Chapter 620

"Sure enough, it's Lu's style of acting, which unconsciously makes the enemy like a fish in the net. It's a pity that Lu's father and son are so talented, but they didn't live in Dali. Yu Yuanxu is so lucky." Staring at the map for a while, Li Yong slowly closed his eyes and murmured.

Wei Shangyong sighed. During the reign of Hongxi in Daqian, from Lu Chun at the beginning to Lu que now, the two generations of famous generals put too much pressure on Daqian's neighboring countries. At that time, Lu Chun wiped out the invincible Qingyang Empire, which shocked all the neighboring countries. They sent envoys to Daqian, including Nanli and Tianxing, It wasn't until Lu Chun disappeared more than ten years ago that the neighboring countries took a breath, and it was only after that that that Nanli started the reform without any distractions.

Now Lu que is no worse than his father. At the age of 15, he set up a bureau to encircle and annihilate the most powerful lion army in Tianxing. At the age of 16, he entered daqianwaige to arrange the battle of Tianxing. At the age of 17, he personally took charge of the battle and smashed the tide of animals that made people sad. Now hundreds of thousands of people are going south, which makes Nanli all panic.

In Wei Shangyong's opinion, Lu que was more difficult to deal with than his father Lu Chun. Lu Chun was strong with weak attack and showed his heroism at that time, while Lu que was weak with strong attack and laid out with great national strength and military strength as the basis. He had the upper hand before the war started. This time, he defended the army in the right way and suppressed people with the general trend, making people more at a loss. Because he is no surprise and no risk, you can't find his flaws. Even if Nanli wants to fight against him with all his chips, it depends on Lu Que's mood. Otherwise, he won't fight, and no one can help him.

It's extremely difficult to face such an enemy who hardly makes mistakes. Now, Lu qiaoqin and his army are marching forward step by step. They are sending partial divisions to the direction of Tianxing to push Nanli's hinterland. With such obvious resourcefulness, they seem to let Nanli choose how to fight this battle, but in fact they don't leave Nanli any choice.

Because if Nanli does not choose to withdraw his troops and return home, the empty country will not be able to stop the advance of the Daqian army. If he chooses to wave his troops, then the north of Ningan river will return to Lu Que's hands, and he will hold all the opportunities in the battlefield. At that time, it seems that the two countries are facing each other across the river. The great trunk of the Ning'an River graben and Nanli share the same situation. But the fact is that Lu que can choose to cross the river at any place in the long Ning'an River Basin and attack Nanli. The troops from the South can't be foolproof.

"Wei Qing, you are an all-round military and political expert. In the face of such a situation, you can find a way to solve it." After a long time, Nanli Wang Liyong opened his eyes first and looked at Wei Shangyong, who looked down and pondered.

"My Lord, for the sake of today's plan, we can only divide our forces and defend." After a long silence, Wei Shang said.

"Divide?" Li Yongxian was stunned. He frowned tightly and said, "you know, the troops here are all our family now. There are only 30000 elite troops in our country, and the rest are the old and weak. Lu que can use the two armies of Da Qian from the hometown of Tianxing, with more than 200000 troops. If you want to face such a large number of enemies, you must have fewer troops, We can't pull out more than 100000 or 200000 troops to go back to China. Isn't it a joke for us to wait here for the arrival of the army

"My Lord, I don't mean to withdraw my troops from here and return home." Wei Shangyong's face was a little dark, and he shook his head and said, "Wang Shang, there are no troops in China, but these troops are not in the hands of Wang Shang."

Li Yongxian was stunned, then looked at Wei Shangyong and asked, "do you mean the private soldiers of the clan?"

"Yes." Wei Shangyong nodded a little difficultly and said, "my Lord, although we have collected some private soldiers of the clan for more than ten years after the reform, this is only limited to several counties around the capital. In the south where the clan is powerful, although most of the private soldiers of the clan have been demobilized on the surface and let them return to the land for farming, this is just a temporary measure of the clan, as long as they want to, Each family can pull up tens of thousands of troops in a short time, which is what we have been afraid of. Now that the state is like this, we can make appropriate compromise with the southern clans and let them resist the army of Da Qian for us. "

"Wei Qing, you and I have been fighting with these clans for more than ten years. It's hard to see some light. Do you want me to compromise with them at this time?" Li Yongxian frowned more tightly, but his tone did not completely deny Wei Shangyong's proposal.

