Myriad Realms: Opening Decisive Battle at Bright Summit

Chapter 354 Murong Fu Was Called Stupid!
Li Qiushui said coldly again: "Actually, it's not a big deal if you don't have soldiers and horses. After all, if you want to restore the country, you can't rely on soldiers and horses alone."

Murong Fu took a breath and said, "What the concubine said is absolutely true."

Li Qiushui sneered and said, "Apart from soldiers and money, the most important thing is your policy of governing the country and foreign strategy. If you want to restore the country, where do you want to be? If you face the counterattack of the Northern Song Dynasty? How will you follow?" Get along with the powerful Liao Kingdom? If I get along with Xixia? How do I get along with Tubo in the distance?"

Murong Fu was stunned.

These questions... He really didn't think about it seriously.

All he thinks about is that Dayan must be restored!

As for what happened after the recovery...he had no idea.

Li Qiushui saw Murong Fu was stunned, and then sneered: "Do you think you can really become a king by conquering a territory? Only by holding the territory can you be a king. Your Beiyan, your original sphere of influence is within North of the Yellow River, but now your family is in Murong, Gusu. The people in the south have nothing to do with you, and the people north of the Yellow River have long forgotten the Yan Kingdom. If you restore the country, there is no public opinion at all. Support can only rely on strong troops to occupy it. After you occupy a city, how do you appease the people who are originally peaceful? How do you formulate your tax policy? Where does your military salary come from? What if the meritorious soldiers who captured the city for you trampled on the people's seedlings? , how do you deal with it?"

Murong Fu's face was earthy!
He never thought about these things!

Li Qiushui sneered and said: "It seems that you have dreams of becoming an emperor, but you don't know how to govern."

Murong Fu said in a trembling voice: "My dear concubine, I, I... I have thought about it, but I feel that the most urgent task is to conquer a piece of territory first. As for how to defend it after conquering it, naturally there are also Xixia, Tubo and Liao. Such a big country is here to help!”

Li Qiushui laughed, "Oh? Why should we help you? Could it be that you are willing to give us benefits?"

Murong Fu nodded and said: "Of course I would! As long as you can help us restore the country, Concubine, I can agree to all your requests!"

Li Qiushui said with a smile: "Really? Then I want you to donate every year and bow your head to be a minister. Are you willing?"

Murong Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

Li Qiushui smiled and said: "I, a citizen of Xixia, are going to your territory of Dayan. I want to be a citizen of the Shangguo. It is not illegal to kill people. Anyone who is a citizen of Dayan who insults my people of Xixia will be killed without mercy. In serious cases, nine ethnic groups will be implicated. You I am willing."

Murong Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

Li Qiushui smiled and said: "Your country does business with me in Xixia and charges three times the tax every year, while I, Xixia, do business with your country and don't have to pay a penny in tax. Are you willing?"

Murong Fu said: "Yes!"

Li Qiushui smiled and said: "You have to give [-]% of the tax revenue to us Xixia every year, are you willing?"

Murong Fu said: "As long as Dayan can be restored, I am willing to do all this!"

Li Qiushui laughed, "Okay, now, the Liao Kingdom next to you sent envoys to tell you that if you don't pay them tribute, they will join forces with the Northern Song Dynasty to attack you. How should you deal with it?"

"This..." Murong Fu was dumbfounded again.

He is still very good at pretending to be elegant and suave, but when dealing with specific issues, he is a complete idiot.

Li Qiushui said: "Let me remind you that Beiliao is very powerful, even stronger than our Xixia. You established a country north of the Yellow River, and you established your country under their noses."

Murong Fu said painfully: "Then I can only submit and seek compromise."

Li Qiushui smiled coldly, "You have already surrendered to me Xixia, how can you surrender to Beiliao? If Beiliao wants you to pay [-]% of the tax, what should you do? Do you want to pay the tax that should have been given to me in Xixia? , to Beiliao?"

Murong Fu hurriedly said: "No no! I will definitely not give the taxes paid to Xixia to Beiliao!"

Li Qiushui sneered: "Then, you will give half of your country's taxes to me, Xixia, and half to Northern Liao. Your Yan Kingdom will be nothing. It will not take more than a year to levy excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes." , it will make the people rebel."

Murong Fu smiled wryly: "I can negotiate and ask for a [-]% tax reduction."

Li Qiushui sneered, "Who should take less? Xixia, or Beiliao?"

Murong Fu said: "Why don't we take [-]% off the family's income?"

Li Qiushui sneered: "Do you think, at that time, you still have the qualifications to negotiate with us?"

Murong Fu sat paralyzed on the ground in an instant.

Li Qiushui smiled coldly: "Now, you understand that founding a country is not that simple, right? Especially when you are surrounded by great powers, it is simply impossible for you to start a country with just a single thought. "

Murong Fu said painfully: "Thank you very much, concubine for your advice..."

Li Qiushui sneered and said: "You are quite sensible, you know that I am pointing you. Get up, no matter what, your Murong family is destined to be with Li Qiushui."

Murong Fu was taken aback, hope was rekindled in his heart.

He thought that what Li Qiushui said was destined, he wanted to marry Li Qinglu to him.

But in fact, what Li Qiushui meant was that she and Wu Yazi's daughter Li Qingluo ended up marrying into Murong's family in Gusu.

That's why Li Qiushui said that he had a predestined relationship with the Murong family.

Li Qiushui turned to Duan Yu again, "This frail scholar must be the Prince of Dali, right?"

Duan Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted, "Duan Yu, Dali, I have seen the empress dowager."

Li Qiushui nodded slightly, "Sure enough, he is a good-looking talent...I heard that Mr. Duan doesn't know martial arts?"

Duan Yu said with a smile: "Yes, I'm not interested in martial arts, but I like studying poetry and songs."

Li Qiushui asked: "Then why, you can repel the enemy with one yang finger and one move?"

"Well..." Duan Yu grinned, "Although I don't like martial arts very much, after all, I have been fascinated by it since I was a child. Even if I don't want to learn it, I can still use it at critical times."

Jiumozhi frowned, "Wizard!"

Li Qiushui also nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that Mr. Duan is a genius. He doesn't need to practice. He can use such a powerful Yiyang finger just by watching your father practice. He is indeed a genius. In my opinion, you He is the most promising son-in-law of Xixia. The Duan family in Dali has a good public opinion, and only the Duan family can govern Dali. And you are the only child of the Duan family. In the future, you will definitely inherit the throne of Dali. At that time, you and I Xixia joined forces with Dali, plus Tubo, half of China, it will be ours."

Murong Fu on the side suddenly sank in his heart!
They all belong to your three families, so what about my Murong family?

Duan Yu grinned and said, "I don't have any ambitions for this kind of thing. What's more, I'm not here for myself this time, but to accompany my elder brother."

Li Qiushui's eyes fell on Ling Feng.
