The emperor hosted two Taisha nobles to gather together for several days without discussing any serious matters. Until today, the two Taisha nobles finally couldn't sit still and took the initiative to ask how to cooperate in the future.
During the dinner, Marquis Magaro said with a smile: "Emperor, do you think that since both of us are willing to cooperate, can we sign a treaty? Now a war is about to begin."
Hearing this, Mu Sheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Marquis, we are not in a hurry to talk about this. I would like to know how you internally in Taisha view the Celestial Dynasty's use of troops southward?"
Hearing this, Duke Jakkunpatula sneered and said: "Emperor, to tell you the truth, I have written to Prime Minister Parmika Takuba three times and five times to remind us that the Jin Dynasty came to us, but it is a pity that Tesha No one in the higher-ups believed what I said. They all believed that the first thing Jin would do when sending troops this time was to destroy you puppets before sending troops south again. Unfortunately, they didn’t even know that you, the emperor, had secretly formed an alliance with Jin. This would only Taisha was caught off guard, and everyone in Taisha's government and the public believed that our country was powerful and would not be afraid even if the Jin Dynasty came to conquer."
Mu Sheng asked: "Then how do you internally consider the restoration of the Laima Kingdom in Taisha? If the Sanmu tribe can be restored, I can make the decision to mediate in front of the Emperor of Jin Dynasty to avoid this unnecessary disaster? "
Hearing this, Magaro sighed: "We, Taisha, cannot restore the Laima Kingdom. After we obtained the Guixu grass from the Sanmu tribe, the interests involved were too great, and neither the government nor the opposition would let it go easily. It is even more impossible to restore Laima, and this war is simply unavoidable..."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he didn't know what to say. The Jin Dynasty had already sent an envoy to Taisha before deciding to send troops, and they got the same reply. Generally, if it can be resolved diplomatically, try not to take action. If you do, you have to spend a lot of money. , then I don’t know how much food will be consumed and how many soldiers will be killed.
Duke Jakkunpatula asked: "May I ask the emperor, will the Jin send troops to capture our Taisha land this time?"
Hearing this, Mu Sheng waved his hand and said: "No, don't worry. The purpose of Da Jin's sending troops this time is just to help Laima recover the country, and has no other demands."
Hearing this, Jakkunpatula nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved. Does your verbal promise to send an envoy before, the Emperor, still count?"
Mu Sheng chuckled and said, "That depends on your performance on the battlefield, Your Majesty the Duke."
Jakkunpatula frowned and said: "Great Emperor, if my army openly rebels against the royal family, I will fall into an unjust situation. Let alone climb to the high position of prime minister, Taisha will not tolerate me."
Of course Mu Sheng understood what he meant. The internal struggle in Taisha always involves one's own people fighting their own people. This is tolerable. If he dares to openly betray his country and stab his own people in the back on the battlefield, then he should not mess around in the country. He will spit on everyone. Yan also drowned him. After all, he is also a member of the Taisha clan. Traitors will only be despised at any time and in any country. Even if they are traitors, they cannot be sold openly.
Mu Sheng smiled like a big bad wolf and said: "I didn't ask you to rebel on the frontal battlefield. You can serve the country how you want. If Taisha is defeated on the frontal battlefield, I will You have to work hard to surround and kill the remnants of Prime Minister Pamija Takuba. By then, this old man's position as prime minister will be over. All you need to do is provide detailed intelligence and marching maps. If you Tesha can be lucky enough to defeat the Chinese army , I will pretend that you have never been to Yucheng, and the transaction between us will naturally not count."
Jakkunpatula thought for a moment and felt that this was a good idea. He could advance and retreat in a moderate way, so he agreed: "Okay! If you, the emperor, can help me to sit on the high position of prime minister, if our country is defeated, I will give you the ten promises." I will persuade the king to cede these nine cities to you."
Mu Sheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then it's settled."
The purpose of Duke Jakkunpatula is to get rid of the current prime minister. The Marquis Magaro wants to stop the current Emperor Taisha who is pursuing reforms and trying to concentrate power. The two have the same purpose, and Shan Puppet formally establishes an alliance with them. Later, Mu Sheng personally sent these two Taisha versions of "Qin Hui" back to betray the country.
