Chapter 453 - A Last Resort
However, it was said that Zhuge Binghe's 'invitation' only took three days to reach Zhang Jialin.
It is also a coincidence, of course, it can also be said that the Dayang Group has a strong intelligence construction capability.
Zhuge Binghe sent Sima Wenchang to try to contact an intelligence point of the Ocean Group, but in fact, this intelligence point was also deliberately exposed, in fact, it was just an informal diplomatic contact point. Everyone knows this, so Zhuge Binghe is in direct contact.
The people arranged here by the Ocean Group are not even considered to be intelligence systems, but more like a semi-public diplomatic office, but as an intelligence base station, the communication capabilities here are not bad. After receiving Zhuge Binghe's intention, it immediately sent a signal in the direction of the Ocean Group.
But the person in charge here is also smart, and at the same time sends signals in the possible direction of Zhang Jialin's spacecraft. Zhang Jialin, who had just set off from the Red River Empire for only three days, really received the news halfway.
After receiving the information, Zhang Jialin hesitated a little and made a decision. Let his deputy and Gao Gao Shang return to Tianyuan Star, and he personally went to the 'Tianshe Star Cluster', and actually decided to contact Zhuge Binghe in person.
For Zhuge Binghe, Dayang Group has long understood, but it is only limited to understanding. The focus of the development of Dayang Group in the past was not on the side of the Red River civilization.
The part of the Tianyuan Star United Nations that had the most contact with the Red River Civilization except for the Ocean Group was the part of the Tianyuan Star Organization, and the one that had the most contact was the Xuanhuang Group.
And because the Red River Civilization is involved in the internal affairs of the Yujing Empire, all things considered, everyone's contact with Zhuge Binghe is just a simple business. This kind of commerce does not even include military resources above the middle level.
Therefore, the entire Tianyuan Star Civilization has never really come into contact with Zhuge Binghe. Fortunately, the intelligence system of the Dayang Group has not rested, and Zhang Jialin still has a lot of understanding of Zhuge Binghe.
According to the analysis of the intelligence system of the Ocean Group, Zhuge Binghe is relatively upright!
Yes, you read that right, the head of a separatist regime turned out to be an upright man. And this is also one of the important reasons why Zhuge Binghe was able to lead so many generals to rebel together.
Soldiers, no matter how they change, the iron and blood in their bones are almost the same.
Of course, the reason why Zhuge Binghe divided one side has its own selfishness and ambition, but another reason cannot be ignored - corruption and chaos within the Red River civilization.
Before the split, the Red River civilization already had characteristics similar to those of the last dynasties. The aristocratic group, led by Tuoba Kui, almost overthrew the empire.
In particular, the military was not taken seriously and even reduced to the margins, and the soldiers gradually became the thugs of the aristocracy, even lackeys, and even ghosts for the dead. This point made Zhuge Binghe unbearable.
However, the previous generation of the Emperor of the Red River Empire still had some means, and he transferred the pressure to the outside world through external expansion, creating a little room for reform, and began to purge the capital area.
However, the result of the expansion was the division of the empire, coupled with the actions behind the Yujing Empire, which led to the division of the aristocratic group led by Tuoba Kui first, and then Zhuge Binghe also found an opportunity and his ambitions skyrocketed.
But ambition is ambition, Zhuge Binghe's love for soldiers, and his upright and strict means are also important qualities for him to be independent.
After that, Tuoba Kui occupied the arc lost constellation, and Zhuge Binghe occupied the Tianshe constellation.
The constellation is actually a relatively barren constellation, spanning more than 600 light-years, but there are only six small star clusters, each with an average distance of 110 light-years.
The overall territory of the entire Celestial Constellation is almost twice that of the arc loss constellation, but the density of the stars is less than 30% of the arc loss constellation.
At the traditional national level, the constellation does not have the criteria for establishing a unified state. At most, six small divided states can be built.
But Zhuge Binghe insisted on using his personality charm to unite the six star clusters. And Zhuge Binghe's slogan is: to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of soldiers.
However, the intelligence officers of the Ocean Group have found that slogans are gradually becoming slogans, and Zhuge Binghe's influence is fading, and his control is also weakening. After the passion for independence, everyone gradually discovered the problem, the constellation of the Celestial Society was born insufficient, and it was destined to not last long. This is also one of the reasons why Zhuge Binghe secretly contacted the Heavenly Empire.
The Celestial Empire is also the only country in the surrounding starry sky that can compete with the Yujing Empire and ensure the safety of a large number of soldiers.
But now, it seems that there is a second choice - the Tianyuan Star Civilization and the Ocean Group. After encountering 'deception' here in the Celestial Empire, Zhuge Binghe decided to try to contact the Dayang Group.
It was under such circumstances that Zhuge Binghe issued an invitation through the semi-public intelligence point of the Ocean Group.
As for why it is the Ocean Group, not the Xuanhuang Group or the Tianyuan Star Civilization United Nations, it is very simple, the Ocean Group is the most powerful one, and it is also the Ocean Group that purchased the Tianshe Constellation.
It's just that Zhuge Binghe didn't expect that the representative of the Dayang Group would come so quickly, and he was also Zhang Jialin, the most famous foreign minister of the Dayang Group.
