Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 8: Marquis

After hearing the news of the disastrous defeat of the empire's Western Expedition, the countries on the mainland and several major forces within the Tanghe Empire also reacted one after another, especially the actions of the two major towns within the empire were extraordinary.

----October 17th, Lin Guoxiong, the military governor of Sanjiang County of the Empire, announced to the outside world that he would formally form the Second Imperial Sanjiang Army Corps on October 20th. Lin Guoxiong's eldest son, Lin Yunfei, will be the head of the regiment. The establishment of the regiment will be completed within a month to cope with the increasingly severe international and domestic situations. This action immediately caused an uproar among the central and southwestern countries of the empire. Various forces speculated that in this sensitive period, what is the purpose of the Lin family's vigorous expansion of military power, what is the intention, and where will the edge be directed?

----October 19, Lang Yongquan, the military and political governor of the Tiannan County of the Empire, also announced that the reorganization of the garrison divisions of the five prefectures of Tiannan County has entered the final stage. Once the reorganization is completed, the Imperial Tiannan Second Legion to guard against unpredictable contingencies.

---- On October 20th, the 200,000 troops of the two corps of the Kaman Empire, led by the general Duke Nick, who is known as the "Twin Pillars of the Empire", broke through the northeast defense line of the Czech Republic, which had been stalemate. The 200,000 troops of the Czech Republic were forced to retreat to Fanlin City in the northeast, and when all attention was focused on the battle situation under the Northeast Fanlin City of the Czech Republic, it was called the "Twin Pillars of the Empire". Another great general, the Duke of Mailey, led an elite 50,000 royal guards with the cooperation of another corps of 100,000 troops, and adopted the method of making a surprise attack on the night of October 21. Jiama City in the northwest of the Czech Republic. Most of the Czech Republic's troops were attracted to the Northeast, and the Kaman spies who had been lurking for a long time took the opportunity to create disturbances. On October 23, Jiama City, which had only more than 30,000 people stationed, fell. It was originally relatively complete A big hole was torn open in the northern barrier of the Tanghe Empire. Kaman immediately sent 100,000 troops to garrison Jiama City, from which he could threaten the Taixuan Mansion in the northwest of the empire to the west, and cross the Bode Plain and the Lamu River to the south to overlook the central plains of the empire.

---- On October 22, a fierce battle broke out between the army of the Kingdom of Poole and the main force of the First Army of the Empire on the Panay Plateau on the northern border of the empire. Both sides suffered heavy losses and were forced to retreat.

----The Great Khan Palace in Sanglin City, the capital of the Machi Khanate. In a resplendent and resplendent lounge, Biscili, topless, is lying comfortably on a big soft and luxurious bed, enjoying massages from two beautiful girls who wear minimal clothes. The two girls have silver hair. Brown eyes, white and tender skin, they are indeed two rare beauties, especially the upper body of the two women is also naked, and the lower body is only wearing a pair of white silk trousers, two pairs of proud double peaks, the top of the red bean-like At one point, the whole room was filled with a smell of *.

----Two girls are riding on Bixili's lap, massaging his back with her naked breasts, and the other is gently massaging Bixili's shoulders with both hands, Bixili endured comfortably He couldn't help humming, when the voice of his personal guard suddenly sounded outside the door, "Khan." "What's the matter? Didn't I say to take a break now!" Bixili asked impatiently, "Khan, it's Mr. Lei See you." "Oh, ask him to come in."

----Lei Juetian frowned as soon as he stepped into the room, "God, come in and have a seat. How are these two girls? They were paid tribute by the merchants from the Nanyang Alliance. They have excellent body and skin. , Absolutely virgin, with the original taste of Tapo Island, those guys want me to lower the tariff, I am open to anyone, but they want me to lower the tariff, no way, how, are you interested, if you are interested, I will I will give them both to you." Bi Xili obviously thinks very highly of Lei Juetian, and the relationship between the two is also extraordinary.

----"Khan, I don't have much interest in these things, so I'd better keep them for myself." Lei Juetian politely declined.

---- "God, I'm not talking about you. You must know how to enjoy life. Life is only a few short decades. Apart from your own career, you also need to adjust your life. Relaxing is not a bad thing. According to the proverb of our Machihan people, a bowstring that is stretched too tightly is easy to break, so don’t live like an ascetic.” Bi Xili affectionately “enlightened” Lei Juetian.

---- "In this regard, my hobbies are different from Da Khan's. Let's not interfere with each other, but Da Khan should pay attention to his body." Lei Juetian replied with a wry smile.

