It seems that the people of the Central Plains have always had this kind of character. No matter whether you are strong or weak, as long as you come here to be a guest or do business, you will be treated with courtesy.
Even if it is a small country with such a weak national power that it is looked down upon locally, as long as you behave yourself, you will be treated with courtesy and will not be indifferent when you arrive in the Central Plains.
But after more such things happened, many small countries began to treat the Central Plains Empire as a fool.
Once upon a time, Emperor Taizong of Dayu issued a decree that foreigners who came to Dayu would not have to spend any money on food, clothing, housing and transportation from the moment they entered Dayu.
In this way, it seems that Dayu, a large country, is magnanimous, but it is the people who suffer, as well as the local officials.
Until more than ten years ago, the emperor Xie Fuwei issued a decree that no matter where he came from, anyone who violated Dayu's law would be punished with an additional penalty.
Yes, it is not the same sin as the beautiful woman, but an extra degree of sin.
The reason given by the emperor is simple.
He said to the ministers at the great court meeting... Let alone the matters between countries, just say that it is rude for ordinary people to come to your house. Wouldn't you feel comfortable?
When a guest deliberately makes a mistake in the host's house, he should not use the same old tricks to calm things down.
So from that moment on, the Loufan people, who originally had some trade relations with Dayu, lost their status as VIPs in Dayu, which also led to increasingly tense relations between the two countries.
The main manifestation is that the small countries in the Western Region are all clamoring, saying that if Dayu no longer implements the previous exemption policy, then they will cut off trade with Dayu.
Emperor Xie Fuwei's attitude is... Now that I have said it, I ask you to carry it out.
You said you would cut off all business dealings with Dayu. I hope you will not only implement it but also implement it thoroughly and forcefully.
At that time, Dayu had regained some vitality under Xie Fuwei's governance, and Dayu's army was much stronger than before.
The Western Region countries joined forces to persecute the emperor, but the emperor insisted on pushing back, but they actually did not dare to really cut off trade.
But the emperor took it seriously.
Ten years ago, the emperor sent a decree to Western Xinjiang.
In the name of the crimes committed by many people from the Western Regions in Dayu, the Western Frontier Army sent out 60,000 troops and wiped out three small countries in one go. The envoys from the Western Regions once again rushed to Geling City to see the Emperor.
.
Since then, Dayu's attitude towards neighboring countries began to change.
Five years ago, after Lin Ye led his army to the north of Dongbo, the attitudes of many small countries around Dayu changed again. Many of them took the initiative to become Dayu's vassal state.
At this time, the situation that the emperor Xie Fuwei hoped to have really appeared.
No matter it is a big country or a small country, whether it is an envoy or a businessman, everyone who came to Dayu began to take the initiative to strictly abide by Dayu's laws and act, and no one dared to be domineering anymore.
Now, on the Dongbo battlefield, Dayu has swallowed up Lou Fan's one-million-strong army with an army of 500,000. From then on, the situation will usher in another change.
On the carriage, Lin Ye heard the coachman say these words... If the beauty is a guest under Lou Fan's rules, for example, hiring a carriage costs money, then why should I hack the beauty to death?
So Lin Ye understood that the country of Lou Fan could not be destroyed in a short while.
The emperor Xie Fuwei spent more than twenty years cultivating the beauty's self-confidence, and so far it has only begun to take shape.
This kind of self-confidence has been formed in Loufan for at least hundreds of years.
Lin Ye is walking alone. What matters is not only the reaction of Loufan's top management, but also the attitude of the people of Loufan. Only by seeing everything that needs to be seen can we know the future direction.
Counting from the Battle of Dongbo to now, the offensive and defensive postures of the two countries will inevitably undergo huge changes in the future.
In Dayu, there will inevitably be voices that take advantage of the situation to destroy Lou Fan, and as the news of the great victory spreads back to the country, the voices of the people will become louder and louder.
At this time, once the decision-making level becomes hot-headed, the advantage that Dayu has finally gained may collapse in an instant.
Dayu and Loufan are separated not only by Dongbo, but also by many small countries to the north of Dongbo.
