523: Nanzhao declares war, the whole world is an enemy
The capital of Nanzhao, above the court hall.
The envoys and others knelt tremblingly in the middle, sweat dripping down.
Today's court meeting was unusual. There was no sound of debate, and the civil and military officials were eerily quiet.
After a long while, a burst of laughter rang out: "With Zuo Chongming's temperament, it would be weird to agree, but it would be reasonable to refuse."
The person who spoke was not the Nanzhao monarch, but a handsome man with a white face and beardless face and narrow eyebrows.
At the same time, this person was also the only person sitting in the palace besides the Lord of Nanzhao.
"What the envoy said is true."
The face of the leader of Nanzhao was uncertain, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I wonder if your country is satisfied with this result?"
Hearing this, the man smiled reservedly: "Your Majesty is the lord of Nanzhao. Don't you feel angry? Then Zuo Chongming acted so overbearingly and arrogantly..."
This person spoke without any mercy. Every sentence and every word was like a slap on their face.
Moreover, the provocative and arrogant meaning contained in the words can be described as vividly expressed.
This made the faces of the Nanzhao ruler and the officials in the court darken visibly, but that was all.
Even though they hated each other deeply in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it at all.
Because this person's identity is also a messenger, he represents the Hong Kingdom...
A full half-quarter of an hour passed.
It wasn't until the man finished what he meant that the Nanzhao ruler took a deep breath and said, "This is my Nanzhao family matter, and I don't need your country..."
"Um?"
The man's eyebrows were raised and he looked at him with a half-smile.
The leader of Nanzhao stopped speaking abruptly, clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, gritted his teeth and asked: "...What considerations does your country have?"
"Consideration? The king is serious."
The man chuckled: "Our country, Hong, is not as domineering as Zuo Chongming. We often break into your country's capital and take away the royal family in broad daylight..."
"I just feel that Hong Guo cannot swallow this breath if he thinks about himself. He must send troops to attack him and teach him a profound lesson."
What this means is... shameless.
Both the words and the words imply that Nanzhao must send troops to attack Xiyun Mansion.
If not, Hong Guo would be unhappy...
There has been a saying from ancient times to the present that a weak country has no diplomacy.
From this, we can see that in fact, the world has not changed. It has always been the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, and the big fish eating the small fish.
Seeing this, a minister came out and said: "We in Nanzhao have been conducting campaigns for many years. We are not mentally and physically strong, and our army has not been transformed yet..."
The man smiled and said: "A strong army is not made by training, but by fighting. Besides, Zuo Chongming is too domineering this time, and our country cannot stand it..."
The head of the country looked troubled: "On the surface, Xiyun Mansion has Dharma Realm in charge, but secretly there are masters who can use beheading tactics."
No one in this world is a fool….
If Nanzhao really wanted to send troops to Xiyun Mansion, it would not have allowed Zuo Chongming's people to take away members of the royal family.
The reason why they chose to compromise was because although Nanzhao had a larger territory, it could not defeat Xiyun Mansion.
But they never expected that even though they chose to compromise, there would be people who were unwilling to compromise and forced them to move forward...
The man narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "I think the masters of Xiyun Mansion... may not be free recently."
"..."
The leader of Nanzhao's face was ashen and he couldn't help but fell into silence.
Now that things have come to this, how can he not understand that Hong Guo is forcing Nanzhao to be a bait, testing Xiyun Mansion and testing Zuo Chongming's reaction.
This was Hong's strategy to drive away wolves and swallow tigers, and Nanzhao's fate was already doomed.
…
In the twelfth lunar month of the same year, it was snowing in the cold winter.
As expected, Nanzhao declared war on Xiyun Mansion.
A total of six million troops were mobilized from across the country and marched toward the border, fully armed.
Nanzhao Kingdom is also in Jinyun Prefecture, but it occupies a full county, and its land area is about eight times larger than Xiyun Prefecture.
Whether in terms of geographical depth or population, Nanzhao Kingdom is far superior to Xiyun Mansion.
Judging from these data alone, the war launched by Nanzhao Kingdom against Xiyun Mansion can definitely be regarded as a dimensionality reduction strike and a complete crushing.
However…….
The premise of all this must be established before industry and technology have sprouted.
Because in an agricultural-dominated background, war in the cold weapon era had limitations, and in most cases quantity was king.
The emergence of industry and technology has greatly improved the efficiency of all aspects. Quantity has been replaced by quality, creating back pressure.
So, the real situation is...
When the army of Nanzhao State marched to the border and advanced with all its strength.
A fleet had already taken off, locked their position hundreds of miles away, and fired a total of fifty atomic bombs.
In half an hour, or even less than half an hour, Nanzhao's millions of troops and countless armaments... were all reduced to nothing.
This battle not only stunned the Nanzhao Kingdom, but also attracted the attention of all the forces in the world.
Everyone in the world knew that Xiyun Mansion would win, but they never expected that it would happen in this way...
What shocked them even more was that Zuo Chongming seemed to have never considered human rights and morality.
