"What's going on over there with Li Xiaomo?" Haotian asked calmly.
"Great victory! Li Xiaomo ambushed the allied forces of the four southern Yunnan tribes who took the initiative to attack in Nanping, the original settlement of the Keshui Tribe. Gua Cha, the chief of the Dufeng Tribe, and Shu Fenghua, the chief of the Jing Tribe, died on the spot." Luo Xiang exclaimed while holding the battle report.
: "Li Xiaomo deserves to be one of the top ten heroes of China. He is almost impeccable in arranging troops and luring the enemy deep. With a fire, he easily burned most of the 200,000-strong allied army of the four southern Yunnan tribes. Now he is leading the army.
Sweep across Jingzhou and Cuizhou, prepare to open up the connection with Mushan in the north, and then go west together to wipe out the most powerful Tan tribe."
Glancing at Haotian, Luo Xiang continued: "However, Li Xiaomo and Chu Lianfeng were not very careful when they destroyed the four southern Yunnan tribes. According to Soul Eater's secret report, they have been making steady progress these days.
They set fire to the mountains, but the harvest is not rich."
Haotian's expression remained unchanged: "Oh, how did they explain it?"
"Southern Yunnan is close to the Bloody Plateau, and the trees are lush and difficult to burn. In addition, the mountains are high and the forests are deep, so it is not conducive to killing."
Haotian looked at Luo Xiang's gloomy face and suddenly smiled: "I wonder what you have to propose, sir?"
"The depths of the dense forest are indeed not conducive to large army operations, but they are suitable for small groups of elite raids." Luo Xiang said with a sullen face: "Our military has not paid attention to the tempering of such elite teams before, so this is indeed a good opportunity for us.
A weakness. However, the disciples of the great martial arts sects such as Yaochi Jade Palace, Yanyu Ninghua Palace and Mingjian Villa are the best at such tasks. Otherwise, give Sheng Lanxin and others an order to lead them immediately
Our disciples came to southern Yunnan."
Draw money from the bottom of the cauldron or kill someone with a borrowed knife? Haotian smiled, he knew Luo Xiang's thoughts very well. Although Tiandu Shengjing is controlled by Hetao, these martial arts sects still have the strength to follow the strong. Although they dare not openly provoke
The authority of the Hetao, but who knows if some unpleasant things will happen in the future? Therefore, mobilizing them to southern Yunnan and Lingnan can not only drain their strength in the Tiandu Shengjing area, but also use the knife to kill people. It is indeed a very good idea.
Good choice.
"Sir, the people in the Jianghu, I hope they can be passionate and heroic instead of cold-blooded. After all, the people in the Jianghu are not the army. They do not have the strict discipline of the army, nor do they have such persistent beliefs. Our soldiers, after withdrawing from the battlefield, will soon
Their roles can be changed quickly. But people in the world are different. After they get used to this cold-blooded life, can they go back to the past?" Haotian shook his head.
Luo Xiang was silent, what Haotian said made sense. People in the world are also human beings, no matter what Bai Dao said: "There are benevolent people who save people from disaster, cheer people up but don't support them; if you don't believe it and don't repeat your words, then the righteous person will be rewarded."
"Yan", or the underworld's propaganda of "with a long sword in hand, grudges as you please, kill one in ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles", are just slogans. Under this slogan, they can do what they want to do righteously
matter.
However, this slogan is indeed very effective. At least they still have their own beliefs and they rarely attack ordinary people. However, when these people in the world got used to killing people in the jungles of southern Yunnan and Lingnan, they
Will they still stick to their beliefs as always? Will they habitually swing their butcher knives at everyone they dislike?
"Then how will the lord prepare to respond?" Luo Xiang asked tentatively.
"The four tribes in southern Yunnan are now severely weakened. With Li Xiaomo leading the army, they will eventually be unable to escape destruction. Let the two legions of Li Xiaomo and Chu Lianfeng be stationed in southern Yunnan. The four tribes in southern Yunnan must be uprooted before the end of the year."
