Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh, each has a ghost (below)
When he heard Ning Yuan talk about the question of boundary division, Hu Xiaotian pretended to think about it, and then replied: "My brother helped us seize Jiayuguan for free. Without his brother, there would be no Linhai Empire now.
Over the years, Brother Wei has been thinking about how to repay his good brother, but he never had a chance.
This time, our two countries can be bordered, which can be said to be God's arrangement, allowing us brothers to rely on each other back to back.
My brother has paid for it for free last time, so it’s my turn this time.
Where to divide the borders between our two countries, it depends entirely on your words.
As long as you speak, brother, you will never raise any objection."
Hu Xiaotian is ready to completely oppose the Eagle Empire. No matter where the border line is divided, he will not count in the end. Therefore, he is very generous in the border issues raised by Ning Yuan, and has the kind of brotherly style of thinking about everything for his brother.
Looking at Hu Xiaotian who was calm and generous from beginning to end, Ning Yuan knew that the other party had made up his mind to completely turn against him, so he acted indifferent to everything.
Although he was ready to fight a life-and-death battle with the Linhai Empire, so far, he was not fully prepared. It would take some time to dispatch troops and supplies from the rear, so he had to find a way to delay the war.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuan immediately spoke, "Brother Xiaotian is so open-minded, it's really a terrifying brother.
Although Brother Xiaotian, you really want to take care of me, as a brother, I can’t be more capable of taking advantage of me.
Then our two countries take the area between Dingxi and Lanzhou as the national border. Dingxi belongs to my brother's Condor Empire, and Lanzhou belongs to your Linhai Empire, Brother Xiaotian.
I wonder what Brother Xiaotian thought?”
Dingxi is the eastern gate of Lanzhou. During the ancient Silk Road period, it was an important gateway to communicate between the east and west.
Occupying Dingxi and several surrounding counties will firmly seal the enemy's way to advance eastward and stabilize the west, and the name of Dingxi is also derived from this.
Hu Xiaotian has been playing Tai Chi with Ning Yuan, and his intention is already obvious.
Through a conversation with Hu Xiaotian and combined with the recent movements of the Linhai Empire army, Ning Yuan had already guessed that Hu Xiaotian was not fully prepared, and he was also waiting for the army and materials from the rear to arrive at the front line.
Although neither empire is fully prepared, compared to the later realization of the Condor Heroes Empire, the Linhai Empire of Tiger Roaring Sky has obviously made some preparations in advance.
The Demon Clan and the Tiger Man of the Linhai Empire were obviously both beasts deliberately put in by the Northern Expedition Alliance in order to deal with the Condor Heroes Empire.
Before the Demon Clan was defeated, the tigers of Linhai Empire were always a spare tire, and the Northern Expedition Alliance would not let them cross the Yellow River.
Based on the time when the Condor Armies encountered the Tiger Army, the Tiger Army should have been let go of the Yellow River by the Northern Expedition Alliance after the demons gave up Hanzhong.
In other words, although Hu Xiaotian had already colluded with the Northern Expedition Alliance for a long time, the Northern Expedition Alliance did not give him a clear time to cross the river.
Because it is impossible to determine the exact time to cross the river, Hu Xiaotian dared not assemble all the troops in advance.
After all, the consumption of the army is astronomical every day. If the Northern Expedition Alliance releases their pigeons for a year or two, they may not be able to wait for the time to cross the river because of their logistics.
Since everyone is not ready, things will be easy to handle.
No matter how fast Tiger Xiaotian's army gathers ahead of the Condor Heroes, as long as they have not arrived at the front line, Tiger Xiaotian will not dare to start a war easily.
Because if he wanted to start a war, he would not have waited until today.
So Hu Xiaotian should now be like Ning Yuan, and he wants to delay time until his subsequent army arrives, but the army of Linhai Empire should be faster than the Condor Heroes Army.
So after thinking through these situations, Ning Yuan decisively spoke up and asked Hu Xiaotian for actual control of the Dingxi region.
