Dress as a villain

She bowed her head and worked silently.

"I will not make her a political victim."

The inside and outside of Tianjing is peaceful and peaceful, and Xie Lanzhi outside the country sends people to harass Mingbao from time to time.

Three days ago, she brought someone directly to Mingbao.

Immediately, I received a letter written by Zheng Fu, the leader of the Yue Kingdom, in which he argued that he was being used by others, and it was not his intention.I hope she can return to the border with a noble hand, and he will offer compensation to compensate the sacrificed Xie warriors.

Xie Ming was furious on the spot, thinking that what Han Feizi said was right: if a country is small, don't feel inferior, if you have little power, don't be afraid of the strong, if you are rude, you will insult your neighbors, if you are greedy and clumsy, you will die.

Before relying on firearms to cross the border of the Southern Central Plains back and forth, they did not take them seriously, but now they took the cannons, and they started to make peace again.It just doesn't make sense.

"Marshal, 50 people have been injured recently, all of them were stabbed in the back by Yue."

"We must not let them go!"

Xie Lanzhi saw that there was still a bad-tempered general around him, and he was right, the Yue Kingdom was indeed attacking Shi Guofu, but they were not challenging Xin Tianjing.

"Since the lord of the Yue Kingdom wants to seek peace, you should tell them that if you want to seek peace, you can, and let their lord come here in person."

Xie Ming suddenly excitedly said: "When the lord of the Yue Kingdom comes, then the Generalissimo will catch him all in one go, and the thief will be the first to capture the king, right?"

Xie Lanzhi: "You play too much."

"Before the commander-in-chief has figured out the complicated situation, you can't act arbitrarily."

And Mrs. Zheng would not dare to come alone.

Xie Ming, as a peace talker, made a request with the envoys of the Yue Kingdom. Unexpectedly, the envoys of the Yue Kingdom refused directly, but they could send Zheng Xiu, the famous Seven Sage King of the Yue Kingdom, to negotiate on behalf of the ruler.

Seeing their mother-in-law and mother, Xie Ming wished they could take them all together, but if he did, he would probably be taken by the marshal afterward.

Not achieving his goal, he seemed impatient and said: "Go, go, the Seven Sage Kings are also fine."

The envoy of Yue Kingdom couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief: "I'm going to inform the lord of the country right now."

Xie Lanzhi learned that the other party was going to send a prince to negotiate, so she temporarily set up a negotiating table, and then asked the staff of the military camp to support it.

There was also news from Shi Guofu that Shi Yang was still in the mourning hall. The two brothers Shi Jian and Shi Yang had a fight. Combined with the officials of Shi Guofu, most of the grain depots were cut off, which hindered Shi Jian's army.

Shi Jian was as smelly and hard as a rock, and he didn't listen to any persuasion. He directly led people to rob food in Shi Guofu, but was shot back by the businesswoman's firearms team.

Shi Jian also injured his right arm, and the main general's injury shook the hearts of the [-] soldiers under him. Coupled with the lack of food, the main general failed to grab it back.This caused many soldiers to doubt whether Shi Jian had the qualifications to rule Shi Guofu.

At the same time, Shi Yang tried his best to appease the victims during the conflict, distributed pensions, and once won the hearts of the people.Compared to Shi Jian who acted recklessly, Shi Yang seemed to be more qualified to be a lord.

So after Shi Yang specially performed a scene where the army and the people were united, a large number of soldiers turned against Shi Yang.

Shi Jian has only three generals left to support him, but the hearts of the people are also scattered.

Shi Jian also thought about killing Shi Yang with his injuries. This time, the remaining generals defected to Shi Yang overnight, leaving Shi Jian with only [-] troops.

But the [-] army is about to face the crisis of Xialiang, and the female businessmen even gather all the businessmen in Shiguo Mansion to turn against Shi Yang, allowing Shi Yang to control the entire Shiguo Mansion's voice inside and out.

Shi Yang is also a ruthless person, he didn't send troops to destroy Shi Jian, but repaired with him, rebuilt the brotherhood, and decided to meet in a place.

Shi Jian didn't pay the bill and didn't go at all. As a result, Shi Yang was shot in the chest by a hidden arrow and almost died that day. After the assassin was captured, it was found that Shi Jian was behind the scenes.

Shi Jian was dumbfounded.He obviously didn't do anything, so he was about to take the blame for killing his brother.He didn't even have a chance to explain, Shi Yang's soldiers gathered 10 people and surrounded Shi Jian.

After fighting for seven days, Shi Jian was defeated at the ancestral temple mountain of the Shiguo Mansion, and was beheaded in front of the mourning hall of the ancestors.Especially the new spiritual tablet that was just arranged, Shi Yang's mother.

Shi Yang won a complete victory and began to actively build an alliance with Tianjing, bowing his head and proclaiming himself a vassal.

All the people in Shiguo's mansion are from the peace faction. They have seen the firearms of the Yue people, and they understand that the master of the Xie family outside the border is using a [-]-style wheel cannon to beat the people of the Yue country into panic.

Zheng Fu, the lord of Yue, even sent Zheng Xiu, the Seven Sage King, to seek peace.

Shi Yang advocated bowing his head and proclaiming himself a minister. In fact, there are still some people who are not convinced. They think that Shi Guofu should have the dignity of sovereignty and should not bow their heads easily.So a force was gathered to oppose Shi Yang. Shi Yang had just become the lord of Shi Guofu, so he naturally had to put on a show and put the matter on hold.Said that he would consider it.

