Section 1: Dangerous Eggs (1)
The plain and simple residence of the Minister of State ushered in the most lively night today. Today is the fiftieth birthday of the Khanate Minister Lei Juetian. Although the Minister of State is not very interested in this Tanghe custom of celebrating birthdays, as he has reached the Maqi Khanate, some things are beyond his control.
Bi Xili Khan had to attend his birthday banquet in person, so Lei Juetian had to grit his teeth and set up a table of banquets, but think about how the banquet that even Da Khan had to attend in person could be missing other important officials of the Khanate? Before the birthday, he asked about the banquet situation through various methods and said that more than three guests were disturbed. This made Lei Juetian very upset but had to accept it. These were his colleagues, and almost all of them were known as the characters.
The scholars of the Tang clan have become the first person under the Maqi Khanate. Although the Khan trusts him very much, there are still some opinions about the Khan in China. If it weren't for his hard work for the Maqi Khanate over the past twenty years that the Maqi Khanate made the Maqi Khanate prosperously surpass Milan, the South China Alliance and other close neighbors, and become a powerful country in the Eastern Continent, which is ranked among the three strong countries, I'm afraid that more people would criticize him.
Lei Juetian has a clear understanding of this. He did not want to control the government of the Maqikhanate, nor did he have the will to cultivate his own power. With Bi Xili's talent and strategy, no one could do this. Therefore, except for Lei Juetian, one of the Tang tribes, all the important officials, especially military generals, came from Maqikhan's own tribe without exception. This is also one of the important reasons why Lei Juetian could speak out in the entire Maqikhan's court. No one believed that Lei Juetian had the intention to seize the power of the Maqikhanate. After all, he was only in charge of the government. Bi Xili from above and many court officials from below, and the army was firmly controlled by the Maqikhan's own tribe. Even Ben Song, the commander of the Imperial Guard, who had always had no colds against Lei Juetian, had to admit that Lei Juetian did better than anyone else in this regard.
As Lei Juetian himself, he had no other hope. His idea was very simple. If you treat me with a national warrior, I will repay him. From a loser who has been abandoned to a minister of state who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, although he has left his hometown, Lei Juetian does not regret it. It is the same until now. In this way, what else can he ask for in life?
Of course, there is another idea deep in his heart that can only be hidden deep in his heart forever, that is, to immerse the Tanghe culture and art into the entire Maqikhan Kingdom bit by bit. In his opinion, the greatest conquest is actually the conquest of culture and art. Territorial and military conquest is only temporary. Only by slowly conquering the excellent and advanced culture and art of his own nation is the highest level. Although he is working wholeheartedly for the powerful Maqikhan, he also brings a civilized wind to the Maqikhan people from the Tang world.
Under his own leadership, the entire Maqi Khanate became subtly influenced by it. From top to bottom, it set off a long-lasting trend of learning Tanghe civilization, which caused all classes in the entire Maqi Khan society to gradually admire Tanghe civilization and learn Tanghe culture. Lei Juetian could not assert that what this trend could bring to the Maqi Khan society. But this may only be this. He didn't know whether he wanted to find a little balance in his own psychology. Maybe it was just a self-comfort.
But these were just thoughts that flashed through Lei Juetian's mind at some point. When he really faced the important military and political affairs of the Khanate, he immediately devoted himself to it and completely forgot everything, just like this.
The banquet has dispersed, everything that should be left, and everything that should be left has been left. Although Lei Juetian's mansion is very simple, it is spacious. He likes quietness, so the requirements in this regard are higher. An independent courtyard with a quiet small garden, he usually thinks and studies government affairs alone in the study next to the garden.
But at this time, his study was occupied by a magpie nest. Naturally, it was the great khan of the Maqi Khanate, Bixili, and he could only sit down. There were no more than ten people in the entire Khanate, and now there were five people in the study.
Bi Xili was interested in the dark jade Pixiu placed on Lei Juetian's desk. Judging from the appearance of the jade Pixiu, it was obviously an antique with a considerable age. The somewhat gloomy stone felt cool and faintly. Although the fine carvings have experienced many years, they are still very exquisite. Pixiu is a common object for the Tang clan to maintain houses. It is naturally clear to Bi Xili, who is familiar with the Tang clan culture. This dark jade Pixiu is a collection found in an official residence where Maqihan conquered Yushan Mansion in Sanjiang County. This collection was handed over as a trophy and was a reward for conquering Yushan. Bi Xili gave this item to Lei Juetian, which has become Lei Juetian's favorite favorite thing to play with motorcycles.
