The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 623 Change Your Mind
"Go down!"

Li Wangyuan couldn't wait to urge the soldiers who controlled the hot air balloon.

However, the old turtle carried Wude and Lewu on his back and headed south along the torrent.

The back of the turtle was undulating, and soon it was getting farther and farther away from Chongqing Mansion.

Only words floated into the air, "The people in the city, please ask the Emperor Xixia."

The voice was like a Buddhist chanting, not loud and clear, but it rang directly in everyone's hearts.

Li Wangyuan was stunned, slightly absent-minded.

Immediately, he waved his hands with some disinterest, "Go and settle in the city!"

He originally planned to chase Monk Wude, but at this moment he realized that he was whimsical.

If the living Buddha does not have such a Buddhist monk, it is unlikely that he will serve any country.After all, not every Buddhist eminent monk pursues Buddhist luck like the Yuan Dynasty master.

What's more, the living Buddha Wude is still a wandering monk.This is even more impossible.

Avoiding seeing the living Buddha is already a kind of silent refusal.

The old turtle quietly disappeared.

Li Wangyuan led the nearby hot air balloon and landed near the inner city.

At this point, the Xixia Army got what it wanted, not only survived the catastrophe, but also won the entire Chongqing Mansion without any effort.

The white horse army that had left the city was over, and they had never thought about turning back, and went directly to Tongchuan Mansion.

In the middle of the night, the heavy rain didn't stop.

Several inches of water accumulated in Chongqing Mansion, making it look like a mess.But this amount of water, naturally, will not cause any disasters in the city.

The people ran in the water that reached the calf bone. After narrowly escaping from death, they felt lingering fear.

No one knows whether the Chongqing government will continue to spread the flames of the Northern War, and those who can leave, no one wants to stay here.

After Li Wangyuan saw the Xixia soldiers who were still in shock, he actually asked them to help the people in the city to repair their houses.This surprised countless people.

It's just that after He Liancheng and the others saw that they could not stand on the peak of the flood, they were also emotional, and no one objected.

Everyone is raised by their parents.

Although this Kuizhou cannot be said to be the land of Xixia, the people here are also the people.

The post-disaster reconstruction in Chongqing soon started.

This not only surprised the people in the city, but also changed their impression of the "invaders" of Xixia soldiers.After all, even the White Horse Army, which was supposed to help them, was nowhere to be seen.

The difference is just like this.

In the middle of the night, Li Wangyuan finally entered the government office of Chongqing with the civil servants and generals of Xixia.

Zhongsun Qifu struggled out of the horror of the flood, and now his mood gradually calmed down, with joy on his face.

Originally, this flood was a catastrophe for them, but the appearance of Wude, the living Buddha, made this flood a blessing for them.

If they wanted to take down the entire Chongqing Mansion just by charging soldiers, they would have to spend a lot of money.

A military commander couldn't stop smiling, "Your Majesty, this Kuizhou will be our Xixia Kuizhou from now on."

These military generals led their soldiers to fight on the battlefield, and they felt Kuizhou's hard-won more clearly, and they must be more joyful.

Then, Li Wangyuan frowned slightly, and said softly: "Everyone, I still plan to give up Kuizhou Road to the Song Dynasty and return to Xiushu."

Everyone was shocked by these words, and the smiles on their faces gradually froze.

He Liancheng asked eagerly: "Your Majesty, why is this? We paid such a high price to win Kuizhou, why do we have to surrender to the Song Dynasty?"

"It's taken, can you keep it?"

Li Wangyuan smiled wryly, and said: "I have been very familiar with the domestic situation these days. At present, among the four countries in the Central Plains, our Xixia's strength is the weakest, and our foundation is the shallowest. Occupying Kuizhou, Shuzhong and even the Song Dynasty It is possible to send troops to attack after recovering. At that time, no matter whether we can defend Kuizhou or not, the people of Kuizhou will inevitably be displaced. The living Buddha has no power to stop the flood peak by himself. He only serves the soldiers and people in Chongqing. How can I? To make the people of Kuizhou suffer for the selfish desire to dominate the world?"

He waved his hand, "I want the world, but what I want is a world where the people live in peace. Now there are still many people in the country who are hungry, let's let the people in the country have enough to eat first, and then think about it." Let's fight for hegemony in the world! The common people can't eat enough, even if they win the world, it won't last long."