"My Lord, this time is another time." Wei Shangyong looked at Li Yongxian's face and exhorted, "before, Da Qian's main energy was in the north, and we had an alliance with Tianxing. Although we didn't make enough progress, we could at least protect ourselves. If we want to reform, we naturally need to take the domestic clans and take back the land, population and taxes from them. But now the stars are gone, and the seven great armies of Da Qian are gathering in southern Xinjiang. Our family and country are in danger of toppling at any time. If we don't understand the clan any more, I'm afraid that when Da Qian's army enters the border, it will be the day of our Southern extinction. "

Li Yongxian looks at Wei Shangyong with a complicated look. He naturally understands how unwilling Wei Shangyong, who is the Minister of Nanli political reform, is when he says these words, because it means that all his efforts for more than ten years have been wasted. Even if Nanli can survive this crisis, everything will start again.

However, he had to admit that Wei Shangyong was right. If he wanted to fight against Lu que, he had to rely on the help of the clan. Otherwise, only the 300000 troops of the camp on the North Bank of the Ning'an river could not stop Lu Que's army. If we divide our troops, we will be defeated by each other. If we don't divide our troops, we will be trapped here by Lu que. We can't help but watch the big army and Fengxiang Army take Nanli's territory a little bit.

However, the relationship between the Nanli royal family and the southern clan has already reached the freezing point. From the passivity of those Southern clans in the early stage of the political reform, to the mutual collusion and refusal to accept orders, they almost did not raise the Rebel Flag to support the soldiers and stand on their own. Now, it is no longer the problem that he and Wei Shang are willing to agree with the clan, It's a question of whether the clans who are afraid of the royal family will take orders.

Thinking of this, Li Yong first asked, "the conflict between the royal family and the clan has not been resolved for more than ten years. Will the southern clan really follow their orders?"

"My Lord, the Daqian system is more strict than our Nanli system. It is almost impossible for a family of Daqian to have such land, mineral resources and serfs. The seven counties in the south of Tianxing were the first places occupied by Daqian. After more than half a year's administration, the rich families in the seven counties almost lost most of their families and became small families. Moreover, after the fall of Tianxing, this decree has been implemented throughout the territory of the original Tianxing. This is the attitude of the Daqian Dynasty towards the new land. It is impossible for the southern clans not to know about it. They will weigh the pros and cons themselves. "

"It took Daqian a few months to do what Tianxing king did not dare to do. To tell you the truth, I really want the five southern counties to fall into Daqian's hands. Then I'll see how these clans against me struggle under Daqian's rule." Li Yongxian some hate said.

To tell you the truth, Li Yong hated those stubborn and self-defense clans in the south. If they did not exist, the reform process of Nanli would be greatly accelerated. Even if he could not compete with Daqian, he could rely on Ningan River to protect himself. He and his Nanli would not have to face such a crisis.

But reason told him that he couldn't do it. Nanli was not Tianxing. Tianxing lost seven southern counties, and there was a river. Yanxiong city could be used as a strategic fulcrum, and there was a big river to defend. If Nanli lost five southern counties, there would be no danger to defend. Daqian's army could directly reach the capital of the king and destroy the 800 year rule of the Li family.

"No, my Lord." Wei Shangyong was shocked when he heard that, although he was also extremely resentful of the southern clans, it was not the time to abandon them. Once the five southern counties were lost, Nanli would never have a chance to turn over. With the layout and calculation of the land shortage, the army of Da Qian would devour the whole Nanli.

"I don't know. I'm just talking about it." Li Yong rubbed his eyebrows first and said wearily, "but if I want to compromise with them, I won't do it. You write directly to those clans, in which you say that they are powerful. As for how they choose, it's up to them. "

"But what if they choose to join Daqian?" Wei Shang Yong Wen Yan some worry said.

"No way." Li Yongxian shook his head and said, "they only act for the benefit of the family. Even they dare to disobey the orders of the king. How can they be willing to devote themselves to Da Qian? What can Da Qian give them? Is it the Marquis's empty duty, or the tax of a city? Do you think these families will value this? Our reform policy has been very lenient to them, and they can't accept it. How can they accept the big dry? "

"The king is wise." Wei Shangyong brightened his eyes and said, "however, I think we should take out appropriate chips to reassure them and let them work for the country willingly."

