Ten days later, the situation began to improve.
According to the report from the spies, Liu Mo's good wife, Princess Ayina of Xingluo, took action. She has successfully convinced the Xingluo tribes and is now leading the army to Jizhou to reinforce Liu Mo.
Another news is that Batamu, the leader of the Hu tribe bordering the Western Region, has successfully conquered the surrounding areas.
After receiving Liu Mo's urgent letter, he also expressed his willingness to send troops to help Liu Mo repel the enemy. But the premise is that if they are asked to send troops, they have to cede land and give them money!
If it really comes to that point, Liu Mo will certainly not be stingy.
At the same time, the men sent out to look for the children of the sixth prince also came back.
In order to avoid being pursued by their two uncles, they hid in a remote area of the country.
When he learned that Liu Mo was looking for him, he rushed to the local county government office.
But unfortunately, only five of the six prince's seven children survived.
The other two died of illness while living in exile.
Liu Mo received the news and immediately ordered his men to take him back.
Liu Mo must have known about this little trick of coercing the emperor into disobeying his ministers. There was no "orthodox" emperor of the Xia Dynasty in Jizhou City. How could he command the ministers if Liu Mo's name was not upright and his words were unreasonable?
And when Liu Mo took back the new emperor, new problems arose.
After that incident, except for Zhao Da and Zhu Min, Liu Mo almost became what most people call a loner.
His subordinates avoided him intentionally or unintentionally. Even if they had to face Liu Mo, they did so with a certain amount of fear.
Every time when state affairs were discussed, everyone hardly spoke, and Liu Mo alone made the decision.
You know, a big reason why Liu Mo was able to win again and again in the past was because he was united. There are no barriers between soldiers.
Because Liu Mo was born as a commoner, he did not have the airs of a scholar-official or a superior. In most cases, when he discussed action plans with his subordinates, his subordinates were able to express their opinions without reservation.
Liu Mo is also very handy in commanding, and he can control it freely.
But now...
A few days later, the situation began to become tense. The spies reported that the prince's troops had captured three important towns. sky
After the Battle of Fengshan, Liu Mo advanced so smoothly that he was unable to deploy defenses in all cities.
Although Liu Mo led his troops to win consecutive battles and had strong morale, they were completely at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.
After capturing Jizhou, Liu Mo recruited a group of new soldiers. However, due to the hasty formation of the army, the combat effectiveness and cohesion were poor.
In addition to drawing some of the most elite soldiers from them to supplement the main force, Liu Mo only used them as a reserve force, usually used to maintain law and order and fight against thieves.
Although Ayina's Xingluo army had already set off, they had to pass through the prince's territory after all. Before they arrived, Liu Mo had to support himself for a period of time.
The top priority right now is to resolve the conflict between the generals and untie the knot in everyone's minds.
To this end, Liu Mo held another meeting.
After everyone gathered, Liu Mo lowered his voice and said slowly, "I know that after experiencing the battle at Tianfeng Mountain, you all have many opinions on me!
But you must understand that if you are not in your position, you will not do what you want. You will never imagine the pressure of being a coach. "
After these opening remarks, the atmosphere was still dull. Only Lu Sheng's lips wriggled slightly and his eyes rolled around.
"If I don't use the water attack strategy, even if I have the same talent as the famous general who founded the Xia Dynasty. Then, if I command hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the enemy's 400,000 troops. As a result, I will lose 100,000 in battle and annihilate the enemy's 400,000 troops.
I'm just talking about what if, hundreds of thousands vs. four hundred thousand, one hundred thousand died in battle. I would like to ask, is this kind of victory considered a great victory? "
Zhu Min nodded, "On the battlefield, killing 10,000 enemies and losing 3,000 is already a rare achievement. Such a casualty ratio can be said to be a great victory."
"Where are the others? What do they think?"
Everyone nodded, agreeing with this statement.
