"Your Highness, don't worry. Helian Yanran thought for a moment and said, "Although the power of artillery is huge, it is very laborious to transport. This in itself is a huge flaw. ”

After speaking, he said to the figure: "How many troops has Qingguo gathered?

Bai Sheng quickly calmed down during her questioning. Yes, he was confused by this news, or Helian Yanyan was thoughtful and always grasped the crux of the problem. Otherwise, even if the problem of artillery is solved, there is still a risk that you will suffer in battle.

"The monarch of Qingguo intends to form an alliance with Jingguo, and has revised the book with Emperor Jing, but there is no response. Emperor Jing's attitude was very ambiguous, neither knowing how to refuse nor responding happily, as if he was waiting. ”

"Jing Guo and Da Yue have old grudges. Last time, Yan Ran exchanged Quyang City from the hands of Jing Guo, presumably Emperor Jing and a group of courtiers did not agree in their hearts, but they only felt that it was our Da Yue who played a conspiracy and took the opportunity to open his mouth, and he was eager to find an excuse to seize some other cities in his heart.

It's just that Yan Ran had the foresight to make them write a contract, and Emperor Jing also promised never to do it again in his lifetime. It's written in black and white, and it's not easy for them to break the contract openly.

It's just that now that Qingguo has artillery in hand, the odds of victory are not small, and it is inevitable that Jingguo will move his mind again. You can't invade on the surface, but you can help Qingguo in private, and you can get a piece of the pie at that time. Bai Sheng sneered and said.

Such things are not uncommon, and any alliances and national letters are all unreliable. The monarchs in this world are all profitable, profitable, and naturally ready to move.

"The king of Jing is already old. I dared to sign such a contract in the first place, which is also one of the important reasons.

If you really fight, there are only two results. Qingguo won, Da Yue was defeated, and he was slaughtered by others, so naturally he had no right to speak.

Qingguo was defeated, Dayue was victorious, and it was completely possible to excuse Emperor Jing who was sick and invited a certain prince or prince to temporarily act on behalf of the state.

There are risks, but they are ripe enough, so why not?

If you guessed correctly, at this moment, Jingguo has secretly sent someone to contact Qingguo to discuss the plan. Helian Yanran reasoned.

"That's what I thought, too. Bai Sheng agreed, "The top priority is to destroy their alliance?"

"It doesn't have to be that way in the opinion of the courtiers. Instead of having to stop them, His Highness should hope that their covenant would be strong. ”

"What does Yan Ran mean by this?" Bai Sheng knew that Helian Yan Ran must have a reason for saying this, but he didn't quite understand her intentions.

"Even if he breaks the covenant, he can't make Jing Guo die, and he will definitely try his best to make a comeback one day. If Jing Guo is closely related to Qing Guo, His Royal Highness only needs to inflict heavy damage on Qing Guo, and he can deter the two countries in one fell swoop, forgive him for not daring to fight Da Yue for many years. ”

"It's like that's true. Bai Sheng thought so, but after thinking about it, he had an extremely headache, "It's just that if Jing Guo helps Qingguo in private, it will be equivalent to Da Yue dealing with two countries at the same time." In this way, it is a victory, but I am afraid that it will have to pay a lot of price. ”

It looks powerful, but in fact it is almost rotten inside. Over the years since the founding of the country, the trend of extravagance has become increasingly popular, and it has gradually emphasized literature over military force. It is not that there are no useful generals, but corruption is also everywhere in the army, and the combat effectiveness is low, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be heavy casualties in the event of a major war.

"The courtiers probably know His Highness's concerns. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Zhao Junbao became a centurion back then, but he still felt that his future was hopeless and disheartened, so he returned to his hometown.

The rest of the low-level soldiers are probably even more passive and lazy, joining the army just to eat well. Counting up, only the soldiers under the eldest prince are better. ”

"The court is indeed very disagreeable. Bai Sheng got angry when he thought of this, "These moths of the country will have to clean them up sooner or later." ”

"Your Highness will be a generation of Ming Jun in the future. Helian Yanran took advantage of the situation to boast.

Bai Sheng heard this, and couldn't help but smile: "I am also fortunate to be so optimistic about Yanran."

Don't coax me with all the nice things, or tell me what you think. ”

"Once a war starts, it will inevitably affect the people and increase waste. According to the present state of affairs in the treasury, it is impossible to have so much money to fight a long and hard battle. Therefore, the most important thing is to keep the war as short as possible and minimize the number of casualties in Dai Viet. And as much as possible, we must not destroy the people's stable life. Helian Yanran analyzed.

"Yes, that's right. But how to do it?" everyone understands the truth, but the difficulty lies in how to implement it.

"It's not that hard to do that.

First of all, it is necessary to ensure that Jing Guo does not lend troops to Qing Guo. ”

"But the most fundamental reason why Qingguo wants to form an alliance with Jingguo is probably that he has taken a fancy to Jingguo's military strength, if Jingguo doesn't borrow it, how can Qingguo be willing?"

"What if there is a reason why the Kingdom of Jing really can't borrow it?" Helian Yanran said with a good path.

"What does Yanran mean ......" Bai Sheng's eyes rolled and smiled, "For example, Jing Guo has received a secret report, and other countries are plotting to attack, in order to protect themselves and be safe, soldiers, naturally cannot be borrowed." ”

Helian Yanran said: "Your Highness is wise. ”

"Yanran is going to shame me when she says that. I can think of this, thanks to your reminder. Bai Sheng was not conceited because of this, but was very modest, "It's just that if Jing Guo doesn't borrow troops, will this alliance still be concluded?"

"Troop strength is important, but Qingguo should also consider the situation of rejection before borrowing troops from Jingguo.

If you can't borrow it, it's not unacceptable if you can borrow something that is comparable to it. Helian Yanran still didn't say it very thoroughly.

"For example, grain and grass?" Bai Sheng's eyes lit up, "Yes." The consumption of fighting a war is very large, and if you can have a stable and sufficient source of food and grass, you will indeed have a better chance of winning. Qingguo has a good abacus. ”

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. If there is not enough food and grass, this battle will naturally not be able to continue. ”

After Helian Yanran finished speaking, he commanded the figure: "Looking for the star, you are staring." If there is a reply from Jingguo's side, or where Qingguo starts to act, he must report it in time. ”

"Seek the stars and lead the way. The figure bowed his head.

"In addition, the monarch of Qingguo has always been cautious, but he is afraid that it is not only the Jingguo family that wants to unite. If there is another line, call Mochizuki to watch. What was found was also promptly returned. ”

Another figure knelt on the ground: "Mochizuki takes orders." ”

"Let's go our separate ways. Do what you have to do. Helian Yanran said lightly.

"Seeking the stars/Mochizuki is retiring. ”

Bai Sheng was used to the fact that Qingfeng Hall's ghosts didn't come and go like the wind, but he couldn't help but sigh: "Such a profitable subordinate is all called Yanran to subdue." ”
