November 4th, evening...

In Weiyuan City, in the Governor's Office, the main hall was full of bells and music, dancing in a charming manner. On the left and right sides, local officials and gentry and a group of strangely dressed aliens were seated respectively.

As the master, Zhang Jiashou leaned against the master seat, glanced at the table of the alien from the corner of his eyes, and the arc of his mouth rose slightly from time to time...

But there were three alien men sitting in the row on the left, Tuoba Lu and Suguide, and the person in the center was Tuoba Yuhai, known as the God of War in the Desert.

At this time, the three men at the upper level of Mengluo stared at the dancing grace of the woman in the main hall, but there was no trace of evil thoughts on their faces, especially Tuoba Yuhai, who calmed down his strong face, and occasionally took the wine glass from the table and put it on his mouth and gently sipped it.

After three rounds of wine, Zhang Jiashou took the dancer from the hall, then raised his glass to Tuoba Yuhai and his group and said, "Dear guest, please drink this cup, may our friendship last forever..."

Tuoba Lu immediately raised his glass to return and said in his skillful Central Plains words: "Thank you for the hospitality of Governor Zhang, I hope our friendship will last forever..."

In addition to Tuoba Lu, Suguide and Tuoba Yuhai on the side just raised their glasses and responded without saying a word to him.

After a glass of wine fell down, Zhang Jiashou leaned comfortably on the back of the chair and said to Tuoba Yuhai and his group: "King Tuoba, what conditions are your country willing to offer Qianzhou?"

Tuoba Lu stood up and said, "Governor Zhang, I said when I came to the Holy Emperor of Luo that as long as Governor Zhang is willing to offer Qianzhou,

You are willing to divide the seventeen cities in the Western Regions and be appointed as the King of Sui, enjoying the treatment of Hachiman upper class,

I wish to let the prince of the Tuoba royal family marry your daughter. Governor Zhang, my Holy Emperor attaches great importance to you. Please be sure to carefully consider the preferential conditions he offered..."

When Zhang Jiashou heard this, he nodded slightly: "The Holy Emperor is indeed a big deal. He will be the seventeen cities in the Western Regions with one move. He is willing to let the son of the Mengluo clan marry my daughter.

Then please ask the distinguished guest to go back and tell the Holy Emperor that Qianzhou is the gateway to enterprising the Central Plains. The price is too low and I am not satisfied with it.

I am not familiar with the Western Regions and I have no ability to care about it. As for marriage, my daughter is still young and can't stand the harsh environment outside the border. She appreciates her kindness..."

Upon hearing this, Suquetai brows tightened and said to Zhang Jiashou in a deep voice: "Governor Zhang, what do you mean? Do you want to reject my sincerity of the release of the Monroe?"

Zhang Jiashou shook his head and replied, "Don't get me wrong. How could I refuse Emperor Mengluo's sincerity? If I really want to refuse, can you still sit here?

But after living in Xia, I suddenly arrived at the Western Regions where I was unfamiliar with my life, and I am afraid I can't adapt to it..."

Tuoba Lu stopped Sugaide and said to Zhang Jiashou: "Then please ask Governor Zhang to raise his own conditions. As long as it is reasonable, we Monroe will consider it at our discretion..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiashou immediately sat in a correct position and said to Tuoba Lu: "As long as you agree to the next few conditions, the Mengluo army can enter the pass without bloodshed at any time!

First, after the Monroe Empire entered the pass, we must ensure that the interests of our Zhang family cannot be violated.

Second, I will not go to the Western Regions. As long as I can control the three provinces of Yuan, Ganzhou and Qianzhou by me, I will be content.

Last point, Monroe Hachiman shall not interfere with any affairs in the territorial area of ​​the Chae family. Of course, in order to help the Monroe Empire obtain the hinterland of the Central Plains, I will provide all the tasks within my ability and do my best to help.

As long as you can agree, immediately set about replacing Xuanwu Pass with defense..."

After Zhang Jiashou finished speaking, he quietly waited for Tuoba Lu's reply. He believed very confidently that Tuoba Lu would definitely agree to his request.

However, before Tuoba Lu could speak, Tuoba Yuhai, who had been silent, put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice to Zhang Jiashou:

"The goodwill released by the Holy Emperor is enough. Governor Zhang, I would like to advise you to stop when you see it, and not to be more ruthless!"

Zhang Jiashou frowned and said to Tuoba Yuhai: "Prince Tuoba, what do you mean?"

Tuoba Yuhai said: "What does it mean, can't Governor Zhang hear it? No one in the world dares to speak with the Holy Emperor. What he said is the imperial edict, and you can choose the room!"

Zhang Jiashou turned black and bowed to Tuoba Yuhai and said, "Prince Tuoba, the conditions themselves are negotiated with each other. Is it because you say this to destroy the friendship between the two sides?"

"Friendship? You and I should understand that both sides just need it. Where does the saying of friendship come from?" Tuoba Yuhai looked at Zhang Jiashou with sharp eyes, "What's more, I, the Monroe, will not betray the interests of my fellow tribe with a dog official who is greedy for life and fears death, betrays the interests of his own tribe, and ignores the people under his rule. You are not worthy of talking about friendship with me!"

The Zhang family was so angry that they immediately stood up from the chair and stared at Tuoba Yuhai with an angry look on their faces. The local officials and gentlemen on the other side immediately shrank their necks and watched the changes in the palace hall tremblingly.

