Chapter 340 Circumstances
"Only by knowing the gap can you know the direction of your efforts!" Yuan Zhao stood up, "Brother, wait, I will send all those who have sorry for you to be your companions and slaves! However, there is one more important thing right now. Things need to be done!"
do what? Yuan Zhao wants to personally persuade Dongyuan County to surrender! After seeing the strength of Anyang and the speed of Anyang's development, Yuan Zhao finally made up his mind to persuade his father Yuan Yong to lead Dongyuan County directly to Anyang!
This was the decision Yuan Zhao made after thinking all night.
"There is the state of Jin in the south, Anyang in the north, and Anyang's territory in the sea! If Dongyuan County in the middle continues to resist, it will only be crushed and turned into powder!
There are only two development paths for Dongyuan County, either relying on the Jin Kingdom or relying on Anyang; and from the perspective of long-term development, and from the perspective of the Great Xia Kingdom, taking refuge in Anyang is the best policy! "
"Let's go, let's go home directly by boat!" Yuan Zhao took the entourage and set foot on the way home. After Yuan Zhao promised not to interfere with Xiao Guo's Northern Expedition for the time being, Li Xian let Yuan Zhao go. Now, Yuan Zhao wants to go home and have a look.

Where's Li Xian? Li Xian is now frowning. Xia Qingqing pulled Li Xian and asked Li Xian to go to Pingxin Villa for breakfast. Today, there is not only the former empress Xiao Yu, but also the eldest prince Xia Xu in Pingxin Villa; the second prince Xia Shu, who was invited by Li Xian to come as a 'guest', is also here.
The meeting between the first prince and the second prince was also a meeting between a fake emperor and an empty emperor. Just thinking about it makes people "chicken-frozen". It's a pity that Xia Qingqing knew Li Xian too well, before Li Xian "went out to inspect", she didn't eat breakfast, and after getting up, she held Li Xian and wouldn't let go.
"Let's go, let's go, we are all a family, can we never see each other forever in the future?"
Li Xian looked left and right, but both Xu Ren and Li Yuanming immediately turned around and left after seeing Li Xian's eyes asking for help. Angrily, Li Xian rolled his eyes. In the end, Xia Qingqing dragged her into the car and sent her to Pingxin Villa in no time.
During breakfast, Xiao Yu and Xia Qingqing were whispering in the back hall, only Li Xian, Xia Xu, and Xia Shu looked at each other. The food was cold, but the three of them still stared blankly.
A rebel leader, a fake emperor, and an empty emperor, this is really... wonderful.
In the end, Li Xian, who was still the youngest, stood up and poured wine, "Your Excellency is very generous", "Little brother toasts elder brother and second brother."
The second prince Xia Shu hated Li Xian the most, and he was not polite when he took the wine, and said with a sneer, "It's a great fortune to be able to toast King Anyang himself."
‘We are winners, we are winners, we don’t need to have the same knowledge as this loser. ’ Li Xian told himself this in his heart, and said: "Second brother, in the past, my younger brother was indeed a bit... unreasonable. Let me accompany you to my second brother."
However, the second prince also seemed to be broken, "Could it be that if you kill someone, then going to make an apology can make people come back to life?"
Fuck! The anger in Li Xian's heart exploded with a bang, and you even opened a dyeing workshop after giving you three points of color? Alright, since you want to be fussy, I'll let you see what a small belly is!
Li Xian's face quickly darkened, "Yeah, of course you have to pay for your life if you kill someone, and making an apology is the most hypocritical. When Anyang was just developing, many messengers were killed. The second brother can't do this. Ever heard of it?"
Xia Shu's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect that Li Xian would turn his back on what he said, and he turned his back in front of the First Prince, Xia Qingqing, and Xiao Yu. But no matter what, the second prince has matured a lot. "The situation was chaotic back then. Everyone was intercepting and killing the messenger. Who knows what happened."
"Really?" Li Xian slammed the wine glass on the table suddenly, "Second brother, teach you to be good. Before you speak, you must make sure that you don't have a tail behind your buttocks. Now in the prison in Anyang, there are still There are many murderers locked up, do you want to hand them over and confront them face to face?"
As soon as the second prince heard this, he was worried, annoyed, and felt a sense of humiliation broke out: "Li Xian, you actually asked me to confront the prisoner? Where do you put the majesty of the royal family?!"
