Chapter 513 Lobbying King Cheng
After dealing with Zhang Yong, Zhuo, Jin and others, Lv Songli took his followers to Shanggu County, where he did the same thing.
People's hearts are subtle.
The original people of Youzhou, they felt that they were the people of Dali, but the court abandoned them. Pingzhou was a rebel, but it saved them from the water and fire. Throwing themselves into the arms of Pingzhou was like jumping into the fire pit again. This feeling disappeared until Jin Wang Cheng Wang Xie Zhan and others rebelled.
At this time, the people of Youzhou were at a loss.
If Lv Songli and others did nothing, the people of Youzhou would slowly try to accept the new policy, which would take time.
Everyone needs a reason to accept and a reason to change camps. This step can be said to be a bridge, and the new policy needs to be given first.
So Lv Songli threw out the officials left in Youzhou and let the local people decide whether they should stay or go.
This method allowed all the people in the two counties of Youzhou to participate, and finally roughly plowed Yuyang County and Shanggu County among the three counties of Youzhou.
Youbeiping County doesn't have to worry too much, because Youbeiping County is close to Pingzhou, and most of the people ran to Pingzhou to seek refuge because it was defeated by the Xianbei army. The people in this county also have the highest trust in Pingzhou among the three counties in Youzhou.
At this time, the people in Youzhou have a sense of identity with the new policy.
During his stay in Shanggu County, Lv Songli received news that the court was preparing to use troops against Nandi, and it was said that the army had assembled and set off.
She thought to herself that Nandi was about to start their first round of tests.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, they have to be pulled out for a walk.
At the same time, the court ordered that Dali merchants were prohibited from trading with Pingzhou and Nandi, and those who violated the order would be killed without mercy.
Isn't this a blockade?
This Song Mo is really, he is about to go to war, but he still wants to make Pingzhou difficult.
But Lv Songli is not afraid, you have a plan, I have a ladder. What the final result will be, we'll see.
Lu Songli was busy in Yuyang County and Shanggu County during those days. She visited some villages and towns to conduct field investigations to see how to restore people's livelihood and economy in the coming year.
A good iron must be made strong.
Southwest, Cheng Wang Mansion
Cheng Wang also received news that the court was going to use troops against Lingnan. Cheng Wang immediately raised his head and said, "Song Mo finally understands the difference between inside and outside."
Cheng Wang was very satisfied that Song Mo chose to attack outsiders at the first time.
Although Cheng Wang followed Pingzhou to rebel, he was actually uncomfortable, especially when he knew that Xie Zhan of Lingnan also rebelled.
In his opinion, what kind of people are Xie Zhan and Qin Lu? How dare they covet their Dali kingdom? They should destroy these two parties, and finally let the three brothers of the Song family fight for the world.
At this time, Dong Jichuan came in from outside.
King Cheng waved to him, "Mr. Dong, come quickly!"
"As we expected, the court has sent troops to attack the unlucky Xie Zhan first." King Cheng felt that he was the first one to be chosen among the four choices of Song Mo. What else could it be but bad luck?
After the news came that a female lord had appeared in Pingzhou, Dong Jichuan predicted that the court's first target would be Lingnan. King Cheng regarded the other party's credit as everyone's, which was just a way to flatter himself.
The staff of King Cheng suggested, "King Cheng is blessed with great fortune. As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. We can take this opportunity to expand our territory."
Dong Jichuan saw that King Cheng actually thought about it seriously, so he knew that he was moved and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Governor Xie sent an envoy and is waiting outside the door. Would you like to see him?"
"Xie Zhan sent an envoy? What for?"
Dong Jichuan said, "The other party should be here to persuade you to form an alliance. Your Majesty, there are still many smart people in this world."
King Cheng understood. Dong Jichuan meant that Xie Zhan also speculated that the court would attack him first, so he sent an envoy to the southwest early.
"Then please come in." King Cheng wanted to see if this was the case.
When Jiang Boya came in, he saluted King Cheng at the first time.
After King Cheng asked him not to be polite, he asked about his purpose.
Jiang Boya said bluntly, "I am here on behalf of my master to invite you to form an alliance."
King Cheng said lazily, "The court wants to attack your Lingnan, and it has nothing to do with me. Why should I form an alliance with you Lingnan?"
Jiang Boya nodded, "It is human nature for King Cheng to think so."
"But King Cheng, you know that Lingnan and Southwest are by no means unrelated. My master thinks that we are in a relationship of lips and teeth."
"This time the court attacks Lingnan, King Cheng can certainly stand idly by, but after the court destroys my master, it will inevitably attack King Cheng and King Jin."
"Now that the court is powerful, King Cheng, do you really think that you can compete with the court with the power of one state?"
"We are each doing our own thing, and it is easy for the court to defeat us one by one. Only by uniting together can there be a glimmer of hope. King Cheng, saving the South is also saving yourself. "
Thinking that the strength of the southwest is indeed a bit weak compared to the court, King Cheng's face has become a bit ugly, but he still said unruly, "If I can't compete with the court with the power of one state, can I compete with you Lingnan by forming an alliance?"
Jiang Boya analyzed the current situation with him, "The Dali court is powerful, like a strong man; the southwest and the south are weak, like a child. The court's attack on Lingnan is like a strong man bullying a child, and there is still strength to spare. But the court may not be able to fight two at a time, because it has to reserve a large army to guard against Xianbei Pingzhou and other places. This is also the reason why the court only sent troops to Lingnan, rather than fighting on two or three fronts at the same time. "
The general meaning is that if the court beats one of the three of them, it will definitely destroy them. If it's one against two, it won't work.
"Your Majesty, if we don't join forces, it's very likely that neither of us will have a chance to grow up."
"After you Lingnan is gone, I can form an alliance with King Jin." King Cheng's words are still full of provocation. They are all forming an alliance. Who should I form an alliance with?
Jiang Boya said calmly, "Our two places are adjacent." Although the two places are separated by some mountains and rivers, it's not important, right?
"There is a natural basis for cooperation. If you wait for the imperial court to destroy the Southern Land, even if you and the King of Jin can join forces, they will be far apart and cannot effectively coordinate."
In the end, there is no way to escape death.
King Cheng choked.
"I wonder if King Cheng has ever thought that if our Lingnan Heping Prefecture is destroyed, Song Mo will only need to use the ancestral family law to suppress you." Their existence is necessary.
Seeing that King Cheng didn't take it seriously, Jiang Boya changed his argument again, "Taking a step back, King Cheng should also work hard in the direction of the greatest chance of winning. King Cheng needs time to strengthen himself, lay down more territory, and hold more It will be easier to negotiate with the imperial court in the future.”
"Therefore, I privately believe that only if Prince Cheng and my lord form an alliance, and both sides watch and help each other, and fight against the imperial court together, will the prince have the possibility of victory."