When Nanzhao's army was destroyed, the fleet did not return to the airport, but advanced all the way into Nanzhao's territory.
All cities above the county level with a population density of more than 300,000 were covered by the fleet's ruthless artillery fire and brutally massacred.
Nanzhao has a population of 2.7 billion, and in just one month... there are a few more people behind them.
Such a cruel and inhumane act has completely shocked all countries.
Especially when the fleet arrived over the capital, it ignored its surrender and sue for peace and launched a three-day bombing campaign.
Wherever the fleet passed, everything was reduced to scorched earth.
Looking around, you can see gunpowder smoke blocking out the sun, ruins of ruins, corpses and rubble, and no one for thousands of miles.
In just one month, the huge Nanzhao Kingdom was completely reduced to a dead end, a dead end, and a dead zone.
What many people don't know is.
This incident not only left the world in silence, but also angered a large number of players.
Because Nanzhao's national strength is quite good and its development is pretty good, there are many players who cannot survive in big countries who want to invest here.
Zuo Chongming's behavior this time directly wiped out their investment.
Moreover, when Nanzhao declared war, it also attracted a group of mercenary players to participate. These people were directly evaporated by the mushroom cloud, and their deaths were miserable.
Even the ashes have been raised, and the props that reduce the death penalty are naturally unavailable. These players are equivalent to being forced to delete their accounts and practice again.
How could they not hate Zuo Chongming?
Ever since.
There was a wave of crusade against Zuo Chongming on the forum, and some even listed a series of charges against him.
The vast majority of players are normal people. Zuo Chongming's massacre this time also made them dissatisfied to a certain extent, so they joined in one after another.
Suddenly, Zuo Chongming's reputation took a turn for the worse.
The fan group of Zuo Chongming camp has amazing fighting power, but in the face of the onslaught from the entire network, they simply cannot withstand it...
Although the game official did not express its position, it was fanning the flames overtly or covertly, which caused the whole matter to remain hot and intensified.

Hongguo, the capital of the country.
Nan Yun finished reading today's newspaper with an expressionless face, and then received the spies' information.
After reading it carefully, he couldn't help but fell into silence.
After half a quarter of an hour, Nanyun suddenly said: "Something is wrong."
When the eunuch next to him heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Nanyun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Nothing is right, whether it is Xiyun Mansion's reaction or the act of extermination..."
"Your Majesty."
The eunuch hesitated and said: "Then Zuo Chongming acted domineeringly and arrogantly. He dared to launch a purge order against the barbarians in southern Xinjiang. His behavior this time is not strange, right?"
"No, the nature of the two things is different."
Nanyun said: "When he launched the purge against the barbarians, on the one hand, he wanted to win over the monks in the far west, and on the other hand, he wanted to frighten them."
"In other words, he could only do this at that time. Only by using cruel methods could he make those barbarians fearful, obedient, and honest."
The eunuch wondered: "Is there any difference between now and then?"
"Of course it's different."
Nan Yun frowned: "This time when Nanzhao declared war, he was actually at an advantage. There were many ways to solve it, but he chose the last resort."
"Such a cruel act is harmful to both his personal reputation and the development of Xiyun Mansion..."
To put it bluntly, Zuo Chongming was killing himself and destroying his own brand.
Nan Yun stood up and walked outside, saying: "And I discovered a problem."
"What?"
The eunuch subconsciously kept up the pace.
Nanyun thought: "From the time Zuo Chongming announced his seclusion to now, he has never shown his face again, including this incident."
"Now, countries around the world are becoming more and more dissatisfied with his move, and public opinion is getting higher and higher, but he has not come forward to give an explanation..."
In fact, if Zuo Chongming came forward to explain, no matter how far-fetched the reason was, public opinion would not be so exaggerated.
Not only the aboriginals, but also many players had a good impression of Zuo Chongming, and their dissatisfaction was mostly due to Zuo Chongming's silence.
"this……"
The eunuch lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked: "Your Majesty, could it be that he doesn't dare to come out?"
Nan Yun sneered and said disdainfully: "He doesn't dare? Do you think Zuo Chongming, who has caused so many things, dares not do anything?"
"Forehead……"
The eunuch opened his mouth and found that this was indeed the truth.
Zuo Chongming has done too many shocking things, so he doesn't dare to do anything like this.
Nan Yun looked at the hazy sky and murmured thoughtfully: "I feel that it's not that he doesn't dare, but that... he can't."
The eunuch narrowed his eyes and suddenly lost his voice: "He really went into seclusion?"
"It's possible."
A smile bloomed on Nanyun's lips, and he said in a cold tone: "Zuo Chongming has really gone into seclusion and knows nothing about the outside world."
"Nanzhao's declaration of war plunged the leaderless Xiyun Mansion into chaos. In order to avoid being seen as weak, they deliberately acted cruelly."
"I estimate that they are trying to imitate Zuo Chongming's methods against the barbarians, in order to frighten all the countries in the world and prevent them from taking rash actions."
