Queen Yuezhi glanced at Bai Su with a complicated expression, and said quietly: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so polite. The concubine looks like a queen, but she is actually just a marionette."

Bai Su was a little embarrassed. After all, the reason why Yueshi Kingdom has come to where it is today is all because of him behind the scenes.

However, there is no way to do this, who made the two sides have different positions, and the Yuezhi is located in a strategic location.

How could he easily let go of such a crucial territory, a country with a population of one million and great potential?

Bai Su coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "I don't know why the queen is looking for Bai."

The scepter in Queen Yuezhi's hand was stuck on the ground, and her eyes were as gentle as the blue sky, looking at Bai Su: "I am here to meet you, mainly because I have something to ask you."

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment: "Queen, please speak."

Queen Yueshi bit her red lips lightly, and said: "Although the domestic turmoil has been temporarily suppressed, if there is not enough food shipped, there will be chaos sooner or later. I wonder if the Central Plains can bring enough food for disaster relief?"

After all, at the beginning, Bai Su cut off the trade in the name of floods in the Central Plains and food shortages.

Although she also knew that this was probably just an excuse, but after all, Yuezhi Kingdom was extremely far away from the Central Plains, and the logistics pressure was huge. It was by no means an easy task to transport enough food for millions of people for a year.

If only one or two months' worth of grain was brought in, it would be completely useless to the Yuezhi Kingdom, which had already missed the farming season and was unable to cultivate grain.

Bai Su smiled and said, "Queen, don't worry, there is enough food. Just half a year ago, I had a new kind of grain in the Central Plains that could produce [-] catties per mu. Now the autumn harvest can be said to be everywhere. Don't talk about helping a little one of you." The Yuezhi Kingdom is small, even ten Yuezhi Kingdoms are more than enough."

"The yield per mu is three... three thousand catties, there is such a fetish in the world!"

Queen Yuezhi froze for a moment, her face was full of disbelief.

You know, the grain output of their Yuezhi country is only about two hundred catties, two hundred and three thousand, the difference is not a little bit.

After a long time, she slowly came back to her senses, and asked tentatively: "I don't know if my lord is willing to sell the seeds of this thing to the Yuezhi Kingdom. No matter what conditions the young master puts forward, I will agree."

This kind of grain is really too powerful. If the Yuezhi Kingdom had this kind of seed, wouldn't there be no fear of famine, and everyone could live and work in peace and prosperity like brocade.

Such a priceless treasure, even if it is exchanged with seven or eight cities, it is not impossible.

Bai Su shook his head: "Although this thing is made by me, I can't make the decision on such a major matter about the fate of the country. Now His Majesty will definitely not agree to the flow of grain seeds, but... maybe in the future, the Yuezhi Kingdom and the Central Plains will It is possible to improve after the close relationship between the two parties.”

"This thing is actually from the hands of adults?"

Queen Yueshi keenly grasped the key points in Bai Su's words.

Bai Su rubbed his nose and said: "This thing was created by an old man whose surname is Yuan. I'm just picking up people's tooth wisdom and borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

"My lord, you are being polite. Just being able to offer such a fetish is already a boundless merit."

Queen Yueshi looked at the indifferent Bai Su, but her heart was full of turmoil.

Although she had heard a lot about Bai Su's deeds through her daughter's mouth, she didn't expect Bai Su to be more powerful than she imagined. For such a great achievement, there are few people in Xianyang who can compare with him.

Such a power minister of a powerful country is simply a gleaming thigh for a small country like the Yuezhi Kingdom.

Queen Yueshi's blue eyes sized Bai Su up, and immediately asked, "My lord, what do you think of Xiao Li?"

"His Royal Highness?"

Bai Su rubbed his chin, recalled, that innocent and lovely girl couldn't help but a smile appeared on his face: "It's a charming, clear girl."

"yes……"

A smile appeared on Queen Yueshi's face, and she said, "Then... how about the two of you getting married?"

"puff……"

Bai Su almost choked on his own saliva, and looked at the beautiful young woman in front of him strangely: "You...are you serious?"

Chapter 180 Three Kingdoms, They Will Be Extinct

"Of course it's serious..."

Queen Yuezhi's autumn-like pupils were full of doubts: "Why does your lord look so strange?"

Bai Su stroked his chin, pondered for a long time and said, "I... I already have a lover by my side, so it would be inappropriate to marry Her Highness the Princess."

After all, he has already made a marriage arrangement with Hu Yun, and they will get married soon. It would be inappropriate for him to bring back a princess during his business trip.

What's more...

He also has a friendship with Sister Zheng, Guan Bao, and besides that, Ji Liang and Liu Ji. The situation is complicated, and none of the women around him is simple-minded.

With Xiao Li's innocent character, Bai Su worried that she would not survive the next day.

After hearing Bai Su's words, Queen Yueshi couldn't help being stunned.

