The news that the Tang State sent people to the countries of the Western Regions to buy horses soon spread.

Something like this couldn't be hidden at all, so from the beginning, Tang Guo didn't think about hiding it.

In this way, it is only natural that other countries will know the news.

Wei was the first to get the news.

Xu Du, early dynasty.

Above the main hall, someone told Wei Cao about the situation.

After Wei Cao listened, his expression moved slightly, and he said: "What is the intention of the Tang State to go to the countries of the Western Regions to buy horses, do you want to start a war against my Wei State?" ”

This situation is indeed possible, because now that the Tang State has destroyed the Chu State, they will definitely not attack the Han State for the time being, although the Han State is weak, but there is such a natural danger as Shudi, it is not easy to attack for a while, it must be a very time-consuming thing.

So relatively speaking, the only ones who are easy to fight are them Wei.

Wei Guo provoked Tang State several times, with Tang Guo's temperament, it is normal to settle accounts with them.

Therefore, Wei Cao has such worries.

Of course, it can't be said that it is worried, but it is a little nervous, why don't they want to fight with the Tang army and destroy the Tang State?

Wei Cao is already old, but he is an old man with ambitions, so he did not lose his fighting spirit because of his age like Tang Yuan, and now Wei Cao's fighting spirit is not lost to himself when he was young.

Therefore, there was a little nervousness in his words, and a little excitement.

The ministers of the court and the central government looked at each other and discussed a lot.

"Holy Lord, if it is really against my Wei State, then my Wei State must have prepared early."

"Yes, I'm afraid you have to guard against the Ming Kingdom, then the Tang Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom are simply embarrassed."

“…………”

Qunchen, you and I said one sentence at a time, Sima Yi stood in front, frowned slightly, and then stood up and said: "Shengshang, I'm afraid that the Tang State does not want to use troops against my Wei State, but wants to use troops against the Turks." ”

When these words came out, everyone was stunned, and some felt incredible.

At this time, did the Tang State use troops against the Turks?

Indeed, the Turks also teased the Tang State several times, and the Tang State's hatred for the Turks was no less than that of their Wei State, but they always felt that the Turks were just barbarians, and it was not interesting to conquer them, and if they wanted to compete for the world, they still had to develop in the Central Plains and the south.

However, Sima Yi said this, there must be a reason for him, so everyone did not immediately refute it, and Wei Cao asked even more: "Oh, Sima Aiqing, why do you say that?" ”

Sima Yi said: "Shengshang, the Tang State has cavalry, and their cavalry is no worse than our Wei State, if they want to fight with our Wei State, they don't need to go so hard to buy war horses, they bought war horses, presumably they must fight, it must be a Turkic with very strong cavalry." ”

After Sima Yi explained the situation like this, everyone immediately felt that it made sense.

If it weren't for the purpose of attacking the Turks, what would Tang Guo do with all this effort?

After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't fight their Wei State, it would be much easier.

"Holy Lord, what Lord Sima said makes sense, since the Tang State is going to war with the Turks, then we should prepare our troops and horses now and attack the Chen State again."

"That's right, the strength of the Turks is not weak, this battle, the Tang State does not have a year, I am afraid that it is unlikely to destroy the Turks, and this battle will make their consumption lose a lot, we take advantage of this time to destroy the Tang State, it is very appropriate."

"That's right, that's right, make a move on Chen Guo, and then go straight to Tang Guo......" Many people in the court muttered, Wei Cao's expression was calm, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking, and at this time, Wei Cao suddenly glanced at Zhuge Kongming in the main hall and asked: "Zhuge Aiqing, what do you think about this matter, I, Wei Guo, do I want to use troops against Chen Guo?" ”

Wei Cao intended to suppress Sima Yi, so Zhuge Kongming was often promoted, and in less than a year, Zhuge Kongming had already sat in the position of a second-rank official in the court, and his promotion speed was beyond the reach of others.

But despite this, the people in the court admired him very much, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with his promotion, because during this period of time, Zhuge Kongming used his own ability to conquer them.

At this time, being questioned by Wei Cao, Zhuge Kongming thought for a while, then stood up and said: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that the top priority is not to send troops to the Tang State, but to unite the Song State and send troops to the Ming State. ”

Hearing this, the ministers of the court and the central government were stunned, their enemy has always been the Tang State, why do they suddenly want to use troops against the Ming State now?

There were soon some noisy voices in the court, but Wei Cao was not in a hurry at all, looked at Zhuge Kongming and asked, "Oh, why can't you use troops against the Tang State?" "There are several reasons, first, although the Tang State is exterminating the Turks, but the power of the Tang State is not weak, it is a little difficult for our Wei State to destroy them, and even if the Tang State is destroyed, our Wei State will still face the danger of other countries, such as the State of Explanation, or the Turks that have not been destroyed, although the State of Wei is in the middle of the Chinese countries, but this is not a good thing, because in this case, there are too many enemies around, yes, destroy the Ming State, remove our worries in the east, so that when we fight against the Tang State again, We don't have to worry about anything anymore, and most importantly

, the Ming State has developed water conservancy, which is conducive to the economic development of our Wei State, and destroying the Ming State can make my Wei State more rich and powerful, and have the background of a war with the Tang State. After Zhuge Kongming finished saying this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Sima Yi's mouth, but he didn't speak, others talked about it, some were in favor and some were not, Wei Cao was here, but after thinking for a while, he said: "Zhuge Aiqing is reasonable, but the key to what you said is afraid that it is in the Song Kingdom, right?" ”

Zhuge Kongming said: "Yes, the naval army of the Song Kingdom is also very powerful, if they are willing to send troops, our chances of victory will be much greater." ”

"It's just that my Wei State rarely interacts with the Song State, and I want them to send troops to help us deal with the Ming State, I'm afraid it's not easy, right?"

Wei Cao had obviously already considered this problem, so it was natural to ask at this time, Zhuge Kongming said: "It's really not easy, but the minister is willing to go to the Song State and persuade the Son of Song to cooperate with my Wei State and take the Ming Kingdom in one fell swoop." Hearing that Zhuge Kongming wanted to be an envoy to the Song State, Wei Cao's expression moved slightly, and then he showed a light smile, and said: "If Zhuge Aiqing is willing to run, then there must be no problem in this matter. When Wei Cao said this, he was obviously very confident in Zhuge Kongming's ability, and felt that as long as he went, he would definitely be able to convince the monarch of the Song Kingdom.
