Chapter 301 Let's Take Refuge in Jin
In fact, Kong Donglai also wrongly blamed the eldest prince. The eldest prince was really moved and wanted to support Nanyang County; it was Xiao Liming who was really good at making claims, and it was Xiao Liming who made fun of Kong Donglai.
But no matter what, for Kong Donglai now, the situation is extremely critical. Originally, he wanted to wait for the eldest prince to launch an attack from the north, so as to disperse the coalition forces of Guangling County and Songzhou County, so as to reduce the pressure on Nanyang County, and even save lives; in the end, those who saved lives became spectators, and the crisis did not change at all.
No, after such a toss, the morale of the army in Nanyang County began to be seriously shaken; while the confidence of the soldiers in Guangling County and Songzhou County was unprecedentedly firm.
One ebbs and another, Nanyang County seems to be in danger!
"Why don't we ask Dongyuan County for help?" Wencheng Guo Hongyan said carefully beside him.
"When the rescuers from Dongyuan County arrive, our place will already be lost!" Kong Donglai sneered, "I'm afraid that when the army from Dongyuan County arrives, they will not come to rescue us, but take the opportunity to annex our last territory! Yuanjun is going crazy now if he wants to expand."
"Ah... then... use the last resort?!" Guo Hongyan said cautiously.
Kong Donglai gritted his teeth, "We can only use the last resort. Anyway, Dongyuan County has already used it."
The last resort is some hidden masters such as the separatist regime. This is the change caused by Li Yulong extending the national fortune for the Great Xia Kingdom for fifteen years. Last time, the 30,000 to 40,000 elites led by Yuan Yong at the last moment were the hidden masters of Dongyuan County.
This is the last resort of every separatist regime. It is used for the great cause, not for the present. Kong Donglai didn't want to use this power now. Once this power is exposed, many things will be difficult to do later.
In particular, Kong Donglai knew one thing very well - the assassination of Li Xian was arranged by himself, and those people were one of Kong Donglai's hidden forces! Therefore, once this hidden power is used, Nanyang County must be prepared to turn against Anyang County and Li Xian!
And everyone has hidden power, whoever uses the hidden power first will lose.
After hesitating for a while, Kong Donglai finally made a decision with a serious expression on his face: "Kong Yingzhi obeys the order and immediately leads an army of 50,000 dragons to support Nangongzhi! Remember, how to use this army must obey Nangongzhi's command !"
"Yes!" Kong Yingzhi immediately turned his head and left, ready to lead the most elite dragon army in Nanyang County to set off.
As for handing over the 50,000 Dragon Army to Nangong Zhi, Kong Donglai had no choice. In Nanyang County, there was only one Nangong Zhi; if he didn't trust Nangong Zhi, he couldn't find anyone capable. General talent is easy to find, handsome talent is rare.
To say that Kong Donglai and Nangong Zhi got along very well in the past, at least on the surface. But ever since Chen Jin reported the situation to Nangong Zhi, but not to Kong Donglai, a clear rift began to appear between Nangong Zhi and Kong Donglai. And we know that once there is a crack between almost all "military officers and centralized leaders", there is almost no possibility of recovery!
But now, there is no second Nangongzhi in Nanyang County, and Kong Donglai can only pretend to be magnanimous and trustworthy. A handsome talent is not so easy to appear; and a loyal handsome talent is even rarer to see!
After Kong Yingzhi left, a soldier came suddenly, "My lord, a prisoner gave me this just now."
This is a letter.
captive? Jin country?
He was puzzled, but Kong Donglai still took it and read it. It turned out that it was a letter written by Wang Zhouzhi, the surrendering general of the Jin Kingdom and the Sifang General of the Jin Kingdom, Wang Zhouzhi. A letter written on a rag—there was really nothing here in the camp, not even the paper on which the letter was written.
The letter is very simple, only three sentences:
I know the current form of Nanyang County,
Now the only one who can save Nanyang County is Jin State,
Now take refuge in the state of Jin, forget the past.
The signature is Wang Zhouzhi.
If it was in the past, Kong Donglai would definitely throw it away after reading it, but now, Kong Donglai is a little hesitant when holding this letter. Holding the letter with my fingers, there are many struggles in my heart, and I am constantly thinking about gains and losses.
Will he be settled by Qiuhou for taking refuge in Jin? He was stabbed severely in the heart by Li Lisong, the commander-in-chief of Jin State.
