The current situation in Duanyang is complicated. Lin Ruzhi sent his cronies to take over Duanyang affairs, while Qin Feng sent a team of secret guards to help maintain order. Duanyang is also close to Wu'an. What's happening there these days

You can hear them all.

All kinds of speculations arose spontaneously, and all kinds of rumors were also growing. Cheng Ansu naturally knew about it, but fortunately she had long been in contact with Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao, and she knew what was happening and where it was going earlier than ordinary people.

Cheng Ansu came out to greet him with mixed emotions. When he saw the people nearby gathered around him curiously, but no one dared to offend him, he also came to some conclusion. Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao would naturally not fight an unprepared battle.

Xiao Lingyao got off the carriage and smiled brightly when she saw Cheng Ansu: "Mr. Cheng, I'm here."

"Mother, you are really surprising," Cheng Ansu let out a long sigh: "Not long ago, the people in Duanyang were not determined to submit to the Kun. Why, in just half a month, the people were able to turn from excitement to wait and see?

Many people have also changed their minds.”

Although Cheng Ansu was usually neat and tidy, he would not ask questions aggressively. Today, he obviously couldn't hold his breath.

Xiao Lingyao was not in a hurry. It happened that Shen Ze'an also came over after hearing the news and hurriedly invited them in to talk. Before entering, Shen Ze'an observed for a while and saw that the people were paying great attention to Xiao Lingyao's carriage. Only then did he realize that Xiao Lingyao was the queen's wife.

Came here as a guard of honor.

Xiao Lingyao travels in the style of a queen, only wearing clothes and a crown. The profound meaning of this can be imagined.

Shen Ze'an asked someone to close the door of the academy before following him in.

Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao had an idea about Cheng Ansu. The academy was in urgent need of teachers and educated people at the time, and they also thought about recruiting Cheng Ansu over as soon as possible. After all, Shen Ze'an beside him was a member of Long Qi, but they still put it aside in the end.

Due to a strange combination of circumstances, Duanyang County has now become a part of Da Kun, and Cheng Ansu, who is among them, can no longer escape.

Entering the study, Cheng Ansu thought about how to sit down for a while, but saw Xiao Lingyao pulling her to sit together, regardless of height.

She felt a lot more at ease, and then she said, "Is there really a war?"

The movement in the past few days was greater than before. The crackling sound was as scary as the New Year's firecrackers. The ground was moving and the mountains were shaking. Many people thought it was an earthquake and hurried out of their houses. Only later did they realize that there was a war.

Regarding the existence of Da Kun, the capital city was the first to know about it, but it would take many years and months for the news to spread to the southwest, so Lin Ruzhi deliberately let the news out slowly, letting the people below know that the missing relatives and neighbors around him did not go out to work, but defected to Da Kun.

He also timely arranged for those people to come back from Dakun to visit relatives in the southwest, and told everyone everything about their life in Dakun. These people had difficulty keeping their stomachs occupied when they left. Although they did not say they were well-dressed and well-fed when they came back, they could see that

Come out looking rich.

He was well-dressed, and even though he traveled in a carriage that was not very gorgeous, he also had means of transportation. Not only that, but he also brought back many unique items that belonged to Da Kun, which were novel and advanced enough to make people curious about Da Kun.

In the past, Lin Ruzhi had not yet surrendered, so he did not dare to publicize it in such a big way. When he surrendered, the garrison was arranged. Under Lin Ruzhi's arrangement, these surrendered southwestern people dared to come back and publicize it, and it gradually became popular.

Although there were not many people who surrendered during the Dragon Boat Festival, there were many intermarriages in the southwest. Many girls married outside during the Dragon Boat Festival, and some people married girls from other places. In this dynasty where information was mainly transmitted by word of mouth, Da Kun's propaganda was done in this way.

When Cheng Ansu heard about it, he still didn't expect such a big battle. He thought it was a gentle road where the spring breeze turned into snow, but instead it was a forcible siege in the southwest, an instigation of rebellion against the southwest prefect, and a head-on confrontation with Dongyue!

Cheng Ansu's throat felt bitter and he asked in a low voice: "Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"Of course you know that. As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old house has been replaced by hundreds of owners, and it has been demolished and renovated. Didn't this country also have the surname Rong in the past? Dongyue is not Dongyue, but Daqi." Xiao Lingyao said: "Who controls the southwest?

, it’s just the strong man who speaks.”

Cheng Ansu listened to what she said, and although he knew it was wrong, he had to admit that she was right. There is no definite destiny for who is in charge of the world, but...

"Our army won a complete victory in this battle. The sergeants from the three nearby garrisons who came to support were killed or injured. Those who survived abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Qin Feng said that he must treat the prisoners well." Xiao Lingyao said: "We

And know that this is just the beginning.”

"The capital city will not watch us sit in the southwest, nor will it painstakingly come out with a big Kun for no reason. It will either keep fighting and find a balance between the two countries, just like when East Vietnam had to accept the Northern Desert.

."

"There are historical reasons why the Northern Desert can settle down and live in peace." Cheng Ansu said eagerly: "They just found an opportunity in the cracks."

"We are not in the cracks, we face the difficulties." Xiao Lingyao smiled calmly and said: "Mr. Cheng, doesn't he pay attention to the battle situation?"

Xiao Lingyao told the situation of this battle in detail, Cheng Ansu shook his head when he heard it: "Explosives, mines, artillery, I see, you have already had the means to defeat the enemy, but you are just waiting for them to collide."

"Indeed, Qin Feng and I are not radical types. We are used to taking things slowly. We must be able to hold back before making a big move. Once we take action, we are sure that there is more than 60% chance of success. Southwest, we must win

Of."

"Reason?" Cheng Ansu said: "Why are you so persistent in the southwest?"

"The land directly bordering Da Kun is the southwest. There is land and sea in the southwest. Exposure of the sea will put Da Kun's coastline in danger. Both the Nanying and East Vietnam navies will be eyeing it. We must protect the southwest sea.

For our use.”

"Once captured, the keen maritime relationship between Nanying and East Vietnam can help us. Not only do we want to seize the sea, but we also need to seize the land. The population of Dakun has increased a lot in recent years, but it is still not enough. Dakun wants to develop.

The population base must be raised."

"We have indeed attracted many people from the southwest and encouraged childbirth, but this is completely insufficient. Taking back the southwest is the fastest way. Not only can we gain the population, but we can also take over the territory and resources of the southwest."

Shen Ze'an had been listening quietly on the side, and then he said, "What about Wu An?"

"Wu'an is different from the Southwest. Wu'an is well-governed and has stronger terrain advantages than the Southwest. The people there live better than the Southwest. It is difficult for them to surrender. The Southwest is different. Their past has been too bitter."

Those who have experienced bitterness and tasted sweetness will not let go. People who have never tasted sweetness also want to try it.

Xiao Lingyao added: "In fact, reinforcements from three places were damaged today. If Dongyue wants to send troops again, it can only come from farther places. Once they come, we will have to rest and recuperate."

"Not to mention our weapons, our weapons are infinitely superior to theirs, and the disparity in physical strength between the two sides is also huge. What's more, the most powerful forces in East Vietnam are concentrated in the most sensitive places in the Central Plains, headed by Beiguan and Southeast. They can mobilize troops and
