Since the end of the war between the two places, the severely damaged Nine Kingdoms are still gradually recovering.
The Lower Three Kingdoms were completely destroyed by the Three Religions, and two of the Middle Three Kingdoms also suffered heavy losses and were almost destroyed. Naturally, recovery will not be possible in a short time.
Fortunately, the Three Kingdoms extended a helping hand to help the destroyed country rebuild.
During this process, someone came up with the idea that the current nine-nation structure was too cumbersome and that the lower three kingdoms should not continue to exist and should be merged into the middle three kingdoms, turning the nine kingdoms into six kingdoms.
In this way, if the next war between the two places breaks out again, there will no longer be a burden like the Lower Three Kingdoms, the Central Three Kingdoms will be stronger than before, and the Upper Three Kingdoms will not have to allocate their forces to protect the weak Lower Three Kingdoms.
At first glance, such a proposal seemed very feasible and very desirable. It also aroused a lot of discussion for a while. Many people agreed with it and hoped that the structure of the Nine Nations could change.
In fact, this proposal does have its validity. The Nine Kingdoms pattern does have the problem of imbalance of strength and weakness. The Tang Kingdom, which is as powerful as the above three kingdoms, became the main battlefield in the war between the two places. Even though its vitality was damaged, its national strength was still Now, there is no such tragic situation as the destruction of the country.
As for the weak Lower Three Kingdoms, not long after the war between the two places broke out, the three Lower Three Kingdoms fell one after another, allowing the Three Religions to successfully gain a foothold in the Nine Kingdoms, and the situation suddenly tilted towards the Three Religions.
If Fang Lin hadn't led people to guard Qian Country, which supported him for a long time and hindered the progress of the three religions to a certain extent, I am afraid that the three religions would have gained a greater advantage at that time.
As for the Central Three Kingdoms, they are in an embarrassing situation of neither being superior nor inferior. If the Lower Three Kingdoms are merged into the Central Three Kingdoms, this will not only reduce the burden of the Upper Three Kingdoms, but also enhance the strength of the Central Three Kingdoms. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Even if the war between the two places breaks out again, and the power between the six countries is more concentrated, it will be much more difficult for the three religions to open a gap from the six countries than before.
However, in the eyes of the senior officials of the Three Kingdoms, such a proposal may seem desirable, but in fact it is not feasible.
The Nine Kingdoms pattern has existed for so many years. It is not without its reasons. The Lower Three Kingdoms are so weak. It is completely casual for the Middle Three Kingdoms and the Upper Three Kingdoms to annex them. However, over the years, there has been almost no strong country. The matter of annexing weak countries.
It's not that they don't have the ability, but that only by maintaining this pattern can the Nine Kingdoms deal with the three religions.
Compared with the three religions with scarce land, the combined territory of the Nine Kingdoms is really too large. If the three religions want to attack the Nine Kingdoms, there are only two ways to go.
The first one is to attack any one of the Three Kingdoms by force, and use the most direct and stupidest way to open a gap and invade the Nine Kingdoms.
This method is something that neither the Nine Kingdoms nor the Three Religions are happy to see, especially the path that the Three Religions do not want to choose, because it means that the Three Religions will have to fight head-on with the Nine Kingdoms from the beginning, and there is no time for the Three Religions to If the Nine Kingdoms gain a foothold, they will immediately face the most powerful offensives and the most powerful experts from the three religions.
As for the second way, in addition to forcibly attacking any of the Upper Three Kingdoms, allocate part of the force to occupy the Lower Three Kingdoms and let the Nine Kingdoms be attacked from both sides. This is the most favorite and most acceptable way for the three religions.
Because this approach can give both sides breathing time and means of response, making the battle situation more changeable and flexible.
Especially for the Nine Kingdoms, attracting part of the power of the Three Religions into the hinterland of the Nine Kingdoms at the expense of the Three Kingdoms is not a risky move, but an excellent means to relieve the pressure of the Nine Kingdoms.
As long as the three religions allocate their forces to occupy the Lower Three Kingdoms and then start to attack the Three Middle Kingdoms, then the three religions will have to invest at least 40% of their strength in the hinterland of the Nine Kingdoms.
In this way, the pressure on the frontal battlefield of the Three Kingdoms will be reduced a lot.
The painful experiences in the past have taught the Nine Kingdoms that only this seemingly foolish approach can gain a rare opportunity for the Nine Kingdoms to win the final victory.
To put it bluntly, the existence of the Lower Three Kingdoms is destined to be sacrificed. The people of the Three Religions will attack the Lower Three Kingdoms first no matter what, in order to seize the opportunity and advantage. The Nine Kingdoms are just waiting for the people of the Three Religions to fall into the urn, and then Take your time and try to catch a turtle in an urn.
It’s just that the people of the Lower Three Kingdoms are in trouble. Every time the two places fight, the place where the most people die is in the Lower Three Kingdoms. Even on the front battlefield of the Tang Kingdom, the number of people who die is less than the total number of people in the Lower Three Kingdoms combined. many.
Therefore, the Lower Three Kingdoms must exist. If the Lower Three Kingdoms are merged into the Middle Three Kingdoms to enhance the strength of the Middle Three Kingdoms and leave the three religions with no chance to take advantage, then if the next war between the two places breaks out, the three religions will have no choice but to attack the upper three kingdoms. The Three Kingdoms can take this path, and no one can imagine how fierce and cruel the war will be.
Because there is only one way for both sides to go, then there is only one way to go to the dark side and fight to the end.
A hundred miles away from the east of Yun Kingdom, there is an extremely vast dense forest, but there are not many monsters in it, and there are even fewer powerful monsters.
The Yun Kingdom is one of the Lower Three Kingdoms. It is still silently licking the wounds left by the war between the two places, but at least it has the appearance of a country.
On this day, outside the eastern border of the Yun Kingdom, a large number of soldiers from the Yun Kingdom gathered on top of a city. At this moment, they were all looking at the dense forest outside the city with great nervousness.
Waves of terrifying roars sounded, not only the soldiers on top of the city, but also the people inside the city felt uneasy.
The most powerful person in this border city is just a warrior at the peak of Tianyuan, who has not even reached the realm of spiritual veins.
But it's no wonder. After all, this is the Lower Three Kingdoms. Tianyuan warriors are already very powerful beings. There are very few spiritual warriors, let alone spiritual bones and spiritual sources. They don't exist at all.
At this moment, the Tianyuan warrior was standing on the top of the city together with many soldiers, looking at the dense forest with extremely solemn eyes.
A large number of birds flew across the sky, appearing panicked, and there were many pitiful roars of wild beasts in the dense forest, as if a disaster was imminent.
"City Lord, what's going on?" A young soldier asked the Tianyuan master.
The middle-aged man with Tianyuan cultivation cursed. How could he know what was happening? Since he had neither spiritual eyes nor pupil skills, his eyes were just stronger than ordinary people. He could not see anything in the dense forest. What exactly happened in.
"City Lord, look quickly, there seems to be mist coming over." A soldier with extraordinary eyesight said quickly and loudly.
The middle-aged man looked carefully, and in addition to seeing a gray mist spreading in the dense forest, he also saw several beasts that were dead and shriveled.
: The first update is here, I continue to code, and the passport I applied for is also available. It seems that the efficiency is still good.