"Turu, how is the situation in the north?" While stroking the jade Pixiu, Bi Xili's eyes fell on the intelligence minister who had been sitting flat.
"Return to Your Majesty, the war between Li Wufeng and the Situ family has just begun. Both sides have invested a lot of troops in Yunzhong, especially Situ Tai's side. They have invested more than 300,000 troops, which has reached twice the strength of the Western Frontier Army. They have formed a siege in the north, east and south lines of Yunzhong. Among them, Duodu sent their Biao Guard Corps and Phoenix Corps. Yunzhongfu City has a short wall, and there is no moat, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and is close to the north.
It is very difficult for the Western Xinjiang Army to defend this place, especially Situ Tai has pushed his commander to the front line this time. It seems that he is preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to compete with Li Wufeng. However, due to the commander's stupidity in the early stage, they lost the opportunity to seize Yunzhong Mansion City, which has some impact on them, but my personal opinion will not affect the overall situation." The Minister of Intelligence said concisely, and he knew that his lord did not like to repeat words.
"Then why do you think Li Wufeng didn't push his First Corps to the Northern Line? Are you worried that Situ Biao had joined forces with Situ Tai or is he going to swallow the Wuhu area with his main force of the First Corps?" Bi Xili seemed to have seen a strange point in this battle.
"Situ Biao and Situ Tai are indeed in close contact, but I'm sorry for the situation inside. Your Majesty, we have not received any valuable information so far. Whether Li Wufeng put his First Legion in Guansai was for defense preparation or attack preparation, we cannot be sure now. Perhaps the complex and sensitive situation in the southern region forced Li Wufeng to do so. This war, coupled with the battle between Luo Beiren and Li Wufeng's Western Front Army, can be said to be a war that determines the fate of the Tanghe people. No matter which line of failure, it will probably lead to the complete collapse of Li Wufeng's ruling system in Western Xinjiang. I believe that Li Wufeng saw this, and his enemies may also
It can also be seen that he could not be careful. Leaving a reserve team can not only shock the south, but also prevent us or Situ Biao from joining the battlefield because of the emptiness in the south, but also serve as a temporary emergency mobile force to be put into the front line at any time. Now, the road conditions between Kansai, Heshuo and Beiyuan have improved a lot, and Li Wufeng has specially formed a transportation force throughout the West Xinjiang. Their mobility has been much improved. Compared to the past, the method is much more efficient and can save physical strength for soldiers. This may be the main reason why Western Xinjiang dares to place the First Legion in Guansai."
The information that Tulu mastered was quite detailed and accurate. Except for the inability to obtain accurate reports on the relationship between Situ Tai and Situ Biao, everything else is under control. The war in the north not only affects the fortune of the entire Tanghe Empire and the Tang people, but also has a considerable impact on neighboring countries and forces. On this point, Maqikhan's views on the dynasty are consistent. Whether to get involved in this war has become an urgent issue for the Maqikhans to make decisions.
"Tiancheng, what do you think?" Nodded thoughtfully, Bi Xili's broad and slightly dark face was flowing, and he was obviously very interested in Tulu's introduction.
"Your Majesty, Lord Tulu said very much. This battle is probably not just a war that determines the fate of the people of Tanghe, but will also have a great impact on the surrounding countries and forces. Otherwise, Duo Dun will not join in with such enthusiasm. As for the relationship between marriage and in-laws, it is just a way to cover up the eyes. Who would launch a big war for a woman? Even if she is a princess and queen, it is impossible. Whether we need to join is probably also a look at the timing. After the Battle of Sanjiang, we have suffered a lot of losses. In addition, the Battle of Peninsula also has certain damage to our morale. If we want to join this battle, how can we join? The purpose is to
Everything needs to be clear. Shang Beiyi thought that so far, we did not have an accurate goal in the court. "Pu Tiancheng, wearing a purple battle robe, had a cold face and was sitting in the guest seat. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the operation of this battle at this time. In his opinion, before the firefight between Xijiang and Situ Tai, he should have considered various response plans, which side to join, how much mobilization to achieve, and what purpose should be achieved. These should have been based on one or even several plans before the war broke out, and based on the situation manifested in the outbreak of the war, and choose a plan that best suits one's own interests to implement.
