"Haha, well, first of all, I want to thank the king for his concern for our country. Secondly, the foreign minister wants to see with his own eyes what Qi State has done. In principle, we oppose all invasions. It is our duty to help the victimized Cao State. Our country will definitely do our best.
Help.
However, the use of troops and horses is very important. It consumes a lot of money and food, and there are unpredictable casualties. This, um, black crystal iron is indeed a rare thing. People in the world only know its name but not its substance. Foreign ministers really want to see it.
Our deputy minister of industry is a famous ink maker. Even he can't figure out how to extract black crystal iron from the ore and make it into weapons and equipment. The Qi State should have obtained the secret method from the Tongbei Empire. The foreign minister wants to know about it.
.”
Ding Kui spoke more implicitly, but also revealed Shaodianguo's interest in black crystal iron, implying that Cao Qi would give up black crystal iron and the secret refining recipe in exchange for Shaodianguo's help.
"Alas, it's a pity that the Black Crystal Iron Mine was occupied by the Qi State, otherwise Gu could arrange for you to visit the mine. To be honest, the trophies captured on the front line are in the hands of the coalition forces, and I only sent one set to show to Gu.
In fact, Gu's request is very simple. Take back the part of the black crystal iron mine located in our country. As for the rest, you can dispose of it as you like. As for the refining method of black crystal iron, our country does not know." Cao Qi did not say that he would take the captured weapons and equipment.
Show it to Ding Kui.
This is not stingy, but a method of the king. If Ding Kui wants to see it, he has to ask for it. If he orders someone to take it out, it is a reward, and it can also be an exchange.
Before coming to Cao State, Ding Kui had simulated the meeting scene and deduced Cao Qi's possible reaction. He was not surprised, so he said: "In fact, if the foreign minister has a chance to see the mining area, maybe the coalition forces will soon occupy Diyan Lake."
area."
"Hahaha, Gu is the one who hopes to see this happen the most. The coach of the coalition forces is someone you know, He Lianyu, the female general of Meng, you might as well go and meet her."
This was originally part of Ding Kui's itinerary when he came to Cao State, and Cao Qi brought it up naturally.
The meeting between the two lasted for more than half an hour, which was the first time Cao Qi met with a foreign minister. The previous meeting with He Lianyu was not that long. Both parties gained something, and the initial goal was achieved. It was a successful meeting.
.
In the end, Cao Qi responded to Ding Kui's request and deliberately concealed his name as an envoy from the Shaodian Kingdom, and arranged for Ding Kui to become an army adviser and go to the Diyan Lake theater to counsel military aircraft.
Shaodian State and Qi State did not fall out. Ding Kui did not want to go to the war zone in the name of his own country. Since the officers of the Tongbei Empire could serve as advisors to Qi Army, he could serve as advisor to Cao Army or even the coalition forces.
No one will question his qualifications. Although he has not defeated Cao Jun head-on, his defeat of He Lian Yu is enough to stand out among the heroes.
"Do you really want to go to the Diyan Lake War Zone?" Ding Ji was the first to jump up, looking very excited. His life has changed dramatically after leaving the army. For a person who has made the army his home all year round, he is a little uncomfortable with today's comfort.
life.
He had doubts about what Liang said, but now that it was finally confirmed, he couldn't hold back his emotions.
"I will serve as an advisor to the army, and you are my personal soldiers." Ding Kui could understand Ding Ji's reaction.
Others thought it didn't matter and could follow Ding Kui wherever they went. Due to their strong self-confidence, their combination could ignore dangerous places like battlefields, and walking there was like traveling.
Only Zi Yan didn't quite understand and asked: "Sir, how can you become Cao Jun's adviser? Qi State has trade relations with us, and defeating Qi Jun may not be beneficial to us."
"Haha, I just went to have a look. I'm just a consultant. How can I defeat the Qi army with so much energy? The Qi state can't be too weak, nor can it be too strong. This is not good for our country. Their military strength must be appropriately restricted.
"Ding Kui expressed his attitude.
"Your Excellency is far-sighted and has a sharp vision. I have learned from my humble position." Zi Yan's first task is to implement Ding Kui's diplomatic route, and it is necessary to understand Ding Kui's thoughts.
Balancing the relationship between Cao and Qi requires a fulcrum, and Ding Kui's answer undoubtedly gives a clear direction.
After the official waist badges and military uniforms were sent from the Cao State Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, the six of them set off for Diyan Lake.
When they arrived at Renchang City in Guangyin Prefecture, military personnel immediately received them, delivered their war horses and military information on the front line, and provided Ruan Xingzhu with a messenger jade talisman for the exclusive use of the magicians accompanying the army.
Since they are not foreign envoys, there are no more gorgeous carriages to use. Fortunately, they don't care what kind of transportation they use, and they can get horses even if they are not provided by the military.
Maybe Ruan Xingzhu was the only one who wasn't used to it. He used the flying technique for half of the time on the road and only returned to the horse after passing the town, maintaining the habit of not flying in front of ordinary people.
Traveling on horseback was much faster, and they arrived at the coalition camp in less than five days.
There was an episode when we entered the camp. For some unknown reason, the commander-in-chief He Lianyu gave a warning to the new army advisors and asked Ding Kui and his party to walk to the Chinese army's tent and pass through three infantry squares.
.
Of course, this kind of scene could not scare the six men with an average combat power of level six. The power unleashed by Ding Kui and Ao Yu actually suppressed all the onlookers.
When they arrived at the door of the Chinese military tent, He Lianyu's lazy voice came from inside: "The visitor announced his entrance, and the entourage went to rest." With one sentence, the other five people were blocked from the door.
"What do you mean?" Ao Yu and Ding Ji were both angry.
"Haha, it's okay. You guys go and have a rest first. I'm the commander, so he sets the stage as soon as he enters the camp. It's a common thing in the army." Ding Kui remained calm and relaxed, not angry at all.
There are many rules in the military camp, but only a few people can ignore these rules. They are very conscientious and can persuade a few people to leave.
Ding Kui straightened his back and stood in front of the door, shouting in a loud voice: "Ding Kui, the advisor to the army, please see the coach, Lord Helian!"
"Oh, Consultant Ding, please come in." He Lianyu seemed not to read the official document.
Ding Kui strode into the central military tent and saw several generals inside, sitting under Helian Yu and looking at him.
"In this humble position, I would like to see you, my lord, the commander-in-chief, and all generals." He gave military salutes to several people one by one.
The military advisor does not have a specific military rank, and his status needs to be defined by the commander. The commander can regard him as a deputy or as a general staff officer.
Everything depends on He Lianyu's face.
"He is the 'Flying General' Ding Kui of the Shaodian Kingdom. It is said that this name came from me. The Shaodian people said that he defeated me." He Lianyu introduced Ding Kui to several generals without expression.
"Yes." Several generals nodded and said nothing. They had known that Ding Kui was coming and knew his identity. Their expressions showed that they were not generals of Meng.
"Okay, you just do what I said. I want to reminisce about old times with the man who defeated me." He Lianyu wanted to clear the place.
