The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 171 Send someone to Xinguo for help

This system prompt made Ren Tian slightly stunned. He opened the attribute bar and checked it. Indeed, in terms of national luck, the previous 10 points have been reduced to 5 points, which are all due to the increase of the beast-faced square tripod.

After careful calculation, since I met that alchemist Yu Banxian, before I knew it, the blessing effect time had passed.

"Could it be that my luck has been so good recently, and it has nothing to do with this country's fortune?"

Ren Tian thought about it for a while, luck is the most elusive thing, he thought about it, during this period of time, he first found Ban Jieyu as his concubine, and then there were several random events in succession, and he got red sleeve tricks and 500 gold , and one more thing, this time the talents recruited by the Golden Channel are definitely not C-level, they can be regarded as B-level.

The most important thing is that Ye Gong can switch between civil servants and generals at will, and each status has corresponding skills, talents.

From this point of view, it seems that the increase in national luck does have something to do with it.

Take back your thoughts, if there is such a random event that increases the national luck next time, you have to try it anyway, it's too profitable.

Ye Gong, the newly recruited talent this time, is naturally used as a civil servant. As a general, Ye Gong is actually very powerful. In history, Ye Gong assisted Zuo Sima to defeat the barbarian regime in the north overnight; and then suppressed the rebellion of Gongsun. After retiring, he also led troops to attack Sanyi once, making Sanyi and Chu State allied.

But what Xinguo lacks are civil servants, so it is better for Ye Gong to be civil servants. His two passive civil servant skills are not bad. Although there are no cities along the river in Xinguo now, there will be some in the future. As long as it is along the river, the city will be threatened by flooding.

The date of Ye Gong's arrival in Xinguo is just tomorrow, which also makes Ren Tian very comfortable, it's really smooth, Xinguo has another talent.

Just maintain this momentum and continue to develop towards a small principality!
……

Pingyuan County, Glory Country.

The Kingdom of Glory is located in the northwest of the Kingdom of Aoshi Tianxia, ​​and they are actually close neighbors. The two are very familiar with each other. After all, since the beginning of the game until now, it is difficult to know each other. They don't know how many times they have greeted each other's relatives.

The player of Glory Kingdom is called Glory on Sword, and he is holding the morning court at the moment.

"Why hasn't there been any movement from Aoshi Tianxia Kingdom recently?"

"Your Majesty, according to reports from spies, Aoshi Tianxia Kingdom is currently in a defensive posture. It only controls the three cities under its command, as well as nearby horse farms, livestock farms, and resource points farther away. It seems that there is no plan to send troops to guard it."

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Aoshitianxia is currently conducting commercial trade with the countries to the south. Judging from the information obtained, it should have purchased a lot of food."

Glory on the sword pondered for a while: "What about the rest of the countries, what's going on in the Feng country, and what about the Shun country?"

The closest to Glory Kingdom are these two player kingdoms, and Glory on the Sword has also dealt with them the most, fighting each other for the longest time.

"There is no movement for the time being."

Glory on the sword tapped the dragon chair lightly, and suddenly said, "What's the name of the country that trades and trades in the world?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Xinguo."

"Xinguo, isn't this the player who wanted to form an alliance with me last time?"

Glory on the Sword frowned slightly. He opened the diplomatic bar and looked at it. Before, Xinguo had indeed sent an alliance message. What the other party meant was that it would be easy to do business after forming an alliance. Xinguo can provide various materials. Sell.

Glory on the Sword saw that there were not many restrictions on the covenant, it was very loose, and the punishment for breaking the covenant was very low, so he agreed directly.

He asked again: "Where is this new country?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Xinguo is not in Pingyuan County, but Xinguo is very active in Pingyuan County. From what we have learned, Xinguo seems to have formed alliances with other countries, and then conducts business with these countries. Nearby There is the Kingdom of Aoshi Tianxia, ​​and further away, there is Ze Kingdom to the north of **yuan County."

"This guy, does he want to use business to establish a country? It looks like he should be very rich."

The eyes of Glory on the Sword are bright. He has not seen a country that vigorously develops commerce, but caravans are indeed a very profitable way. In the early stage, there is a shortage of money. He only needs to build more markets, get a few caravans out, and then develop roads. , can guarantee treasury revenue.

"Pass down the order, let all the spies start to look up the trade routes of Xinguo in Pingyuan County, and all the caravans of Xinguo will be robbed by me!"