Mu Sheng looked at the treaty signed by both parties and felt something in his heart. Jakunpatula was really generous. The nineteen cities he ceded were all directly under the Taisha royal family. He definitely didn't feel bad about this. In fact, It has also weakened the strength of the Taisha royal family in disguise. The nobles from all over Taisha will probably turn a blind eye and pretend they have not seen it. As long as these powerful people do not cut their own flesh, what will happen to the country? It's not within their scope of consideration...
A month later, in the castle dormitory, Muyinaqi took down a set of gorgeous mountain-puppet-style armor from the wooden stand and carefully put it on Young Master Sheng one by one.
After finishing dressing up, Mu Sheng grabbed Muyi Naqi's jade hand and persuaded him: "Naqi, please don't go with me on the expedition. I will feel more at ease if you lead the Black Bird Army to stay in Yucheng."
Muyinaqi broke away from Mu Sheng's big hand, turned around and said firmly: "Husband, put on the armor for me. I am the number one general under your command. Speaking of which, I have more battlefield experience than you. Have you only been on the battlefield a few times? Don’t forget, you are still my defeated general. Do you really think you are Borges’s veteran thief? Compared to me, you are still very young. , this is my first time commanding a large corps in battle, I should be worried about you."
Hearing this, Mu Sheng sighed and said while helping her put on her armor: "Okay! Okay! Madam taught you this, but you must stay with me and don't leave my sight."
Hearing this, Muyinaqi felt hot in her heart, knowing that he was worried about her safety. She turned around, kissed Mu Sheng, and said, "Don't worry! I have been on the battlefield for so many years, and no one can do anything about it." What, besides, although the number of the Black Bird Army under my command is not large, they are all top-notch elite warriors who dare to fight, so don’t worry!”
Mu Sheng stretched out his hand to caress her delicate face and said: "Okay, you and I are of the same mind, and we are as sharp as gold. Let's see who else in southern Xinjiang can be our opponent, hahaha..."
Muyinaqi smiled slightly and took the mask she often wore and attached it to her face. Even though she was fully armed, she was dressed in leather armor, which perfectly outlined her almost perfect devil figure. She had such a heroic appearance. A female general who is not inferior to men.
At this time, outside Yucheng, the 100,000 elite troops of the Shanpup tribe were ready to go. In addition to the civilians transporting grain and grass, there were hundreds of thousands of people and horses. They were crowded with people, flags fluttering, and there was no end in sight.
After the emperor and Muyinaqi left the city hand in hand, all the soldiers of the mountain puppet looked wildly in their eyes. They all knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor! The mountain puppet will win, long live the emperor! The mountain puppet will win..."
The voices of the soldiers of the three armies echoed at the foot of Yucheng Mountain.
The mountain puppet army's banners were fluttering, their swords and guns were like a forest, and they stood in a neat square formation in front of them. When the mountain puppet warriors saw the emperor's figure, it was like seeing a god.
Mu Sheng was extremely excited at this situation. It was the first time he led so many people to carry out a large-scale military operation. Wouldn't it be nice for him to stay in this mountain? I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Who the hell would want to go back to the Central Plains to accompany Xiao Xing and pretend to be a grandson in this situation?
When the military operation here is over, we will recruit the substitute trained by the Guo brothers and ask him to follow the Jin envoy back to Zhixian to work for me. I want to stay here to show off my prestige...
At this time, four people and four horses emerged from the army. They were the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Borzongbi, and the deputy general, Borjak. Although they were not monks, they were considered to be rare good talents in the Bor family. To the left of the two of them was Suchanur, the Lord of Wolf Castle. He was also wearing armor and came forward to greet the emperor.
After receiving Mu Sheng's order, Suchanur immediately led eight thousand Wolfsburg elites to join him. Of course, having already paid half a million military expenses in advance, even if he did not care about the emperor's face, he had to do it for the sake of money. For this purpose, Wolfsburg has always fought for money.
