Chapter 316 Haotian’s Willfulness [Unlocking the Ban]
Luo Xiang had never argued with Haotian in such a sharp manner, and Xin Jiao had never seen Luo Xiang speak in such a sharp and mean manner. Seeing the confrontation between the two with big eyes and small eyes, Xin Jiao had no idea what to do.
. Carefully filled up the tea for both of them, but neither of them was interested in drinking water at all.
"By doing this, you not only let down the hopes of the 16 million people on Hetao Road 3, but also let down the tens of millions of people in the empire. You also let down the teachings of your mother and father." Luo Xiang said gloomily.
Face said: "In the past, I didn't stop you, because we had less than 200,000 troops in front of us, and the leaders of the army, Jin Zongwu and Watanabe Shimomo, were mediocre. Besides, there was a lot of food in Xuzhou City, and we had plenty of time.
."
"But look now, in front of us are 350,000 elite members of the Paradise Alliance, led by Cassimbas, the first general outside the Great Wall. Two days have passed now, and we still have five to seven days at most.
.But in just a few days, I don’t have the confidence to rescue people from the encirclement of Cassimbas. My lord, are you thinking about the Battle of Hukou back then? How tragic it was. Even if the Blood Commander and
The 100,000-strong army led by the leader can arrive on the battlefield on time, but they are exhausted and can only exert 70% of their combat effectiveness at most. Lord, we should think about it carefully."
Seeing that Haotian was still silent, Xin Jiao mustered up his courage and said, "Husband, I think what you said makes sense. Although I am not familiar with military affairs, I understand that in this situation, we are just doing useless work."
Haotian turned around in surprise, looked at Xin Jiao with his head lowered, and said, "You think so too?"
"Yes." Xin Jiao nodded: "I just feel that the lives of the people in Tiandu Shengjing, except for the princes and nobles, cannot be compared with the people of Hetao. Moreover, if you insist on your so-called loyalty,
But the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of civilians were ignored. I think that is wrong."
Haotian slowly picked up the tea cup, obviously absent-minded, and he swallowed all the tea leaves into his mouth without noticing.
"Is the so-called loyalty really that important? My lord, you don't care about these people who are in vain. You think that you are saving the people of the world by helping the empire to revive Qingfeng, but the people of the world don't think so. It should be continued
They will surely suffer. If this continues, the world will fall into a situation where the four families of Liu, Li, Song, Zhang, and the Three Kingdoms of the Northeast and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty of the Holy Sect of Paradise will fight endlessly. The Jinhua Mitsukoshi in the south, the Sashan Dynasty in the west, and the nomadic peoples in the northwest
You will also get involved. In that case, the world will only be in the chaotic situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. You want to serve the people, but in doing so, you will only harm the people of the world."
Haotian let out a long breath. He knew very well the mentality of his generals. Apart from him and Tianyi, the desire to become emperor and build a country had already permeated the entire Hetao Road. Seeing that Luo Xiang and Xin Jiao were still preparing to speak, Haotian tried his best to
He waved his hand and said, "Stop talking, I know it myself."
He stood up suddenly, opened his clothes forcefully, walked to the window to get some fresh air, and then Haotian said: "As a minister of the empire and a citizen of the dynasty, I, Haotian, should do something."
No. I understand what you mean, but I also have my own position."
With a wry smile, Haotian shook his head and said: "I never thought that one day I would make such a choice between the country and the people. I also never thought that I would actually go to the Hetao million
The opposite of the people.”
Luo Xiang finally showed a smile on his face: "Lord, you should understand one thing. We love our nation, but we do not necessarily love our court. We are loyal to our people, but we do not
You don’t have to be loyal to the royal family.”
Xin Jiaoruo realized something, but Haotian smiled slightly, turned to look at Luo Xiang, and said in a sincere tone: "Sir, this time I will fight no matter what. Not for the empire, but for the people of Qingfeng
My duty is to let me act willfully once, no matter what the outcome is this time."
Luo Xiang's eyes flashed: "Do you want to make a break with the past?"
"Not just me, but also the 18 million people on the Three Roads of Hetao and the Blood Plateau. I hope this is the last time to be loyal to the empire. From now on, the Hetao and the imperial court will each go their own way, and no one will
I owe nothing to anyone. I will also follow your wishes and stand in the position of the people of the world when considering issues. Sir, this is the last time."
The Hetao army finally went north. When Dugu Yuming from the rear kicked the last Hetao soldier on the way north, Cheng Guochiduman, the leader of the five tribes in southern Yunnan and the deputy commander of the Southern Army came to see him off.
It was a melancholy sigh. The moon was shining crookedly on Kyushu, some people were happy and some were sad. This was probably the true thoughts of a few people.
Cheng Guochi let out a long sigh. Originally, Mr. Ouyang Jingzhong was planning to come in person. However, he had many things to do, and the Xijiang defense line really couldn't leave. Once the Hetao army left, the pressure from the Southern Military Region increased.
To make it a little bigger, when Xue Sha and Dugu were stationed in Jingzhou, not only the five tribes in southern Yunnan did not dare to make trouble, but even the Golden Flower Dynasty honestly retracted their claws. Because of this, Ouyang Jingzhong was able to
The Dahu Road was guarded as solidly as a rock. Now that the Loop is gone and the power of the Yizhou Song family has slowly filled in, no one can tell how the relationship between the two parties will be adjusted.
