Gu Beiyan was stunned, his lips moved twice, but he made no sound, as if he was deep in thought.

At the same time, Jiang Fan also fell into deep thought.

Have you really overlooked something...

Meng Laoshuai suddenly reached out and patted Gu Beiyan on the shoulder: "Child, get up. Let's drink today. Think carefully."

Gu Beiyan stood up blankly. Meng Laoshuai glared at Jiang Fan: "Why are you still standing there? The three of us will have a good drunken time today!"

…

After the old commander left, Jiang Fan and Gu Beiyan were the only two people left in the room.

Jiang Fan was not drunk at all. He held the wine bowl in one hand and pondered for a long time: "Yanzi..."

Gu Beiyan was also deep in thought, and only came back to his senses when he called softly.

"...Am I too selfish?" Jiang Fan looked at her apologetically and said.

Gu Beiyan was stunned and said nothing.

Jiang Fandao: "All this time, I have forgotten that you are also an individual with your own emotions and pursuits. I only think about and am only used to the way you behave in a mortal world... but I completely ignore your feelings. I'm sorry.

"

Gu Beiyan slowly raised his head, his eyes becoming a little clearer: "No, it was me who was wrong. What the old commander just said was right. I was more selfish and forgot... You are the real cornerstone of the Qin Dynasty. My role should not be on the battlefield.

."

Jiang Fan stared at her: "No one should regard serving others as their biggest role. Yanzi, I know you still have entanglements, and so do I. You must know that I treat you as a family member, a family member who is as familiar as the palm of my hand...

”ωωw..net

Gu Beiyan listened, and there seemed to be ripples in his beautiful eyes.

"But family members should respect each other. I think... this time may be an opportunity. I should let you go. After this time, you can decide again. If you finally feel that it belongs on the battlefield, I will not stop you. But if..."

"If I miss home, I will come back. Thank you."

Gu Beiyan's eyes became extremely firm, firm yet full of deep gratitude.

Jiang Fan smiled softly, then let's walk the rivers and lakes side by side again? Just like the first time?

Gu Beiyan suddenly frowned: "That won't work, you are too wordy!"

Jiang Fan:......

——

Therefore, all the candidates to enter Northern Xinjiang this time were finalized, including Meng Tian, ​​Lin Nanyan, Lu Hanting, Yun Fuyao, Meng Yi, Hathaway, and Gu Beiyan.

What’s interesting is that last time I went to Northern Xinjiang for the Seven Elders, this time I made seven little ones instead.

In the words of a fisherman, a new generation replaces an old one. The younger generation will always rise up and take on big responsibilities. It is time to join the world and walk.

Jiang Fan deeply agreed with this, but he refused the escort from Fisherman, Tian Yuan and others. It is possible to protect the road, but no one will always accompany you on the road in the world. Sooner or later, you have to face the storms you should face.

However, under the strong request of the older generation, everyone still received some advice and some life-saving capital. Even the non-staff Prince Durun received a magic weapon for protection, which shocked him.

It is also full of surprises and has a strong sense of recognition.

Later, Yang Du was shocked by a piece of news.

Because the barbarian Maru tribe invaded the border, the empress was furious. Not only did she send people to kill the leader of the Maru tribe and kill more than 7,300 border invaders, she also dispatched troops and generals to start a war with the Hunxie King's tribe.

Later, under the dissuasion of the courtiers, the empress issued a letter of credence to the Golden Horde, asking the Great Wolf Lord to compensate for the losses, and directly issued three conditions.

1. Compensation of 100,000 yuan for cattle, sheep and horses.

Second, the compensation is one million taels of silver.

Third, send the bride to the Crescent Moon Princess.

The state's writings make it clear that if it were not the case, an army of 200,000 would march into the grassland to conquer King Hunxie.

As soon as this incident came out, the whole Yang was boiling.

It's amazing! To be honest, this is the first time in thousands of years that the Chinese have been so tough. None of these three conditions have ever appeared in history. Moreover, basically because they are violating the border, we have to compensate them and satisfy their appetites to ask them to withdraw their troops.

Now it's completely reversed, and there is a strong tendency to start a war if they don't agree.

In addition to shock, the world is basically filled with two emotions.

First, he felt proud and proud. After thousands of years of humiliation, how could he ever be so strong-willed? It really made people feel excited.

Second, worry. First of all, looking at these three conditions, each of them seems impossible for the other party to accept. Compensation for cattle, sheep, horses, and even gold and silver has been a humiliating counter-compensation for the Chinese people since ancient times in order to settle troubles. Not to mention asking the other party to send a princess.

The terms of the marriage. According to historical records, when did the Chinese not compromise and give their own princess to the barbarians?

This time, there was a shocking turn of events. The barbarians were not even allowed to agree, so why were they so angry?

But has the Empress thought about it? If a war breaks out, she will definitely face very terrifying problems.

First, can the national power of Qin be sustained? It has only been a few years since the Four Kingdoms conquered Qin, and the national power has not yet been fully restored. Can it afford it? With an army of 200,000, if nothing else, the consumption of food and grass alone is shocking. Not to mention

There is a terrifying loss ratio. There is a saying in ancient expeditions, which is that when transporting food for a thousand miles, only one stone can be transported.

The army said that the expedition to the Northern Xinjiang to attack the Hunxie King would probably reach an astonishing ratio of dozens to one. This is a fact and everyone knows it. As the journey becomes farther and farther, I am afraid that this number will become even more terrifying. However, this is just one of them.

Just one item.

Second, the feasibility of war. In history, the barbarians invaded the border countless times. The Chinese approach was basically the same, which was to try to strengthen the defenses after driving the opponent out. It was difficult to conduct an expedition. This is consistent with the mobile and flexible living habits of the barbarians.

Such a big relationship, not to mention climatic conditions, long-distance transportation, etc., each of which is extremely restricted.

This is the root of worry. It is difficult to fight and cannot be fought. But if this is the case, then what is the use of this credentials? Is it just to intimidate the other party and feel happy?

And there are many far-sighted people who have a huge worry, that is, once Qin and Northern Xinjiang go to war, will the Four Nations take the opportunity to make a comeback...

But since he came to the throne, His Majesty has always been true to his words and resolute in his actions. If the empress really makes up her mind to go on an expedition, the good days of Qin will be over.

This matter started to spread from the capital of Yang to the outside world, and there was a confusing and dull episode in it. The certificate of credence actually requested the marriage of Princess Crescent Moon, the apple of the eye of the Great Wolf Lord of the Golden Tribe Palace and the saint of the entire grassland.

To the General Montaigne. The reason is a bit funny. It is said that the barbarians invaded the border and the General was injured and needed compensation.

This bizarre incident has also become an inexplicable topic of conversation.

Just when everyone was worried and the people were talking a lot, another shocking news came. Jiang Fan, the Western Heavenly King of the Kingdom of Dazhou, angrily responded to the Qin State in the name of his wife. One hundred thousand private troops began to gather in the Yuzhou fiefdom, claiming that if they disagreed, they would retaliate in kind.
