......

As the head of the thirteen prefectures, the punishment of the dignified town and the state government is far away, and of course he can see the hidden meaning of the holy decree in the hands of the Ministry of Rites.

Harmony is life, and division is death.

However, Xing Yuanguo's understanding of this sentence is higher than Fang Zheng's words, and this level is the intersection of countries and states.

It is not uncommon in history for a powerful country to turn some of the more complex regions or small countries around it into vassals.

There are many reasons, sometimes because the country has just been founded, and sometimes it is done temporarily for the sake of recuperation, and sometimes it is because of different regional cultures, in order to appease the people and ensure the development of national strength.

The relationship between the Southern Regions and Great Xia is naturally the latter.

Culture, beliefs.

No matter how much military effort it takes for Great Xia to conquer the Southern Regions, even if it can really be defeated, Great Xia will not do so, because the difference in the culture of the Southern Regions represents a difference in ideology and belief.

If it is governed according to the culture of Great Xia.

The only possibility is that riots are everywhere, continuous battles, and heavy consumption of manpower and material resources, but the final result is that the people are not living.

Saint Lin Mubai knew this, how could Xing Yuanguo not know this?

As for the way in which the nations intersect......

There is no doubt that as long as the monarch of the Holy Ming will adopt the method of 'grace and power', but no matter how you do it, there will definitely be 'grace' or 'majesty'.

The good or bad of the two will be ignored for the time being.

But one thing is certain, Great Xia does not want to annex the Southern Regions, then, for Great Xia, what he cares about is not profit, but long-term.

When it comes to longevity, smart people naturally choose the latter.

And in fact, the Great Xia Dynasty has indeed done this over the years.

Even if the Southern Regions are now at war with Great Xia, even if the Southern Regions have already emerged with the idea of becoming an independent emperor, Great Xia will still not hesitate to choose the latter.

The reason is simple.

For the sake of longevity.

This is not an empty phrase.

The Southern Regions are too special.

Shi Wei?

How?

Do you send a few envoys to shout a few words? Or send tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison them? The former is useless, and the latter is useless, and the latter has suffered a huge loss of national strength.

Then, the most direct way to do it is to kill!

Kill until you dare not resist.

But how many people are there in the Southern Regions? It is already a vast and sparsely populated area, and if you kill another batch, there will only be one situation, and it will become a wasteland.

In this way, the method of dealing with the friendship between the Southern Regions and the states of Great Xia is clear, and grace is the only option.

Speaking of grace.

Of course, the most clever method is not gold, silver and jewelry, and the beautiful women send food and grass every day, but send charcoal in the snow at the most critical moment.

When Xing Yuanguo saw the sentence in the holy decree, "Harmony leads to life, and division leads to death", he understood the meaning of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai sending the Ministry of Rites Shangshu.

Wait!

Wait for the time to "send charcoal in the snow".

The appearance of Fang Zhengzhi made the war between Great Xia and the Southern Regions happen in advance, and on the surface, it seems to have pushed Great Xia into an extremely passive situation.

The reverse is true......

It also minimizes the role of Great Xia in the Southern Regions war.

The Dingshan Pass was broken, and Great Xia was unable to send troops to reinforce it, which was equivalent to cutting off the back road, and when the time was not ripe, it was also impossible for the prince's soldiers to rush to the Han Ape Tribe, because there was no reason at all.

The martial arts test is not over.

But the prince went to the Han Ape tribe to join the competition between Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Hao, is it possible? Isn't this a clear way to tell the Southern Regions that I am coming to attack your Holy Mountain City?

Therefore, when the Holy Lord Lin Mubai received the news that Dingshan Pass was broken, he could already foresee the next direction of this war.

The prince's soldiers must be surrounded, and the Han Ape tribe will be seriously damaged in the end, no matter who wins or loses, and in the best case, it is to take a "lonely city".

Moreover, it is still a "lonely city" that will be broken sooner or later.

In such cases.

Whether it is the Southern Regions or the Demon Clan, it is no longer possible to regard the little soldiers of Great Xia as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, but will immediately implement the next plan.

Get a head start.

In this way, Great Xia changed from the original "light" to "dark".

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.

Originally, the sandpiper clam was Daxia and the Southern Regions, and the demons sat peacefully in the position of the fisherman, but in the blink of an eye, the sandpiper mussels became the Southern Regions and the demons, but Daxia became a "fisherman" hidden in the dark.

Who would dare to say that this is not a good thing?

After seeing the holy decree, Xing Yuanguo knew the meaning of the saint, so he naturally took on the role of watching the battle with peace of mind, and was ready to show grace to the Southern Regions at any time.