"Yes!"

……

The legions of Glory Kingdom were dispatched soon. Apart from the necessary guarding troops, several legions turned into small groups and scattered in all directions.

To the north, a caravan was pulling a full load of goods, heading back to Nanxian County.

"This time I really made a lot of money."

A man in the caravan was delighted from ear to ear. Hundreds of horses, cattle and sheep were gathered behind him and drove towards North County.

The wind in the plain was blowing so loudly that the men in the caravan had to shrink their heads.

"When we return to Nan County, we can make a lot of money by selling these livestock."

The leading man sat on the horseback and took a sip from the wine bag he carried with him: "There is still fur, and it will be winter soon, and the value of this fur will also increase, and then we can make another fortune."

There was a young man beside him, he was full of excitement: "Father, then this time I made money, can you give me some money?"

"Whatever you want, I'll keep the money for you to find a wife."

The rest of the men in the caravan laughed.

The wind in Pingyuan County continued to blow violently. At this time, there was the sound of galloping horse hooves not far away, coming closer and closer.

"There are cavalry!"

"alert!"

Swish swish!
The men in the caravan immediately drew their weapons and guarded the horses, cattle and sheep. There were dozens of them.

In the distance, the cavalrymen with long spears in their hands had already charged towards them one after another. There were hundreds of cavalrymen, the number of which was almost hopeless, as thick as black ink under the gloomy dark clouds.

"Father! They're going to kill us!"

The young man's words were full of fear.

"Impossible. His Majesty has already said that he has signed an alliance with the surrounding countries to facilitate our trade."

But the words were far inferior to the facts. As soon as they met, those cavalrymen suddenly stabbed at him with their long spears.

Puff puff!
The caravan guard still wanted to resist, but before the knife in his hand fell down, his body was pierced through.

Bright blood spurted out, and hundreds of cavalrymen instantly overwhelmed the group of caravan guards.

In less than half a minute, the ground was full of corpses, and then the group of cavalry, with the group of horses, cattle and sheep, rushed towards the Kingdom of Glory.

On the spot, only scattered corpses and traces of the battle were left, and the broken carriage was left there, looking quite desolate.

……

West side of Plain County.

A caravan is full of goods, ready to be pulled to a small country ahead to sell.

It is now autumn, the temperature is lower, and it is windy and cold in Pingyuan County, so Jimo old wine is very popular, the price is higher than that in Hejian County, and the profit is more.

This group of caravans did not realize that the cavalry from the east was rapidly approaching them.

As soon as they got close, the cavalry group immediately launched an attack.

Suddenly, the horses neighed and screamed repeatedly, and all the caravan guards on the horses fell into a pool of blood.

This caravan was also robbed.

This phenomenon didn't just happen to the two caravans, but any caravan from the New Kingdom whose information was searched would face merciless looting and massacre by the Glory Nation.

Some had just brought goods from Nan County and were going to sell them, and some had already completed the transaction. There were many valuable things in the caravan, but all of them fell into the hands of Glory Nation.

Even some cavalry who were approaching the vicinity of Beixian chased after the caravan. Fortunately, Beixian sent troops to scare the opponent away.

……

Hejian County.

The soil in Hejian County is extremely fertile and it is close to a large river, so there are still many countries on this land, most of which are small neutral countries.

Shui County is one of them.

Shui County is near the west side of the big river. It is a small neutral country. The urban attributes are not bad. The nearby agriculture is developed, water transport is also developed, and the shipbuilding industry has also developed to a certain extent. It can manufacture fishing boats and cargo ships to sail in the river.

The big river is very large and there are many fish resources. The fish caught can also be used as food or sold as goods in the market.

Compared with caravans, cargo ships can have a longer voyage distance and higher profits, because cargo ships rely on water transportation, which consumes much less than manpower, so the profit of cargo transportation is also much greater, but there are limitations Therefore, a country that trades in freight must also have a port city close to the river, otherwise it will not be able to trade.

At the port, there are cargo ships from other small countries unloading here.

Since Chen Xu's last trip to Shui County, the monarch's favor for Xin Guo has become friendly. Last time, Xin Guo also seconded talents from Shui County. Before that, when some caravans from Xin Guo went to Hejian County, most of them It also chose Shui County as a trade partner.

At this moment, in the main hall, a lobbyist is talking eloquently to the monarch of Chaoshui County.

