The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 166

Ao Shi Tian Xia was really disgusted, this guy actually pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger, he was really good at pretending to be stupid.

Why is it not nonsense to just listen to the words of the ministers of the DPRK and China and then make an order?

He now understands that this player called Ren Woxing, although on the surface he looks easy to talk and seems to understand nothing, but in fact, he plays dirty tricks behind his back, and every trick is better than the last.

If it weren't for the current alliance with Ren Tian, ​​Ao Shi Tianxia couldn't help but declare war on him directly!

The Xinguo caravan that had just finished the deal with him hadn't left the city yet. If he tore up the covenant and swallowed up the caravan, he would have earned enough food and at the same time let the other party suffer a dumb loss.

All of a sudden, the idea of ​​being proud of the world was really ready to move.

After a while, he calmed down again.

As long as he robbed the opponent's caravan, the covenant would be torn up, and he would directly enter the state of war. The opponent would definitely become angry and send troops to attack. In this way, wouldn't he be attacked by the enemy?
Another one, even if the other party does not attack and tear up the covenant, it is already too much for the country to bear, and the complaints of the people will inevitably increase again. At that time, if there is another rebellion in the country, it will be over.

However, the southern country cannot be handed over to the new country in this way. This neutral country is very important to him. Losing it is equivalent to being alone and helpless.

After thinking about it, Ao Shi Tian Xia gritted his teeth: "Pass the decree to Wang Tu, let him go all out to win the Southern Kingdom to our side, and give money and horses when necessary."

"Yes."

At the same time, in the Southern Kingdom Hall.

The monarch of the Southern Kingdom sat in front, while Chen Xu and Wang Tu knelt and sat on both sides of the main hall, one left and one right, looking at each other with hostility and vigilance.

The posture of the courts of these small neutral countries is similar to that of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, when meeting the king in ancient China, it was not necessary to fully bow down.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the monarch, like his courtiers, knelt and sat in front of the table, because there were no suitable chairs at that time.

Especially during the Han Dynasty, when the prime minister was exhausted to see the emperor, the emperor had to stand up and give the prime minister a seat, and when the prime minister was sick, the emperor had to visit him in person.

The prime ministers and ministers of the Sui and Tang Dynasties also had seats when they went to the court to perform affairs.

In the Song Dynasty, the prime minister could only stand and discuss matters with the emperor.Kneeling was a practice in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that "all officials should kneel" in the "Great Court Conference", and basically just bowed. In the Qing Dynasty, this kind of kneeling ceremony became popular.

When the player first entered the game, in order to give the player a sense of satisfaction, the ritual of kneeling was performed. After the country was upgraded to a principality, the player could choose to abolish this ritual of kneeling and bowing instead, or even wait for the country to The level is higher, and all the ministers can sit.

At this moment, in the main hall, Wang Tu cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, the monarch of our country has always been on good terms with His Majesty, and we love each other as brothers and sisters. Why did His Majesty break his promise today because of a mere nameless small country? Could it be that His Majesty broke his promise if the news spread? , to make the world ridicule? After a long time, who is willing to make friends with the king?"

"This……"

The monarch hesitated, and Chen Xu immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is wrong. The small country he mentioned has just saved the country of Ao Shi Tian Xia. If it were not for the benevolence and righteousness of his country's king to conduct business and trade with other countries, I think that the food of other countries would be lost at this moment." There has been a deficit, and even over time, there will be a phenomenon of exchanging sons and eating. How can we have the same brotherhood and the same hatred of the enemy? Your Majesty, think about it, is it only the Proud World Kingdom that is attacked? When you send troops , Has there ever been a country that is proud of the world and sent troops to save the siege of the southern country?"

Wang Tu said angrily: "Shut up! Country man, how dare you lie here?"

Chen Xu was calm and composed: "My ignorant child, I, Chen, have been reading poetry and books since I was a child. Although I am not a family of Zhongming Dingshi, I am also a master of the party. Chen has outstanding abilities, which is why I was recruited by His Majesty to serve the country. Now it is Seeing that the southern country was bewitched by your country, and couldn't bear to see the southern country fall into dire straits, that's why I went to the southern country."

The two of them were at the top of the main hall, and they were really fighting with each other. The monarch of the Southern Kingdom was stunned and didn't know who to choose.

Ren Tian, ​​who was far away in Nan County, heard continuous system prompts at this time.

"Ding, the favorability of the southern kingdom towards the new kingdom has increased. Currently, the new kingdom has the highest favorability among the diplomatic forces in the southern kingdom, and it is possible to form an alliance."

"Ding, the southern country's favorability towards the new country has dropped. Currently, the new country's favorability is second among the diplomatic forces in the southern country and cannot form an alliance."

