Section 96: Countermeasures

When Tuo Luo disappeared outside the big tent, a man in gray quietly sneaked out of the back tent, and said with a humble smile: "Big chief, it seems that Brother Ling is indeed a little impatient, there is an ancient proverb of the Bai Yin tribe: There are no two heavens, there are no two lords of the country, if the big chief is still so indecisive and benevolent, the envoy is very worried about the big chief." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Glancing at the other party contemptuously, the bearded man snorted coldly from his nose, staring at the other party for a long time, until the other party lowered his eyelids with anxiety in his heart before he said slowly: "Mr. Messenger, in fact, if you don't say this, maybe I have to think about it, do you know that if you say this kind of thing at this time, it may have the opposite effect? When did you Kaman people think about us Baiyin? If it weren't for Li Wufeng pushing you too hard in the south, I'm afraid you wouldn't be in much of the mood to discuss any military affairs with us, right?"
The envoy was furious in his heart, and secretly scolded this old thing, you are rampant at this time, and only after the matter in the south is resolved will you come to clean up your barbarians who don't know how to do things, but on the surface, his expression is becoming more and more humble: "Hehe, the big chief has misunderstood, we will never ask about the internal affairs of the nobles, but now we are at a critical moment in the negotiation between you and me, and the envoy just doesn't want some unexpected factors to affect the negotiation between us, and there is no other meaning." ”
"Enough, the current chief and the second chief are just not in agreement on the issue, our purpose is the same, I don't need you to mention it, I know what you have in mind, don't you just hope that it is best for me and him to have infighting because of disagreement and power and profit, tell you, dispel your despicable thoughts earlier, we Baiyin people are not so stupid, and the feelings between our brothers will not change because of different views on political affairs. ”
"Great Chief, you are a little out of sight, the Prime Minister ordered the envoy to come to the envoy to negotiate reconciliation with the nobles, the status of the chief in the nobility is directly related to the outcome of this negotiation, if the chief can not make a decision to end the noble affairs, then the envoy has nothing to say, but the envoy wants to remind the chief that maybe you have a clear heart and a clear conscience, but not necessarily others are so open, at that time I am afraid that it will be too late for the chief to regret it. The gray-clothed messenger's face remained unchanged, but he secretly sneered in his heart, pretending to be righteous and awe-inspiring and broad-minded in front of him, this Dulmy is really doing a good job on the surface, rough and reckless on the outside, cautious and suspicious on the inside, it seems that the information given to him by the prime minister is really quite accurate, for the sake of power, the two brothers can beat the noble elders into the cold palace in one fell swoop, so for the sake of power, why can't the two brothers turn against each other?
The bearded man's face changed slightly, but he quickly retorted: "The mind of our Baiyin people is something that you Kamans can never imagine, if you think that such a provocation will work, then I think you will be disappointed, instead of having this thought, it is better to spend it on our negotiations, I think maybe we can reach an agreement sooner." ”
Secretly scolding the old fox in his heart, the gray-clothed envoy had to change the topic back to the topic: "Great Chief, I think we have fully demonstrated our sincerity, that is, these conditions Prime Minister Gomez does not know how much effort it takes to convince those nobles, you should know this, the northern region has always been their lair, if you have too many demands, I am afraid that we will not be able to achieve even the original conditions." ”
"Can't do it? Well, I think Li Wufeng will help us achieve it, and at that time, I think maybe the whole north will be our hunting ground, and I am looking forward to this day. ”
The grinning mouth showed slightly blackened teeth, and the gray-clothed messenger stared coldly at this annoying and difficult guy, the prime minister told himself not to underestimate the wisdom of these barbarians, it seems that what he said is true, they also know how to use the power to suppress people, but he is still a little worse than to fight with himself.
"Really, let's not talk about how much your Dore tribe will pay for waiting for this day to come, can the Dore tribe, which has lost too much strength, still be able to bear the heavy responsibility of being the leader of the Baiyin clan? How do I think the development speed of the Sykes tribe and the Monlay tribe in recent years is not much worse than that of your tribe? And even if the Dore tribe can wait until this day, in terms of meritorious deeds, is it the second leader or the big chief, you are more in line with Li Wufeng's intentions? As far as we know, both Takla and Ling Di of the Sykes tribe seem to be more suitable to sit in this position in Li Wufeng's heart, I wonder if the Great Chief knows this?"