Next to the Wolf Lord, there is a woman with flowing silver hair, wearing armor, and a three-eyed ghost mask on her face. She is the chief of the Three-Eyed Clan, the eldest princess of Laima, Ahrami. Half of the ghost mask on Ahrami's face Only covering her eyes and nose, this ghost mask made the lower half of her face look as skin-like as snow, and her red lips looked like blood, giving people an indescribable sense of mystery and weirdness.
Mu Sheng was used to seeing her wearing long robes and wide sleeves like an ascetic. Today, it was the first time he saw her neatly dressed in military uniform, and it really made his eyes light up.
The patriarch Ahrami used his influence in the Sanmu tribe to recruit many old tribes scattered within the Taisha Dynasty, some warriors of the Sanmu tribe, a total of more than 5,000 people. Although the number is not large, each of them is Brave and skilled warriors, some of the Three-Eyed Tribe warriors have worked as mercenaries for Wolf Castle. They will definitely sacrifice their lives in this battle to restore the country.
Wolf Lord Suchanur and Ahlami also stepped forward to salute, and Mu Sheng nodded slightly to them.
Borzongbi and Borjak stepped forward and bowed and said: "Reporting to our ancestors, the soldiers of the three armies have been assembled. Please give me your instructions."
Mu Sheng waved his hand and said: "Okay! The army is in great shape. I am very relieved. I will tell the three armies that the army will set off immediately."
Borzongbi and Borjak bowed to accept the order and left. The drums and trumpets in the army were all the same. The strict phalanx of the mountain puppet army changed into a long snake. The army slowly moved forward. Mu Sheng and Muina Qi, the Wolf Lord, and the patriarch, all four of them marched together, leading their guards to ride to the meeting point of the Jin army...
Tens of days later, Shan Puppet's 100,000-strong army finally arrived at the border of Xinshan County. The densely packed military camps on the border were as dense as blocking out the sun. It can be seen that the 320,000-strong army of the Jin Dynasty was also assembled here for a long time.
At this time, the camp gate of the Jin army opened wide, and hundreds of horseback troops came towards the mountain. The first person was the old general Lu Sheng, who was still strong and strong in armor. Following him were Tang Jaw and Deng Qi. A deputy general, and the rest are all captains of the Jin army and a group of senior officers of the Jin army.
Lu Sheng walked forward with a smile and bowed to the emperor: "See King Zhennan. I am wearing armor, so it is inconvenient for me to salute you."
The soldiers behind Lu Sheng also saluted the emperor. They were not enemies now. The emperor was the King of Zhennan who was professed by the imperial court.
Mu Sheng replied: "No matter where! We are all working for His Majesty. General, you and I should work together to defeat Taisha as soon as possible, so as to fulfill the imperial mandate to His Majesty the Emperor."
Lu Sheng said with a wisp of beard: "King Zhennan is right. By the way, His Majesty also gave King Zhennan 20,000 sets of refined armor and weapons. I hope King Zhennan understands how much our emperor attaches importance to this battle."
Immediately, Lu Sheng waved his hand back, and thousands of soldiers and civilians poured out of the Jin army's camp, pushing heavy carts towards the mountain puppet army.
When Mu Sheng saw this, he was naturally very happy. He faced the direction of the capital of Jin Dynasty, bowed and saluted from afar, and said: "Long live my emperor, God's grace is so great. After this battle, I will definitely send an envoy to make a special trip to express my gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor."
Lu Sheng nodded with a smile and said: "King Zhennan is so polite. This time King Zhennan surrendered to Jin Dynasty and it really saved us a lot of trouble..."
Lu Sheng also sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that the two sides were fighting to the death a few years ago, but now they actually turned around and became allies? The old general looked back at the endless Jin army tents that stretched for dozens of miles. He was secretly proud in his heart. It seemed that the barbarian lord was also aware of current affairs. If the emperor had sent him so many elite troops earlier, he would have been Perhaps the nail of Shan Puppet has been removed long ago. Compared with the current military operations, it could only be regarded as a small fight in the past.
