Chapter 727: After the War
This war ended a little suddenly, Liu Fan was not even ready, this war was already over, all the immortals withdrew, and they didn't leave a single person. The clansmen of the God of War lineage suffered heavy casualties, and Ximen Feng followed the immortals away, as Ximen Feng said, this war has just begun, and it is not yet the end of the time, and a more cruel war is still to come. The Liliang of the God of War is no longer enough, and now the only people who can help the God of War are the Divine Clan and the Twelve Age Divine Beasts, Kunpeng and Zichou have already gone to find the Twelve Ages Divine Beasts, while Ximen Feng is going to find the Divine Clan, and only the Divine Clan can provide the help provided by the God of War Clan. The Divine Race, a legendary race, must stand up in this great war. The four veins are now going their separate ways, and the Liliang of the God of War is no longer enough to calm this war.
"We are the only ones left in the empty imperial city, and the next great war will be the moment to decide our fate, and we don't know when the next big war will be. After Liu Fan watched everyone disappear, he suddenly felt a sense of helplessness in his heart in the face of the empty imperial capital, the strength of the enemy was so strong, that Liu Fan's subordinates were not the opponents of these people at all. Liu Fan's subordinates were simply not enough in the eyes of these immortals, and even Jing Ke, the strongest among these people, was not their opponent at all. Although Liu Fan is full of confidence in front of Gong Feiyang, he doesn't know what to do when he really faces the situation in front of him, the gap between the strengths cannot be made up in a few years, and now the empire is still falling apart, the war is continuous, and the empire that was already about to be pacified. Now it has also been overshadowed by the intervention of these immortals.
"Gong Jin. Wang Qian. Bai Qi, you estimate how long it will take us to completely quell the civil strife in the Empire, and we are running out of time. "Liu Fan's subordinates who were able to rush to the imperial capital to support have already rushed to Liu Fan's side, Wang Qian, Luo Cheng, Yue Fei, Meng Gong. Ma Chao, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and others all appeared at Liu Fan's side, they were the closest people to Liu Fan and the first to rush over to support. Shanhetu just absorbed Liu Fan's Shenwu Army and ordinary people within thousands of kilometers of the imperial capital, and these subordinates summoned by Liu Fan did not, they all fought with Liu Fan on the front line, but they were not able to play the slightest role, they had no way to change the current battle situation, everyone of them was more or less injured now, and none of them were completely injured.
"My lord. Now there are three of our biggest opponents, and among them is the bloodline army of the three veins. Whether it is the strength of the troops, the generals, or the weapons and equipment, they are not inferior to our Shenwu army in the slightest, and they are only inferior to our army in terms of fighting will and sense of honor. The other is Dong Zhuo in the north, this person has nothing to fear, but his biggest reliance is those alien races in Liangzhou and the remnants of the previous dynasty, if those immortals want us to perish in the mutual killing, Dong Zhuo's liliang They will definitely not give up. Bai Qi drew a schematic diagram for everyone on the ground, and everyone looked at Bai Qi's analysis intently: "There is also a Divine Cult Army in the square corner of Youzhou, but this army is not to worry, they lack enough background, and lack enough support, we only need to send a large army to destroy them as quickly as possible, in addition to the rebellion of Yingzhou, but Yingzhou is lonely overseas, if you want to attack the empire, you must have a strong navy, with their strength to break through our coastal defense line with their strength is simply not enough." Therefore, if we want to quell the internal strife in the Empire, even if they do not have the help of outsiders, it will take us at least three years to completely quell the internal strife in the Empire. β
"My lord, now our enemies are not only the interior of the empire, but also the powerful enemies surrounding the empire, and the barbarians and demon clans are the first targets we have to deal with. The lion empire in the north is in the same vein as us, although we are different in skin color, language, culture and various living habits, but we have a common interest, that is, to live, so the lion empire in the north is an opponent we can join forces. Bai Qi drew a simple border map of the empire on the ground and said to Liu Fan: "The demon clan and the barbarian clan are our top priority, although the demon clan suffered heavy losses in this imperial capital war, but they can get the help of the beast immortals, and their strength has increased compared to before, so he is our opponent who must be cautious, and now with the strength of our Jiaozhou Corps, we can't fight against the demon clan at all." β
