Nanqing.

Zhongzhou.

Inside the Walled City Embassy.

"That's it for Baicheng... Is it over?"

The envoys of Baicheng looked miserable, as if they were mourning their concubines. As envoys, nothing is more troublesome than the disappearance of Fang's family, which is equivalent to saying that its existence is meaningless.

What to do?

Salad!

The major city-states are all busy running, so they can't care about this place.

So far, contact has been lost.

The Qianzhai envoy on the side was not much in a better mood, and the situation in Qianzhai was not the same, worse than before, and he only needed to be on guard against Dayan.

Now, Nanqing has to be added.

No!

It is to add a Nanqing whose strength has skyrocketed.

Two-on-two becomes three-on-one, how do you play?

The only thing that gave him a little bit of confidence was Qianzhai's geographical advantage. If he insisted on it, it might be possible to keep it, but life would not be easy.

Year-round preparations for war, trade blockade, this is also a big problem.

"It will get better, maybe there will be a chance in the future." He spoke to comfort the 'companion' in front of him.

"..."

The envoy of Hundred Cities smiled wryly.

Unless Nanqing committed suicide, otherwise, based on what he saw and heard in Lindu these days, under the unprecedented cohesion created by various policies that benefit the people.

In the future, anyone who wants to defy Nanqing's sky will be at the difficulty level of hell.

Chance?

The rich and powerful who were counting on escape?

hehe!

If you want to come back, let's solve the identity problem first.

Once the census is issued and identity certificates are issued, those who go to sea will be black households and will not be allowed to register. As for the replacement? Find out more about the resident agencies in the village.

It is clear how many people there are in the village.

This is also what he thinks is scary about Nanqing.

In the past dynasty.

Most of the government orders go to the town, and most of them are at the county level.

But now, Nanqing's tentacles have directly reached the village level, and it is still a permanent institution. Any manipulation by the wind, Nanqing can detect it in time and take measures.

When I think of this, I feel powerless for a while.

Nanqing like this has few weaknesses.

No.

To say none at all, and not quite, would be being generous.

In the case of no increase in production, consumption has increased several times.

Food, perhaps, was the only thing he thought could cause trouble in Nanqing.

This is the only 'good news'.

. . .

the other end.

The capital of the Dayan Empire.

same.

Upon receiving the news, the Envoy of Hundred Cities went limp, as if he had lost all his strength.

country.

Belief.

Emboldened.

All collapsed, although Dayan did not do it, but he was an accomplice, not only failed to help Baicheng, but also made trouble, partnering to trap 400,000 soldiers.

After that, he helped the tyrant to do evil, and also helped Nanqing to contain Qianzhai.

In the end, it was pierced by Nan Qing.

"The envoy from Qianzhai has gone to the palace again."

"Ah!"

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, even if he persuaded Dayan now, would he be able to save it?

Two against two, the outcome is at most 50-50.

. . .

Palace, hall.

"Your Majesty, Nanqing is very powerful, and it is very likely that he will covet Dayan. Once the balance is broken, it will not only hurt Baicheng and Qianzhai."

"please....."

The Qianzhai envoy tried his best to persuade him.

at this time.

He still holds a sliver of hope, despite the confrontation before, Dayan is an empire after all.

There are no permanent friends and foes, only permanent interests.

"Well, it makes sense!"

"But Nanqing is so powerful, how can Dayan beat him?"

"..."

Lu Jin's counsel left the messenger speechless.

If you don't give it a try, how do you know if you can win? Besides, it's not for you to win, it's just to make Nanqing feel scruples and stop thinking about Qianzhai.

After eating a hundred cities, Nanqing should be full enough.

"Your Majesty, it takes time for Nanqing to conquer hundreds of cities. You don't need to actually attack Nanqing. You just need to show your attitude."

"Nanqing wolf's ambition cannot be allowed to grow."

"..."

Another group of Balabala tried to persuade Lu Jin.

In the end.....he succeeded.

Yes.

Lu Jin agreed to deter Nanqing's request and withdrew the troops confronting Qianzhai.