"Ding, the South Country's favorability towards Xin Country has increased..."

The verbal war between the two lobbyists made Nanguo's favorability towards Xinguo and Aoshitianxiaguo really keep rising and falling.

This is also the case between Ren Tian and Ao Shi Tianxia, ​​who are constantly competing for the Southern Kingdom through lobbyists.

The Southern Kingdom is very important to Aoshi Tianxia as the only remaining ally; to Ren Tian, ​​it is also very important as a pawn for the New Kingdom to run Pingyuan County.

Seeing the stalemate, Wang Tu immediately gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, the king of our country, is willing to donate a hundred horses and twenty gold to win your favor."

The monarch, who was hesitating, was overjoyed: "Is this true?"

"Of course it is true, these supplies will be sent to the southern country before this evening."

"it is good!"

The monarch laughed, and Chen Xu wanted to say something more, but he already said: "Messenger Chen, there is no need to say more, this king and Aoshi Tianxia Kingdom are also considered as good friends of Qin and Jin, and cannot be separated by external forces."

Seeing this, Chen Xu could only bow his hands: "Yes."

Not long after, Ren Tian in the palace received an urgent report.

"Failed?"

Ren Tian sat in the imperial study room, thoughtful, Ao Shi Tian Xia would be willing to spend all his money, to give a gift to a neutral country?

"Then let's see who has more means."

Immediately, Ren Tian wrote another letter and asked his men to bring it to the Shanzi Army operating in Pingyuan County.

Ao Shi Tianxia could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that the alliance with Nanguo had been consolidated. The other party was really sinister, but fortunately, the ally was stable. In case the other party wanted to send troops to attack him, he would have a buffer on his side .

Now Ao Shi Tian Xia dare not break his face with Ren Tian, ​​because he still needs supplies from Xin Guo, but he also has to guard against Xin Guo.

Thinking of this, Ao Shi Tian Xia sent another friend message to Ren Tian.

"Brother Ren, I'm so sorry, the southern country is my neutral country, so I can't let brother Ren take away my love."

Ren Tian was very calm: "Brother, what did you say? I don't care about these things. I said I only care about farming. Have you forgotten?"

Ao Shitianxia's mouth twitched, "Okay then, I hope you can continue to have fun cooperating with my brother."

Just, the second day.

The Shanzi Army in Pingyuan County had already quietly arrived on the mountain near the west, looking at the city of Nanguo from afar.

"The gate is open, and there are caravans coming in and out. One of the caravans from the country is about to leave the city, and there is a livestock farm in the north."

Wang Xuan sat on the horse, with the soldiers of the Shanzi Army behind him. The number of cavalry had also increased from the previous [-] to [-].

"First plunder the caravan, lead the army out of the city, and then encircle and annihilate."

Wang Xuan and the others are already very familiar with this method. A small neutral country of this size does not have many troops at all.

After the caravan came out, not far from the city, Wang Xuan had already raised his right hand. The next moment, the soldiers of the Shanzi Army behind him put on their masks in a tacit understanding and galloped out on horseback.

"drive!"

The members of that group of caravan saw a group of menacing cavalry rushing out not far away, and they were frightened immediately. They didn't dare to guard the goods at all, but dropped the goods and ran away.

"Chase!"

Wang Xuan shouted loudly.

To be a thief, you have to be ruthless.

The horses under the seats galloped wildly, and the Sun Moon Knife in their hands was already raised, and the caravan member at the end was directly hacked to death with a single knife.

"rush!"

Among the cavalry, Prince Baiyu drew a bow and crossbow directly from behind, aimed at a fleeing caravan guard, and shot an arrow directly.

puff!
The cavalry was flying, and the southern caravan guard fell in a pool of blood.

Only a few people in the front ran wildly as if they were dying, and even shouted: "There are horse thieves! There are horse thieves!"

The soldiers guarding the city immediately organized out of the city to rescue them, but what they didn't expect was that the group of horse thieves were aggressive and had no intention of retreating at all. Looking at the infantry camp that had been formed out of the city, they rushed over directly!
The level of the southern army is only C level. Now the Shanzi Army is already C level. Almost every soldier has very high weapon proficiency and horse riding proficiency. They are already qualified cavalry. Therefore, they are facing these problems. The infantry are not afraid at all.

Under the leadership of Wang Xuan, the soldiers of the Shanzi Army rushed forward, but in an instant, they rushed directly like a torrent.

Bang!
Those soldiers did not organize an effective counterattack, and the entire camp was scattered at once. Some soldiers were like sandbags and were directly knocked away. The sun and moon sword in Wang Xuan's hand opened and closed, and the soldiers behind him also drew out Short knife, crazy slashing!

