Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 159: Li Fengning fled south to live in seclusion in prison, and the effects of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China continued to take effect.

In the history of war, it is very rare for a senior general to die on the battlefield.

Even in ancient battlefields, it was rare for a general to be killed in battle.

Because high-ranking generals are often equipped with a large number of personal guards, the conditions for killing them in battle are too difficult.

It is extremely rare to see a commander like Chu Shizhao who relies entirely on his "physical skills" to lead the troops. This is really a dangerous move.

However, it was Chu Shizhao's strange movement that aroused the Mongols' desire to launch a surprise attack, mainly because everyone was greedy for merit.

Chu Shizhao is a walking military achievement. Defeating him would end the Northern Expedition ahead of schedule. This would be the highest honor for any warrior.

It is impossible for the Mongols, who are already crazy in their bones, to be so excited.

Li Fengning suffered a lot in this simulation. She originally thought that Jinyang guarded by her father was unbreakable.

You have to know that the actual military force of the entire Jinyang has reached 50,000 people, and most importantly, her father has an extremely elite Li family cavalry.

The North was in chaos, and her father was able to fight his way out of such a sea of ​​blood. Both his ability and actual military strength were the basis for maintaining rule.

However, after several simulations, Li Fengning discovered that he had an innate weakness.

That is, his father's development was not predictable.

Li Jin had thought that the Great Zhou Dynasty would be in chaos and that the situation would be precarious, but he had not expected that the Great Zhou Dynasty would fall into chaos so quickly and the situation would collapse so quickly, which led to slow action.

Li Fengning could understand this point, because her father did not intend to be a traitor from the beginning. From the beginning, he was thinking about how to accumulate strength and annex other places into his own hands. Isn't that an open traitor?

But it was my father's hesitation and procrastination that gave others opportunities.

Look at Ma Su'an, he would rebel at will and stab others in the back at will, he has no loyalty or integrity at all, but he was able to make a fortune in a short period of time, while her father was not so good.

And this is not because Li Fengning encouraged Li Jin to rebel. If this continues, Jinyang will neither be able to be a loyal minister nor a rebel.

To put it bluntly, he didn't play the role of a good guy, nor did he play the role of a bad guy.

Thinking about it, my father did not want to be a traitor and betray the court. Only when the court abandoned and no longer trusted the Jinyang Li family, would my father consider raising the banner of rebellion.

However, due to the chaos of the times, the emperor's distrust, and the fact that my father was not completely loyal to the court, he was essentially accumulating strength.

This has led to many problems accumulating to this day.

This simulation directly revealed the drawback of indecision. The military force had not developed, and their Jinyang was surrounded by the Mongols and the rebels. There were also problems in the imperial court. They were fighting their own people first. How could the border troops listen to the problems of an imperial court that could not even be unified internally?

In reality, Li Fengning has only two options: completely defect or completely defect.

There is no such thing as doing treasonous things and being a loyal minister at the same time. This is a situation where you cannot please both sides, and others are not fools.

She started to propose marriage to Emperor Yongjin. On the one hand, Li Fengning had already sincerely entrusted her heart to Chu Shizhao, and with her memory of simulation deduction, it was impossible for her to abandon Chu Shizhao.

On the other hand, it is to completely jump out of loyalty to avoid any abnormal situation.

If you want to be a loyal minister, be thorough and don't do anything unnecessary. Once you have determined the core essentials, you won't have too many ideas when it comes to development.

Who the hell could have thought that things could develop in a second way.

Li Fengning wanted to use Chu Shizhao to repair the trust between the Li family and the royal family and rebuild the relationship.

Her father was a direct descendant of Emperor Zhengguang, not Emperor Yongjin. Emperor Yongjin could not confirm Li's loyalty, which was why he was a little distant from her. Li was neither valued nor neglected too much, and was left in a state of laissez-faire.

During the siege of Chang'an, Li Shiqin showed his loyalty to the court. Then he proposed marriage to Chu Shizhao, hoping to strengthen the relationship between the two sides in this way.

But he never expected that Chu Shizhao would be slandered in advance. Not only was he accused of treason, but he was also oppressed by the powerful families and his brother.

This situation put the Li family in a very awkward position. It would be wrong to help the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it would be wrong not to help the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The fact that the north has been completely lost now is largely due to the power struggle within the Zhou Dynasty.

Chu Shixu successfully seized the throne and falsely accused Chu Shizhao of treason. According to the system of collective responsibility, the Jinyang Li family was also nominally a rebel. How could I help the Great Zhou Dynasty defend Jinyang then?

It can be said that her father did not surrender to Ma Su'an on the spot, nor did he pledge allegiance to the Mongols on the spot, which was already a military ethics.