Happiness came too suddenly!

"Your Majesty is holy!"

The emissary was excited, and finally he was able to send back a good news. Although he couldn't fully trust Lu Jin, he firmly believed that interests are the basis for the operation of the world.

From Lu Jin's point of view, I really can't think of the benefits of letting Nanqing grow.

As for the 400,000 troops who robbed the city together before?

That's all in the past tense, this moment and that moment.

Like a year ago, or a month ago.

All those who thought the world would not change were slapped in the face.

Thinking that Nanyu will not perish, it perishes.

He thought that the vassal king would not lose, but if he lost, it was still a fiasco.

I thought that Baicheng would continue to exist as before, but looking at it today, it was just a joke. It was terminated by Nanqing, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

therefore.

I want to survive in this mutated world.

Only by accepting the fact of 'change', everything in the past cannot be used as an absolute reference, even though Qianzhai also has to take risks, so what?

In fact, is there another option?

. . .

Los Angeles.

Walking on the long-lost street, Shu Fu sighed in his heart, this is the first city he came into contact with when he came to Alien Star.

He also opened a shop and bought a house.

than before.

Has not changed much.

People should eat and drink.

However, there are also some differences.

For example, the Nanqing army passing by on the street from time to time, the border between this place and Qianzhai is naturally the front line, one hundred thousand Nanqing troops have already arrived here one after another.

Ready to enter Qianzhai.

storm?

No!

There was no such plan at all. As early as when the Nanqing army entered Baicheng, the layout of Qianzhai was also in progress.

To know.

When selling watches and lighters before, we established a cooperative relationship with a large number of villages in Qianzhai, and investigated the situation of each village.

Now is the time to make a difference.

The method is very simple.

Come to the door, understand it with "reason", and move it with "emotion".

. . .

at this time.

Taojiazhai, the closest to Los Angeles.

The village owner's face was extremely tangled.

cast?

Still don't vote?

"Nowadays, the Qianzhai army is mostly in the east, defending the Dayan Empire, but the Nanqing army is right in front of us, and will attack soon. You can't wait for support."

"If it is deep in the mountains, the mountains are dangerous and you can resist."

"But is it dangerous here for you?"

"Or, pay the casualties and fight Nanqing to the death."

"Or, let's flee."

"Isn't it good to be attached to Nanqing now and find a way to survive? And Nanqing promised that in the future, he will help build roads, bridges, and various good policies."

"Days will be much better than now."

"..."

Recalling what the visitor said in his mind, the village master really hesitated.

indeed.

The army of Qianzhai had no time to support them, because the plain at the foot of the mountain was different from the dangerous place deep in the mountain, and it was difficult to defend against it.

Even if you guard against it.

Casualties are also great.

Moreover, Qianzhai will not give compensation.

For a moment, my heart was extremely entangled.

. . .

And thirty miles further inside, there is a stockade.

"The village owners in Jieshan are already thinking about it. Once you vote, it means that you will not only face the Nanqing army, but also the soldiers of the various villages that will help Nanqing."

"Think about it carefully, and don't mistake yourself."

"..."

The village owner also fell silent.

. . .

This is the simple process of 'overpowering people with power'.

Threatening those at the farthest edge, saying that they are attacking to cover their faces, and the further inward, they say that the outer villages are all under consideration. Don't underestimate the power of the 'chain of suspicion'.

If there are ten floors.

The first floor is the outermost and the tenth floor is the innermost.

So.

When there is no foreign aid.

From the second floor to the ninth floor, everyone thinks that the first floor cannot handle it.

If you can't bear it.

good.

The second floor becomes the front line, and the third to tenth floors think that the second floor can't handle it, and so on, and finally reach the cognition of 'perfect'.

---- All lines of defense are unstoppable.

If the foreign aid is timely or has time to prepare, this chain cannot be formed.

However, the Nanqing army did not notify too long in advance, only half a day to consider, and clearly informed that all the surrounding village owners had been notified, and they were very moved.

When trust is not strong, for half a day, nothing can be done.