Shui Zheng's face was uncertain. With the departure of the Hetao army, the Keshui people have regained the autonomy they had lost for a whole year, but accordingly, they must also take on their own defense issues. After all, what is the difference between them and the four southern Yunnan tribes?
Shui Zheng himself didn't think clearly whether he was collaborating with the clan, whether he was collaborating with Jin Huaxu, or whether he was retreating to the east bank of the Xijiang River.
The Shan and Jing people had long hoped that the Hetao army would leave. Over the course of a year, the combat effectiveness of the Hetao army had been fully demonstrated. Moreover, their blood-killing skills and Dugu's bloodlust also left them with
It left a deep impression on him. Not to mention anything else, just at the farewell banquet, Dugu killed more than 300 people of the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan who had an unclear relationship with Jinhua. Although he filled the Hetao
The Song family with a vacant army is not a good thing, but when they confront the Jinhua Dynasty, the five tribes in southern Yunnan can at least have a drink of soup.
Song Yuanning, the envoy of the Song family, finally relaxed his brows. In order to smoothly take over the control of the five tribes in southern Yunnan from the Hetao, the Song family paid a price of three million dans of grain. Although the Song family's response on the South Yunnan Road
A hundred thousand troops gathered in Yizhou and Yizhou, but because of Dugu Yuming's reputation, no one dared to cross the boundary between Yingyi and Yizhou without authorization. Fortunately, Xueshan sent an envoy in time, and the two parties finally reached an agreement. No, Hetao
As soon as the army left, the Song family's army began to march into the central and southern regions of southern Yunnan.
Now the situation on Jiangnan Third Road is very complicated. Dahu Road is still Ouyang Jingzhong's territory. He controls 200,000 elite troops, has the most fertile land, sufficient food and unparalleled prestige. Ouyang Jingzhong's position on Dahu Road is stable.
Like a rock. However, the only main grain producing area in the empire is Dahu Road. Although there are more than 10 million people, Ouyang Jingzhong has to devote all his labor force to farming. Otherwise, with Dahu Road,
With the human resources, we can still form at least 200,000 troops.
Jiangnan Road is now empty. Due to the ravages of the Holy Sect of Paradise and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty, Jiangnan Road has been deserted for thousands of miles. After the Holy Sect of Paradise went north, Jiangnan Road became a vacuum zone. Chu Yue wanted to go north to Jiangnan.
However, it was blocked south of the Xijiang River by Liu Bi's Jiaolong Navy. Ouyang Jingzhong and Zhang Cangxiong could only protect themselves now and were unable to fill the Jiangnan Road with their forces. Although the Li family of Qinchuan and the Song family of Yizhou had this
strength, but Jiangnan Road is not adjacent to their territory, and it is just a lone army. Therefore, Jiangnan Road can only accept it.
The situation on the South Yunnan Road is even more complicated. The Song family originally occupied Yingyi Prefecture in the north, and now with the cooperation of Hetao, it has gradually extended its power to the Jingzhou area in the south. In order to stabilize the situation in South Yunnan, the Song family has invested a lot
We have 100,000 troops, and the Bai'er Army is in the southern area of Yizhou Road, ready to enter southern Yunnan at any time. However, there are no weaklings among the five tribes in southern Yunnan. The total strength of the five families exceeds 300,000, and there is also the Jin Dynasty in the south.
Hua Dynasty, so the situation in southern Yunnan is already at the forefront of turmoil.
"Dugu Shuai, once we leave, we don't know when we will be able to come back." Xue Sha sighed and said to Dugu beside him.
Dugu shrugged his shoulders: "It doesn't matter, five years at most. What's ours is ours after all, and no one can take it away."
Xue Sha smiled faintly: "Now, among the five tribes in southern Yunnan, including the Keshui tribe, no one has a good impression of us."
Dugu said disdainfully: "So what? Can they still bite us? If it weren't for the urgent situation now, just because they colluded with foreign races to seek self-reliance, we should completely exterminate them. Kill hundreds of their spies, that's it.
If we give them a warning, if they continue to do tricks like this, then we can just wipe them off the map. Country bumpkins who have never been out of the mountains and have seen the world actually dare to challenge us in the Hetao.
"
After the bloody massacre taught the Shan people a lesson, the five southern Yunnan ethnic groups appeared to be much more honest on the surface. However, as the situation in the empire deteriorated, the restless hearts of the five southern Yunnan ethnic groups became active again. The four Shan ethnic groups and
The exchanges between the Jinhua Dynasty are getting closer and closer. Although the Keshui tribe is wary of the threat of the Hetao, the collusion between Shui Yao and Pu Zhicheng remains uninterrupted.
Naturally, these things could not be hidden from the eyes of the two blood killers. The two originally had the idea of taking a long-term view to catch big fish. As a result, with their indulgence, many big shots did jump out. Like the Keshui tribe.
Shuiyao of the Shan ethnic group, Breton of the Shan ethnic group, Su Dushan of the Jing ethnic group and others. With the cooperation of Soul Eater, Xue Sha quietly captured these people using various means, and then killed them in southern Yunnan.
At the farewell banquet held by various forces for Hetao, all these people were killed. Even if Shui Zheng and others begged for mercy in person, they ignored the bloody killing. However, the fighting power of Hetao's army was too strong, so Shui Zheng and others
