At present, the Liang Kingdom deserves to be the first in terms of national power. Yan and Chu are relatively weak, followed closely by the Xiping Kingdom. The gate was breached by Liang Guo.
At this time, Hong Jiang, the angry king of Xiping Kingdom, was drunk and dreaming in the palace. Most of the women in Xiping Kingdom were vulgar in appearance, and the angry king was naturally lustful. Almost all the concubines and female officials in the palace were kidnapped from the Central Plains for his entertainment. In troubled times, women are not as good as dogs, and women are inherently weak. For them, they will be bullied no matter where they are, so they might as well enjoy this moment of glory and wealth.
While Hongjiang was immersed in the wine pool and the meat forest, the Xiping Kingdom's Zhengdong General Ashannu, wearing heavy armor, strode into the palace. Seeing such a scene, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. He clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you have Liang." Foreign enemies are invading."
Although Hong Jiang was extravagant, he was a rare master of the art of war. The reason why the Xiping Kingdom was able to survive in troubled times, apart from its geographical location, was all due to Hong Jiang's skill in using troops. According to legend, when the military strength was equal or slightly inferior to that of the opponent, Even if this person faced Li Jian of the Liang Kingdom, he would not fall behind. He even raised him to the height of Sikong Li and Baili Jin. There was always a huge disparity in strength, but he could always take advantage of the right time and place to minimize the damage in battle.
Hearing this, Hong Jiang still hugged the naked beauty beside him and said with a smile: "It's those people from the Liang Kingdom again. I've been beaten for so many years, but I'm still alive and well. Now that Li Jian has been named a king with a different surname, it's equivalent to Without military power, they rise and fall secretly, and there is almost no possibility of fighting. The remaining three generals have nothing to fear."
Ashannu's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Since the king is so confident, the general will not worry." It's not that Ashannu is arrogant, but because the terrain of Xiping Kingdom is steep, surrounded by the sea on three sides, only the northwest border and Liang State's Jingzhou The border undoubtedly forms a natural barrier. It is absolutely impossible for Chu and Yan to cross the border of Liang State to attack. If Liang State sends troops to attack, Ashan Nu is 100% sure to take advantage of the geographical advantage to engulf it with only 30,000 soldiers and horses. Liang Guo has an army of 100,000, and Liang Guo must always be on guard against Chu and Yan joining forces. When the time comes, there will be chaos all over the country, and Liang Guo will be attacked from both sides. If he is not careful, everything will be lost. Therefore, Ah Shannu guessed that even if Emperor Wu of Liang jumped over the wall in a hurry, he would only send an army of 200,000 to attack the Xiping Kingdom. Two hundred thousand, in Ashannu's view, was nothing more than giving free military merit to his soldiers.
King Nu stood up slowly and squinted at Ashan Nu at the foot of the steps. He was nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a leopard's head and eyes. Just standing like this, he looked like a heavenly war god, which was intimidating. How could King Nu, who was well versed in the art of war, not know the latter's little thoughts? It's just that Hong Jiang thought very highly of himself and did not take Ashan Nu seriously. He twitched the corner of his mouth and asked again: "General Zhengdong, what's the matter?" What's the matter?"
A Shannu replied: "Report to your Majesty, Shangshu Ling left the mansion early this morning. According to the guard's report, Shangshu Ling went to sea alone. As for where he went, no one knows."
Hong Jiang snorted coldly: "A scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken, what else can he do except show off his words! If he hadn't left Dongyue Academy with this intention, I would have killed him with one knife. General, you don't have to worry about this." At that time, when he comes back, I will ask him personally."
Ashannu sighed quietly. He had not had much contact with Mr. Li Mi. Logically speaking, they were both civil and military, and jointly assisted King Nu. There should be a lot of interactions between them in private. But in fact, the two of them were never alone in private. After getting along with each other, they tended to avoid suspicion. Ah Shannu didn't have a good impression of the proud disciple who came from Dongyue Academy. However, he felt helpless when Prince Nu arranged it in front of him in private. Both of them were just relying on others. Just a lackey.
But he said that Li Mi's decision to go to sea alone was not an impromptu decision. It was just a plan he had set up three years ago. Now that the appointed day has come, it was time to end it. However, things are unpredictable and people's hearts change, so Li Mi was not completely sure that it would be possible.