"Simple." Li Yongxian's eyes flashed a trace of jingmang and said, "isn't Da Qian a hereditary Duke who can rest with him, as long as the southern clan can defeat Da Qian's partial master and make the country safe. Those who have made great contributions will be granted the title of monarch, and let them break the soil and seal the territory to become the kingdom of the state. "

"Wang Shang ~" Wei Shang Yong suddenly raised his head. He didn't expect that Li Yongxian would pay such a high price.

Just when Wei Shangyong wanted to persuade him, he was stopped by Li Yongxian. Li Yongxian said, "Wei Qing, for the sake of Dali, I can even destroy the imperial seal and the great tripod of national fortune, and I'm not short of a few kings. Besides, it's a place of expediency, and I can take back what I gave you."

Wei Shangyong hesitated and said, "but for such a big event, only a micro minister can't win the trust of the southern clan, and it still needs the imperial edict. But as soon as the king's decree is issued, there will be no change. If you go back later, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the king? "

"Fame?" Li Yongxian shook his head with a wry smile. "If we can't get through this difficulty, I'm the king of subjugation, and where's my reputation. As long as it can survive, it's nothing to be famous. "

Wei Shangyong's heart trembled when he heard that Li was the wisest and wisest king in Nanli over a hundred years old, but he was also the most unlucky monarch. In Wei Shangyong's heart, God treated Li unfairly.

After a little relief, Wei Shangyong admonished him, "don't be so discouraged. We must be far away for thousands of years. This disaster is just a test of God's coming. We Dali have not experienced such a crisis before, but they all survived one by one. The king needs to cheer up. "

Li Yongxian said with a bitter smile, "it's not too late. You should draft a letter first. I'll send it to you tomorrow. You can send it to the south."

"No, I'll leave." After many years of friendship, Wei Shangyong knew that Li Yong wanted to be quiet by himself, so he quickly gave a courtesy and left.

"Did I really do something wrong?" When Wei Shangyong left, Li Yong stroked the wooden box with Nanli Wang Jinyin in front of him and murmured.

At the beginning, he smashed the great tripod of national fortune with the jade seal passed down from the Dali Dynasty, making the animal tide leaving xiyuanze more than double, in order to let the animal tide go to Daqian for trouble and make Daqian worry about himself, so that he can gain breathing time.

However, only a few months have passed. The animal tides in the north have been completely wiped out by Lu que, and some of the remnants are now in the South Valley of Ning'an. Although the number is still considerable, the loss of the beast king and a large number of strange and fierce beasts has made no difference. As long as they are not allowed to leave the South Valley, they will not pose a threat.

He did not hesitate to destroy the movement of leaving the country in the south, which affected the operation of the heaven and earth forbidden and sealed array outside xiyuanze, and doubled the prestige of the beast tide. But everything didn't go according to his expectation, or the appearance of Lu que destroyed his previous plan. Now Nanli has to face the army of Lu Que and the biased division in the direction of Tianxing.

Li Yongxian was very clear that Nanli was really at the critical moment of life and death, which made him think of an old saying, that is, if the national fortune was destroyed, the country would be destroyed. Now Nanli's national fortune has been destroyed, he didn't know whether her Nanli would be destroyed under the iron feet of Da Qian, as the legend says.

However, he was not reconciled. Nanli, where he succeeded to the throne, had just suffered a disastrous defeat. Half of the troops in the country were slaughtered by Bai Yi outside zhennanguan. He had to face the growing clan in the country, so he had to start reform. But now it seems that what he has done in the past ten years is useless. In the face of Daqian's national strength and military strength, the country he has devoted himself to developing for more than ten years appears to be so weak that Lu is so weak that he is not even given a chance to fight a decisive battle, but he has no choice.

After looking at the map for a while, Li Yongxian seems to have made up his mind. He grits his teeth and says, "Lu que, Da Qian, hum, there are so many secrets in this world that you don't know. Even if Nan Li can't survive, Da Qian has to pay a price to get Nan Li's land."
