Water Margin people

Liangshan.

Sun Lei frowned as he looked at the telegram in front of him.

"These people are really playing tricks. The Republic of Venice surrendered as a whole? Sam from the Arab side surrendered with a thousand infected villagers?"

Sun Lei said.

The war entered another stage. After realizing that they could not win, the enemy began to use all kinds of despicable tricks.

"Fortunately, we asked Military Advisor Xiao to go there before, otherwise it would be really troublesome!"

Sun Lei once again lamented his own cleverness. It was not safe to leave only a group of warriors on the front line. Warriors lacked strategies and it was difficult for them to deal with complex situations.

"Your Majesty, the surrender of the Republic of Venice may be a bit troublesome. If a country surrenders to us, especially in the center of the West, those countries will probably react very quickly, and our reinforcements may not arrive by then!"

A cabinet member spoke up.

"The distance is too far. We can only wait for news from the navy!"

Sun Lei thought for a while and said that it was impossible for him to let the army directly charge over and land to start a war.

This is too risky, and the West is the world of those people. Sending people over like this is a tactic of adding fuel to the fire, which is a taboo in military strategy. It is very likely to be exploited by the enemy, and the enemy will be constantly consuming their resources by besieging and attacking the reinforcements, and by that time they will probably be dragged down.

"Your Majesty, why not let the other alien races take action?"

Li Assistant spoke.

"Alien?"

Sun Lei frowned and looked at Li Zhu.

"Your Majesty, the former Seljuk people have surrendered to us. Many of them want to establish their own careers and become true Qi people. Now is the best opportunity!"

Li Zhu said that they had conquered many countries during their Western Expedition, but those people had not achieved anything after surrendering, so now they should be given such a good opportunity.

"Your Majesty, I think this plan is not feasible!"

Gongsun Sheng said.

"Tell me!"

Sun Lei looked at Gongsun Sheng again, wanting to see what Gongsun Sheng thought.

"Your Majesty, those small countries have just been pacified. Although they have surrendered, the people are unstable. Their beliefs are completely different from those of the West. If we rashly let them go to the West during the Black Death, unrest is likely to break out."

Gongsun Sheng opened his mouth and said that what he was most worried about was the foreign races causing unrest again. Now Qi's battle line was very long, there were fortresses that needed to be guarded and territories that needed to be governed in various places, and now stability in various places was the most important thing.

"I don't care about their lives, but they are too scattered. It would be too costly to get them to the West. The cost of food and clothing for the horses is astronomical. And there is Byzantium. The Black Death is raging there. If they get there, I'm afraid they will be wiped out! There is no support at all."

Sun Lei shook his head and said, it is not impossible to send foreigners to act as the vanguard, but the land route is too long, and crossing mountains and rivers requires a lot of supplies. It will also pass through the area controlled by Saladin, which is not worth the cost.

"I have not considered it carefully!"

Li Assistant spoke.

"These are just questions I'm considering, there are some questions about feasibility."

Sun Lei did not blame Li Zhu. This method was indeed a good one, and it was feasible if one went all out, but it was not the time yet.

"Tell Li Ying and Hu Cheng to be careful at sea and beware of foreigners bringing the Black Death here!"

Sun Lei said that since Saladin could make his generals surrender with the infected villagers, he would most likely use the same tactics against Qi.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wen Huanzhang accepted the order.

"In addition, there is this. The treatment of the Black Death has achieved some results, but the side effects of the drugs have also appeared. We need to continue to improve them. You must ensure the financial and material security."

Sun Lei pointed to another telegram and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Jing saluted and said that this was what he needed to do. In order to speed up the drug research, logistical support was the top priority.

After discussing the matter, they went to the court meeting.

Sun Lei came to the military camp outside the city.

"Are you guys impatient? You don't even want to go to the morning court?" Sun Lei smiled as he looked at Lu Zhishen and Wu Song who were fully armed.

"Brother, the army is about to set off, and we are going to set off too. This is not a leave."

Wu Song smiled and said that after returning to Liangshan, he had been preparing to go to Liaodong.

Liaodong is different from the Central Plains. It is a world of ice and snow in winter. They need to carry a lot of warm clothes, and this time they will go all the way north to the northern mountains.

"Brother, we two won't be able to say anything if we go to the court meeting, so why don't we prepare here? Take a look at what I'm wearing, is it enough?"

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei and asked with a smile, this is what he wore when he fought against the Jin Kingdom.

"That's about right. You're not afraid of the cold anyway."

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen, who was dressed like a big bear, and smiled.

"Hehe, that's fine!"

Lu Zhishen said with a smile.

"By the way, you guys have to go with Tieniu in Liaodong this time."

Sun Lei looked at the two of them and said.

"What was Tieniu doing there?"

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song asked in surprise, this guy Li Kui is absolutely incapable of doing anything good, and is always causing trouble, bringing him along would only cause more trouble.

"He said his biological brother was working in Liaodong, and he didn't know how his brother was doing after being away for a year. He missed him so much that he couldn't eat or sleep at night..."

Sun Lei kept repeating Li Kui's words, and Li Kui even rolled on the ground and threw a tantrum at the end.

"When did Tie Niu and Li Da develop such a deep brotherly relationship?"

Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and couldn't understand. Li Kui was a rough guy who acted rashly and impetuous. He and Li Da couldn't get along at all. Although they had brotherly love, it was very indifferent.

"You're just afraid of your wife. I heard that he was kicked out because he snored like thunder at night!"

The Holy See said with a smile.

"Haha, Tie Niu is also scared! But when Qiu Xia sees that she is pregnant, isn't it a bad idea for Tie Niu to leave now?"

Wu Song said.

"Of course it's not good, but let him leave for a few months. It's not a good thing to quarrel every day. Aunt Li came to me and asked me to kick Tie Niu out for a walk for two months!"

"So this time you go and bring Tie Niu back. Li Da is in Liaoyang Prefecture. Let him take a look and come back!"

Sun Lei said.

"Brother, I'm afraid that Tie Niu will play tricks on me and refuse to come back."

Wu Song said that he knew how difficult Li Kui was and it was not difficult to punish Li Kui, but he could not drag Li Kui back.

"I plan to let Jiao Ting go with me. If he doesn't come back, I'll just fall. He'll come back naturally after breaking a few bones!"

Sun Lei said while looking at Jiao Ting beside him.

"Leader!"

Jiao Ting smiled and saluted.

After some tidying up, Li Kui happily came to the military camp to report.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's go!"

Lu Zhishen was already impatient, and when he saw Li Kui coming, he immediately led his army to board the ship.

"Brother, I'm leaving first!"

Li Kui bowed to Sun Lei excitedly.

"When did you learn this trick, you iron bull? Just be honest!"

Sun Lei waved his hand. (End of this chapter)
