Chapter 798 -345: Three Countries in Lingnan_3

Just like after Sima usurped Wei, with a sentence of “Fuxi Holy Dynasty ruling the world with filial piety,” it led to the embarrassment and disgrace of Western Jin.

It is important to know that before Jin, all dynasties ruled the country with loyalty and filial piety, even Cao Wei was no exception.

Yan Wangqiu, who stole the throne of the country, established the Nanhai Country just like the Western Jin, it naturally lacked a layer of moral justice, had no righteousness, and was ridiculed by the people of the world, unable to really win people’s hearts and recognition.

The political situation in the Nanhai Country was also the same.

The officials were corrupt, the governance was rotten, and the common people were not even as good as pigs and dogs.

Lacking the justice and reason of the Yan lineage, in order to maintain their rule, they had to give up a lot of interests, to win over the powerful nobles within the country who held real power, in exchange for their support.

Nowadays, the Yan family in the Nanhai Country is more like a puppet promoted by the aristocratic families, a representative in name.

On the surface, they call him the Lord of the Country, but who knows how they mock him in private!

Even the lord of the country has no proper name, and the words are not smooth.

As for those officials, nobles, and aristocratic families underneath, it’s even more out of the question.

In the entire Nanhai Country, from the monarch to the lowest-ranking officials, there is not a single one who truly regards the Nanhai Country as their own.

They all treat the entire country as a vessel for blood-sucking, desperately clinging to this vessel, sucking the blood and nutrients to strengthen themselves.

This scene is strikingly similar to when Yan Wangqiu and his men clung to the Nanhai Sect and desperately sucked blood back then.

Now the old scene is reshown, the only difference is that the Nanhai Sect has been replaced by the Nanhai Country.

The blood-sucking people have changed from the public world back then to the family world today.

I can’t help but think that when Yan Wangqiu facilitated this scene, he must have felt helpless in his heart.

With such a country and such a world where everyone is selfish, the foundation at the grassroots level has already rotted to the limit.

To destroy the Nanhai Country, Lu Yuan doesn’t even need an Inborn Grandmaster, and might only need a Forbidden Army, a mere 20,000 people, along with enticements and suppression, to directly confront a country that has problems at its root.

This country is the easiest to destroy among the three nations of Lingnan.

The reason it has survived until now is simply because Chu and Ning have been keeping each other in check, and maintaining the buffer zone between them.

At this time, Lu Yuan was ready to break the balance and begin the Eastern Expedition, intending to unify Yangzhou.

Therefore, there is no need for such a buffer zone to continue to exist.

Let this corrupt country be completely destroyed.

It is not difficult to conquer the countries of Su and Nanhai.

One is weak, and the other naturally lacks legitimacy, so their destruction is simple.

However, it is a bit difficult to defeat the last remaining Song Country in Lingnan.

Song Country was founded by Xie Ning, who came from the Coastal Aristocratic Family.

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

In accordance with the tradition of the Coastal Aristocratic Families, where they take turns to be the emperor, theoretically, Xie Ning was born with the legitimacy to claim the title of a king or emperor.

And indeed, it is true.

Faced with Xie Ning’s independence, the Heavenly Emperor of Jinling, considering Song Country’s remoteness and geographical barriers from Ning Country, finally sent a messenger to recognize the independence of Song Country and grant them an imperial title.

Therefore, in terms of legitimacy, there is no lack in Song Country’s title.

In terms of national heritage,

After a series of campaigns, and more than 20 years of recuperation, the once-broken Jiuzhen County has long since regained its vitality and begun to flourish again.

Together with the newly opened Yinsheng County, the population of the entire Song Country has reached two million, and the military has also expanded to 100,000.

These 100,000 troops are all elite soldiers of the highest national standard, fully comparable to Lu Yuan’s Chu Forbidden Army – they are truly powerful forces in the world.

In addition to these 100,000 warriors, the two counties of Yinsheng and Jiuzhen in Song Country have about 50,000 county soldiers locally, and their combat strength is not weak either, being able to fight as well.

A total of 150,000 troops, coupled with Xie Ning, the Inborn Grandmaster, Song Country has become like the former Changsha Country – a tough, thorn-covered bone, with its martial prowess at its peak.

Establishing such a small, remote Southern Barbarian country into a powerful, prosperous, and distinguished military nation, Xie Ning has fully demonstrated to the world what it means to have an aristocratic heritage and what it means to be both a scholar and a warrior.

In comparison,

Su Xuange, who also focused on expanding the army but made the entire Su Country miserable with frequent rebellions and ultimately reduced to its current broken state, can simply die of shame and apologize in shame.

Frankly speaking, even when Lu Yuan first received the comprehensive information from the Capital City’s Department on the Song Country’s foundation after considering all aspects, he couldn’t help but be startled.

Perhaps it is because Song Country has always been low-key, or perhaps it is because the location of Song Country is really too far south, at the southernmost end of the Nine Provinces, even more remote than the few Yi countries in the southwest.

As a result, news about Song Country has seldom reached the Central Plains of the Nine Provinces.

Even the neighboring countries rarely look southward with their eyes fixed on Chu Country.

Under many factors, it has led to the isolation of information in Song Country, miraculously “disappearing” in the eyes of other countries, without anyone paying attention to the special situation.

If it weren’t for Lu Yuan’s preparations for the Southern Expedition in the past two years, aiming to unify the three Lingnan countries, and making a special effort to strengthen the intelligence gathering on Su, Song, and Nanhai countries, assigning more people to spy,

Otherwise, he would have really been deceived by the quiet Song Country.

And given that Song Country has been silently accumulating such a strong army underground, being so low-key, it seems that they also have great ambitions.

A total of 150,000 troops, a fifth of the size of Chu’s army.

With such strength, it would be enough to sweep through the small countries in the south.

At this time, the reason why Song Country has not made any moves, is most likely because they are wary of Chu Country, and have been waiting silently for the right opportunity.

When faced with such a strong, patient, and scheming enemy, anyone would feel a headache.

Lu Yuan is no exception.

In this Southern Expedition, Su and Nanhai countries are both negligible.

The only one who can be considered a worthy opponent is the Song Country.

To deal with Song Country, he plans to use all his energy and all the forces he can mobilize to attack and destroy this country.

This is Lu Yuan’s greatest respect for Song Country.

You are strong, so I will double my efforts to deal with you, sparing no expense.