"But so what if they excuse themselves?"
"It's as simple as when they will be cleared and when they will leave." Haotian said lightly: "The same goes for the Dingnan Army and the Yellow Turban Army. If they want to do their job without doing their best, then let them stay here.
Come on."
Luo Xiang made some calculations and felt that there was nothing he could do about it. Unlike the eastern and Mitsukoshi areas, the western Jinhua area had relatively even precipitation, and it originated from the Bloody Plateau and flowed through southern Yunnan and finally into the sea.
There are a lot of them, so it is very troublesome to burn the mountains all the way. The Hetao army is admittedly elite, but if it gets stuck here, it will not only delay the strategy outside the Great Wall, but also seriously affect the Hetao's control of the empire.
"Sir, don't worry too much. South of the river, all clowns are clowns, and they won't be able to clown for long." Haotian suddenly said inexplicably.
Luo Xiang was shocked, but a smile appeared on his face: "What my lord said is absolutely true, our real powerful enemy is still outside the Great Wall."
Haotian did not speak, but looked at the charred mountains and forests outside the window, and said with emotion: "If we use this fire, these forests that have grown for thousands of years will be destroyed. It is really unbearable."
"In order to reduce the losses of the soldiers, there is nothing we can do." Luo Xiang moved his position and said.
Now Luo Xiang is accompanying Haotian to the Forest of Death. With Pu Zhicheng and his 100,000 elites dead, there is no suspense about the war in Green Green City. With the mysterious blood killing and the presence of Dugu and three people, even if the Golden Flower Kingdom still has the power to reach the sky,
It is difficult to escape the situation of country subjugation and annihilation.
The reason why Haotian wanted to go to the Death Forest was not only to see where his wife grew up, but also to inspect his own land. The emperor who unified China would often promote his ownership of this land in this way,
Haotian is no exception. Of course, the meaning of accompanying several wives to visit the scenic spots in China is also very strong.
However, in addition to this, there is another reason. The envoy of King Asoka of the Maurya Dynasty has bypassed the Forest of Death by boat and landed southwest of Jinhua. He came specifically to pay homage to the unique ruler of the Chinese Empire.
Like the Chinese Empire, the Mauryan Dynasty was also an ancient civilization with a long history.
The terrain of the Maurya Dynasty is like an inverted triangle. To the north is the bloody plateau of China, which is said to be difficult for birds to cross. To the northeast is the Forest of Death, one of the seven secret places in China, and to the northwest is the Sea of Death Desert, which can rival the Western Regions.
It is comparable to the Great Desert of Qatar. Such a superior geographical environment has made the Mauryan Dynasty rarely invaded by foreign enemies for thousands of years. And it is precisely because of such a comfortable environment that the folk customs of the Mauryan Dynasty are quite weak.
Someone once commented on this ancient civilization that created an incomparably glorious culture: Their people can produce the best farmers, the most romantic poets, the most cunning businessmen, and the most greedy officials, but they do not have the most elite warriors. Indeed.
In this way, even when the Maurya Dynasty was at its most powerful, their army never set foot out of this ancient country. Moreover, this ancient dynasty had an incomprehensible habit, that is, it was very accustomed to division. Throughout the Maurya Dynasty
At least half of its thousand-year history was spent in division. Even when their royal power was at its peak, the local princes in their country also had great power.
The current Mauryan Dynasty is during the reign of King Ashoka, who is one of the rare British masters of the Mauryan Dynasty. With his efforts, the royal family, which had been weakened and was almost replaced by other forces, gradually restored its original glory.
, it took a full fifteen years for the heroic and capable King Asoka to finally establish an elite forbidden army of his own and control the royal capital and the northwest region of the empire.
Even Ashoka's enemies had to admit that he was a monarch with a very strategic vision. After gradually establishing his authority, Ashoka ignored the opposition of his ministers and generals and stationed the most elite imperial troops in Qatar in the northwest.