"You, what are you talking nonsense? Prince Tuoba, I sincerely treat you, but you insult me ​​like this. What is the point of being safe?" Zhang Jiashou pointed at Tuoba Yuhai and said in a trembling voice.

"Nonsense?" Tuoba Yuhai glanced at his eyes, got up and walked into the palace hall, and said to everyone, "Since I arrived in Qianzhou, I have seen countless frozen people just outside your Weiyuan City,

There are also hungry people in the city, but your Governor's Mansion is as warm as spring, with music and singing day and night. Do you really feel no worries about this?"

Zhang Jiashou replied: "This is my private matter. Prince Tuoba is too ungrateful..."

Tuoba Yuhai shook his head and sighed: "I didn't understand before, why can I defeat the Central Plains dynasty with hundreds of millions of people when I am a mere million people?

Now, I understand that the weakness of the Central Plains dynasty is caused by you, who only care about your own interests and ignore the lives of the people.

What strength can a dynasty that even his people do not know how to cherish and care? At best, he is a terminally ill fat man.

It looks like a giant, but in fact it is weak and vulnerable!”

Tuoba Yuhai's words were all ashamed, even Zhang Jiashou, because Tuoba Yuhai ruthlessly revealed the essence hidden in their hearts and did not regard the people as human beings at all, but as a tool to extract value and fill their personal pockets.

Tuoba Yuhai pondered for a moment, then returned to his seat and continued, "What's more, Governor Zhang, you are so anxious to cooperate with me, the Monroe, are you afraid there is something unspeakable hidden?

Zhang Jiashou frowned: "Prince Tuoba, what do you mean? What is this inconspicuous hidden secret in this governor..."

Tuoba Yuhai sat back together, picked up a chopstick, tapped the wine glass, and after a crisp sound of porcelain came out, he said slowly:

"Governor Zhang, do you still have to try to cover up in front of me? Liu Ce's power is about to sweep into your Qianzhou area. You have no choice but to cooperate with me, the Monroe!"

Zhang Jiashou shook his head and said, "Prince Tuoba, what is the inevitable connection between this and your cooperation? What does Liu Ce have to do with whether he comes or not?"

Tuoba Yuhai snorted coldly: "Do you have to say this? I have heard of this life in Liu Ce. Once he comes to Qianzhou, do you think you can still create the illusion of singing and dancing in the Governor's Mansion as safely as you are now?

The reason why you chose to cooperate with me at this time is purely because you are afraid of facing Liu Ce and afraid of losing power, so you will take risks. Please forgive me for saying that you have no way out except to accept the favors given by the Holy Emperor!”

Zhang Jiashou's Adam's apple couldn't help but roll, suppressing the fear of being exposed by Tuoba Yuhai, and still showed a calm face: "Prince Tuoba is too worried. Even if Liu Ce comes to him, I am not afraid. Qianzhou is my Zhang family..."

"Isn't your trump card that is so confident, the 200,000 defenders of Xuanwu Pass?" Tuoba Yuhai told Zhang Jiashou's thoughts in one sentence, "I want to rely on the strength of Xuanwu Pass to try to deal with Liu Ce and his Far East Army to increase his value, right?

Unfortunately, you broke your trump card. A few days ago, Japan and South Korea urged for food. In order to cooperate with this king, you ruthlessly rejected his request. In other words, there was a crack in your relationship with the defenders of Xuanwu Pass.

Will they be willing to work hard for you and become enemies with Liu Ce on hungry? Governor Zhang, you think people are so simple. You always feel that you are above you, and everyone should crawl under your feet and look up to you.

Unfortunately, often this practice is only in return for double hatred and hostility towards you, and you are too conceited..."

"Prince Tuoba, since you are unwilling to cooperate, there is nothing to say about this governor..." Zhang Jiashou was ridiculed by Tuoba Yuhai, and his confidence was a little lacking, "But I still hope that your country can carefully consider this governor's suggestion..."

"snort……"

Tuoba Yuhai snorted lightly, threw the chopsticks on the table, stood up and said, "Tuoba Lu, Suguide, let's go. I am really bored with this kind of dirty atmosphere..."

After saying that, Tuoba Yuhai shook his cloak and stepped out of the palace hall. Tuoba Lu hurriedly performed a humble ceremony with Zhang Jiashou, followed Suguidetai and followed Tuoba Yuhai closely...

When he arrived outside the office, Tuoba Lu couldn't help asking Tuoba Yuhai: "Wang, why did you treat Zhang Jiashou like this just now? You could have agreed on the conditions and you would be able to enter the pass next year to enter the Central Plains..."

Tuoba Yuhai looked at the night sky of the street, and said lightly: "Tuoba Lu, do you really think the Holy Emperor will have the energy to enter the Pass and the Occupy Central Plains next year?"

Tuoba Luqi said: "What? I, the Monroe, have recovered my energy. It's time to start a war again..."

Tuoba Yuhai shook his head and muttered softly: "The vitality has recovered, but the internal pressure is getting stronger and stronger. The Holy Emperor is over 50 years old and does not have that much energy to deal with the conflicts between the flags.

The most urgent task is to rectify the military appearance inside my Hachiman. This is the main problem we are facing now..."

Tuoba Lu pondered for a moment when he heard this and immediately showed a surprised expression: "Wang, can you be talking about Prince Murong?"

Tuoba Yuhai did not directly respond to Tuoba Lu's question: "The Murong family has an irreconcilable conflict with the monarch of Xia. Now, the 300,000 main army in the Zhenglan Banner has all gone to the northwest desert.
