Chapter Twenty-Three: Cowardice Without a Fight

Dongxun is located in the southeast of the mainland, a hundred years ago Taihao Fuxi founded the country, the capital of the country is Chengdu City, although the Dongxun country was elected as one of the three major countries by the mainland countries, but the military level of the Dongxun country, but even some small countries can not compare, even if there are some because of the rugged mountain roads on the border of the Dongxun country, resulting in a long supply line of time for army transfer, materials and grain, coupled with the strength of the neighbors of the Dongxun country and the nuisance of the barbarians in the east, so that the Fuxi clan had to deploy heavy troops on the border line of the two forces.

Even the Fuxi clan ordered the troops guarding against the Dongyi forces, saying that even if there was turmoil in the country, they should not leave the defense line without permission.

As a result, the number of troops that can be mobilized to participate in military operations throughout the year is only tens of thousands at most, and in the past hundred years, there has not been a single qualified handsome.

Unlike their neighbor Nanli, the Bai family has gone through several generations and produced three marshals and dozens of generals. There is no one in Dongxun, even if it is a general, there are only a few generals who have seen the past.

However, this is also because the establishment of the Dongxun country is mainly based on divination, supplemented by military affairs, which can be seen from the fact that at that time, the Fuxi clan only brought thousands of armor soldiers to conquer the south and the north in this land with mixed strength and strength at that time.

However, the reason why Dongxun's military level can only be compared with that of small countries is not because of the low physical fitness of the soldiers, because which of the inhabitants of this land is not athletic, has been tested by tigers, leopards, scorpions and mosquitoes in the jungle, and stands out from them?

It is only to blame that most of the people did not get a proper education, when the Fuxi clan was fighting with those aborigines here, those aborigines could not even stand up straight, and when the two sides charged at each other, once they lost a little, they all scattered, as if their thoughts on fighting were still in the primitive period.

Even if the Fuxi clan spent a hundred years working hard, they could only ensure that the children in this part of Chengdu City had books to read and let them get an education.

Who let the territory of Dongxun be full of high mountains, grass and trees, ordinary people can only rely on their own feet to travel between the two places, and on the way to the road, they have to be careful of the respective poisons that appear next to them from time to time.

But after all, it is recognized as one of the three major powers, although all kinds of domestic troubles can not be solved in a short time, but the Taoist of Dongxun is extremely prosperous, just on behalf of the top combat power of the monks of Dongxun, among the three people, two of them are Taoist priests, one of them is now in a high position above the Dongxun court, and the other is the old Taoist priest of the Taoist Temple outside Chengdu.

As the saying goes, the Tao gives birth to all things, and these two old Taoist priests have profound Taoism, one of them is already the root of creation, and the other is about to become the foundation of education.

Relying on the magic of the Fuxi clan, the Dongxun country can always quietly escape from various natural and man-made disasters, and this Fuxi clan, that is, why the Dongxun can stand on one of the three major countries, is the biggest hole card.

Nan has left the old ancestor Suiren clan, how domineering is it? Even the Emperor Taiyi could only fight with him and was forced to bow his head, and the gods of the five directions were all slaughtered, leaving a trace of the soul alive in the world, but now why can it only be called the head of the three kingdoms? And not the only power?

It's not because Nanli has been fighting for the throne fiercely for nearly a hundred years, and almost every generation of throne competition has greatly damaged the national strength, and even when the succession to the throne in recent generations has attracted the alliance of all countries to crusade, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of a sword saint wind and a sword to deter the countries, I'm afraid that Nanli can't even enter the threshold of the three major countries now.

A virtuous monarch has a huge impact on a big country, or a small country, and the role of Fu Xi is also reflected here, as the founding monarch, he did not know how many monarchs of the countries who survived to death, his life span and his wisdom, these two are the biggest hole cards that he can make Dongxun dominate one side.

Originally, according to the original plan of the Fuxi clan, Dongxun still had to bury his head in developing himself for fifty years in order to catch up with the average strength of the Central Plains countries, after all, they Dongxun was located in the southeast, and there was no major war in a hundred years, and this policy was originally to continue.

