Chapter 756: Yangguo Situation

"Back to the marshal, the last general hasn't figured out how to deal with them yet, so the last general plans to imprison them first, and then make plans," he thought hard for a while but didn't think of a suitable way to deal with them, and after a turn of thought, Lin Xuanzhong just wanted to buy himself a while.

"Since this matter has been handed over to you, everything is naturally up to you to decide," nodded, Zhao Xu still didn't think about why Lin Xuanzhong didn't immediately dispose of those ten people.

"Yes," agreed, Lin Xuanzhong immediately turned around and called some people to take all ten people in custody and wait for disposal.

Now that the royal family of the Wing Country has been abolished, the name of the Wing Country no longer exists, and from now on, the territory of the original Wing Country will be owned by the Night Country. Not long after, Zhao Xu ordered people to post notices in the city, announcing the right of the Night Kingdom to rule over various places.

In the content of that notice, Zhao Xu also made it clear that the people everywhere must let go of their hatred and submit to the Night Kingdom from now on, otherwise there is only a dead end. For those who are obedient, Night Kingdom naturally adopts a lenient attitude, but for those who resist, Night Kingdom will definitely not be soft.

Not long after the matter of the Imperial Palace ended, the 100,000 night army had already been divided into several parts to completely occupy the Wing City. When the situation in Yicheng stabilizes, it won't be long before Lan Feng and the Right Prime Minister arrive in Yicheng to take over the Yigong Palace and the entire Qianyi Kingdom. Just like when it was annexed to Snow Country, Night Country wants to completely add the territory of Wing Country to the new territory of Night Country.

The matter of capturing the Wing Country came to an end, and next, Zhao Xu had to face the Flying Country and the Yang Kingdom, whether the two countries continued to be loyal to the Qingyuan Great Power, or they had the intention to return to the Night Country, they were the next conquest targets of the Night Army, Zhao Xu did not want to give up the great opportunity to capture the two countries in vain, so as to give up the two countries to some countries in the south, and then turn back to deal with them. All in all, Zhao Xu wanted to eat those two pieces of fat that had no ability to resist as soon as possible, especially Yangguo.

Abolishing the status of the royal family of Yiguo now can only be regarded as a good start, and tomorrow Zhao Xu will post notices in other places, and at the same time report the situation in Yicheng to Lan Feng. While firmly ruling the new land, Zhao Xu also had to continue to wait for the reply from the lords of Fei and Yang. Of course, regardless of the final reply of the two lords, the next stop of the night army will still be one of them, and they may even divide their forces to conquer the two countries.

According to the current situation, as well as the geographical location of Fei and Yang, if only one of them is attacked, then Zhao Xu's goal is Yangguo. Because the Yang Kingdom is next to the Gu Kingdom to the west, and the Gu Kingdom is also a large country that has long been subordinated to the Qingyuan Dynasty, and is currently busy fighting with the Lei Kingdom. If the alliance of the five countries is reached, the Night Country will be able to send troops from the three directions of Yang Country, Snow Country, and Thunder Country at the same time, and then the Valley Country, which is surrounded by enemies on three sides, will definitely be at your fingertips.

The capture of the Valley Country is of great benefit to the development of the Night Kingdom in the east, because the location of the Valley Country is between the Thunder Kingdom and the Yang Kingdom, and once the Gu Country is captured, the territory of the Night Country can be linked. In addition, Zhao Xu wanted to send troops to Yangguo because Yangguo's ordnance manufacturing technology was very prominent, and the previous transaction content that Zhao Xu proposed to Yangguo was not only in terms of materials, but also included a thousand blacksmiths.

If the deal between the two sides is reached, the ordnance used by the night army in the future will be cast by those blacksmiths, and it is a long-term plan to send important people to Yangguo.

In fact, compared to going to the two countries at the same time, Zhao Xu still prefers to go out to Yangguo alone, because although the royal family of Yiguo has been erased, there are still some royal relatives like Ruan Sihai outside, and many people are in important positions, whether those people have different intentions is not certain for the time being, but in general, the situation in various places is not stable and needs to be observed, so Zhao Xu does not dare to transfer too many troops at one time.

Once it is decided to only go to Yangguo, according to Zhao Xu's initial plan, he will not personally lead the army, but will let Lin Xuanzhong and Fang Quyin, who have been famous recently, lead the troops over, as for the specific number of troops to give to the two, Zhao Xu can't make up his mind for the time being.

A day later, the situation in Yicheng returned to stability, and more and more people came and went in and out of the streets and alleys, and the whole city gradually regained its vitality. For many city dwellers, it was just a change of imperial power, and the arrival of the night army did not have a substantial impact on them, and they were already new citizens of the night country, enjoying the legal protection of the night country, and the current night army could not do anything to them.

As more and more people became aware of the contents of the notice, the situation in Yicheng became more and more normal. At the same time, in Yangguo Kyoto, after finding out the various circumstances after the night army entered Yicheng, the secret agents of Yangguo had immediately reported the matter of Zhao Xu leading an army of 100,000 to capture Yidu.