"The cavalry of the barbarians has always been a big problem for our Tianlong Empire, after the failure of our Bingzhou Corps, under the leadership of Tianwu Hou, relying on the Yuntian Fortress is still holding on, but behind the Merge Prefecture, Chen Qingzhi's Metropolitan Governor has formed a cavalry corps that is not weak, and there is also a cavalry corps that is not weak in the army of our Shenwu Army, as long as we defeat Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou Corps and control Liangzhou, we can get a large number of excellent cavalry, so it is not a matter of worrying to recruit the Liangzhou Corps to the south, at least relying on the Yuntian Fortress to block the attack of the Barbarian Kingγ In addition, there is the Sea Clan, our navy is very weak, often the coastline they can break through from any location, and our navy does not have enough strength to go deep into the depths of the sea to attack them, but we also have a natural advantage against the Sea Tribe, that is, the Sea Clan cannot leave the water for a long time, if we fail, we only need to shrink our forces, relying on inland defense, we can defeat them. β
"However, the top priority is that we must pacify the civil strife in the empire as soon as possible, otherwise our forces will be seriously constrained from all sides, and it will be difficult to form a troop advantage against the bloodline corps, so that the war to pacify the empire will be seriously dragged down, and we will probably die in the war at that time. Bai Qi said to Liu Fan with a solemn face, Liu Fan nodded heavily, the empire is indeed full of wolf smoke now, if the internal strife of the empire is not pacified as soon as possible, and the entire empire is concentrated to fight against the invasion of the demon race, the barbarian race and the sea clan, human beings have only one way to die.
The strength of the Heavenly Dragon Empire is far from enough to quell the civil strife, let alone fight against the demon clan and the barbarians. Now the legions of the empire are fighting on all fronts, and except for one square corner army that is on the verge of extinction, the remaining three shili are still strong in combat. Although Liu Fan's Shenwu Army's combat effectiveness is strong, the combat effectiveness of the Bloodline Corps is not inferior to that of the Shenwu Army. Liu Fan can't find many helpers now. And the demon clan and the barbarian clan are pressing step by step. Especially these beast immortals help the demon race and the barbarians. Their strength has been further improved, the Jiaozhou Corps and the Bingzhou Corps were originally on the defensive, and the pressure was very heavy, and now the defensive pressure is even heavier.
"My lord, in fact, it is not, the war in the empire seems to be serious, but there is a liliang that we can fight for. Wang Yangming stood up and sketched on the map drawn by Bai Qi: "Lord, please see, there are a total of four liliang teams fighting with us at present. Among them, Zhang Bai's strength is actually the strength of the Bloodline Legion, which we can completely ignore. The other is the Legion of the Square Horns, which is now going to perish under the blow of the Aobai Legion, and it can also be ignored. Among them, the one we are most likely to fight for is him, Dong Zhuo. β
"Dong Zhuo is the king of the north of the empire, and his strength and ambition are not small, especially the Liangzhou Corps that is brave and good at fighting. Most of the excellent cavalry of the empire came from two states, one of which was the merger state, but now the merger state is constantly fighting, and we can not control much territory. Although General Chen Qingzhi's strength is expanding rapidly, he must form an offensive momentum against the barbarians. There are not enough troops. There is also Liangzhou, Liangzhou has been a brave and good soldier since ancient times, although Dong Zhuo is ambitious, but it is also a liliang that we can win over. Wang Yang explained to Liu Fan in detail: "Now our purpose is the same, not only to protect this empire, but to protect the entire human race. As long as we explain the truth to Dong Zhuo clearly and give them enough benefits, he will naturally know what to do. β
"What does the advisor think should be done?"
