Fortunate Young Gentleman

Old Zheng and several elders were not at home these days. They went out to subdue the surrounding horse thieves.

In fact, there are not many decent forces in the Western Regions. They are all a group of rabble who bully the weak and fear the strong, but they have the advantage of numbers. If they can gather all these horse thieves, even those big countries will have a headache.

With their strength, it may be difficult to take the heads of enemy generals among thousands of troops, but among more than a hundred horse thieves, it is as easy as taking something out of a bag to silently eliminate several horse thief leaders.

Thousands of horse thieves near Wu Tanzi State have already fallen into Tang Ning's hands in secret. Old Zheng and the elders are expanding to further places, with the goal of integrating the horse thieves within a radius of hundreds of miles. This will be a huge force that no one can ignore.

Due to historical reasons, the small countries in the Western Regions are all gathered in this area of ​​hundreds of miles. After the establishment of the Western Regions Alliance, it has invisibly promoted the alliance of the other small countries. For example, after the alliance between the Puleihou Kingdom and the Beiluhou Kingdom, the military strength immediately reached more than 700. The alliance of Beilu, Quli, and Ronglu can gather 1,200 victorious soldiers. The four countries of Qiemo, Ruoqiang, etc. have also temporarily formed an alliance, and the military strength has reached more than 2,000.

In terms of the number of people, none of these three alliances is inferior to the current Western Regions Alliance, but in terms of combat power, they are still far behind Wu Tanzi, who can repel 2,000 horse thieves without spending a single soldier.

Even so, it is enough to deal with ordinary horse thieves.

However, after these small countries formed an alliance, they had not had time to let go of their hearts, and they received a desperate news one after another.

It seems that in order to fight against the alliance of these small countries, the horse thieves in the Western Regions also gathered together. In a very short time, they gathered 5,000 people, and the number is still increasing.

Except for the Western Regions allies, the other small countries in this area can only gather 4,000 troops even if they join forces.

The horse thieves in the Western Regions are fierce and murderous. With the same number of horse thieves and troops, those horse thieves can achieve an overwhelming victory.

In other words, even if their three alliances are combined into one, they are not the opponents of these horse thieves.

However, just when the ministers and kings of these countries were anxious, new hope appeared before them.

Qiemo State, the King of Qiemo looked at a person below, with a respectful look on his face, and asked: "I don't know what the envoy has come to my small country of Qiemo for?"

Although this is Qiemo State and he is the King of Qiemo, he is still very careful when talking to this young man in his own palace.

It was because this person was an envoy from Dayue, and Dayue, unlike Qiemo, which had only a thousand people, was a superpower with a population of hundreds of thousands and a military force of more than 100,000. One hundred Qiemo could not compare to one Dayue.

The young man looked at the King of Qiemo with a haughty look on his face, and said, "I am here to recruit you small countries under the order of the King. If you are willing to submit to Dayue, how dare a mere horse thief offend Dayue's power?"

When the young man spoke, his tone was full of a kind of contempt.

And he also had the capital to be proud. Dayue was one of the three superpowers in the Western Regions, with more than 100,000 troops alone. Which blind horse thief dared to provoke Dayue's subordinates? The endless yellow sand of the Western Regions would be his burial place.

The King of Qiemo naturally knew this. As long as they declared their submission, those horse thieves would naturally not be a concern. But his face became gloomy.

Because he knew that after submitting to Dayue, Qiemo would no longer be Qiemo. Qiemo was not a big country like Gumo and Yutian. After submitting to Dayue, it could still retain its name in name. For a small country like theirs with a population of a thousand, once it submits to Dayue, the name of Qiemo will completely become history.

In the days to come, their troops will be withdrawn, and the people will be dispersed. Perhaps in just a few years, no one will remember the name of Qiemo, and he will be the king of Qiemo's lost country.

The Dayue envoys ostensibly helped Qiemo to overcome difficulties, but in fact, what they were going to do to Qiemo was not much better than those horse thieves.

