As for Tubo and Dashi, the two leading empires, although they may want to cooperate, the alliance must have a leader.
So, who is the leader and who is the subordinate?
Tubo definitely doesn't want to become a vassal. The Great Food Kingdom also wants to swallow up other countries, and wants to use this opportunity to frighten other countries. Shen Lian will have less resistance by then.
So, they all want to be leaders.
And how to become?
Now, there is a good way to prove it.
Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard!
Although they understood that this was Shen Lian's conspiracy, everyone also agreed that Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard was for the strongest empire to live.
Therefore, if anyone can stay in Courtyard No. 1, he will be recognized as the strongest. When the time comes, the strongest voice will naturally be given to him. Likewise, he will become the leader by default.
Just like that, a collision that Shen Lian didn't expect happened directly at this moment.
Tubo and the Dashi Kingdom refused to give in to each other!
The smell of gunpowder suddenly filled the air.
After Shen Lian figured this out, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Idiots, what a bunch of idiots!"
"You know it's a trap, but you still jump in it!"
"Knowing that doing this will breed disagreements and make the already unstable alliance even less restrictive, yet you still refuse to give in... I call you stupid just to compliment you!"
At this moment, Shen Lian suddenly wondered whether he thought these countries were too smart?
If they are all so stupid, wouldn't all my preparations have been in vain?
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly. If it were him, he would have a hundred ways to occupy the position in the No. 1 Courtyard without letting envoys from other countries feel that the alliance is in turmoil.
There are really too many strategies to kill two birds with one stone.
It's a pity that the Tubo prince is indeed smart, but when it comes to insidious strategies, he is still far worse. If he doesn't talk about himself, Sun Wuji alone can kill the Tubo prince.
And the envoy of the great food country?
This person didn't look like a reckless person, but at this moment he took the initiative to stir up trouble. Shen Lian felt that this person might have some plans.
But no matter how hard you calculate, you can't choose the frame you gave them. Now they are all on their own chessboard. The chess pieces are jumping, but can they jump out of the chessboard?
He chuckled, thought for a while, and said: "Two envoys, you both like Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard, but No. 1 Courtyard can only accommodate envoys from one country, so it is very difficult!"
"Do you think it's up to you to decide who will move in? Or will I help you make an idea?"
The Tibetan prince Qihela glanced at the envoy of the Dashi Kingdom coldly, and said coldly: "What are your ideas?"
It was obvious that they couldn't reach an agreement.
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Today the envoys from various countries have arrived, which is just the time to liven up the excitement. I suggest that you each send one of your men down, and then they fight, and the winner can live in the first courtyard. In this case , it can be easily solved, and it can also allow other countries to see the style of the soldiers of Tubo and Dashi Kingdom, so why not do it?"
"And later, if the same thing happens, we can use this method to decide who will move in through battle. It's fair and just. What do you two think?"
Hearing this, Qila and Anthony's eyes moved slightly.
How could they not know that Shen Lian was provoking trouble?
The losing party will only feel ashamed and will feel even more resentful towards the other party.
But now, it seems that there is only this method, which is the simplest and most direct.
Moreover, the winning side can also use this to show its strength to other countries, making it easier to command other envoys when the time comes.
Thinking of this, the two envoys finally took the initiative to jump into the pit dug for them by Shen Lian.
"Okay!" Qila said.
Anthony also nodded.
Shen Lian's smile became even brighter.
What a good man!
Why are these two so good? They dig their own holes and jump out of their own skin.
There is no need for Shen Lian to think of ways to fool others into voting.
He clapped his hands, and the guards immediately entered the arena. With lightning speed, a ring was set up very quickly.
This speed is amazing!
At this moment, the Tubo prince and the envoys from other countries understood... Shen Lian had already planned it.
This was definitely prepared in advance, otherwise how could the arena be set up so quickly?
Even if there is no confrontation between Tubo and Dashi Kingdom today, Shen Lian will definitely find an opportunity to set up an arena and let them fight!
insidious!
Some of the envoys cursed secretly in their hearts, and at the same time looked at Shen Lian, who had a smile on his face, and became even more vigilant.
Only now did some keen envoys suddenly realize that since Shen Lian arrived here, almost everyone and everything has been led by Shen Lian.
All of them unknowingly followed Shen Lian's ideas.
