Chapter 1340 Corruption

Lin Si was completely unaware of the conversation that took place in the darkroom of the Yongqiu Palace.

He didn't even know that because of Hua Susu, the third son of Wenkang Palace was promoted, because no one would think to tell him these 'little things'.

At this time, he had already let go of the affairs of the formation. Except for taking the time to teach those students, his main thoughts were on the next battle.

No matter the grassland or the Southern Qi, they were already facing the enemy, and they were ready to face the battle.

Obviously they are also very clear that if they don't want to surrender like Qingchuan, they can only go to war.

When the Prairie Kingdom was attacked in Qianlan last time, it was driven to the far western hinterland by the Moon Kingdom army.Now that more than a year has passed, naturally it has gradually returned to the original place.

The battle against the grassland will not be too easy, even if they are not as powerful as the Qianlan Kingdom, but the grassland cavalry is difficult to deal with.

As for Nan Qi, what they can count on is the Purple Star Kingdom.

In fact, what the King of Nanqi regrets most now is that he joined the Shenyan camp and launched a war against the Moon Kingdom.

This was not a wrong move in the first place, the original intention of the Southern Qi monarchs and ministers was to get the backing of the Shenyan Empire, so that they could dominate the southeast region.

And that plan was quite smooth in the first place. At that time, with the help of the Purple Star Kingdom, Nan Qi invaded the hinterland of the Yue Kingdom.

It's just that the backing is not only good but not bad. For some reason, Shen Yan ordered Nan Qi to withdraw halfway, giving up a good situation.

If in the past, Nan Qi didn't need to pay attention to the attitude of the Shenyan Empire, after all they were beyond their reach.But after joining the Shenyan camp and betraying the Bilan camp, they couldn't help themselves, because they had no way out.

If they were disobedient at that time, they would only offend the two camps at the same time.And at that time, instead of helping them, maybe Zixing would point his sword at them instead.

Since then, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Qi Dynasty have tasted the bitter fruit. Gaining a backer also means being on someone else's boat and needing to work for others.Since then, they have become involuntary and stuck in mud.

The consecutive defeats against Lin Si, Xue Chen and others on the battlefield have left Nan Qi with few invincible soldiers.But in the past two or three years, the Southern Qi Kingdom has been extremely weak. Although the people were forced to recruit soldiers, it was difficult to guarantee their combat effectiveness.

To make matters worse, during those two or three years, the Qianlan Kingdom also invaded Nanqi.If it wasn't for the Purple Star army marching into Southern Qi, I'm afraid that Southern Qi would have perished by then.

To be honest, the inland area of ​​Nanqi was not damaged much.

Although Lin Si and the others had defeated the Southern Qi army, they hadn't had time to go all the way in.And because the war between the Qianlan Kingdom and the Purple Star has not been won, the Qianlan people have not had time to collect much fruit.

But this does not mean that the people in Ganlan are doing well now. Years of wars have brought a heavy burden on the people.

Wars required military expenses, so the Southern Qi monarchs and ministers increased the taxation of the people.Fighting needs civilian husbands and soldiers, so most of the young and strong civilians were forcibly taken into the barracks.

The consequence of this is that there is a lack of people to cultivate the private fields, and many industries are also withered due to lack of manpower and materials.In addition, the Southern Qi, which has always been in jeopardy, has also made domestic and foreign businessmen feel uneasy.

No one can predict how long Nanqi can last, maybe they will be wiped out by Qianlan, maybe they will be wiped out by Yueguo, or even swallowed up by Zixing behind them.

At that time, will these businessmen suffer heavy losses or even lose their lives because of the war?

So in the past two or three years, many chambers of commerce in Southern Qi moved to other countries to escape the war.But on the contrary, there are still a group of businessmen who saw business opportunities from this war.

During the war, the shortage of many goods made some merchants hoard and make a fortune.The people who suffer in the end are of course the common people.Among them, the participation of some Southern Qi officials is naturally indispensable.

It can be said that the current Nanqi is already a mess.

The people have long been full of complaints. Even in this period of powerful enemies, resistance and uprisings are still breaking out in Southern Qi.The people who could not survive broke into the city to open warehouses and rob grain, and confiscated the rich.

At present, several groups in the Southern Qi Dynasty have grown rapidly and formed a certain scale of rebel army.In this regard, the Southern Qi court was almost helpless.

Many city guards in inland cities who have never fought at all have already been transferred to the front line because they still have foreign enemies.

Facing internal troubles at this time, even if they wanted to suppress them, they couldn't be too busy.

Therefore, they can only rely on the help of the Purple Star Kingdom again, and let the Purple Star people suppress the uprising in their own country...

The current Nanqi cannot be separated from the Purple Star Kingdom.Whether they are facing foreign enemies or internal troubles, they are extremely dependent on this 'ally', otherwise Nan Qi will collapse immediately.

So now, the Southern Qi monarchs and ministers have lost control of Southern Qi, and their internal affairs have been controlled by the Zixing people without knowing it, and they can only rely on the Zixing people to live.

