Chapter 21: Forming an alliance with the Shengxing Dynasty
"How do you want to save the Heavenly Machine Star?" Calling him back to China with a golden order is for the sake of the Heavenly Machine Star, if the Machine Star is taken away by Ning Guo today, Emperor Jinglie is also in a hurry, so at this moment, he has no intention of investigating when he knew that Chi Xiaoman is Heavenly Machine Star, he said that he only learned a few days ago, that was a few days ago!
"Simply sending an envoy to Ning Guo to negotiate is bound to fail, if you want to secretly bring back the Heavenly Machine Star, Ning Guo must also take precautions. For the sake of today's plan, I am afraid that only by sending troops to attack Ning Guo can we recapture the Heavenly Machine Star!" Wei Chimu said.
Emperor Jinglie shook his head and said: "Although Ning is the weakest among the three kingdoms, the national strength and military strength are the weakest, but the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if the machine star is in their hands today, if the heavenly machine star is willing to give them advice......
Speaking of this, Emperor Jinglie suddenly paused, stared at Yu Chi Mu like an eagle, and said, "Mu'er, you have been with Tianji Star the longest, is she really as the national teacher said, has the ability to influence the Three Kingdoms?"
After the national teacher asserted that Tianji Star was not dead, he once said: "Tianji Star is the star of the ministers, and it should assist the emperor to achieve great causes." ”
But Emperor Jinglie had never seen Tianji Xing, and he had always been suspicious of this in his heart, especially after learning that Tianji Xing was a woman, he was even more suspicious. How can a mere woman influence the Three Kingdoms?
"Father, the sons only know that Xiaoman is indeed quite smart, and in the decision of some things, the sons are not even as good as her. As for influencing the Three Kingdoms......" Wei Chi Mu pursed the corners of his lips slightly, "Aren't the Three Kingdoms being influenced by her now? ”
That's a good point. Emperor Jinglie nodded. No matter which country the Heavenly Machine Star is in, the other two countries will inevitably want to seize it, so I really don't know if the Heavenly Machine is a good heart or a disaster star. But the achievement of the emperor's hegemony is too attractive, presumably the emperors of the other two countries also want to get the Heavenly Machine Star for this!
The unification of the three kingdoms was the wish of the emperors of Yasukuni in the past, but it was limited by geographical location and national strength, and it has never been realized.
Yasukuni is the northernmost place among the three kingdoms, only bordering the Shengxing Dynasty, but the Shengxing Dynasty has the largest territory and the richest territory, although the troops are only slightly stronger than the infantry, and the cavalry is very weak, but because of the large number of infantry, coupled with the abundance of materials, it is quite difficult to conquer, and the long-term war of resistance is not conducive to Yasukuni, after all, although the cavalry of Yasukuni is strong, but the materials are not as sufficient as the Shengxing Dynasty, and it is impossible to support military supplies for a long time, otherwise it will affect the people's livelihood.
Therefore, for nearly 100 years, the two countries have been at peace with each other. However, there was a military confrontation between the two countries a hundred years ago, but in the end both sides were defeated, and it ended in the conclusion of a treaty between the two emperors during their reigns that agreed not to interfere with each other, which is also the reason why the later emperors of the Yasukuni and Shengxing dynasties did not want to go to war again, and preferred to be at peace with each other.
"Father, the sons thought that it was impossible for Tianji Star to help Ning Guo, not to mention that Xiao Man and his sons were in love, and they would never help Ning Guo and not help their sons. It is said that if you want to attack Ningguo, it is necessary to take the Shengxing Dynasty, and it is inevitable that the Shengxing Dynasty will attack when our dynasty is attacking Ningguo, and Erchen thinks that it should be allied with the Shengxing Dynasty, and once the Shengxing Dynasty joins the war, Xiaoman will be even more unlikely to help Ningguo, because in any case, the Shengxing Dynasty is her mother country, how can she help an unrelated country to attack her home country?" He knew that although Xiao Man hated the queen of the Shengxing Dynasty, he seemed to be quite close to the crown prince Xuanyuan Yu, and the future Shengxing Dynasty was her prince's brother's, and she could not be an enemy of the Shengxing Dynasty.
