Chapter 1166 The Diplomatic Card of the Azure Badge
The Peacock King is certainly not stupid.
It's just that the Maurya Dynasty has already dispatched troops. If they evacuate in despair before they reach Nay Pyi Taw, the Maurya King will not be able to hold back at all.
Bangalore City, Royal Palace.
"What should we do?" The Peacock King asked Cheng Hu, his minister.
Cheng Hu is a historical talent, a minister of King Ashoka, the third king of the Maurya Dynasty in history. In the game, he is an old man over fifty years old, who is the most trusted minister of the Maurya King.
"Does Your Majesty want to withdraw the troops with dignity, or do you want to keep the Pyu Kingdom?" Cheng Hu replied.
The Peacock King was startled, and said: "It would be great if we can keep the Pyu Kingdom."
"That being the case, I have a plan."
"Speak!" The Peacock King's eyes lit up.
Cheng Hu said: "Didn't the Gupta Dynasty always want to support the Pyu country, but they just suffered from the lack of marching channels? Then we will give them an excuse to intervene in the Pyu country's battlefield."
"That's it." The Peacock King frowned, and said worriedly: "Would it be too risky to make excuses, if they don't support the Pyu country at all, but take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble halfway, that's enough for us to drink a pot .”
The two dynasties are sworn enemies, and such a thing is not impossible.
"No." Cheng Hu was full of confidence.
"How did you see that?"
"If it was before the Great Xia launched the national war, then there is a real possibility. Right now, Tianzhu is fighting the national war with Daxia. If the Gupta Dynasty dares to do bad things, it is risking the world's displeasure, and it is completely suicidal."
The Peacock King was stunned, and a smile finally appeared on his face, "So, Daxia did us a big favor by raiding us in the north?"
"Exactly." Cheng Hu nodded with a smile.
"Okay, that's it."
The Peacock King is so courageous that he is willing to take a gamble.
The Gupta Dynasty and the Pyu Kingdom belonged to the azure badge camp. If the Maurya Dynasty agreed to make an excuse, the Gupta Dynasty would have no reason to refuse to go out.
With the reinforcements of the Gupta Dynasty, the battle of Pyu could be fought again. At worst, it can also drag the Gupta Dynasty into the water, so that the Peacock King will not be alone.
Cheng Hu's calculation is really brilliant.
Of course, in addition to paying attention to the Pyu battlefield, the Peacock King cared about the battle in the Northland. Because the Northland is bordered by the Tubo Dynasty in the Huaxia region, the Maurya Dynasty did not deploy heavy troops in this area.
The sudden invasion of the Great Xia Flying Bear Army caught the Maurya Dynasty by surprise.
Li Jing, the commander of the Flying Bear Army, is also an existence like a military god. As soon as he invaded the northern land of the Maurya Dynasty, he set off billowing smoke and dragged the entire northern land into the flames of war.
For this reason, the Peacock Dynasty had to urgently deploy two group armies to the north to counter the Great Xia Flying Bear Army.
At the same time, we must guard against the Gupta Dynasty. The Mauryan Dynasty no longer dares to increase its troops to the Pyu Kingdom, so we can only hope that the Gupta Dynasty can help the Pyu Kingdom.
The fact is that the Gupta Dynasty was even more "shameless" than the Peacock King imagined.
…………
April 9th, Gupta Dynasty, Mumbai City.
After receiving the letter of credence that the Maurya Dynasty was willing to borrow, the Gupta Dynasty fell into hesitation instead.
If it was at the beginning of the national war, the Maurya Dynasty was willing to make excuses, and the Gupta Dynasty would definitely send troops to reinforce the Pyu Kingdom, but the current situation has changed dramatically from half a month ago.
First, the destruction of the Johor Kingdom not only made it impossible for the two battlefields to form a linkage, but also freed up the Great Xia Army to increase troops on the battlefield of the Pyu Kingdom, making the battle of the Pyu Kingdom even more difficult.
The second is that more than 70% of the territory of the Pyu Kingdom has been completely occupied, lacking strategic depth.
With the situation of the battle unknown, if the Gupta army rushed in all at once, it would be best if they could hold the Pyu country, but if they couldn't hold it, the problem would be too serious.
First of all, because it is marching by road, logistical supplies are a big problem.
The Maurya Dynasty is not a philanthropist. Even if they are willing to borrow, they will not allow the Gupta Dynasty to set up a temporary supply line in their dynasty, let alone provide food and grass for the Gupta Dynasty's army.
As for the Pyu country, right now they don't have the strength to support the friendly army with food and grass, so they are powerless.
Under such circumstances, how dare the Gupta Dynasty dare to send troops rashly.
Taking a ten thousand step back, the logistics problem was solved, and the two dynasties also successfully saved Pyu from Da Xia, so what happened after the war?
If the Maurya Dynasty was unwilling to let the Gupta Dynasty's army return to the country, or did something bad on the way back to the country, the Gupta Dynasty would also be unable to afford to go around.
The two dynasties were originally mortal enemies and belonged to different camps, so there was no basis for trust at all.
It's a very normal thing for anyone to shade anyone.
The problem is that the Maurya Dynasty has already used the excuse to spread the uproar in the biography of Tianzhu, and even held a special press conference, saying that they are willing to join hands with the Gupta Dynasty to advance and retreat together, and to help Pyu on the battlefield.
