Chapter 2056 Attack, attack, attack!
Mou State helped He Xiao repel the invasion of Ya State, which was "favor"; Mou State helped Lu Qinglin take back the Yangshan Islands, which was "power".
Only by combining kindness and severity can a great power demonstrate its skill.
In this way, He Xiao realized that he was still very immature in front of the big country. In addition, the westward sea trade route was controlled by Mou State. In the future, he must recognize his position and be a good follower of Mou State.
So what if we are all from the Lingshan faction? The internal rankings must be determined one, two, and three, and people will be seated according to their strength.
Now everyone can see clearly that the trend of the Golden Plains being unified is unstoppable, and the next "Golden Empire" is likely to appear soon. At this juncture, it is necessary for the Mou Kingdom to show its power.
But Guo Shaoping never expected that He Xiao had already laid an ambush in the Yangshan Islands!
As long as the Mou State does not covet the Yangshan Islands, Chiyan will not raise its flag so quickly.
He Xiao's counterattack was swift and fierce, turning the situation around in an instant. He didn't look like a political novice at all.
Now, the ball is kicked back to Mou State.
He Xiao and King Chiyan were probably waiting for Emperor Mou's reaction.
Emperor Mou usually sat on the throne, silent. Now he just changed his posture, holding his forehead with his other hand.
The debate stopped for a long time before he spoke:
"No troops will be sent."
The voice echoed in the hall, majestic and deep.
With just one word, the decision was made, and the ministers below did not dare to say anything more.
Emperor Mou personally decided that the matter should come to a temporary end and not be allowed to escalate further.
In this recent series of events:
It was almost certain that Bega had lost his secret influence over the Golden Plains, but on the surface he had gained the Yangshan Islands.
The State of Mou obtained eight hundred dragon pillars, but because of its rash dispatch of troops to Yangshan, the security of its rear was threatened and challenged;
The Ya State sent troops to invade the Dragon God's territory, but did not gain any advantage and withdrew due to threats from the Mou State.
The Great Emperor Jiuyou gave the Yangshan Islands to the Chiyan Kingdom, thus preserving the important sea route between the Shanjin Plain and the west, but severely tricked the Mou Kingdom. The Mou Kingdom certainly remembered this loss, and Emperor Mou also had a better understanding of He Xiao's methods.
It will be a greater challenge for He Xiao to maintain the relationship between the two parties in the future.

The world-renowned Dragon God War has begun again.
This time, it blew across the border of Yao Kingdom together with the summer wind.
The three armies attacked simultaneously from the north, south and southeast, specifically targeting the important towns of Yao State and strongly suppressing the Yao troops in various places.
Afterwards, He Lingchuan personally led an army of 200,000 to advance into Yaojing from west to east, all the way to Tianshui City.
They rarely stopped and killed anyone who blocked their way.
The army led by the Dragon God will never look back, and there will be other Dragon God troops to take care of them along the way.
How can I describe these battles? It was like using a butcher's knife to cut through old cowhide, tiring and laborious. Although it was not easy, we were able to push forward steadily.
The quality and ability of Yao's army are far beyond the reach of the local warlords in the Shining Gold Plains. Especially after experiencing more than a year of civil strife, the knives sharpened by their own people are particularly sharp.
Without the hard training over the past four months, the Dragon God Army would not have been able to tackle such a tough challenge.
However, the civil strife in the early period caused great damage to the Yao State, with generals killed one after another, elite soldiers killed and wounded in large numbers, insufficient food and logistics, etc. Many cities had not even had time to repair the gates that were breached during the civil strife.
The most terrifying thing is that people’s hearts are scattered.
In the past, the strength of the Yao Kingdom was the best among the Shanjin Kingdom. The Yao people were proud of their country and looked down on the Shanjin Kingdom, but at the same time they also stuck together to face the outside world, and even sneered at the Jiuyou Emperor and the Dragon God.
Now, with a country falling apart and a shattered home, how much centripetal force can be sustained?
Although Bai Tan was forced to issue a notice to reassure the people after he killed the king, claiming that he still wanted to uphold the order of Dayao, anyone with a little bit of common sense would understand that this was a complete scam.
The big Yao has died long ago.
From the moment Bai Tan massacred all the royal descendants of Yao State, from the moment Bai Tan sent troops to suppress the resistance forces in various places, Yao State had in fact perished!
The country is no longer a country, so who will the people of Yao fight for?
Bai Tan? Does he deserve it?
This was reflected in the Dragon God War, where the military and civilians in various parts of Yao State had weak will and strength to resist. There were even a few miscellaneous armies that Bai Tan called "bandits" and hid in the mountains, and they voluntarily defected to the Dragon God Army and acted as guides.
Some of Bai Tan's trusted generals did actively resist. One of them defended Yu'an City for only five days, but he could not hold it anymore. He was assassinated by his subordinates and the city and his head were presented to Tao Ran.
The main force of the Dragon God, led by He Lingchuan himself, was unstoppable along the way.
Dong Rui, Wanqi Feng and others who followed him only then realized that everything he did in Yao Country in the past was for today's layout!
He cleverly took advantage of the situation and pushed the conflict between Yao Kingdom and the gods to an irreconcilable level. With the help of the power of the gods and Qingyang, he broke open the hard shell of Yao Kingdom and disturbed the people's hearts.
Today's Dragon God Army is qualified to ride into this once most powerful country of Shining Gold and pierce its soft heart with sharp swords and spears!
Once again, the Dragon God Army flooded the former territory of Yao Kingdom like a torrent, just as they swept across the Shining Gold Plains a few months ago.
Unstoppable.
Bai Tan also led his troops into battle, but he received a flood of battle reports every day, all of which were bad news from various places.
Another city has fallen, another troop has been sacrificed, or worse than sacrificed, they have surrendered!
There is not enough food, not enough weapons, and not enough military supplies.
Bai Tan simply gave up the outskirts of Yao State and built the core five-city alliance with Tianshui City as the center.
These five cities support each other, with strong fortifications and sufficient food. The defenders are all Bai Tan's direct troops, who share his prosperity and adversity, so their will to fight is very firm.
This was also the key area for Baitan's early military training and city building.
Qingyang had designed this plan for him a long time ago. He thought the war would last for a long time, but he didn't expect that this plan would be implemented in the blink of an eye!
The Dragon God Army's series of battles surrounding the five cities began.
The intensity of the war was the highest in the past three hundred years.
The remaining nobles of Yao State basically retreated here, knowing that they and the city would suffer together, so the five cities fought hard to resist.
But they also felt their opponents' firm and terrifying fighting will in the Dragon God War.
The Dragon God Army's tenacity, ferocity, determination, and even strict discipline do not seem like a newly trained army at all.
The war entered its seventeenth day, and Wanfeng City was the first to be breached, resulting in a major gap in the Five Cities Alliance's front.
On the twenty-sixth day, the second city was captured.
On the thirty-ninth day, Bai Tan prayed for God to descend, but it was powerless and the third city was captured.
With only the last two cities left, the speed of destruction is rapid.
Mangzhou only held out for three more days before the city gate was breached because the bronze array plates behind the gate could not hold up.
This ancient city lived in peace for sixty years, but was eventually engulfed in war.