Next......

It's simple.

If you want to watch the battle, of course, it is impossible to stay in the Han Ape Tribe, after all, there is no battle there at all, and it is impossible to march in a large way, so Xingyuan Kingdom took the two elites of the Mountain Breaker Army and the Dragon Guard to the Holy Mountain City.

As he expected.

The Holy Mountain City had a predicted war.

Moreover, the fight was very fierce.

The Southern Regions were also defeated by the demons as expected, but what made Xingyuan Kingdom a little unclear was why the Southern Regions could hold out for so long when there was a huge disparity in strength and strength?

And......

What made him even more incomprehensible was that while fighting, the two sides actually had a truce.

Of course, this is not the most exaggerated, the most exaggerated thing is that the demons suddenly ran away when they had an absolute advantage.

Xing Yuanguo was really a little stunned at that time.

He has very clear military intelligence, so he knows very well that there are 80,000 elites buried outside the Holy Mountain City in the Southern Regions, but judging from the current situation, 80,000 elites are obviously not enough.

In other words, at best, it is a lose-lose situation.

Then, of course, Xing Qingsui's plan is to wait until the 80,000 elites counterattack the demon clan, the two sides fight fiercely, and the Southern Regions King City looks like it has been breached......

He led the army into the royal city like nectar from the sky, snatched the king of the Southern Regions and the prince and left.

But the result?

The royal city is not broken!

80,000 soldiers didn't come!

The demons still ran away?!

It is still impossible for Xing Yuanguo to say that he is not a little confused.

In this case, of course, it is impossible for him to go in and "rob people" again, because at this time, if he goes in to rob the king and the prince of the Southern Regions, it is not a mercy, but a violence.

Xing Yuanguo is not impulsive.

On the contrary, he was very calm.

He didn't know what was going on between the demons and the Southern Regions, but he understood an eternal truth, and as a "fisherman", he had to be patient enough.

The Southern Regions Royal City is not broken, and the Southern Regions King and the Southern Regions Prince are also in the Royal City, so what is he afraid of?

Guard.

Hold until the demons turn around, waiting for the next opportunity.

Of course, while guarding the side, he also sent people to follow behind the demons, probe the direction in which the demon soldiers left, and start collecting information again.

Soon......

And he got the message back.

"Report the punishment, the direction of the demon race's march is in the direction of the Tieqiu tribe!"

"Iron Hill Tribe?" Xing Yuanguo's face was a little puzzled.

At the same time, his mind also quickly pondered, why did the demon clan run to the Iron Soldier Tribe in such a hurry? Is it the Iron Hill tribe that is fighting?

Impossible...... The Ironhill tribe has no soldiers...... Wait a minute, could it be that the 80,000 elites in the Southern Regions did not return to the Holy Mountain City to save the Holy Mountain City, but ran to the Tieqiu Tribe?

Why did you run to the Iron Soldier Tribe......

Oh no!

Xing Yuanguo was so experienced, in just a few blink of an eye, he guessed the trend of the battle situation, and understood what would happen in the Tieqiu tribe.

However, this also made two choices appear in front of Xing Yuanguo.

The first is to continue to defend the Holy Mountain City and wait for the opportunity, and the second is to rush to the Tieqiu tribe to reinforce the Southern Regions, and the first choice is to follow the holy will and avoid too many casualties.

The second option is against the will of the Divine Will, and there is also the possibility of total annihilation.

"Qing Sui, what do you think you should choose as a father?" Xing Yuanguo's eyes looked at Xing Qingsui, who was also frowning on the right side, and asked casually.

"This ...... The child thinks that we should rush to the Iron Hill Tribe!" Xing Qingsui's eyes flashed, and although he seemed to hesitate at first, he soon became extremely determined again.

"Where is Nangong Gongzi?" Xing Yuanguo didn't look at Xing Qingsui again, but turned his gaze to the left-hand side, and Nangong Hao, who looked calm as water.

"Nangong Hao is just a scholar, and everything is subject to punishment when he is transferred on the battlefield. ”

"Okay, pass on the order and rush to the Tieqiu tribe immediately!" Xing Yuanguo did not hesitate too much, and directly chose the second method that went against the holy will.

This has nothing to do with arrogance.

Just because ......

He is the punishment of the town and the country!

"Yes!" the herald immediately replied softly.

......

Fang Zhengzhi guessed that Xing Yuanguo would definitely lead the two elites of the Dragon Guard and the Mountain Breaker Army to the Holy Mountain City, and in fact, Xing Yuanguo did come.

Merely......

Gone again.

