Chapter 013: Three Years, Will Return

Afterwards, the candidates for the Minister of Industry were selected by the court.

There might be a little confusion in the middle, but it quickly got on the right track, but Master Ruan began to slowly decentralize.

Jingwan sees it in her eyes and doesn't say much. Ruan Ruizhong is an absolute loyal minister and a capable minister. As far as Qiyuan Jiangshan is concerned, he is still a hero. Her husband wants to squeeze him to death because of his "private grievance". Seriously, at this age, it is indeed time to enjoy his old age, but his sons are not up to expectations, especially those who were harmed by his step-wife, his grandsons can still be used, but obviously in the After he retired, it was unrealistic to let his grandson climb above the third rank.

However, as Luo Peishan said, if a family really declines, it is also destiny, and the kindness of others alone cannot be maintained.

Jingwan is very busy right now, and she doesn't have the energy to think about the things that are available or not.

Anyway, Ruan Ruizhong will have to wait for a while.

Getting up from the imperial desk, Jingwan rubbed the back of her neck, moved her muscles and bones, and gradually entered summer again. To say that in the early years of Emperor Lecheng, she would go to the summer palace almost every year. She has been in Beijing for so many years. I have been there for a year, and living there is indeed more comfortable than in Beijing. However, as a queen, it is impossible to lack carbon in winter and lack of ice in summer. Besides, sometimes I am busy and forget, where else can I take care of other things.

Now, his husband seems to be more and more prosperous on the land of Nan Qi, and he goes deep into the hinterland of Nan Qi.

Even if it was against Li Hongyuan, Nan Qi dispatched more troops, but not only did it not work, but instead "delivered food" to Qiyuan again and again, it made Qiyuan more and more powerful, and Li Hongyuan's "God of War" The name also spread gradually, so that the people in Nan Qi heard about his name, not to mention the intention to kill him, they were timid by three points at first, and they disappeared. By now, Qi Yuan has occupied a quarter of Nan Qi. One country.

No matter how ambitious they were, in such a situation, those in power in Nan Qi couldn't bear it, and in desperation, they submitted a letter of reconciliation to Qi Yuan.

However, how likely is it to seek peace with the living King of Hell, who is determined to swallow Nan Qi? The book of reconciliation has already entered the brazier here, let alone sent to the Qiyuan court.

When Nan Qi wanted to deal with Li Hongyuan, using that method, to be honest, he didn't fully understand it. If he understood it completely, he probably wouldn't use that kind of stupid method, and some people in Nan Qi probably didn't. Taking him too seriously, even if they exaggerate his abilities, some people probably don't believe it, and now, they have paid the price for what they once thought, whether it was the orthodox emperor of Nanqi, or those who peeped at the throne. careerist.

Some people regretted provoking such a god, and some people regretted why they didn't use all their strength to kill him, but did that useless thing.

And people on both sides use this point, desperately attacking and accusing each other.

The strength of the Southern Qi state was even stronger than that of Qiyuan. However, the internal problems also broke out at this moment.

After the reconciliation letter was handed out, there was no news at all for a long time, and Qiyuan's army was still advancing non-stop. Finally, it was still in a hurry and had to find a solution to the predicament. Nan Qi reached a short-term "one heart".

After thinking about it, it turned out that he could only ask for help from other countries and disrupt the border of Qiyuan. In this way, Nan Qi could have a chance to breathe, and then fight back fiercely, not only to regain the lost territory, but also to give Qiyuan to him. chopped.

In this way, things inadvertently coincided with the situation of Li Hongyuan shortly after he ascended the throne in his previous life.

However, there is a difference now. At that time, it may have been embarrassed on all sides. Now, there are very few people who dare to scratch the beard of a tiger. I have never seen Nan Qi being devoured bit by bit. A fraction of Qiyuan's, and the rest, there are so many people in a small place, how dare a mayfly shake a tree? I wish I could disappear from the eyes of Emperor Yuan Qi. How dare they take the initiative to intrude? Some countries have even made some preparations - after Qi Yuan has captured Nan Qi, if they want to continue to expand their territory, they will take the initiative. Consecrate the country.

