I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

why?

Because the compass was invented!

With the efforts of the Southern Dynasty craftsmen, combined with the key information previously revealed by the system, the craftsmen quickly began various tests.

First, they dug out sand from deeper in the desert, buried an iron needle in it, and rubbed it continuously to make the iron needle adhere to magnetism, and then tested the direction.

After repeating this process over and over again, the craftsmen gradually figured out some tricks, and thus the compass was created with great ease. The birth of the compass caught Emperor Nanzhao off guard.

Originally, Emperor Nanzhao had hurriedly sent an envoy, who brought a large amount of compensation and arrived at the oasis in a low voice. He was prepared to apologize in a gentle voice and wanted to just brush aside the kidnapping of the peasant woman. As for what Zhao Taiyang had done, he directly denied it.

However, the day before, the Nanzhao envoys shamelessly apologized to the Southern Dynasty envoys in the oasis, and the Southern Dynasty envoys even agreed on the surface, as if they could accept it. But the next day, the Nanzhao envoys were driven out of the oasis, along with all the compensation they brought.

Messenger Nanzhao looked at himself standing on the edge of the desert and the oasis with a look of confusion on his face, but he could no longer take another step towards the oasis. What a joke, people are pointing spears at his throat, who dares to take another step forward!

Therefore, the Nanzhao envoy could only return to the capital in disgrace to report to the emperor.

Emperor Nanzhao watched with great anticipation as his envoy excitedly set off, and then watched in silence as his envoy returned covered in dust, taking with him the compensation without a penny.

This made Emperor Nanzhao panic. What on earth did this Southern Dynasty mean?

Didn't they send Nanzhao's envoy to the oasis specially before? Wasn't it just to negotiate terms with them?

How come we were discussing everything fine the day before, but just threw the person out the next day?

Besides, that oasis belonged to Nanzhao. How come it has become part of the Southern Dynasty now?

Emperor Nanzhao couldn't figure it out, and he became even more panicked. He could only send people to keep a close eye on the oasis and report any disturbance in a timely manner so that they could respond in time.

At the same time, Emperor Nanzhao also ordered all the troops in the country to begin to assemble quietly.

However, before his own army had assembled, Emperor Nanzhao had already seen various actions taken by the Southern Dynasty army, which were the "whys" mentioned above...

As a result, Emperor Nanzhao fell into endless panic, and this panic lasted for a whole month.

When he came to his senses again, the Southern Dynasty's supply channel in the desert had already been established to the border town of Nanzhao.

Emperor Nanzhao was so angry. Were the people in the Southern Dynasty crazy about infrastructure? It had only been a month, and they had already built it right in front of their house! What else could they do?

Once this supply channel is completed, it means that the Southern Dynasty can attack Nanzhao at any time!

Don't mention that he didn't stop them as the Emperor of Nanzhao. They couldn't see anyone during the day! He went to stop them quietly at night, but no one said a word. Why didn't they say a word? Because no one came back...

My goodness, those people from the Southern Dynasty are working day and night, right? Their people just walked into the gunpoint when they went there, right?

How can we stop this? Who can stop it? Do we want them to go directly with the army? Maybe the Southern Dynasty is waiting for them to take the initiative to attack, so that they will have a perfect reason to send troops!

But Emperor Nanzhao never imagined that in just one month, the other person would arrive right at his doorstep.

How to do this?

You want to negotiate, but they won’t negotiate with you at all. They will just throw the envoy out!

Fight, fight! They didn't say they wanted to fight you, but they just built a supply channel directly to your doorstep! They're telling you that it's up to them to decide whether to fight or not!

Emperor Nanzhao had a really hard time during this month, and even lost a lot of hair. Until the Southern Dynasty army arrived directly at his doorstep, Emperor Nanzhao finally let out a sigh of relief.

Therefore, Emperor Nanzhao could not help but have an absurd idea in his mind: What if he just raised the white flag and surrendered? Maybe he could even save his life!

After all, if it really came to a real fight, which country could defeat the Southern Dynasty? Otherwise, who would resort to such tricks? Isn't it because everyone has a deep self-awareness?

Just when the whole country of Nanzhao was shrouded in panic, news of the Southern Dynasty's advanced water trucks came in quickly.

This news made the people of Nanzhao very excited. If there really was such a magical tool, wouldn't it mean that they could also grow ordinary crops? !

Although they cannot work during the day, they can dig the ground at night. If they have this advanced water truck, they no longer have to risk being exposed to the sun and watering before sunrise!

It also saves a lot of time for farm work! With this extra time, can't they reclaim a few more acres of land?

This idea kept circling in the minds of the people of Nanzhao. It could not be shaken off and became more and more intense.

Anyway, the Southern Dynasty's army is now at the gates of the city. Instead of waiting for them to really attack, why not just surrender to the Southern Dynasty directly?

Moreover, they, the common people, can live in any country, not to mention the years they have followed the Nanzhao royal family. They have suffered a lot of hard times, worn a lot of ragged clothes, and been promised a lot of big promises, but the result is that their lives are getting harder and harder. Only the Nanzhao royal family can have enough food and warm clothes!

If they followed the Southern Dynasty, at least there would be advanced water trucks that could give them more opportunities to survive.

So, at first, the people in the border town of Nanzhao, who were closest to the Southern Dynasty's army, began to raise white flags and defect to the Southern Dynasty. Later, the whole of Nanzhao began to defect, which directly led to the Emperor of Nanzhao waking up to find that his capital had become a deserted city, and even there were only a few palace servants left in the palace.

Emperor Nanzhao breathed a sigh of relief, quietly took out the white flag he had prepared for a long time from under his pillow, rode his beloved little white horse, and silently headed towards the border town.

Well, a man who knows the times is a wise man...

Mighty General: I really didn't expect that just by inventing the compass and using its miraculous effect to build a supply channel day and night, Nanzhao was scared into this state!

Victory came a little too easily... the mighty general thought as he munched on a roujiamo.

The cook at the side wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the roujiamo in the hand of the mighty general (the tall figure bushi), and couldn't help but complain in his heart: The general is such a big eater, how many roujiamo has he had today?

Ever since the meat buns were introduced from the capital, the mighty general fell in love with them and had to prepare several baskets of noodles every day...

Just kneading the dough was enough to tire him out...