So, the results can be imagined.

Fang Zhengzhi did many ways to lure Xing Yuanguo to find him.

For example, in the process of leaving the royal city, he deliberately slowed down, and took off the heavy rattan armor on his body to hide his identity, and changed into his signature blue robe.

In his thoughts.

Since Xing Yuanguo came to Shengshan City to "wait for the rabbit", then, it should be necessary and certain to lose a few good secret sentinels and spies in the royal city, right?

However......

All the way to the gate of the royal city, Fang Zhengzhi still didn't gain anything.

"It turned out to be at the foot of the mountain. Fang Zhengzhi felt that he was still a little overestimated of Xing Yuanguo's hiding ability, didn't he understand the truth of darkness under the lamp?

The most dangerous place is the safest place!

It's written in ancient books.

You are still a prisoner of the dignified state government, and you actually hid far away at the foot of the holy mountain city? Can't you have a little guts?

Fang Zhengzhi was a little disdainful of Xingyuanguo's arrangement.

Still, he said it was understandable.

In order to lure out the secret sentinels and spies from the royal city to the foot of the mountain, Fang Zhengzhi once again resorted to the method of "luring the snake out", such as deliberately going to a dark place, and deliberately making a loud and strange laugh.

"Hahahaha......"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Giggle...... Woo woo ......"

“......”

All kinds of strange laughter, as long as it can be thought of, Fang Zhengzhi has tried all of them without exception, but what made him a little disappointed was ......

In addition to the strange expressions of Princess Shanyu and Shanling.

It's not useful.

The mountain is still the same mountain, but it is a silent mountain.

"Shizi, princess, what color do you all like?" Of course, Fang Zhengzhi did not give up, and soon, he "wittily" shouted out the words Shizi and princess.

It was almost a roar.

He thinks that Xing Yuanguo is just shrugging his ears, or no matter how stupid he is, when he hears the words "prince and princess", he should always come out and take a look, right?

However......

It's still silent.

Except, Shan Ling and Princess Shan Yu have gone from being weird to convulsing expressions.

"Color?" Shan Ling just glanced at Fang Zhengzhi, and didn't even bother to answer, what time is it, this guy is still here to ask about color?

Shouldn't he have contacted Sergeant Daxia right now?

Coming out of the royal city, all the way to the present, it was almost to the foot of the holy mountain, but still not even a single soldier was seen.

Shan Ling really doubted whether what Fang Zhengzhi said was true.

A "spy" assigned by the Great Xia Emperor, but without a way to contact and echo the army, he would not believe it if he was killed.

Is it fake?

Tricked by this guy again?

Such a thought flashed in Shanling's heart more than once.

However, after all, he was still pressed down, because Fang Zhengzhi had a holy decree in his hand, and it was the holy decree of the Great Xia Emperor.

From Shanling's point of view.

Even if Fang Zhengzhi is so bold that he goes against the sky, he will never dare to have the courage to falsely pass on the holy order, because it is a big crime to be beheaded, or even punished by the Nine Clans.

No one dared to offend.

What's more, Fang Zhengzhi is still a fourth-grade official of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he has an unlimited future, it is impossible not to know this truth, and it is impossible to risk his life.

Wait!

It was Shanling's decision, and he decided to wait until the foot of the mountain.

Of course, if at the foot of the mountain, Fang Zhengzhi still has no way to contact the Dragon Guardian and the Mountain Breaker Army, it can only mean that all of Fang Zhengzhi's words are lies.

There are no dragon guards and mountain breakers at all.

The 80,000 elites of the Iron Hill tribe have no hope of living at all.

So......

Does Fang Zhengcheng still have the meaning of living?

Shan Ling's eyes looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was swaggering on the ground and making a rattling sound, and his two fists slowly clenched and slowly released.

It's different from Shanling's idea.

Princess Shanyu didn't doubt that what Fang Zhengzhi said would be a lie.

She was just a little strange, why did Fang Zhengzhi suddenly remember to ask her what color she liked?

Or......

Do you want to give clothes to yourself?

However, the princess of the Southern Regions will accept the clothes given by this guy?

"I like white clothes, they should be pure white colors, not a little variegated, and the neckline should be a little lower, so that the neck can be longer......" Princess Shanyu was a little disdainful in her heart, but she still said the requirements in detail.

"Silly, the neckline is low, who will look at your neck?" Although Fang Zhengzhi didn't quite understand, he just asked a color, why did Princess Shanyu suddenly talk about clothes.

However, he still felt that he needed to correct the wrong thinking of the mountain rain princess.

(Those who offend our China will be punished even if they are far away!) )
