Chapter 102: Counterattacking the Western Wilderness
Li Qinglin's will was for Li Qingjun to succeed him as the king of Nanli, but Li Qingjun refused to accept his resignation, and firmly supported his little niece to become king.
This one-year-old little girl has a name that she can't bear to look at, Li Wuxian. That's because before and after she was born, her father was in the most intensified stage of conflict with Dong Huazi, and her catchphrase was "there are no gods in this world!"
Qin Yi privately thinks that this child's name is Li Qinglin's biggest stain, and wonders if she will change her name when she grows up...
The biggest difference between her ascension to the throne and the previous ones was that there was an envoy of the Qian Kingdom in the hall witnessing the situation and reporting the situation to the Emperor Qian Kingdom.
The little girl is not the independent queen of Nanli, but the king of Nanli, a vassal of the Qian Kingdom.
But this is not important, there is almost no difference, even at this moment, theoretically, it is necessary to wait for the Qian Kingdom to send an envoy to "canonize" the king, but Nanli still completed the enthronement ceremony by himself. The envoy of the Qian Kingdom in the palace did not come to be canonized. He had come here before and hadn’t left yet. He was just watching the ceremony...
The emperor is far away from the mountains, and Qianguo doesn't care so much.
Maybe one day the Qian Kingdom will be destroyed, but Nanli will still be there. The history mentioned by Li Qinglin is likely to repeat itself.
It was Qin Yi's first time to participate in this kind of enthronement ceremony, and he appeared in an extremely important and high-ranking role - as the national teacher, he should even be responsible for the coronation of the new king.
It's not a coronation like in the West, it's just a script for offering sacrifices to heaven, basically just a formalized cutscene. The palace had been burned down, and the ceremony in the remaining side hall seemed even more crude and perfunctory.
When reading, the little girl was sitting on the dragon chair, and Qin Yi stood in front of her and read to her, looking at the little girl on the dragon chair from the corner of his eyes.
He thinks this little girl is special.
He is only over one year old, he can't even walk clearly, he can only speak some very simple words, and he has to change diapers... But when facing the soldiers from Xihuang who broke into the door, such a child couldn't help but cry Didn't cry. The entire enthronement ceremony was extremely tedious, and she also sat there quietly, neither crying nor making noise or sleeping.
In this kind of world with souls and supernatural powers, Qin Yi even wondered if this child was traversed or taken away by someone. How could there be such a one-year-old child?
You can consult Tassel, the answer of Tassel is no.
It really is the soul of a young child. The soul of an adult is very different from that of a child, and it is impossible to hide it from Tassel.
Qin Yi can only attribute this to the fact that Li Qinglin's genetics are a bit strong, and this child obviously has a bright future...
And Li Qingjun was named the regent, in charge of everything. Before the little king grew up, Li Qingjun was actually the king.
Qin Yi was also fortunate to witness a young girl upgrade from a princess to a eldest princess and then to the king's aunt in more than two months, achieving a triple jump in her generation.
This troubled Nanli.
"His Royal Highness the Regent." After the ceremony, the little king, who finally peed his pants, was taken to change his diaper, and the envoy of the Qian Kingdom approached Li Qingjun with a smile.
"Just now I got the news that Xihuang has already presented himself as a minister to me. From now on, everyone will be the ministers of a country..."
Li Qingjun said calmly: "Congratulations to Emperor Dagan for ruling the southern border. Speaking of which, the Western Wilderness is barbaric, the food is vulgar, and the residence is simple. I don't know if the soldiers of the Southern Expedition can still live there? Why don't you let the soldiers come to Nanli for the winter, and this king is fine." A little bit of the landlord's friendship."
The envoy smiled knowingly: "Anyway, the distance is not far, so of course it is better for them to spend the winter in Nanli."
Li Qingjun was still not good enough for the city, and he was obviously happy when he heard this.
The envoy smiled, and turned to Qin Yi again: "I heard that the national teacher has real skills, and the fire in the palace can be extinguished in an instant?"
Qin Yi was marveling at Li Qingjun's growth, and when he heard the words, he was humbled: "I dare not be that."