Even those who originally wanted to lose face to Shen Lian and cause trouble for Shen Lian were led away by Shen Lian without knowing it.
So now, they can no longer break free!
This realization made them extremely shocked!
This Shen Lian is really terrifying!
Soon, the arena was set up...
Shen Lian did not pay attention to the expressions of the envoys looking at him. He just looked at Tubo and Dashi Kingdom with a smile, and said with a smile: "You two, please choose your own people, let's not waste time." , if you compete as soon as possible, you can also go to rest as soon as possible, right?"
Anthony, the Marquis of the Kingdom of Great Food, winked at the person behind him, who jumped onto the ring with a knife in his hand.
The Tibetan prince Qihela looked at his confidant and said coldly: "Kill him! Let everyone know the consequences of disobeying my Tubo Khanate!"
"yes!"
The confidant responded and quickly jumped onto the ring.
Soon the two were facing each other with weapons in hand.
Shen Lian said at this time: "As the saying goes, friendship comes first, competition comes second, so you two should keep a certain degree of control to avoid damaging your harmony! Our rules are very simple, whoever is knocked off the ring or surrenders voluntarily will lose!"
"Otherwise, keep fighting until one side loses!"
Both of them nodded, it was a very simple rule.
Shen Lian smiled and said: "No restrictions on means, no restrictions on weapons, those two, let's get started!"
As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, the Tubo guards rushed over first, slashing at the soldiers of the Dashi Kingdom with their swords in their hands.
This Tubo guard was extremely fast and almost attacked him in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers of the Dashi Kingdom did not seem to expect that the Tibetan guards were so fast. In panic, they quickly raised their swords to deal with them.
boom!
The soldiers of the Dashi Kingdom were immediately cut down and knocked back two steps.
The Tubo guards, on the other hand, did not give the Dashi Kingdom soldiers a chance to react and bullied them again.
The two stood together again.
The envoys from various countries watched the battle between the two without blinking. Their eyes were solemn and thoughtful. It was obvious that they were collecting intelligence.
As for Shen Lian, he was lying lazily on the rocking chair, just like watching a play.
He took a sip of tea and said, "Ah Bao, who do you think can win?"
Abao almost did not hesitate: "Tubo will win, with at most twenty moves, the people of the Dashi Kingdom will die!"
"die?"
Zhao Hai, the minister of Honglu Temple, was shocked when he heard this.
"Will he die? Commander Shen, is this...will something happen? Someone died just after the envoy arrived. This..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Shen Lian lightly interrupted Zhao Hai's words.
He said: "If you don't die, how can you let them make enemies and grudges? Mr. Zhao, you really don't think that they come to Datang to love each other and become a family, do you?"
Zhao Hai was startled.
He didn't know what he was thinking of and quickly looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian said calmly: "These people are not well-intentioned. It's true that the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, but it depends on who it is. As the saying goes, when friends come, there will be fine wine, but when enemies come, there will only be butcher's knives!"
"So, Abao, keep an eye on it."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "In a moment, if the people in Dashi Country don't die, you can also find a way for me to make him die."
"Today, let's use his blood to get a good start."
Abao's eyes were sharp, and he raised his lips directly: "Big man, please rest assured, even if the underworld doesn't accept him, I will send him there."
Shen Lian smiled softly.
Looking at the Tubo Prince and the Marquis of Dashi Kingdom, his smile became even stronger.
The battle continues.
However, many people can already see that the soldiers of the Dashi Kingdom are already at a disadvantage, and the victory of the Tibetan guards will continue to be a certainty.
It's just that we're not sure yet how it will end, whether the soldiers of the Dashi Kingdom will take the initiative to admit defeat, or whether they will be kicked off the ring by the Tibetan guards.
Anthony, the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom, frowned and looked a little unhappy.
The corners of the Tubo prince's mouth raised up, with a sneer on his face.
Shen Lian was lying on the rocking chair, enjoying himself, drinking tea and watching the show, feeling very relaxed.
Abao, on the other hand, had run out of the ring at some point, his eyes fixed on the battle on the ring. His right hand was blocked by his sleeve, and he didn't know what he was holding inside.
Different people have different expressions and different thoughts.
Some people are nervous, some are watching the show, some are solemn, and some are full of bad ideas.
Shen Lian chuckled and shook the teacup gently with his fingers. At this time, he suddenly said: "It's about to end."