Landing on Yunxi Island, which even the Nu King had never known, Li Mi took a deep breath first. The proud eyes of the Li family who had once shone brightly in Dongyue Academy were cold and cold. Three years ago, I went on a long trip to the sea and accidentally discovered Yunxi Island, which is separated from the Xiping Kingdom by a sea and is isolated from the world. The island is rich in products and has 3,000 island residents, all of whom are tall and tall. Li Mixian originally planned to take these 3,000 households of islanders under his command due to his strong military force, but Yunxi, the king of the island, was unruly and unwilling to be under the control of others.
Li Mi Xiangui was the Minister of the State of Xiping. He had a lotus-like tongue and could turn things around with just a few words. But after all, he was just a weak scholar with no power to tie a chicken. As the saying goes, when a scholar encounters a soldier, he can't explain why. I don't know what he said to offend. When he arrived at Ou Yunxi, the latter gave an order to have Li Mixian tied up. If he had not revealed his identity as a student of Dongyue Academy, I am afraid that Li Mixian would have become the soul of Ou Yunxi.
The famous Dongyue Academy was founded during the Qin Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. In the past six hundred years, 90% of the world's top counselors came from here. Emperors and princes of all dynasties were proud to have an academy student to assist them. Three hundred years ago, the Seven Kingdoms were at war. The reason why the Liang Kingdom was able to stand out from the other countries was because the founding emperor of the Liang Kingdom, Emperor Liang Xuan, had only five students to help him. It can be said that he had the right time, place and people. As the Liang Kingdom grew stronger, the temples Above all, it is said that the academy students conquer the world.
Ou Yunxi had lived overseas for a long time, but he had heard a little bit about the famous Dongyue Academy. Hearing that this man actually came from the academy, although he still didn't believe it, he didn't dare to take risks. He personally loosened Li Mi's restraints and asked, "How are you doing? Self-certification comes from Dongyue Academy?"
Li Mi first rubbed his slightly sore arm and said proudly: "If the Island King can't trust me, I'll just die. If he can't be trusted, you and I might as well join forces and conspire for big things!"
Ou Yunxi's expression was gloomy and he seemed to be weighing the situation. As the owner of Yunxi Island, he was free from the world and living a comfortable life. He really couldn't think of any attractive terms that Li Mi could offer. It can be seen that this person is extraordinary. Although he is in danger at the moment, he is still calm and calm. He can't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart, so he asked: "Your Excellency, why don't you tell me what a big event it is and whether it can impress someone in the district."
Li Mi said calmly: "The King of the Island is unparalleled in his grace. He will not be willing to settle on this island for the rest of his life. Now that the world is divided into four parts, it is the time for heroes to come forward. I sincerely invite the King of the Island to join you and me. People join hands to compete in the Central Plains and achieve hegemony together!"
When Ou Yunxi heard this, his already slightly narrow eyes narrowed and he stared at Li Mixian. After a while, he dispersed his confidants, leaving only Li Mixian and the two of them. No third party knew what was said.
As for what promises Li Mi Xian made later, no one is destined to know except him and Ou Yunxi. However, in the end, Li Mi Xian returned to Xiping Country safely and kept the matter in his heart. No one disclosed it. After that, the two After exchanging letters for a long time, Li Mi first secretly sent many martial arts secret books to Ou Yunxi. The latter was already good at martial arts. After getting the secret books, he became even more powerful. He was originally only a fourth-class top martial artist. In just three years, , with the help of the secret book given by Li Mixian, he broke through the two and three obstacles in one fell swoop, achieved the rooting state, and became a first-class master in the world.
Now that the three-year appointment has passed, Li Mi Xian visited as scheduled. Ou Yunxi sent someone to wait on the shore early and took Li Mi Xian to Xiaoyao Cave. Ou Yunxi had prepared a banquet. When he saw Li Mi Xian, he smiled heartily and said : "Mr. Li is finally here. It's really easy for someone in the district to wait."
Li Mixian looked as usual and said: "Fortunately, the island king did not order anyone to tie up Wuhuada this time."
When Ou Yunxi heard this, his smile became even thicker. He was originally a martial artist and didn't know much about reading. He always looked down upon pedantic scholars, but he had an inexplicable fondness for scholars who dared to make fun of him. Li Mi gave him the book first and helped him. I was already grateful that I had broken through the shackles and stepped into the master realm. Seeing Li Mixian like this, I felt even closer to him.
Raising his hand to signal Li Mi to take a seat first, Ou Yunxi raised his wine glass and said, "Mr. Li, someone from Ou has made all preparations as agreed. Now there are 3,000 households on the island, with a total of more than 8,000 people. We can make up 4,000 to go to Ma Ke." The soldiers who fought in the battle have achieved the realm of rooting with the help of sir. I think if we fight alone, no one in Xiping country except Ashannu will be Ou's opponent. But, I don't know how prepared sir is?"
