I really don't want to be a traitor

months later.

Dachu, Pengcheng.

A piece of information was placed on Fan Li's desk in Jiangshan Pavilion.

Fan Li's face was solemn.

He knew that when the [Apotheosis of the Gods] was released, its influence would be huge, and it would even cause certain social unrest and brain drain in the five countries of the alliance.

But the reactions of Wei, Han, and Wu were still beyond his expectation.

The Three Kingdoms actually sent troops to the Ming Dynasty.

"Ugh……"

Fan Li sighed, crumpled the half-written letter into a ball, and threw it into the wastepaper basket next to the desk.

He originally wanted to write a letter to implicitly hint to Cao, Liu, and Sun that he would have a way to solve the dilemma of the Three Kingdoms not having a list of gods in the future.

Just waiting for Lu Fubao to succeed in his cultivation, he will try to build the first God-conferring Platform in Jincheng.

Once successful, Fan Li is willing to build the Conferred God Platform for the Three Kingdoms, as long as he pays enough royalties.

He also believed in Lu Fubao.

With her talent, qualifications and character, she is definitely expected to enter the Hedao realm in this life.

Even Mahayana, transcending tribulations and ascension are possible!

But the pressure brought by the List of Gods to the Three Kingdoms was obviously beyond Fan Li's expectation.

The information sent back by Fan's Trading Company from Wei, Han and Wu showed that a large number of Jianghu practitioners and folk hermits defected to the Ming Dynasty.

Even officials from various prefectures, pastoral and county guards fled.

Among them, Liu Bei's big man is the most exaggerated!
The famous Confucian Qiaozhou, known as the "Leader of Confucianism in Yizhou", actually led hundreds of disciples to defect to the Ming Dynasty.

In order to demonstrate his character, Qiao Zhou even openly refused the official offer from Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. Instead, he participated as a candidate in this year's imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty.

He went all the way and successfully passed the college examination, provincial examination, joint examination, and even the palace examination!

In the Jinluan Hall of the Ming Dynasty, Qiao Zhou wrote an article "On Qiu Guo Lun".

In the article, he not only defended his treason and surrender to the enemy, but also advocated that the Ming Dynasty had been favored by heaven and would surely dominate the world.

This article won the favor of Emperor Jiajing, who appointed Qiao Zhou as the number one scholar on the spot!
"Qiaozhou, whose courtesy name is Yunnan, was born in Langzhong, Brazil County."

"He was once a third-rank Guanglu doctor in the Han Dynasty. He is currently a bachelor's degree student at the Hanlin Academy in the Ming Dynasty and holds an official position from the fifth rank."

Fan Li shook his head helplessly.

When Ming Dynasty received the list of gods, it was indeed unparalleled for a while and became popular in the world.

People like Qiao Zhou would rather give up being a third-rank official than go to the Ming Dynasty to become a bachelor's degree student from the fifth rank.

In comparison, the 10 people abducted from the Chu, Wei, Han, and Wu kingdoms by Empress Yaoguang through the customs and preached the "Sacred Yin Xuan Jing" are really not worth mentioning.

Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, he was nothing but a blockbuster!
Fan Li put aside the information about the brain drain in the Three Kingdoms and picked up another piece of information.

To be precise, this is a battle report.

"Kongming comes out of the street pavilion."

"Guo Jia comes out of Wuhuan."

"Zhou Yu comes out of Red Cliff."

"The three men each led an army of [-], and attacked the important frontier town of Ming Dynasty in three routes from the south, north and west."

"All three armies went out and won the battle."

"Qiu Luan, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army of the Ming Dynasty, and Zeng Xian, the commander-in-chief of the three sides, were killed in battle. Hu Zongxian, the governor-general, was seriously injured and retreated, trapped in Yunzhou City."

"The three armies of Kong Ming, Guo Jia, and Zhou Yu gathered outside Yunzhou City and prepared to join forces to break the city."

Yunzhou City is an important town on the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty.

There are many plains in the Ming Dynasty. Once Yunzhou City is defeated, the Wei, Han and Wu coalition forces march straight in, and the Ming Dynasty will never have peace.

The battle report in Fan Li's hand had a paragraph at the end:

"Prince Wanli of the Ming Dynasty submitted a letter requesting orders to lead the army to defeat the enemy. With the permission of Emperor Jiajing, he was granted the title of General King of Zhenbei, commanding the entire army in the northern territory of the Ming Dynasty, with Hu Zongnan as his deputy."

