With two Earth System Rule Mages here, it was not a problem at all to open the Xijiang Tunnel, and Dongfang Wang's master and apprentice had done what they had to do in one morning.

As soon as Ding Kui sent away the two eighth-level combat powerhouses, he rushed to the headquarters of the Eighth Army non-stop, not because of the military reform, but because there were guests waiting for him.

A thin and slender old man with a long beard sat in the tent of the Eighth Legion, and Ding Kui walked in, his eyes involuntarily attracted to it.

"Hehe, it's better to be famous than to meet, and it's better to meet than to be famous, Mr. Wu is really a rare guest!" he saluted the old man.

is a dignified general of counterinsurgency, and ordinary people can't afford his junior ceremony.

"It seems that General Ding has indeed been to Cao State. The old man stood up and saluted in return.

"I haven't been to Cao Country, I have also seen the portrait of Mr. Wu, how many people in your country can be above you?"

"There are countless people who are better than the decrepit in Qi Guo, and General Ding's news is wrong. ”

It turned out that this old man was a native of Qi State, and there was only one person whose surname was Wu and deserved to be treated like this by Ding Kui, and that was Wu Yi, the national teacher of Qi State.

"You came from Qi Country with only two entourages, and you are so low-key and pragmatic, even I can't compare. Ding Kui was ashamed of himself.

Indeed, it was not so simple for him to go to Lu and Cao, and he was surrounded by sixth-level combat power, and at least one time he went to his own country with Ao Yu to secretly operate, and it was an adult dragon.

In private, some people say that he is the nobleman who is least like the aristocracy in Shaodian Kingdom, which shows that his pomp and circumstance are low-key enough.

"Hehe, the old decay has today's status thanks to the love of the king, how can it be compared with the little marquis, that is, aside from the family, the general's military exploits can also be made marquis, not comparable, not comparable!"

“......”

The two of them were polite before they took their seats.

"What advice do you have from afar?" Ding Kui no longer went around in circles.

"The Tongbei Empire wants to exchange territory with our country, exchanging Chuanfeng Lake for Diyan Lake. Wu Yi is also a long story short.

Ding Kui's face changed slightly, and he carefully observed Wu Yi for a while before asking, "Don't you think it's ridiculous, sir?"

There has never been an exchange of territory on the Shenyuan Continent, but there is a nobleman from the same country, if what Wu Yi said is true, it is really a precedent.

The Northern Empire wants to exchange territory with the Southern Kingdom, which is tantamount to a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and there is no good heart.

Wu Yi stroked his long beard and said, "Prince Ji is very serious, not like a joke." ”

"That's the gentleman joking with me, can you get down to business?"

"Hehe, what does the general mean by the Tongbei Empire teasing our country?"

This old guy is so cautious.

Ding Kui said while slandering: "The information I got from your mouth is like this, is your country really going to consider it?"

"It depends on how much pressure countries put on them. ”

Wu Yi's answer was unexpected, that is to say, it is not impossible for Qi to agree to the Northern Empire.

"All countries, who else besides Cao and Meng?" Ding Kui's heart moved.

"You didn't deny going to Cao Country just now, you were indispensable in the first battle of Duanshui County, and the old man has reason to speculate about Shaodian Kingdom's intentions. Wu Yi sat upright and gave an official answer.

"Hahaha, no wonder you came to me directly, and you didn't go to Zhenjing, I don't know and think that your country wants to intervene in the civil strife in your country. ”

An old man and a young child each have ghosts, and they have been testing each other with words, but they are unwilling to say their inner thoughts.

"Oh! The general is too worried, and our country is not prepared to intervene in the internal affairs of your country. Wu Yi heard Ding Kui's vigilance, "The old man came to you directly in the hope of establishing a mutual trust mechanism between the two militaries." ”

"Earlier, the old man mentioned that my country is facing great external pressure, some are given by Cao State, some are given by Meng State, and some are given by Tongbei Empire and Gu Yuan Empire, and I am also worried that your country will come in with one foot. ”

Ding Kui, the national teacher of Qi State, understood it, and there was no one who was not interested in the exposure of black crystal iron ore, and they were worse than Shaodian State.

Ding Kui had already discussed the development of the situation in Diyan Lake with Helian Yu, and it was not difficult to understand what Wu Yi meant, so he said: "As long as the Northern Empire is not benefited, no matter which hand the Black Crystal Iron Ore falls into, I don't think there is much of a problem." ”

Syllable.

Wu Yi clapped his hands lightly and said, "This is extremely true! I didn't know how to convince you, but now it seems that the old man is thinking too much." The general told him openly and honestly, and the old man admired it!"

"Even if the Qi State completely owns the Earth Eye Lake vein, it can't use this to invade your country or Cao Meng, at most it can win a few battles within a limited range......

He believes that Ding Kui is not lying, the key is that Shaodian Guo is temporarily unable to look eastward, and can put aside interests and see through the essence, which is actually the case.

"The imperial court is doing its best to quell the rebellion, at least until the end of the civil strife, and I personally do not want your country to be defeated by the Cao and Meng coalition forces. Ding Kui didn't have time to go around the bend with the other party.

This kind of diplomatic affairs is not in his charge, but Wu Yixin is no more than an official in the Senate, and he must talk to him who has real power.

"Can you tell the old man what the reason is?"

"Who can guarantee that the victor will not attack our country's idea? ”

Ding Kui kept a hand and wouldn't tell Wu Yi that he was still thinking about Black Crystal Iron.

"Hmm. Wu Yi nodded, "Cao Meng will indeed turn his face and deny people, they only have interests in their eyes, and it is normal for you to distrust them." ”

There are no loopholes in this justification.

He knows the soldiers, understands the military strategy, and can see the state of readiness of the Eighth Army, and the reason why he ran so far is because he wants to see with his own eyes what Ding Kui is doing.

The more fierce the civil war in Shaodian, the smaller the threat to the Qi State, Ding Kui led the army to be stationed on the edge of the Xijiang River, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you want to divide your troops to go to the Qi State.

"It's that your country is a threat to me, and with the support of the Tongbei Empire, you have the spare strength to trouble me. Ding Kui looked nervous.

He deliberately hoped that Wu Yi would underestimate him, and he would be prone to make mistakes if he underestimated him.

"The real purpose of the old man looking for you is to build mutual trust between the two militaries, and we can hand over our backs to each other, at least until the end of your civil unrest. ”

Wu Yi still hasn't said half a sentence, or before the end of the external pressure of Qi State.

When Qi Guo has no external pressure, he doesn't need to hand over his back to Shaodian Guo.

Of course, such a breach of unity cannot be said.

"Wow!" Ding Kui stood up excitedly, "Therefore, I dare not ask for what I want!" How can this kind of mutual trust be established?"

This is a great thing, the Second Army is still guarding against Qi in Shanyuan Prefecture, once it is confirmed that Qi will not fight, the military supplies stored in Shanyuan Prefecture can be deployed to Zhenwang Prefecture, and even a part of the troops can be divided to support the front line.

"Dispatch naval forces to patrol the river defense with each other, regularly report on the defense situation, and carry out joint naval exercises from time to time...... Wu Yi came up with a plan that had already been prepared.

"Someone, please ask Chief of Staff Jiang quickly. In order to show his sincerity, Ding Kui specially called Jiang Zhi to accompany him.
