Xiliang is a wild land, and Xia Dade's ferocity and recklessness are also coarse and fine, and only those who have both virtue and virtue can suppress this territory, so they are naturally not as free as Xinguo, and they also divide the dragon chair equally. Looking at Xiliang, there is only one person who dares to talk to Xia Dade like this with such treatment, and this person is Cai Longyu.

Cai Longyu is now named Yili Lihan, in charge of a large area of territory that used to be Yili, although sometimes he listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, but Xia Dade relies on this person extraordinarily. And at critical moments, Cai Longyu is often Xia Dade's most powerful pillar. This person is the founding general of the new country, and Xia Dade specially allowed him to go to the temple with his sword, and he did not have to bow down on one knee. Cai Longyu didn't think this was just glory, how could it be true, he really didn't kneel when he went to the palace, and he was really dressed in military uniform.

It is said that most of these people are separated from the lord of the country, and they are eventually destroyed by the lord of the country, but Cai Longyu is not, as long as Xia Dade informs him of something important, even if he is displeased, he will unconditionally support Xia Dade, very righteous and loyal, so Xia Dade trusts him even more. The two have gotten along very well over the years, and as they get older, they miss their old friendship even more. People sometimes get old, so they naturally have to be nostalgic.

Cai Longyu came up to the hall, and after giving Xia Dade a fist, he snorted coldly in the face of the minister who had just spoken, and the minister laughed twice and said, "I've seen Yili Khan." ”

"You wait for the villain to talk nonsense, and I am afraid that it will insult me." Cai Longyu waved his arm and said: "The Lu family conquered the Ming Dynasty and established a new state regime, and my lord and the new emperor Lu Bingnai are friends for eight worships. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year, and I want to be brothers with one heart and one mind. Originally, a new country was established. It is a good thing that the two great powers have harmonious exchanges and no more wars, and only by supporting each other can we protect the inheritance of the world, but it has become a bad thing for you to instigate the two countries to go to war. At that time, the foundation of the founding of Xiliang was the Lu family army led by me and the king, so although we regarded the Ming Dynasty as the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, it was just for expediency, and it was to give the Lu family face, relying on the Lu family. At that time, the Lu family was the guardian of the Ming Dynasty, so they acted like this. The founder is also the king, but the Lu family is the founder of our country. It is the foundation, and if it is attacked here, it is unintentional and unrighteous, and it will be ridiculed by the world. And now the Lu family is out of the Ming Dynasty. Built the regime on its own. This is equivalent to our old friends and roots in Xiliang. Instead of being friendly with them, we are blushing and want to go to war with them. Not to mention that the victory or defeat is still undecided, just saying that the war between the two countries will inevitably affect the people's livelihood, and when the enemy country in the west invades and the domestic turmoil in the west of Xiliang? We must be mired in war, from which it will be difficult to extricate ourselves, and the country will not be in great chaos. Conquer a new country. There is a lesson from the past, when Wu Sizang and the Lu family formed an alliance. Because of the injustice in his heart, now he has fallen into a catastrophe of losing the country, do you want to let Xiliang repeat the mistakes of Wu Sizang? What are your intentions? ”

"Long Yu must not be angry, he has no bad intentions. However, Long Yu is also reasonable, what do you think of the ministers? Xia Dade said, it is good to have disputes, if it is one-sided to attack the new country, Xia Dade will be embarrassed, but I am afraid that it is not good to completely disobey the will. Cai Longyu used the right one, stayed right, and could always help Xia Dade at critical moments.

However, Cai Longyu is not in the court because he is usually not in the court, and he is slightly arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and it is difficult to change the temper of Shandong Xiangma back then.

At this time, as soon as Cai Longyu said this, some ministers sneered at each other: "How can Wu Si Zang compare with my Xiliang, how wide is Xiliang, and how big Wu Si Zang is." Besides, Wusizang was originally the territory under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and the sovereignty was not large, and the soldiers were mostly militiamen, recruited during wartime, and dispersed if they did not fight, and even the weapons were very primitive, not as good as those used by my Xiliang five or six years ago. On the other hand, my Xiliang and the division of the tiger are all serious troops, with strong combat effectiveness and advanced firearms, how can they be comparable to Wusizang? Yili put Li Khan, I'm afraid that you are thinking about the old master's feelings when you say this, are you disloyal to me Xiliang! ”

