A Clash of Gods Chapter 1309: The big picture matters

The night wind practice, the warship swayed gently on the Huai River, but for the main warship of Dongqi, standing on it, there was almost no feeling of slight shaking, and Shen Tuluo lived on water all year long, even The sloshing was more intense, and he didn't feel much.

Duan Shao's appearance is not good, but he still has a glorious look in his eyes.

Shen Tu Luowei pondered, and then said: "His Royal Highness, although my Daqi Kingdom was all broken, he thought that now we have other options to go, not just relying on the Northern Han Dynasty."

"Oh?" Duan Shao immediately said: "Dadu, what other ways do you have to restore your country?"

"Rely on Chu people!"

Duan Shao just thought that Shen Tuluo was foolish, frowning and said: "Is the Great Governor saying to rely on Chu people?"

Shen Tuluo slightly bowed his head, Duan Shao laughed aloud: "Great Governor, you... We are now the enemy of life and death, and 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Chu State are stationed in our capital, you say Relying on the Chu people to restore the country, this palace... really don't understand what you mean. Do you think the Chu people will withdraw from my Daqi land and return Linzi to us?"

"Unless the Chu people do not care about the life and death of the 100,000 soldiers of the Qinhuai regiment." Shen Tuluo has sharp eyes: "His Royal Highness sent someone to secretly contact with the Northern Hans. They promised that as long as we cut off the logistics of the Chu army, let Qinhuai If the legion is trapped in Dingtao, I will be able to restore my Daqi land, and even cede a county to my Daqi."

Duan Shaojin first said: "This is exactly what happened. The civil war in the Northern Han Dynasty, the Beitang wind had just ascended the throne, and the dynasty was not yet stable. The Qinhuai regiment was like a wolf. The Beitang wind naturally worried that Zhong Liao could not stop him. He was the emperor. The buttocks haven't been sitting hot, so I naturally don't want to be pulled down so quickly. With our Dongqi naval engineers blocking the navy, Zhong Liao only needs to stay on the line of defense and not have to fight. It won't take long for the Qinhuai Army to collapse without fighting." /

"But the minister was worried that once the Qinhuai Army was defeated, what else could Beitang Feng do to help us recover our country?" Shen Tuluo frowned: "Beijing Fengfeng promised to help us reinstate us because of the Qinhuai Army Threatening, our Daqi naval division can help them cut off the grain road and the back road of the Qinhuai Army. As long as we help Qi together, the North Han will win this battle. He is now using us, and he will naturally agree to the conditions we proposed. , But the Qinhuai Army is really gone. By the time he rebels, what can we do?"

Duan Shao raised his hand and twisted his chin, thoughtfully.

"The Chu Kingdom betrayed its beliefs and defeated Linzi. We are naturally incompatible with the Chu State." Shen Tu Luo Zheng said: "But the Northern Hans are also the heart of the jackals. His Royal Highness, the foundation of my Daqi's survival is the Northern Han and the Southern. Chu is comparable, and no one can do anything. Too strong in any country is not good for our Qi. Once the Qinhuai regiment is defeated, Chu will be weak immediately. For at least two decades, they will not be able to go north and the two countries. Once the balance is broken, even if Daqi succeeds in the rejuvenation of the country, it will inevitably be a big trouble."

Duan Shao’s face became solemn, and Shen Tuluo continued: "After the collapse of the Qinhuai Army, Chu’s military strength can no longer be compared with that of the Northern Han Dynasty. The Northern Han Dynasty will never miss this opportunity. Before the recovery of the Nan Chu military strength, It will inevitably go south to Chu, and before that, the Northern Han people will definitely annex me Daqi."

Duan Shao pondered for a long time, only to say: "You said that Chu people can rely on, where do you start?"

Shen Tuluo raised his finger to the endless stream of the Huaihe River: "His Royal Highness, this Huai River is in our hands, and the lifeblood of the Qinhuai Legion is just waiting to be caught in our hands. The Qinhuai Legion can still sustain it right now, it is nothing more than hope As my Daqi naval commander couldn't sustain it, the Huai Shui Grain Road was reopened. As long as the Grain Road is open, the current predicament of the Qinhuai Legion will be lifted immediately."

Duan Shao sighed: "Our food is almost exhausted and will not last long. The soldiers of the sailor have low morale..."

"Exactly." Shen Tuluo said: "According to the information obtained by the spies, the Qinhuai Army is collecting food around Dingtao, but after all, there are tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of war horses. The grain and grass collected could not sustain the consumption of the Qinhuai Army. Both our naval division and the Qinhuai Army were in a state of exhaustion of grain and grass. Once our army first cut off the grain and grass, we will not be able to hold the Huai water."

"This palace understands." Duan Shao said: "The country has been defeated, and the officers and soldiers of the navy can continue to the present. It is really not easy. If it is not because of you, the Daqi naval division will no longer exist."

"They are all Daqi's most loyal warriors, and like the minister, they are loyal to Daqi and loyal to His Royal Highness." Shen Tu Luo Zheng said: "But the minister also understands that the food is cut off, even if the minister has the ability to pass the sky, Prevent the collapse of the sailor." After a slight pause, he said: "But now there is a great opportunity to change the situation."

"You mean?"

"Once the grain silo in Huize is burned, the news can be spread quickly." Shen Tuluo said: "If the Qinhuai Legion knew that the grain silo was destroyed, even if the grain silt was cleared, it would be unable to return to the sky, and it would definitely collapse immediately. "Speaking of this, Shen Tuluo's lips sneered: "Zhong Liao knows that Chu's food has been burnt, and he will never easily let go of the Qinhuai Army."