Oh?
To be honest, Fan Li was not impressed by Wanli's leadership.

Although this man is destined to be emperor and has extraordinary intelligence, he may not be enough in front of the three epic military advisors Kong Ming, Guo Jia and Zhou Yu.

What he really cares about is Emperor Jiajing.

The enemies are all attacking at the door of the house, but this person is just sitting back and watching?

No.1 in the world?
It seems that absolute strength will produce absolute confidence.

In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, the 30-strong Wei, Han, and Wu coalition forces were probably nothing more than native chickens and tile-roofed dogs, and they were the whetstone for Prince Wanli.

As long as the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms does not take action, Emperor Jiajing will never leave his comfortable Jinluan Palace. …

…………

Da Chu Imperial Palace, court meeting.

"Mr. Jin, Empress Yaoguang has sent envoys to the court. I hope that Chu can also send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty together with the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu."

"What the empress means is to ask the Duke of Jin to stop toiling and lead the army in person?"

Xiang Chong said it politely, but with a gloating expression.

Marching and fighting, how hard is this life?

Empress Yaoguang's original intention was to only ask Da Chu to send troops.

As for who will command the army, Yaoguang is the compassionate empress and not the emperor of Chu. Of course, it is not convenient to name him.

Xiang Chong, on the other hand, was unwilling to suffer at all, and even hoped that Fan Li would die in battle.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to appoint Fan Li to lead the army on the expedition, and even used the name of Empress Yaoguang.

"Your Majesty, I forgive my refusal."

Fan Li refused directly without even thinking about it.

"why!?"

Xiang Chong glared, ready to reveal his domineering aura.

"My lord, I'm too lazy."

Fan Li spat out three words through his teeth, his tone revealing undisguised contempt.

He seemed to be reminding Xiang Chong: You have forgotten, who is in charge of Da Chu?
"Forehead?"

Xiang Chong was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red.

He really couldn't command Fan Li.

"Then let Fan Chun lead the army. Doesn't he command 20 garrison troops?"

"Wrong." Fan Li shook his head: "The garrison only has a strength of [-], your Majesty, please stop talking nonsense."

"Ah? I was right. There are indeed 20 garrison troops."

After Xiang Chong finished speaking, he saw Fan Li smiling.

"His Majesty."

"The imperial court distributes salaries based on the establishment of 10 people every month, so Da Chu only has [-] garrison troops."

Xiang Chong was confused: "What about the remaining [-]? Who do they count?"

Fan Li thought about it seriously before replying: "Let's just call him my private soldier."

"Laws of Chu" clearly records that if there are more than 50 privately recruited soldiers, they are guilty of conspiracy.

The Fan family has hundreds of thousands of private soldiers with no name or status. This is more than just a rebellion, it can already change the dynasty on the spot!
Xiang Chong looked at Fan Li in fear, swallowed, and selectively ignored every word he just said.

"Anyway."

"We, the great Chu, have no troops to send."

Fan Li made the final decision.

Xiang Chong was still unwilling to give in, with a tangled expression on his face.

"Don't Duke Jin know that the Three Kingdoms sent troops to defeat the Ming Dynasty in order to stabilize the hearts of all countries and make them believe that the Ming Dynasty was not destined by fate?"

"The first battle was successful, and the hearts of the three countries gradually stabilized. I heard that many practitioners who originally planned to sneak into the Ming Dynasty gave up."

"But our country, Dachu, did not participate in the war. The practitioners in this country are restless, fearing that sooner or later they will defect to the Ming Dynasty..."

Fan Li looked at Xiang Chong, then turned to look at the civil and military ministers below the imperial steps.

Indeed, people are restless.

Due to Fan's years of accumulated prestige, the courtiers still looked gentle, respectful and thrifty in front of Fan Li.

But in everyone's heart, God knows what they are thinking at this moment?
Fengshen list?
No matter how kindly Fan treated them, the ordinary material conditions could not compare with the temptation of ascending to immortality.

"If these guys all turn traitor, Da Chu will be left with nothing but an empty frame."

"How should I explain to Xiang Ning when she returns to the court in the future?"

Fan Li thought truthfully and finally changed his mind.

He glanced at Xiang Chong lightly.

"Your Majesty, I agree to send troops to conquer the Ming Dynasty."

Chapter 2 is late but arriving.
