Chapter 626: Luo Du Deliberations
After confronting the Qingyuan Powers, it is a question of how long the Night Kingdom can hold out. In any case, Ruan Sihai didn't think that the Night Kingdom could defeat the Qingyuan power, so from this aspect, it would be safer to send Fancheng to the combined forces of Fei and Yang. But I don't know the style of Fei and Yang, and after thinking about it, Ruan Sihai has never been able to make a decision.
Ruan Sihai would think so much about it entirely because Fancheng was particularly important to the Night Army and the combined forces of Fei and Yang. It can be said that which side occupies Fancheng first will have the advantage of taking the initiative.
Based on the importance of Fancheng, Ruan Sihai could use Fancheng as a capital to negotiate with the night army. To put it simply, even if Zhao Xu can find out that Ruan Yi and others are related to the attack on the night army, Ruan Sihai can still use Fancheng to resolve the danger for himself, which is the biggest difference between Ruan Sihai and Xu Mu, and it is also the main reason why Ruan Sihai did not want to escape from Fancheng.
In addition, with Ruan Sihai's forces, he can also organize 10,000 defenders of the city, and these people can also be used as bargaining chips for negotiations.
The combined forces of Fei and Yang have been stationed in the Wing Country for a period of time, but due to the situation of the Wing Country, the two armies have not been stationed in Fancheng for a long time, because for them, controlling Fancheng means controlling the entire Wing Country, and in the case that the royal family of the Wing Country still insists on its own status, the two coalition forces will also give the Wing Emperor some face.
As the troop contributor, the coalition forces of the two countries are ready to go to the snow country, so it is not more meaningful for them to occupy Fancheng than the night army to occupy Fancheng, plus there are some things that need to be dealt with on the part of the coalition army, and the commanders of the two armies have no intention of occupying Fanguan as soon as possible.
At that moment, it was only after learning the news that the night army was marching towards the Wing Country, and the two commanders planned to march to Fan Pass, in the name of facing the night army, and the Wing Emperor had no way to oppose them. Judging from the speed of the march, the time for the two armies to reach Fancheng was about the same, and it would take at least a few more days. Before that, what Ruan Sihai has to do is to think clearly about which side to turn to.
The horn of war has been sounded, and although the Wing Country is still calm on the surface, it is actually turbulent. Compared to the Winged Country, the situation in the Night Country is even more severe.
A few days ago, Lan Ce took Bai Shuilian and others to the Purple Cloud Country to meet with other monarchs to officially open the Five Nations Conference, and then for various reasons, a jointly recognized alliance leader was not elected for a long time, and even due to some differences on the way to the meeting, it also led to a tendency of splitting.
For Lanzer, the hasty conclusion of the five-nation talks was the biggest defeat for the Night Country since the war. If the five countries do not merge smoothly, the so-called alliance may eventually end in division, and at that time, each country will face the danger of national destruction.
Originally, Lan Ze's participation in the Five Nations Alliance was to really merge the Night Kingdom with several other countries into a whole, but unfortunately, it was very difficult for the monarchs of the five countries to abolish four and leave one in terms of country names, because it was much more difficult for the monarchs of the five countries than simply forming an alliance. Although the five countries are in the same vein, after all, they have been separated for many years, and no one wants to give up the final imperial position easily.
When electing the leader of the alliance, the monarchs of all countries came up with the reasons why they could be the leaders of the alliance, and they were sharp one by one.
In order to deal with the current situation more effectively, Lan Ce, like the other four monarchs, did not want to give up the position of alliance leader, but unfortunately they were unwilling to retreat. Even though there were two excellent commanders in the Night Country, Lan Ce still could not get all of them recognized, and the talks ended in failure.
If he had known that the alliance was not as strong as he imagined, perhaps Lan Ce would not have ordered Zhao Wu to lead his army to attack Snow Country. The situation is now turbulent, and the situation in the Night Country is getting worse day by day, and if the role of the alliance cannot be brought into play, it will be the Night Country that will be the first to suffer.
Speaking of which, Lan Ce's failure to sit in the position of the leader of the alliance has a certain relationship with the position of the night country, the night country is located on the edge of the five countries, if Lan Ce becomes the leader of the alliance, it is not conducive to overall consideration, this is the reason why other monarchs deny Lan Ce as the leader of the alliance, but the night country has now doubled, how can Lan Ce give up fighting for the position of alliance leader.
Throughout the parliamentary process, the intensification of contradictions led to the failure of the negotiations, but time did not stand still. During Lan Ce's time in the Purple Cloud Kingdom, Zhao Wu had been paying attention to the situation in the western part of the Night Kingdom, and had even sent secret agents to the Luo Tian Kingdom. In the first two wars, the Night Kingdom had completely offended the Meng Kingdom and the Tianyu Kingdom, and without Luo Tianguo's order, these two countries would not let go of the Night Kingdom.
There is still a Lai country sandwiched between the Mongolian country and the Tianyu country, and the strength of the Lai country was not lost last time, and now just one Lai country is enough for the entire army of the Night Country to be dispatched, not to mention that there are two other countries next to the Lai country that are waiting to take revenge on the Night Kingdom.
It is not difficult to imagine that as soon as Luo Tian's order arrives, the Night Kingdom will face another large-scale crisis, and according to Luo Tian's style, the next crisis faced by the Night Kingdom may be unprecedented.