He obviously wanted to understand something after seeing Wu Deshi Hong Feng.

When Zhongsun Qifu and others heard Li Wangyuan's words, many people looked thoughtful.

He Liancheng's face turned red, "Your Majesty, even if we want to make the country peaceful and the people safe, we don't have to give up the city we got, right?"

Li Wangyuan only said: "Kuizhou is likely to become the place where our dynasty develops, but it may also become the place where countless soldiers of our dynasty have fallen into the sand. General Helian, you are sure that there is a great Song Dynasty in the east and a central Shu in the west." Are you going to guard this Kuizhou? If you are so sure, I will hand over this Kuizhou to you, how about it?"

He Liancheng was speechless.

It is true that he is a leader of the Young and Strong faction in the army, but he dare not say that he is sure that he can hold the entire Kuizhou.

Before, the whole court wanted to occupy Kuizhou, but it was the defeat of Zhongzhou that was holding back their anger and not expressing their displeasure.Secondly, it was also a fluke to be able to defend Kuizhou.

Xixia has been living in the cracks controlled by the Yuan Dynasty all year round, and it is really eager to get more land.Everyone enjoys this sense of accomplishment.

And Li Wangyuan's words at this time were like a slap in the face.

Many people gradually came to their senses.

No matter how strong the strength is, the current Xixia may not be able to spare Kuizhou.It can be said that the hope of successfully occupying Kuizhou does not exceed [-]%.

In the past, everyone could ignore this issue, but now Li Wangyuan no longer uses Li Xiushu to talk about it, but directly brings it up, so that no one can pretend to be stupid anymore.

Li Wangyuan said again: "When we have a strong army in the country, it is the most suitable time to take Kuizhou and conquer the world. Now that the Song and Yuan Dynasties are negotiating peace, they undoubtedly have this kind of mind in mind. Maybe the Song Dynasty will not attack Kuizhou with military force. But Dali alone is enough to consume a lot of our energy."

He glanced at everyone, "In my opinion, giving up this hot spot to the Song Dynasty is the most correct choice for my dynasty. At the same time, I can also return Princess Xiushu, which is my wish."

Indeed, with Xixia's current strength, it is very difficult to develop Kuizhou.Even if you want to defend Kuizhou, you will have to pay a huge price, and you may not be able to defend it.

The development of a country is not as simple as how much land is laid.

The efforts of the Yuan Dynasty for decades failed to win the hearts of the people in the old land of the Song Dynasty. How long will it take Xixia to make the entire Kuizhou truly belong to Xixia?

Zhongsun Qifu sighed softly, "Your Majesty, the old minister is a little too hasty."

He glanced at everyone, "Our Xixia has just returned to the country, and the foundation is not stable. We should indeed defend it first, and then try to make progress..."

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhongsun Qifu's words are actually more useful in Xixia than Li Wangyuan's.When he said that, someone nodded immediately.

Occupying Kuizhou is an opportunity.But this opportunity is also dangerous, and it is likely to become a quagmire, dragging Xixia to death completely.

Li Wangyuan was delighted, "Then shall we send envoys to Song Dynasty?"

What he said before was for the country, but in fact it was more for his sister Li Xiushu.

Seeing the moment when Monk Wude gave up his life to fight the flood, Li Wangyuan's mental journey was actually very complicated, it can be said to be ups and downs.

No living Buddha can ignore his own life for the strangers in the Chongqing mansion, but he is actually going to give up his sister for the so-called overlord?

When Yongmu proclaimed himself emperor, Li Wangyuan felt the beauty of imperial power.But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that imperial power was like that.It is beautiful, but if no one shares it, I am afraid that life will be meaningless.

Although some of the Xixia ministers were still unwilling to give up Kuizhou, most of them nodded slightly.

They may not care whether Li Xiushu can come back, but they cannot but care whether Xixia, the land of Kuizhou, can be defended.

After Li Wangyuan's words, few people continued to immerse themselves in the empire dream, and gradually regained their composure.

Guarding every inch of land will cost Xixia soldiers.

On this night, there were pigeons flying north from Chongqing government.Not surprisingly, the carrier pigeon will first go to Lizhou East Road, and then to Jing South Road.

Although this is the opposite, the speed of a carrier pigeon is undoubtedly much faster than that of a fast horse.