The present Southern Qi has indeed not perished, but it has actually become the back garden of the Purple Star Kingdom.If the Zixing people are willing, they can actually turn Nan Qi into the territory of Zixing at any time.

It's just that, because of the previous Qianlan and the current Yue Kingdom, these threats have always existed, and they haven't reached that step yet.After all, they still need Nan Qi's cooperation and Nan Qi's help to defend against powerful enemies.

Of course the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Qi Dynasty did not want to fall into this situation, let alone willingly, but unfortunately they are powerless now.

If they turned against Zixing, they would not even be able to keep their current glory and wealth.

This is the consequence of being attached to a big country when one is not strong.While finding a strong backer, it also means that one's own destiny may no longer be controlled by oneself.

If Lin Sihengkong hadn't been born, if Yueguo had chosen Bilan as a backer at that time to contend against Nan Qi, then the current Southeast Region would only become another battlefield for the divine flame Bilan.The soldiers of Yue Kingdom and Southern Qi fought to death, it was just a game between the god Yan Bilan.

Now, the fate of the Moon Kingdom has already been controlled by the Bilan Empire.

It was for this reason that Yueshan had been unwilling to be a vassal of the Bilan Empire at the beginning—even though the early Bilan did not look down on the Yue Kingdom or even the Southeast Region.

The emperors and ministers of the Southern Qi Dynasty were not stupid. It was not that they could not see the consequences of becoming a vassal at that time, but they felt that once the Southern Qi Dynasty could unify the six southeastern countries and become powerful, they would have enough right to speak at that time.

It's a pity that the existence of Lin Si's variable disrupted everything for them.

So to this day, they are already living day by day, lingering on their last days.They also don't know what will happen to Nan Qi's future fate, even if Yue Kingdom is defeated... Will Nan Qi get better?
After defeating the Yue Kingdom, Nan Qi is no longer Nan Qi, and it is not out of kindness that the Purple Star people help him.

Lin Si is well aware of the current situation in Southern Qi.

"We may be able to take advantage of some favorable conditions in this battle against Nanqi."

In the discussion of this battle, besides Xue Chen, Ye Hong, Fan Xing and other Yue Kingdom generals, there were also Ji Bingyun, Shen Qing and others.And the one who said this at this time was naturally Lin Si.

He is a person who is good at making use of all conditions in the war to win. How could he not take advantage of Nan Qi's situation?
It is true that if they are fighting head-on, the Yue Kingdom's current army front, the Zixing and the Southern Qi coalition forces may not be able to stop it, but that may cause considerable damage to the Yue Kingdom's army.

After all, this battle is no longer the blitz and sneak attack of the original attack on Qianlan. The opponent has already been ready for the battle.

"His Royal Highness means...divorce?"

The first person to respond was Shen Qing, the former general of Qianlan Zhengbei.

Many people can see the situation in the Southern Qi Dynasty, and Shen Qing was once a famous general in the Tianshu policy. To a certain extent, his strategic vision surpasses that of Xue Chen and Ye Hong.

He knows that war is not limited to the battlefield, and outside the battlefield, there are also key factors that affect the outcome of the war.

However, he is a general.After returning to Yue Kingdom, although he still retains the position of General Zhengbei and still serves in the front-line barracks, it is impossible to say that Lin Siyue Luoning has no defense against him.

He needs to use time or actual actions to prove himself, and now is the time for him to prove himself.

His words made many people in the tent look disapproving.

"Divorce? Is it to separate Nan Qi and Zi Xing? Nan Qi is the barrier of Zi Xing, they will not give up Nan Qi. And the people of Nan Qi, will they give up their resistance?" Zhenbei General Fan Xing sneered.

"Yes, there are indeed some conflicts between Nanqi and Zixing, but when facing foreign enemies, they will only cooperate sincerely, and the separation will never succeed!" Anbei General Jiang Qi also echoed his words.

These two men were the generals of the internal army who followed Lin Si to fight back against the Southern Qi. They had gone through many battles and had outstanding abilities. They were Lin Si's confidantes.

And as soon as they spoke, there was a buzz of discussion in the tent, which was less than 30 people.

The five generals Ganlan and the three generals Qingchuan in the tent remained silent, while Lin Si sighed secretly.

Yes, like the imperial court, factions and xenophobia also exist in the military.

Most of the local generals of the Yue Kingdom resented and despised these surrendered generals.As for the surrendered generals, they were also wary of people like Yue Guo. They were worried that they would be suppressed and liquidated in the future.

Of course Lin Si didn't want to see this scene, he hoped that the two sides could not distinguish each other, but unfortunately that seemed impossible.

Perhaps with the passage of time, as the friendship between the two sides fighting side by side on the battlefield deepens, everything will be better in the future, right?He thought to himself.

"I think what General Shen Qing said is reasonable. We can't let go of any favorable conditions that can defeat the enemy. Even if we can't succeed, we can still try!"

As soon as he spoke, the big tent fell silent instantly.

The same opinion came from his mouth, but the effect was completely different from that of Shen Qing.

"I wonder if General Shen Qing has a specific plan?" He smiled and looked at the solemn black-bearded general beside him.