If Dayu wants to take advantage of the situation to make the Northern Expedition, domestic money, food and supplies will not be available at all.
What about Dongbo?
Dongbo is much poorer than Dayu. If all the food and fodder supplies for hundreds of thousands of troops are left to Dongbo to prepare, then there is almost a 10% chance that these hundreds of thousands of troops will die in a foreign country.
Lin Ye was lying on the carriage and thinking. The next thing to do is not to pursue victory, but to formulate a five-year, ten-year, or even longer-term plan.
During this period, Dongbo cannot be conquered by Dayu and become a state. Dongbo must still exist as a separate country, not for anything else but for stability.
Dayu needs a stable period of at least ten years so that he can accumulate enough strength for the Northern Expedition.
Within ten years, Dongbo had largely recovered and could not support the 500,000-strong army needed for the Northern Expedition, but could at least support half of the supplies.
Loufan is too big, and Dayu is too far away from Loufan. Once the northern expedition occurs, the battle front will be unprecedentedly long, and the supply line will also be unprecedentedly long.
Therefore, the most correct plan is for Dayu to develop strongly for five or ten years, and during this period, Lou Fan will always be in civil strife.
If one thing goes down and the other goes up, you have a chance of winning.
"Hello."
The driver suddenly interrupted Lin Ye's thinking.
He asked: "Why do you Dongbo people want to get close to beauties?"
Lin Ye answered the question with a smile: "Because you beat us up."
This answer stunned the coachman.
He instinctively wanted to refute Lin Ye, but it was such a simple reason. He thought about it for a long time, but could not think of anything to refute.
Lin Ye said: "If Lou Fan continues to beat us, then maybe one day in the future, when the Jade Kingdom invades Lou Fan in the north, Dongbo's army will attack together."
The driver said: "Then you can't win either."
Lin Ye: "What if all the millions of troops that Lou Fan marched to the south died this time? Then Lou Fan will have no soldiers to fight in the future."
The coachman said: "Impossible, you can destroy the million-strong army at your own risk? Maybe it has already invaded the Jade Kingdom."
Then he added: "It doesn't matter if we lose this southern expedition. How could Lou Fan fight without soldiers? If the Jade Man really comes, I will be a soldier, and my son will be too. If necessary, I will
My father, who is in his fifties, is also a soldier."
Lin Ye said: "Then, have you ever thought about it, now that you Loufan has no emperor, will you fight among yourselves in order to compete for the throne?"
The coachman did not answer his question.
Lin Ye continued: "For example, if you people here in southern Xinjiang are not convinced by someone from the north becoming emperor, or if the leaders of those big tribes also want to be emperor, and they are fighting in a mess, will you join the war? Will your son join the war?
?Will your father, who is in his fifties, go to war?"
The driver hesitated.
Then he shook his head: "No."
Lin Ye said: "You can."
The driver was determined: "Absolutely not."
Lin Ye said: "Maybe that day will not be far away. If you choose not to, I'm afraid you will be in exile for the rest of your life."
The driver wanted to drive Lin Ye out of the car, but finally held back.
At this moment, smoke and dust rose across the official road, and a cavalry team roared towards the south. There were not many people, and they seemed to be in a hurry.
Pedestrians on the official road gave way for fear of being knocked down by those war horses.
"Zongzheng Lianhai has usurped power and seized the throne. Under the orders of King Lu, all people in all counties and counties, all men over the age of fifteen and under sixty, must join King Lu's army to conquer the rebels!"
These cavalrymen galloped and shouted all the way. When they passed Lin Ye's car, someone shouted to Lin Ye's driver: "Hurry to the camp thirty miles ahead to report and collect military equipment!"
At this moment, the driver's face turned a little pale.
The king of Lu means that the clan is prominent.
"Isn't King Lu leading a million-strong army to conquer the Jade Kingdom in the south? News came back a while ago that King Lu has conquered the entire Dongbo, and his troops are now outside Yunzhou City of the Yu Kingdom."
The coachman said to himself: "Why are you back so suddenly? Why is there suddenly going to be a war?"
