Beiling is short of food all year round, the treasury is tight, and people starve to death every year. In the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, in order to improve the living conditions of the people in the country, when Dongling attacked Nanling, he sent troops to Dongling in order to gain some advantage, but it turned out that there was no advantage.
If you pick it up, it will make you more and more miserable...
This year, Beiling couldn't buy food even if he had money. Four of the nine cities fell into Dongling's hands. Beiling just fought a war with Dongling. Dongling was stupid to sell the food to him.
Beiling, so that the Beiling people can come back to beat them when they are full.
Among the remaining five cities, Yuncheng and Yucheng stayed on their own and did not participate in any struggle. They were vaguely attached to Dongling and would not sell food to Beiling at all.
As for smuggling?
Sorry, the biggest smuggler from Dongling to Beiling is the Nine Emperors Uncle. Not only has the Nine Emperors Uncle obtained a large amount of treasures from the previous dynasty, but he has also been enthroned as emperor. He has no shortage of money. If he wants to smuggle from Dongling, Beiling is still a swindler.
Go to bed early and think about it in your dreams.
Without Nanling, there is no smuggling in Dongling, and the two largest grain suppliers in Beiling are gone. Beiling can only make plans to go to Xiling. But Xiling is divided into two, let alone Xiling is not capable, even if it is capable, this
It is also necessary to store food at all times to prepare the country for the next war.
Neither the eldest princess nor Xiling Tianyu would believe that the other party would hold on to half of Xiling. They would definitely find ways to swallow up the other party and unify Xiling.
In order to contain the other party, and in order not to be cannibalized by the other party, both sides must make preparations in advance, and hoarding food is one of them. Not to mention that they don't have much leftover food, even if they have a lot of food, they will not sell it to Beiling.
Xiling didn't sell grain, but Beiling also had Beiling's method. Beiling knew that Xiling Tianyu had always been close to Dongling, so he approached the eldest princess.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you provide the food, and we will send the men to capture the entire Xiling for you. We don't want much from the Beiling. We only want the three cities near the Xiling." The envoy from the Beiling met the eldest princess of the Xiling and went straight in.
"I'm afraid of attracting wolves into the house." Princess Xiling looked at the other party cautiously.
The people of Beiling are known to be good at fighting, and even Dongling can't get any favors from Beiling, let alone her. Although the eldest princess wants to seek an alliance, Beiling is not a good partner.
In fact, the eldest princess has privately contacted Jiancheng, Ancheng and Zongcheng. She has formed an alliance with these three cities to jointly resist Xiling and Dongling.
Dongling is powerful, and if they don't cooperate, they will only be swallowed up... Looking at Xiling Tianyu's attack on those three cities, you know that Dongling will not let them go.
The Beiling envoy had already thought of countermeasures. Although they were asking for help, they were not humble. The Beiling envoy smiled calmly and said confidently: "Today's Dongling is no longer what it used to be. Not to mention half of Xiling, it's the entire
Xiling is not the opponent of Dongling. Looking at the world, only the soldiers of Beiling can compete with Dongling. Your Majesty the Queen, your best choice is Beiling. As for attracting wolves into the house, Her Majesty the Queen can rest assured that we Beiling will not send
A large number of soldiers and horses are coming, and the number is up to you."
This is a trap, but even though she knows it is a trap, the eldest princess wants to jump out of it because Beiling is so right. With the power of combining the three cities, she is no match for Yi Dongling.
Dongling does not attack Xiling and Sancheng now. It is not because Dongling does not have the strength, but because Dongling does not want to go to war, which will attract them to form an alliance with Beiling, which will greatly increase the pressure on Dongling.
The eldest princess knew very well the plan of the Nine Emperors Uncle. The Nine Emperors Uncle wanted to capture Beiling first. As long as Beiling defeated the country, the remaining Xiling and Wucheng were no match for Dongling. The country would be overthrown sooner or later.
Although Beiling is poor, he is the only person in Jiuzhou Continent who can contain Dongling. If Beiling is gone, Dongling can definitely dominate the world...
"I want to summon the ministers to listen to their opinions on this matter." The eldest princess did not answer immediately, and the Beiling envoy did not ask further. How could such a major matter as an alliance be concluded at the first meeting?
"This matter will come sooner rather than later. Please Her Majesty the Queen make a decision as soon as possible." The Beiling envoy bowed and returned to the inn, waiting for the good news of the eldest princess.
Beiling is 80% sure that the eldest princess will agree to form an alliance with him. They are also 60% sure that they can take the opportunity to swallow up the entire Xiling!
Three cities? How could just three cities satisfy Beiling's appetite? Seeing that Dongling had defeated the four cities and swallowed up Nanling, Beiling had other thoughts when he was worried.
Dongling swallowed half of the Jiuzhou Continent. If Beiling swallowed Xiling and the remaining five cities, it could also take over half of the continent. By then, there will only be two powerful countries in the Kyushu Continent, Dongling and Beiling. A duel between the two powers.
It's hard to say whose hands the world will fall into in the end.
The new emperor of Beiling and the consort of Princess Anping, Beiling Fengqian has always been an ambitious person. Back then, for power and status, he could marry Anping, a barren woman, and endure the humiliation of Dongling. Now he can naturally marry Anping for the sake of the world.
The eldest princess of Xiling and the false snake.
What is an ally? It is used for betrayal. You can see that Dongling married the princess to him and then took the princess back.
Beiling Fengqian remembered this sentence deeply and planned to practice it on the eldest princess of Xiling!
"The eldest princess of Xiling wants to form an alliance with Beiling." Before the two countries could negotiate an alliance, the news was sent to Uncle Nine Emperors first.
Duh...duh...duh!
Uncle Nine Emperors did not speak, but tapped the table. Just like every time before, when he was thinking about a problem, Uncle Nine Emperors was used to tapping the table. Every time he hit the table, it was like hitting the heart.
The new secret guard leader who took over had not yet adapted to the powerful aura of Uncle Nine Emperors. Every time Uncle Nine Emperors struck, he felt like an invisible mountain was in front of him, weighing him down and almost suffocating him...
The atmosphere in the hall was tense. The back of the new secret guard leader was already soaked with sweat, and the place where his knees touched the ground was also soaked.
He was unaware of all this, and all his attention was devoted to resisting the knocking sound of Uncle Nine Emperors, until the knock on the door of "knock knock knock..." interrupted Uncle Nine Emperors' deep thoughts, secretly
Only then did Leader Wei feel that he was alive...
There was only one person who dared to knock on the door at this time, and that was Feng Qingchen!
If Feng Qingchen came at this time, Naibao must have fallen asleep. She wanted to go back to the palace, and every night when she went back, she would come to the imperial study and take back the Nine Emperors Uncle who was busy with political affairs.
The Nine Emperors Uncle immediately stopped thinking deeply, and a touch of warmth appeared in his eyes unconsciously. He looked up and found that the secret guard was still kneeling below, and waved his hand to signal him to retreat.
The leader of the secret guard quickly retreated out as if he had received an amnesty. When he passed Feng Qingchen at the door, the leader of the secret guard gave Feng Qingchen a very sincere salute...
Queen, you are truly a lifesaver!
He finally understood why when he became the new leader, the original leader patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Take care of yourself".
Under constant pressure, it is really easy to die early!