Don't say cowardly and incompetent, look at Zhang Guo, when Qi Yuan attacked Zhang Guo at first, the reason is known to the whole world.

Taking the initiative to offer it, a war was avoided, and the people were spared the suffering of war. In this way, even if he became the king of the subjugated country, in the future, he would not be faceless to meet the ancestors and sects under Jiuquan. Besides, it’s not without benefits to be included in Qiyuan. Small countries like them generally have few small people. Small land means that there are no rich products. Fewer people means that there are not enough labor and troops. Tributes, especially small countries at the bottom, pay tribute not only to big countries, but also to neighboring countries that are stronger than themselves. Every year, even for that tribute, they must devote all their efforts to the whole country. This is not necessarily the case. If you can make "Shangguo" satisfied, you don't speak your words wholeheartedly, and if you are not careful, disaster will come, every time you are trembling, if you become a part of Qiyuan, this situation will end, but you will get what Qiyuan people deserve. benefit.

The former lord of the country was named a marquis. Although he no longer had power in his hands, he might be better off living in the capital of Qiyuan.

After all this time, Jingwan received urgent reports of border changes, and it was only the border with the former Wei Dynasty.

And the name played by the former Wei is also very interesting, saying that Qiyuan murdered them, the princess of the former Wei.

Speaking of which, from the very beginning, he was guarding against changes in the former Wei Dynasty. He Zhenwei, a battle-hardened veteran at the border, was in charge, and there were not a few stalwarts under his command.

If the former Wei goes south with all his strength, he will be able to bring about a great threat from Qiyuan. However, the former Wei really has

This courage has already begun.

It should be noted that there are also many large and small countries near the north of the former Wei. These alien races are equally brave, and they forged a great feud with the former Wei in their early years. They only hated the former Wei for being strong, and on weekdays, they mostly did some harassment. , if they get a chance, they will definitely bite down a piece of flesh and blood on Qian Wei's body.

For this point, the former Wei also knew very well, so, fighting with Qiyuan, the force was also limited.

Besides, Li Hongyuan's early layout, now the former Wei Dynasty is still in civil strife, and all parties are fighting for power and profits, but unlike the previous Qiyuan, there is a living King of Hell who has an absolute advantage. , of course, no one is willing to give in half a point.

As the so-called strength disparity is very different, it is impossible to fight, and when it is equal, the result will be extraordinarily tragic.

As expected, Jingwan began to arrange various matters in an orderly manner, and the food and grass for He Zhenwei and the others were also in place early, ready to fight at any time.

When Nan Qi received the news that the former Wei had sent troops, however, Li Hongyuan did not withdraw his troops at all, and he did not even have the idea of ​​reducing his troops. He was shocked, angry and afraid for a while.

If the strategy doesn't work, and it is useless to seek peace, then we can only continue to fight. However, at this time, no one can relax anymore. There are dignitaries and nobles who secretly start to think about their own way back, and the so-called way back, since it can't be fleeing to another country, near places, who can compare to Nan Qi, what they want is wealth, honor and glory, not to go there. In the wilderness, it was like a hard life with blood and blood, and Li Hongyuan fought all the way, "burning, killing and looting", those rich, especially the wealthy families, none of them had a good end, maybe they still had a life, but , Falling into the dust from the clouds, getting used to the days when clothes come to reach for food and mouths open, nothing is left, how many people can survive?

Then there is only one way left.

Soon after, Li Hongyuan received news that someone in Southern Qi was willing to secretly surrender to lead the way for the Qiyuan army, just to preserve the prosperity and wealth of the family.

For this kind of traitorous generation, Li Hongyuan's subordinates are only extremely contemptuous.

However, Li Hongyuan didn't feel much about this kind of person. He swallowed Nan Qi intentionally, but if he could go back sooner, it would be better. Don't look at his face now, but there is another kind of hostility in his heart. , If you can't go back for a day, you can't go away for a day. The longer the time goes, the more Nan Qi will suffer from this ill-will. In the end, Zuo was just thinking about his wife deeply, and there seemed to be nothing that could not be explained.