However, the God of Tianjing, represented by His Highness Feng Ning, immediately presented Shi Yang with two cannons and five thousand shi of grain, and asked Shi Guofu and the Southern Territory to work together to build the Shinan Alliance.

As an ally, Shi Guofu can use the southern region to become their rear granary. Equivalently, Shi Guofu must send troops to the border to ease the pressure on the border.

This is an excellent opportunity to take revenge on Yue.

Shi Yang received two cannons and [-] shi of food, and those sovereign factions were relieved, at least His Highness Feng Ning did not ask them to sacrifice their sovereignty in exchange for food cannons, so he still respected them.

So the Sovereign faction supported Shi Yang, bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister, and at the same time sent elite reinforcements to the border of Yue State, and listened to Marshal Xie for punishment.

Xie Lanzhi received the news that Shi Guofu sent 3 people as front-line reserve soldiers, and she knew that it was Xiao Fenghuang who secretly facilitated it.

The question that made her linger in her heart was quickly solved.

It's no wonder that Shi Guofu wanted to provoke the Yue Kingdom, in order to force the Yue Kingdom to take out firearms. After exposing the firearms, they used the Yue Kingdom's sovereignty threat to the surrounding area as an excuse to surround the Yue Kingdom with a large number of troops on the border of the Yue Kingdom.

Not only will the surrounding vassal states not oppose it, but they will even support Xintianjing's dispatch of troops.Then Xie Lanzhi's dispatch of troops will become justified, and the world wants it.

How about the neighbor around you suddenly become a powerful country that even big countries are afraid of, and can even challenge big countries. As a small country, it will naturally overreact and feel a sense of crisis, and become hesitant.

At this time, the surrounding small countries will hold together and even stand on the same front as the big countries.

Zheng Fu, the leader of the Yue Kingdom, knew that he was not only being targeted by the Lord Xie Clan, but also rejected by the vassals. Over time, his Yue Kingdom would be isolated and helpless. .So he had to sue for peace.

So why did Shi Yang harm the interests of Shi Guofu to catch fish from Yue State?This is another strange point of Xie Lanzhi.

When Zheng Xiu, the Seven Sage King, came to the border, it happened that Shi Yang came to the border on horseback.

The last one to appear was Xie Lanzhi.

Zheng Xiu and Shi Yang stood on both sides and bowed to her: "See the marshal!"

Xie Lanzhi pointed to the negotiating tables on the left and right and said, "Sit down and talk first, and then talk to me."

When Zheng Xiu and Shi Yang raised their heads when they heard the words, the two sides were at odds with each other, and they both held guns and sticks in their words, and they were always ready to fight.

Zheng Xiu felt that the new rulers of the Shi Kingdom Mansion were too shameless, they were simply bullying others, and they dared to be arrogant in front of the Yue Kingdom because they had their backs on the mountains.The past lords of the Yue Kingdom were bullied by the Shiguo Mansion, and finally regained their dignity once, but now they have attracted the covetousness of the great powers. It is really bad luck.

Shi Yang was really bullying others, he even threatened to give him three islands from the Yue Kingdom.

Zheng Xiu immediately refused, and the two refused to give up an inch of land.Seeing that there was a lot of quarrel.

"Bang!" Xie Lanzhi put her right hand down on the table and clapped again, the two of them stopped talking immediately.

Xie Lanzhi said: "Since you all talked about the same thing, now it's my turn."

Zheng Xiu obviously lacked confidence to Xie Lanzhi: "Also ask the marshal to open his mouth."

Xie Lanzhi pointed out the vital points of Yue State: "Your firearms are imported from the northern Hu Xiong?"

"This." Zheng Xiu hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should answer or not.

"It's fine if you don't answer." Xie Lanzhi said indifferently: "Tomorrow, the commander will personally lead the troops into the Palace of the Lord of Yue to ask Mrs. Zheng, then we will know everything."

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers met each other, and the atmosphere immediately became anxious.

Zheng Xiu hurriedly said: "The firearms of our country were originally purchased from Hu Xiong Shangguo. King Hu Xiong gave our country three treasure ships, and a hundred firearms to obtain the right to dock in our country."

"That's where the firearms come from."

Xie Lanzhi said again: "Your country has more than one hundred firearms."

Zheng Xiu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, where did the marshal get the information in such a short time?Could it be that he crossed the state and had spies sneaking in?

He said: "Including the [-] new firearms privately donated by Prince Abana, [-] firearms, a total of [-]."

"Prince Abana has obtained our delta wharf with the northern seaport."

As soon as the words came out.Xie Ming and even Shi Yang gasped at this number, feeling horrified.

No wonder the Yue Kingdom was able to kill five thousand Shi Guofu soldiers overnight!That firearm is simply an army butcher knife!

Xie Lanzhi got the answer she wanted.

She finally knew what was going on.

It turned out that it was not Aqina who caused the flood of firearms in the country of Yue. It was Aqina who lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot, and was stabbed in the back by his younger brother.

At the same time, it is worth noting that Aqina's control over firearms seems to have slipped through the net, which is why the firearms were leaked out and abused by wolfish and ambitious people.

Xie Lanzhi thought to himself: "Aqina, you really underestimated the ancients."

"You think you can do whatever you want if you know the trajectory of the wheel of history in advance, but now Aba is the backlash of your arrogance."
