Chapter 754
"Retreat, retreat again!" On the western battlefield, Yan Zhengqing commanded the soldiers to retreat continuously; since the war broke out the night before, it has continued until this morning, and it has lasted for more than 30 hours.
Last night, Xiao Xuan made a move and pulled out the two Sanxians of the enemy, but after all, the enemy still had many masters, and the Three Kingdoms had planned for a long time to charge, so Yan Zhengqing had to retreat again and again.
Yan Zhengqing didn't want to win at this time, but just wanted to buy time, and then retreated thousands of miles away, and now it should be said to be eight hundred miles away to the defense line of Langya County. As long as there is a delay, as long as you don't add chaos to the current Shang Kingdom, that's enough.
Looking at the battlefield in front of him, Yan Zhengqing was in command, and his eyes were shining brightly.
Constantly commanding the army to retreat, this is something that an ordinary commander would not dare to do on an ordinary battlefield, otherwise there will be villains in the court who will impeach him. But here in the Kingdom of Shang, Yan Zhengqing has no worries in this regard. Here in Shang Kingdom, everyone has common interests.
Li Xian, using interests to bind everyone together firmly, and by the way, also has great righteousness.
There is no conflict of interests, and even complement each other, so the kingdom of Shang is naturally monolithic. This is the power of business and capitalism. Of course, if you want to have enough benefits, you must expand; once the Shang Kingdom stops expanding, there will inevitably be many problems in the country-this is probably the other extreme of capitalism.
It’s far away, in short, Yan Zhengqing retreated step by step, and stabilized the front line step by step; Yan Zhengqing did not receive the victory news from Anyang, but what Yan Zhengqing received was—stabilize the ground, delay time, and wait for rescue .
It's not that Li Xian doesn't want to tell Yan Zhengqing what's going on at the front, but that he still needs to act now.
While the western front was still desperately fighting, Li Xian had already delivered an important speech in front of the Anyang City Lord's Mansion; the main content of the speech was-- unite as one! However, this article was written jointly by Xu Ren, Li Yuanming, and Yan Ze'an, with some ideas provided by Li Xian.
"Since ancient times, in the world of life, there is no sharpness of minions, no strength of muscles and bones, but they can be proud of millions of ethnic groups. Why?"
"The era of sects has passed, the era of nations has become the mainstream, and the human race has developed again, dominating the fertile land of the world. Why?"
"The reason is very simple, that is - unity."
"One chopstick is easy to break, but a hundred chopsticks can support a boulder. This is unity. If you separate a hundred chopsticks, they will be broken one by one."
"Nowadays, the human race is facing the invasion of the monster race and the crisis of national subjugation and genocide, but at this moment, some people ignore the righteousness of the human race and brazenly provoke a civil war among the human race."
"As the saying goes, to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside; in order to eliminate the evil, we paid countless prices. In order to suppress Cai Guo, the Tang State had to deploy front-line generals when the army was tense.
As a result, the Feng country was completely exterminated by the monster clan, and the Deng country was threatened by the monster clan; tens of millions of people in the two countries turned into the monster clan's rations.
Every time I see this, my heart bleeds. These sacrifices are completely avoidable; but they are sacrificed in vain because of the ambition of some people.
One person's misfortune, thousands of people are buried with him. This is the mourning of the human race. "
"After learning from the pain, this king has been thinking for a long time, and has no choice but to make up his mind: the human race must be unified!"
"As a king, one has the responsibility to consider the people of the world. It is a king's responsibility to worry about the world's worries first, and to enjoy the world's happiness later."
"For the sake of the human race and the happiness of more people, this king has decided: Yingzhou East must be unified! Whether you are opposed or worried, for the sake of the people of the world and for the sake of the human race, this king has no choice but to do so.
From now on, Shao Guo, Cao Guo, Wei Guo, Xing Guo, Lu Guo, and Liu Guo must be merged into the Shang Kingdom within one month. For the royal families of various countries, this king will definitely not treat them badly.
In addition, for every 1,000 kilometers of land area, a chance to ascend is given, only for the blood of the royal family. "
"After one month, if you are still unwilling to submit, this king will personally conquer. For the future of the human race, even if thousands of people criticize you, this king will not be afraid!"
Wow... Li Xian's voice fell, and the surroundings suddenly sounded turbulent. No one expected that Li Xian would be so strong this time!
The envoys and representatives of the surrounding countries even changed color.
Immediately, Gongsun Jue, the representative of the Shao Kingdom and the minister of the Honglu Temple, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I also hate the behavior of Xing Guo and the other three countries, and I agree with what the Majesty Xian said earlier.
But isn't King Xian's subsequent words a bit... ruthless? "
Gongsun Jue almost said "arrogance", but he changed a word after considering the consequences.
Li Xian looked at Gongsun Jue, looked at the expressions on countless faces around him, but smiled slightly, turned around and left. There is only one sentence floating in the air: one month!
One sentence, three words, but it contained endless pressure. The surrounding representatives from the Shao Kingdom and other six countries looked solemn and angry.
Among them, the representative of Xing State had the most ugly face - Li Xian's previous words made the representative of Xing State the target of public criticism, the target of everyone's attention, but more of the target of disgust.
Regardless of whether there is arrogance in Li Xian's back, but the words in front of Li Xian resonate with everyone - yes, a large part of the reason why the Human Race can exist today is because of unity, especially in the current situation.
But in the current situation, Xing Guo and other three kingdoms have become traitors. At this time, they are attacking the Shang Kingdom with ulterior motives!
Representative Xing Guo rolled his eyes, and immediately said: "We have long seen Shang Kingdom's wolf ambition, so..."
"Shut up!" Angrily shouted from around, and representatives of many countries looked at the representative of Xing country coldly, with anger rolling in their eyes.
A long time ago, everyone discussed that to deal with the Shang Kingdom, we should use a soft knife, use morality, and use the Shang Kingdom's own rules to trap the Shang Kingdom to death.
As a result, it was all right now, Xing Guo and the other three kingdoms acted rashly, but they gave the Shang Kingdom a good excuse. That Li Xian looks angry, but in his heart, he still doesn't know what happiness looks like!
With the hat of righteousness of the human race buckled, the Kingdom of Shang changed from a "greedy wolf" into a "dragon" in an instant. Although they are all expansion sites, the meanings they say are completely different. The phrase "to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down inside" has exhausted all the mysteries.
Especially right now, the power of the Shang Kingdom alone can contend against the northern monsters in Yingzhou; if the Northern War is over, the surrounding countries will definitely not be able to stop the Shang Kingdom's soldiers!
wrong! The envoys from various countries suddenly thought that the one month given by Li Xian, could it be that the Shang Kingdom is sure to end the war in the north within one month?
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they had seen the message through each other's eyes. They are all smart people, and the eyes can convey enough meaning.
Suddenly, representatives from various countries bid farewell and left one after another.
Around, common people, masters, etc., are also talking about it, and it seems that some people can't believe Li Xian's strength.