"You!" Cai Longyu drew his sword angrily, and Xia Dade said lightly: "Long Yu, take the sword, and use force to intimidate at every turn, like something." And you also pay attention, deliberation is deliberation, discuss well, work together, don't buckle any hat if you have nothing to do, the upper platform is so strict. You are all good people of this king, and you are all loyal to the country, and before this fight has started, how can you kill each other and attack each other? ”

"What the king said is very true." The crowd replied in unison

Xia Dade said again: "Long Yu, do you have anything else to say?" ”

"The shaft is not a conspiracy!" Cai Longyu pointed at the ministers and said angrily, although everyone hates Cai Longyu, who will not behave in the world, but in the end, there are outspoken loyal ministers, otherwise Xiliang would not be able to be so strong in just a few years. At this time, someone walked out of the column and hugged his fists and said: "The minister thinks that although Yili Khan's words are rude, there is some truth in what he said. ”

"Tell me about it." Xia Dade said.

"The minister thinks that the firearms in my country are from the Lu family of the new country, although there have been some developments in recent years, but the Lu family has not stopped. In the confrontation with the Daming Yu Dayou Division, it shows the sharpness of the Daming firearms, if it were not for the iron cavalry troops in my Xiliang, I am afraid that it will be difficult to overcome. But even so, Da Ming was still defeated by the Lu family, which shows that the Lu family's firearms have reached the power of the sky, several times higher than Da Ming. This statement is not to grow the ambition of others to destroy their own prestige, but to know themselves and tell the truth. The courtier said: "According to the intelligence, the battle of Beijing, the original capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Lu family fell from the sky, and the more than a thousand miles of land suddenly descended to Beijing, and there were winged people to help, so they took Beijing. The Ming Emperor Zhu Houxi fled in a hurry and fled to Bashu to establish power, but this time their defeat was that the Lu family went up the Yangtze River and suddenly appeared under the city of Chengdu. Falling from the sky, winged people helping each other, going upstream, I think all of you have heard from the military newspaper. Although we don't know the reason, let alone how they did it, this is enough to see that the Lu family's weapons are advanced and their army is strong. That's right, the new country has just been established, but after only one year of construction, there will be no war in the territory of Guotai and Min'an, and in just over two months, Guangxi, the land of Yungui can be recovered, Kewu is hidden in the bag, and Bashu is wiped out. This just shows the strength of its strength and the abundance of its treasury. Moreover, the Lu family won a big victory. The morale is high, and Emperor Lu Bing still needs to spend a lot of effort to calm the restlessness of the soldiers, you are good. Take the initiative to provoke the Lu family of the new country. Now I'm afraid that we are going to become the catharsis of the Lu family, and when the time comes, not only will our king and the new lord of the country turn against each other, but also let Xiliang suffer a great disaster. Therefore, the minister thought that it was not wise to attack the new country, and even if it did, it would not be the best time. On the contrary, it is the most unfavorable moment. ”

"I think it's the same." Another person came out and said: "Although the new country is a new country as its name suggests, it has not been established for a long time in Xiliang. And all these years of crusade and west. The territory is already vast. Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire, and later the Chaktai Khanate, and then the Timurid Empire. It's all because of the overabundance of land. The management boundary is too large, and there is no steady and steady progress, and the governance is restored after the goodness is expanded again, only to lead to the inability to dispatch in time, timely deal with wars and natural disasters, etc., the country is not easy to manage, and the spark is a prairie fire, thus going to extinction. This is a lesson from the past. We naturally have to pay attention to it, not to mention that Xiliang is similar to these previous dynasties. It is even more important to pay more attention, the territory can be infinitely large, but do not overdo it and urgently need to be steady. In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to withdraw from the army for the time being, and go to the country to reconcile with the new country forever. Rich countries and rich people strengthen the strength of our own country, trade with new countries more, learn advanced technology, earn money, and prepare more. In the future, no matter whether you advance or retreat, there is room for improvement. ”

Xia Dade nodded and said: "This third brother of this king is indeed a talent, he can invent so many unbelievable weapons, and he is above me in terms of governing the country and fighting, so naturally he cannot be underestimated." ”

To tell the truth, the level of Xia Liang's group of ministers is not low, no less than the ministers under Lu Bing, and they are arguing endlessly at this time. While they were discussing, a military report came, which was an urgent letter of 800 miles, claiming to be from the Lu family's army. There was silence above the main hall, and it was a battle or a peace to see the content of this letter, and everyone looked at Tuhongyi. Wu Lianghai looked at the king's face with joy and anger.