Zhao Wu has been seizing the time to train his troops, but unfortunately the existing troops are always too small, and the 250,000 night troops are not even enough to guard the entire western border, not to mention that most of them are still new troops.
It is worth mentioning that after the 100,000 reinforcements of the Lei Kingdom returned, Zhao Wu had already transferred back the tens of thousands of night troops who were first sent to support the Lei Kingdom. When I first went, I was 70,000 soldiers, and when I came back, it was less than 50,000, and fortunately, these 50,000 night soldiers can be regarded as veterans. With the addition of the original 250,000 night army, Zhao Wu currently has 300,000 troops available.
300,000 troops is not a small number, but unfortunately it is still not enough to deal with the upcoming crisis, unless all the troops in the Snow Country and the Wing Country are transferred back, but it will take too long, and the gain of giving up the Snow Country now is not worth the loss, so Zhao Wu still maintains the usual practice and does not plan to transfer troops from the Snow Country.
I don't know how many troops Luo Tian will send to attack the Night Country next time, in short, Zhao Wu has a limited number of troops at his disposal. In order to prepare earlier, Zhao Wu tried his best to inquire about information, and almost all the countries in the west had secret agents sent by the Night Country, going back and forth between countries, constantly obtaining all the useful information of the Night Country.
During this period, Zhao Wu had already received information about the alliance from Lan Ce, and the five-nation alliance had encountered obstacles, which invisibly put Zhao Wu under more pressure, because if the alliance failed, the next time the night country dealt with the crisis, there might not be reinforcements at all. As the commander of the three armies, even if Zhao Wu is powerful, he is still on pins and needles in the face of today's situation.
In the past few days, there has indeed been a lot of movement in Luo Tianguo. As one of the five major powers, Luo Tian has a long reputation.
Since the terrain in the west is much higher than that in the east, since ancient times, the Luotian Great Power has also had another name, "the country of the cloud saint." ”
When it comes to Luo Tianguo, we can't help but say that Luo Tian Dadu, the imperial city "Tiandu" built on top of the mountains. Tiandu sits in the middle of the Yuntian Mountains, has a history of tens of thousands of years, the buildings inside are ancient and gorgeous, the population is extremely dense, the streets and alleys are full of people, a capital city has more than three million residents, the concentration of population symbolizes the concentration of imperial power, the imperial power of Luo Tianguo is naturally far from being comparable to ordinary small countries.
Built on top of the mountains, the terrain rises higher and higher from the edge to the deepest part, and the imperial palace can be seen from outside the imperial city, and the edge of the imperial city is still a city high from the real ground. Throughout the sky, there are countless stairs spread down from top to bottom for people to pass.
To put it simply, Tiandu is as striking as a flower bed held up out of thin air. In Tiandu, both martial arts and literature are very strong, there are martial saints, and there are literary saints, so Tiandu has always been known as the holy capital. Whenever there is a big festival, there will be more people in the heavenly capital.
The entire Tiandu cut off the central position of the Yuntian Mountain Range, and on both sides of the Tiandu was the criss-crossing Yuntian Mountain Range, which led to the distance.
The power of the National Congress was greater, and in the heavenly capital, from the bottom to the top, there were places where officials at all levels lived, from low to high, until the imperial power at the top. The concept of imperial power is particularly prominent in the Luotian country, which can be described in one sentence, "The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers cannot live." ”
Since the end of the last Northern Regions Great Melee Era, Luo Tianguo was almost captured by the Sword Emperor Sword Feixian and his army, thousands of years have passed in a blink of an eye.
For thousands of years, the great power of Luotian has continued to grow. In the face of the two defeats in the eastward expedition this time, the high-flying Luo Tian Dao naturally had some reactions, but it didn't seem to be strong.
After receiving the news that the Lai Kingdom was forced to withdraw its troops and that the Mongol army had been ambushed, Emperor Luo convened a military meeting, focusing on discussing the attack on the Night Kingdom. In the past, it only took a few orders to conquer certain countries, but now he had to hold a meeting for the Night Kingdom, which could be regarded as Emperor Luo's biggest reaction.
On the day of the meeting, on the glorious Jinluan Palace, Emperor Luo sat high on the dragon chair and looked down at the ministers below. The following ministers have different temperaments, but one thing is the same, everyone has the characteristics of being a great power minister. Even the person with the lowest official rank can compare his bearing with the prime minister of an ordinary small country.
Like the hierarchical system of other countries, Luo Tianguo also has nine ranks, and in order, those who can stand in the Jinluan Hall have an official rank that is not as good as the fifth rank.
"I don't know what you think about the forced resistance of the Night Kingdom?" Since it was a discussion, Emperor Luo naturally wanted to listen to the opinions of the courtiers below on the conquest of the Night Kingdom.
"On the Holy Side, according to the minister's opinion, the Night Kingdom openly rebelled against the Holy Power with a small crowd, and did not know how to advance or retreat, so he sent a large army to ask for it, so as to set an example. ”
"On the sage, the night country has resolved the danger of the death of the country twice with the crowd of small countries, and it is really the commander Zhao Wu's outstanding ability, and the king should treat him with courtesy and invite him. ”
"Master Wu, how to get rid of this, Zhao Wu's second offense should be destroyed. ”
"Lord Zuo said that now that there are constant disputes among countries, although the Luo Tian Great Power will not be affected for the time being, but in the long run, our country will definitely go all out to participate in the war, so Wu thought that Zhao Wu should be called for his own use. ”
"If Zhao Wu is unwilling to give in, what should he do?"
