Chapter 594: Situation by Country

Compared with the hidden ones, Zhao Wu instead had a feeling that he did not understand the current situation as well as Emperor Lai. However, one thing is certain, when the Luo Tian Great Power sends troops to conquer the Night Country again, the situation that the Night Country will face will be even more severe. Of course, looking at the entire Northern Regions, I don't know how many countries are in a more difficult situation than the Night Country.

Aside from the current situation, the danger of the night capital has been solved, Zhao Wu wants to go back immediately to restore his life, this time secretly led the army to the country of Lai to capture Emperor Lai, without threatening the life of Emperor Lai, Zhao Wu's plan was very successful. Of course, from beginning to end, Zhao Wu had no intention of killing Emperor Lai.

Zhao Wu had long thought that once Emperor Lai had an accident, their plan would end in failure, and then not only would they form a deep enmity with the Lai Kingdom, but the combined forces of Mongolia and Lai would break through the night capital faster. Once the night capital fell, the end of the Night Emperor was not much better, and then the Night Kingdom fell into a completely chaotic situation, Zhao Wu and the 50,000 night army not only had to fight against the forces of a country in the Lai Kingdom, but also beware of the large army that the Lai Kingdom defended.

Under the enemy on all sides, even if Zhao Wu's strategy was extraordinary, it would be difficult to bring the 50,000 night troops back to the Night Country unharmed in the end. If Zhao Wu could return to the Night Kingdom with some remnants of the defeated army, presumably the Night Kingdom at that time was no longer the original Night Kingdom. Based on the above reasons, Zhao Wu not only could not use force against Emperor Lai, but could not even violate the majesty of Emperor Lai.

This was extremely obvious after the withdrawal of the Lai army, so Emperor Lai was not under house arrest by Zhao Wu in the real sense, but it was more appropriate to cooperate with Zhao Wu.

Speaking of which, on the way to Xiancheng with Emperor Lai before, Zhao Wu still regarded himself as a subordinate and never offended Zhao Wu. Despite this, in the end, Zhao Wu was still not sure what the lives of himself and 50,000 soldiers were, and it could be said that it was Emperor Lai who controlled everything.

In addition, according to Zhao Wu's understanding of Emperor Lai himself, Zhao Wu knew very well that if Emperor Lai was unwilling to withdraw his troops, even if he killed Emperor Lai, he would not be able to make Emperor Lai change his decision, so Emperor Lai did give the Night Kingdom a chance. The more Zhao Wu thought about it, the more he felt that Emperor Lai's intentions were meaningful, and the more he had an unpredictable feeling.

While lamenting Emperor Lai's wisdom and martial arts, Zhao Wu thought of the situation in the world, and there were constant disputes. In fact, much of the Northern Regions is now in chaos, and the effects of the war are growing.

In the southern part of the Northern Regions, a number of small border countries are followed by the Daqi Principality, and recently the Daqi Principality has been in close contact with the Central Empire across the sea, and all kinds of materials have been constantly escorted over. The war has spread to all parts of the Daqi Principality, and the Daqi Principality is also sparing no financial resources to win the wars in various places.

Unlike other principalities' outward expansion, the wars that the Daqi Principality has to deal with are all within its borders or borders, which has a certain relationship with the geographical location of the Daqi Principality.

Judging from the entire territory of the Northern Regions, the eastern and western sides of the Daqi Principality have bordering areas with the three major principalities of Guxuan, Qingyuan, and Northern Wilderness, and it is inevitable that there will be a number of small states between those bordering areas. Now the Duchy of Daqi has to annex a number of small states to the south, and on the other hand, it has to deal with threats from the border areas of the three principalities, even if it has more troops, it seems that it is still underarmed.

Now the real headache for the Daqi Principality is not the three major principalities bordering it, but some small countries around the border and internal problems. The size of the Daqi Principality was only comparable to the westernmost Luotian Principality before the war among the five major principalities in the southern part of the Northern Regions.

Due to the problems of the monarchy, at the beginning of the war, many fiefdom princes rebelled one after another, and one by one they occupied the land as kings, dividing their respective fiefs from the original territory of the Daqi Principality. Some princes formed alliances with each other, and their power was beyond imagination, forcing the Duchy of Daqi to use a large number of troops to quell the rebellion, so that there was often a shortage of troops when conquering many small countries, and finally failed to produce results as quickly as possible.

On the other side, those small countries on the border of the Daqi Principality, knowing that there was frequent internal turmoil in the Daqi Principality, spontaneously formed an alliance with other countries one by one to jointly resist the conquest of the Daqi Principality. After the combination of those small states, the overall strength was naturally not underestimated, resulting in the defeat of the Daqi Principality in the south and other regions for a time.

Under the lack of effective control of the situation, even some small countries annexed by the Daqi Principality through diplomatic means before, recently because they saw the grim situation of the Daqi Principality, they joined the resistance alliance to deal with the Daqi Principality together, and the rebellion of those small countries made the Daqi Principality's troops on the border even tighter.

It has been nearly a year since the start of the melee in the Northern Regions, and after the domestic situation has become more and more severe, the forces invested by the Daqi Principality on the border have been greatly reduced. After spending so much military spending, but not an inch of land has been requisitioned, and in the case of making ends meet, the overall situation of the Daqi Principality is getting worse and worse.