Since someone sent it up for Li Hongyuan to use, Li Hongyuan naturally has no reason not to accept it.

It's just a promise of glory and wealth, but it's not that he can't afford it, it's just that you have to be able to keep it.

Therefore, Li Hongyuan was able to let people reply, but, in the end, such a situation is not worthy of trust. If it is a trick, if you believe it at will, the harm will be your own people.

However, there are very few people in the world who can make Li Hongyuan trust him, and if they want to get benefits from him, they often need to let him taste ten times the benefits. There was only Jing Wan alone.

In this way, in the battle of Southern Qi again, after passing through the city, the city gates have already opened before the city is attacked, and the generals and officials in the city file out, bowing their heads and calling themselves ministers, willing to enshrine Li Hongyuan as the new master.

However, Li Hongyuan didn't show up at all, leaving the rest to the people below.

Of course, this is not the case everywhere, and there are also a few who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and the number is not too small.

In a fortress, Li Hongyuan and the others finally encountered the hardest bone in the first battle of Nanqi. With the geographical advantage, Qiyuan's side has three times the number of people, and it has been difficult to capture for a long time. In the big tent, the subordinate generals When describing the identity of this person, it turned out that he was a rare general in Nanqi. However, he was too upright and upright, and he was framed by others. Although he did not lose his life, he was also dismissed. Living in the countryside, Nanqi is probably no longer useful. General, only to re-enable this person, otherwise, Qiyuan's army should have encountered it long ago, instead of waiting until this time.

In fact, needless to say, Li Hongyuan knew who his opponent was when he fought for the first time, because he knew that after the first success, he had ordered a temporary withdrawal of the army. Passing the hand, speaking, this person is like the great sage king of the Western Huns. However, this person is even more difficult to deal with because he has no ambition, even if he is treated lightly by the monarch, he has no resentment. All the blood was handed over to this piece of rivers and mountains in Nan Qi, and as long as he was needed, he could go into battle at any time.

How difficult it should be for someone who has no selfish desires.

In the previous life of Li Hongyuan, he spent more than half of the time on this battlefield in Nan Qi fighting against this person. In the end, he won, and Nan Qi was basically disabled, so Li Hongyuan withdrew from Nan Qi. Now, Li Hongyuan has no intention of directly confronting the opponent. It's not because of fear, but because he doesn't want to make unnecessary sacrifices. You must know that Qiyuan's soldiers have suffered too many casualties. , making money is not easy.

Speaking of which, this person's weakness is also quite obvious. He couldn't use it in the past life, but it is too simple to use it in this life. Well planned, it can be fatal in one blow.

To put it bluntly, it was because he had no desire or desire, not to mention those Nanqi people who had helped Li Hongyuan long ago, the people around him were not necessarily the same as him. They were not afraid of death at all. And it's too upright and righteous, and there are naturally many inappropriate places in dealing with people. Like this, being stabbed in the back is not a strange thing.

Li Hongyuan can also be regarded as a person who cherishes talents. However, he is destined to not be able to use it for himself, so there is no need to spend more time on arranging things and going to sleep lacking interest.

see your own emperor

With this appearance, the people below looked at each other in dismay, wondering why the emperor didn't care much about such a person.

He Shihai, who was originally extremely excited and ready to fight, also seemed to be poured a basin of cold water, and the boiling blood cooled down a lot.

Forget it, from the start of the war with Nanqi, even if there is a defeat, the people below are greedy for merit and did not act according to Li Hongyuan's orders, and they have already been dealt with. Besides, there have been no mistakes in the emperor's layout. , even if it is confusing at some point, but after looking at it later, it only makes people applaud.

Forget it, the emperor must know what to do.

A few days later, Li Hongyuan reorganized his army, and the troops approached the west of the city.

On the city wall, the general was condescending, his face full of resoluteness, and his whole body was full of uprightness. A pair of tiger eyes looked at Li Hongyuan. He was about to shout, but suddenly a person appeared behind him. He opened his mouth and closed it again, with disbelief in his eyes, turning his head, glare.

