In the Heavens

Cultivated to break through the primordial spirit, the Southwest Palace was full of joy and laughter. In this era where great power belongs to oneself, the birth of every top powerhouse can affect the world pattern.

With Li Mu's current cultivation, he is undoubtedly at the forefront of all his competitors. As long as you don't encounter competitors who cheat, even if you can't rule the world smoothly, you can still rule one side.

Taking advantage of this good news, the Lingnan Raiders also kicked off. Cui Haoyu can only be blamed for his bad luck. In this age of the jungle, those who fall behind will be beaten.

A strong man is not a nanny, and the ghost emperor could not be found for several months, and people from the Overseas Immortal Sect Alliance had to leave.

The world is so big, and their cultivation base has reached the level of ghost emperors, and they want to hide all they want, so no one can do anything about them.

Don't look at the great momentum of the Overseas Immortal Sect Alliance, sending six Yangshen (Yuanshen) immortal cultivators and dozens of Yinshen (Jindan) immortal cultivators at one time, in fact, it is more just for show.

If I really want to completely wipe out the line of ghosts, it is impossible to do it without the help of immortals and gods. Under the circumstances of not being sure about Gu Zhou's injuries, no one is willing to fight them to the death easily.

The main purpose of sending masters to encircle and suppress them is to frighten people's hearts, and to tell Ghost Dao that their Overseas Immortal Sect Alliance is not easy to mess with.

The massive encirclement and suppression operation finally ended with the beheading of seven ghost kings who were short-sighted. The name of the Overseas Immortal Sect Alliance has been established, but the leftover feathers need to be cleaned up by Cui Haoyu, the King of Lingnan.

While you are sick, I will kill you. Fighting for the dragon in troubled times has never been said to be soft-hearted. With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, good neighbors will naturally not give up.

Looking at the map of Great Zhou on the wall, Li Mu said to his subordinates: "The war with the King of Yue can be over after the beginning of spring.

After destroying last year's autumn harvest and affecting this year's spring plowing, King Yue should be able to settle down for two years.

In the next battle of Lingnan, what we need to beware of is King Wu and King Dan. Do you have a clever plan to solve this serious problem for Gu? "

In the feudal farming era, spring plowing and autumn harvest were undoubtedly the most important seasons. Under normal circumstances, the princes will choose to finish the spring plowing or the autumn harvest when they start a war.

Li Mu's practice of starting the war before the autumn harvest and continuing the war until the end of the spring plowing is undoubtedly an uneasy routine.

Properly kill one thousand enemies, and self-damage eight hundred.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu started to play, and after taking away the hidden population and land from the aristocratic family, he has already beaten all the princes in terms of financial revenue.

The bumper harvests for several consecutive years have accumulated a large amount of food and grass for Li Mu. With a large amount of material reserves, the Southwest Land can afford to lose now.

Putting it on other princes will not work. The delay from autumn harvest to the end of spring plowing means that grain production has been affected for two consecutive years.

There is neither money nor food in the treasury. It is a big challenge to maintain normal rule, let alone provoke a big war.

In this war against the King of Yue, it seemed that there was not much to gain on the battlefield, but in fact it had won a big strategic victory.

Not only did it delay the other party's progress in sorting out the internal affairs, but it also destroyed the other party's finances. Without years, it's hard to recover.

In troubled times to fight for the dragon, the most lacking thing is time. Not to mention a few years, even a few months, the situation in the world may undergo earth-shaking changes.

With one competitor removed, the difficulty of Lingnan Raiders dropped by a quarter in an instant.

"My lord, although Dan Wang has a prominent background, he has just established his foundation and the land of the six states under his rule has not yet been completely pacified, so it is difficult to launch a war in a short period of time.

It is Wu Wang who needs to be vigilant. As a child of a big family in Wudi, Longqingshan has been operating in Yuhang for a long time, and his comprehensive strength can rank among the top three among the many princes in southern Xinjiang.

But this is both his advantage and his disadvantage. The Long family's network of connections in Wu land established the rapid rise of Long Qingshan, but also restricted his further development.

Other princes can find ways to sort out their internal affairs slowly, suppress the powerful families under their rule, and consolidate their own rule, but Long Qingshan can't.

As the Qianlong launched by the aristocratic family in Wudi, Long Qingshan is too tightly tied to the aristocratic family under his rule, so it is difficult to make up his mind to cut it.

In the short term it is our danger, but in the long run, King Wu is the least threatening.

No matter how smooth Long Qingshan's early development was, if he couldn't solve the internal problems, he would be the first to be out of this world dispute.

You only need to choose a general who is good at defending, deploy strict defenses on the border, block the enemy's early offensive, and buy time for the army to pacify Lingnan.

Now, we are not the only ones interested in Lingnan Land. With such a good opportunity, King Chu, King Xu, and King Cai, who are good neighbors, will most likely get a share of the pie. If King Yue hadn't been severely injured by us, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to bear it anymore.

Once the war starts, Lingnan King will face at least four enemy sieges. Even if all parties are unable to do their best, it is not something they can parry.

It is not difficult to destroy the King of Lingnan, the key lies in how much benefit we can take away after the King of Lingnan is destroyed.

Considering the balance of the situation in the south, the prince should not be too aggressive at this time. For the seven prefectures in south of the Five Ridges, we only need to win the strategically important Eastern Dian and Central Dian prefectures, and the remaining five prefectures can be handed over to King Chu, King Xu, and King Cai first.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that they were dragged in the land of Lingnan, we first turned around and came back to pacify the enemies in the land of Wuyue. Don't seek a big victory, just let the war continue and don't give them a chance to recuperate.

The prince is talented and generous, and he solved the internal troubles in the Southwest early. Putting together consumption, no one is our opponent.

