"Your Highness, although this negotiation was successfully resolved, the Qi State has a lot of opinions on us, otherwise they would not have let go of such a good opportunity to jointly send troops to the Song State with us." After everyone returned to Hanzhong City, Shi told the whole story of the negotiation.

At this time, Shi Luosheng was very sober and sat on the main seat, whether he was really drunk outside the city just now, it seems that only he knows.

"My father-in-law's luck is really good, if it wasn't for Gonggong Hong who appeared with Jiang Wushuang's edict last time, maybe Shouchun would have been taken down by us now. This time, Qi refused to send troops, and let him escape again. Shi Luosheng was a little disappointed.

"If the Qi country does not send troops, there is not much hope that we will win by sending troops alone, so it is better to give up. We should seize the time to resume production and improve economic development. ”

"That's the only way, but while developing the economy, we can also make some fuss about Yan Chixing."

"Yan Chixing is attacking Jiangdu City, I heard that Deng Yuanjue has sent Wu Teng to the rescue, they are racing against time, once Wu Teng arrives, with his defensive ability, coupled with the solidity of Jiangdu City, even Yan Chixing will be difficult to capture." Hearing Shi Luosheng mention Yan Chixing, Yang Yi continued to talk about the situation of the two sides.

"If Yan Chixing can't take Jiangdu, then a small Yanzhou will be eaten by Deng Yuanjue in a short time, the enemy's enemy is a friend, we have to find a way to help him."

"Does Your Highness mean to let General Gao send troops?" Yang Yi asked with some curiosity.

Shi Luosheng shook his head: "No, I said that Qin Di has no plans to use troops outside the country within two years. It doesn't have to be a soldier to help Yan Chixing, you can also start from other places. ”

"What does Your Highness mean by Wu Teng?" Yang Yi reacted suddenly.

Shi Luosheng nodded: "Our Tianluo Sect should still have a lot of masters in Chu Land, right?" You ordered them to intercept and kill Wu Teng, it is best to assassinate him, even if they can't, they must find a way to drag him down, and they can't let him reach Jiangdu easily. In addition, if you go to Yan Chixing's camp in person, I don't think he will refuse to form an alliance with us, right? ”

"We offered to form an alliance with him, he should have asked for it, how could he refuse, his subordinates will leave for Jiangdu tonight." Yang Yi agreed with a smile.

"Although the State of Qi has recognized our right to rule the Yan Land, Hanzhong, as the front line, still has to be guarded by heavy troops. General Niu, after we leave, you will serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong, and you will be responsible for all major military and political affairs. ”

"The last general will be ordered, and His Royal Highness Xie will be promoted." Niu Qingyuan said overjoyed.

"Teacher Ling, you can also go back to Rongcheng with us, there will be no more war in the next two years, and I need you to train a forbidden army of 100,000 people during this time. Two years later, when the Qi and Song dynasties had regained their national strength, the world would have disputes again. ”

"The last general commands." After Shi Luosheng established himself as the queen, Ling Zhen was the same as Shi Zhen, no longer calling him by his name, but changed his name to His Royal Highness.

"Father, something is wrong, just now there is news from the front, General Wu on the way to Jiangdu, encountered a group of assassins of unknown origin, they are all extremely high in martial arts, the accompanying Tiandaomen master is not an opponent at all, General Wu was also seriously injured, and reluctantly fled to Chuzhou City." In the general's mansion in Jianye City, Deng Wenhao reported to Deng Yuanjue with a battle report in his hand.

"How can there be so many masters in the territory of Chudi? Have you found out who the other person is? Deng Yuanjue's face was very ugly, and Wu Teng's assassination at this time meant that Jiangdu, the second largest city in Chu, might be lost because of this.

Deng Wenhao shook his head: "The other party is elusive, four of the six Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were killed in battle, and the other two are also unconscious now, and they don't know the characteristics of the other party for the time being, but now Yan Chixing is attacking Jiangdu, and the assassin should be the people of the Condor Castle." ”

"Among the original five major sects, the Hidden Star Sect was the first to be bulldozed by a joint effort, and then the Yunluo Mountain Villa and the Ghost Shadow Sect were also wiped out, and the remaining Tianqi Sect had just experienced civil strife, and two of the four major Protector Dharma Kings had fled, and it was impossible for them to assassinate Wu Teng at this time. As for the Divine Eagle Castle, they didn't have the strength to hit Wu Teng hard, and only the Tianluo Sect, which had risen in recent years, could do so. Deng Yuanjue reasoned.

"Tianluo Sect?" Deng Wenhao was startled at first, and then thought of the reason: "Could it be that they have already formed an alliance with Yan Chixing to deal with us together?" ”

"Although the Tianluo Sect temporarily suppressed the contradictions with the Qi State, in the end the two sides did not reach an alliance. They retreated to the next best thing, and it was normal for them to find an alliance with Yan Chixing. And Yan Chixing's situation is similar to Xiang Chu's, so naturally he will not refuse. ”

"General Wu has been seriously wounded and can no longer go to Jiangdu to garrison. And Jiangdu is a big matter, so I might as well take over from General Wu to defend the city now. ”

"I'm afraid it's too late, it will take at least a month for Jianye to go to Jiangdu, and when you arrive, Jiangdu will also fall into the hands of Yan Chixing." Deng Yuanjue's tone was also a little helpless: "Forget it, let Wu Teng stay in Chuzhou to recuperate for the time being, as long as Yan Chixing no longer marches into Shouchun, let him go for the time being." After the country is settled, I will slowly clean him up. ”

"It's really cheap for him, but Wu Changchen is not the opponent of the eldest brother, except for Liaocheng and Handan, most of Yanzhou has fallen into our hands." Deng Wenhao said angrily.