"Your Majesty, don't you know that disaster is coming? It's just a time of troubled times, and wars are raging everywhere. There are constant wars in the northern part of Hejian County. Sooner or later, the flames of war will reach the central part of Hejian County. At that time, Your Majesty will be in the middle, and you will be stuck in the middle of the Great Wall." On the riverside, the main points of water transportation, such an important geographical location, could it be that Your Majesty thinks that Shui County can be safe and secure? Therefore, Your Majesty should take this opportunity to make an early decision. Our Ye Kingdom is quite powerful, with sharp soldiers and horses. Why don't Your Majesty join our Ye Kingdom? , so that disasters can be avoided and great events can be achieved.”

This person is a lobbyist of Ye Country, and Ye Country is not far from the north of Shui County, so it is naturally also a country of players.

The monarch of Shui County above the main hall frowned slightly: "These words are too alarmist. My Shui County has always lived in peace with other countries, so why would other countries attack my Shui County? Besides, my Shui County The county and your Ye Kingdom are considered close neighbors, and there were many trade contacts before, if you threaten the king again, the king will cut off the business relationship with the Ye country."

The lobbyist was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, please think twice before acting. The King of Ye Kingdom has always treated His Majesty with confidence, otherwise he would not have sent me to persuade His Majesty. If Shui County defected, His Majesty would still be the King of Shui County."

The monarch laughed: "If you don't defect, this king is naturally the king of Shui County. If this is the case, why should this king defect? ​​See off the guests."

The lobbyist wanted to say something, but the guards around him had already come over and told him to stand up.

The lobbyist had no choice but to get up and leave. When he returned to the Kingdom of the Night, he met the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Night, Nighthawk, in the Royal Study Room.

"Your Majesty, this mission has failed."

Nighthawk opened the diplomacy panel and took a look. In the diplomacy panel of the small neutral country of Shui County, his favorability with Ye Kingdom was still only ranked second, and the player who ranked first was still a player named Xinguo.

"Where is this new country? Hejian County has never found him."

Nighthawk frowned slightly.

As the game progressed to the present, players began to fight for territory. The Kingdom of the Night was relatively good, but the northern part of Hejian County was a disaster. Therefore, to plan ahead, the Kingdom of the Night also needed to occupy more territory.

After looking at the map for a long time, Nighthawk set his sights on Shui County not far to the west, because Shui County's prosperity is still good, and it has shipbuilding technology and ports, which can save a lot of time for development. The important thing is that if Shui County can be persuaded to defect through diplomatic means, then Shui County can be occupied without a single soldier.

But what I didn't expect was that the monarch of Shui County refused to enter after several missions in succession.

After thinking about it, Nighthawk looked at the information of his country's legions again. The four legions were all fully staffed.

"Come on, please invite Sima, Commander Zhao and others over here."

In just a moment, several courtiers invited by Ye Ying came to the imperial study one after another.

"His Majesty."

Ye Ying said directly: "Get ready, I'm going to attack Shui County directly."

Upon hearing this, Dazai immediately said: "Your Majesty, if you attack Shui County, it may arouse the resentment of other small countries."

"It's okay, I've made up my mind, Shui County must be taken."

Nighthawk's face was indifferent. He knew that rashly launching an attack on Shui County would have a vicious buff that would weaken the favorability of all the surrounding small countries, but this weakening would only last for a while, and it would recover within a month at most. The income of Shui County is more cost-effective.

Seeing that His Majesty has spoken like this, Commander Zhao and others naturally have no objection.

So, it didn't take long for the four legions to come out almost in full force and head straight for Shui County.

The monarch of Shui County, who received the news, went up the tower in a panic, only to see tens of thousands of troops outside, surrounded not far away, his face full of sullen anger.

"Bah, Lord of the Night Country, you are really a villain, how dare you cut me down!"

"Your Majesty, what should we do? We don't have enough troops, and it will be difficult to defend if we face a mad attack from the opponent."

The Monarch of Shui County heaved his chest, frowned and thought for a while, then immediately said: "Hurry up, send someone to Xinguo for help, hurry up!"

……

Day two.

Nintendo is still the same as before, and after going online happily, it is ready to start a day-to-day life as the emperor.

This time when he opened his eyes, he was not in his own bedroom, but in Ban Jieyu's moon palace.

Ban Jieyu was already dressed and stood up: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to prepare to go to court early."

When Ren Tian woke up, she replaced the palace maids and dressed Ren Tian in various clothes.
