Xu Xiao became anxious when he heard this, and he quickly said, "But we have almost opened up the upper and lower joints of Yongzhou, so it would be a pity to give up like this."
Li Yishan listened to Xu Xiao's thoughts and said calmly, "We don't have to worry at all. Emperor Liyang will naturally give Yongzhou to us one day."
When Xu Fengnian heard what Li Yishan said, he said with some uncertainty, "Master, what do you mean? King Jing'an and King Yanla are not Wang Yue's opponents?"
Li Yishan looked at the map and pointed at a few levels, and then said seriously, "Look, Wang Yue has placed heavy troops in these levels. He is obviously just defending.
If King Jing'an has a deal with Wang Yue, he will definitely do nothing but send out all the emperor's people to die, so that he can better control Qingzhou.
Although there is only one King of Yanla, he is very powerful, but as long as Wang Yue casually assassinates several of their generals, it is basically impossible for them to break through the Xia Kingdom's defense.
King Yanla was not stupid. He was definitely afraid of Wang Yue and Cao Changqing's attack. At most, it would be a small-scale attack and he would not invest elite troops.
Therefore, if the Li Dynasty orders the annihilation of the Xia Kingdom, it will probably be a long-term war that may last for one or two years or even longer."
Xu Xiao frowned and said with some uncertainty, "What Yishan means is that the Liyang Dynasty will become very weak due to the consequences, so our Beiliang Dynasty will become particularly important. There is a high probability that the Liyang Dynasty will
Give us Yongzhou directly? If that's the case, why should we add Quanzhou?"
Li Yishan laughed when he heard this and said very calmly, "I'm afraid we can't live in peace either. Although the Liyang Dynasty has become weak, the Beimang Dynasty is safe and sound. We need to weaken the Beimang Dynasty.
"
When Xu Weixiong heard this, he frowned and said unhappily, "In order to kill my mother, the Liyang Dynasty actually colluded with the Beimang Dynasty. Just let them bite each other."
Xu Xiao sighed and said helplessly, "Beimang dynasty is a foreign race after all. The emperor can shamelessly cooperate with them, but we can't, so we must stop Beimang's invasion.
After all, many of our soldiers in Beiliang have had their families invaded by Beimang."
Li Yishan was a well-known poisoner. He thought of the many ministers sent by the imperial court to Beiliang and criticized the Beiliang army for being without kings and fathers all day long. He changed his tune and suddenly said in a sinister tone, "Although our Beiliang army has many personnel,
But there are many spies planted by the imperial court, and this is the time to show their loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."
After all, Xu Fengnian believed in Buddhism. After hearing what Li Yishan said, he said softly, "Master, does this harm the peace of heaven?"
But Xu Hedgehog shook his head and said resolutely, "This is just asking for benevolence and Deren. I looked at the records of previous years. The food and grass needed by Beiliang are pushed and pushed every year, and there is always a delay."
If it's not enough, don't let them see the tragedy in the north. If they continue to do this in the future, then let them die."
Xu Xiao nodded and said in agreement, "Not to mention the empty ones, it's time to clean up the people in Liyang."
Li Yishan glanced at his apprentice and said seriously, "Dong Zhuo of the Northern Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty has been very active recently. I'm afraid he will send troops south to test it out soon."
Xu Xiao frowned and said, "If it were before, we wouldn't have to worry. After all, after Wang Yue's battle at Orange Island, Dong Zhuo would probably go south from Liliao. But it's different now. Fengnian and Wang Yue had a falling out.
,Dong Zhuo will probably seize the opportunity."
But Li Yishan said with a smile, "After what happened in Wudang Mountain, I can't say for sure. Wang Yue devoured Fengnian's Zhenwu Emperor's Dharma. He owed us a favor. Dong Zhuo didn't dare to bet whether Wang Yue would come to repay this.
Humane."
When Xu Xiao heard what Li Yishan said, he gloated and said, "In this case, I'm relieved. Now I'll take care of Gu Jiantang's Liang Liao army. I wonder if his 300,000-strong army is Dong Zhuo's opponent."
But Xu Weixiong shook his head and said seriously, "We should be more careful. Dong Zhuo may still test us. He also needs to divert Gu Jiantang's attention, and then launch a surprise attack."
Li Yishan nodded and said with a smile, "With the Second Princess here, I feel relieved even if I die!"

beimang, imperial palace
When Empress Beimang received the news of the founding of the Xia Dynasty, she was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some uncertainty, "Taiping Order, this is wrong, Cao Changqing actually has no action, there is only one Southwest Wang Yue, have we lost
Is this the best time to go south?”
Taiping Ling smiled and said, "No, Cao Changqing didn't move. This is the most fatal thing."
Empress Beimang was stunned for a moment, and then said doubtfully, "Deadly? Don't they want to stay in a corner?"
However, Taiping Ling shook his head and said firmly, "Emperor Liyang has long wanted to take the opportunity to annihilate the old and young of the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms, and also wanted to cut down the vassals.