Lin Ye also muttered to himself: "I knew that day wouldn't be too far away, but I didn't expect it to be today."
This sentence was addressed to the coachman.
Well done!
These words were spoken to the Supreme Sage from the bottom of my heart.
The group of cavalry heading south did not all leave. Seeing that there were many people on the official road at this time, a dozen people were left behind, forcing passers-by to go north to King Lu's recruiting camp.
The driver listened to the shouts of the soldiers and remained silent, silent, silent.
After a while, he suddenly stopped his horse, pulled Lin Ye off the carriage, and quickly removed the harness from the horse's back.
Lin Ye: "I advise you not to act rashly."
The coachman shook his head: "No, I have to go home, I have to let my son hide, I have to let my father hide, I have to hide..."
He muttered to himself, then turned over and mounted the saddleless horse, which was destined to be impossible to run very fast.
He mounted his horse, turned around, and rushed out with a determined look on his face.
Lin Ye saw it, and the two Lou Fan cavalrymen immediately took off their bows and arrows and aimed at them.
The moment the two arrows were about to leave the bowstring, the two knights were sent to hell by Lin Ye's blow.
Lin Ye waved to the driver who turned around: "Let's go, let's go."
He said: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't care. If I shoot you to death, there will be more resistance. But who told you to accompany me all the way? I wish you a long way to go."
The dozen or so cavalrymen who remained were all killed by Lin Ye, and the passers-by who were driven away by the cavalry were all frightened.
Lin Ye asked: "Why don't you run away?"
So, they dispersed in a hurry.
The coachman may not be able to escape at all. He and his son, his father in his fifties, can avoid this recruitment, but they cannot avoid the next one.
The illustrious Zongzheng would never allow the throne to be transferred to Zongzheng Lianhai, and the civil strife in Loufan has become unstoppable.
very nice.
Lin Ye praised the Supreme Sage a few words in his heart, very sincerely.
Lin Ye did not continue walking on the main road, not because he was afraid that more Loufan soldiers would see him, but he just didn't want to be in trouble. Zongzheng's prominent recruiting camp was only thirty miles ahead. He would go there, but not right away.
And he can save a coachman, but he will never kill Zong Zhengxian.
After passing through a wilderness, Lin Ye saw a small village in the distance, thinking that he would rest here tonight, so he headed towards the village.
As soon as I entered the village, I heard bursts of crying, all from women and children.
Lin Ye stood at the entrance of the village and saw many women gathered together. They seemed not to know what to do and did not discuss countermeasures. They just gathered together and cried.
The children didn't know what was happening, but the mothers were crying, and they cried together, and they cried together.
It seems that all the men in this village have been captured.
Lin Ye did not enter the village because the crying would probably not stop that night. He would not be able to sleep peacefully while resting here.
I left the village and continued walking, and arrived at another village about an hour later, but this village was even worse than the previous one because people died and there was a fire.
Probably there was resistance.
So some people were hacked to death on the spot by Lou Fan soldiers, and some houses were set on fire.
Many people stood on the main street of the village, crying and trembling, looking at the raging fire and feeling at a loss.
Lin Ye left again.
Before midnight, Lin Ye arrived at a small town. He climbed in from the city wall and stood on a high place, only to see chaos in the small town.
Those Lou Fan soldiers wantonly robbed the gold and silver from the shops, and some Lou Fan soldiers dragged women into dark alleys.
A merchant resisted and was hacked to death. Lou Fan soldiers rushed into his shop, plundered everything inside, and then set the shop on fire.
A disheveled woman was running in front, and six or seven Lou Fan soldiers were chasing her. She was crying in front of her and laughing in the back. It wasn't that they couldn't catch up, but they were chasing her for fun.
Lin Ye sat down at a high place and watched this scene.
A peerless expert in the God-endowed Realm, like him, could kill many people even if he went all the way north and reached the capital of Loufan in one go.
What the Supreme Sage is doing right now is causing Lou Fan to die or injure millions, or even tens of millions.
Relatively speaking, no matter how strong a warrior is, he is still weak.
