The 294th Expedition to Nanping (I)
Emperor Wang Yan of Western Shu sent Ling Yiren to envoy to the Southern Six Kingdoms, and Ling Yiren went.
Ling Yiren first arrived in Gao Jixing's Nanping.
As mentioned earlier, "Nanping" is one of the seven southern countries. As mentioned earlier, Gao Jixing's Nanping is the smallest of the seven southern countries, the least populated, and without a natural barrier.
Nanping is different from Wang Yan's Western Shu. Xishu has a natural barrier. Xishu is surrounded by mountains. Is it difficult to go to the sky?
Nanping is also different from Yang Xingmi's Wu. Yang Xingmi's Wu has the Yangtze River natural insurance. Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms was because Wu had the Yangtze River, which led to his defeat in Chibi that year.
Nanping is also different from Liu Yin's Han, Qian Miao's Wu Yue, Wang Xianzhi's Fujian, and Ma Yin's Chu. Han, Wuyue, Min, and Chu did not border the powerful Li Tang. Because they did not border Li Tang, Li Tang posed a relatively smaller threat to them than Wu and Shu, and even less of a threat to them than Nanping. Because Li Tang did not border them, if Li Tang wanted to fight them, Li Tang had to pass through the lands of other countries.
What about Gao Jixing?
Gao Jixing has no natural barriers, and the second is also the smallest in area and the least populated.
However, Gao Jixing also has his own ability to survive. If he didn't have the ability to survive, he would have been swallowed up long ago.
Gao Jixing's survivability is that I will form a seven-nation alliance with several other countries in the south, if you want to fight me, you will fight the seven-nation alliance, if you want to fight me, the other countries in the south will help me.
In this way, Gao Jixing has been based in Nanping for more than 20 years, and he has not been swallowed up by strongmen.
Now the Tang Dynasty has been dead for 16 years, and now the big Zhu Liang has died in the country, but Gao Jixing has not died.
Gao Jixing doesn't look at the small number of people in the country, but he is the "big brother" of several southern countries.
Because he proposed the creation of the "Alliance of the Seven".
Otherwise, Li Tang's Guo Chongtao made two missions to the south, and Guo Chongtao's first stop always chose Gao Jixing's Nanping. And it was Gao Jixing who was the first to say what to do, and several other countries followed.
*******
As early as sixteen years ago, when the Tang Dynasty died, Gao Jixing saw that we couldn't do it if we didn't create an alliance. Zhu Wen's power is so big, our power is so small, if we don't create the Seven Nations Alliance, we will be wiped out by Zhu Wen one by one sooner or later.
So at the suggestion of Gao Jixing, the Seven Southern Countries founded the Seven Nations Alliance.
It is because of the Seven Nations Alliance that they founded, and because they have worked hard for so many years that they have not been swallowed up by Zhu Wen and his sons, and even the current Li Tang.
*******
These days, Gao Jixing is very depressed. Because at this time, the seven-nation alliance has already cracked. A few years ago, it was because of the Seven-Nation Alliance that Zhu Wen and his son did not dare to face the south, but in recent days, they have not been able to do so. Their rift was the incident when Western Shu raised troops to attack Li Tang for no reason. Wang Jian of Xishu died, and after Wang Yan of Xishu ascended the throne, Xishu was in power in the country. Wang Yan, the young and inexperienced emperor of Xishu, listened to De Yihai's words and sent troops to Li Tang for no reason. Isn't that looking for something to do? The purpose of the "Seven-Nation Alliance" is, I don't offend anyone, don't offend me, if people offend me, my side will support from all sides, and I will work together with you. You have nothing to do in Xishu, what are you doing when you send troops to attack Li Tang? It seems that your ambition in Xishu is not small? It seems that after you Xishu took Li Tang's country, you still want to take our country?
A few days ago, Li Tang's Guo Chongtao sent an envoy to Nanping. Guo Chongtao of Li Tang asked Gao Jixing, since Xishu can send troops to fight our Li Tang, can we Li Tang send troops to fight Xishu?
At that time, Gao Jixing had nothing to say.
Gao Jixing had no choice but to prevaricate.
Today, Ling Yiren from Xishu came, Gao Ji Xingxin said, Xishu is here, I just asked him. (To be continued......)