"Lord, what Dong Zhuo wants is nothing more than fame and fortune, as long as we give him enough of these two things, naturally the Liangzhou Corps can be used by me. After recovering Dong Zhuo, we can get a powerful cavalry corps, and when the time comes, the Liangzhou Corps will march east to fight and fight under General Chen Qingzhi, so that we can not only achieve the goal of weakening Dong Zhuo, but also take the opportunity to strengthen our control over Liangzhou, in addition to achieving the goal of fighting against the barbarians. Wang Yangming said lightly to Liu Fan: "Lord, what Dong Zhuo needs now is a name, the name of the king of the north, I suggest that the lord might as well give it to him, and at the same time promise him heavy benefits, and agree to divide the north and south of his empire, so that we can free up a large number of troops to fight against the bloodline corps." β
"I don't have any problems with the title of the king of the north and the division of the north and the south, the key is how to make Dong Zhuo willingly transfer troops into the state to fight, this is the key to the problem. Liu Fan frowned and said: "We gave Dong Zhuo the title of King of the North, and divided the north and south with him, but we transferred troops to fight in the state, and the wise men around Dong Zhuo will definitely be able to find out that we want to take the opportunity to weaken his strength to achieve the goal of weakening him, and then take the opportunity to meddle in Liangzhou." β
"My lord, that's what I'm going to do. Wang Yangming smiled and said to Liu Fan: "Lord, Dong Zhuo's strength is very strong, his soldiers are very brave, the lion empire in the north and the alien races in Liangzhou and the sinners of the previous dynasty are fully supporting Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, since Dong Zhuo wants the imperial capital, we might as well let the imperial capital go out and let Dong Zhuo let him take charge of the imperial capital, but the royal family we have to take it away." In addition, we can send someone to contact the Lion Empire in the north, as long as we can reach an agreement with the Lion Empire, Dong Zhuo, who is caught in the middle, is not afraid that he will not agree, in addition, we can also issue an amnesty decree in the name of the royal family, pardoning the sins of the northern aliens and the remnants of the previous dynasty, and let them regain their freedom, on the condition that they form a legion to assist us in the battle, and as soon as the army is formed and transferred out of Liangzhou, the control of the corps is not in their hands. β
"My lord, we have issued an amnesty decree to those alien races in the north and the remnants of the previous dynasty, not only can we get their troops to help, but we can also use this opportunity to persecute Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's powerful source of troops and weapons, the most important thing is that these alien races and the remnants of the previous dynasty help them, as long as they are willing to cooperate with us, Dong Zhuo has no way to refuse our conditions. Wang Yangming said analytically for Liu Fan: "My lord, in fact, it is very simple to transfer Dong Zhuo's troops, and clearly tell him that Bingzhou is their territory, and we can hand over everything in the north of the empire to him, and Bingzhou is naturally among the transfers, and Bingzhou has become their territory, I don't believe that Dong Zhuo will watch his territory being invaded by barbarians, and when the time comes, we will send General Chen Qingzhi to lead troops to assist them in the battle with the great righteousness of the country." The next thing depends on General Chen Qingzhi's ability. β
"Not bad. It's a good idea. Moreover, the main forces of the Bloodline Legion are concentrated in the north, as long as we give up the north, Dong Zhuo may not be able to stay with the Bloodline Legion because of interests, as long as they have a conflict, we can reap the benefits of the fisherman. After Dong Zhuo clashed with the people of the Bloodline Legion, we could assist them in terms of weapons and equipment, as well as troops, and we could also take the initiative to help Dong Zhuo reduce the pressure, and the main force of the Bloodline Legion must be coming at us. When the time comes, we will fight against the people of the Bloodline Legion on the one hand and support Dong Zhuo on the other hand, and fatten his hungry wolf, wouldn't Dong Zhuo not be tempted by the two or three state capitals in the north. β
"The method is not bad, but Dong Zhuo may not agree to us, and the Lion Empire in the north has been an enemy of us for thousands of years, can we really say that they will cooperate with us?" Liu Fan looked at Liu Fan with a puzzled expression, everyone's faces showed embarrassment, the Lion Empire and the Heavenly Dragon Empire have been fighting for thousands of years, and it is obviously difficult to change the positions of both sides in a short period of time.