After a while, Xia Dade stroked his messy beard, and then beckoned Cai Longyu to come to his side, handed the letter to Cai Longyu, and asked Cai Longyu to read it out for everyone to hear. When everyone heard this, they looked at Xia Dade's displeasure and anger, and they didn't know whether the letter was a clamoring war book or a peace book, so they all listened to it, and the hall was even quieter, which could be described as silent.

Cai Longyu read: "Uncle Father, little nephew, look for the two of them to jointly respect." Today, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty have been destroyed by our new country, and Yu Dayou's troops have all surrendered to our new country, and I hope that my uncle will withdraw his troops as soon as possible to prevent the two armies from having friction with each other, and it will be difficult to recover the water. My father has been missing his uncle very much lately, and he said that he would go to Xiliang to visit his uncle and aunt in person next year. In addition, although the Xiliang soldiers did not fight much, they also worked hard, restrained a large number of remnant Ming troops, and helped the new country achieve the great cause of unification. Therefore, at the order of his father, in order to appease and reward the soldiers of Xiliang, the taxes and grain rents paid in Bashu for two years were all owned by Xiliang, and another heavy gift was given to his uncle separately in the future. If the uncle is not sure about the amount of taxes, he can send a special official to supervise it. Please also ask for Fu'an, two little nephews, Lu Yi, Lu Xun. ”

Cai Longyu looked at the ministers triumphantly after reading it, and everyone also looked at each other, and a main battle faction stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, don't miss the country of abundance for the sake of petty profits." ”

Xia Dade waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, all the secretaries today are reasonable, but the letters sent by Lu Yi and Lu Xun show the attitude of the new country. And we have our interests, face, and lining, so why do we have to provoke a war? At the end of the war, it is not a blessing for the country and the people to work together and lose money. Small profits are also interests, which are much better than chickens and eggs, and bamboo baskets and water. As for what is written in the letter, I don't think there is any need for it, since my third brother is so generous, I can't be stingy as a second brother, right? The root of Xiliangzhi was originally given to me by him, so I must not provoke a war with the new country at will. Okay, that's all for today's court discussion, so let's go back. ”

After everyone left, only Cai Longyu was left, Xia Dade wiped his sweat and said: "It's hard to disobey the will of the people, and thanks to my third brother's thoughtfulness, otherwise it would be really difficult for me to do it." ”

Cai Longyu nodded and said: "Exactly, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government, only when you are in a high place can you know the suffering of the high place, the cold of the high place, you are the king of a country, higher than me, it is even more difficult to be lonely." ”

"Long Yu, thank you for informing me of my meaning today and coming to support." Xia Dade hugged his fists.

"The king is strict, I am an important minister of Xiliang, you are the king of Xiliang, and it is natural to relieve the king's worries, there is nothing to say." Cai Longyu said, looked at Xia Dade and said: "Xiliang, Xinguo, two big countries border, if the current generation can work with one heart and one mind, it will definitely be able to be healthy and peaceful, this is still not a big accident." The defenders of the two sides must be restrained, and the slightest friction will be on the verge of breaking out, and it is terrible that they are both strong countries. But it seems that Xinguo is slightly better, Lu Bing is really a demonic being, and he established the prototype of Xiliang, and I don't think it's suitable for you. It's only been a few years, and no matter what the reason is, people have built a new country that suits them, and it's so strong, it's really amazing. On the battlefield this time, I saw Lu Yi's ability, even Lu Xun was also a meritorious person, not an idle person, he was really impressed by Shi Bei for three days, and he really deserved to be Lu Bing's son. It's just this kind of talent, in the future, after a hundred years of you, without the brotherhood between the king and Lu Bing, the war between the two countries will not be far away, and it is unknown who will kill the deer! ”

Xia Dade also sighed: "Yes, but children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, we can't control what they do, as long as we don't dig the two of us out of the grave, crush the bones and scatter ashes, and do whatever you like." By the way, Long Yu, what if I wait for the reign year to start a war? ”

"I am the sweat of Siliang, what do you say?" Cai Longyu asked rhetorically.

"Haha, everyone in the world knows that the emperor is unkind, but he doesn't know that affection is affection, but he is just in love with the country, the king, and the country." Xia Dade said.

Cai Longyu laughed when he heard this, and Xia Dade also laughed, laughing so unscrupulously, but a little desolate. (To be continued......)