It was just a sprint round, with all kinds of screams and blood gushing, and soldiers fell to the ground one by one.

The people near the city gate were already screaming and running madly towards the city with great fear.

An anxious soldier at the top of the city was already in position, with the bow and arrow in his hand ready to go. However, looking at the horse thieves fighting with his own camp, they were not good at shooting.

"Quickly withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

In the chaos, the general of the group of soldiers shouted.

This group of scattered soldiers fought and fled, but Wang Xuan seemed to have no intention of letting them go.

It turned out to surround the remaining hundreds of soldiers, as if forming an encirclement circle. The faces of those soldiers were full of fear, and their morale dropped crazily at this moment.

When the monarch in the city received the news, he rushed to the top of the city in a hurry, only seeing the scene in the distance, he was also terrified.

"Why is the horse thief here again?"

"My lord, what should we do now?"

The monarch is also anxious, what can he do now, although the number of defenders in the city is not bad, if they go out of the city, they will be delivered to their door, but if they don't leave the city, the five hundred soldiers will be gone.

But at this moment, another burst of smoke appeared from the south.

"what happened?"

At this moment, I suddenly saw a large group of soldiers appearing, like half a legion of soldiers, the leader of the soldiers was still carrying the new character banner, shouting and killing, and rushed towards this side.

"This is Xinguo?"

The monarch of the Southern Kingdom was a little confused.

When Wang Xuan saw the New Kingdom soldiers coming, he shouted: "Retreat!"

The Shanzi Army under his command did not hesitate at all. He immediately reined in his horse, turned around, and ran towards the distance.

It only took a moment, but before the five hundred soldiers came back to their senses, they saw that the group of horse thieves had already left the place.

Chen Xu had already rushed with his soldiers, went to the city, went up to the top of the city, and when he saw the king, he clasped his fists immediately: "Is the king safe and sound?"

"Safe and safe, safe and sound. Thank you so much for your help this time."

Chen Xu smiled: "What did your majesty say? Although your majesty has not formed an alliance with our new country, nor has he defected to our new country, but his majesty of our new country treats all directions with benevolence and righteousness. How can he not save you? After seeing your country suffer During the siege, I immediately led the soldiers from the pass to come to the rescue because I couldn’t bear to see the king suffer at the hands of horse thieves.”

These words really made the monarch extremely excited, and Chen Xu said: "Your Majesty, from now on the new Congress will send troops to protect the southern country. If the horse thief dares to come again, he will never come back!"

"Okay, okay, this king misjudged the person before. It turns out that Xinguo treats me well. Don't worry, my alliance with Aoshixiatianxia Kingdom is over. I am willing to form an alliance with Xinguo."

Chen Xu smiled: "Naturally, our country will also send troops to protect the trade with our country in the future."

Ao Shi Tian Xia was still checking his soldiers in the barracks, only to hear a system prompt.

"Ding, the Southern Kingdom's favorability towards the Aoshi Tianxia Kingdom has declined. Currently, the Aoshi Tianxia Kingdom has the second highest favorability among the diplomatic forces in the Southern Kingdom, and it is impossible to form an alliance."

When Ao Shi Tian Xia heard the system prompt, he was stunned.

It's only been one day, why did Xinguo take it back again?

"Let me do it, you really want to fight me to the end."

Aoshi Tianxia's face was gloomy. What method did Xinguo use? He spent money and gave away horses, but Nanguo turned to form an alliance with Xinguo?
He took a deep breath: "Send an order to order Wang Tu to immediately repair the relationship with the southern country and take back the allies."

When they returned to the Royal Study Room and the order was issued, Wang Tu also got feedback. Xinguo's favorability is currently far ahead of Aoshitianxia. In a short period of time, it will be difficult to shake the relationship between Nanguo and Xinguo.

"Let me do what I want, you're ugly enough, poach my corner."

Ao Shi Tian Xia is so angry that the Southern Kingdom and the New Kingdom have formed an alliance. If this continues, the New Kingdom will swallow up the Southern Kingdom. It will only be a matter of time before the Southern Kingdom becomes the territory of the New Kingdom.

In this way, Xinguo inserts its chess piece behind its own country, which is simply a thorn in the back. From now on, its own country will be Sun Tzu.

The more Ao Shi Tian Xia thought about it, the more angry he became, and he really wished he could break his face with Ren Tian immediately.

What I didn't expect was that Ren Tian's friend information suddenly came over.

　Thanks to the "l bubble gray l" brother for the reward, I owe my brother 6 updates, the total is 31 updates, and the progress is still 6/31