This time the Great Zhou Dynasty is doomed to fail.

Even Li Fengning got some high blood pressure after seeing this.

From her perspective, as long as the Great Zhou Dynasty does not fall into internal turmoil and power remains firmly in the hands of Chu Shizhao, Li Fengning has no idea how she will lose this simulation.

As a result, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty had no ability in foreign wars, but they were very capable in civil wars. They first started a witchcraft rebellion, and then used the power of the big families to falsely accuse Chu Shizhao of treason. After a series of operations, when Chu Shizhao was not strong enough in the court, they directly drove Chu Shizhao out.

If Chu Shizhao didn’t have a gold monarch card certified for simulation deduction, he would have probably failed in this simulation deduction.

It was unexpected that Chu Shizhao would establish the Dajing Dynasty in the south, which was something Li Fengning himself had not expected.

Li Fengning also discovered a problem. Chu Shizhao had no foundation in the court. He himself had no external relatives' power. His three elder brothers were all from the Wang family and had the protection of a big family.

This put Chu Shizhao in a very difficult situation.

Because although the Li family sided with Chu Shizhao, their main force was still in Jinyang, so they were unable to help Chu Shizhao in the first place.

Chu Shizhao's early stage was a complete collapse, and no one could really help him.

Li Fengning herself does not have much say in the Li family. After all, she is just a woman who can speak but is useless.

Her idea at that time was to fight back to Chang'an and support Chu Shizhao to be the emperor.

There aren't so many power struggles.

It's like having an intellectual disability.

The simulation tells you the answer, but you don’t know which way to go?
He led his troops back to Chang'an, supported Chu Shizhao, killed all opponents except Chu Shizhao, and beheaded anyone who opposed him. He firmly supported the policies implemented by Chu Shizhao.

Is this operation difficult?
What's the point of engaging in all these open and covert struggles and trying to win over factions every day?

It is because Li Fengning does not have much say in Jinyang that the easiest way to solve the problem cannot be effectively implemented.

Li Fengning persuaded his father to return to Chang'an and support Chu Shizhao.

But her father hesitated and did not dare to mobilize troops.

First, Li Jin was afraid of being labeled a traitor. Second, Chu Shizhao's whereabouts were unknown, so it was meaningless. Third, no matter how powerful Chang'an was, it was still the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. It was difficult to capture Chang'an quickly. Instead of wasting his strength, it was better to preserve himself temporarily.

Thinking of what his father said, Li Fengning almost laughed out of anger.

Whether they rebelled or not was not up to the Li family. When Chu Shixu succeeded in the coup, he would settle accounts with Chu Shizhao's people afterwards. Huan Sheng was dismissed from his post and became a wanted criminal. Huan Jie accepted Chu Shizhao and rebelled against the court on the spot, which showed that he knew that he would be attacked by Chu Shixu if he did so. Instead of being passive, it was better to take the initiative.

If you don't take action when your whereabouts are unknown, then you clearly have no sense of adventure.

In these simulations, Li Fengning has already seen Li Jin's biggest problem, which is that he is too cautious.

No matter what he did, he sought stability. He sought stability in fighting wars, governing the place, and even in winning people's hearts and expressing his stance.

To put it bluntly, this is about seeking stability, or to put it bluntly, it is about being indecisive.

I think this way is feasible and that way is also feasible. Since I can't do that plan, I will do this one. Later, I find that there are other opinions about the previous plan, so I implement the former plan.

Li Fengning's personality is more like a man's. She is very unhappy with her father's policy of not beating or being timid.

Do we have to deal with so many unnecessary things? Is it difficult to just deal with them directly?
In retrospect, if the Li family had started a rebellion and marched towards Chang'an, the Chang'an Massacre would not have happened, and three groups of warlords would not have successively entered Chang'an and burned, killed and looted the people of Chang'an.

As a result, Li Jin simply raised an army to support Chu Shizhao, indicating that Chu Shizhao was not such a person, and then stationed his troops in Jinyang and did not go to Chang'an.

If we can provide troops and fully support Chu Shizhao, there is a chance that we can turn the situation around.

And if they really succeeded in enthroning Chu Shizhao, he would continue to show amazing strength. This battle alone would be enough to establish the Li family's position in history books.

In history books, you refused to include a biography.

Are you willing to be forced by Chu Shixu to the point where we are all traitors? !
Li Fengning felt that he had to do something in reality, at least take over the military power of several thousand people from his father. If something like this happened again, if his father didn't help, he would.

Why not do something that requires risking one's life to gain wealth and fame?

Li Fengning is now a pure prison simulator.