The King of Qiemo showed a stiff smile on his face and said, "This matter is too important. The King of this country needs to discuss it with the ministers..."

The young man saw that he did not agree immediately, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Don't think that the Western Regions are still the Western Regions of the past. If you, these insignificant countries, don't find a strong backer for yourself, you will be destroyed by horse thieves and annexed by big countries sooner or later..."

The King of Qiemo didn't want to argue with him anymore. He apologized and hurriedly walked out of the hall and summoned all the important ministers in the country to another hall.

"King of the country, this is absolutely not allowed!"

"If we surrender to Dayue, wouldn't we be the kings of the lost country and the ministers of the traitors? How can we face our ancestors in the future?"

"But if we don't surrender, we will be destroyed by horse thieves sooner or later. If we surrender to Dayue, at least we can save our lives and may have a chance to make a comeback in the future..."

...

After listening to the words of the King of the country, the ministers of Qiemo talked a lot, each holding their own opinions, and quarreling.

"Enough!" The King of Qiemo waved his hand, interrupting them and said, "Dayue has evil ambitions. They want Qiemo to surrender, just to borrow the power of our small country to fight Xiaowan. Rather than being used as a pawn by Dayue, it is better to fight the horse thieves to the death!"

After he finished speaking, a minister seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face, saying, "King, we have another choice!"

The King of Qiemo looked at him suddenly and said quickly, "What choice?"

The minister took a deep breath and said, "Western Region Allies!"

The King of Qiemo was shocked and immediately remembered the letter he had discarded in the corner. It was the letter from Wu Tanzi inviting them to join the Western Region Allies, which he rejected at the first opportunity.

At that time, they still had a choice. Now, they have been forced into a dead end by the horse thieves and Dayue.

If they fight the horse thieves head-on, even if they can win, Qiemo will be seriously injured and may soon perish. If they surrender to Dayue, the name of Qiemo will disappear immediately, and they will be regarded as scapegoats by others and die on the battlefield.

Compared with these two choices, joining the Western Region Allies can not only save Qiemo, but also have a powerful backer, or in other words, they can become their own backer!

The letter clearly stated that the Western Region allies would not interfere in each other's internal affairs. Even if Qiemo joined the allies, it would still be Qiemo, and he would still be the ruler of Qiemo. The only difference from now was that when the allies encountered a crisis, they had to fight together with other members to resist foreign enemies...

He used to think that this was a constraint on Qiemo, but now, this choice seemed to him like a gift from heaven.

The ruler of Qiemo had a gleam in his eyes and said, "Notify the rulers of Qiemi and Ruoqiang, and tell them that our ruler has important matters to discuss with them..."

At the same time, the rulers of Pulei, Bilu and other countries had gathered together, their faces extremely gloomy.

"Dayue is going to use us as scapegoats..."

"There are horse thieves coveting in front, and Dayue's wolfish ambitions behind. Is it that God wants us to die?"

...

After a few sighs, the ruler of Bilu suddenly raised his head and said, "I have a plan..."

The few people looked at each other and spoke almost at the same time.

"Western Region Allies!"

...

Tang Ning did not expect that he did not wait for people from Qiemo and Bielu, but waited for the envoy of Dayue.

The attitude of this Dayue envoy was very arrogant. He stated his purpose directly, which was to persuade Wu Tanzi to submit to Dayue. Otherwise, the next time it would be Dayue's army, not him.

Not only Wu Tanzi, but also Huhu and Cheshi countries had envoys from Dayue to visit, expressing the same meaning.

It seems that Dayue, a superpower, finally set its sights on these small countries after the war with Xiaowan.

Needless to say, Bielu and Pulei should have encountered the same situation.

As a result, Tang Ning looked at the face of the Dayue envoy with some unkindness. It was his short-term plan to integrate these small countries together and establish the Western Region Allies. Dayue actually set its sights on them. Isn't it trying to steal his business?
