Daliang Imperial Capital.

Zhu Wen stood by the window with his hands behind his back, and three generals stood with their hands hanging down behind him.

"Where is that person now?"

"Return to my Lord, the man entered the southwest wilderness three months ago and disappeared without any news coming back to Yuzhou City."

"What are the actions of those sects in the world?"

"Return to my master, Li Cunxiao of Tongwen Pavilion appeared in Yuzhou City half a month ago. After staying for a few days, he entered Cangliang Mountain with a woman and then disappeared. Huanyin Pavilion did not move, and there was some movement in the Zangbing Valley, but the specific details were unclear. However, Chen Luoyun, the lord of Lingtian Pavilion, also brought people to appear several times. Looking at the direction, he should also go to the southwest wilderness."

Zhu Wen's face was gloomy, and the fists in the sleeves were slowly clenched, and then slowly loosened.

"How is Wang Yanzhang's injury?"

"When I go back to my lord, General Wang is still sick at home and has never attended court."

Zhu Wen sighed lightly and said nothing for a long time.

The three generals stood there, not even daring to show off their anger.

After a long time, Zhu Wen spoke slowly:

"You can retreat first."

"I'm going to leave."

The three of them were as if they were amnesty, and after bowing down, they quickly retreated.

They all knew Zhu Wen's character, and even before coming, they had already explained their "last words" to their home, worried that the head on their necks would probably not be able to be saved.

Since Long Chengyan brought Yuzhou City to Qiankun Hall, Zhu Wen's temperament has changed a lot, and the habit of killing people at any time seems to have disappeared.

Zhu Wen was debauchery, but he was not a foolish person, otherwise he would not have been able to conquer the great Liang Dynasty.

When he is firmly in the country, he can naturally act as he pleases, be lewd and kill people at will.

But now it's not possible.

His son did not have such a method as he did. If he was to govern a peaceful and prosperous era, he would be able to do so, but he would not be able to defend his territory and open up his territory.

Moreover, the enemy I have to face now is Long Chengyan, known as the "wise coach".

Originally, a Yuzhou city was indeed not worth worrying. No matter how powerful Long Chengyan was, it was not enough to fight against Daliang just by relying on the "Waring Sky Army" of 2,000 people.

From ancient times to the present, fighting wars has been making money, and Long Chengyan has never been able to save savings over the years. Without the military expenditure given by Zhu Wen, he could not even support the original defenders in Yuzhou City. How can he provide the supply of the War Heaven Army?

But all this was broken by the one named Liu Wei.

Zhu Wen couldn't know about Long Chengyan's recruitment of soldiers and expanding his army in Yuzhou City.

In just less than three months, the army in Yuzhou City had exceeded 15,000, and it was not counted as two thousand war heavenly troops.

As for the original old, weak and disabled soldiers, they were all dismissed by Long Chengyan and expelled from Yuzhou City.

Zhu Wen knew very well that with Long Chengyan's ability, these 5,000 people could grow into a tiger and wolf army that could be ten in just three or five months.

Wang Yanzhang has been ill and has not come out of trouble, which makes Zhu Wen very dissatisfied. He thinks he is using excuse to avoid it and dare not or want to go into battle.

If he loses his composure and does not continue to develop, even if Long Chengyan has 20,000 people in his hands, Zhu Wen will not be afraid at all.

However, now Liu Wei has gone to the southwest wilderness.

What did he do there?

What if we join forces with the barbarians to invade Daliang?

Zhu Wen has no way to feel at ease in this regard, and must be careful.

If you really want to retake Yuzhou now, it is not completely impossible. Even if you use a large number of people, you can retake Yuzhou City.

However, what Zhu Wen wants is not a dead city, nor a pile of rubble.

Moreover, he did not want to kill Long Chengyan, but planned to continue to use this person.

Because he has not yet found someone who can replace Long Chengyan, and everything he has done before is just to control him.

If you really want to kill him, Zhu Wen can do it at any time.

Liu Wei knew better than Zhu Wen in the fact that a Yuzhou city was simply unstable. In order to have stronger power in the shortest time, he had to take multiple measures!

There are eight barbarians of all sizes around the Guyue clan. Liu Wei asked Zariji to take people to "persuade" them one by one. If they are willing to form an alliance with the Guyue clan, they can "share" all resources with the Guyue clan. In most cases, they can still decide on the things in the clan independently. Only when the war occurs will they need to obey arrangements and dispatch.

Of course, this time it was "persuasion", so even if they refused, nothing would happen.

But it is impossible to guarantee whether there will be any problems in the future.

In the entire southwest wilderness, the Qiongqi tribe is one of the best combat powers. If it really fights, it is not impossible to unify the wilderness.

However, the previous tribe leaders of the Qiongqi clan did not seem to think about this at all. As long as others don’t mess with them, they generally won’t use force.

Unless the opponent has something they really want, they will attract their attack.

Therefore, although the Qiongqi tribe is strong in combat, it lacks ambition and has no clear goals and directions.

Liu Wei did think about unifying the entire southwest wilderness through conquest, but he was soon denied by himself.

Under the current situation, if you want to complete unification through force, the first thing is that it takes too long and he does not have enough time.

Because while he was doing something, Zhu Wen from Daliang naturally would not be idle, and was waiting honestly for him to take people back.

Secondly, these barbarians will not surrender when they cannot fight like the Central Plains. Moreover, even if one side wants to surrender, the other side will not agree, and there will be extermination of clans at any time.

Zhu Wen didn't want a ruined Yuzhou City, and Liu Wei didn't want an empty and continuous mountain.

Therefore, "alliance" is the best choice.

However, alliances are attributed to alliances, and the primary and secondary relationships must be distinguished; and this alliance is not based on fairness, but a combination of temptation of interests and deterrence of force.

Based on this basis, the degree of fragility can be imagined.

Therefore, alliance is actually just a temporary solution. After completing the alliance, the next plan is to clean up a group of patriarchs and main characters with "ideas" and give others a warning to them, and further consolidate the solidity of this "alliance".

As for how to develop in the future, we need to see the timing.

The closest to the Guyue Clan is the Canglang Clan. The clan has only about three or four thousand people. It has a strong combat power and has always been able to be in peace with the Guyue Clan. The fundamental reason is that the Guyue Clan has a weapon that can fire all kinds of arrows, and it may have been swallowed by the Canglang Clan long ago.

There was no surprise at all. Zariji was not good at getting off the battlefield. The first one of the Canglang clan rejected Liu Wei's alliance proposal and had a very tough attitude.

I have to say that although Zariji is simple-minded, he respects Liu Wei very much; although Liu Wei accepted his disciple in a confused manner and did not teach him anything, he obeyed Liu Wei's words.