Duan Shaojin said first: "That is a natural, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We have blocked the retreat of the Qinhuai Legion. Zhong Liao of course wants to completely destroy the main force of Chu."

"The imperial court of Chu Kingdom could not understand the desperate situation of the Qinhuai Army." Shen Tuluo lowered his voice: "His Royal Highness, if we negotiate with the Chu people at that time, let them withdraw their troops from Daqi, as long as they withdraw their troops, We can withdraw from Huai Shui, and let the Qin Huai Army make a living. Does His Highness think that the Chu people will agree?"

Duan Shao thought for a while and said: "The Chu State naturally knows that the Qinhuai Army is important to them. Without the Qinhuai Army, the Chu State is likely to face the state of perishing the country. They retired, and even if other conditions were proposed, the Chu people might not agree."

Shen Tuluo's eyes crossed a hint of splendor: "Your Highness said, can we negotiate with Chu people?"

Duan Shao's expression was cold, saying, "My Daqi Kingdom was broken by the Chu people, my father... the father emperor was harmed by the Chu people, and in the end, the North Palace had to be in peace with the Chu people... ..!"

"Chen knows that this is not easy." Shen Tuluo's eyes showed a fierce look: "The Chu army was doing evil in Linzi, and the first emperor was murdered by them. We naturally cannot forget this account. It's just... It is my successor to Daqi, what we should consider is the future of Daqi..."

Since the Kingdom of Qi State died in the hands of the Chu Army, it is precisely because of this that Shen Tuluo has not been able to propose negotiations with the State of Chu.

The people of Qi nowadays have a deep hatred for Chu, and for Chu, to Duan Shao, it is the revenge of killing the father and destroying the country. If they negotiate with Chu in private, even for the benefit of Qi, they will eventually Being criticized by people, if the people of Qi are known, the people who are influenced by emotions will certainly feel that Duan Shao is a thief and a father.

Negotiations with Chu will inevitably damage Duan Shao's prestige in the hearts of Qi people. Shen Tuluo knows this and is naturally very cautious about this matter.

"If this mission is successfully completed, this palace can consider negotiating with Chu." Duan Shao pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Huangmei is still the queen of Chu. Maybe she can help Busy."

"If Your Highness really agrees to negotiate with Chu, this matter will be handed over to the minister." Shen Tuluo immediately said: "The negotiation matters are subject to the sole responsibility of the minister, and His Highness does not have to be involved. Whether the success or failure, all come from the minister To bear the consequences, Your Highness only knows nothing."

Duan Shao was shocked, and he understood Shen Tuluo's meaning instantly.

"Everyone in the world knows that the minister is the governor of the Daqi Water Division, and negotiates with the Chu people on the condition that the Daqi Water Division withdraws their troops. Everyone will think of it as a minister." Shen Tu Luo Han said with a smile: "If the negotiation is successful After my Daqi's reinstatement, His Highness only needs to punish his servants, so not only will his prestige not be damaged, but also the whole country will praise His wiseness!"

Duan Shao shook his head and said: "No, the palace will not agree. Even if you want to negotiate with the Chu Kingdom, the palace will personally come forward, you don’t have to...!"

"His Royal Highness!" Shen Tuluo's complexion rose: "His Royal Highness knows that it is not easy for me to build a country? Although I am a small country with few people, but in the middle of the two tigers and wolves, I still survive, all because of The ruler is wise and the people support it. Since I founded the country in Qi, I have never given it, and because of this, I am supported by the people of the whole country, and my highness naturally knows it."

Duan Shao slightly bowed his head, and Shen Tuluo continued: "The people of the Qi Kingdom need a good emperor. There must be no place for the people to be criticized by His Royal Highness. His majesty is the foundation of my grand Qi Statehood. There must be no slight damage, can your Highness understand?"

"But if you hang on this charge, then...!"

Shen Tuluo said with a smile: "The Shen clan has suffered all kinds of national graces, and it was allegiance to the monarch all his life. Mo said that his reputation was damaged. Even if the real head fell to the ground, it was also willing." Kneeled on one knee and said, : "Your Highness is also required to complete, be sure to answer the request of the minister!"

"Ben Gong.....!" Duan Shao hesitated and seemed very embarrassed.

"If your Highness does not agree, the minister will not get up."

Duan Shaodao: "Great Governor, if it is...if the food burning is successful this time, this palace...as you said, send...to send you to negotiate with Chu people !"

Shen Tuluo arched and said: "Your Highness Chengcheng~IndoMTL.com~ Duan Shao busy with his hands raised, Shen Tuluo got up with a smile and a happy face on his face, said: "His Royal Highness is important, in the future It must be a great sage, I'm so good...! "I haven't finished speaking, so I heard someone shouting: "There is a signal on the shore, the spies are back!" "

The two of them hurriedly looked over to the south bank, only to see that there was a light on the shore. The light turned on and off for eight consecutive times. After a short pause, the light and dark continued for eight times.

"Come here, let go of the boat!!!" Shen Tuluo said in a deep voice.

The water on the Huaihe River was shallow, and the warship was easily stranded by the past. So he put the boat down from the boat and picked up the spies from the shore. The man came on the boat, and Shen Tuluo and Duan Shao immediately greeted him. The man was dressed as an ordinary person, saw Shen Tuluo, ran for two steps, knelt down to the ground, panting and breathing heavily: "Great Metropolitan Governor, Huize City... The fire in Huize City skyrocketed and burned. .... burned...!"