However, a few days before Dongxun planted in the Nanli Imperial Family, news came that the Sword Saint Feng was seriously injured in an accident and could not be cured in a short time, although this matter was ordered to block this information the moment he learned about it, but somehow, it finally reached the ears of some people.

Suddenly, all the people in the Dongxun court were like a fried pot, especially those officials of the Shaozhuang faction led by the military department Shangshu, who vigorously encouraged everyone, wanting to send troops to unite the countries to attack Nanli.

Dongxun, who has already experienced a hundred years of peace, in fact, the young people of Dongxun have long been extremely eager for war, but how can the neighboring country Nanli throw them several streets at various levels, especially the older generation who are intimidated by the coercion of the uneven wind and one person dare not have any thoughts about Nanli.

But now the officials above the Dongxun court have already changed one stubble after another, and now there are almost three or four percent of them are young people, and their desire for war has long been unbearable, and most of them are sarcastic about the sword saints that the older generation said, thinking that the older generation of people are too narrow-minded, and they are casually frightened by a person.

In their eyes now, there is only the word war.

Although Fu Xi is the emperor, but his temperament is because of the torment of the years, he slowly has a little cowardice, although he also knows that this matter can not be decided, but as the days pass, the voice of launching a surprise war against Nanli is getting louder and louder.

Only then did the Fu Xi clan make up their minds to discuss this matter clearly in the court, and make a decision as soon as possible, whether it was war or peace.

But the night before the court meeting, Fu Xi was assassinated by a dangerous assassination.

As a result of the assassination, Fuxi fell unconscious, and the Assassin committed suicide.

This was supposed to be a thorough investigation of whether there were any Assassins in Chengdu City, but the Assassin had written these words on the walls with his own blood before committing suicide.

The assassin, the righteous man of the south

This line of words was like a lead, which instantly ignited those officials who were already in the main battle faction, and their belligerent spirit was even stronger, even if some of the original neutral factions had joined the main battle faction at this time.

Although many people can see that the flaw in this matter is too big, but at this juncture, the Fu Xi clan is unconscious, and the arrogance of those main battle factions is becoming more and more arrogant, and they can't wait to be ready to go the next day.

In an official residence in Chengdu, a group of young officials are gathering to drink and have fun.

The topic of conversation between them is nothing more than complaining about the cowardice of the older generation in the court, and one by one they are frightened by the strength of Nanli on the surface.

From time to time, some of these people impassionedly said that if they let themselves bring a number of soldiers and horses, they would definitely be able to take advantage of Nanli's unpreparedness to kill all the way to Jinling City, coerce Nanli to sign an alliance under the city, and strengthen his momentum in Dongxun.

In their opinion, at this time, whether it is the Fuxi clan assassinated by the Nanli people or not, this can be an excuse for them to attack Nanli.

At this time, on the other side, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, several officials over half a hundred years old were drinking tea and discussing matters in the house.

Everyone in their presence was an old fox who had been immersed in the sea for decades, and who couldn't see that there must be a mastermind behind this assassination, they could even deduce who was the most likely mastermind behind this assassination in Chengdu City.

But in the end, whether or not he knew who that person was, it didn't help, because Fu Xi was now unconscious, and the mastermind behind the scenes himself could let his dead soldiers quietly enter the palace and complete the assassination mission and finally write that line.

The identity of this person, their old ministers, has long been tacit.

In the end, I could only sigh in unison

The greatest help of the Lord and the faction, the Fu Xi clan, was already in a coma, and they alone could not stop the will of the Manchu officials.

Moreover, it is also the will of the One.

Several old ministers glanced at each other, their eyes were helpless, they couldn't do anything at this time.

This gear has already begun to run, and none of them wants to be the first victims of this gear.

What's more, even if the wind is uneven and not seriously injured, Nanli can't take what they do, and they are called a poor country by the Central Plains countries here.

It's a big deal to get south away from Nagong in the end.
