On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a very special dinner was held at the Honglu Inn.

Xu Lian, a protégé of Mr. Mao Ye, a famous thinker in Jingguo, proposed to define this dinner as "cooking wine and discussing world affairs".

Tang Yu thinks that his Xishan Kingdom has been ruined in the past year, and there is no gain.

Xu Lian listened to Tang Yu's words, but felt that it was very inappropriate.

He laughed and replied to Tang Yu: "Miss Tang is too pessimistic, please take a look at General Ye sitting opposite you!" ”

"Although your Xishan Kingdom is suffering from misery on the surface and constant wars, it still belongs to your own Xishan Kingdom!"

"And what about Yan Guo, isn't it a misery now? The princess is recovering the country, the prince is a puppet, and the country is no longer in his hands. ”

"If it were you Xishan, would you still think that the current variety is 'rare'?"

Tang Yu listened to Xu Lian's words, remained silent and did not speak again.

Everyone turned their attention to Ye Youhuan, and Xu Lian compared Yan Guo, obviously throwing out the topic.

But Ye Youhuan didn't feel uncomfortable because of this.

First of all, it must be admitted that Xu Lian's words expound an objective fact that everyone knows.

Secondly, in this environment of 'cooking wine and discussing world affairs', there is no one to target anyone, and it is the temperament of a gentleman to discuss state affairs and speak freely.

Ye Youhuan also behaved very politely, he thought for a while, and then continued Xu Lian's words and said: "Judging from the results, Yan Guo's harvest this year is still very large, we can be regarded as going from 'none' to 'have', every battle has been fought beautifully, and even a surprise attack. ”

"At the beginning of the year, we were a group of mourning soldiers who didn't even have a national territory, but now, we have successfully recovered all the territory south of Jeju."

"In less than a year, we have reclaimed a third of our country, and I think we have gained a lot this year!"

Every time Ye Youhuan said a word, Yang Xie couldn't stop nodding behind him, and he recognized Ye Youhuan's diplomatic language very much.

"But from the perspective of Miss Tang's thinking, our Yan Kingdom is not a success."

"Because there is war, there is no peace, and this is a necessary sorrow. But the difference is that we, the people of Yanguo, are holding the 'dream of recovering the country', so how can we say that? ”

Ye Youhuan wanted to speak beautifully in front of foreign envoys, but found that there were no words available, so he turned back and asked Yang Xie directly.

Yang Xie reacted extremely quickly, and replied without pause: "Fall into the place of death and then live, and leave the place of death and survive." ”

"That's right! That's what it means! The people are also poor, but the mentality of our people is still different from yours. ”

At this time, the Bashks next to Tang Yu and the others obviously wanted to express their thoughts.

From the perspective of the geographical location of various countries, the Bashik country is the biggest beneficiary of the war in Xishan country.

Because they are neighbors to Xishan, and they are a nomadic people with few resources.

The war in Xishan allowed them to respite and recuperate for a full year.

In the vast northern Central Plains, there are five major powers, namely Jing, Qing, Jing, Lü and Gusu, collectively known as the five hegemons of the Central Plains.

The northernmost is the Jing Kingdom, which covers the largest area, but it is mostly a basin.

The two coastal countries to the south are Jingguo, which is the most economically developed, and Gusu, which has beautiful scenery and abundant resources.

The landlocked country bordering Jingguo is the country of Lü with the longest history, and it is also the political power among the five countries.

To the southeast of Lü and northwest of Gusu was Qingguo, a country that was extremely divided internally, despite its vast area.

And the Yan Kingdom, the Xishan Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom and the Bashik Kingdom, these four countries are all located to the north of the five countries of the Central Plains, and they are the four small countries in the north.

Among them, Liangguo is located in the northernmost part and has the most outstanding strength.

Bordering the southwest of the Liang Kingdom is the Xishan Kingdom, and bordering it to the southeast is the Yan Kingdom.

Xishan and Yan are parallel to each other, sandwiched between Liangguo and Jingguo.

The Bashik State is a nomadic people located in the northwest of the Xishan Country in close proximity to the Xishan Country.

They were originally called the Bashk tribe, but because of their people's courage and skill, they eventually split from Jing and formed their own state.

The geographical location of the Bashk country is extremely awkward, bordering the Liang country to the northeast, the Xishan country to the southeast, the Jing country to the southwest, and the old Gu Jing country to the southeast.

Everyone wants to fight Bashik, but no one dares to fight casually.

General Batan of the Bashik State was eager to try, and he picked up Ye Youhuan's words and said: "You guys are talking too much! General Ye is not comprehensive! ”

Batan has a rough personality, a very loud voice, and is unkempt in his speech.

"The battle of Yan Kingdom is very comfortable! Fight off the enemy and win! ”

"But Xishan Country is not called a war, it is called angry!"

"In order to resist Jingguo, Xishan Kingdom took refuge in Liang Kingdom, and married his daughter to Liang Kingdom, but in the end, he didn't get anything!"

"On the contrary, now that I am making trouble, I don't even have the right to fight back, staring at others fighting in my own home, who can stand it?"

After Batan's words were finished, Ye Youhuan subconsciously looked at the Jingxin princess beside him.

Princess Jingxin's face was not good-looking.

If you let everyone here know that the princess of Xishan Kingdom who married into Liangguo was enlarged by the son-in-law of Yan Kingdom, and the child she gave birth to was also announced to the world by the prince of Liangguo as her own flesh and blood, then this feast of 'cooking wine and discussing world affairs' may become an 'ethical war'.

Ye Youhuan stretched out her hand and patted Princess Jingxin's arm to comfort her and keep her basically calm.

Yang Xie listened to Batan's words, and then immediately opened his mouth and recalled: "I think that at the beginning, Liang Guo really didn't want to fight Xishan Kingdom, and his goal has always been our Yan Kingdom. ”

"After all, the countries bordering Xishan Country are more complicated, and the coastal areas of our Yan Country are relatively simple to attack, which is well known."

"But Liang Guo has changed now, and he obviously feels that it is a very cost-effective thing to fight Jing Guo on the territory of Xishan Country."

"And it's been a lot of fun and dedication."

"The blitzkrieg of Liangguo broke our Yan Kingdom, and Jingguo felt that it was unbalanced, so he wanted to take Xishan Country and make up for himself, so he would attack Xishan Kingdom."

"I have to say that the reason for the current situation in Xishan Country is undoubtedly Jingguo."

"But the situation has developed to this day, I think the reason for this has become that Jingguo and Liangguo are half each, right?"

After Yang Xie's words were finished, everyone remained quiet.

At this time, Xu Lian broke the silence and said with a slight smile: "What Mr. Yang said is indeed the truth. ”

"Jingguo originally thought that attacking Xishan Country would be as easy as Liang Kingdom attacking Yan Kingdom."

"But I didn't think that Liang Guo actually supported a prince in Yan Kingdom, which made things so tug-of-war."