Another advantage of adopting a war of attrition is that the situation has not yet collapsed, and the supporters behind the scenes will not end in person.

Relying on water grinding kung fu to slowly consume their strength, gradually undermine the confidence of supporters, and it will take less than three years to pacify the land of Wuyue. "

Although it is just talk on paper, it can be discussed these days, and it is a little bit feasible in theory, and those are all proper talents.

The so-called clever calculations are all bullshit. Talents are honed slowly, and this is not the case with the famous founding ministers of all dynasties. Li Mu wouldn't dare to use it if he really reached the full level when he came out of the mountain.

Glancing at the confident middle-aged staff, Li Mu didn't say anything shocking. This set of plans cannot be said to be perfect, but at least it is feasible.

Whether it can succeed in the end, there are too many factors involved in that thing, no one can draw a conclusion in advance.

However, Li Mu listened to one thing: first stabilize the enemy's behind-the-scenes supporters, slowly wear down their patience, and finally force their strong men to sever their wrists.

There is no free lunch in the world, and there is a price to be paid for asking for help from behind-the-scenes supporters. Once or twice, people are very happy, and everyone will get tired of tossing and tossing a hundred or eighty times.

Especially asking for help for trivial matters will damage the confidence of supporters. It involves wealth and life, if you really can't help it, people won't keep fighting.

This is an overt conspiracy. Ordinary soldiers who have always limited their fighting to confront each other. Before the winner is decided, the strong on both sides will not act rashly.

As long as the war continues, the enemy will be forced to ask for food and money from the supporters behind the scenes. Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts, and no one's money and food are blown by strong winds. After several times in a row, people's hearts will change.

"Yuncheng, what you said is true. In troubled times, there is no need to care about the gains and losses of a city or a place. The land of Lingnan can indeed be stored in the hands of the enemy first, and it happens that we also need someone to share the anger of Qingyun Xianzong.

Now money and food are our greatest advantage, which is unmatched by any prince in the world, and there is no reason not to use it. Do you have anything to add? "

While speaking, Li Mu cast his expectant eyes on everyone.

Lack of talent has always been his biggest shortcoming. Although efforts have been made to cultivate, this cannot be solved in the short term.

The only consolation is that his family is not the only one that lacks talents, all princes in the world are facing the same problem, and everyone is now comparing themselves to the worst.

The Ten Thousand Zai Great Week brings not only the solidification of class, but also the solidification of thinking mode. Suddenly entering the troubled times and fighting for hegemony, many people's thinking patterns have not changed.

The princes and kings of the world either regard the struggle for dragons in troubled times as gangs grabbing territory, or as aristocratic families fighting for living space.

Those who truly understand the essence of fighting for dragons are very few.

All the famous people in the world who are sought after by the princes, in Li Mu's view, those guys are just sticks. It's okay to engage in conspiracy and calculation, but you don't know what strategy is at all.

If he just wanted to expand his territory, he would occupy more than ten states. Not to mention unifying the land of southern Xinjiang, at least one-third of the states and counties in the south can be occupied.

But that kind of rule that will fall when the wind blows has no practical significance. Strength on paper and actual strength are two concepts.

...

The movement is a war of millions of troops, and the movement is too great to keep secret at all.

After he felt the neighbor's change, Lingnan Wang Cui Haoyu immediately confirmed that it was aimed at himself.

The seven Lingnan prefectures were at the bottom of the hundred prefectures of the Great Zhou. He, the Lingnan king, was among the world's princes, and his comprehensive strength was also in the middle and lower reaches. It was inevitable that he would be watched by others.

He was already weak in strength, and now unfortunately suffered a serious injury from a ghost, so the neighbors naturally took the opportunity to add insult to injury.

Looking at the information gathered in his hands, Cui Haoyu said with a gloomy face: "The king of Southwest, the king of Chu, the king of Xu, and the king of Cai are all eyeing my land in the south of the Five Ridges. Do you have any countermeasures?"

With one against four, it would be a headache to put it on anyone. What's more, when the vitality was seriously injured, it was clearly the house leaking and it was raining all night.

Facing Lingnan King's gaze, the middle-aged counselor on the side replied: "My lord, don't worry. The enemy seems to be menacing, but the four princes are fighting on their own, and they can't attack with all their strength.

An enemy's enemy is a friend, and none of the princes would like to see them annex our Lingnan land. The prince can definitely send eloquent and eloquent people to the southern princes to find allies to deal with these four princes.

The four kings of Chu, Xu, Cai, and Southwest have different strengths. Among them, King Chu and King Southwest are the most powerful. They are the two most powerful princes in the south, and they are also the main enemies of the prince this time.

However, the war between the King of Southwest and the King of Yue last year has not yet ended, and it is impossible to invest too many troops in a short period of time to invade our Lingnan land. As long as we persuade the Kings of Yue, Wu and Dan to form an alliance with us, the threat of the Southwest King will be easily resolved.

King Xu and King Cai were limited in strength, and they were also threatened by King Chu. If we are destroyed, the military pressure they face will only become more severe.

As long as the envoys are sent to identify powerful connections, cede some counties and counties, and bribe important officials with a lot of money, there is a chance to buy them over.

Right now, the one we need to be most vigilant about is the King of Chu. The land of Chu is the most affluent, and King Deyang of Chu comes from a powerful family, whose strength is far beyond our comparison.

In the southern land, only the King of Wu and the King of Southwest can compete with him, and all the other princes are inferior.

Strong strength is the advantage of King Chu, and it is also his disadvantage. The princes from all walks of life in the south do not want to see the King of Chu continue to grow. This is our opportunity.

If it is done properly, the prince can take this as an opportunity to form an alliance with the southern princes to fight against the king of Chu,"