She came back to her senses after a long time, and a smile appeared on her face again: "Master Bai is so talented at such a young age, and has such a status that he is under one person and above ten thousand people. It is not normal for him to have three wives and four concubines. Why is your lord?" It’s so weird.”

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, seeing Queen Yueshi's fussy look, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, it's really evil feudalism.

After pondering for a long time, he said, "Forget about it."

Queen Yueshi was taken aback for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that your lord doesn't like Xiao Li?"

Bai Su shook: "That's not true."

"Then why..."

"I don't want to force a girl's feelings for political reasons, forcing her to marry someone she doesn't like at all."

Bai Su looked at the distant streets of Yuezhi Kingdom, and murmured.

Although relying on the strength of the Great Xia, as an official with diplomatic relations, it is very fun to bully others with power and bully the small with the big.

But he is generally limited to calculating the enemy's cities, land, wealth, horse resources and so on. He is quite disgusted with this kind of behavior of obviously bullying men and women.

After all, no matter how unscrupulous he is, he is still a good-natured young man from later generations, and there are still some bottom lines that should be there.

A look of surprise appeared on Queen Yuezhi's face, as if she hadn't expected that this Great Xia Da Liangzao was much more upright than she thought.

On her beautiful face, there was a slight smile: "Your Excellency is too worried. In my opinion, Xiao Li has admiration for Your Excellency."

"She admires me, how is it possible!"

Bai Su shook his head in disbelief.

After all, every time I met Princess Yueshi, I would always bully her. The angry girl gritted her teeth tightly, as if she wanted to kill her, it was too late to hate him, how could she like herself.

"Dangdang..."

Holding the golden scepter, Queen Yuezhi took two steps forward, and made a soft sound on the ground.

She stood side by side with Bai Su, and said with a smile on her face: "Although that girl hates you, but the name that is mentioned most in the palace in private will always be your name, my lord."

"Obviously, she has fallen in love with you, but she didn't realize it herself. If the adults come into contact with her in private, the relationship will definitely be tightened."

Bai Su scratched his hair, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

He turned his head and looked at Queen Yuezhi beside him: "I went up to strike up a conversation, can I really hug a beauty back?"

Queen Yuezhi nodded her head lightly, and said gracefully: "It's natural." After all, if a man as talented as your lord, if he came forward to strike up a conversation and say a few touching words of love, how many women in this world would be able to Not excited yet. "

After listening to Queen Yueshi's words, Bai Su thought for a while.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Queen Yueshi in front of him, and said with a straight face: "I have admired you for a long time, and I am willing to hire you as a wife, entrust her as a gift, and have a continuous generation of heirs, so that I will live forever. Would you like to have dinner with me?"

As he said that, he pulled Queen Yuezhi up, with that delicate and boneless jade hand, and looked at her with affectionate eyes.

"Hey……"

Queen Yueshi was stunned for a while, her red lips parted, and she stammered: "Then...that, I want you to strike up a conversation with my daughter, what love words do you have for my mother-in-law."

Bai Su said with a smile on his face: "Because, compared to Her Majesty the Princess, I am more in love with you, Her Majesty the Queen."

"But...but I'm over 30, and I've become a wife and mother, you...how can you like me."

Queen Yueshi's face was no longer as calm as before, and a blush appeared on her fair and delicate pretty face.

She spat secretly, she thought this Bai Su was a decent person just now, but now it seems that he is not serious at all.

Bai Su said with a smile: "So what, there is a saying in my hometown, which is called female seniors, holding gold bricks, female seniors who are [-]th give away the country, not to mention... I am more in love with women than shy girls. There are so many styles.”

If Boss Cao were here, he would hold his hand excitedly and sigh, heroes see the same thing.

Queen Yuezhi glared at him coquettishly: "My lord, if you keep talking, I'll probably get angry."

After withdrawing her palm, her heart jumped up thumping.

As the lord of a country, it was the first time for her to see such a straightforward man who was admired by all the people in ordinary times.

She didn't know whether it was the influence of the Central Plains culture spread by the Yuezhi Kingdom for many years, or the uneasiness about Bai Su's identity. After seeing Bai Su's attitude towards her, not only did she not have much disgust in her heart, but she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, since Bai Su can do this, it means that he is not like Meng Tian, ​​who is devoted to His Majesty the Emperor, loyal and completely aloof.

For such a person with obvious human shortcomings, although the first impression is not very good.

But on the other hand, I have to admit that when people like Xiangbaisu get along, it is easier to relax and relieve pressure.

"Report, urgent report at the border..."

Just when she didn't know how to speak, a messenger from the Yueshi in the distance got off his horse and ran over quickly.

Queen Yuezhi took the letter and looked down, she gritted her teeth in anger, "These guys are really deceiving people."

Bai Su was stunned: "What happened to make you so angry?"

Queen Yueshi tried to calm her breath, and said: "Wusun Kingdom and Loulan Kingdom have been connected one after another. They have conquered more than ten cities on our border, and they have made great strides all the way. Now they send envoys to ask us to give us millions of dollars and silk, otherwise they will never retreat. .”