"What you said is not unreasonable, but combined with the Shengxing Dynasty, the benefits of the Ning Kingdom to our dynasty are quite small, and it will only be a cheap Shengxing Dynasty at that time. Emperor Jinglie said thoughtfully.
Yasukuni does not border Ningguo, and even if Ningguo divides the land of Ningguo with the Shengxing Dynasty after the fall of Ningguo, it is undoubtedly asking for trouble to manage the land of another country, so forming an alliance with the Shengxing Dynasty to attack Ningguo is just to make the Shengxing Dynasty cheap.
"Father, it seems that this is true at the moment, but if we do not form an alliance with the Shengxing Dynasty, Emperor Xuanyuan may not agree to let my army attack the Ning Kingdom through the channel, so I can only form an alliance with it. Wei Chi Mu paused for a moment and continued: "Moreover, after forming an alliance, we can save more than half of our troops. Erchen only led 3,000 iron cavalry to the front line, and the rest of the troops could be used as backup. ”
"Oh, only three thousand iron cavalry are needed on the front line?" Emperor Jinglie looked suspicious, "How can three thousand iron cavalry fight against the Ning State army?"
Yu Chimu smiled slightly: "Three thousand iron cavalry is just a pretense, Erchen will persuade the Shengxing Dynasty to send the main army, and it will be the Shengxing Dynasty that will really attack the Ning Kingdom at that time, not our dynasty." ”
"Emperor Xuanyuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how can he be moved by your words?" It's not that he doesn't believe in his son's talent, but it's a bit too mysterious.
"Naturally, I want to use the name of the Heavenly Machine Star. Yu Chimu said: "Emperor Xuanyuan may not know that Chi Xiaoman is Xuanyuan Liuxia at the moment, but Erchen received the news that the King of Dingnan in Ningguo Dingnan Mansion will marry Tianji Star as the princess of Dingnan, and this news is bound to reach the Shengxing Dynasty, and Emperor Xuanyuan will also make a move." As long as the princess Liuxia is not dead, Tianji Xingchi Xiaoman is Xuanyuan Liuxia's news to Emperor Xuanyuan, I believe that Emperor Xuanyuan will definitely send troops to help our dynasty attack Ningguo. ”
"But in this case, can you be sure that you will bring back the Heavenly Machine Star without letting the people of the Shengxing Dynasty take it away?" asked Emperor Jinglie.
Wei Chimu said unhurriedly: "Erchen should do his best, after all, Xiaoman will be the princess of Huai'an!" He was not in a hurry on his face, but he was quite anxious in his heart, his princess was about to become someone else's, how could he not be in a hurry? If it was possible, he really wanted to fly to Ningguo with wings and directly snatch Xiaoman out of the Dingnan Palace!
Emperor Jinglie stared at him and muttered for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking about, and finally said: "Okay! I will hand over the matter of retaking the Heavenly Machine Star to you, if you can persuade the Shengxing Dynasty to send troops, then I will give you 50,000 troops, and you will lead the capture of Ningguo!"
"The son will live up to his father's trust. Wei Chimu bowed and replied, and then hurriedly withdrew from the Chengqian Palace.
He has too many things to prepare, according to the news from the Ningguo branch of the Shadow Pavilion, the date for King Dingnan to marry the princess is set after August 15, less than half a month ago, if he goes to the Shengxing Dynasty to persuade Emperor Xuanyuan to form an alliance, it will definitely be too late, he has to release the news of attacking Ningguo first, so that the marriage may be postponed.
On the other hand, he also has to find a way to send a message to Xiao Man, so that she can try to make King Dingnan become the general of this war, so that the plan to destroy King Dingnan's marriage period can be foolproof!
