Chapter 216: Interests come first

"Nanli's side, my lord, according to your opinion, can Nanli survive the siege of so many countries this time?"

Although the little emperor is young and intelligent, his understanding of war is still only at the stage of a layman, and he only sees the countries on the continent at present.

The Central Plains countries had already formed a coalition of 200,000 troops to go south to crusade against Nanli, and the Dongxun Empire, which shared the imperial title with their Beigen Empire, also participated in this battle against the Nanli Empire.

Not to mention, among the five major dynasties, the most powerful Xikun Dynasty is also among them.

With such a mighty crusade, the little emperor was really a little worried about the prospects of Nanli.

If Nanli could not survive this battle, then whether or not the trade treaty between the two countries that they had painstakingly signed would only become a dead talk in the end, and would not be of any benefit to Beigen.

In fact, the little emperor's concern is very correct.

Because the Beigen Empire and the Nanli Empire signed a trade treaty in exchange for the Nanli Empire's solidarity with the Beigen royal family, in order to intimidate and deter several major families in the Beigen Empire.

But the first thing to achieve is that the Nanli Empire must at least maintain its current momentum.

If the Nanli Empire had not survived this war, it would have suffered a crushing defeat in the hands of the countries, and the Nanli Empire would have ceded land and paid compensation.

At that time, the momentum of the aid of the Nanli Empire, which had just lost the war, would be greatly reduced without thinking about it.

Suffice it to say, all the little emperor and the royal family of the Beigen Empire needed was a solidarity ally from the Nanli Empire, which was as powerful as ever.

Rather than a southbound empire that has experienced a new defeat and is fading on the mainland.

Those families in the Beigen Empire are not fools, and the Nanli Empire that can make them a little worried will definitely not be the latter.

And after hearing the little emperor's question, Luo Yi smiled lightly, he shook his head slightly, and said

"Your Majesty, according to what the old minister saw, what His Majesty thought, in fact, there is no need, the Nanli Empire is more than enough to deal with those scum, although the old minister and others went to Nanli on this trip, and did not meet the Nanli Zhou prince and the old marshal of the Bai family, but the old minister still learned from some channels that these two are now each leading an army on the east and west sides to deal with the offensive of the Xikun and Dongxun Empire."

As soon as Luo Yi's words came out, the little emperor's heart was settled.

At this time, the names of Zhou Dunyi and the old handsome of the Bai family are often more reassuring than anything else.

Although neither the little emperor nor Luo Yi had seen the demeanor of Zhou Dunyi and the old marshal of the Bai family on the battlefield, this did not prevent them from retaining a sense of awe for the two existing marshals who left the south.

Besides, the people of the Beigen Empire are not fools.

According to the speed of the Nanli Empire, which is at ease, as if it has already prepared for war in advance, it is not difficult for Luo Yi to imagine.

The south is uneven from the sword saint.

Maybe he didn't get any poison at all.

All of this may be a bureau set up by the Nanli Empire.

A bureau that wants to pull all the countries around the Nanli Empire that covet the Nanli Empire into the pit.

As soon as Luo Yi thought of this in his heart, he couldn't help but shiver all over his body.

It's a bit scary.

This time, the great war that swept nearly half of the continent may be a bureau buried by the Nanli Empire.

Luo Yi didn't dare to imagine the intention of leaving the empire, because he only hoped that his idea was just a conjecture in his head now.

It's just that when I think of the surprisingly fast speed of the Nanli Empire's troop deployment, and the bizarre serious illness of the Nanli Sword Saint.

All of this is, really, a little too coincidental.

It's hard to believe that this is a logical thing to do.

If not, if it weren't for the Xikun Dynasty, where the five generals of the Protectorate used secret methods to probe the wind and injustice, the Xikun Dynasty would definitely not have sent troops to rush to promote the alliance in a hurry, and quickly wanted to take advantage of Nanli's failure to react to attack the Nanli Empire.

It's just a pity that the Nanli Empire seems to have been prepared for a long time, and it has already been deployed on the border with a lot more heavy troops than usual, which makes the vanguard army of the Xikun Dynasty not take the lead, but because of the strong garrison of Nanli, the vanguard army of the Xikun Dynasty has lost a lot of men and horses.

Especially when Luo Yi himself is a gifted monk, coupled with the experience he has gained from what he has experienced over the years.

He naturally knew that if those powerful monks wanted them to be infected with poison and seriously ill, it would be a fantasy.

Let's take him as an analogy.

Luo Yi's current cultivation is on the ninth grade, and he is actually only a foot away from that level, but his perception has reached the realm of a grandmaster, with his strength, he can fight with those top monks who are mainly fighting power, and it will be difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

His cultivation, looking at the Beigen Empire, is also a group of people who are at a high level of cultivation.

If you want to make a monk of his rank poisonous, ordinary poison is ineffective for him.

Because once a monk steps into the realm of the Nine Grades, most of the poisons in this world will not be able to cause any harm to the monk's body, even if it is those strange poisons, it is very difficult.

Of course, Nanli's Tianluo needle is a special case.

Cultivation is the ninth rank of Luo Yi is like this, not to mention the Nanli Sword Saint who is even higher than the top level.

There is a sentence that is very suitable for the current uneven wind.

The world is so big, it goes from you, you come and go freely, and no one stops it.

Unless the ancient gods come, there is no one on this continent who can be called the opponent of the uneven wind.

Let the wind uneven become poisonous.

Millennial poison?

Or is it ten thousand years of poison?

If it were that simple, those old poisons who specialized in poison would have already made Feng Buping die of poisoning.

In this matter, anyway, although it was said that the five major generals of the Xikun Dynasty had predicted some results, whether it was true or not, Luo Yi was not injured at all about the uneven wind now, and he had some firm thoughts about this possibility.

