Two months passed quickly, and there were no major incidents in Jingguo in these two months, the wind and waves were calm, and the four seas were peaceful.

The reorganization of the defending army has lasted more than half, and many squires and children of the Hao clan have died in the Nanban Mountains, or have not completed their tasks and have been removed from their posts for investigation. Of course, some of them successfully passed the level, and tens of thousands of defenders of the city experienced a lot in the Nanban Mountain Range, not only bringing back a large number of medicinal materials, but also greatly improving their military strength.

The military strength was also increased by the Huya Army, especially the 5,000 Huya Army brought out by Longfall, who divided the Huya Army into a small group and constantly harassed the border of Cai. Cai Guo didn't dare to fight a big battle, so he could only send a small force to resist, and he was abused by the Huya Army every time.

After rounds of fighting, hundreds of the 5,000 Huya Army died, but the remaining 4,000 Huya Army's combat strength has improved a lot, becoming a real iron army.

The Huya Army of Beidaying was trained by Xiong Jun every day, and his military strength continued to improve. However, this army is a ragtag army, and it still needs to go through a real bloody battle before it can become a real iron army.

Ding Yu's Blood Wolf Camp did not return to Huya Pass, and has been staying in the East Camp. During this time, Li Yunyi asked Xiong Jun to mobilize 4,000 Huya troops to go over and start secret exercises. These 4,000 Tiger Tooth Army became the reserve of the Blood Wolf Battalion, and now there are no Blood Wolves to ride on them, and they use the original 1,000 Blood Wolves to train in turns. Not only to train to ride, but also to train to fight on blood wolves.

As soon as the time of two months came, there was no sound from the Nanchu court, and there was no response from Jingguo's side.

Just today, Li Yunxiang issued a national credential again. He meant that two months had passed, and since the Southern Chu Imperial Court did not give Jingguo the master, they could only take revenge on themselves. Li Yunxiang officially declared war on Cai Guo in his letter of state, and he will never give up if Cai Guo is not destroyed this time.

Jingguo's army began to move, and all the troops trained in the Nanban Mountains converged towards Dongyuan County, and the original 10,000 border troops also gathered towards Dongyuan County, and the city lord asked the city lord to recruit 500 troops on his own.

A large amount of grain and grass began to be transported towards Dongyuan County, and all kinds of signs showed that Jingguo was not shouting this time, but was really preparing for a big battle.

The officials of Jingguo complained bitterly, and many officials knelt outside the palace of King Jing, begging Li Yunxiang to take back his fate.

It is not the army that fights the war, but the national strength!

Cai Guo is very poor, and it is difficult to support a big war now, but Jing Guo is different? The last war and purge made Jing Guo's vitality greatly damaged. Now that the wounds have not healed, and there is a big war again, where can I get grain and grass? Where can I get so many military materials?

Desperate for military force!

If the common people can't eat, they can only revolt and rebel, and during this time, the squires and wealthy families all over the country are unhappy. Doesn't this give them an opportunity to stir up trouble? When the time comes, there will be a large-scale uprising and rebellion at home, and the country will be troubled at home and abroad, and that will be a precursor to the destruction of the country.

Pity......

Li Yunxiang is even more unreasonable than Li Yunyi, whoever calls outside will be dragged home directly. If you continue to make trouble, you will be brought down in a prison for a few days, and then you will be resigned! If you run away and your family is locked up together, you will be no different from a tyrant.

Three days later, Teng Guo suddenly issued a letter of state, asking Jing Guo and Cai Guo to exercise restraint, and at the same time, Teng Guo persuaded Cai Guo to settle the matter, admit the wrong cabinet master who handed over the Beacon Pavilion, and apologize.

After the issuance of Teng's national letter, Yasukuni and Lu successively issued their national letters, and the content was similar. They are all persuasive, but they are obviously on Jingguo's side, openly and secretly persuading Cai Guo to apologize and turn the war into a jade silk.

Then, the Night Kingdom Chen Guo Jiao Guo Ning Guo also issued a letter of state, the content of which was similar to the previous Three Kingdoms.

The seven vassal states once again spoke at the same time, and the entire Southern Chu became lively again.

The seven vassal states jointly spoke out, which didn't feel like they were bullying Cai Guo, but more like they were making a show for the Southern Chu court. Southern Chu summoned Li Yunyi to Chujing last time, and Li Yunyi was assassinated later, and the seven major princely states were cold, and all joined forces again, which was to show off their muscles invisibly and put some pressure on the Southern Chu court.

Cai Guo panicked!

Cai Lu has returned to Shangcai City, and the people in Cai are now struggling to make a living, and rebellions have broken out in many places and are being suppressed everywhere. The fifty major workshops in Silk City were destroyed, and Cai Guo's previous orders could not be fulfilled, and it was about to be time to deliver, and Cai Guo's officials were so anxious that they burned their eyebrows.

Now Jingguo is going to attack Cai Guo again?

Cai has an army, but the problem is that those troops are now without any salary, and the army is extremely short of food, grass, and materials, so how can this war be fought?

Cai Guo urgently wrote to the Southern Chu court and asked the Southern Chu court to mediate, otherwise Cai Guo would be destroyed after the war.