"Royal majesty?" Li Xian leaned back in the chair slowly, looking at the second prince with contempt, "It turns out that the life of the second brother in Wuyang City is based on the royal majesty. Disrespect and disrespect."
The second prince is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, about to jump up.
At last, the eldest prince still has a bit of city power, "Okay, okay, why are you arguing. Li Xian, you are a virtuous king, and your name has been spread all over the world. As for arguing over such a trivial matter.
Also, second child, you know exactly what form it is now. Prince royal or something, forget it. It's all a thing of the past. I am going to be a commoner in Anyang.
It's just that he can't distinguish the five grains and his hands are clumsy. I need to ask my brother Xian to help me. "
Li Xian looked at the eldest prince, and had to say that the eldest prince's methods are still quite good. A few words resolved the conflict between Li Xian and Xia Shu, and by the way, they also sought benefits for themselves; the whole process was tepid, as if they were still... flattering.
Don't say it, Li Xian listened very comfortably. "Thank you, big brother. The easiest and most profitable thing today is undoubtedly ocean transportation. Otherwise, in a few days, it will be this Industrial Expo, which will be the next iron-hull boat auction. Already, brother, let’s get a steel-hulled boat to play with.”
"Steel-hulled boats should be very expensive, right?" The eldest prince lacked confidence. Xiao Liming didn't let the eldest prince take away any money.
Li Xian thought for a while, "Brother, you can borrow some from Qingqing. Because of the Anyang law, I can't make a move. But you and Qingqing are brother and sister, so you can borrow money from Qingqing."
"Then thank you, brother." After his mentality was adjusted, the First Prince was also ready to go into business - if he didn't do business, he wouldn't be able to support his more than one hundred wives, concubines and children.
Li Xian and the eldest prince talked comfortably, and Xia Shu next to him was even more annoyed, but he couldn't get angry, let alone the resentment in his heart. Also, the first prince and Xia Qingqing are siblings, but the second prince's mother is not Xiao Yu, so the relationship is too bad.
Li Xian finished his breakfast in this dull atmosphere, greeted Xiao Yu, and then dragged Xia Qingqing away.

Cai Guo in the north, after dawn, the war became more intense. Cai Guo's local powers and aristocratic families are finally belatedly aware-Cai Guo is going to perish! Once Cai Guo falls, they will not have a good life like these aristocratic families. Under such thoughts, these aristocratic families and so on finally began to seriously resist. But, after all, it was too late!
The resistance of sporadic aristocratic families, once seeing the mighty and endless army of hundreds of thousands, the legs and feet of the servants softened. Afterwards, almost all the aristocratic families surrendered one after another.
In the direction of facing the aristocratic family, both Li Yulong and Xiao Liming's attitudes are very clear, mainly to win over. As for Anyang's army, they are now employed by Li Yulong's side, of course according to Li Yulong's thinking.
But in order to prevent these aristocratic families from being stabbed in the back, all the aristocratic families who surrendered must send "protons"-all children over the age of 5 and under the age of 16, regardless of whether they are direct descendants, as long as they are descendants, they will be escorted to the Tang Kingdom or It was the Xiao Kingdom, and these talents would be released after the war ended.
And on the walls of the imperial capital of Cai Guo and Shangyong City, the old man and the old general Cai Guobin also waited all night; for one night, Cao Guobin just sat on a chair, sitting in the most conspicuous position on the city wall, a little stunned but looked at the south . When the sun rises, the banners that cover the sky and the sun are the first to appear in the southwest. Xiao Liming's 200,000 troops rushed to the imperial capital of Cai Kingdom first.
But to the southeast of Cai's imperial capital, about a hundred miles away, the armies of Anyang and Tang were advancing side by side. Yan Zhengqing leads the army to advance rapidly, and the direction of advance can be said to be elusive; using his familiarity with Cai Guo, Yan Zhengqing can always win each stronghold with the least loss and the fastest speed, and form a defense system.
It can be said that Yan Zhengqing has firmly controlled the land that Yan Zhengqing will fight down, which is something that Xiao Guo and Tang Guo's troops cannot do.
As he was advancing, a silver-gray supersonic plane suddenly flew in the sky; the plane completely relied on the floating cloud formation to slowly land in front of Yan Zhengqing, and a pilot who was at the peak of Jindan stage jumped out. "General, there is a situation!"
