After dealing with Zhang Yongzhuojin and others, Lu Songli took his entourage to Shanggu County, where he concocted the same method.

The human heart is faint.

The original people of Youzhou, they felt that they were the people of Dali, but the court abandoned them. Pingzhou is a thief, but he saved them from fire and water. Throwing into the arms of Pingzhou is equivalent to jumping into the fire pit again. This feeling disappeared until King Cheng of Jin, King Xie Zhan and others reversed.

At this time, the people of Youzhou are at a loss.

If Lu Songli and they don't do anything, the people of Youzhou will slowly try to accept the new deal, which will take time.

Everyone needs a reason to accept, a reason to change sides. This step can be said to be a bridge, and it needs to be given first by the new deal.

So Lu Songli threw out the officials left behind in Youzhou and let the local people decide whether they would stay or stay.

In this way, the whole people of the two counties of Youzhou were involved, and finally Yuyang County and Heshanggu County of the three counties of Youzhou were roughly plowed over.

You Beiping County don't have to worry too much, because Youbeiping County is close to Pingzhou, and the front was passed by the Xianbei army, and most of the people ran to Pingzhou to seek refuge. The trust value of the people in this county in Pingzhou is also the highest among the three counties in Youzhou.

At this time, the people of Youzhou had a sense of identity with the new deal.

During his stay in Shanggu County, Lü Songli received news that the imperial court was preparing to use troops against Nandi, and it was said that the army had been assembled and marched out.

She thought to herself that the Southland was about to start their first round of tests.

It's a mule or a horse, they all have to be pulled out for a walk.

At the same time, the imperial court issued an order to prohibit Dali merchants from trading with Pingzhou and Nandi, and violators were killed.

Isn't this a blockade?

This Song Mo is really going to war, and he wants to make Pingzhou feel bad.

But Lu Songli is not afraid, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. The final result depends on you.

Lu Songli was not idle in Yuyang County and Shanggu County for a few days, she visited some villages and towns, conducted field investigations, and saw how to restore people's livelihood and economy in the coming year.

Iron needs to be hard.

Southwest, Chengwangfu

King Cheng also received the news that the imperial court was going to use troops against Lingnan, and King Cheng immediately raised the high ground, "Song Mo, this kid finally understands what the difference between inside and outside is." ”

For Song Mo's choice to attack outsiders at the first time, King Cheng was very satisfied.

Although King Cheng followed Pingzhou and reversed, he was actually uncomfortable in his heart, especially when he knew that Lingnan Xie Zhan was also reversed.

In his opinion, what are the two families of Xie Zhan and Qin Lu, and they dare to think about their Dali country? It is time to destroy these two parties, and finally the three brothers of the Song family will fight for this world.

At this time, Dong Jichuan came in from outside.

Cheng Dynasty beckoned, "Mr. Dong, come on!" ”

"As we expected, the imperial court took the lead in sending troops against Xie Zhan, an unlucky bastard." King Cheng felt that Song Mo chose one of the four, and he was the first to be picked, wasn't it unlucky?

After the news of a heroine in Pingzhou came, Dong Jichuan predicted that the first target of the imperial court would be Lingnan. King Cheng regards the other party's credit as everyone's, but he just puts gold on his face.

King Cheng's staff suggested, "King Cheng is blessed with heaven." As the so-called snipe and clam compete, the fisherman wins. We can take this opportunity to expand our territory. ”

Dong Jichuan saw that King Cheng had thought about it seriously, so he was moved, and hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, Xie Tingshi sent a messenger to come, and he is waiting outside the door, do you want to announce it?" ”

"Xie Zhan sent a messenger over? What to do? ”

Dong Jichuan said, "The other party should have come to persuade the prince to form an alliance." Lord Wang, there are still many smart people in this world. ”

King Cheng understood, Dong Jichuan meant that Xie Zhan also speculated that the imperial court would be the first to attack him, so he sent an envoy to the southwest early.

"Then please come in." King Cheng wants to see if this is the case.

Jiang Boya came in and saluted King Cheng as soon as possible.

After King Cheng asked him to excuse himself, he asked him what he meant.

Jiang Boya said bluntly, "I came to invite the prince to form an alliance on behalf of my lord. ”

King Cheng said lazily, "The imperial court wants to attack your Lingnan, and it has nothing to do with this king, why does this king want to form an alliance with your Lingnan?" ”

Jiang Boya nodded, "It's human nature for King Cheng to think so. ”

"But King Cheng knows that Lingnan and Southwest are by no means irrelevant, and my lord thinks that the relationship between us and us is one of tears."

"This time the imperial court attacks Lingnan, although King Cheng can stand by and watch, but after the imperial court destroys my lord, it will inevitably attack King Cheng and King Jin."

"Now that the imperial court is powerful, King Cheng, do you really think that you can compete with the imperial court with the power of a state?"

"We are working in our own way, and it is easy to be broken by the imperial court, and only by joining together can we have a glimmer of life. King Cheng, saving the south is also saving yourself. ”

Thinking that compared with the imperial court, the strength of the southwest is indeed a bit thin, and King Cheng's face is already a little ugly, but he still says untainly, "If this king can't compete with the imperial court with the strength of a state, can he compete with your Lingnan alliance?" ”

Jiang Boya analyzed the current situation with him, "The Dali court is powerful, like a strong man; The southwest and south are weak, like children. The imperial court attacked Lingnan, just like a strong man bullying a child, and he still had spare strength. But it may not be possible for the imperial court to fight two, because it also has to reserve a large army to guard against Xianbei, Pingzhou and other places. This is also the reason why the imperial court only sent troops to Lingnan, instead of fighting on two and three fronts at the same time. ”

The general meaning is that the court beats one of the three of them and is destined to destroy them. If you have one against two, you can't.

"Lord Wang, if we don't join forces, it's likely that neither of us will have a chance to grow up."

"After you Lingnan is gone, I can form an alliance with the King of Jin." King Cheng's words are still full of provocation, they are all alliances, who are they not knotting with?

Jiang Boya said calmly, "We are adjacent to each other. "Although the two places are separated by some mountains and some waters, it doesn't matter, does it?

"There is a natural basis for cooperation. If you wait for the imperial court to destroy the southern land, even if you and the King of Jin can join forces, they are far apart, and they can't be linked efficiently. ”

In the end, there is no way to escape destruction.

King Cheng choked.

"I don't know if King Cheng ever thought that if our Lingnan and Pingzhou were destroyed, Song Mo would be able to suppress you with just a sentence of ancestral family law." Their presence is necessary.

Seeing that King Cheng didn't think so, Jiang Boya changed his statement, "Take 10,000 steps back, King Cheng should also work hard in the direction of the biggest win." King Cheng needs time to strengthen himself, lay more territory, hold more chips, and negotiate with the court in the future. ”

"Therefore, I privately think that King Cheng and my lord have formed an alliance, and the two sides will help each other and fight against the court together. Only then can the prince have the possibility of victory. ”
