At this point, Nangong Mei grabbed Huang Qiong's side and seemed to be listening carefully, but the other side was full of evil. She had already penetrated into the mysterious hand that she could not touch for outsiders, and said helplessly: "I am discussing business with Your Majesty. Well. Can your Majesty be serious for a while? If your Majesty is moved by then, how can we continue to talk about this matter? I also know that your Majesty may not have had all the fun before. But your Majesty still has some pity on me, and you should give me a break. .The meat has already been delivered to your mouth, how can it still fly?"
Nangong Mei's words finally made Huang Qiong a little more honest. But this honesty, at best, can only be obtained from the bottom to the top. Looking at that hand, Nangong Mei, who also knew that this master had bad habits, had no choice but to give up the persuasion in the end. However, Huang Qiong said in Nangong Mei's ear: "Mei'er is right. This may not happen. However, judging from the losses suffered by Beiliao during last year's war, at least there will be no more than three to five years." It’s hard to bounce back.”
"Although Yu Mingyuan did not have the ability to counterattack into the hinterland of Beiliao, the tug-of-war around Yanshan Prefecture was also extremely difficult. In addition, Zhou Zhiyuan's struggles in the hinterland of Beiliao. Although he could not reproduce what he had done back then. Brilliant, but it still caused heavy losses to Bei Liao. As for the virtues of those elite soldiers who were released, I still know in my heart. Now Bei Liao has suffered heavy losses and will not be able to recover at all in a few years. Relying on the convenience of the geographical location , even though the imperial elite suffered heavy losses."
"Based on Yu Mingyuan's ability, Beiliao's losses could only be greater. Especially his infantry, almost all of which were eaten by Yu Mingyuan. Without the cooperation of the infantry, they wanted to break through the Great Wall. On the front line, I'm afraid I can only think about it at most. What Mei'er said is indeed very possible, but at least without a period of recuperation, Beiliao does not have the strength to cooperate with him going south. Without Beiliao's cooperation, the cavalry under his command will not count. No matter how elite he is, he may not have the ability to support his ambitions."
"Besides, since this guy caused so many things in the capital, I have also made certain arrangements in the northwest. The tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the Xijing camp are all old subordinates I led in Ningxia. They still have no loyalty. Question. When it was so difficult to suppress the rebellion, I only used a small number of troops and horses from the Xijing camp. Most of the elites were still prepared for him. Now that the rebellion of the puppet emperor has subsided, it is too late for him to do anything. ”
"What did he do the year before last and the year before last? If he had marched eastwards the year before last, or even last year, I might not have been able to cope with him even if I had only three heads and six arms. There might be some taboos against him. But now, what else does he want to do? , don’t even think about it. He wants to bribe a few military attachés to cooperate with his eastward march. Do you really think that I don’t have any arrangements? To be honest, if it weren’t for the annual income that worries me, I would be looking forward to his eastward march. To be honest I have the right time to settle accounts with him."
After hearing Huang Qiong's words and knowing his sad past, Nangong Mei didn't know what to say. She just lay quietly on his chest, but sighed softly, and said after a long time: "The year before last, his feathers in the Western Regions were far less plump than they are now. Moreover, at that time, he had not fully annexed Gaochang Uihe. The interior was not completed either. Complete integration. Outside, there are also bandits from the Kara Khanate from time to time. Even if he wants to advance eastward, he doesn't have the strength."
"At the same time, Bei Liao's eyes were all on the south. The few troops in the Northwest Army Division were not strong enough to suppress the tribes in Bei Liao. How could they have the energy to take care of him? But now it is different. He has already Completely controlled the territory of Gaochang Uighur. Integrated more than 100,000 troops and horses from Gaochang Uighur and other tribes. After the Northern Liao army withdrew, although it suffered heavy losses in the battle with the imperial court, it still had some room to deal with him. It's not like they were there. The border between Qi and Liao is also full of high mountains."
"Under the double persecution of the Northern Liao and the Kara Khanate, he may not be able to fight to the death. Therefore, Your Majesty still has to be careful of some of his desperate struggles. If there is only one Kara Khanate, he may be able to handle it. But if it happens again. Coupled with the behemoth Beiliao, he may not have the strength to deal with it. Moreover, as far as I know, Beiliao's heavy losses last year were all infantry. Their cavalry has not yet reached the point of breaking out. . When the time comes, we may not send troops to cooperate with him."
"What I mean is that there are two possibilities for the King of Shu to make such a big move in the Western Regions. Although fighting the Kara Khanate is more likely. But Your Majesty, you must also prevent him from threatening the Northern Liao, and Under the heavy pressure of the Kara Khanate, someone jumped over the wall in a hurry. He gave up all his foundations in the Western Regions and devoted all his efforts to move eastward. Even if this person was forced into that situation, he still dared to fight with all his strength. Moreover, this person was ruthless, It cannot be judged with ordinary eyes.”
Although I don't completely agree with Nangong Mei's words. In Huang Qiong's view, although the Northern Liao Dynasty was dissatisfied with the King of Shu because he annexed Gaochang Uihe. They were even more worried that he, who was also the prince of Da Qi, would attack the hinterland of Bei Liao from the northwest, where Bei Liao was weakest. But Beiliao may not really be willing to invest too much in Gaochang Huihe. In addition to Gaochang Uighur, there is no need for rescue now, and there are several key reasons.