Li Mi smiled first and said: "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. I have received news that Emperor Wu of Liang has issued a death order at the Jinluan Palace a few days ago, ordering Cao Bo to wipe out the rebellion in Xiping Kingdom within half a year. However, Xiping Kingdom occupies natural dangers and is easy to defend. It is difficult to attack. Cao Bo's army is not good at water warfare. He has only 100,000 soldiers and horses. Facing Ashannu's 40,000 army, unless they all go out, they will never come back. If I guess right, in ten days Within a few days, the Liang Kingdom will definitely send troops, and General Ashannu will definitely be sent to the front line by King Nu to fight. When the time comes, the King of the Island will personally lead his men to attack Huanglong, and Ashannu will be unable to save him even if he wants to save him!"
Ou Yunxi touched his chin, as if he didn't believe it. After all, the Xiping Kingdom claimed to have 150,000 soldiers, but they could only mobilize 40,000 troops away from the mountain, leaving 90,000 elite soldiers and generals. If 8,000 of his own men were gone, how was it different from striking a stone with an egg? Aren't you just throwing yourself into a trap?
Xu Shi saw Ou Yunxi's concerns, and Li Mixian continued: "Don't worry, the king of the island, except for General Ashannu, the other three generals Zhenxi, Pingnan, and Xunbei have been incited to rebel, and the three of them hold the The 90,000-strong army will also join them by then, and the 20,000 soldiers of the Nu King are nothing to be afraid of."
Ou Yunxi tapped her wine glass with her fingers and asked, "How can someone like Ou trust you?"
"If what I say is false, after the island king released me that day, I could just walk away. Why go to all the trouble to give me secret books as a gift? I think that even if I am the Minister of the Xiping Kingdom, no matter how unsuccessful I am, if I hide Inside the territory, it would be difficult for the island king to leave the island to kill me. Besides, there are only over 8,000 people on Yunxi Island. Is it worth risking my life? So what if I catch them all in one fell swoop? What's the point of asking for military merit for a civil servant? Use it?" Li Mixian looked as usual, "But the island king has doubts, which is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with me. The island king is a smart man. He should know the authenticity of what I said. If you have any worries, you might as well say it out today. It will save you. There will be a gap between you and me in the future."
Ou Yunxi smiled, his face softened slightly, and said: "Mr. Li is quick to speak quickly. Mr. Ou is really happy. It's just that Mr. Li left a good minister's order improperly. Why do you have to be that rebellious minister and rebel? It's a little wrong. It will be beyond redemption."
Li Mixian said calmly: "Good birds choose trees to roost. The scribes below cannot do the feat of opening up borders and splitting the soil. They can only rely on others. If we only talk about the ability to lead troops, King Nu is indeed a genius. As I can see below , only Sikong Li and Baili Jin were slightly better in the world, and even Li Jian of the Liang Kingdom was not as good as King Nu. But the king of a country cannot just lead troops to fight, and the art of controlling his subordinates is a mess. The ministerial order of a well-established country cannot satisfy my appetite."
"Xiping Kingdom is located in a remote area, easy to defend and difficult to attack. He Hongjiang did not want to make progress. He only wanted to be a defensive person and was unwilling to take the initiative. He wanted to make Liang Guo, Yan and Chu both lose after the war. However, no matter which country wins, it will be brought by the general trend. The three countries can only see no checks and balances on each other. How should the small Xiping country deal with it? The island king does not know something. In the early years, I had an affair with a junior brother. There was a nine-game gambling game in the academy. I won three games and then lost four games in a row. I was so angry that I didn't want to continue the last two games. Then I lost the opportunity and asked my junior brother to choose who will belong to him in the future. I had no choice but to play. I can only worship under the sect of King Nu. Although I have no innate advantages, I have always had a high self-esteem. I believe that even Xiping, the weakest country in the country, can turn the clouds and achieve great success, and severely trample my junior brother on it. So, an angry king who only enjoys the fruits of that one-third of an acre of land is far from being able to satisfy my ambition!"
Ou Yunxi couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and asked with a smile: "I wonder which of Mr. Li's junior brothers is where he is now?"
Li Mi first gritted his teeth and said word by word: "My junior brother is none other than the chief counselor of the Yan Kingdom, Guo Yuan."
