This is a letter of appeal to establish an alliance, but it is not a letter of war. No matter what Li Xing's intentions are, as long as Li Xingzai disobeys, Li Xing will immediately attack him, and in the name of justice.
Without him, it's just because Li Xingzai is still too weak and Li Xing is strong enough.
Many times, might is justice.
Li Xingzai's current strength is limited to Luofeng City. In just a few years, he has managed this place like an iron barrel. Now he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and is assisted by Chu Yunsheng, Qi Jiguang and others. No matter from which perspective,
Li Xingzai's results are pretty good. However, compared with Li Xing who is based in Jiangnan, his current strength is still not worth mentioning.
Luofeng City is located at the junction of Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou. Li Xingzai has worked hard to develop it for so many years, but he cannot compete with any of the three companies at present.
"If there is really no other choice, will the king have the courage to fight Li Xing?" Chu Yunsheng asked.
Li Xingzai waved his hand helplessly: "If we are really desperate, I don't mind a fight. But if we start a war with any party, there is no guarantee that the other two parties will not attack us. If we fight on three sides, we don't have the strength now."
Chu Yunsheng also fell silent. He is good at planning, which has been proven countless times. This is why he was entrusted with important tasks by Li Xingzai in a short period of time. But a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. Without absolute strength to support him, he is also a counselor.
Useless.
"At present, it seems that we have no choice but to make peace with Li Xingxu for the time being. To show his sincerity, the king will go to Yangzhou."
"It doesn't matter if I take a risk. What I'm afraid of is that if I obey Li Xing's will, I will become a tool used by him. If I join his alliance of princes, what he does will be more justified."
Li Xingzai was the sixth son of Emperor Ming, and he was born with the qualifications to compete for the throne. Li Xing announced to the world that he would establish an alliance of princes. If Li Xingzai was willing to join and be commanded by Li Xing, then it would be equivalent to giving away the power he brought from his mother's womb.
Li Xing.
So Li Xingzai didn't want to choose this path, but there was no other way at the moment.
"The King of Yanzhou and the King of Xuzhou are both outstanding men. They and Li Xing stand on a three-legged basis and are eyeing each other. Since the king is unwilling to obey Li Xing, he might as well form an alliance with one of the other two first."
"Without strength, there is no cooperation. Such an alliance may be as fragile as a blank sheet of paper. The other party does not trust us, so we must be wary of them."
"It's not that there's no possibility of reaching trust..." Chu Yunsheng said silently.
Li Xingzai heard that Chu Yunsheng's tone was a bit strange and said: "If the military advisor has something to say, speak directly."
"I heard that King Lei Tianyin of Yanzhou claims to be a romantic. If the king can marry him, wouldn't such an alliance be relatively strong?"
Li Xingzai instantly understood the meaning of Chu Yunsheng's words. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Yunsheng with a somewhat ferocious look. Then, the ferocity slowly dissipated, and he shook his head and said, "There is no need to mention this matter.
What a man has to do, whether it's life or death, there's no reason for a woman to sacrifice herself."
Chu Yunsheng cupped his fists and saluted Li Xingzai.
"What do you want to say? Tell me what you have to say. There is no need to hide it from me?"
Chu Yunsheng then spoke and said: "From a human perspective, I admire the king's conduct; but as a hero who strives for hegemony in the world, the king..."
Chu Yunsheng paused: "It is indeed somewhat unqualified."
After hearing this, Li Xingzai laughed loudly and said, "If you can't even be a good person, how can you talk about trying to dominate the world?"
…
Luofeng City is already filled with storms. From Li Xingzai to the ordinary soldiers at the bottom, everyone can feel this solemn atmosphere. The whole city is preparing for war. This war
Maybe it won't come, but once it comes, it will definitely be a bloody battle.
If Luofeng City is like this, Yangzhou will not be able to live in peace either.
Li Xing was based in the south of the Yangtze River and had hundreds of thousands of troops. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the largest prince in the empire. What kind of strength he had, what kind of ambition he had. When the empire was in turmoil, his ambition had already coveted the entire world.
That's why Li Xing announced to the world and established an alliance of princes. Li Xingzai was a sensible person and saw that he was not interested in drinking. The other princes were not all confused, and they all understood Li Xing's implication.
Some princes have already replied and are willing to join this coalition of princes. The meaning expressed is submission. In this way, the total force that Li Xing can use reaches a terrifying figure.
That's why Li Xing was so complacent, thinking that he would march north to destroy the Rong tribe first, and then annex Chang'an. By then, his reputation would be unrivaled, and he would be the legitimate lord of the world.
That dragon chair is not far away from me.
And all these plans were given by one person. He was young and well-known, and he had led his horse into Yangzhou not long ago, claiming to have a plan to secure the world.
Li Xing is not ignorant of heroes. The most important thing in competing for the world is to compete for talents. He does not despise his opponent because he is young.
This strategy was devised by the young Hong Liao.
Yangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with Yanzhou and Xuzhou in the north, and Jingzhou and Jiaozhou in the south. Now the princes and kings in Jingzhou and Yanzhou are willing to surrender, and the situation is developing according to Li Xing's expectation.
But the only fly in the ointment is that until now, I have not received a reply from Li Xingzai.
Other princes could contribute troops to Li Xing, but Li Xingzai could give Li Xing the power to fight for the world. The other party was so ignorant that Li Xing was furious.
He mobilized a large number of troops to hoard around Luofeng City, and his message was very clear: If you don't obey, you will die.
"Report."
On this day, Li Xing was discussing matters with Hong Liao in the side hall. The other party had hidden treasures, so Li Xing thought about how to make the other party loyal. It would be better to marry one or two of his daughters to the other party.
At this time, a school captain who reported the incident hurried over and knelt down in front of Li Xing with a thud.
"Your Majesty, something bad is going on."
Li Xing frowned: "What is it that is worth shouting about? Why don't you look at where this place is?"
The captain was panting and said: "The first camp was captured by Luofeng City, and General Zhou was killed in front of the formation."
Li Xing was shocked, and the smile on his face had to freeze. He gathered 50,000 troops around Luofeng City, divided into four camps. It was not to attack Luofeng City, but to force Li Xingzai to sign
Alliance under the city.
However, unexpectedly, Li Xingzai did not choose to obey, but instead took the lead in launching a war. With lightning speed, he wiped out the most elite first battalion.
Hong Liao also looked surprised. He was the one who made this plan. However, he did not expect that Li Xingzai would suddenly overturn the table.
Li Xing had been waiting for Li Xingzai's reply, and now he finally got it. But what he was waiting for was not Li Xingzai's obedience, but war.
