As the head of the Thirteen Prefectures and the majestic governor of the country, Xingwai Xingyuanguo can certainly see the hidden meaning in the imperial edict in the hands of the Minister of Rites.
Harmony leads to life, division leads to death.
However, Xing Yuanguo's understanding of this sentence has to go to a higher level than Fang Zhengzheng's words. This level is the intersection between nations.
It is not uncommon in history for a powerful country to absorb some of the surrounding more complex regions or small countries into vassal states.
There are many reasons. Sometimes it is because the country has just been founded and it is done temporarily to recuperate. Sometimes it is because of different regional cultures and it is necessary to appease the people and ensure the development of national strength.
The relationship between the Southern Territory and Daxia is naturally the latter.
Culture, belief.
No matter how much military power Daxia needs to conquer the Southern Territory, even if it can really be conquered, Daxia will not do so, because the differences in the culture of the Southern Territory represent differences in ideas and beliefs.
If it is governed according to the culture of Daxia.
The only possibility is that riots are widespread, fighting continues, manpower and material resources are consumed heavily, but the final result is that the people are in dire straits.
The sage Lin Mubai knew this, so how could Xing Yuanguo not know this
As for the way states intersect...
There is no doubt that any sage monarch will adopt the method of "giving both grace and power", but no matter how you combine it, there will definitely be "kindness" or "power".
The good or bad of the two will be ignored for the time being.
But one thing is certain, Daxia does not want to annex the Southern Territory, so for Daxia, what matters is not profit, but long-term.
When it comes to longevity, smart people will naturally choose the latter.
In fact, the Daxia Dynasty has indeed been doing this over the years.
Even if the Southern Territory goes to war with Daxia now, even if the Southern Territory has the idea of becoming an independent emperor, Daxia will still choose the latter without hesitation.
the reason is simple.
For the long haul.
This is not an empty statement.
The Southern Region is too special.
Show power
How to apply it
Send a few envoys to shout a few words? Or send tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison? The former is useless, while the latter, which consumes a huge amount of national power, is also useless.
Then, the most direct way to exert power is to kill!
Kill until you dare not resist.
But how many people are there in the Southern Region? The land is vast and sparsely populated. If you kill another group of people, it will only end up being a wasteland.
In this way, the way to deal with the state-to-state relations between the Southern Territory and Daxia becomes clear. The only option is to show kindness.
Talking about showing kindness.
The most brilliant method is of course not to deliver gold, silver and jewelry to beauties every day, but to provide help in the most critical moment.
When Xing Yuanguo saw the sentence in the imperial edict, "Harmony leads to life, division leads to death", he understood the meaning of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai sending the Minister of Etiquette.
wait!
When waiting for "help in times of need".
The appearance of Fang Zhengzheng brought the war between Daxia and the Southern Territory to an early stage. On the surface, it seemed to push Daxia into an extremely passive situation.
But on the contrary...
It also minimized Daxia's role in the southern region's war situation.
Dingshan Pass was broken and Daxia was unable to send troops for reinforcements. This was equivalent to cutting off the retreat. When the time was not ripe, it was also impossible for the prince's soldiers to rush to the Han Yuan tribe because there was no reason at all.
The martial arts test is not over yet.
But the prince went to the Hanyuan tribe to interfere in the competition between Fang Zhengzheng and Nangong Hao. Is it possible? Doesn't this make it clear to the Southern Territory that I am coming to attack your Holy Mountain City
Therefore, when the Holy Master Lin Mubai received the news that Dingshan Pass had been breached, he could already foresee the next direction of this war.
The prince's soldiers will definitely be surrounded, and no matter who wins or loses in the Hanyuan tribe's battle, they will be severely damaged in the end. In the best case, they will capture an "isolated city".
Moreover, it is still an "isolated city" that will be destroyed sooner or later.
under such circumstances.
Neither the Southern Territory nor the Demon Clan will regard Daxia's soldiers as a thorn in their side anymore, but will immediately implement the next plan.
Seize the opportunity.
In this way, Daxia changed from the initial "brightness" to "darkness".
Two dogs fight, play off.
Originally, Snipe and Clam were Daxia and the Southern Territory, and the demons were sitting safely in the position of fishermen. But in the blink of an eye, Snipe and Clam became the Southern Territory and the Demon Tribe, and Daxia became a "hideaway" hidden in the dark. Fisherman".
Who dares to say that this is not a good thing
After Xing Yuanguo saw the imperial edict, he knew what the Holy Emperor meant, so he naturally played the role of a "fisherman" watching the battle with peace of mind, and was always ready to benevolent to the Southern Territory.
