Chapter 489: "·Southern Union"

Nothing in life is more pleasing and glorious than seeing your enemies kneeling and begging for mercy in front of you. Once handled properly, the glory will double. It is appropriate to forgive the enemy and stop before the victory.

Duke Patel, the prime minister of the empire, is one of the most powerful and wise dukes in the empire. As the contemporary head of the Watson family, one of the five major families of the empire, the ability of Duke Patel is recognized as outstanding by the empire.
The emperor, Charles the Great, was the wise emperor who had made almost no mistakes for eighteen years. Perhaps, for his emperor, his greatest shortcoming was that the emperor’s position was not so glorious, but This does not affect his brilliant image.
The passage of time can always cover up the truth that the winner does not want to be known. The past 18 years has made the storms of that year calm. The world living in the present, who can still remember the scene 18 years ago What about the imperial massacre?
Charlie the Great and Prime Minister Patel, the emperors and prime ministers who imitate the typical emperors and ministers, are the real helm of the Dragon Empire; how could they put down such a serious mistake and embarrass the empire in a two-line battle?
The suspicious heads of the five families in the South border did not say anything more, but put their attention on their inner thoughts; they did not lift up again until Long Teng lightly tapped the table a few times. Own head.
"You, the empire's major decision-making mistake, in the final analysis is that the emperor and the prime minister are unwilling to compromise with the Turkic tribe." When everyone looked up at themselves, Long Teng continued: "You all know that the Turkic tribe just sat on the Khan last year. Khan a bit?"
"Gili Khan?" Sun Kui, who still knows the situation in northern Xinjiang, wondered: "He is not the third son of Qimin Khan, was he the younger brother of Khan and Chu Luohan? How did he make a Turkic tribe? Khan?"
"Yes, he did take the seat of the Khan of the Turkic tribe." Long Teng explained rather helplessly: "If it were not for the death of Qimin Khan, the beginning Bi Khan and Chu Luo Khan died suddenly, Where did he get his auspicious turn to be the Khan of the Turkic tribe."
"However, what does Khan have to do with our empire?" Li Mubai of unknown reason asked. "Is it because he made Khan of the Turkic tribe, and the Turkic tribe will dispatch 200,000 cavalry to invade our empire?"
"This is not going to happen. Gilli Khan’s succession is not as smooth as the outsiders imagined. He inherited the Khan by forcibly suppressing other heirs; but too many people disobeyed him, so much that he did not Way to rule the entire Turkic tribe.
Therefore, in order to gain the support of the Empire to consolidate his rule in the Turkic tribe, he sent a messenger to His Majesty the Emperor, hoping to obtain the support of the Empire on the condition of nominally descending to the Empire; and his so-called support is that His Majesty the Seventh Princess Marry him. "
"Fart!" Romanov, grumpy, angered on the spot: "How can the seven princesses of our empire marry the barbarians in the north as a bargaining chip?! This makes our empire warriors, and what kind of face to survive in the world. ?!"
"Romanov, can't you change your temper?" Bai Haotian, startled, smiled bitterly: "You don't want to think about it, if your emperor agreed to the conditions of Geely Khan, the empire will still be like this Are you stuck in a two-line battle?"
"Although I also don't approve of marrying the Seven Princesses to Gili Khan, the reality before us is cruel; the empires caught in the two-line battle are no longer able to support the expansion of our southern border area. We must find ways to deal with the barbarians ourselves. Human expansion."
"Duke, do you mean, under the premise that the empire does not agree with us to expand and prepare for war, do we expand and prepare for war ourselves?" Li Mubai, who has always been cautious, hesitated: "If this matter is known by His Majesty the Emperor, then we have expanded our arms privately. Serious sin!"
"Mu Bai, I know you are worried about the reaction of His Majesty the Emperor, but do we have a better way?" Sun Kui, who had a deep personal relationship with Li Mu Bai, advised him: "If we wait until the barbarians take the initiative to attack us, then we can There is no chance of returning."
"Yeah, Mu Bai." Bai Haotian, who also has a good relationship with Li Mu Bai, also echoed: "Instead of being killed by barbarians at that time, we might as well take advantage of the time we have to fight to expand our arms and prepare for war. Maybe we still have a chance to win. "
"Mu Bai, don't think so much." As the Duke's Dragon, he also explained: "Even if the emperor knows our army expansion and preparations, he can't punish our five major families; after all, we are really in the southern region. 'S guardian!"
"Duke, since everyone thinks that the barbarian threat should be dealt with through the expansion of military preparations, then I agree; but, how should we expand the military preparations? Is it to expand the army of each family, or should everyone join forces to expand the army?"
Hearing what Li Mubai said, Long Teng, Bai Haotian, and others were also caught in their thoughts. The independent expansion of the army and the joint expansion of the army have their own advantages and disadvantages. The former can maintain the independence of each family, and the latter can increase the efficiency of army expansion.
After a long time of thinking, the only duke, Long Teng, took the lead in breaking the quietness of the secret room: "Masters, I think our five southern families can join forces to form a Southern Alliance to ensure the safety of our southern region. "
"Southern Alliance?" Bai Haotian and others exclaimed in unison.
"It's the Southland Alliance! In addition to the legions that each of our families control, we can concentrate the elite troops of our five families and form a new knighthood and a swordsman regiment as the alliance's direct army.
As for the expansion of the legions of our families, we can join forces to expand the legions; for example, the Bai family is responsible for expanding weapons, the Li family is responsible for expanding equipment, the Sun family is responsible for expanding troops, and our dragon family is responsible for expanding horses. "
"Duke, I have no objection to the proposal of this southern alliance, but should the expansion of the five legions be consistent? In addition, who should give the newly formed knights and swordsmen to command?" Sun Kui asked everyone Common problems in mind.
"Our southern border knights, I think it can be formed by five of our five 600 knights; then my eldest son Long Ze is the leader, Sun Jian of the Sun family and Li Yuan of the Li family are the deputy commanders, and each of them directly commands one Thousand knights.
The Southland Swordsmen Regiment can be formed by five of our eight hundred sword masters; then Bai Gewen, Bai Haowen and Bai Haowu, the twin sons of the Bai family, will serve as commanders, and Alexei and Feodor of the Andre family will serve as deputy commanders. . What do you think? "
Long Teng's unbiased arrangement not only considered the ranking of the strength of the five major families, but also took into account the principle of relative fairness; the four people present naturally have nothing to say about this, but Bai Haotian still said: "Duke, that five What about the expansion of the Legion?"
"I think we can adopt a targeted expansion plan to expand the ninth and eleventh legions with relatively high military pressure to 20,000, and the other three legions to 15,000; so that we can maximize Limit our pressure to expand our army to a minimum.
"I agree with the Duke's plan to form the Southland Alliance!" As one of the biggest beneficiaries, Bai Haotian agreed to the plan.
"I agree." Li Mubai, the weakest Li family, was followed.
"I agree." After thinking for a long time, Sun Kui and Romanov both approved the plan.