For Dayang Group, Zhuge Binghe still knows a lot, at least for Zhang Jialin. This diplomat, who almost represents the diplomatic achievements of the Ocean Group, has a bit of a dazzling glory.
What can be obtained at the negotiation table may be much more than on the battlefield! These are Zhang Jialin's words, and they have affected the atmosphere of the entire Lanxing Group-wide negotiations.
Today, in the Blue Star Group's sphere of influence, and even beyond, the importance of negotiations is growing. It was found that the defeated may have less to lose when negotiating, and the victors may have more to do than on the battlefield. Because of the past wars, a lot of wealth and lives were directly discarded on the battlefield.
Of course, negotiations cannot replace war, but the value and positive significance of negotiations cannot be denied.
Now that he has to face Zhang Jialin, Zhuge Binghe suddenly has an indescribable apprehension in his heart.
The shadow of the famous tree, the aura on Zhang Jialin's body is a little dazzling, and there is no negotiation yet, which makes Zhuge Binghe a little nervous.
Zhang Jialin arrived five days later, and his military advisor Sima Wenchang greeted him on behalf of Zhuge Binghe, who waited in the 'palace'.
After all, it is the overlord of the divided side, and Zhuge Binghe still has a palace. Of course, this palace is very simple, and because of the relationship between the soldiers, there is a feeling of barracks.
Zhang Jialin was well-informed and not cowardly, and strode forward, not seeing the surrounding swords.
Zhang Jialin also has the cultivation of the realm of returning to the void, as well as a magic weapon, and there is even a lack of high-grade immortal weapons purchased by Dayang Group through the Bluestar Group.
Zhuge Binghe was in the main hall, sitting on the throne, ready to wait quietly for Zhang Jialin to 'meet'.
I didn't want Zhang Jialin to walk straight in front of Zhuge Binghe, face Zhuge Binghe, and said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "Zhuge 'General', at your invitation, I came over." But isn't the general sitting in the right position?"
You're just a general, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf!
A small cultivator who is still a weak and two-fold cultivator has to apply if he wants to go to the battlefield in the Ocean Group. I'm still at the top of my life, am I proud?
Also, nominally, Zhuge Binghe is still just a 'general who guards the constellation of the Heavenly Society'. Although Zhuge Binghe has divided one side, he keeps in mind the lessons and lessons, and does not 'claim to be the king', and still regards himself as a 'general'.
Since this is the case, then the identity is naturally not 'noble'.
In addition, the Ocean Group is now the true 'lord' of the Celestial Constellation, which has been recognized by both the Yujing Empire and the Honghe Empire. On the contrary, Zhuge Binghe is an 'illegal resident'!
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Jialin will talk like this as soon as they meet.
Zhuge Binghe was choked by Zhang Jialin's words: Oh, how do you speak? Lao Tzu thought of several possibilities, but he didn't expect it to start like this.
Fortunately, Sima Wenchang reacted quickly, and said calmly beside him: "The general has 80 million soldiers, tens of trillions of people, a territory of 600 light years, and 670 million star systems.
Why can't you sit in such a position?"
Zhang Jialin did not turn his head to look at Sima Wenchang, but continued to look directly at Zhuge Binghe and fight with Zhuge Binghe. When Sima Wenchang's voice fell, Zhang Jialin said slowly, almost word by word: "Why did I come here, that's the answer!"
Sima Wenchang wanted to say something, but Zhuge Binghe sighed and walked down slowly, "You're right, I'm really not qualified to sit here." ”
As he spoke, he turned to look at the throne he had walked down, and there was endless emotion in his tone, "For so many years, I have been wondering if what I did back then was right. But no one could give me an answer. What everyone needs is a general who is constantly improving, but where is there so much room for improvement.
I'm tired, I'm really tired.
In fact, it doesn't make much sense to think about whether what you did back then was right. Continuing on is the only option. But if it is a dead end, a blood-paved dead end, with no hope in sight, I have to think more. ”
Zhuge Binghe is so 'honest', but it makes Zhang Jialin a little stuck. Fortunately, Zhang Jialin reacted quickly, and immediately responded 'honestly':
"The reason why I accepted the invitation was also to find a peaceful and win-win development path. If bloodshed and sacrifice can be avoided through negotiations, both the Ocean Group and the generals will benefit a lot. ”
Zhuge Binghe nodded slightly. Indeed, if both sides surrender after the fight is broken and bloody, no matter who wins or loses, the result will be difficult to manage.
Judging from the current situation, the combat effectiveness of the Tianshe constellation is far inferior to that of the Ocean Group. As for taking refuge in the Heavenly Empire, Zhuge Binghe has already woken up a little in his heart:
To put it bluntly, he is a chaotic minister and thief, and the traditional empire will not accept him! Not to mention the conditions given by the Tianji Empire, there is no room for negotiation at all.
On the contrary, the fact that the Neptune Group has gone so far as to say that it can negotiate is in itself a sign of sincerity. Especially the reputation of Dayang Group, even he Zhuge Binghe has to give a thumbs up.
The only problem now is this: the imminent arrival of the army of the Celestial Empire.
