Chapter 219: Small
In the ward, which suddenly became very depressed because of the silence, the water demon sat on a stool on the side, looking at Xiao Bai on the hospital bed, silently thinking about the mission he came here this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This kendo tournament is said to be to select the best teenagers, but in fact, it is a duel between various large states in order to test each other's strength.
In the past few years, Yuzhou's strength has continued to expand, and after the strength is strong, people's hearts will also swell, and they are no longer satisfied with the original land and rivers.
In several large states adjacent to Yuzhou, they have been frequently assassinated and invaded by an unknown swordsman in recent years, although each big state did not say anything on the surface, but in fact, who did it was very clear in their hearts.
In addition to the super state, which big state would dare to be so arrogant?
But despite this, they did not dare to say anything, and all they could do was to tighten the border guards and reduce the recurrence of similar incidents.
At the forefront of the world's nine states are the three major states, in addition to the recognized largest state in the world, there are Jizhou in the north and Yangzhou in the south.
The relationship between the three major states is very delicate, and the clash or overtures are always intriguing.
The topography of Yuzhou is relatively special, the north is the largest river in Kyushu - the Yellow River, which is the origin of Yuzhou civilization, and it is precisely because of the Yellow River that the agricultural civilization of Yuzhou is very strong, which is also one of the important reasons why Yuzhou is very strong.
However, Yuzhou also has its own shortcomings, although Yuzhou has bred advanced agricultural civilization by virtue of geographical advantages, but the terrain of the whole Yuzhou is very flat, and there are almost no mountains to speak of.
This is the most lethal place in Yuzhou, everyone knows that once there is a war in the future, as long as the two checkpoints in the north and south of Yuzhou are lost, the swordsmen will drive straight in, and Yuzhou will no longer have a place to defend.
At that time, the defeat of Yuzhou will be a foregone conclusion, and there is no doubt about this.
On the other hand, there are two large states outside the country, Jizhou is surrounded by lakes in the north and south, although agriculture is not very developed, but there are many mountain systems, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to attack from the outside to the inside.
As for Yangzhou in the south, because it relies on the cultivation of the Yangtze River, the largest river in Kyushu, its own advantages are also very prominent, and its agriculture is also above Jizhou, but Yangzhou has many forests, miasma and poisonous fog, and the terrain is mountainous, and there are basins and valleys.
This also caused Yangzhou why did not become one of the important reasons why it failed to surpass Yuzhou, Yangzhou's topography is too complex, and there is less communication with the outside world, so the wartime information transmission is very slow, when the Kyushu War was because of the delay of the fighters, Yangzhou did not attack Liangshan in time, which led to the collapse and failure of the entire war.
Although Yuzhou occupies a natural advantage, if Jizhou and Yangzhou really join forces, it is not impossible to defeat Yuzhou, but the two big states have become a feud because of the Kyushu War decades ago, how can they join forces?
In recent years, Yuzhou has become more and more powerful, constantly launching assassinations and invasions around it, and Jizhou has also turned a blind eye to this, and only when the state is attacked, will it come forward to ask questions.
On the contrary, Yangzhou's methods are much more aggressive, at the beginning, once Yangzhou is attacked, then the border of Yuzhou will be attacked by more unidentified swordsmen.
The governor of Yuzhou Sword Mansion knew that this was a retaliation from Yangzhou Sword Mansion, and they only tested the reaction of various large states in the face of the invasion, and after knowing that Yangzhou was not easy to provoke, they no longer harassed Yangzhou.
However, at that time, Chen Zhen discussed this matter with his subordinates, and asked Chen Sheng with a smile if it was him, if he wanted to start a war in the future, it would be better to attack Jizhou first or Yangzhou first.
For Yuzhou, there is no big problem with other small states, the key is that the two big states in the north and south, once there is a war, they must quickly attack a big state, otherwise once the two big states join forces, they will be too passive.
Chen Sheng didn't think about it for too long, so he said that of course he was going to attack Jizhou first, and this result was expected by Chen Zhen, but he still asked Chen Sheng to explain the reason why he did this.
Judging from the previous violations of various states, Jizhou reacted relatively little in the face of harassment, and obviously had a feeling of calming things down, while Yangzhou fought back with more drastic means, and at first glance it was not afraid of things.
In addition, there is another very important point, the governor of Jizhou Jianfu is an old man who is about to die, and Yangzhou's is a young man, in contrast, Jizhou is obviously a soft persimmon, Yangzhou is a hard stone, and it is obviously much better to attack Jizhou than Yangzhou.
Although Chen Sheng's words sounded very good, Chen Zhen still shook his head, Chen Sheng naturally asked if he was wrong, Chen Zhen didn't say anything wrong with Chen Sheng, just said a simple sentence, but Chen Sheng was like being struck by lightning.
"You, have you been hiding and being confused all these years? The pattern is too small, right? ”
Later, Chen Zhen's words made Chen Sheng completely wake up.
Although Jizhou is a soft persimmon, but it is not something they can pinch first, as Chen Sheng said, the governor of Yangzhou Jianfu is a very angry young man, if they attack Jizhou first, that person will definitely realize that Yuzhou wants to capture Jizhou, and then attack Yangzhou.
Under the nest, how can there be eggs?
At that time, he would definitely take the initiative to attack Yuzhou, so as to reinforce Jizhou and reduce the pressure on Jizhou, and then Yuzhou would completely fall into a situation where the enemy was on his back.
On the contrary, if they attack Yangzhou first, according to Jizhou Jianfu's previous performance of the invasion, they cherish their feathers very much, and they will definitely not take the initiative to attack Yuzhou to help Yangzhou, but hope that Yuzhou can let them go.
They can also promise Jizhou first, but when they really attack Yangzhou, it is the day they tear up their promise and attack Jizhou.
Chen Zhen's insights made Chen Sheng completely realize that his strategy was still too tender, but what really made Chen Sheng respect Chen Zhen was what he said later.
"Why do you want to attack Yangzhou first, to put it bluntly, the reason is actually very simple, the pattern of the man in the south is not ordinarily big, he is the same as his father, he is plotting the whole world, which is like the old immortal guy in the north, the instrument is small!"
