Chapter 324: The Rules of the World
The envoys of Guangjun retreated, and the prefect palace sent a group of golden armored guards to escort the envoys of Guangjun back to their garrisons. So the people were safe all the way and no more eggs and leaves were thrown over.
However, the Lijun court was a big fuss because of the envoy's words.
Some say that Lijungui is the leader of the southwestern Hanzhou, how can we join the Yashui Alliance founded by Guangjun, while others say that taking the great way of the people in the world as a plan, we should not worry about the gains and losses of the name for a while...
Fighting hard.
So Luochuan dispersed the court, and most of the court officials dispersed, leaving only a few important officials to discuss matters for a long time.
After most of the important officials left, Luo Chuan and Zhao Wuji and Dou Qiushi, the two civil and military leaders, went to the harem garden together, and chatted about today's affairs while walking.
"About the Yashui Alliance, neither court nor important officials have analyzed the reason before. You two did not express your opinion easily. Now you can tell me what you think?" Luo Chuan walked in front with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Wuji and Dou Qiushi followed one left and one right, and a little behind. After hearing this, they looked at each other, but Zhao Wuji took the lead in speaking. "Zhang Ziheng said there were three good news to tell the prefect. In fact, they were all talking about the Yashui Alliance. First, the Guangjun navy defeated the Jiangzhou navy head-on in order to demonstrate its unique water combat power in southwestern Hanzhou. Then he proposed that the alliance was named after Yashui. It was because the Ya River connected the five counties of Hanzhou today. The Guangjun navy could go directly to any county without any obstacles, and the shocking meaning was self-evident!"
Zhao Wuji frowned slightly and continued, "Then he mentioned that Yongchang and Anyang counties had entered the alliance, and used the compromise between grain and Liu Feixu as bait. He just wanted to add another bargaining chip to the scale that forced me to leave the county and join the alliance. In my opinion, things were nothing but er, until he said the meeting of heaven and earth..."
He sighed lightly and said, "Everyone in the world says that Wuzhou in the northwest is wild and unruly. Now it seems that there is some truth. The great tripod has been established for nine hundred years. The ones on the mountain have always returned to the mountain and the secular world. Although the relationship between the mountain and the mountain has become somewhat subtle since the passing of Lu Zu, just like the Cangyan Sword Sect in Li County. If it were the case in previous years, the Qixing Zhenren would not have easily gone down the mountain for the sake of the princes. Now he has not only come 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 they all abide by some rules and do not easily cross it. For example, Lijun and Cangyan Sword Sect can be in line with each other. On the one hand, it is a common enemy of the Southern Barbarians, and on the other hand, it depends entirely on the opportunity of the prefect," Zhao Wuji turned his head to look at the lake. The breeze blew, and the water waves gradually rose. "Now, the princes of Wuzhou in the northwest were in the name of Kunlun to attend the heaven and earth conference. It is clear that this layer of window paper is to completely tear apart, moving the mountain up and down into one
The idea, if this move is really feasible, it will be immediately imitated by the world. The pattern of Zhongzhou changes drastically, and the relationship between the original combination of two benefits becomes complicated and unpredictable. The zero agreement may become a piece of paper. The tragic level of the battle between the princes will inevitably double. As time goes by, it is not impossible for people on the mountain to move the ordinary mind, take the princes and replace them, or hide behind the scenes, and actually control them. In this way, the human race will be in chaos...!!"
"I thought so just now, but..." Luo Chuan pointed to the direction of the front palace, then looked at Zhao Wuji and said, "Since the tripod stood in the front hall, I knew that at least the upper level, there was no warm and tacit understanding before. It was already a relationship of unity if it was favorable, and if it was divided, it was divided. Now a meeting of heaven and earth in Wuzhou in the northwest was just to completely tear off this dark curtain and throw the entire upper three realms into the game to make a choice. If Zhongzhou is used as a whole, this will naturally be a shortcut to accelerate the integration of the forces on and down the mountain. Although such an approach will inevitably cause extremely tragic competition and loss within the human race, in the eyes of some people, maybe there is nothing..."
Zhao Wuji frowned and pondered for a moment, nodded, "Now Liuxian has passed away, Baixian is in power. If the news of Guangjun is correct, Kunlun leader Ji Tianyan really attracts the world with his name, then this matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed."
"Guangjun will not joke about this matter. This Baixian Ji Tianyan is probably really thinking about it, but..." Luo Chuan pondered, "Baixian is not Liuxian after all. Now that the two barbarians in the north and south dare to fight bloody battles in Zhongzhou, it means that he must not have the strength to suppress the world by Lu Zu. Since this is the case, there must be other strong people in the human race who will follow his own ideas. It will be completely chaotic..." He frowned slightly, but did not continue to say it, but asked, "So, Uncle Zhao thinks whether I need to join the Na Yashui Alliance in Lijun?"
Zhao Wuji pondered for a while, sighed and nodded. Luo Chuan knew it, and then looked at Dou Qiushi, "What does Uncle Dou think?"
Dou Qiushi thought that he had thought enough and said bluntly, "I also thought that the best choice for Li County at the moment is to join the Nayashui Alliance. Today, Guangjun and Li County each have their own pride to win many cities. However, in the short term, large areas of land and massive population will only become burdens and cannot be turned into advantages. We all need some time to consolidate the foundation. At the same time, the two counties have their own strengths, which can be said to be evenly matched. I am not good at military affairs, but I also know that the superiors will attack the enemy and even attack the enemy. If there is no very good opportunity to fight, forcing the troops to attack or even attack the city, hurting the enemy by one thousand and destroying themselves by eight hundred, it is the choice of the subordinates. I know that the chance of life of the prefect was also fighting for the hundreds of millions of people in the southwest Hanzhou, but... I am quite narrow-minded, and after encountering the situation, I will still put my Li County people first..."
Luo Chuan didn't say anything, just nodded.
Dou Qiushi continued to see it, "And the Guang County Covenant has been considered in detail. For example, the grain supply is 3 million stones per year for me to leave the county, which is one million stone more than the two million stones per year in the past. This number can not only allow us to stabilize our foothold in the Xinde Anling and the Three Warehouses to keep our feet stable, but it will not allow us to store more surplus grain in our treasury. It is obviously a product of careful calculation. At the same time, it is not changed to monthly grain supply according to the previous half-year transfer. It can be seen that his intention to prevent the county from leaving the county is already in the core. Even after this autumn, the dependence on grain supply by the county is no longer too heavy, so that the two sides have engaged in wars, they will at most lose one month of food. At this point, they probably really want to use this covenant to exchange for a year of peace with me. As for the year... the covenant and other things are naturally just empty words."
Luo Chuan nodded again, stopped and looked at the lake with deeper ripples. "Originally, I had thought that there would be such a day, but I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. I was in a whirlpool and couldn't help myself... Now, the rules of the great tripod that have been established for nine hundred years have lost their foundation, and new rules will surely spring up like mushrooms after a rain. Whoever's rules are more in line with the principles on the mountain and the hearts of the people at the foot of the mountain, and whoever's rules will have a bigger stage. I actually understand the principles, but... I'm probably not ready to become the prince who can regard human life as a mustard..."
He looked at the gloomy sky in the distance and murmured, "It's raining...it's time to collect clothes..."