Since Hu Xiaotian likes to play a selfless brother role, Ning Yuan simply fulfilled him to see if he can continue to pretend.
After hearing Ning Yuan ask for Dingxi from him, the smile on Hu Xiaotian's face gradually disappeared.
Although this was his first time to come to the east bank of the Yellow River, he was still very clear about the geographical location of Dingxi.
If the Dingxi region is lost, Lanzhou will immediately become an isolated city. Unless the Linhai Empire can have a powerful naval army, it will easily be isolated on the east bank of the Yellow River.
He originally wanted to play against Ning Yuan, so he tried to stay in a stalemate, waiting for the arrival of the subsequent army.
Unexpectedly, Ning Yuan actually hit the snake and followed the stick and climbed up.
He had already praised Haikou just now, but if he just regretted it directly, he would probably be embarrassed.
He now wants to save face, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of by Ning Yuan.
After pondering for a while, Hu Xiaotian's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately had an idea.
"Since my virtuous brother wants to Dingxi, I will send that area to my virtuous brother.
But my brother has to give me a few months to move. After all, the people in Dingxi really defect to me, and I must be responsible for them. I plan to use three months to move them to the Western Regions." Hu Xiaotian said with a bright voice.
Face must be saved, but Dingxi will never give it. Three months seem to be too long, but many things can happen. I am afraid that it will not take three months, and the two empires will be fully developed.
Seeing Hu Xiaotian playing with him, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Xiaotian really loves the people as much as his son.
In this way, I can't use Brother Xiaotian's Dingxi area in vain. In return, I will send the Silver Pegasus Knights to Dingxi to help Brother Xiaotian transfer the people there.
The silver horsepower is extremely powerful, and it can directly cross the Yellow River. In this way, it will take less than three months and only three days to cross the Yellow River in Dingxi."
Hu Xiaotian wanted to use the drag technique, but Ning Yuan refused to let him succeed. Unless he could drag the Condor Heroes gathered in the rear to the battlefield, Ning Yuan would rather start the war now.
Although it is very unfavorable to the Condor Heroes Army, Ningyuan can send a flying corps to block the various ferries on the Yellow River, and then use cavalry to harass the enemy's food routes, let the infantry defend the city, and forcibly drag them until the arrival of the subsequent army.
However, unless it was absolutely necessary, Ning Yuan was still unwilling to break up with the Linhai Empire now.
Because of the forced war, with the current configuration of the Condor Armies in Gansu, their ground legion will be very passive, and even the Dwarf Rock Sheep Knight Legion will encounter huge challenges.
When the subsequent army arrives, these legions on the front will surely suffer heavy losses.
This situation was something Ning Yuan didn't want to see, because behind him was there a Northern Expedition Alliance staring at him.
If the Condor Heroes lose heavily, it will create opportunities for the Northern Expedition Alliance out of thin air.
So Ning Yuan now just wants to force Hu Xiaotian to surrender and step into the trap he has set up, and gain enough time for the subsequent army to arrive.
Under Ning Yuan's step-by-step pressure, Hu Xiaotian's face immediately became a little gloomy. Not to mention Dingxi, he didn't want to give it to Ning Yuan even in an ordinary small village.
"Brother, I have been traveling day and night these days, and I haven't had a good sleep. My head is a little heavy. I can't do it anymore. I must make up for it quickly. Let's talk about these things tomorrow!
Oh, no, Hubiao, come and help me quickly, I feel dizzy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Xiaotian fell from his mount.
Because he could not think of a countermeasure for a moment and was not able to turn against Ning Yuan openly, Hu Xiaotian simply acted as a scoundrel.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Seeing Hu Xiaotian falling from his mount, Hu Biao immediately rushed up and helped him up, then helped Hu Xiaotian and walked back.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen really shameless people. Looking at Hu Xiaotian's clumsy performance, Ning Yuan was so angry.