Bai Su couldn't help but sneered and said, "While attacking the city and occupying territory, at the same time sending envoys to demand compensation is indeed quite arrogant."

After hesitating for a long time, Queen Yueshi looked at Bai Su: "Sir, do you want me to give them some money first, and stabilize them first?"

Bai Su gave her a strange look: "What are you doing? When dealing with a hungry wolf that is baring its teeth, you should kick it hard so that it knows it hurts, so it won't dare to come and bite you."

"It's just a waste of effort if you cut meat to feed it. When it's full, it will come and bite you with greater strength until it devours you. Only fists are the truth."

The Queen of the Yuezhi smiled wryly: "Of course I understand what your lord said, but Wusun and Loulan are big countries in the Western Regions. This time the coalition forces are close to 20, which is quite like the Huns in the past. Normally, our Yuezhi country has a low victory rate." To thirty or forty percent, let alone now when we are weak."

"The only thing we can count on now is the army of the Central Plains, but now the Central Plains has only sent less than [-] soldiers and horses. Our disadvantage is too great. Why don't we give them money first and let them retreat."

"We take advantage of the situation to take back the city, seize the time to consolidate the frontier defense, replace the offense with defense, and make every step of the way. As long as the food, grass and supplies of the two countries are almost consumed, they will naturally retreat."

Hearing this, Bai Su couldn't help but smile on his face.

He said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Although I have few troops in the Central Plains, they are all elite soldiers with one enemy against five. Although the Allied Forces of the Western Regions seem to be powerful, they are no match for my army of tigers and wolves." It's just a bunch of mobs, nothing to worry about."

"This suzerain state is just a false name. Even if Da Xia became the suzerain state today, Her Majesty Queen will not be able to submit to Xianyang willingly. Only by truly sweeping the Western Regions, destroying Loulan and Wusun, can Da Xia truly unify the Western Regions. "

"Her Royal Highness can directly drive away those envoys, so that they can eat, drink, and indulge in pleasure after they go back. There is not much time left. The two countries will be destroyed if they say they are destroyed."

After all, besides taking over the vassal state of Yueshi, Bai Su also has the purpose of gaining prestige in the Western Regions this time.

As the saying goes, destroy one country and then bring down ten countries.

Facing a place like the Western Regions, where there are many states, there is an opportunity to show that the Central Plains has a strong national power to accept the younger brother, and let the small countries in the four directions call him father. How could he give up so easily.

Chapter 180 [-] I am doing this for diplomatic relations, don't get me wrong

Queen Yueshi looked at the confident Bai Su, and couldn't help being lost in thought for a long time.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses, bit her red lips lightly, and said: "My lord, if possible, let my concubine accompany you to the army and go to the front line."

"The flames of war are raging all over the place. It's too dangerous for His Highness to be on the battlefield."

Bai Su stroked his chin, with a hesitant look on his face.It's okay to flirt with a wife once in a while, but if he really brought it with him, he never thought about it.

After all, Queen Yuezhi is the lord of the country. If something goes wrong, the entire Yuezhi country will be without a leader, and it will be very troublesome for her to stabilize the situation in the future.

What's more, he is a courtier of Da Xia, and the queen of the Yueshi Kingdom, eats and lives with the army together, if it gets out, it will have some impact on her reputation.

Seeing the hesitant look on Bai Su's face, Queen Yuezhi walked away with the scepter in her hand, took two steps forward, and said with a serious expression: "My lord, after the chaos in the Yuezhi Kingdom, people are panic-stricken, and it is necessary to stabilize people's hearts." At that time, as the lord of a country, if I was on the front line, I would definitely be able to boost morale."

Bai Su glanced at Queen Yueshi's curvy curves, and felt firm in his heart, he must not just keep her by his side just because of the temptation of her beauty.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "His Royal Highness has a special status. This move is really too risky. I really don't agree with it."

Faced with Bai Su's tactful refusal, Queen Yuezhi was not in a hurry, her eyes like autumn water slowly raised up, looked at Bai Su and said, "My lord, it is precisely because of my special status that I have to go to the front line all the more." .”

"This way, the concubine can call on the troops of the Yue clan to assist Daxia's army in fighting."

"Secondly, if Wusun and Loulan's army can be defeated, this is also a good opportunity for this concubine to enhance her prestige and stabilize the Yuezhi Kingdom."

"If my lord wants to stabilize the situation in the Yueshi Kingdom through the hands of my concubine, then I must increase my influence. Otherwise, if my prestige is too low to suppress the situation in the court, then after the war If you want to hand over military power smoothly, you will inevitably be opposed by some radical people in the court."

"Besides..."

"Didn't your lord say that the army of Great Xia is mighty and mighty, let me witness the prosperity of the Central Plains with my own eyes when one ride reaches five? In this way... as a vassal state of Great Xia, at least I won't do it for today's Choose and regret."