Next…
Things are simple.
To watch the battle, it was of course impossible to stay in the Hanyuan tribe. After all, there was no battle to watch there, and it was impossible to send troops in large numbers. Therefore, Xing Yuanguo led two elite troops, the Mountain Breaking Army and the Dragon Guard. Arrive at Holy Mountain City.
As he expected.
As expected, the Holy Mountain City has a predicted war.
Moreover, the beating was very brutal.
As expected, the Southern Territory was defeated by the demons. However, what Xing Yuanguo didn't quite understand was why the Southern Territory could last so long despite the huge disparity in military strength and strength.
and…
What made him even more confused was that while the fight was going on, the two sides actually came to a truce.
Of course, this is not the most exaggerated thing. The most exaggerated thing is that the demons suddenly ran away while they had an absolute advantage.
Xing Yuanguo was really confused at the time.
He has very clear military intelligence, so he clearly knows that the Southern Territory has 80,000 elites buried outside the Holy Mountain City. However, judging from the current situation, 80,000 elites are obviously not enough.
In other words, at best, both sides suffer losses.
Then, Xing Qingsui's plan is of course to wait until the 80,000 elites counterattack the demons. The two sides fight fiercely, and when the Southern Territory Royal City looks like it has been breached...
Like nectar falling from heaven, he led his army into the royal city, snatched the king of the Southern Territory and the crown prince, and left.
But what's the result
The royal city is not broken!
Eighty thousand soldiers didn't come!
The demons still ran away? !
It is impossible for Xing Yuanguo to say that he is not confused at all.
Under such circumstances, it was certainly impossible for him to go in and "rob people" again, because if he went in to rob the Southern Territory King and the Crown Prince at this time, it would not be a favor, but an act of violence.
Xing Yuanguo is not impulsive.
On the contrary, he was very calm.
He didn't know what happened between the demons and the Southern Territory, but he understood an eternal truth. As a "fisherman", you must have enough patience.
The Royal City of the Southern Territory has not been destroyed, and the King of the Southern Territory and the Crown Prince of the Southern Territory are also in the royal city. So what is he afraid of
Guard.
Stay there until the demons turn around, waiting for the next opportunity.
Of course, while guarding on one side, he also sent people to follow the demons, explore the direction in which the demon soldiers left, and restarted gathering intelligence.
quickly…
He got the reported information.
"When the punishment is announced, the direction of the demon clan's march is towards the Iron Qiu tribe!"
"Tieqiu tribe?" Xing Yuanguo had some confusion on his face.
At the same time, he was also thinking rapidly in his mind, why did the demons run to the Iron Soldier Tribe in such a hurry? Is it the Tieqiu tribe who is fighting
Impossible... The Iron Qiu Tribe has no soldiers... Wait a minute, could it be that the 80,000 elites from the Southern Territory did not go back to save the Holy Mountain City, but went to the Iron Qiu Tribe
Why did you come to the Iron Soldier Tribe...
not good! So that’s it! "
Xing Yuanguo's experience was so rich. In just a few moments, he guessed the direction of the battle and understood what was going to happen in the Tieqiu tribe.
However, this also left Xing Yuanguo with two choices in front of him.
One is to continue to defend the Holy Mountain City and wait for an opportunity, and the other is to rush to the Iron Hill Tribe to reinforce the Southern Territory. The first choice is to follow the Holy Will and avoid too many casualties.
The second option is against the holy will, and may also lead to the complete annihilation of the entire army.
"Qingsui, what choice do you think a father should make?" Xing Yuanguo looked at Xing Qingsui on his right, who was also frowning, and asked casually.
"This... I think we should rush to the Iron Qiu tribe!" Xing Qingsui's eyes flashed. Although he seemed hesitant at first, he soon became extremely determined.
"Where is Mr. Nangong?" Xing Yuanguo did not look at Xing Qingsui anymore, but turned his eyes to Nangong Hao on his left, who had a face as calm as water.
"Nangong Hao is just a scholar, and all deployments on the battlefield are subject to punishment."
"Okay, here is my order to rush to the Tieqiu tribe immediately!" Xing Yuanguo did not hesitate too much and directly chose the second method that violated the holy will.
This has nothing to do with being proud of one's merit.
only because…
He is the prisoner of the Zhenguo Mansion!
"Yes!" The messenger immediately responded softly.
…
Fang Zhengzheng guessed that Xing Yuanguo would definitely lead two elite groups, the Dragon Guard and the Poshan Army, to the Holy Mountain City. In fact, Xing Yuanguo did come.
only…
Gone again.
So, the results can be imagined.
