CHAPTER XXXV
Karian and the other party fought several times in a row, the other party has been tempted, so the loss is minimal, there are 1,000 and 5 teams on the mountain, and the remaining 500 have been discharged, constantly harassing the opponent's grain transportation route, but also greatly restraining the opponent's troops. However, the other side seems to have tried to prepare for a general attack, after all, the opponent's forces have an advantage, and his own side has not used much firearms in order to kill with one blow.
It seems that the two sides have begun to stalemate, and it is unlikely that they will end the war quickly. However, both sides waited for their time to deliver a fatal blow to the other.
Austin did not all of them dispatch, more than 10,000 soldiers, only 5,000 were dispatched, and the rest were all stationed at the border, guarding against the imperial team, although Li Feng lost his memory, did not remember what the empire had done, and did not have any personal experience, but Li Feng's subordinates were angry that Bai Tingyue almost killed his own king in front of him, and guarded against them all the time.
As for Bai Tingyue, he has always paid attention to the civil war in the kingdom, the empire and the kingdom have been adjacent to each other for hundreds of years, compared to the empire, the kingdom rarely has such a large-scale civil war, the royal family and the four nobles are all dispatched, and there has never been. Generally speaking, when the two sides of the kingdom are deadlocked, the empire can reap the greatest benefits by taking advantage of the situation.
Although these are what Bai Tingyue wants, however, Bai Tingyue also knows that it is basically impossible, the king is the god of war, and he has never fallen into the disadvantage when he fought with the empire, and Austin, who has recently sprung up, is not a master to mess with, if, at this time, the empire dares to invade, the two sides will definitely be able to reconcile and form an alliance in an instant.
Of course, Bai Tingyue did not plan to go out into the army, after all, the internal affairs had not been completely handled. As for the five thousand soldiers left behind by Li Feng, Bai Tingyue had not taken them into account.
Bai Tingyue didn't put these 5,000 soldiers in his eyes, how could Li Feng expect them to resist Bai Tingyue's invasion, and the real backhand was still entrusted to Gray. directly avoided Bai Tingyue and went to see the emperor.
The emperor saw this subordinate who had been constantly appearing in his ears for nearly a year, and looked at it carefully, but did not see anything special. I couldn't help but ask with some disappointment: "I don't know what this envoy is here for?"
"First of all, congratulations to Your Majesty, to eradicate the ministers and seize power. Gray said complimentally, and the Emperor smiled reluctantly.
"Well, the envoy isn't just here to congratulate me, is he?" the Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, this is an alliance submitted by our Highness, hoping to form an alliance with the Empire, and the borders are peaceful. Gray handed the letter to the Emperor.
After the emperor looked at it, he said sarcastically: "First of all, you are only a small force under the king, not to mention whether you are qualified to submit this, just to say, you are now being surrounded and suppressed by the king, give this to me, do you want our empire to recognize you?"
"Your Majesty, do you know how far our Highness has been at war with the King?"
"To what extent?" asked Gray's question, the Emperor was quite interested.
"The two sides are already deadlocked, both are in a dilemma, we have the advantage of weapons, but the king has the advantage of numbers. At this time, the advance of the empire will inevitably cause a chain reaction. After Gray thought about it, he added, "With the strength of General Bai Tingyue, he can take down at least three of the king's main cities and nearly one-third of the territory. ”
After listening to Gray's words, the emperor couldn't help but laugh a little, he really had never seen such a simple envoy, who could be an envoy, who was not a man of eloquence and eloquence, each of them could negotiate a winning game with the strength of one percent. And the envoy in front of him actually said such a thing.
"Haha, the envoy really likes to joke, if according to you, why should we form an alliance instead of sending troops to defeat the king?"
"Because, the great victory over the king, it is Bai Tingyue's great victory over the kingdom, which will only make his reputation more prominent, to put it mildly, if Bai Tingyue really wins a third of the kingdom, from that moment on, the contradiction between you and him will not be able to be buried, either you give him the throne, or he rebels and is killed by you. Either way, it's the right choice for you. It's better to keep the status quo and think slowly. Gray said.
After hearing these words, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and said unkindly: "Could it be that in my dignified empire, except for Bai Tingyue, there is no one to lead the army?"
"Of course, in addition to Bai Tingyue's people, there are also many generals, but are these people really sure? If the army is defeated, it will naturally damage His Majesty's prestige, and even if he wins, he will compare with Bai Tingyue, and it will be difficult to increase the prestige of his life. Gray opened his mouth to speak, and finally, he added with bad intentions, "To be honest, what we are most worried about now is Bai Tingyue's leaders, if it is other generals, there is really nothing to fear." ”
His Majesty the Emperor was noncommittal, but looked at Gray with interest and asked, "What is your name, and what is your position in Austin?"
"Gray, just an ordinary chief of guard. Gray said that as the head of the Security Bureau, it was established to protect Austin, so it is not nonsense for Gray to say that he is a chief of guard.
"Haha, Mr. Gray is so humble, even if it's me, I've heard of Mr. Gray's name. The chaos in our empire a while ago was also due to Mr. The Emperor said.
"That's really a failure, Your Highness once said, our work, the more nameless, the more powerful, it seems that I am too far behind. Gray was exposed, and he didn't feel the slightest discomfort, said.
"Mr. Gray, you have come to provoke a relationship between me and the general, you have underestimated us too much. The Emperor said.
Gray smiled and said, "As I said, if you think I'm trying to drive a wedge between you and the Great General, then I apologize to you. I didn't mean to provoke you and the general, because what I said is the truth, you can still believe in General Bai, in the same way, we also believe in General Bai, and we also believe that Your Majesty believes in General Bai, but even so, once General Bai sends troops and wins, it will be such a result, no matter how much Your Majesty believes in General Bai Tingyue, but once this balance is broken, the balance between you and General Bai will be broken. The contradiction will intensify, so that even if General Bai Tingyue is willing to prove his loyalty by dying, how many of his subordinates want to become the founding father?"