In the eyes of the lord of Yangguo, the purpose of Zhao Xu's troops in Yicheng is to capture the entire Yiguo, the original royal family of Yiguo has been punished, and the situation in Yiguo is stabilizing, so it is not difficult to guess that Zhao Xu's next target is very likely to be their Yangguo.

is also based on the geographical location of Yangguo, if the strength of the Night Country is limited, then sending troops to Yangguo must be Zhao Xu's best choice, so Yangguo's situation is already a burning brow. Not only did he not get the assistance of the Qingyuan power in a short time, but he also had to give an answer to the Qingyuan power for the defeat of the last war as soon as possible. Knowing that Yang Guo is in a dilemma at the moment, it is a pity that there is no way to solve it.

In terms of the content of the transaction proposed by Zhao Xu, after thinking about it for many days, Emperor Yang finally did not accept the opinions of some ministers to give death to Shi Jiangchuan and others, who had caused Yangguo to fall into the current predicament, but planned to exchange all Shi Jiangchuan and others according to Zhao Xu's request, because Shi Jiangchuan and others were the foundation of Yangguo's army. Even though Yangguo has always been wealthy, after the First World War, he still has the financial resources to organize a force of hundreds of thousands, but he can only select some people with no military experience to lead the army.

If an army is forcibly recruited and a commander is hastily elected, how will Yang's new army face the elite of the Night Country? When one of the commanders chosen by Snow Nation before the fall of the country did not play any role in the Battle of Zephyr City, Emperor Yang understood that no matter how many of them were against the current Night Army, they were only stubbornly resistant.

Moreover, the battle a month ago made the Night Kingdom harvest too many large-scale siege equipment, and this time Zhao Xu sent troops to the wings with those large equipment, obviously with the intention of attacking the city. If the spearhead of the night army is pointed at them, Emperor Yang thinks that there is no possibility of stopping the night army.

Based on the current urgent situation, Emperor Yang is now considering whether to use their last strength to fight against the Night Kingdom at all costs and then embark on the road of destruction, or whether to use the military forces gathered from all over the country as negotiating capital to negotiate peace with the Night Kingdom. If he could establish an alliance with the Night Kingdom, Emperor Yang felt that he would not only be able to maintain his position, but also ensure the integrity of the Kingdom of Yang.

Now that the entire Yang Kingdom has come to the point of survival, even if the name of Yang Kingdom no longer exists in the future, Emperor Yang has to think about the survival of the royal family. How to survive under the general trend is the key, identity and status should be put second, after this kind of awareness, in order to make the best choice, Yang Huang recently held a military aircraft meeting.

During the council, Emperor Yang first consulted with his ministers whether to continue to serve the Qingyuan powers, which would only put pressure on them and drain their strength, or whether to make peace with the Night Kingdom with the remaining forces. The two choices proposed by Emperor Yang were not only of far-reaching significance for the existence of the imperial family, but also for the ministers of the court.

From the point of view of negotiating peace with the Night Kingdom, the factor that makes it difficult for them to decide is that if they betray the Qingyuan Great Power now, sooner or later they will have to face the wrath of the Qingyuan Great Power, how can they withstand the Heavenly Might of the Qingyuan Great Power with the power of the Yang Country, and many people do not believe that the Night Country can play with the Qingyuan Great Power with the current military strength.

In terms of continuing to be loyal to the Qingyuan powers, they were very worried that continuing to be the enemy of the Night Army would eventually lead the Yang Kingdom on the same path as the destruction of the Wing Kingdom, and what would happen to their lives and deaths at that time was all a matter for them to consider.

In contrast, negotiating peace seems to be a more acceptable option for them, because Yang still has 100,000 troops, and the people of the country have a strong hatred for the Night Kingdom, both of which can be used as conditions for negotiating with the Night Kingdom. Even if Emperor Yang needs to express his willingness to surrender to the Night Kingdom in the end, the royal family can still survive, and being the lord of a fief is still a way out for Emperor Yang.

In the short term, negotiating peace with the Night Kingdom can ensure that the people of the Yang Kingdom will not be harmed in the near future, and in the long run, the Yang Kingdom must be prepared for the Qingyuan Power to send troops to attack. When the Qingyuan powers send troops to recruit, the Yang country may suffer a devastating blow, so both issues are worth considering.

A council lasted for a long time, and the ministers had their own opinions and debated about the benefits of returning to the Night Kingdom and the disadvantages of betraying the Qingyuan Nation, and finally everyone understood one thing. Unless the Qingyuan powers can send a reinforcement army as soon as possible to help them jointly defend against the night army, and ensure that the reinforcements will not pose a threat to the Yang country, they will have no choice but to return to the night country.

In any case, compared to being attacked by the Qingyuan Great Power, the trial of the Night Kingdom will come earlier, and the key is a matter of time. By the time the meeting reached the final stage, Emperor Yang and many ministers had already understood that the conditions that would allow them to make a decision were not enough, so Emperor Yang planned to test the attitude of the Qingyuan envoy while confirming how likely it was to negotiate peace with the Night Kingdom.

There is not much time left for Yang Guo, so Emperor Yang has specially made third-hand preparations for this, and is currently actively preparing for the need to replace with the night army. If Yang Guo's final decision was to form an alliance with the Night Kingdom, then Shi Jiangchuan and the others and those tens of thousands of soldiers would not have to die. Now many things are being done without the envoys of the Qingyuan powers, and the time that Yangguo still has is the time when the army of the Night Kingdom arrives in Yangguo's Kyoto.

There is at least half a month to count, but that half a month is just a blink of an eye, after that meeting, the whole court and the central government are busy, and several preparations of Emperor Yang are in the process.