Fang Zhengzheng did many ways to lure Xing Yuanguo to find him.
For example: when he was leaving the royal city, he deliberately slowed down his pace, took off the thick rattan armor that hid his identity, and put on his iconic blue gown.
in his thoughts.
Since Xing Yuanguo came to the Holy Mountain City to "wait and wait", then it should be necessary and affirmative to drop a few skilled secret guards, spies and the like in the royal city, right
However…
All the way to the gate of the royal city, Fang Zhengzheng still gained nothing.
"It turns out it's at the foot of the mountain." Fang Zhengzheng felt that he still overestimated Xing Yuanguo's hiding ability. Don't you understand the meaning of darkness under the lamp
The most dangerous place is the safest place!
It's written in ancient books.
Thanks to you, you are still a dignified minister of the government, but you are hiding far away at the foot of the Holy Mountain City? Can't you have a little more courage
Fang Zhengzheng was somewhat disdainful of Xing Yuanguo's arrangements.
However, he still said it was understandable.
In order to lure out the secret sentries and spies from the royal city to the foot of the mountain, Fang Zhengzheng once again resorted to the method of "luring the snake out", such as deliberately walking into a dark place, or deliberately letting out weird laughter loudly.
"Ha ha ha ha… "
"Hey hey hey!"
"Kekeke... acridine acridine..."
“…”
Fang Zhengzheng tried all kinds of weird laughter that he could think of, but he was a little disappointed...
Except for the weird expressions from Princess Shan Yu and Shan Ling.
It's of no use.
The mountain is still the same mountain, but it is a silent mountain.
"Prince, princess, what color do you like?" Of course Fang Zhengzheng didn't give up, and soon he "wittily" called out the words prince and princess.
It was a sound that was almost close to a roar.
He felt that no matter how deaf Xing Yuanguo was, or no matter how stupid he was, when he heard the words prince and princess, he should have come out to take a look, right
However…
It was still quiet all around.
Except, the expressions of Shan Ling and Princess Shan Yu have changed from weird to twitching.
"Color?" Shan Ling just glanced at Fang Zhengzheng and didn't even bother to answer. What time is it now and this guy is still here asking about the color
Shouldn't he contact Sergeant Daxia immediately
After walking all the way from the royal city, we were almost at the foot of the Holy Mountain, but we still didn't see even a shadow of a soldier.
Shan Ling really doubted whether what Fang Zhengzheng said was true.
A "spy" assigned by the Emperor of Daxia had no way of communicating with and responding to the army. Even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe it.
Fake
Have you been deceived by this guy again
Such thoughts flashed through Shan Ling's mind more than once.
However, he was still suppressed in the end, because Fang Zhengzheng had a holy order in his hand, and it was the holy order of the Emperor of Great Xia.
From Shan Ling's perspective.
Even if Fang Zhengzheng was extremely brave, he would never dare to falsely pass on the Holy Order, because that would be a serious crime that would lead to beheading or even being executed by the nine clans.
No one dares to commit it.
What's more, Fang Zhengzheng is still a fourth-rank official in the Great Xia Dynasty, and has an unlimited future. It is impossible not to know this truth, and it is impossible to risk his life.
wait!
This was Shan Ling's decision. He decided to wait until the bottom of the mountain.
Of course, if Fang Zhengzheng still has no way to contact the Dragon Guards and Mountain Breaking Army at the foot of the mountain, it can only mean that everything Fang Zhengzheng said is a lie.
There are no Dragon Guards or Mountain Breakers at all.
The 80,000 elite members of the Tieqiu tribe had no hope of survival.
So…
Is there any meaning for Fang Zhengyi to live
Shan Ling looked at Fang Zhengyi, who was strutting on the ground next to him, and slowly clenched his fists, then slowly unclenched them.
He had a different idea than Shan Ling.
Princess Shan Yu did not doubt that what Fang Zhengzheng said was a lie.
She was just a little surprised. Why did Fang Zhengzheng suddenly remember to ask her what color she liked? What is this guy thinking about
or…
Do you want to give yourself clothes
But, as a dignified princess of the Southern Region, would she accept the clothes from this guy
"I like white clothes, pure white color, not a little bit of mottled color, and the neckline should be a little lower, so that the neck can appear longer..." Princess Shanyu felt a little disdainful, but she still put it The request was stated in detail.
"Are you stupid? With a low neckline, who would look at your neck?" Although Fang Zhengzheng didn't quite understand why Princess Shan Yu would suddenly talk about clothes because he just asked about a color.
However, he still felt that he needed to correct Princess Shan Yu's wrong thinking.
