Section 23 Allies

"Yes, Marquis, the Luobei people are now increasingly close with the northwest, especially after the defeat of the Yu Chidi people, this trend will rise further. Moreover, the entire Luobei people's expedition of thousands of miles in the east is essentially under half control of the northwest. I believe that after the next negotiation with the Chidi people, Luobei people and Li Wufeng will be closer." Viscount Moncadilles did not understand the far-reaching ideas of his superiors at this time, and he kept showing off all the inside story he learned. "The Luobei people's strength was quite weakened after this battle. I dare not say that their vitality was severely damaged, but thinking about the collapse of the eastern expedition and the defeat of the guards' headquarters is the most painful loss for the Luobei people in the past century. Therefore, they will definitely rely more on the Tanghe people. Only in this way can they fight against the Chidi people after the victory."

"Well, according to your opinion of the Tanghe people, especially the Li Wufeng's understanding, will this guy officially include the entire Luo Beiren in his hands if he has the chance?" Marquis Saltz carefully conceived his words. He didn't want the other party to understand his thoughts too early.

"Control Luo Beiren?" Unexpectedly, his boss would suddenly ask such a question. Viscount Moncati was a little confused, but he still thought hard before he hesitating: "At present, there is no tendency to do this. After all, this time, this good opportunity, Li Wufeng gave up controlling the Luo Beiren's encroachment on a large area of ​​land in the east. Even the territorial requests made by the Mots only met the other party's request to take back the original territory. In my opinion, Li Wufeng seemed to be more inclined to control the indirect control through other means, such as economic means and finding spokespersons within him."

"Well, I understand. Viscount Moncadilles, we have ignored the importance of Luo Bei to us in the past and focused more on the Chidi people. If we could think of this earlier, I would like to say that we could avoid many unnecessary losses over the years. This is our negligence. Now the importance of Luo Bei to our allied countries has become increasingly obvious. I think we should seize the opportunity when Luo Bei is in urgent need of help and work hard to establish a good relationship with them. They can restore their vitality as soon as possible, so that the Chidi people's arrogance can be suppressed. This will make a good thing for our alliance. If Luo Bei people can become our alliance army, from the current situation, it is much more practical than forming an alliance with the Tanghe people." Marquis Saltz had already made a decision in his mind.

"You mean we are directly aligned with Luo Bei people? Let's get rid of Tang He people?" Montcati had already come back to his senses.

"Why not? The Tanghe people have too many requirements, such as lowering tariffs, have caused a lot of controversy in the Alliance Parliament, especially the countries in the Alliance, which can easily cause conflicts among the Alliance countries. And as you said, the Tanghe people can only indirectly influence Luobei. I doubt how much effect it can play in the future emergency situation. What's more, now Luobei people are suffering a huge blow, and our timely help will make Luobei people remember our kindness in mind, and we have no conflict of interest with them. Their strength is more beneficial to us. I believe Luobei people understand this as well. I think the common interests can make us come together." Marquis Saltz became more and more convinced of his views at this time.

"It's just that I'm afraid that Li Wufeng will anger. He has a considerable influence among Luo Beiren." From the perspective of the alliance, Montcati agreed with the Marquis' view, but he was a little worried about Li Wufeng's reaction.

"It's okay, didn't you say that Li Wufeng's attention is more focused on the Tanghe Empire? Now the Tanghe Empire is just as you said during the throne change. I believe Li Wufeng doesn't have that much energy to ask about these thousands of miles away? In addition, if they are really dissatisfied, we can also explain and make up through diplomatic channels. However, the alliance with Luo Beiren is our unshakable principle, and we cannot let the initiative be in the hands of outsiders!" Marquis Saltz's tone was firm and obviously unchangeable.

"I understand, I don't know what the Marquis wants me to do?" Montcati naturally knew that the other party would not be so simple to ask him to avoid the secret talks between guests, so he asked bluntly.

It is easy to deal with smart people. Marquis Saltz looked at the subordinate in front of him with satisfaction. Although he was a little fond of showing off, the other party was still good at the diplomatic front, at least it was rare to compare with the sensitivity of smell.

"I want you to be renamed the plenipotentiary of the Alliance to Barona City, the Romans, and be responsible for establishing and coordinating the formal diplomatic relations between us, the Romans," said Marquis Saltz.