This time, the Gupta Dynasty was immediately pushed to the edge of a cliff.
If the Gupta Dynasty did not send troops, the prestige in Tianzhu District would plummet.
"Dilawa, you bastard!" Akbar, the lord of the Gupta Dynasty, was so annoyed that he almost scolded his mother. After a pause, he said sinisterly, "Fortunately, I also have a countermeasure, otherwise I will really be fooled."
On the same day, Akbar replied to Peacock King Dilawa's letter of credence, saying that the special envoy of the blue badge had gone to the Daxia Dynasty to mediate the war in Pyu.
To show sincerity, the Gupta Dynasty should not use troops until the special envoy returns.
This is a trick to delay the attack.
The Peacock King was rewarded, but he had no choice but to fight on two fronts and wait for the result.
…………
April 11th, Shanhai City.
Akbar didn't really shirk it. On this day, the special envoy of the azure badge arrived in Shanhai City, and the reason why he arrived so quickly was naturally that the special envoy was a Chinese player.
Upon receiving the report, a playful smile flashed across Ouyang Shuo's mouth, and he said to the Honglu Temple official who came to report, "Let this special envoy take a good rest at the post house, see you tomorrow!"
"promise!"
Of course Ouyang Shuo was well aware of the strategy of delaying the attack.
Daxia and the academic school, which is the current Zhanlan Badge, are indeed somewhat involved, but Daxia doesn't owe the Zhanlan Badge anything, and Ouyang Shuo wants to see what this special envoy wants to do.
On the morning of the next day, Ouyang Shuo met the special envoy leisurely in Wenhua Hall.
The Wenhua Palace is just a side hall of the Summer Palace. Ouyang Shuo chose to meet the special envoy of Zhanlan Badge here, obviously with the intention of humiliating Zhanlan Badge.
Sure enough, the envoy's face turned black.
At this time, in the battlefield of Pyu Kingdom, the Great Xia army had already reached the foot of Nai Pyi Taw, the royal city. The battle was very tense, and the special envoy rushed over anxiously, but yesterday he waited all day in vain, already very upset.
According to the special envoy's thinking, he came on behalf of the blue badge, and he was an irresistible existence in Daxia. Daxia should greet him respectfully and meet him immediately.
In the eyes of the Azure Badge members, they are not the center of the world. This kind of arrogance has penetrated into the bones of some members, no different from the Silver Hand.
Especially after the former Federation President Chen Lao lost his power, the arrogance within the azure badge became more and more obvious, as if he was the second silver hand.
What ideals and beliefs have long been left behind.
Driven by this kind of concept, how can the special envoy's face look good? If he hadn't asked for Da Xia this time, he might have turned his face long ago.
Even so, I still couldn't help asking: "I am the special envoy of the Zhanlan badge. Is Daxia a land of barbarians, have you forgotten even the most basic etiquette? Why didn't you meet in the main hall?"
Ouyang Shuo's face was expressionless, there was no need for him to speak, Zhang Yi, Minister of the Honghe Temple, naturally answered, "Great Xia is naturally a state of etiquette, and the main hall is used to receive envoys from the same forces. I just don't know, the azure badge is the dynasty? It’s still a territory, and has it formally established diplomatic relations with Daxia?”
"..." The envoy was speechless.
The Zhanlan Badge was established not long ago, so how could it establish diplomatic relations with Daxia.
But Zhang Yi didn't intend to let it go, "Since diplomatic relations have not been formally established, it is already extraordinarily kind for my king to meet your envoy here. Please don't push yourself too far."
The special envoy's face turned red, and he realized now that the so-called azure badge halo has no deterrent effect in front of a dynasty like the Great Xia.
Diplomacy, after all, is backed by strength.
It's not that the special envoy doesn't know the truth that "a weak country has no diplomacy", but he never thought that the azure badge would be the "weak" side.
As a super alliance that can compete with the Silver Hand, where does it go, isn't it daunting? !
But Daxia doesn't like this.
Before he could say anything serious, the special envoy's arrogance was suppressed to the minimum. This person can be selected as a special envoy, he still has some skills, at least he has a thick skin.
Seeing that there is no benefit to be gained from this matter, he immediately changed the subject, and after a little politeness, he went straight to the point, "We have been kind to your dynasty, and Mr. Chen has also given advice to King Xia. King Xia won't deny this, right? "
Ouyang Shuo nodded, "I do owe Mr. Chen a favor."
Back then in Sky City, Ouyang Shuo had to be taught by Mr. Chen, so naturally he would not deny it.
After hearing this, the special envoy showed a relieved expression on his face, thinking in his heart, "Just remember."
"Since that's the case, now we want to ask King Xia for a little favor, and I hope we don't refuse." The special envoy said.
The corner of Ouyang Shuo's mouth smiled, knowing that a good show was about to start, "Please tell me!"
"We hope that Da Xia will withdraw his troops from the Pyu country, in order to honor the friendship between us." The other party really opened his mouth like a lion, and wanted Da Xia to withdraw his troops as soon as he came up.
With such thick skin, Ouyang Shuo has learned a lot.
However, it was inconvenient for Ouyang Shuo to refuse bluntly, after all, he just admitted that he owed the other party a favor, so how could he turn his face immediately.
I still have to give this face.
