Chapter 687: Checks and Balances

Wang Su was born in the Xuanguo family, and Qiu Rong was in Huanguo, almost the same as him.

The feudal dynasty, a very famous scholar clan on one side, knew each other, and it was not surprising that there was nothing strange.

After the day went down to court, Qiu Rong went to visit in person.

Knowing of his arrival, Wang Su hurriedly greeted him, and at the gate of the post house, he stretched out his sleeve robe and bowed his hand: "I don't know if Xiangguo has arrived, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome." ”

"My brother and I have known each other for many years, so it's too much to talk like this." Qiu Rong also returned the salute, with a smile on his face.

"Where, Where, ......"

There was another polite greeting, and after the words, Qiu Rong also immediately invited: "In the official post, there are too many miscellaneous people, and it is not a place to talk, if Brother Tai does not give up, dare to invite me to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and drink two cups together, so as to catch up with the old days." ”

"This ......" Wang Su hesitated for a moment, and then smiled heartily: "It's okay, I'll bother the prime minister." ”

"Where, please." Qiu Rong said, stretching out his hand even more politely.

Outside the door, a carriage had already been parked, and when the two of them rode together, the coachman immediately shook the reins and rushed to the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the car, the two sat opposite each other, Qiu Rong was thinking about how to speak, but Wang Su smiled and said: "The prime minister's intention is actually understood, but this matter is ......"

When Qiu Rong heard this, his spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Tai, you and I can be regarded as old friends, not to mention thin noodles, just this matter, can there be room for maneuver?" I hope to tell you the truth. ”

As far as the current situation is concerned, in the end, the two sides will reach an agreement with 60 million taels of silver, and Wang Su's opening of 90 million is just a formality.

On their side, they were negotiating the post-war affair, and on the other side, Zhenyang.

After the ghost clan was exterminated, Zhenyang at this time was no longer an empty city, and the people who fled from home heard the news and rushed back.

Under this trend, although the streets are not as prosperous as before, they are gradually recovering the flow of people.

Somewhere inside the official residence.

This is where Xiao Yuan temporarily stays.

At the door of the study, Xu Hu hung a war sword on his waist, and the door god was the same.

Inside the house, Xiao Yuan was discussing something with Shangguan Wenruo.

He said: "After the expulsion of foreign enemies, gold and silver are only secondary, this king is concerned, or the counties of Huanguo, especially the strategic arteries, if we can garrison one or two, it will play a key role in our grand strategy of unifying the north." ”

"What the king said is very true." Shangguan Wenruo said: "But from the current point of view, it is not easy for us to take Huan land, first, when the king waives his army, it is to announce to the world and expel foreign enemies. ”

"Second, the nations do not want to see the king unify the north, needless to say, Wu Chu, especially the Spirit King, once we take the land, there will inevitably be a war with the Huan Kingdom, and at that time, the Spirit King will most likely stand on the side of the King Huan."

"We can pull Xuanguo into the alliance." Xiao Yuan subconsciously said.

Shangguan Wenruo said: "But over there with Wu Chu, the king can't turn a blind eye." Wu Chuhuan Ling, if four to two, does the king have a chance to win? And when that time comes, will King Xuan still stand on the side of the king? ”

"Therefore, Weichen thinks that in the long run, it is not appropriate to try to land now, otherwise, it will force the spirit king, and the war has just passed, and it needs to be cultivated, what the king has to do is to accumulate national strength, stabilize the cool land, and when the time is ripe, he can unify the north, and then wave his army to the south, and the army will come to the Yangtze River."

His meaning is already very clear, that is, if he attacks Huan now, the Spirit King will definitely intervene, and the national strength of the Qin State needs to be further improved, and it cannot be rushed.

After listening to this, Xiao Yuan thought about it carefully, and then shook his head and said, "It's a pity." ”

Knowing his mood, Shangguan Wenruo smiled slightly: "The king doesn't have to worry too much, after this battle, the vitality of the Huan country has been greatly damaged, not only the strength of the army has been sharply reduced, but the national strength is on the verge of collapse, the 60 million taels of silver are given, and the Huan country will definitely not recover within a few years, and in these years, the king will definitely have the opportunity to destroy Huan." ”

Xiao Yuan glanced at him funny: "How can anything come to you that can become a good thing." ”

"The king said with a smile, you are the king of the Holy Ming, and you must know better than Weichen in your heart." Shangguan Wenruo said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now, wait for Wang Su's results." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.

They were analyzing the Spirit Kingdom, but they didn't know that the Spirit King was also discussing this matter with Cheng Ping.

For the current situation of Huan State, everyone knows it, Cheng Ping Zhengse said: "Judging from the King of Qin's sweeping of the cool land, the national policy of Qin must be to unify the north first, and then from north to south, looking at the world, and now, there is only one King Huan left in the northern vassal states." ”

Hearing this, King Ling immediately said: "King Qin must not be allowed to unify the north, otherwise, the Kingdom of Qin will be his next target, and after the State of Qin goes east, the tigers and wolves of the nations will be feared, if it continues like this, won't he King Qin want to be the emperor!" ”

As he spoke, he said: "The nine princes of the world have gone to the third, and the destruction of Liang, Jin, and Yan all involved the King of Qin. ”

"Hiss......" Cheng Ping took a breath: "When the king said this, he really felt this way." ”

"The poor and weak Qin has long since risen, and it can no longer be regarded as a barbarian state, as the first strong enemy." King Ling said: "Over the years, although the national strength of the Spirit Kingdom has increased greatly, it has not yet had the capital to dominate the world, but it will never allow others to try to dominate, this is a matter of checks and balances, Huan State, let it hang there, there will be constraints on the northern pattern, this is what this king wants to see, it is best to let King Qin bother and work hard, and thankless." ”

When Cheng Ping heard this, he asked tentatively: "Then, if King Qin takes advantage of this to take advantage of this, ...... land"

The Spirit King glanced at him and said with a smile, "Then the war can't end." ”

Cheng Ping understood what he meant, and couldn't help but say, "I'm Wang Yingming." ”

The Spirit King is indeed an old fox, and with a strategist like Cheng Ping, it will undoubtedly become Xiao Yuan's biggest stumbling block.

King Xuan's side.

The inside of the barrel is steaming and sprinkled with flower petals.

King Xuan rested his hands on his chin and was lying on the edge of the barrel, revealing his white and immaculate back.

Xie Hongling stood behind her, pouring hot water unhurriedly, and said curiously: "King, you said that with the treachery of King Qin, it is easy to take Huan land now, why only gold and silver." ”

"It's not that he wants gold and silver, but he doesn't dare, he has scruples, and he's worried about the Spirit King." King Xuan broke through the mystery in one word: "Just like when he extinguished Liang, he would be restrained by Xuanguo, and Wu Chu, that is, he had long seen that the Qin State was not pleasing to the eye, and if he really wanted to launch a war to destroy Huan, Wu Chuling, the three kingdoms, would definitely come together." ”

"Then, if this is really the case, Wu Chuhuan Ling, the Four Kingdoms War Qin, what will my country consider?" Xie Hongling said subconsciously.

King Xuan turned his head to look at her, smiled slightly, his beautiful eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything more.