That is the Northwestern Unified Army Division of Beiliao, while also suppressing the tribes in the northwest of Beiliao. They don't have that much strength to use troops against the Western Regions. And to mobilize troops from the hinterland of Northern Liao, it would require a long journey of thousands of miles. Facing the vast Western Region, a small investment in troops will not be effective. On the contrary, it will become someone else's meal. If it invests too much, Beiliao will not fail to consider whether its core eastern region is stable or not. Moreover, even if the King of Shu is destroyed, that territory is still an area that Northern Liao is actually unable to control.
What's more, they have to face another powerful Kara Khanate. Even if the King of Shu really gave up his territory and moved eastward under the pressure of Bei Liao. The area he currently controls falls into the hands of Bei Liao. In the end, Bei Liao is very likely to make wedding clothes for others. Maybe, the ultimate beneficiary of the territory he now controls will be the Kara Khanate. Xiao Yanyan, who is now in charge of Northern Liao, and the reigning emperor are all heroes of the moment, and they will not fail to see this result.
Most of them were in Beiliao, just to scare him. And this was something that the King of Shu, who was extremely shrewd and was especially good at conspiracy, could not fail to see. What's more, he knew that there were experts around King Shu. Even if the King of Shu couldn't see clearly the power of the fox and the tiger in Beiliao, the master next to him could definitely see it. Therefore, it is possible, though not necessarily impossible, that the King of Shu gave up his territory in exchange for the support of Northern Liao and cooperated with him in advancing eastward. But definitely not too big.
When the King of Shu abandoned everything and went to the Western Regions to start a new business, it was because he had no other choice in Daqi. It belongs to putting oneself to death and living later. As for now, after finally establishing such a large foundation in the Western Region, it is almost impossible for him to give up. Even if he faced the two-sided attack from the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Kara Khanate, he would not give up easily. Because that is the only place he has left now. If he fails to advance eastward, he will not even have a way out.
This time, that time. He dared to gamble when he was forced into a desperate situation, but he may not dare to gamble now. Even if he still has his heart set on the throne, he may really want to move eastward this time, but at least he has left a considerable force behind to protect his territory. In this way, Beiliao may not really cooperate with him. However, I am afraid that I will only know what this guy is doing in the Western Regions for now only when his soldiers appear outside Yumen Pass.
Although I don't quite agree with Nangong Mei's subsequent judgment. But Huang Qiong, who knew that this was also a beauty and was thinking about herself, did not say anything more about this matter. She gently kissed the beauty in her arms and said, "Mei'er deserves to be my girl's room. I will remember these good intentions. Mei'er can rest assured that once I return to Beijing, I will immediately start to readjust my arrangements and make plans." You are well prepared to deal with it, and you will definitely live up to Meier’s hard work.”
At this point, Huang Qiong's hand suddenly placed on the beautiful woman's buttocks, patted it several times, and said in a somewhat angry tone: "Even if I can't forget Meier in my heart, no matter how urgent the matter is. Meier is alone, Not even a few guards. Alone, with the scattered rebels and the remnants of Gao Zhisheng not yet completely eliminated, I ventured to this Shanchan Mansion. Even though I knew it was Meier, all this was for me. , I am still very angry."
"Don't you understand that Mei'er doesn't understand that no matter how high your martial arts skills are, when you encounter those stragglers, luckily a tiger can't fight a pack of wolves. Mei'er is so beautiful and beautiful, and she can easily be in danger. If Mei'er, for me, would encounter What kind of danger is it? How should I deal with myself? What should I do? What will happen to my two biological flesh and blood in the future? Meier, I am really angry this time. Even if you want to explain this matter to me , can’t you wait for me to return to Beijing, or bring more guards?”
Although Huang Qiong slapped her there a few times, it was a bit hot. But listening to Huang Qiong's affectionate words, Nangong Mei snuggled into Huang Qiong's arms and said shyly: "Your Majesty, I'm not here just to explain this matter. And, and, and, and. , I really miss Your Majesty a little. If I bring so many guards and are under the eyes of so many people, how can I meet Your Majesty? By then, won’t it be His Majesty who will be uncomfortable?"
"I have become very familiar with His Majesty's habits. Although it is safer to come here with an escort, there are still many people talking. Especially in the past two years, I have always felt that the head of the family has vaguely guessed The relationship between us. I can even guess Rui'er's life experience. Sometimes, maybe I have a ghost in my heart and a guilty conscience. Maybe I have seen it wrong. Occasionally, I can always feel that the head of the family looks at Rui'er with a complicated look. vision."
"What can I say about that kind of look? It means admiring and liking but sighing. Although the head of the family is strict with Rui'er, I know his heartfelt love for Rui'er. But the sighing look that occasionally appears, It always makes me feel like all the disguises have been stripped away. And I always feel that the head of the family knows something, but is hiding something from me. Especially in these years, I have not added a son and a half to the Fan family. Fan Dao , I’ve actually never been very good at that aspect.”
"In the past few years, we haven't had sex even once in three or two months. Even if we have sex once, we can't even have a cup of tea. Since we got married, the two of us have been more like a couple on the surface. Outsiders look at us , everyone thinks we are in harmony, but who knows the real inside story. I asked a doctor to take a look at it, but he was unwilling to do anything. But the Fan family's martial arts did not harm anything. "
Huang Qiong was stunned by Nangong Mei's words. Although he and Nangong Mei had had countless trysts and had sex before, Huang Qiong knew that in fact, between the two of them, Nangong Mei had always been passively catering to her. In my heart, it is more about the Fan family than falling in love with myself. Rather than feeling any emotion, I felt more helpless. Even later, there was a lot of resignation and the thought of breaking the jar.