The base of Jinyang was lost, and her two younger brothers were all killed by the Mongols in the chaos. Her father was devastated and after moving south, he never asked about the war again and drank day and night to drown his sorrows.

The Li family fell into a state of poverty with no military power and no political identity, and took refuge in the south of the Yangtze River.

In fact, if Li Fengning went to Chu Shizhao now, he might be able to ask for a position for his father, but Li Fengning really couldn't bring himself to do so.

When it comes to doing things, you are completely useless.

How can you be so shameless?

This simulation was the time when Li Fengning was most eager for power. If she had been able to control the military power of Jinyang at that time, the situation would not have been like this.

Chu Shizhao had such a hard time in this simulation because the Liangzhou and Jinyang factions, which should have been able to form a perfect pincer attack, failed to bring benefits to Chu Shizhao.

But when Li Fengning thought that Huan Yi was of no use, he felt relieved.

Don't be afraid of being useless, just be afraid that others are more useful than you.

Li was unable to help Chu Shizhao, and Li Fengning already felt that he was useless.

Huan was directly holding back, which made Li Fengning laugh out loud on the spot.

Huan Jie did help, but not completely. He took Chu Shizhao over but did not give him actual power, which made Chu Shizhao unable to move up or down, so he had no choice but to leave Liangzhou.

Later, he was crushed by a rebellion started by a local warlord, which triggered the second of the three massacres in Chang'an. He was more of a hindrance than a help.

It’s not that Li Fengning can’t stand seeing others doing well, it’s mainly because these people from the Huan family are too much.

It's really amazing to be able to see the tricks they come up with and not laugh.

If you don't support Chu Shizhao and make him the big brother, why did you bring him back? Are you just going to take the name of a traitor for nothing?
Since you have supported and accepted Chu Shizhao, you should share the power of Liangzhou with Chu Shizhao. Even if you lose power, it will not affect the status and influence of your Huan family in Liangzhou.

Chu Shizhao is not from Liangzhou.

No conflict of interest.

You gave Chu Shizhao power, and Chu Shizhao fought back to Chang'an. Could he make Liangzhou your capital?
Really do it.

I really don't know how Huan Yi can compete with Li Fengning with these brothers, but what Li Fengning is most worried about now is definitely not Huan Yi, the wild woman who came out halfway to cheat and snatch the position of the main wife.

Instead, every time Chu Shizhao conducts a simulation, Li Fengning will have an unknown opponent.

This time, Chu Shizhao started an uprising in the south. In order to win over the rebels, he married Jiang Youzhen, the daughter of the rebel leader.

Understandable, but still angry.

In the following simulation, the first policy that Li Fengning had to change was to seize power and set up a new business of his own under his father's care. The second policy that he had to change was to snatch people away and not give Chu Shizhao the opportunity to find another wild woman.

The negligence in the previous simulations led to this tragedy.

And soon there was another push on the screen.

[In April of the eighth year of Shengwu, Chu Shizhao defeated the Zhebie tribe and quickly gained control of Qingzhou, Lu County and other places. However, the local clans and powerful people launched resistance one after another before Chu Shizhao began to establish the system of the Dajing Dynasty.]

[Chu Shizhao suppressed the resistance of these powerful families and divided their land among the people under his rule.]

【It stabilized the people’s hearts.】

[In May of the eighth year of Shengwu, Chu Shizhao exempted Qingzhou and Lujun and other war-torn areas from taxes for one year, and once again won the support of the people.]

[In June of the eighth year of Shengwu, Chu Shizhao was able to obtain food and grass through the newly-annexed lands, which provided a buffer for the originally protracted battle line, and also enabled the transportation of food by sea.]

[In July of the eighth year of Shengwu, the Mongols suddenly attacked Sichuan and Shu. They judged that Chu Shizhao's forces were concentrated in the south, and there should not be too many troops stationed in the southwest. As long as they took the southwest, they could once again erode the areas surrounding Chu Shizhao.]

[Although Sichuan and Shu were not heavily guarded, they were still able to hold their ground thanks to their natural defenses, and the initial offensive by the Mongols was not successful.]

[However, the status of Sichuan scholars was not high during the Dajing period. Under such circumstances, they also longed for more power.]

The effects of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China continue to take effect.

This made Chu Shizhao completely unable to stop the ambitions of his officials.

If the previous simulations were of moderate difficulty, there were not so many frequent rebellions and officials' treason.

This time, everyone in the simulation is a villain.

Don't give them any chances. As long as there are enough chances and enough benefits, there will still be people who betray Chu Shizhao.

Because Chu Shizhao could not give these big families what they wanted, but the Mongols could.