"Speaking of Wen Ying, we haven't seen each other for almost ten years, and he has been stationed in Yulin all these years, sandwiched between the Great Song Dynasty and the Qin State, which is really bitter for him." Deng Yuanjue misses his eldest son a little.

Seeing this, Deng Wenhao proposed: "Since my father misses my eldest brother, presumably the eldest brother is the same, why don't you go to Yulin to replace him, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”

"That's fine, after you go, you have to hurry up and train the army, two years later, when our national strength recovers, there will be a big war with the Tianluo Sect." Deng Yuanjue already knew that Yuan Chengce and Gao Yi had taken Xiao Yu to the Tianluo Sect, and Xiao Yu was a security hazard to him, and he must be arrested and executed.

"Father, rest assured, the commander of the Tianluo Sect in Qin is Gao Kegong, he is just a defeated general, not a child's opponent." Deng Wenhao didn't take Gao Kegong in his eyes at all.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, Luosheng is a scheming person, he won't know how many catties Gao Kegong has, let him guard Qin Di must have another deep meaning." Deng Yuanjue admonished again.

This time, Deng Wenhao did not refute, and nodded in agreement.

Less than half a month after he left, the news of the loss of Jiangdu came. However, after Yan Chixing moved his base camp to Jiangdu, he did not continue to use troops, but chose a truce.

From this moment on, the last fire of war on the mainland was officially extinguished, and since then it has entered a new stage of peace, but no one can say how long this peace will last.

Time flies, time flies, and two years pass quickly. Among the three major forces on the mainland, the best developed is of course the Tianluo Sect, and the two places of Yan and Qin have not only completely recovered to the pre-war level, but also surpassed.

Especially in Xichuan, which is the land of abundance, coupled with the strong economic policy implemented by Shi Pre, it has become one of the richest places in the mainland.

In Qindi, the lives of the people have also undergone earth-shaking changes. Shi Luosheng left Wang Chiji, Yin Baoli and others behind, with the original intention of preventing accidents.

Unexpectedly, these four people passed on all their experience of living overseas to the local people, letting them know that there was such a life.

Coupled with the help of Gao Yi and Li Shirong, two masters of internal affairs, the people of Qin also forgot about the previous dynasty and were willing to be obedient citizens of the Tianluo Sect.

Not to mention in Anyang, which is the closest to Penglai, and driven by overseas trade, the local economy has developed rapidly, and in two years it is not even inferior to Jianye and Shouchun.

With this benchmark, the people in other parts of Yandi were also full of confidence, coupled with Ning Unyielding's call and the fact that they didn't have a good impression of the Zhu family and his son, they quickly accepted the Tianluo Sect.

And Shi Luosheng himself also has a happy event, that is, Jiang Wan'er gave birth to a son for him, Shi Luosheng remembered the bitterness of his childhood, so he named his son Shi Zizai, hoping that he could have a carefree and free childhood.

In Jianye, Deng Yuanjue compared with Shi Luosheng, in addition to restoring the economy of Song and Chu, he also had to find a way to stink Emperor Xiao Yin of the Song Dynasty and build momentum for his own ascension to the throne in the future.

In terms of internal affairs, he didn't care much, with Wu Shiqi's great ability, he was originally the prime minister of Chu State, and he had a large number of protégés who were good at governance, and now these people have come in handy.

In the past two years, the economies of Chu and Song have improved to a certain extent compared with the pre-war level.

Deng Yuanjue, who didn't have to worry about internal affairs, spent his mind on how to succeed to the throne reasonably. If it is just Zen, although it is politically legal, it is inevitable that many people will chew on the root of their tongues, so it is necessary to take some other measures.

So in the past two years, there have been various scandals of Xiao Yin, such as the sudden collapse of the Taimiao Temple during the sacrifice. For example, when he returned from hunting in the city, he fell off his horse in front of the whole city.

In addition to these "little things", there are also various peachy rumors, such as forcibly accepting a married woman as a concubine, openly molesting the wife of a certain minister during a banquet, and so on.

The most unacceptable thing for everyone is that one night, he actually broke into the bedroom of Xiao Sheng's former concubine by getting drunk, and the next day the concubine hanged herself in shame.

Under the arrangement of well-intentioned people, these things soon spread throughout the country, and the people talked about it for a while, and even heard voices demanding Xiao Yin's abdication.

Of course, Xiao Yin knew all this that happened, and he didn't do any of the above things, all of them were designed and arranged by Deng Yuanjue.

But what can he do? The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all great generals, and the public opinion of the whole country was also controlled by him, and he could smear himself as much as he wanted.