The envoy said with a smile: "If the national teacher is free, why not go to Longyuan City, His Majesty will definitely welcome you."
Qin Yi cupped his hands: "If you have time, you must go and disturb the envoy."
The messenger left very satisfied.
The Nanli people are indeed not like the legendary Nanman, who have been passed down for thousands of years, and have learned from intermarriage in China through the ages. Today's civilized demeanor, food and craftsmanship are all the same as those in China. Not only are the characters handsome and beautiful, but their minds are also very transparent, and they can understand the implication without waking up. In contrast, Xihuang is the real southern barbarian, and it goes without saying that the people in China are closer to each other.
Li Qingjun asked the Nanzheng army to "spend the winter" in Nanli, in fact, he meant to test whether he could attack Xihuang. Because if a large number of troops are stationed in Xihuang, you will become a provocative suzerain country if you fight there, but if you are willing to withdraw the whole army to Nanli to "spend the winter" under the premise of asking this question, then you are acquiescing that you can fight.
What Emperor Daqian wanted was the achievement of subduing southern Xinjiang, and the achievement had already been achieved. As for how the two vassals beat out the dog's brains, Dagan didn't particularly care about it. It is better to fight fiercely, and there is more room for mediation by the suzerain country-they don't know much about the details of the two countries, and they don't think that this century-old feud will really be wiped out in one battle.
Even if someone is killed, it is not too important.
So the direction of the messenger is more important.
Of course, this is not determined by the closeness of culture. The envoy will prefer Nanli, just because Li Qinglin stuffed him with a lot of money.
He has already figured out this step.
Li Qingjun felt that if he still couldn't win at this point, he would really have no face to see his brother in the future.
…………
At the end of the first year of Qin Yi's travel history, it was extremely cold, the vultures were sick, and Mizusawa's stomach was firm.
Nanli has not passed the first seven days of the previous king, and the new king is still changing diapers. The regent Li Qingjun and the general Xie Yuan brazenly raised their troops and set out to march across the country, pointing their swords at the Western Wilderness.
National teacher Qin Yi accompanied him.
This is the decisive battle.
In Da Ganyan's eyes, it's a chicken pecking at each other.
The elites of the Western Wilderness were all lost, all the famous generals were lost, and the homeland was invaded again, causing a mess. When the army was retreating, it was chased and killed by Li Qingjun for hundreds of miles. The casualties were heavy, and it was the weakest time.
Similarly, Nanli is also extremely weak. He was tormented by a monk who almost destroyed the country. This winter's food storage is even scarcer. Right now, even the people's food is collected for the expedition, and they can only support the army for a few days with all their strength. Once defeated, it will be the end of a complete collapse.
But this is the only chance, because Xihuang must recover faster than Nanli, and if he doesn't take advantage of this battle to completely settle the situation, he will never have another chance.
West Desolate Border Town.
The army was pressing down on the border, and the guard nervously ordered the soldiers to pour water on the city wall. This winter, the ice would quickly freeze and be slippery, which would be disadvantageous for the attacker.
Several talisman papers floated from the sky.
The sound of "Ceng Ceng Ceng" exploded everywhere, and the guard watched dumbfounded as the icy water on the city wall suddenly pierced ice edges everywhere, it seemed that there were many long thorns growing on the city wall...
But if you want long thorns, please make them denser. Isn’t this sparse thick thorns a natural ladder for the opponent?
The guard was so angry that he didn't vomit blood. He looked far into the distance and saw a young man in green shirt floating in the air in the middle of the city. His eyes were slightly closed, his hand was sealed with magic seals, and he was surrounded by yellow talismans. He looked like a god in the wind and snow.
Eight-Rank Dao Talisman, Ice Spike.
Nanli Guoshi Qin Yi?
The guard's heart was cold.
When they attacked, there were wizards who cast spells to dry the city walls, and the opponent had both national teachers and Taoist spells to achieve other effects, which were better than their drying effects.
The sound of shouting and killing came from the ground, and thousands of troops surrounded the city wall.
The flames shot up into the sky. The first hour after the fire army left the customs, the border city of Xihuang was destroyed and burned to the ground.
