what Master Li said is not unreasonable. Not to mention what you said, can the female empire agree? Who is the right person to send to negotiate with him? ”

The crowd regressed again.

Looking around, Liu Qi smiled, and then shouted.

"Father, the son already has one, the most suitable candidate!"
