Chapter 571 Alliance
Waves flashed across the face of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. What Lin Xiaofan said made sense. If Da Qian was gone, the Sirius Kingdom would inevitably launch an offensive against the Tang Dynasty. |
In the west, the Tianwu Kingdom has been eyeing the Tang Dynasty for a long time. If the Tang Dynasty is attacked, Tianwu will definitely step in. By then, Datang will be engaged in a two-front war, dealing with two major powers, which may threaten the country.
And even if he wins by then, the generals will have unprecedented power. He is not Emperor Wu, and his control over the generals is not strong enough.
Although Sun Wufeng can control the generals, he is already over 100 years old, so who knows if anything will happen. If by that time, the military commander loses control, the country may be surrendered to others.
As long as there is an all-out war with the Sirius Kingdom, things will develop in an uncontrollable direction.
This time the alliance makes a big move and is bound to win. But one thing he hasn't figured out yet is how many people Dongfang Yun must muster to deal with Da Gan? If all the civil servants of the dynasty object, it will indeed be a troublesome matter.
"What the envoy of Daqian said is reasonable. Besides, our country, the Tang Dynasty, is a country of etiquette. Since Daqian came to form an alliance with sincerity, I agree to this matter."
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
Another minister stood up and looked at his clothes. He was also the minister:
"Your Majesty, my envoy from the Tang Dynasty went to Daqian, but was assassinated. And as far as I know, he died in the fief of this envoy named Lin Xiaofan. Now more than a month has passed, and Daqian has not investigated. There is a murderer. In my opinion, this matter is either not taken seriously by Da Gan, or it has something to do with some Da Gan people."
"Daqian has no sincerity, and the alliance now is just to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to frighten other countries and make profits for himself. I hope the emperor will think twice."
After the words fell, many civil servants also stood up:
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
Lin Xiaofan took a rough look, there were about a dozen people. You don't need to think about it to know that Dongfang Yun is causing trouble. However, seeing the resolute look on Emperor Tang's face and his expression not changing, and looking at Sun Wufeng's calm and calm expression, he felt relieved.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed our negligence that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty was murdered in Daqian. Daqian also sent a large number of manpower to investigate. Maybe some clues have been grasped, but they have not been sent yet. According to my speculation, this matter is from the Sirius Kingdom. The purpose is to prevent us from forming an alliance.”
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to speculate.
"Haha, why do you say that it was the Sirius Kingdom? Your Majesty, I think Dagan may have formed an alliance with the Sirius Kingdom, and the purpose of coming this time is to attack Datang. As for the reason, the Dagan envoy said The Tianlang Kingdom colluded with Dayu and raised more than 100,000 troops to deal with Dagan. Dagan is just a small country. If Tianlang really wants to deal with it, how can it not be defeated? "
"The reason why Daqian defends its territory, in my opinion, is that it has reached an alliance with the Sirius Kingdom."
Dongfang Yun continued.
"Haha, what a big hat. I have many capable soldiers and brave generals, so why can't I defend Dayu's attack?"
Lin Xiaofan sneered.
"Your Majesty, I have seen Lin Xiaofan's army commanding ability and strategy with my own eyes. It is several times or even dozens of times better than my own. If he takes action, with the same troops and horses, he will surely win against the Sirius Kingdom."
Xiao Tiansheng stood up and objected.
"Now the Tianwu Kingdom is eyeing the Tang Dynasty, and the Sirius Kingdom is also taking action against the Tang Dynasty. Under attack from both sides, the Tang Dynasty is likely to lose its territory. I sincerely request your majesty to form an alliance with Daqian."
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Many military generals came forward, and even some civil servants came forward. In an instant, the momentum overwhelmed Dongfang Yun.
There is no other reason for this, anyone with a discerning eye can see the situation.
Since Sirius chose to attack by surprise and send troops, there would definitely be a second or third time. Tianwu has always been dishonest and would definitely attack if given the opportunity. Under attack from both sides, Datang's interests were harmed.
Most of these officials are not saints. They generally put their own interests first, but the national interests are definitely second. After all, Datang was weak and it would only be bad for them.
This kind of thing will be avoided as much as possible.
Besides, it's just an alliance to fund some food and open up some trade. If the Sirius Kingdom insists on taking action and sends troops and horses to rescue them, it will not do any harm to the Tang Dynasty, and it will not cause any loss to their interests.
And the people who can stand here are all human beings. They can also see that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is interested in the alliance. If you stand up on your own, you can also please the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why not?
Hearing this, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty nodded slightly and said:
"Union! However, the specific details still need to be discussed."
"emperor!"
Dongfang Yun wanted to say something more, but was stared back by Wei Yuan, the Minister of Industry next to him. If you object at this time, you are making yourself unhappy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. For coming this time, I also brought a gift to Datang."
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty nodded slightly:
"Send it up."
It is normal for envoys to bring gifts when they come to form an alliance.
"Your Majesty, the gift I brought is called Lei Zhenzi. It is a sharp weapon. Once activated, it has infinite power. It is not easy to display it in this court."
When Lin Xiaofan spoke, Lei Zhenzi also expressed his sincerity.
After experiencing so many battles, Lei Zhenzi's matter must not be hidden anymore. Such sharp weapons will definitely be competed by countless countries and forces. Therefore, he was even more eager to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and obtain the protection of the Tang Dynasty.
Upon hearing this description, the Tang Emperor's interest was immediately aroused. He had heard about this thing countless times and wanted to get it very much. Even if Lin Xiaofan didn't mention it, he would still mention it.
"Okay, I am also curious about such rare things. Ministers, let's move outside the palace."
Emperor Tang stood up.
Seeing that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was so interested, the ministers had no intention of refuting, and they had also heard about Lei Zhenzi and were full of curiosity.
Everyone found an open space and formed a large circle consciously. The innermost layer is the palace guards holding shields and wearing armor, and the outer layer is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his ministers.
"Your Majesty, the power of Lei Zhenzi is terrifying, please step back a little more."
Lin Xiaofan visually measured the distance and spoke.
"The emperor's dragon body is important. This thing is very evil. I hope the emperor will take a few steps back."
The Minister of the Tang Dynasty ordered Yang Jin to speak. Shangshu Ling was in charge of Shangshu Province and was one of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, this object is extremely powerful. This distance is indeed too close."
Xiao Tiansheng also stood up. Unlike the others, he had personally witnessed the power of Lei Zhenzi. Although there was a circle of imperial guards protecting them, the explosion was likely to cause unnecessary casualties.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty glanced at Xiao Tiansheng and nodded slightly:
"Back three feet more."
"Your Majesty, three feet is too little."
After hearing this, Emperor Tang asked:
"Then how much do you think you should withdraw?"
"At least ten feet."
Lin Xiaofan answered truthfully.