Zhao Hai, the minister of Honglu Temple behind him, was shocked when he heard this and quickly looked towards the ring.
boom!
At this moment, the Tubo guard used a fake move, which caused the soldiers of the Kingdom of Food to make a mistake. However, the Guards of Tibet did not give the soldiers of the Kingdom at that time another chance, and struck out with a palm, directly knocking the soldiers of the Kingdom of Food away. rise.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Great Food Country were about to be knocked out of the ring.
When Ah Bao saw this, his eyes flashed, and he was about to take action secretly and send the soldiers of the Dashi Kingdom to the west.
But before he could take action, he suddenly saw a knife flashing before his eyes, flying directly towards the Dashi Nation soldier who was about to fly out of the ring.
The steel knife reflected the light of the setting sun in the air, causing Ah Bao to close his eyes for a moment, and when Ah Bao opened his eyes again.
The pupils in his eyes shrank slightly.
I saw that the soldier from the Great Food Kingdom had fallen down from the ring, and there was a steel knife stuck in his heart.
This steel knife belongs to no one else but the Tubo guard!
Just before the soldier of the Great Food Kingdom fell out of the ring and was about to lose, the Tubo guard actually threw his weapon directly and sent the soldier of the Great Food Country to the West!
At this moment, there was silence around the arena.
The eyes of the envoys from various countries suddenly widened, and their faces were full of shock and disbelief.
Obviously, they never expected that the Tubo guards would be so vicious, and they would kill the soldiers of the Dashi Kingdom even though they had already lost!
This... immediately made the envoys from various countries feel frightened.
The Tubo people are too ruthless and cruel!
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and looked not surprised at all. The Tubo people had such a personality.
He likes to use absolute violence to show his strength.
The Tang Dynasty and Tubo had been neighbors for so many years, and they had long seen through the nature of Tubo.
So when Tubo took action, Shen Lian had already guessed the outcome.
only…….
Normally, Tubo is so vicious and cruel, and it is really nothing to deal with small countries. Small countries are frightened by Tubo's power and can only endure it.
But...this time the opponent is the Big Food Country!
It is a superpower spanning the three major countries of Asia, Europe and Africa!
It is an opponent that even the Tang Dynasty must take seriously!
Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo people were actually quite different. It was just that the Tubo people were ruthless, had high single-target combat power, and had extremely high mobility, so they caused a lot of trouble to the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, if Tubo was so vicious and cruel to a country whose strength was obviously greater than his own, Shen Lian did not think that the country would bow its head.
as expected.
Anthony, the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom, looked directly at Chihe La with an angry look and said with a cold gaze: "Prince Tubo, you are going too far, aren't you? Our soldiers have obviously lost, and you still want to kill them! Don't you think you are too cruel? Yet?"
Hearing this, Qihela just sneered and said: "I, the son of Tubo, never know who is the winner or loser. I only know who will give birth to children. I, the Tubo, disdain that kind of playing house. So, since you dare to compete with me, the Tubo If you fight for it, you will have to realize that you will die again!"
"Now the result is obvious. Your Dashi Kingdom is not strong enough and you were killed. Who can you blame?"
"you……."
Anthony clenched his hands into fists, and the veins on his face were exposed.
In his heart, he felt like he was going to be scolded by Qihe La.
What a fool!
Why did we consider cooperating with you Tubo before?
Depend on!
We are so blind!
Anthony was furious, but Qihela ignored Anthony. He turned his head very arrogantly, came to Shen Lian, and said: "We won, Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard, it should be ours, right?"
Shen Lian glanced at Anthony and saw that Anthony's face was livid and his eyes were full of hatred and anger.
He glanced at the other envoys out of the corner of his eye.
Those envoys were either afraid of, wary of, or dissatisfied with Tibet.
He smiled imperceptibly at the corner of his mouth and said: "Of course, Tubo has won Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard with its strength, so naturally it can go and stay!"
Qi Hela smiled proudly, without looking at the other envoys, and just like that, he swaggered towards Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard.
Shen Lian watched Qi Hela and others leave, then looked at Anthony, and said with a smile: "Envoy of the Great Food Kingdom, it's just a competition, it doesn't mean anything, and the No. 2 Courtyard is not bad, the decoration inside is nothing. the difference."
"As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies, so I hope that the envoys of the Dashi Kingdom can relax their minds. Tiangang No. 2 Courtyard belongs to you."