The wind is uneven, and he may be staying in a certain army in Nanli now, hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to give the coalition army a surprise blow.

Therefore, at this juncture, their Northern Gen Empire, for the sake of conservatism, is to sit on the shore and watch.

Anyway, in the end, whether Nanli won the war, or the coalition successfully defeated Nanli, it would not have much to do with their Beigen Empire.

If you help the coalition forces, the Nordem Empire will have very little benefit.

Let's take an analogy.

If the Beigen Empire sits on the shore and watches these two forces fight, and if it develops itself with peace of mind, when the war is over, the Beigen Empire can get two benefits.

But if the Beigen Empire is also involved, it will also help the coalition army and step on the south.

At that time, even if it wins, the benefits that the Beigen Empire can obtain will only be three points at most.

This is interesting, why did the Beigen Empire suffer a loss when it gained an extra profit?

That's because while the Beigen Empire is getting these three points of benefits, the coalition forces are also getting the remaining seven points of benefits.

And when the Beigen Empire removes the benefits gained from domestic development, the remaining benefits may only be a point.

A share of the benefits was obtained from the territory of the Southern Departure Empire, which was separated from the Beigen Empire by a Central Plains continent.

And the benefits obtained by the Xikun Dynasty and the Dongxun Empire in this battle can be quickly used to supplement themselves and develop their national strength.

Because these two countries are very close to the south and the empire, and the border is also bordering, the benefits that can be obtained will naturally be much more practical than those of the Beigen Empire.

In this way, it is equivalent to that the Beigen Empire has done a white job for the coalition countries this time, and it has obtained some trivial gadgets that are not painful, while the other coalition countries have obtained genuine benefits.

This was not conducive to the purpose of the development of the Nordemon Empire.

However, if you sit on the shore and look at it, it is just a plan that is simply in line with the general policy of the Beigen Empire.

For the Beigen royal family, for the little emperor, it is a stupid thing to sit on the shore and watch.

So at this time, the choice made by the little emperor was to secretly form an alliance with Nanli and assist Nanli.

If this matter is successful, whether the Beigen Empire gains benefits or not, it will be able to obtain the solidarity of the Nanli Empire.

Nanli is also an empire, and the reputation of the Nanli Empire has never been bad over the years, so how can it be a debt if it is just a solidarity?

At most, the Nanli Empire will only slightly disgust the Beigen Empire in this matter.

It's just that these are all expected by the little emperor and Luo Yi and others, and they are all acceptable to them.

As long as you can get support, it's all the better.

Besides, to be reasonable, the 50,000 iron cavalry that the little emperor now has on hand is just a local army in terms of establishment.

And what the little emperor has to do is to let this loyal iron cavalry gain some credit from this battle, and then he can use some small authority to change the establishment of this iron cavalry from the local army to the Beijing army that guards the capital, or rather, the forbidden army.

In this case, everything will be easy to do.

In this way, the hole cards that the little emperor of Beigen can completely master in the future will only become more and more.

Originally, the establishment of these 50,000 iron horsemen led to the fact that they could only be stationed at the border all these years, if something happened to the little emperor in the capital, and it happened that the nine horsemen of Yandi were divided at that time, then the existence of these 50,000 iron horses could suddenly be turned into nothingness.

Because at least in the Beigen Palace, the little emperor has no one to trust.

Those little eunuchs are still palace maids, and among the thousands of people, none of them are loyal to the little emperor and the Beigen royal family.

These minions, often outsiders only need to stuff some silver taels, or these minions meet the people of those families, and they will go up to the pole and do something for them.

Therefore, if the little emperor hadn't had the existence of Yandi Nine Horsemen now, he might have been murdered to death by the gods in the palace by now.

These things still happen many times in the royal family of Beigen.

Just like the father of the little emperor.

Nominally fell from his horse and died.

But the little emperor knew that his father had obviously died in the palace.

At that time, he saw it with his own eyes.

His father, the emperor, was stripped naked by a group of arrogant eunuchs, and then tortured to death by a knife.

That scene, the little emperor still remembers it vividly, and it is also because of that incident that the little emperor's dislike for those eunuchs has reached the maximum, and then, for those eunuchs who serve him on weekdays, the little emperor is really afraid that he will one day be treated by them with the posture of treating his father.

Fortunately, at that time, Yandi Jiuqi appeared in time, and Luo Yi came forward to protect his young self, and through the maneuvers of all parties, he supported himself on the throne.

Luo Yi and the little emperor no longer look like courtiers and emperors.

The relationship between the two is more like that between a nephew and an uncle.

"In that case, sir, I don't know, how long do you think it will take to go back?"

The little emperor opened his mouth slightly, sighed, he rubbed his temples for some reason, and his head was filled with irritability.

He was genuinely disgusted with these disgusting dirty deals at times.

The Beigen Empire itself was a powerful country that coexisted with the Nanli Empire, but because of the obstruction of these families, after taking over this power from his father, who had been abused to death, all he got was a monarchy that was dismembered into pieces.

The seal emperor is more in line with his current identity.

Luo Yi frowned, he began to think deeply, and after thinking for a while, Luo Yi said calmly

"Forgive the old minister for saying first, this goes south, the old minister thinks that the short is three or four months, and the long is half a year."

Luo Yi didn't understand the little emperor's worries.

It's not that in the next period of time, the two big hole cards in the little emperor's hand will all leave him for a while.

Yandi nine horsemen and 50,000 iron horses, these are the only two hole cards that the little emperor has to save his life and sit on the throne.

Once you lose these two big hole cards, you will face the ill-will of the domestic family.

The little emperor's next life is a bit difficult.
