After the battle at Tianfeng Mountain, the elite Hu tribe who threatened northern Daxia were completely wiped out.
Therefore, within thirty years, the Hu people will be unable to send troops to Daxia.
This move invisibly brought thirty years of peace to northern Daxia.
After capturing Jizhou, since the children of the sixth prince were not in Jizhou, Liu Mo had sent a large number of his men to look for them. Before finding them, Liu Mo appointed himself regent to handle state affairs.
For a time, news from all over Daxia continued to gather in Liu Mo's hands.
The fiefdom ministers who originally belonged to the sixth prince expressed their willingness to continue to be loyal, but only if they were loyal to the children of the sixth prince, not Liu Mo.
Regarding this point, Liu Mo did not respond much.
If he finds the children of the sixth prince, he will naturally support him as the emperor of Great Xia, but Liu Mo himself must exercise power in the name of guardian.
The reason for doing this is also forced by the situation.
First of all, the sixth prince's children are young and really need a capable person to assist them.
Secondly, it is also the most important point.
Even Liu Mo's men complained about the flooding of hundreds of thousands of Daxia soldiers, not to mention other Daxia officials.
If Liu Mo loses his rights, he will be doomed.
Not long after, what was supposed to happen finally happened.
The former crown prince, now the legal emperor of Daxia, issued a proclamation, announcing that Liu Mo was a national traitor and that he would send troops to attack him.
This time, he sent all his family resources and an army of 100,000 to rush to Jizhou in a mighty manner.
At this moment, Liu Mo's old friend, whom he had not seen for a long time, quietly appeared in the night.
"Master Liu, you're welcome and safe!"
This person is none other than Tang Qingfeng.
"Brother Tang, you're fine!" Liu Mo responded with a smile.
"I heard that you flooded the entire Yingzhou City?"
The news spread like wildfire, and Tang Qingfeng naturally found out.
He smiled when he spoke, but Liu Mo couldn't smile. The pressure from all sides these days made him breathless. Although no one pointed at him to his face, he could see the clues in the eyes of the ministers.
Everyone is thinking, "You're the murderer!"
The saddest thing is that even Lu Sheng and Sun Kan, Liu Mo's most trusted generals, don't understand him.
Now, this matter has become a thorn in Liu Mo's heart, and he really doesn't want to mention it.
"Yes, the enemy troops of more than 400,000, as well as the Sixth Prince's army of more than 100,000, as well as the people of Yingzhou City, were all drowned by me." Liu Mo responded.
"In order to win this war, I used the Sixth Prince's army of hundreds of thousands, plus General Ming Guiming and his own five thousand soldiers as bait to paralyze the enemy army, and then kill the enemy army in one fell swoop."
Hearing this, Tang Qingfeng laughed loudly, "And you only lost five thousand men, right?"
"That's okay if you say so!"
"Even if you treat the Sixth Prince's army of hundreds of thousands as your own subordinates and trade one hundred thousand for four hundred thousand, your results will already be brilliant!"
Liu Mo frowned when he heard Tang Qingfeng's words. "Brother Tang, is this what you came here to say?"
Tang Qingfeng shook his head, "Of course not!"
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Mo, "Yang Yizhi asked me to give it to you."
"Yang Yizhi?" Liu Mo said in surprise. "Where did you meet him? And when did he give you this letter?"
"Ten days ago, Rongcheng!" Tang Qingfeng replied.
"What? Rongcheng?" Liu Mo felt a chill down his spine. "The Zhou Dynasty captured Rongcheng?"
Tang Qingfeng grinned, "Yes, I opened the city gate myself!"
"You..." Liu Mo was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "Why are you doing this?"
What Liu Mo wants to say is, you and I are friends after all. If you don't help me defend my hometown, what are you going to do to help the Zhou Dynasty capture Rongcheng?
In Rongcheng, I have my wife and children...
"Master Liu, are you confused?" Tang Qingfeng asked, "How can I defend Rongcheng with my own strength? How many troops do you have left in Rongcheng? Can you stop the Zhou Dynasty's cavalry?"
Liu Mo was speechless.
"The reason why I will help the Zhou Dynasty army open the city gate is because I have an agreement with Yang Yizhi!" Tang Qingfeng continued, "Open the city gate, welcome the Zhou Dynasty army into the city, and spare the lives of your family."
I see!
After hearing this, Liu Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Brother Tang!"
If it weren't for this person, my whole family would probably have died in the war.
"No need to say thank you, just open the letter and read it," Tang Qingfeng reminded. "After reading it, write a reply. Yang Yizhi is waiting for it."
Opening the letter and looking at it carefully, Liu Mo suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
The content is very simple. Yang Yizhi asked Liu Mo to lead his men to surrender to the Zhou Dynasty. In exchange, Yang Yizhi will personally lead the army to help Liu Mo destroy the prince's troops.
In the current situation, such a suggestion is very tempting.
Even if Liu Mo cooperates with the prince, Calais' troops cannot stop the Zhou army, not to mention that neither of them can tolerate the other.
But, will Daxia be destroyed?
No, Liu Mo must not let such a thing happen.
Otherwise, how would the historians of this time record me, Liu Mo?
The national traitor who destroyed Daxia? Wu Shangui on Earth?
Get a pen and paper and write down your response.
"Brother Yang, I will not interfere in your attack on the Daxia rebels. You can take the territory for yourself. But I, Liu Mo, will never surrender, and Daxia cannot be destroyed in my hands!
Here, I suggest that Daxia and the Zhou Dynasty form a brotherly state. Daxia will pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty every year and use the prince as a pledge. "
The reply was brief but contained a lot of information.
If you want to fight the prince, I won't interfere. It's your job to plunder Daxia's territory, and I can't interfere.
But Daxia must exist, no matter what way it is. Even if it means professing vassal status, paying tribute, and handing over the prince as a hostage.
Don't get me wrong, Liu Mo is not the Emperor of Great Xia, so what does the prince being a hostage have to do with him.
Moreover, during this period, he would accumulate strength and unite with Xingluo and the Hu tribe to the west. After becoming stronger, he would then have a showdown with the Zhou Dynasty.
"Have you finished writing?" Tang Qingfeng asked.
Liu Mo nodded, and then handed the reply letter to Tang Qingfeng.
"Master Liu, I'm afraid the other party won't accept your reply!" Tang Qingfeng said, "In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before the Zhou Dynasty's cavalry conquers Daxia..."
Liu Mo smiled, "Brother Tang, you may not know what I have experienced during this time." He said, "It is not that simple for the Zhou Dynasty to destroy me, Daxia.
If Yang Yizhi insists on fighting with me and Liu Mo to the death, then the Hu people in the north and the Xingluo people will smile crookedly. "
"That's true!" Tang Qingfeng nodded. "Then I will reply to Yang Yizhi with this!"
"Thank you, Brother Tang!" Liu Mo said, "I'm sorry that I won't send you far!"
Watching Tang Qingfeng disappear before his eyes, Liu Mo lay down tiredly on the bed.
To be honest, he didn't even have the confidence to say what he just said.
How the situation will develop remains to be seen.