On the edge of the Great Desert, it is precisely because of this that although the Sashan Dynasty relied on its powerful military power and crazy religious theories, their power has never spread beyond the Great Desert.
King Asoka knew very well that with the help of local princes in the country, although they could support themselves with troops and plot evil, they could not threaten his own safety at all. But Sashan was different. The desire for expansion of this religious empire was too strong, and
Their theories also have unparalleled allure. Once the other party's power spreads to the kingdom, it will definitely shake the rule of the Maurya Dynasty. Therefore, King Ashoka resolutely gave up the idea of pacifying the princes in the country first and sent his most elite soldiers to the throne.
Mobilized to the edge of the desert to block Sashan's expansion.
"King Asoka, this person is far-sighted, extremely resourceful, cunning and strategic. He is a typical ambitious person. This person covets our kingdom no less than Achilles. Before he succeeded to the throne, it was said that
He had studied in the Tibetan Academy of the Qingfeng Empire for five years, so he had a good understanding of the customs and customs of China. This man made a big statement at that time, claiming that after inheriting the throne and unifying the Maurya Dynasty, he would definitely raise a million-strong army.
Destroy China." Luo Xiang sorted it out in his mind and said.
Haotian's eyebrows furrowed. If it weren't for the decline of the Mauryan royal family, this Ashoka would be another Acharius, even more terrifying than Acharius. Because the geographical location of the Mauryan Dynasty destined them to be difficult
Being invaded by foreign enemies, and having traveled in the empire for many years, he must have made in-depth research on the situation in the empire and the psychology of the Chinese nation.
"The wealth of the Maurya Dynasty is not inferior to that of our country, and their folk customs are weak, and they have always admired our country. As long as they can conquer this place with strong force, they can use force to intimidate them, use force to cooperate with them, and transform them into
Wen, we will definitely be able to overwhelm it." Luo Xiang's eyes flickered. If you want to conquer a country or nation, conquering by force is always the lowest level. Of course, this is the prerequisite and necessary means to conquer the other party. But other than this
In addition, we also need to unite with them for benefit, transform them into culture, and integrate them into clans. However, although the Mauryan Dynasty has only one-third of the land area of China, its population is close to half of China's. If it wants to blend into clans, it is not
It's an easy task. Unless you kill most of them first.
Luo Xiang, like the generals of the Hetao military, are extremely passionate about foreign expansion. Under the influence of Haotian, they really have no feeling about the civil war. In addition to revenge, the most important thing is to unify China.
After all, the economic, cultural and political center of the Chinese Empire is south of the river. Therefore, when fighting foreign wars, if we can get a steady stream of supplies from the Jianghuai region
and manpower support, then the external expansion of the Loop will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
The area outside the Great Wall must be wiped out, Sashan must be destroyed, and the Western Region must be recovered. But in addition, Luo Xiang's eyes have fallen on the Mauryan Dynasty. This country has a serious tradition of division, and its national power is declining.
A country that is extremely rich. With the current situation of the Maurya Dynasty, the Hetao army only needs to drive down Luoshe Road, and then the navy bypasses the Death Forest and lands on the east coast of the Maurya Dynasty. If it cannot completely conquer it, at least it can
Can take half of the land.
"Sir, you are wrong." Haotian suddenly said slowly and leisurely: "Whether we are conquering the Eastern Japanese or the Southern Jinhua Mitsukoshi, or the upcoming wars beyond the Great Wall and in the Central Continent, we are all here to avenge our hatred and promote our country.
To restore my dignity, not to invade foreign countries. Over the years, a big reason why we have been able to win every battle is that in our own hearts, we are always just. We are for revenge and to reorganize China.
Glory.”
Looking at the bare mountains outside the window, Haotian said: "However, when we take the initiative to invade other countries, we will have a psychological deviation. The other country has not provoked us and has no grudge against us. We have no reason to bully the weak. If it is just
Because they are rich and weak, we should take advantage of them and make a fortune. So what is the difference between our behavior and the original aliens outside the Great Wall? We must be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth."