----"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own measure. We martial arts practitioners are still sure about this. Why, what's the rush now?" Bi Xili also knew Lei Jue Today, I interrupted my rest and came here to report something urgent.

---- "Well, there are some things I want to report to you alone."

----"Oh, you guys go out first, no one is allowed to come near the room without my greeting." Although Bi Xili likes to enjoy himself, he is not ambiguous about big things at all, and pinched one of the girls reluctantly. Breast, ordered the second daughter to leave immediately.

----After the two daughters left, Lei Juetian took out some written materials, "Khan, according to our information, the news that the Tanghe Empire's Western Expedition was wiped out has been confirmed, and according to the information, The northern part of the Tanghe Empire and the Principality of Jielock are now at war, and we still don't know what the situation is, but it is estimated that the situation on the side of the Tanghe Empire is not optimistic."

----"Great, then maybe we have an opportunity, what are we going to do now?" Bi Xili was so happy that he couldn't help standing up and walking back and forth.

"Khan, there are still some situations. The Sanjiang Lin family has announced the formation of their second army, and the Tiannan Lang family has also responded by announcing that they will form their own second army."

---- "Why, these two guys finally couldn't bear it anymore, the fox is about to show its tail." Bi Xili looked serious.

----"But I suspect what is the purpose of these two families? Especially the Lang family. The Lin family must want to take advantage of the favorable situation that the Tanghe Empire is now unable to take care of the head and the tail, and its strength is greatly reduced, and has an attempt to advance westward. , but how will he deal with the Lang family behind him?" Lei Juetian felt a little confused, "Unless the two of them reach an agreement, it is impossible for the Lin family to go west."

----"The two parties reached an agreement, what will the Lin family give in exchange for the support or neutrality of the Lang family? If the Lang family remains neutral, it will be difficult to explain to the central government of the Tanghe Empire." Bi Xili also felt that there was something in it Strange.

----"Leave them alone, they will have to prepare for a while if they want to raise their troops. I told the Great Khan in the last court meeting that it is necessary to change our current foreign policy. Now I think the time has come. Mature, so I want to report this issue to Da Khan today." Lei Juetian solemnly spoke to Bi Xili,

----Looking at Lei Juetian's serious expression, Bi Xili also paid attention, "Then tell me."

---- "I don't think our primary enemy is the Tanghe Empire. There are three reasons. First, although the strength of the Tanghe Empire has weakened, it is still not something that any of the surrounding countries, including our country, can fight alone; The second is that the Tanghe Empire is currently in a difficult time. If we can maintain a good relationship with it, then it must be very willing, then we can free up our hands to deal with other enemies; the third is that our economy still needs further development, and we need a A relatively peaceful environment, and our economy is very complementary to that of the Tanghe Empire. If there is a war with the Tanghe Empire, it will have a considerable impact on our economy. Apart from the above three points, I also feel that some countries We often cooperate with the Tanghe Empire to contain us, if this problem is not resolved, I am afraid that we will never be able to truly become enemies with the Tanghe Empire." Lei Juetian talked eloquently.

---- "You mean the Kingdom of Milan?" Bixili asked knowingly.

----"That's right, I think the top priority right now is to build a good relationship with the Tanghe Empire, free up hands to clean up those small countries and city-states like Milan, the Nanyang Alliance, and our southwest, and gradually strengthen their own strength. When the time is right, we will deal with the Tanghe Empire." Lei Juetian stared deeply at the map of the Eastern Continent in his hand.

----"Then what measures should we take now?" Although Bi Xili regretted that he could not step into the Central Plains soon, he was a big event after all, and he knew that Lei Juetian's views were in the best interest of his own country Yes, so I quickly put aside my regrets and focused on recent actions.

----"Currently, we can send envoys to the imperial capital, Zhongzhou, to have a direct dialogue with the foreign affairs department of the empire, and at the same time invite their diplomats to visit our country. We can also withdraw some of the troops stationed on the border with the Tanghe Empire, In order to show our goodwill, we must work hard to maintain the existing relationship with the Lang family and the Lin family, and pay close attention to their development and changes, but don't take it lightly. We will not take action against the Kingdom of Milan for the time being. At present, we can seize the time to collect information from the surrounding small countries and city-states. It’s just that Dahan’s desire to go north has to be temporarily delayed.” Lei Juetian’s eyes have already landed on several small countries and city-states in the southwest of the map .