"I have a solution, and that way requires sacrifice. Wang Yangming looked at everyone with a smile and said: "This method is simple and simple, and complicated and complicated. However, it is not easy for the lord. β
"You still have to say it directly, as long as I can do it, it's not impossible. Liu Fan looked at Wang Yangming with a solemn face and said. Liu Fan looked at Wang Yangming's face and knew that this matter must not be simple, and this matter definitely needs Liu Fan to nod and agree.
"My lord, what are we fighting with the Lion Empire for thousands of years? The inheritance of the Lion Empire has been much longer than ours, and a large part of the northern territory of the empire has been taken from them, so the current territory is also a focus of contention. Wang Yangming said lightly: "In addition, there is another name, that is, the name, the Lion Empire has been broken by us several times, if we can give them a book at this time, we are willing to bow down to them and respect them as the suzerain, I don't think they may be unwilling." β
"The lord can't, we have been fighting against the lion empire for thousands of years, the empire has never yielded to any shili, if the lord rashly claims to the lion empire, it may be a big loss of popular support, and the reputation we have accumulated with great difficulty will be ruined, please think twice." As soon as the generals heard Wang Yangming's words, their faces changed, if they really followed Wang Yangming's method, they would really have no face to gain a foothold in the army. Liu Fan's face changed when he heard Wang Yangming's words, this practice obviously touched the bottom of Liu Fan's heart, and Liu Fan couldn't do it anyway to be a vassal to the Lion Empire.
"My lord, no. Zhou Yu smiled and said to the generals: "My lord, I heard that General Luo Cheng's wife is the princess of the Lion Empire, and she is deeply loved by the king of the Lion Empire. And she also has an older sister, who has not been out of the cabinet so far, I think it is better for us to ask the Lion Empire for peace, the lord marries their princess to form a family of children and daughters, and the throne of the empire is still sitting on the emperor, and the real power of the empire is in the hands of the lord. I think the king of the Lion Empire may not refuse when he sees this situation, so that although the lord is one point shorter than the king of the Lion Empire, but the lord is only a prince and not the emperor, we have not lost anything in the general sense, on the contrary, we can take this opportunity to ease the relationship between us and the Lion Empire, and take the opportunity to discuss cooperation, and with the assistance of General Luo Cheng's wife, we are at least sixty percent sure of convincing the king of the Lion Empire. β
"Yes, my lord. Wei Qing stood aside and nodded in agreement: "Since ancient times, friendship has often been a part of war, not to mention that we still need to use the liliang of the Lion Empire to help us get through the current difficulties, and it is not impossible to marry them, once our strength is restored, the internal strife of the empire is pacified, with the strength of our Tianlong Empire, who will be the suzerainty at that time, I don't think I need to say it, our army has absolute confidence to let them submit to the rule of our Tianlong Empire." β
"Okay, in that case, I'll do as you say. Liu Fan nodded heavily and said, now this is the only way, now pacifying this empire is the most important task, Dong Zhuo can be the king of the north, or he can divide the north and south with Liu Fan, but when the Shenwu army is freed up, Dong Zhuo must honestly hand over power.
"Yangming, Dong Zhuo's affairs are entrusted to you, Zhao Gao sent a letter to Yangzhou, ordering Su Qin to quickly rush to the imperial capital to meet me. Liu Fan turned to the crowd and ordered: "The rest of the people are ready to reorganize the army, settle the people, pack up their things, and once the agreement is reached, we will evacuate the imperial capital immediately." β
"Dijing, I will definitely come back!Divine Realm, Immortal Realm, I will definitely make you regret what you have done today!" Liu Fan looked at the deep sky and swore secretly in his heart, and at the same time, the generals under his command had already opened the mountain and river map and began to restore all the situations within thousands of kilometers around the imperial capital.