Now the Northern Wilderness Principality in the east, because the territorial expansion of other directions has reached the limit, and seeing the successive defeats of the Daqi Principality, it naturally started the idea of the border of the Daqi Principality.

After the Northern Wilderness Principality invested a large number of troops, the northeast region of the Daqi Principality became more lively, and there was war almost everywhere, no matter what dangerous or fierce place it was, as long as it was a place where people lived, there would be war. Originally, many hidden forces and civilians were involved in the war for no reason, and they were devastated by the war.

With the increase of fighting in the eastern region and the growing resistance in the south, the Duchy of Daqi gradually has a tendency to ignore the end. In less than a year, the Duchy of Daqi has invested 80% of its troops in the wars in various places. Compared with the other four principalities, the Principality of Daqi has already suffered incalculable losses.

Despite this, the Daqi Principality still has no tendency to save the situation, and after the situation continues to decline, more and more small countries around it join the rebellion, and sooner or later the entire Principality will fall into a completely unfavorable situation. In this situation, the pressure on the imperial power will be increasing.

In fact, the rebellion of those princes within the Daqi Principality has a lot to do with the instability of the imperial power, and the constant struggle for the throne not only makes the imperial power more tempting to the royal family, resulting in continuous infighting in the court, but also causes the situation in the entire principality to be disordered.

Now, as the situation intensifies, the royal family does not come together, but instead intensifies the struggle for imperial power, which leads to the aggravation of the situation. Compared with the Night Country, the current Daqi Principality is worried about internal and external troubles, and it can be regarded as truly embattled. If the issue of imperial power is not effectively resolved, the Duchy of Daqi, which may be one of the seven principalities in the Northern Regions, will be the first to be destroyed.

Putting aside the situation of the Daqi Principality, in the eastern part of the Northern Regions, the Qingyuan Great Power towered like a high mountain, huge and indestructible. At the beginning of the war, the Qingyuan powers immediately sent envoys to the border countries, and used various political means to continuously achieve the goal of expanding their territory, so that the territory of the Qingyuan powers continued to expand.

Very few small countries want to rebel against the Qingyuan big country, not all of them have a commander like Zhao Wu, and they surrendered one by one under the conquest of the Qingyuan big country, until now, the speed at which the Qingyuan big country annexed the neighboring small countries is very fast. Now, except for a few surrounding principalities with a larger area and the Night Country, which are difficult to gnaw, other small countries have basically become the minions of the Qingyuan powers, regardless of distance or proximity.

Now the vast majority of principalities in the northeast of the Northern Regions have been included in the territory of the Qingyuan powers, of course, formal submission alone cannot guarantee that those countries will do their best to serve the Qingyuan powers, coupled with the southern borders of the Qingyuan powers, the influence of the joint actions of those small countries, the expansion momentum of the Qingyuan powers has weakened.

At present, in order to make those countries that are still resisting not rebel against the countries that have surrendered, the Qingyuan countries continue to dispatch the armies of those small countries to conquer the east and west for them, to fight those difficult bones, no time limit, the Qingyuan countries seem to only want those countries that have surrendered to continue to serve them.

While taking advantage of the surrendered countries, their own armies have been training intensively, but they have never participated in the war, and the brilliance of the Qingyuan great power is that no matter how much of a role those small countries can play, the war will weaken the strength of the participating parties. Just like the current Wing Country, although the Wing Country lost, it may not be the case for the Qingyuan Powers.

In the eyes of the Qingyuan powers, the loss of the army of the Wing Nation is like a ready-made material reward for other countries, and in the case that the Night Nation is not capable of occupying, the Qing Yuan Powers can take the default way to use the territory of the Wing Country as a reward and distribute it to those countries that are about to conquer the Night Army for the Qing Yuan Powers.

Of course, this kind of implicit political intention, the Qingyuan power will not be too obvious, in order not to chill people's hearts, at first just under the guise of sending the troops of other countries to settle in the wing country, in order to defend the wing country to occupy some territory of the wing country. In this way, the monarch of the Wing Kingdom has nothing to say, or dare not say anything in the event of losing his army. After a long time, it is conceivable that those occupied territories of the Wing Country will eventually belong. All in all, the way in which the Qingyuan Great Power expanded its territory has always been in the means, unlike the Luo Tian Great Power in terms of force.

As the most powerful principality in the military of the five powers, Luo Tianguo has always pursued the principle of not saying much if he can fight, and it can be said that his reputation in the entire Northern Regions is extremely strong.

The Luo Tian Great Power is located in the northwest of the Northern Regions, with a vast land and many people, and behind it are some small countries that have no strength to resist the Luo Tian Great Power even if they are united, and then there are the Northern Wilderness Mountain Range. For many years, the reason why Luo Tian Da did not annex those small countries was not only because those small countries were vast and sparsely populated and even barren, but also because Luo Tian Da completely regarded those small countries as a barrier to resist the beast problem from the Northern Wilderness Mountain Range.

In those small countries on the edge of the Northern Wilderness Mountain Range, the problem of beasts is commonplace for them, and they are tired of dealing with the problem of beasts all year round, but because of those small countries, for many years, Luo Tianda has no problems with beasts at all.