----"Then we have to hurry up, make arrangements as soon as possible, and strive to achieve results as soon as possible. Don't disclose the conversation between you and me today, and it's not too late to let others know when it's right." Bi Xili is very Be cautious, this is related to the change of your own country's foreign policy, and if you accidentally disclose it, you may make yourself very passive.

---- "This minister knows."

---- Tanghe Empire was disturbed by several bad news in succession. Inside and outside, the common people and officials were all discussing and panicking. The performance of the army was criticized fiercely, and even many gentry also proposed to negotiate peace with the northern countries in order to ensure the safety of the empire. In fact, it was a disguised peace. The Imperial Home Office has strictly controlled the public's speech, but all kinds of rumors are still rampant and unstoppable. The Imperial Press and Publication Office also strictly forbids all major newspapers to publish news about the defeat of the Empire, otherwise it will be seized on the grounds of affecting national security. At this time, the long-awaited news that Wufeng led the imperial army to defeat the Luobei people in Qingyang Mansion finally reached the imperial capital.

---- "Extra! Extra! The imperial army defeated the Luobei invading army in one fell swoop, wiped out more than 50,000 enemy troops, and the Luobei invading army has fled back to the prairie in embarrassment! Sir, five copper coins, why did they rise Twice, this is the latest news, is it expensive? Yesterday's news doesn't cost money, so do you want it?" "The latest news! The Luobei people handed over the road money for 20,000 fine war horses and returned home in desperation! For more information, please see " "Imperial News"!" "Five days of **** battle, victory with less, brilliant record, who can match it! The portrait of Li Wufeng, the commander of the defense of Qingyang, Miss, do you want it? Just one silver coin, and send a personal resume!"

----Because all the major newspapers and periodicals of the empire sent reporters to various places, among them, the reporter of "Daily Express" happened to meet the petition group sent by Zhan Zhaobai and Wei Dongchen to the imperial capital in Longdong Mansion. After the incident, the reporter was very clever, and immediately felt the shock of the news, and immediately hired someone with a lot of money to ride the news back to the imperial capital overnight. As a result, the man was detained by the soldiers because he had a dispute with the gatekeepers when he arrived in the imperial capital. In a rage, he said that he was here to announce the good news, and was stabbed to the reporter of "Empire News" after being informed of the situation by the good people around him. Soon all the major news organizations learned of the news, and immediately started to operate, and the people of the entire imperial capital Immediately fell into an atmosphere of ecstasy.

---- In the Qinzheng Palace of the Imperial Palace, Situ Mingyue became very excited, contrary to the manic and irritable mood of the previous few days, and her face also appeared amiable. She has already read the battle report and several newspapers before the imperial case A few times, what is never tired of watching, probably this is the mood. "Dear dears, this battle report is too simple and boring. I don't think it can compare to the writing style of these newspapers!" His Highness and ministers saw that His Majesty was very happy~IndoMTL.com~ also expressed their gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor. congratulate.

----"He Aiqing, is the situation in this battle report accurate? Don't misrepresent it. I can't afford to lose this person anymore." Situ Mingyue walked back and forth in front of the imperial case excitedly .

---- "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this information has been reviewed many times, so there should be no problem." He Zhiqiu replied respectfully.

---- "Very good, very good, 50,000 enemies were wiped out, 20,000 horses were captured, and the victories are numerous. Who is this Li Wufeng, and I am overjoyed, Yusuf, please tell me." I listen."

----Yousuf, the head of the City Guard Corps, has long been prepared, "Your Majesty, Li Wufeng, was born in a noble family in Zhongzhou, the capital of the empire. His parents died early, and he joined the army in 687. In service, he served successively as small captain, squadron captain, and large captain. In 689, in the battle to quell the peasant slave riots in the three northern counties, he won more than 3,000 enemies with less and captured more than 3,000 enemies. Captain, he is in charge of escorting logistics and supplies during this Western Expedition. The above is his resume."

----"Well, he is a rare talent. I want to reward him heavily. What's your suggestion?" Situ Mingyue was very satisfied.

----"Your Majesty, I heard that the people of Qingyang Mansion are very supportive of him. There is already a joint petition group coming to the imperial capital to petition His Majesty. They resist the Luobei people." Lu Wenfu went out and played.

----"Oh, that's fine, I'll follow the public opinion, make Li Wufeng the Marquis of Baisheng, and serve as the city guard of Qingyang Prefecture, I hope he can live up to my expectations and guard the northwest border for me!"