Xin Jiao and others sitting next to Haotian suddenly raised their eyebrows. This man is indeed different from most men in the world.
Since the road to the Death Forest was not wide and the Qingyun was too big, it was left near Green Green City. Haotian and others changed to a smaller carriage and wandered along the way.
Walking slowly.
Although Luo Xiang also understood what Haotian meant, he said unconvinced: "My lord, King Ashoka covets my kingdom. As long as he is given a chance, he will definitely send troops to our kingdom. I'm afraid there will be another Ajia by then."
Lord Lius, the civilization of the Mauryan Dynasty is not far behind our China. Once such a dynasty is unified and then fully confronts our China, we will inevitably add a lot of trouble. Moreover, even when the royal family declines,
Even though Sashan was ready to invade at any time, Ashoka still did not give up on infiltrating our country."
King Ashoka is indeed a king with great talent, strategy and far-sightedness. From the moment he ascended the throne, he has arranged for people to infiltrate into the interior of China. Unfortunately, his power was limited at the time, so over the years he has only been in Luosue, southern Yunnan and Jinhua areas.
There has been some development, but what is even more tragic is that Luoxue surrendered to the Hetao, while the four tribes in southern Yunnan and the Jinhua Dynasty faced annihilation by the Hetao. Therefore, King Ashoka's claws that penetrated deeply into China were almost cut off.
Haotian still shook his head: "Sir, as long as the other party is not actively declaring war on us, nor is it overtly or secretly trying to split our country, we have no reason to invade their country."
"But if we let the other party take action only after they are fully prepared, we will definitely pay a heavy price." Luo Xiang said unconvinced.
"The existence of our army is to defend our country and defend the glory of our country, not to invade foreign countries. If this basic nature has changed, then what is the difference between us and the aliens outside the Great Wall? Besides, with our country's
As long as it is not internally corrupt to the extreme, what do the surrounding foreign races have to fear? If Ashoka really wants to fight us, even if he unified the Mauryan Dynasty, even if he gathered the power of the country, so what?
Could it be that I, the Great Emperor, are still afraid of them?" Haotian said disdainfully.
After a pause, Haotian sighed leisurely: "Besides, leaving a potential opponent is not a bad thing. Born in sorrow, died in happiness. Without the existence of powerful foreign enemies, the enterprising spirit of the Shenzhou Dynasty will inevitably
It will be diluted because of this. The reason why our Hetao was able to thrive and conquer the world in just a few years is because the dangers around us forced us to strive for self-improvement. Think of the Han and Tang empires that dominated the country in the past, because they no longer exist
Opponents, without external threats, gradually became corrupted, and the martial spirit, pioneering spirit and self-improvement inherited from their blood gradually faded and eventually disappeared in the long river of history."
Qiu Mu looked at the man in front of her and was suddenly moved. She originally thought that Haotian had lost his mind due to the departure of God's will and had become the leader of a group of cold-blooded executioners. But now it seems that Haotian has not.
Lost, his heart is as bright as ever. He knows where his path is and how his future should develop. He is still silently guiding the direction of China. Everything he has done is not only to lead the Qingfeng Empire
He re-established a huge empire on the ruins of the country, and he also wanted to lay a great foundation for this empire for a long time to come, awakening the pride and dignity of the Chinese nation inherited from its blood.
Luo Xiang was also in a daze. Haotian's remarks had exceeded the scope of his thinking, making Luo Xiang feel like Huang Zhongda Lu was ringing in his ears. But more importantly, it was Luo Xiang's attitude towards Haotian.
With emotion, Haotian has indeed grown up. He is no longer the simple and passionate general he was when he raised troops in Dingzhou. He has his own thoughts and ideas. The most important thing is that Luo Xiang has to admit that
, although Haotian's idea is different from his own, it is correct and more heroic.
Suddenly, Luo Xiang felt a little sad, as if he felt excited and disappointed when he saw that his child had grown up, had his own ideas, and no longer needed to guide him in the future.