Cai Lu took the flying beast to Chujing overnight and urgently asked to see Zhu Gui. When Zhu Gui saw Cai Lu, Haosheng appeased him, saying that he would try his best to mediate. However, he is not the only one who has the final say, this matter is divided into several factions within the court, and what the specific situation is, it still needs to be communicated and coordinated, and all parties wrestle.

Cai Lu has been the lord of the country for many years, and he is not an idiot. Zhu Gui is clearly talking about clichés. He himself also understands that the seven countries speak together, the pressure on the Southern Chu Imperial Court is quite high, a small Cai State is nothing, and maintaining the current good peace situation is what the Southern Chu Imperial Court needs, and it is also what His Majesty the Emperor Qi Xiong, who is greedy for comfort, needs.

Really!

Cai Lu waited for a day, and the next day at the court meeting, the ministers quarreled for a day, and in the end there was no consensus. And most officials are in favor of not meddling, and for good reason.

When Cai Guo and Jing Guo were in a war, Jing Guo was about to be destroyed, and the Southern Chu court did not intervene, and now intervening will give the Seven Kingdoms a truth. Now that the Seven Kingdoms have united to protest, it is necessary to meddle in the major vassal states again?

Everyone doesn't play according to the rules, sooner or later the world will be in chaos, the Eastern Qi and Western Jin Dynasty and the Great Zhou will be eyeing each other, and there will be no big chaos within Southern Chu.

Zhu Gui came back and explained this truth, and Cai Lu's heart was broken. However, Zhu Gui didn't care about Cai Lu, he showed Cai Lu a way, that is, to borrow money, and then find Jingguo to reconcile and settle things.

"Borrow money?"

Cai Lu heard that several invisible black lines appeared on his brows, Cai Guo is in this situation, who will lend them money? Nan Chu doesn't have to think about it, go to the vassal states to borrow money, can you borrow it?

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Prime Minister Zhu, who will borrow it?" What we need now is not a small amount. ”

Zhu Gui pointed to the west and said, "Purple Dragon Palace!"

"Uh......"

Cai Lu said with a bitter face: "The money in the Purple Dragon Palace is very hot, the interest rate is frighteningly high, and we are afraid that we will not be able to recover our vitality for decades." ”

Zhu Gui's eyes narrowed, touched his long nose and said: "It's better than destroying the country, okay? ”

"Purple Dragon Palace..."

Cai Lu hesitated, the name of the Purple Dragon Palace, and all the forces in the entire Eastern Divine Prefecture knew about it. The Purple Dragon Palace is one of the top sects in the Eastern Divine Prefecture, and the Grandmaster List of the Eastern Divine Prefecture is released by them.

Their sect is in the endless East China Sea, and they do not participate in the disputes of the major dynasties in the Eastern Shenzhou. They only do two things, the first is to publish the Grandmaster List, and the second is to borrow.

The Purple Dragon Palace has existed for thousands of years, and they have always been one of the top sects in the Eastern Divine Prefecture, there are dozens of grandmasters in the sect, and the second-ranked grandmaster in the grandmaster list is their palace master. The Purple Dragon Palace has always been famous for its loans, but the interest rate is surprisingly high. The reason why their sect has always been prosperous is because of the loans, which allow them to earn a lot of money every year, and then use this money to buy a large amount of resources and cultivate martial artists in the sect.

No matter how small Cai is, it is also a vassal state, and it can borrow money if it has something to mortgage. With a large amount of money, they can not only pay compensation for the previous breach of contract orders in Silk City, but also have the opportunity to reconcile with Jingguo. But the more money you borrow, the higher the annual interest, and Cai Guo is afraid that he will have to work for the Purple Dragon Palace for decades to come. Every year, Cai Guo will shrink his clothes and diet, and send all the taxes collected by the state to the Purple Dragon Palace...

Cai Lu pondered for a moment and asked, "Prime Minister Zhu, if my country borrows money, and Jingguo does not agree to reconcile, will we still fight?"

"Don't worry about that!"

Zhu Gui stroked his long beard and said: "When the time comes, I will let Zhu Xiaotian go to Jingguo, Li Yunxiang will give me some face, I will mediate secretly, it should be no problem." ”

"Okay!"

Cai Lu stood up and said deeply: "Then Prime Minister Lao Cheng first sent Xiao Tianhou to explore the wind, if Jingguo is willing to reconcile, I will go to the Purple Dragon Palace again." ”

Cai Lu is really afraid, he is afraid that the Jiangshan Sheji that his ancestors have beaten down will be destroyed, and when he dies, he will have no face to see his ancestors. He can only struggle to support it now, so that Cai Guo can survive with difficulty, and as for what will happen to Cai Guo in the future, he can't control it. Lingering for a while, it can be delayed for a while.

Cai Lu retreated dejectedly, Zhu Gui shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are." Jing Guo is obviously bluffing, and he can't even be seen with intimidation? If you really break the kettle, Jing Guo dares to play with you? Cai Lu is timid and incompetent, and Cai Guo will die at his hands sooner or later. ”

"Li Yunyi, Li Yunyi!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Gui's eyes narrowed, and he looked out the window and looked at the south and said, "Don't think that Ye Xiangfo and Ram Qiu protect you, you can be unscrupulous? The little Jingguo can't protect you, you want to play, and the old man will play with you!"
