Chapter 706: How to Be Good (Part I)
Night, King Lu's Mansion.
King Lu had been sitting in his study for most of the day, and since he received the amazing battle report, he was completely stunned, and there were only two sentences left in his mouth: "How can this be...... How can this be a good ......?"
In fact, it was not only him, but Ye Feng, who also knew about it, also felt a burst of panic and overwhelm - just two days ago, the Ghost Rong people north of Chen Binglu actually launched an attack brazenly.
And in just one day, they actually broke through the Qingyun Pass, which was the throat of Ludi in the north, which caused a large area of Ludi to be completely exposed to the iron hooves and quick knives of the Ghost Rong people, and even Jeju was instantly plunged into a precarious situation.
No, it's not that it's in jeopardy, but it's inevitable that it will be attacked with all the strength of the Ghost Rong people, and Jeju's survival is already in the dark corner.
All the changes came too quickly, and King Lu was still thinking about taking advantage of the entanglement of the three forces to ensure his independence, and even get more benefits from it.
But in the blink of an eye, everything completely changed, and the ghost Rong people completely ignored the existence of the other two forces, and brazenly attacked, which was to snatch the tiger's mouth and directly forcibly seize Lu Di's hand.
It can be said that all those who knew the mystery were caught off guard and felt unbelievable panic. So even if King Lu behaved so panickedly at this time, there was no one around him to comfort him for the time being, of course, this may also have something to do with Kong Wenxi's absence.
Ye Feng, who was guarding in the room and didn't dare to take half a step away from the prince, finally decided to say something after trying to calm his emotions down. After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, things haven't reached the point of being out of control yet. Even if I lose Qingyun Pass, my Lu land is vast, and there are dozens of cities that can block the invasion of the ghost Rong, as long as you give the order and make me Lu land work hard, I will be able to thwart the invasion of the ghost Rong people! ”
What responded to him was King Lu's empty eyes, and a miserable laugh after a while: "Impossible...... Even Qingyun Pass was broken by them, how could other cities stop the wolf-like ghosts? They can sweep away the ghost iron cavalry in the northern part of my country in just half a year, where did we get the soldiers and horses......"
This is also true, like other places in Dayue, Ludi, which has been peaceful for a long time, has long been unarmed, and it was only by relying on the balance between several parties to ensure safety before. And now, when the Oni Rong people put aside their worries and invade in a big way, they will not have any power to protect themselves.
In the whole of Ludi, all the soldiers and horses together are only fifty or sixty thousand people, and most of them are rabble who have not been able to drill once in several months. In the face of a strong enemy onslaught, it is completely impossible to expect them to defend to the end.
"Lord Wang, we can't admit defeat so easily, even if we are not the opponents of the Ghost Rong people, don't we still have the Pingtian Army and the Liangzhou Army? They won't sit idly by. As long as we hold on for a while, they will definitely send troops to help us drive the Ghost Rong people out of Ludi! ”
Ye Feng's words had some effect, making King Lu's eyes flash with a hint of brilliance.
Yes, it is also the enemy that he fears, as long as the two sides can really come in time, then the ghost will not be pleased, and at that time, Ludi may still belong to him......
But just as he was perking up a little, a person quickly entered the study as he spoke: "Lord Wang, I thought that this statement was extremely inappropriate. It was Kong Wenxi who strode in, his expression still looked calm, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a touch of helplessness that was difficult to detect.
"Mr. Kong, what do you mean by that?" Ye Feng didn't expect that this most valued staff member would have such an attitude after rushing back, his expression suddenly changed, and he frowned and asked.
King Lu also looked at the other party curiously, and his heart became more and more uneasy: "What...... How so? ”
"Lord Wang, it's true that the Ghost Rong people are our great enemies, but are the Pingtian Army and the Liangzhou Army our friends?" Kong Wenxi asked rhetorically, but Ye Feng couldn't speak.
Yes, the three parties are all great enemies who covet the wealth of Ludi, but they each have their own concerns about wariness, so they have always let Ludi not be disturbed.
But now, this delicate balance has been broken, so even if the other two sides can really fight off the ghosts, they will retreat and leave?
I'm afraid that in the end, it's just a new strong enemy to seize Ludi.
When he figured out all this, King Lu's whole person was like a deflated ball, and he sat there completely, with only one thought left in his mind - it's over, he is completely finished now.
However, Kong Wenxi still has something to say: "Please don't despair, there may be a glimmer of opportunity in things." ”
"A glimmer of opportunity? Where did the turnaround come from? After a long time, King Lu reacted and asked eagerly.
"After all, the Ghost Rong people are foreigners, and I, Ludi, am the ancestral court of the Central Plains Sect, as long as they still have the idea of seizing control of Ludi, they must be submitted by my Confucian family and all the people of Ludi."
Kong Wenxi said with a solemn expression: "And to do this, you have a decisive weight, Lord Wang." Who doesn't know that you are the king of Lu for decades, and you have great kindness to the entire people of Ludi, so for the Guirong people, it is the most correct thing to leave you to cooperate with them to do things.
"And what we have to do now is to let them know your value, and let them know the fact that they can't mess around. Then, we will cooperate with them, even if it is to surrender to them, as long as we can ensure the safety of you and the entire people of Ludi, then it will be worth it.
"Of course, before that, we also have to show our sincerity, that is, let all the people of Ludi stop making enemies with the Onijung people anymore, and let them enter Jeju smoothly...... "m.
Ye Feng still admired Kong Wenxi at the beginning, and felt that he was indeed more talented and courageous than himself, and when he encountered such a big change, he could actually come up with the most appropriate countermeasures.
But after listening to it, his mood changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and the eyes of the other party were completely different.
What is this?
Isn't this just persuading the prince not to even resist, and to surrender directly to the ghosts?
This is to give up the entire Ludi to the ghost Rong people!
How could he, how dare he make such a decision?
And what shocked Ye Feng even more was that King Lu actually nodded slowly after groaning: "Mr. Kong, what you said is good. Now we have no choice but to ......"
"Lord Wang, think twice, the minister also said just now, we can also use the power of the Pingtian Army and the Liangzhou Army to expel the Ghost Rong people......" Ye Feng hurriedly persuaded again.
Kong Wenxi followed closely and said: "Lord Wang, only the Ghost Rong people will need to rely on our strength in controlling Ludi, but the other two parties do not need it. So I thought that I would rather hand over Lu Di to the Ghost Rong people than to them, and this is also for the sake of your future and safety, Lord Wang! ”
For a while, the two insisted on their own words and argued.
Some people died, but not completely......
