The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 324 Southwest Alliance
Only then did King Liang try to resist, but I realized it was too late.

In order to gain more advantages in the fight against the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to bring the chieftain tribes in the southwest and even more land in the southwest under his jurisdiction. First, he tried to negotiate with these chieftains, but they ignored him. Each chieftain had his own land and didn't care about these things. In a fit of anger, he prepared to send troops to wipe them all out, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping on the way.

The little bit of energy he had managed to recover was immediately depleted, which almost caused him to collapse. So from then on, he never dared to wage war against the Ming Dynasty again.

Now, Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping has once again increased the number of troops.

This startled him. If the Ming Dynasty attacked him at this time, he would surely lose.

Thinking of this place, he realized he couldn't continue like this. In any case, he needed to find some allies to help him. At this moment, he turned his gaze further south to the countries to his south.

Although there are many countries to his south, most of them do not have a good relationship with him.

However, with the Ming Dynasty growing stronger, he could only do his best to repair relations with them. At this moment, the first countries he thought of were Da Yue and Lu Chuan.

The strength of Da Yue and Lu Chuan is extremely formidable, and they were previously the focus of contention between the Yuan Dynasty and the various countries in the southeast.

It is precisely for this reason that wars have been constant between the two sides, and the enmity between them runs deep.

Upon arriving at this place, he disregarded everything else and immediately dispatched envoys to both locations.

The King of Luchuan and the King of Dayue were both extremely curious when they learned that King Liang had secretly asked Zalawaer to join them.

It's worth noting that King Liang's relationship with Zalawaermi has never been good, and he has frequently sent troops to attack them in the past. Now that he has come to form an alliance with them, it makes them very curious.

The envoy from Da Yue asked in bewilderment when he saw that the King of Liang had brought the envoy from Zalawaermi to this place.

"I never expected His Highness Prince Liang to form an alliance with our Great Yue. I wonder what made His Highness the King of Hell suddenly change his mind?"

After all, at this moment, the envoy of the King of Liang said awkwardly.

“Our Prince Liang originally did not wish to make enemies of other countries, but we had no choice but to obey the orders of the Yuan Emperor. In recent years, as the Ming Dynasty has grown stronger, it now has the ambition to destroy other countries. Therefore, my Prince Liang wants to unite with China to deal with the Ming Dynasty together!”

Upon hearing this, the King of Da Yue frowned. Compared to the King of Liang, he was most worried about the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was growing stronger and stronger, and every time the Central Plains dynasties rose to power, they would completely destroy them. He valued his current position very much, and if the Ming Dynasty were to do such a thing, he was afraid he might not be able to resist it.

Upon arriving at this place, he frowned.

"The Great Ming Dynasty is a celestial empire, a nation of propriety and courtesy. It shouldn't do such a thing!"

At this moment, the envoy of the King of Liang said with a disdainful expression.

"Korea and Japan once shared similar ideas, but they no longer exist!"

"The reason why the Ming Dynasty didn't have any designs on the southern countries before was because there were many tribes in the north that were holding them back. This resulted in most of the Ming Dynasty's elite troops being stationed in the north. But now it's different. The northern tribes have been almost wiped out. Now the Ming army doesn't have to worry about that at all. If this continues, I'm afraid the Ming army will wipe out all the southern countries!" The King of Da Yue was extremely angry when he heard this.

"This is outrageous! My Great Yue is a powerful nation. How could we be no match for the Great Ming? If the Great Ming army dares to attack us, then don't blame me for being impolite. I will wipe them all out!"

No one took what this person said seriously. If he really had such abilities, he wouldn't be unable to deal with even a King of Liang.

Now that the Prince of Liang cannot defeat Xiping, it means that Da Yue will definitely not be a match for the Ming army.

"I believe that with the might of the King of Dai Viet, he could defeat the army of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty has a large population and a million-strong army. Even if we can defeat them temporarily, can we defeat them forever? The Ming Dynasty has a large army. Perhaps they can send out even more troops. We can defeat 100,000, but what about 200,000, 500,000, or 800,000?"

"During the Han Dynasty, there was a powerful state on the grasslands called the Xiongnu. At that time, the Xiongnu were extremely powerful. Even the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains was no match for them at first. However, after the Han Dynasty awakened, it began to launch continuous attacks on them!"

"In the end, they were beaten so badly they were covered in dust and had no chance to fight back!"

"Although the Yue Kingdom is powerful, its future may very well end up like this!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Da Yue felt a chill run down his spine. Indeed, compared to the Central Plains dynasties, their strength was far too weak. Even if they were lucky enough to win one or two battles, they would inevitably be defeated in the long run.

After thinking of this place, he took a deep breath.

"But besides that, do we have any other way? The Ming Dynasty is so powerful that we simply cannot deal with it!"

At this moment, the King of Liang's envoy said with a smile.

"That is indeed the case. With the strength of our family alone, we are no match for them. But what if we unite the strength of all our countries? With His Highness King Liang's troops in front, plus the troops of Dai Viet and Lu Chuan, we can even continue south to unite with Nan Zhang, or even the Khmer Empire!"

"Once our nations unite, even if the Ming Dynasty is powerful, it will be impossible for it to fight against so many of our nations at the same time!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Dai Viet's expression softened considerably, and they decided to unite.

Compared to the smooth progress on the Dayue side, things didn't go so smoothly on the Luchuan side.

Although Luchuan was also a focal point of their struggle, this place did not border the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and its rugged mountainous terrain meant that they had no reason to fear an attack from the Ming army. Therefore, they directly rejected the offer.

Upon learning that they had been rejected, King Liang was furious with Zalawarmi.

"These damned guys actually rejected our good intentions outright!"