Also, in addition to relying on Jin, you can also rely on Qi! Although Nanyang County and Qi State are separated by Guangling County and Jin State, there is still a little border between Nanyang County and Qi State, about thirty miles or so. To be precise, the so-called border is the three-way zone on the border, but it is enough to have a border after all.
However, there are problems with relying on the Jin State, and there are also problems in relying on the Qi State-there are hardly any connections, and the Qi State does not know enough. Especially Qi Guo and Anyang seem to be fighting fiercely for the time being!
This letter gave Kong Donglai three choices:
First, resist desperately, but the loss will be heavy, and it is difficult to say in the future; although I have obtained Anyang's technology now, I don't have much confidence in my heart-Anyang always sells technology everywhere. Um, the bastard's Lee Hyun!
Second, take refuge in the Jin State, but prevent the Jin State from settling accounts after the autumn - even if His Majesty the Emperor does not pursue it, it is difficult to guarantee that the officials below will be stumbling behind.
Third, taking refuge in Qi State may be the best, but it is also the most unknown. The unknown is the most dangerous!
After thinking about it for a while, Kong Donglai finally decided to talk to Wang Zhouzhi first to see what Wang Zhouzhi's attitude was. Also see what kind of conditions Wang Zhou Zhizhi gave.
Although he was at a disadvantage, Kong Donglai still put on a high profile and asked the soldiers around him to "bring" Wang Zhouzhi. Since it is necessary to negotiate, of course we must make good use of all opportunities.
Today's Wang Zhouzhi is in a bit of a mess, his cultivation and so on are all sealed, and his clothes are ragged. But after seeing Kong Donglai, Wang Zhouzhi stood upright with his head raised proudly. Then he stood in front of Kong Donglai without saying a word!
Kong Donglai immediately had a headache, but Kong Donglai was also an old fox. He immediately turned his head to look at the soldiers beside him, and scolded, "Why are you so ungrateful? Bring a stool over and ask General Wang to sit down."
The guards next to him searched around but couldn't find a stool, so they could only use spells to condense a stone bench temporarily, and then invited Wang Zhouzhi to sit down. Wang Zhouzhi also knew that enough was enough, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey. After sitting down, Wang Zhouzhi chuckled, "Master Kong is really poor here, and there are no extra stools."
This is a sarcasm about Kong Donglai's current situation.
Kong Donglai didn't seem to care about the sarcasm, "The general is such a flexible message! I wonder if the general is satisfied with his current life?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied." Wang Zhouzhi still smiled, "Watching the fire from the other side, what is there to be dissatisfied with?"
Kong Donglai smiled and said threatening words: "General Wang may not know, someone advised me to push the warriors (captives) of your country to the front line as a shield. I wonder what General Wang thinks of this idea?"
This idea is too bad for heaven's sake! When Wang Zhouzhi heard this, his first reaction was to drag Kong Donglai out and beat him to death a thousand times, and then beat him to death a thousand times. Pushing the unarmed and defenseless captives whose cultivation base has been sealed to the front line as shields will be struck by lightning.
Of course, although such an idea is a bad idea, it is not unfounded. Now Nanyang County has 250,000 Jin prisoners. If Nanyang County pushes all these captives to the front line, then Guangling County and Songzhou County must hesitate before doing it.
Although Anyang subdued the state of Jin, it does not mean that Guangling County and Songzhou County also have such abilities! In fact, there were many reasons why Anyang defeated Jin. On the one hand, there is the problem of arms in Anyang, and on the other hand, the state of Jin has been at peace for a long time, and its war preparations are lax. But after Anyang's stimulation, the current state of Jin has definitely undergone earth-shaking changes.
Therefore, if Nanyang County really puts the captives at the forefront, Guangling County and Songzhou County will definitely restrain their hands and even retreat. Of course other possibilities are not ruled out.
Wang Zhouzhi's complexion changed. Although Nanyang County is unlikely to do this, it will completely anger Jin; but it cannot be ruled out that Nanyang County will go crazy at the last moment. At the moment of desperation, it is not uncommon for people to die after an addiction.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhouzhi had no choice but to speak first, "Master Kong, surrendering to Jin now is the best choice for Nanyang County."
There was a hint of sarcasm on Kong Donglai's face: "Oh? Then can I ask General Wang to explain?"
Wang Zhouzhi said slowly, "Master Kong, please listen carefully."