What happened, you can probably guess without looking at it.

However, some people may want to use this person as a gift of surrender. However, there was a brief fight on the top of the city, and then a person fell from the top of the city. Overflowing, his eyes are round and round, and the short is dead. Speaking of which, among the hundreds of thousands of people under Li Hongyuan's command, there is no one who has never seen a dead person. However, seeing this person's four appearances, he still can't stop his heart palpitations. A generation of loyal souls died so incomprehensibly.

Li Hongyuan has no waves in the ancient well. To this extent, it has no effect on him. However, there is still a bit of emotion in my heart, but it's just disappointment. This man gave him a lot of embarrassment in his previous life. Now, he just died. There are more than 100,000 soldiers in Nanqi stationed here, even if they are traitors. It couldn't be all, he didn't fight, didn't think about the soldiers who were loyal to him, and just died for the country... No, maybe he knew it was irreparable, he died directly, maybe it was for his soldiers.

The city gate was quickly opened, and people from the city filed out, and someone stepped forward, trying to drag the man's body away.

"Bury it thickly." Li Hongyuan opened his mouth with a rare reverence.

Hearing this, all the generals of Qi Yuan couldn't help but look at him. This was the first time after entering the Southern Qi, so the emperor really had a slightly different opinion on this person? !

On the other hand, Nan Qi strode towards Li Hongyuan, who was also another person who had just appeared at the top of the city. His feet paused, and his face was a little stiff.

It is only natural that the ruler of a country loves loyal people.

The latter things are not as simple to deal with as before. The loyal generals lead loyal soldiers, and the people whom I admired die like this. Naturally, many people will be jealous and want to avenge them, Qiyuan people. It should be killed, and the rebels in Nanqi should be killed even more!

Perhaps it was expected, so Li Hongyuan ordered that he would not enter the city for the time being, and let the people of Nan Qi fight first.

Speaking of which, there are too many people who have surrendered. In order to better bring Nanqi under its control in the future, these people naturally cannot be cut down. Similarly, they cannot be easily incorporated and then continue to attack Nanqi. Therefore, they become a group of white people. Eating and drinking will waste the "waste" of their manpower, waste, or die, anyway, they killed themselves.

With Li Hongyuan paying such attention, the others just pretended not to know and remained silent.

To be honest, according to their understanding of their own emperor, this way, after each battle, it is very peaceful. Perhaps the means seem to be too kind, but it is really unexpected. Kindness is not a bad thing, but there is no absolute Shocked, afraid of being backlashed.

Originally, in their opinion, even if the emperor ordered the massacre, it would not be unexpected.

It was He Shihai, the second-hand man, who asked directly, stupidly, and a group of people wanted to beat him.

Li Hongyuan glanced at him lightly, "Before the fight, the people of the enemy country, after the fight, the people of Qiyuan, the territory of Qiyuan will be more vast in the future, and there are not a few places with vast land and sparsely populated areas, even now, the northwest also needs a lot of manpower , they have all been killed, and you will take your soldiers to open up wasteland and farm land in the future?"

It was rare for Li Hongyuan to solve his puzzles, but he could also hear his ambitions from it. As for the possibility of backlash, didn't he expect it? Of course not, but, ordinary people, if no one takes the lead, as long as they can live on, who would think of raising an army to rebel? Li Hongyuan eliminated their leaders and left them with food that they could survive. Then, they gradually dispersed them and moved to others. At the same time, Jingwan also organized some people to go here. Come, and among these people, Jingwan also specially arranged "good educators", to put it bluntly, that is, brainwashing, and assimilated the original Nanqi people.

The husband and wife exchanged letters closely, and they said a lot of things, not just lingering words.

Since this battle, the next battle has become smoother and more successful.

Jingwan hugged the little prince who was more than three years old, "Tianlin, your father has captured the capital of Southern Qi, and he will be back soon." His eyes were gentle, and his thoughts were hidden.