The words of the man in gray were short and concise, but they were to the heart, and the bearded man with a cloudy face didn't know how to refute the other party's words for a while. It's not that he hasn't considered the problems that the other party said, it is precisely because of these reasons that he has not been able to make up his mind, otherwise he would have given the other party to Li Wufeng as a favor.
"Mr. Special Envoy, do you know that with just a few words from you, I can make your head fall to the ground?!" After a while, the bearded man squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth gloomily.
"Yes, of course I do. But I know why my head fell to the ground, but I'm worried about the Great Chief, do you know when your head will land?" A chuckle made the gray-clad messenger smile a mysterious smile on his face, and his tone became ethereal.
"What do you mean by that? If you don't give me an explanation, you will only be your corpse that will go back. The bearded man was finally furious, he had never heard such presumptuous words, and he said them in front of himself in his big tent.
"Hehe, in fact, the Great Chief knows better than me in his heart, why do you have to say it for the Great Chief? You Baiyin people have lived in the north for hundreds of years, and you have fought with us in all dynasties, isn't it just for the sake of your so-called ancestral land in the north? Now that the Prime Minister has made it clear that he is willing to return it conditionally, what else do you want to ask for? Great Chief, as the old saying goes, delicious meals are often illusory, and what can be eaten is the origin of life, don't look at the mountain and look at the mountain. Li Wufeng's promise may be good, but has the Great Chief thought about it, if our Kaman Empire really dies, then how valuable is the existence of your Baiyin people? Will Li Wufeng still help you in every way like he is now, and give you whatever you want? Will he tolerate you wandering outside his grasp and not having anything to do with each other?"
"Sober up, we don't ask you to fight Li Wufeng, you can even take this opportunity to squeeze more money and aid from the people of Western Xinjiang, but all this must be based on the existence of our Kaman Empire, otherwise once the barrier of the empire is lost, in the words of the Tanghe people, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooked, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden, I think the big chief will not understand this truth, right? Perhaps the Baiyin people are useful to Li Wufeng, but they may not be useful to him as the head of a nation, and the lords of the Western Regions, the leaders of the Motts and the Tubu people, are not real examples? What Li Wufeng needs is a servant who bows down to his ears, not a friend and ally who gets along with each other on an equal footing! Innumerable facts have proved this!
It was both like persuasion and admonition, and the words of the gray-clothed envoy were full of compassion, which made the bearded man feel extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't help but admit that there was indeed some truth in the other party's words, especially the sentence that Li Wufeng needed a slave rather than an ally deeply moved him, no matter what, he didn't want to be a slave who looked up to others, even if it was a high-level minion.
Gomez felt that he was almost on the verge of collapse during this period of time, and these days he had to deal with the reproaches and questions of the nobles during the day, but at night he had to work overtime to plan military expenses and logistics supplies, and sleep less than five hours a day, which was really unbearable, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The Poole finally agreed to their request and agreed to send 200,000 troops south, although the empire also paid a great price, but it was all worth it, as long as the passage between Yulin and Qinghe could be reopened, these costs were also acceptable. It seems that the Bai Yin people have also been moved by the messenger they sent, the situation in the north has been eased, and the Bai Yin people are not sincere to work for Li Wufeng, pretending to be and cooperating, then the Ninth Corps will be able to deal with it, it is time to withdraw Lu Xi's First Corps, Mai Li is about to be unable to hold on, if this continues, let alone Qinghe, Fanlin and Yulin will be swallowed by the Tanghe people sooner or later, and at that time, I am afraid that I will have to kowtow when I can return home.
Although psychologically, Gomez wants to let his body and mind get a rest and adjustment, but the string in his mind has not been able to let himself really throw away everything, this southern expedition plus the military expenses that are about to be paid to the Pooles, the financial foundation of the entire empire has been consumed, and the accumulation of so many years has turned into flowing water in the blink of an eye, and if this battle cannot ensure the victory of the war, I am afraid that I will not be pushed by others, and I will only take the initiative to step down.
But are they really sure of this battle, Miley and Nick? Gomez is a little uncertain, since the fall of Jiama, Gomez has a feeling of doubt about the military, although he also knows that the responsibility for the loss of Jiama should mainly come from himself, after all, the logistics problem can not be guaranteed is the main reason for the loss of Jiama, but even the defensive operation was so easily taken by the Western Frontier Army, he can't help but be skeptical about the military's claim that one Kaman soldier is enough to resist two Tang River soldiers, but at this point, he can only believe in them, if this battle is really lost, their fate is probably similar to his own