Originally, he was waiting for Cao Changqing to rebel, and with the help of Cao Changqing, he could defeat all the vassal kings in one fell swoop.
But now Cao Changqing has not moved, and only the Xia Kingdom has occupied three continents to defend the natural danger. It will be difficult for the Liyang Court to take it back. I am afraid this will be a long-term war of attrition, which will consume the war potential of the Liyang Court."
Empress Beimang frowned and said with some confusion, "King Jing'an of Qingzhou and King Yanla who guarded the old land of the Southern Tang Dynasty are very powerful. Could it be that they still can't deal with Wang Yue?"
Taiping Ling said with a smile, "The old land of Western Chu is connected to Bazhou. There are mountains in the north, Qingzhou of King Jing'an in the west, Chuzhou of King Guangling in the east, and Tangzhou, the overlord of King Yanla in the south. The imperial court will send another person to enter
Shu completely surrounded Cao Changqing.
Even if Cao Changqing succeeds in defeating the enemy, he still has Gu Jiantang's 300,000 taels of elite Liao soldiers. He only needs to fight south to accomplish the emperor's two goals.
But things are different now. Cao Changqing did not rebel. The powerful King Guangling could not fight Xia without contacting Xia, and Emperor Liyang could not let him fight across the border.
In this way, only King Jing'an and King Yanla were left to besiege the Xia Kingdom. In order to preserve their strength, they could not fight tooth and nail, but they would try their best to get benefits from the court.
However, the leader of the Xia Kingdom married the princess of the conquered Western Chu, but he can get the support of the elders of the Western Chu. I am afraid that this battle will be difficult to end in a few years."
After hearing Taiping Ling's analysis, Empress Beimang said with a smile, "The concubines of King Jing'an were snatched away by Wang Yue and used to win over the old ministers of Western Shu. He will definitely not do anything, and will only show off.
Although King Yanla is ruthless, he may not really fight for the court.
This time Wang Yue rebelled, Cao Changqing’s strategy of standing still, I don’t know who came from it, suddenly solved the deadlock, and the rebellion may really succeed.”
Taiping Ling didn't know either. He originally thought that although Cao Changqing's rebellion would be as fast and violent as fire when it broke out, it would definitely fail. At most, he would help the Liyang court to destroy the kings. But with the current situation, that might not be the case.
He also said with some uncertainty, "The way of cutting the flesh with such a blunt knife is quite similar to the style of the poisonous man Li Yishan, but it is not quite like it.
As for Li Yishan, he is more wary of us in Beimang and is unlikely to come up with such an idea that is beneficial to us in Beimang just for Wang Yue."
The empress of Beimang thought about it for a while and felt that what the Taiping Order said was right. Li Yishan had already dedicated his whole life for Beiliang, and it was unlikely that he would have the energy to plan for Xia Kingdom.

Tai'an City, Hanlin Academy
Emperor Liyang Zhao Jian came to the Hanlin Academy very unexpectedly. After meeting all the Hanlin people, he arrived at a room.
As soon as he entered the room, he changed his warm smile and said, "Benxi, Cao Changqing didn't move. What should we do? Our previous layout seems to be ruined!"
Yuan Benxi has also been thinking about this issue recently. The ending was originally destined, but now everything is confusing.
He looked at the chess game in his hands, which was exactly the game that Wang Yue and Xu Hedgehog played in Shangyin Academy.
He didn't think about it at first, but after the emperor arrived, he had a flash of inspiration and said suddenly, "Your Majesty, come and take a look at this chess game."
Although the emperor was very anxious, he had always trusted Yuan Benxi. The reason why he became emperor was also for this reason. He said doubtfully, "Isn't this a dead end?"
Yuan Benxi smiled and said, "No, do you think you can survive with such a move?"
As he said this, he simply made a move, and then picked up a large piece of his own chess pieces, leaving a large area free at once.
Then he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think now?"
The emperor looked at the chess game and felt a sudden enlightenment. He said in surprise, "Although he is at a disadvantage, he seems to have the strength to fight again. Sir, he is really talented!"
Yuan Benxi nodded and said solemnly, "No, you are wrong. This is not my layout, but the chess game recently handed down from Shangyin Academy."
The emperor was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion, "Shangyin Academy is indeed not simple, but why did you let me watch this game? Is it related to the layout of the southwest?"
Yuan Benxi nodded and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the person who planned this chess game is none other than the Xia Emperor Wang Yue!"
Emperor Liyang was shocked after hearing what Yuan Benxi said. He said incredulously, "Sir, you mean to say that the layout of the southwest this time may have been arranged by Wang Yue himself?"
Yuan Benxi nodded and said solemnly, "It is very possible that the restoration of the Western Chu Kingdom was originally a dead end, but now there is uncertainty. It is really hard to say!"
Emperor Liyang frowned and said with some uncertainty, "If this is the case, what should we do next? Do we really need to send Gu Jiantang there?"
