The Guangjun envoy retreated, and the prefect's palace sent a group of golden-armored guards to escort the Guangjun envoy back to their base. As a result, the journey was uneventful and no common people threw eggs or rotten leaves.
However, there was a huge quarrel in the Lijun court because of what the messenger said.
Some say that Lijun is now the leader of Hanzhou in southwest China, so how can he join the Yashui Alliance established by Guangjun? Others say that considering the great road of all peoples in the world, one should not worry about temporary gains and losses... .
The fight was fierce.
So Luochuan dispersed the court, and most of the courtiers also dispersed, leaving only a few important ministers who discussed matters for a long time.
After most of the important ministers had left, Luo Chuan went to the harem garden with Zhao Wuji and Dou Qiushi, the two civil and military leaders, and walked while chatting about today's events.
"Regarding the Yashui Alliance, neither the court officials nor the important ministers have analyzed the reason before. You two did not express your position easily. Now you can tell me what you think?" Luo Chuan strolled in front with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Wuji and Dou Qiushi followed each other, half a step behind. After hearing this, they looked at each other, and it was Zhao Wuji who spoke first, "Then Zhang Ziheng said he had three pieces of good news to tell the prefect, but in the final analysis, it was all about Naya. The Water Alliance first said that the Guangjun navy defeated the Jiangzhou navy in order to demonstrate its unique water combat power in Hanzhou, southwest China. Then it was proposed that the alliance be named after Yashui because of that Yashui. The river connects the five counties of Hanzhou today, and his navy from Guangjun can reach any county without any hindrance. The intimidation is self-evident!"
Zhao Wuji frowned slightly and continued, "Then he mentioned that Yongchang and Anyang counties have joined the alliance, and offered a compromise on food supply and Liu Feixu as bait. He just wanted to add another piece of the balance to force me to leave the county and join the alliance. Chips, things seem to be just okay so far in my opinion, until he talks about the general meeting of the day and the earth..."
He sighed softly and said, "The world says that Wuzhou in the northwest is wild and unruly. Now it seems that there is some truth in it. For nine hundred years since the founding of the country, Dading has always returned to the mountains and returned to the world. Although it has been said that since the death of Lu Zu The relationship between the people on the mountain and the people below has become a bit subtle, just like the relationship between the Cangyan Sword Sect and Lijun. In the past, Master Qixing would not have gone down the mountain so easily for the sake of the princes, but now he has not only gone down the mountain but also participated in the war!"
"But even so, there is still a layer of window paper between the two sides, and each of them also abides by some rules and does not cross them easily. For example, currently Lijun and Cangyan Sword Sect can keep pace with each other. On the one hand, they are common enemies of Nanyi, and on the other hand, they are the common enemy of Nanyi. On the one hand, it all depends on the prefect's chance." Zhao Wuji turned to look at the lake. The breeze blew and the water gradually rose. "Now the princes of the northwest Wuzhou are holding a heaven and earth meeting in the name of Kunlun. It is clear that they want to use this layer of window paper. Completely torn apart, the idea of unifying the mountains and the mountains into one came up. If this move is really feasible, it will be imitated by the world immediately. The pattern of Central Continent has changed drastically. The original relationship between the mountains and the mountains has become complicated and difficult. As time goes by, if someone on the mountain has a mortal heart, it is not impossible to replace the princes or hide behind the scenes and actually control them. , If so... then the world of the human race will really be in chaos...!!"
"I thought the same thing just now, but..." Luo Chuan pointed in the direction of the front palace, then looked at Zhao Wuji and said, "Ever since the tripod was erected in the front hall, I know that at least the upper level is at the top of the mountain. It seems that there is no longer the warm and tacit understanding that existed before. It has long been a relationship of joining together if it is beneficial, and dividing if it is beneficial. Now, a heaven and earth conference in Wuzhou, northwest, has only completely torn away this shady curtain, and then completely tore up the entire upper world. The strong men of the three realms are all thrown into the game to make choices. If the world of Zhongzhou is taken as a whole, this action can naturally be regarded as a shortcut to accelerate the integration of forces from the mountains and the mountains. Although this approach will inevitably lead to extremely tragic competition and losses within the human race, but in In the eyes of some people, maybe it’s really nothing…”
Zhao Wuji frowned and pondered for a moment before nodding, "Now that Liuxian has passed away and Baixian is in power, if the news from Guang County is correct and Kunlun Master Ji Tianyan really attracts the world with his name, then this matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. ."
"Guang County will not joke about this matter. I'm afraid that the White Immortal Ji Tianyan is really interested, but..." Luo Chuan muttered, "After all, the Bai Immortal is not a Liu Immortal. Now that the Northern and Southern Barbarians are Dare to fight bloody battles in Zhongzhou, which means that he does not have Lu Zu's strength to conquer the world. In this case, there must be other strong men in the human race who will follow their own ideas, and chaos will definitely be complete..." He He frowned slightly, but did not continue but asked, "So, does Uncle Zhao think I, Lijun, need to join the Naya Water Alliance?"
Zhao Wuji thought for a long time, sighed and nodded. Luochuan understood, and then looked at Dou Qiushi, "What do you think, Uncle Dou?"
Dou Qiushi had thought enough and said bluntly, "I also think that the best choice for Lijun at the moment is to join the Naya Water Alliance. Today, Guangjun and Lijun are each proud to capture many cities. The increase in land and massive population will only become a burden and cannot be turned into an advantage. We all need some time to consolidate the foundation. At the same time, the two counties have their own strengths and are evenly matched. I am not good at military affairs, but I also know how to attack with troops. Secondly, if we don’t have an excellent fighter opportunity, we can forcefully attack the troops or even attack the city, injuring one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to ourselves. This is the next best option. I know that the prefect’s slim chance of survival was originally for the hundreds of millions of people in Hanzhou in the southwest. We are fighting over the last name, but... I am quite narrow-minded, and after all, I will put my people in Li County first..."
Luochuan didn't speak, just nodded.
Dou Qiushi saw it in his eyes and continued, "And the Guangjun covenant has been very careful in every detail. For example, the food supply to my county is three million dan per year, which is one million more than the previous two million dan per year." Stone, this number can not only allow us in the Xindian Mausoleum and Sancang Land to stabilize our feet, but will not leave too much surplus food in our treasury. It is obviously the product of careful calculation. At the same time, it is not the same as in the past six months. As soon as the payment was changed to monthly food supply, it can be seen that they are deeply concerned about Li County's prevention. Even if Li County no longer relies too much on food supply after this autumn, and the two sides turn against each other and start a war, they will not lose anything at most. One month of food and grass, he is planning to this point, he probably really wants to use this covenant to exchange for one year of peace with me in Li County. As for next year... the covenant and the like are naturally just a piece of paper."
Luo Chuan nodded to himself again, stopped and looked at the gradually deepening ripples of the lake, "Originally, I had thought that there would be such a day, but I didn't expect that this day would come so fast. I was really in a whirlpool. I can't help myself... Nowadays, the rules that have been established for 900 years have lost their foundation. New rules are bound to spring up like mushrooms after a rain. Whose rules are more in line with the principles on the mountain and the hearts of the people below? The rules have a bigger stage, and I actually understand the truth, but... I'm probably not ready to become the prince who can treat human life as nothing..."
He looked at the gloomy sky in the distance and murmured, "It's going to rain...it's time to put away the clothes..."
