Chapter 288 Send Troops Northward
Chapter 288 Send Troops Northward
But when Nan Qi was at such a critical moment, Mo Qi showed no intention of interfering.
Because Mo Qi is also in a period of great change.
The defeat of the whole country's invasion from the south was a disastrous defeat.
It's not an exaggeration to destroy half the country.
The national war was defeated, more than 70% of the main force was killed or injured, several royal families existed in name only, it was almost called the decline of the royal family, the royal family was empty, the demon lord was seriously injured and dying...
These things are piled together, coupled with the fierce and brutal people of Moqi.
You can imagine what the situation in Northern Qi is like now.
Northern Qi is like a rolling steel roulette, the whole country is turning, easily crushing all obstacles on the way forward.
However, once the wheel is blocked and unable to rotate outward, it collapses internally.
A demon lord once said, "When Southern Qi is here, Northern Qi is here. If Southern Qi dies, Northern Qi will fall."
This means that if one day Northern Qi annihilates Southern Qi, Northern Qi, which loses the war to resolve its internal conflicts, will self-destruct due to internal conflicts.
However, he never imagined that one day Northern Qi would be in the situation of internal destruction because Southern Qi hung up Northern Qi and beat it, rather than Northern Qi accidentally destroying Southern Qi.
The foundation of the country Moqi is built on war. If it loses the war or loses the war, it has almost no resilience and the country will be paralyzed.
Mo Qi is now in complete chaos. Those at the bottom want to climb up, and those at the top want to stabilize themselves. Naturally, it is impossible to cause trouble for Nan Qi.
What's more... when God General Tiance succeeded to the throne of Qi, seven thousand Tiance troops smashed their heads.
Now that hundreds of thousands of troops across the country are at their wits end, how can they dare to cross the border?
…
After succeeding as Emperor Qi, Li Guanting had no intention of using force against Northern Qi for the time being.
Although the morale of the people of Southern Qi was unprecedentedly high, it was necessary to recuperate after a big battle.
The most important thing is that centipede insects are dead but not stiff.
Northern Qi is in chaos now, so let it slowly become chaotic internally.
If the Southern Qi sent troops to the north and the Northern Qi was worried about being destroyed, it might actually arouse their sense of survival.
It would be bad if the external threats of Southern Qi create a "united will" and "shared hatred".
Therefore, it is better not to use troops than to use them indiscriminately. It seems unnecessary, but in fact it is more effective than using troops.
Of course, not using troops does not mean that there is no pressure on Northern Qi at all.
In the past, Northern Qi used Southern Qi to train its troops. They liked to go to Nan Qi's city gates and make noise in order to strengthen their own momentum and suppress Southern Qi. Southern Qi had a natural fear of Northern Qi.
Now, it was the turn of the Southern Qi army to walk around the Northern Qi city gates if they had nothing to do, and attack the city if they had nothing to do.
The royal family in charge of the city gate in the Northern Qi Dynasty were often frightened out of their minds, fearing that the gate would be broken down if they were not careful.
In the end, even the civil strife gave rise to a sneaky feeling, and there was no way to live in peace.
In this regard, Chen Ming has a strong say.
During the Daqian Dynasty, it was difficult because of the Northern Demon in the north, the rebellion of princes inside, and internal strife.
Now Northern Qi is facing a similar situation.
Five years after Li Guanting ascended the throne, the civil strife in Northern Qi not only continued, but intensified.
The Demon Lord has not been seen for more than three years, and some people even speculated that he was too seriously injured and died accidentally.
Just as the Northern Qi Dynasty was becoming more and more chaotic, the Southern Qi Dynasty was prospering due to the prosperity of the dynasty. The weather was good and the weather was good year after year. The country was recovering and recuperating, and its national strength was rapidly growing.
So, Li Guanting ordered to move the capital!
Move north!
The capital was moved to Cangwu City, the largest city in Huizhou behind Zijingguan, the gate of Southern Qi.
If the national gate is breached, the imperial city will be the first town to guard the front, facing Northern Qi!
Many ministers advised that even if they move north to boost the world, there is no need to move so far north!
Wouldn’t it be better to move to Yongqing City in the center of Huizhou?
However, Li Guanting retorted that if he did not have a sense of life and death at all times, slacking off would only last for a moment.
So when can we go all the way north and regain Daqi?
Many ministers then looked eagerly at Li Yuanqing, King Yuan! Now only you can persuade His Majesty!
Li Yuanqing spread his hands: So many of you can't persuade me, how can I persuade you?
Besides, when has His Majesty ever made a mistake?
We are the ministers of the human world, and he is the emperor who was born.
Rather than looking ahead and looking behind, it's better to follow the lead.
So everyone made a concerted effort to move the capital to Cangwu.
Today's move to the north is completely different from the original move of Emperor Qi to the south.
I wonder what the Supreme Emperor in Ding'an City in the south thought when he heard the news?
After moving north, Li Guanting still did not launch troops to attack Northern Qi.
The reason is that Northern Qi is still in civil strife, and the chaos is getting bigger and bigger.
Back in Moqi, the two brother clans, the Blood Demon Clan and the Flame Demon Clan, were already strong, and after joining forces, they became the number one royal clan.
Now that the Blood Demon Clan has been exterminated, the Fire Demon Clan is also in decline.
The mediocre Heavenly Demon Clan is considered a short general, but after other royal families were destroyed one after another, it became the number one royal family and is now wrestling with the Northern Qi royal family.
Therefore, under the arrangement of Li Yuanqing, Nan Qi planted many traitors in Mo Qi and started fighting crazily, fearing that the fight would not be chaotic enough.
Li Guanting, on the other hand, went to Longxuntian.
Ever since he reached the point where Nine Dragons were united, his cultivation has been difficult to improve.
But this is not because his talent has reached its limit, but because it has reached the upper limit of the era.
Invincible in the true sense of the word.
Even if there is an "enemy from heaven" after being "invincible in the world", I am afraid it will be difficult to be his enemy in the environment of this era.
But the highest level of the "Nine Dragons Return to One Heart Sutra" is quite magical. In addition to the requirements for one's own cultivation and dragon veins, it even requires the world to return to its heart.
This made Li Guanting realize that maybe he could go further on this path by touring the world.
It happened that Northern Qi was still in chaos, and there was no need for him to personally guard the dynasty.
Then he took over as the treasurer, and Li Yuanqing, the king of Yuan Dynasty, became the regent.
Li Guanting then went to patrol the world.
Many ministers find it inconceivable, Your Majesty, you can still play like this?
I wanted to remonstrate, but then I thought about it. Your Majesty is a deity descended from the Immortal Court. Even if he does this, it will not affect state affairs.
Then the ministers had nothing to say.
After five years of long patrol, Li Guanting just returned.
He seemed to have broken through the shackles of any era and made further progress.
