Chapter 168: A multi-pronged approach

The imperial capital of the Great Liang.

Zhu Wen stood by the window with his hands in his hands, and the three generals stood behind him.

"Where is that man now?"

"Back to my lord, that person entered the southwest wilderness three months ago, disappeared, and there is no news back to Yuzhou City."

"What are the actions of those Jianghu sects?"

"Back to my lord, Li Cunxiao of Tongwen Hall appeared in Yuzhou City half a month ago, and after staying for a few days, he entered Cangliang Mountain with a woman, and then disappeared; There was no movement in the Phantom Sound Pavilion, and there was some movement on the side of the Hidden Soldier Valley, but the details were unknown. However, Shen Luoyun, the master of Ling Tian Pavilion, had also led people to appear a few times, and judging by his direction, he should also be going to the Southwest Wilderness. ”

Zhu Wen's face was gloomy, and the fist in the sleeve of his robe slowly clenched, and then slowly released.

"How is Wang Yanzhang's injury?"

"Back to my lord, General Wang is still sick at home and has never been to the court."

Zhu Wen sighed lightly and remained silent for a long time.

The three generals just stood there, not even daring to come out.

After a long time, Zhu Wen slowly spoke:

"Wait a minute, get out of the way."

"The ministers are leaving."

As if they had been pardoned, the three of them bowed their hands and retreated.

They all know Zhu Wen's character, and even before he came, he had already explained his "last words" to his family, worried that the head on his neck might not be saved.

Since Long Chengyan took Yuzhou City to join Qiankun Hall, Zhu Wen's temperament has also changed a lot, and the habit of killing people at every turn seems to have disappeared all at once.

Zhu Wen is absurd and unpretentious, but he is not a mediocre person, otherwise it would be impossible to lay down this great beam.

When he sits firmly in the country, he can naturally act with his sex, wanton and debauchery, and kill people at every turn.

But not anymore.

His son does not have such means as him, and if he governs the peaceful and prosperous times, he can barely do it, but he is not able to defend the territory and open up the territory.

Moreover, the enemy he has to face now is still Long Chengyan, who is known as "Zhishuai".

Originally, a Yuzhou city was indeed nothing to worry about, no matter how powerful Long Chengyan was, just relying on that 2,000-strong "Battle Sky Army" was not enough to fight against Daliang.

From ancient times to the present, fighting a war is fighting for money, and it is impossible for him to save his savings over the years; Without the military expenses given by Zhu Wen, he couldn't even support the original defenders of Yuzhou City, how could he provide the supply of the Zhantian Army?

But all this was broken by the guy named Liu Wei.

It is impossible for Zhu Wen not to know about Long Chengyan's large-scale recruitment of soldiers and expansion of the army in Yuzhou City.

In less than three months, the army of Yuzhou City has exceeded 15,000 people, and this is on the premise of not counting the 2,000 Zhantian army.

As for the original old and weak remnants, they were all dismissed by Long Chengyan and expelled from Yuzhou City.

Zhu Wen knew very well that with Long Chengyan's ability, it only took three or five months for these fifteen thousand people to grow into a tiger and wolf army with one as ten.

Wang Yanzhang has been holding on to his illness, which makes Zhu Wen very dissatisfied, thinking that he is avoiding it for an excuse, and he does not dare or does not want to go into battle.

If the gaffe does not continue to develop, even if Long Chengyan has 20,000 people in his hands, Zhu Wen is not afraid at all.

However, now that Liu Wei has gone to the southwest wilderness,

What is he doing there?

What if you go to unite with the barbarians to invade Daliang?

In this regard, Zhu Wen has no way to feel at ease, and must be careful.

If you really want to recapture Yuzhou now, it is not completely impossible, even if you use a bunch of people, you can recapture Yuzhou City.

However, Zhu Wen does not want a dead city, let alone a pile of rubble.

Moreover, he didn't want to kill Long Chengyan, but planned to continue to keep this person.

Because, for the time being, he has not found someone who can replace Long Chengyan, and everything he has done before is just to control him.

If you really want to kill him, Zhu Wen can do it at any time.

The fact that a city of Yuzhou is not stable at all Liu Wei knows better than Zhu Wen in his heart that in order to be able to have a stronger force in the shortest possible time, he must take a multi-pronged approach!

There are a total of eight barbarian tribes around the Guyue Clan, Liu Wei asked Zariji to lead people to "persuade" them one by one, if they are willing to form an alliance with the Guyue Clan, then they can "share" all the resources with the Guyue Clan, and in most cases, they can still decide the things in the clan independently, only when war occurs, they need to obey the arrangement and dispatch.

Of course, this time it was "persuasion", so even if they refused, nothing would happen.

However, there is no guarantee that something will happen in the future.

In the entire Southwest Wilderness, the combat power of the Poor Qi Clan is also one of the best, and if it really starts, it is not impossible to unify the wilderness.

It's just that the successive patriarchs of the Qiqi clan don't seem to think about this aspect at all, as long as others don't provoke them, they generally won't use force.

Unless the opponent has something in their hands that they really want to get, it will invite them to attack.

Therefore, although the poor Qi clan is strong in combat, they lack ambition and have no clear goals and directions.

Liu Wei had indeed thought of unifying the entire Southwest Wilderness by means of conquest, but he was quickly denied by himself.

In the current situation, if he wants to complete reunification by force, the first point is that it will take too long, and he will not have enough time.

Because at the same time as he made a move, Zhu Wen of the Great Liang would naturally not be idle, and honestly waited for him to bring someone back.

Secondly, these barbarians will not surrender if they can't fight like in the Central Plains, and even if one party wants to surrender, the other side will not agree, and there will be extinction at every turn.

Zhu Wen didn't want a ruined Yuzhou City, and Liu Wei didn't want an empty mountain.

So, "forming an alliance" is the best option.

However, when forming an alliance is an alliance, the primary and secondary relationships still need to be distinguished; Moreover, this alliance is not based on fairness, but is a combination of the lure of interest and the deterrence of force.

The fragility of an alliance based on this foundation can be imagined.

Therefore, the alliance is actually only a stopgap measure, and after the alliance is completed, the next plan is to purge a group of "ideas" of the chiefs and main figures of various ethnic groups, and set an example for others to further consolidate the solidity of this "alliance".

As for how to develop next, it will be necessary to see the timing of the time.

The closest to the Guyue Clan is the Blue Wolf Clan, the clan is only about three or four thousand people, and the combat effectiveness is quite strong, and it has always been able to get along with the Guyue Clan, the fundamental reason is that the Guyue Clan has the kind of weapon that can fire ten thousand arrows in its hands, and I am afraid that it has already been swallowed by the Blue Wolf Clan.

There was no surprise at all, Zariji was unfavorable, and the first one of the Blue Wolf Clan rejected Liu Wei's alliance proposal, and his attitude was very tough.

I have to say that although Zariji is simple-minded, he respects Liu Wei very much; Although Liu Wei accepted him as an apprentice in a daze and did not teach him anything, he obeyed Liu Wei's words.

Otherwise, after the blue wolf clan said no, he would immediately order an attack......