"In this case, I have annihilated 400,000 enemies at a cost of 100,000. Why can't you accept it? What is the difference between being annihilated by the enemy and being drowned by one's own people?
The former will be recorded in history books and become a military god respected by thousands of people, while the latter will be reviled? Despised by his subordinates?
If you are always worried about me, Liu Mo, because of this matter, then you might as well just surrender to the rebels who came here to fight. Now, I just want to unload my burden as soon as possible and return to Rongcheng to reunite with my family.
certainly...
If you don't want me to live, then cut off my head and offer it to the rebels! "
After saying this, Liu Mo didn't want to waste any more words with everyone, and then he stood up tiredly and planned to leave.
In fact, after the capture of Jizhou, one bad incident after another made Liu Mo breathless and almost destroyed his nerves. There was silence all around, and you could hear a needle drop.
Lu Sheng stood up first, chased after him, and then knelt down with a plop.
"Mr. Liu, I wrongly blamed you. I..." His voice was choked with sobs.
Liu Mo helped him up and stopped what he was going to say next, "Stop talking, Lu Sheng! You will always be my good brother, Liu Mo!"
"Master Liu..." Lu Sheng hesitated, "My damned fake benevolence!"
"It's okay, from now on, we need to unite as one!"
Everyone stood up and said, "Master Liu, we are willing to follow you and do your best for you!"
This time, Liu Mo could tell that they were all sincere.
The ruler and his ministers are of one mind, and their power can cut through gold!
After untying the knot with everyone, I believe that no matter how difficult it is, Liu Mo can't be defeated.
Soon after, good news came again: Tang Qingfeng was back.
Like last time, he brought back a reply from Yang Yizhi: He could basically meet Liu Mo's request, but there was one difference. That is, Liu Mo's Daxia and Zhou Dynasty were not brotherly states, but vassal states.
The Zhou Dynasty was the suzerain state, and Daxia was its vassal state.
Regarding this, Liu Mo nodded happily.
Vassal states were a common political form in ancient China. These vassal states could maintain their own sovereignty, but they had to submit to the suzerain state and accept the title of the suzerain state.
Not only that, but envoys were also sent to visit regularly to report on their duties and pay tribute to the emperor of the suzerain country. Of course, the emperor of the suzerain country will also give some rewards to the vassal country to maintain a bilateral interaction.
Now that the situation is very chaotic and our own strength is very weak, there is really no need to resort to verbal disputes to turn against the Zhou Dynasty.
At the same time, Liu Mo, as a modern time traveler, uses modern technology to carry out construction, and believes that he will soon make Daxia strong and prosperous.
In the past, it was mainly because his status in time travel was too low, and Liu Mo wanted to lie down and not play politics.
Later, we were forced to open for business, and we had to play even if we didn’t want to.
After the two sides reached an agreement, and with Xing Luo's troops, the second prince's one hundred thousand troops were not enough.
After that, the Zhou Dynasty, with Yang Yizhi as its commander, sent troops to conquer the Daxia rebels.
Three months later, the former crown prince of Daxia was defeated and committed suicide, and Daxia returned to unification.
Liu Mozun appointed the eldest son of the six princes as the new emperor of Daxia, and he became the regent, assisting the new emperor of Daxia and handing over the power after he came of age.
During this period, Liu Mo's good friend, LSP He Ruda, suggested that Liu Mo marry the daughter of the late emperor Wei Guang and the aunt of the new emperor of Daxia to consolidate his power.
Liu Mo thought about it for a long time and decided to agree.
Such political marriage is common and necessary.
That winter, as Liu Mo's regime gradually stabilized, he brought his family from Rongcheng to Jizhou, and made his eldest son Liu Yuanzhang the hereditary king with a different surname with the power of regent.
After that, build walls high, accumulate grain widely, develop Daxia, and work steadily and slowly to plan for it.
Whether that world can be unified is left to the imagination of the readers.