From a business counselor to a diplomatic minister, although they were from the Principal of Meli to the nomads on the grassland, they had already taken a big leap in their identity. Moreover, from the words of the Marquis, it can be seen that Luo Beiren will occupy a very important position on the diplomatic stage after the alliance, which is a rare opportunity.

"Thank you for your attention to the Marquis, Montcatti has to repay you. I just don't know if the Marquis has any other ideas about my mission to Barona?" After years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Montcatti had already known that the other party must have a special intention to arrange himself to Barona City.

"Well, I have an idea, that since Li Wufeng can support the forces of the Tanghe people among the Luobei people and find spokespersons, we can follow the example of the Hansen Alliance, and we have more urgent needs than the Tanghe people. I hope that you can quickly open up the situation after you go, first, to build those who have real power among the Luobei people, and second, to find some people who are willing to be kind to us, actively cultivate them, and lay a solid foundation for long-term goals. As for funding, I will consider that you don't have to worry. In addition, if the forces of the Tanghe side can win over, you will win over.

If you cannot win over, you will slowly exclude them. Be sure to gradually connect Luo Beiren to us." Seeing that the other party had accepted his arrangements and appointments, Marquis Saltz also expressed his thoughts, "I was a little worried about Li Wufeng's appetite. I heard that he intervened repeatedly in India and De'an. This is not a good phenomenon, so we have to prepare for the future. Of course, I also hope that this is just my own trouble. By the way, please don't talk much about these things to your two relatives. I didn't need to remind you of this, but I have to talk too much."

Nodding silently, Viscount Moncati was a little worried about his niece, but then he thought, with Li Wufeng's current trends, there would be no substantial conflict with the alliance for the time being, and there was only one step to take and one step to see everything.

The talk between Chidi and Luo Beiren finally came to an end. This was the news that Su Jie sent back from Sara City. Seeing this information with a faint fragrance, Wufeng was a little dazed for a moment. In fact, this information could not be obtained through the channels like Su Jie. The time gap would not exceed an hour, but Wufeng still liked this single-line connection that seemed a bit petty. This was a kind of enjoyment, enjoyment to taste alone.

It took Wufeng a long time to wake up from this somewhat confused enjoyment. The news was very detailed. Luo Beiren paid compensation for the eight million imperial gold coins, including the ransom of the prisoners. This was an astronomical figure for Luo Beiren. I don’t know what method Luo Beiren will pay. Wufeng could even imagine that Doni would come to him again to beg the Northwest Bank to give a loan, but what is the loan used as collateral? This large area of ​​land centered on Boyue Lake? Wufeng didn’t want to accept this condition. Luo Bei’s herders would still live on this land, which is not much different from now; using transit tariffs assurance? It seems that such a large amount of funds will take many years to pay off the principal and interest, which is really a bit troublesome.

The Ano people obtained a beautiful land with abundant water and plants in the north of Luobei people. Although it was not big, it was enough to make the Ano people laugh from ear to ear. It seemed that the Chidi people still really wanted to pull the Ano people on their own chariots, so they would be willing to fight for the Ano people so willingly. I am afraid that the Ano people will follow the Chidi people even more devotedly after they taste the sweetness in the future.

Negotiations between these nomadic peoples are always so simple and boring. Except for money and land, everything else can be ignored. Although moral reasons can be ignored, no one even cares about the later arrangements and the problem of preventing the re-emergence of war. Perhaps these nomadic people on the grassland have become accustomed to the validity period of this treaty for only one year. At this time next year, as long as one party thinks that it has the strength to challenge the other party, the war can be started again. In fact, it is that simple, but it is not something that anyone can avoid or stop.

After receiving the news of the successful peace talks, the Tengger Legion and the Northern Luzon Legion returned east as soon as possible, and the cavalry of the Mot and Tubu people had already embarked on the return journey. The Ano people could finally breathe a sigh of relief to enjoy some trophy. The increasing population made them feel that their territory was narrow, and the vast and cold areas in the north made them unable to survive comfortably there. Choosing war may be the path they had to take to survive.

The activities of the Luzons made Wu Feng once again aggravated his concern for Northern Luzon. He might have to let go of the idea of ​​transferring the Northern Luzon legion into the Central Plains for a while. Before eliminating the possibility of the Luzons invasion, Wu Feng did not want to easily weaken the defense of Northern Luzon. The rapid economic advancement of Northern Luzon has already made Wu Feng deeply feel the huge wealth contained in this land. In any case, there can be no mistake like the previous one.
