However, after successfully solving the problem of a possible joint attack by the three major powers, various conflicts arose due to the intensive preparations for war.
Especially the southern states that continuously supply weapons raw materials, because after Diao Si transferred all the original management agencies, the economy experienced regression, and because they made progress earlier and did not have the habit of being in war for a long time, all problems were solved. Blame it on the war, and anti-war sentiment suddenly surged.
There will always be contradictions in the development process, especially in such a leap-forward development as Diao Si. The contradictions have never stopped, and some contradictions that are not easy to resolve will become more and more intense.
Fortunately, a few days later, news came about that the Hengyang and Hengli Empires were uniting to deal with the Henglong Empire. This reason to jointly deal with the Henglong Empire is actually not a reason at all. Their purpose of doing this is just to kill this biggest threat.
It seems that the Henglong Empire cannot defeat the two countries' alliance. It seems that after this battle is over, the Hengxi Empire will have a chance.
Next, Diao Si strengthened the work of the spy station, because after the official war between the three countries, border security will definitely be strengthened, and it will not be easy for the spies of the Hengxi Empire to spread news here.
They soon came back with two pieces of news, but these two pieces of news were bad news for the Hengxi Empire. One was that the Henglong Empire suddenly took over and captured the Everlasting Temple, and it is still holding on there. .
This was the most sensitive thing for Hengyuan and the senior generals. Although they knew that they could not withstand the attacks from the other two countries, it was not their turn not to be nervous.
Second, regarding the discovery of individual spy members, it is not known whether they will reveal information about the Hengxi Empire's spy network. This may also attract the attention of the three countries, and maybe they will reunite to deal with the Hengxi Empire. Greek Empire.
In fact, in response to the situation when they were discovered, Diao Si had been specially trained before, requiring those spies to reveal their identities as the other two of the three major powers after they were discovered, because there was not much difference in the language and clothing habits of the people in the entire north. , This can also cause conflicts among the three countries.
It's just whether those who coerce confessions will use special means, such as mental magic, to grasp their most authentic information.
On the second day after the Henglong Empire guarded the Eternal Temple, news came back from the western coast border between the Hengxi Empire and the Hengyang Empire, saying that it was a team of envoys from the Henglong Empire, requesting Hengxi The empire helped them deal with the Heng Yang and Heng Li empires together.
It was originally the territory of the Hengyang Empire. Judging from the fact that the Henglong Empire can cross over like this, the territory of the Hengyang Empire should have been invaded.
This is great news, because with the current military strength of the Hengxi Empire, if combined with the Henglong Empire, it is completely possible to defeat the Hengyang and Hengli Empires.
But this is earlier than Hengyuan's original plan. It would be better if the Henglong Empire, Hengyang and Hengli Empire were defeated first, and the Hengxi Empire sent troops again.
But now if Heng Yang and Heng Li Empire unite, Heng Long Empire's power will be relatively weak, and they won't be able to support it for long.
The most worrying thing is that if these three powerful countries see the powerful weapons of the Hengxi Empire, they may reunite again and deal with the Hengxi Empire together first.
But the Hengxi Empire now has a lot of internal conflicts. They also need war, even if they are involved, it can attract people's attention and divert domestic conflicts.
So after serious thought and discussion, Diao Si suggested that Hengyuan agree to join forces with them, but she had to use the excuse that she didn't have much troops and could only provide food and equipment.
Hengyuan agreed with Diao Si's strategy, and then she and Diao Si met with the envoy group, and then told the generals of the envoy group the prepared cooperation plan.
In fact, this kind of cooperation is very rogue, but the Henglong Empire is currently in an unfavorable environment of one against two, so if it can get more support, why bother so much.
After the generals of the envoys agreed, they also asked Hengyuan to recognize the joint agreement with the honor of her warrior on the Day of Heng. That is, in the current situation where the Henglong Empire is in trouble, the Hengxi Empire must do everything it can to help. Henglong Empire.
But the Henglong Empire still noted the last clause of the agreement. The agreement will automatically expire after the common enemies of the two countries are resolved. They still have options, that is, they will still deal with the Hengxi Empire.
After hesitation, Hengyuan did as requested. There was no other way. The emperor and senior officials of the Henglong Empire were not stupid. If Hengyuan could not agree to these conditions, they would doubt the intentions of the Hengxi Empire.
After reaching this joint model, the first batch of supplies from the Hengxi Empire was immediately handed over to the Henglong Empire envoy team, but Hengyuan did not send her troops.
The envoy team of the Henglong Empire should also be rushing back to resume their lives. In order to prevent the Hengyang Empire's army from coming back, they immediately retreated.
Soon, the sound of war resounded throughout the entire Hengxi Imperial City. Not only the army, but also the civilians were preparing for the next war.
But even Diao Si could not have imagined that just when they were preparing for a sudden attack from the Hengyang Empire and the Hengli Empire, the Hengyang Empire suddenly sent a team of envoys.
This is really a headache for Diao Si and Heng Yuan. The Heng Yang Empire sent envoys here just to control them, and maybe even want to join forces with them to deal with the Heng Long Empire.
Because the borders are separated, the Hengyang Empire and the Hengxi Empire have been dealing with each other for some time. How could Hengyuan refuse when they sent envoys like this
But since it is obvious that an agreement has been reached with the Henglong Empire, it cannot be reached with the Hengyang Empire again. This was promised in front of the Hengzhi and with a sense of honor.
then what should we do? If they directly tell the Hengyang Empire that they have reached an agreement with the Henglong Empire, the Hengyang Empire will definitely be angry, and maybe they will attack soon.
But how can we persuade them to go back except for joining forces? After another round of meeting to study and discuss countermeasures, Hengyuan adopted a cunning strategy. First, she greeted the envoys of the Hengyang Empire well and gave them a very satisfactory reception.
Then, on the grounds that the people loved peace and did not want war and had no troops to fight, they declined to join forces with them and wished them victory in the final war.
Because they received great benefits, these envoys did not force the Hengxi Empire to join, but they still clearly warned Hengyuan that she must not cooperate with the Henglong Empire, otherwise the Hengyang Empire would join forces with the Hengli Empire to attack them. send troops.
Hengyuan was a little skeptical about this, but Diao Si told them on the spot that the Hengxi Empire loved peace and would never send troops to join their fight.
This was a clever argument that captured the words, but it was also a helpless response. If Hengyuan hadn't paid attention to the impact of honor, Diao Si would have lied to them directly.
After the envoys of the Hengyang Empire left, the Hengxi Empire's strategic deployment was fully launched. In order to ensure that the Hengyang and Hengli Empires could be defeated until they captured the final Eternal Temple, Diao Si moved the entire dragon clan here. The railways have become very tense.
But this time it was in preparation for the war, and the inconvenience caused to transportation did not arouse too many conflicts. Instead, it gained support from people from all walks of life.
Soon afterwards, news came back to the Hengxi Empire that the Henglong Empire, which had only occupied the Eternal Temple for three days, was finally defeated by the combined forces of the Hengyang and Hengli Empires.
This news was not reported by spies, but was directly sent by the Hengyang Empire to report to the Hengxi Empire, because this was a victory for them, and they wanted the Hengxi Empire to no longer have hope for the Henglong Empire.
This is a good thing for the Hengxi Empire, because the most basic principle is that any country that takes over the Eternal Temple is the target of public criticism and is the enemy of everyone, including the Henglong Empire.
Everything is good for the Hengxi Empire. The voices of the soldiers have become stronger and stronger. Even the common people have to donate money and materials for support. The morale is high and the situation is great. (To be continued)
