Li Xiang didn't say much, but it was said in Ma Yun's heart. Xiao Yi's secret letter, Ma Yun read it no less than three times, and the letter kept emphasizing that the monarchs and ministers of Shu were extremely conceited, just like the intelligence said; When Shu realized the danger of the pseudo-Zhou Tuntian Pass, under the promotion of Wang Zhaoyuan, the Shu ** side was eager to try the north into the Guanzhong, and even a little urgent, as if the Guanzhong was within reach. Shu was blind to the Northern Expedition, optimistic and a little whimsical, Xiao Yi wrote in the letter that when Xiao Yi returned to China, Shu also sent a minister to quietly go to Taiyuan and ask Liu Chong to send troops to Jinzhou and Bianjing to respond.

This is a typical self-righteousness, since the end of last year Liu Chong's army defeated Jinzhou, although Hedong is not a big injury, but it can be regarded as a broken muscle, Liu Chong and Guo Wei have been under Liu Zhiyuan's account for many years, and they are a little afraid of Guo Wei, after this battle, Liu Chong estimates that he does not even have the courage to go south. Not to mention anything else, even the envoy of the State of Chu could not convince Liu Chong, let alone the envoy of the State of Shu.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Meng Chang of Shu does not know military aircraft and is arrogant. Four years ago, with the cooperation of Wang Jingchong, the Shu soldiers were still defeated in Fengxiang, and now with the strength of Shu alone, how could they capture Guanzhong? Coupled with the garrison in Guanzhong, there are elite white-clothed troops of Pseudo-Zhou. The minister dared to assert that as long as the Shu soldiers marched north, the Shu Kingdom would be defeated! The current situation of the weakness of the Shu State, not only do we know, but the ministers must also know that they want to fake Zhou officials. If, once our army and Shu jointly send troops, then our Great Chu will have to face the main forces of the Pseudo-Zhou. This is not good for our Da Chu. Wang Yun said.

Seeing that Wang Yun seemed to be about to object, Li Xiang was a little anxious. In his opinion, although there are many people who come today, the people who can really exert influence on Ma Yun are none other than Xu Zhongya, Fan Zhen, Wang Yun, Zhao Pu, Tuoba Heng and himself. In this, since Xu Zhongya took the lead in expressing opposition, the senior officials of the three provinces and six ministries, who were already anti-war, would definitely stand on Xu Zhongya's side. In this case, it is up to the Privy Council to fight with all its might. Unexpectedly, Wang Yun also stood up against it.

Li Xiang's brows furrowed involuntarily. Since the Great Chu swept the south of the Yangtze River, the power of the civil officials has increased greatly, and in the debate over whether to ask for grain or a big knife, the civil officials have won a certain degree of victory, and the imperial court has devoted its main energy to consolidating the political power and developing the economy, so the policy of "short confrontation" was introduced under this situation. If the Central Plains has been in turmoil, this kind of policy is also a good policy. But the crux of the matter is that the Central Plains has now been pacified, and for many reasons, several surrounding countries are like robbers who have an epiphany, singing peace hymns in unison, and they are unwilling to harass the pseudo-Zhou of the Central Plains.

In this way, the border of the pseudo-Zhou was extremely fortunate to have a peaceful scene. The emperor of the puppet Zhou, Guo Wei, was stable and had a suitable governance, and the puppet Zhou was constantly recovering. The state of Chu is on display, and the pseudo-Zhou is also on display. Although the two major military blocs are trying to restore production and develop the economy. However, the degree of exhibition is different. In terms of territory, the state of Chu is slightly larger than the pseudo-Zhou, but there are many places in the state of Chu that are too slow, such as Guangnan West Road, such as the northern part of Jiaozhou, such as Jiangnan West Road, and even Jingnan, the land of Longxing in Chu State, which are all underreached areas. Although the pseudo-Zhou territory is smaller, but the Central Plains is thousands of miles of fertile soil, most of the places have been opened in the past, and now as long as there are people, as long as they pick up the pestle and plow the ground to plant crops, then the harvest can be expected. In the long run, the pseudo-Zhou wants food and food, and soldiers and soldiers, this... That's not a good thing.

Li Xiang's expression was solemn, although he was now in opposition to the privy envoy, and he would let the three provinces and six ministries be underestimated, but it was a matter of national planning, and Li Xiang couldn't take it too seriously, he opened his mouth and was about to refute, Wang Yun continued: "However, if we don't send troops. So what will be the result? The most obvious thing is that Shu was easily defeated by the pseudo-Zhou, and from now on, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the confidence to take the initiative, and because of our failure this time, I am afraid that Shu will not be able to trust us in the future. That is, we may lose an ally. In a short period of time, if there are no major changes, I am afraid that we can only face the pseudo-Zhou alone. Second, after the Shu State was defeated, Hedong did not have the strength to go south, the Khitan disdained to go south, and the Shu State did not dare to go north. 'Opportunity' is half by personnel and half by heaven, let's not talk about it for the time being, just talk about the exhibition. Judging from the current situation, our Da Chu is stronger than the pseudo-Zhou, but where is it stronger? The strength of our sailors is strong, the overseas trade effect is rich, and the life of the people along the coast is getting better and better. ”

Seeing Ma Yun nodding frequently, Wang Yunyou said: "Your Majesty, this is the situation of our Dachu. Let's take a look at the situation of the pseudo-Zhou, assuming that there is a three-year quiet period, if you look at the pseudo-Zhou, you will be impressive, and the strength of the pseudo-Zhou has increased greatly, and it may not be weaker than us. ”

Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, Lao Tzu exhibited overseas trade, carried out international exchanges, and communicated with each other, how to say that it was better than the similar 6 countries in the pseudo-Zhou. He asked suspiciously, "Wang Aiqing, where did you start with this?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Central Plains has always been agrarian, and rarely engaged in overseas trade. From Qin to Tang, the overseas trade of all dynasties and generations is not as good as our Great Chu, but the Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties are all famous dynasties. And when they were strong, all the nations came to court. What do they rely on? Farming! As long as the farming is done well, the men farm the land, and the women spin, the country will become rich and strong. With food, there is the root of war. And the Central Plains is precisely the root of agriculture in all dynasties, where the fertile fields are thousands of miles, whether it is cultivated land, crops, or climate, they are all better than our Dachu. Your Majesty, can the blockade of the coastal areas of the Pseudo-Zhou really trap the Pseudo-Zhou to death? Wang Yun asked rhetorically.

Ma Yun was stunned, he suddenly realized that he had been too optimistic all along. Just like Wang Yun said, if the coastline of the Pseudo-Zhou is blocked, how much will the Pseudo-Zhou be hit? It's just that some small salt farms have been knocked out. During the Five Dynasties, China was a typical feudal self-sufficient economy. As long as the people have land and people have food, the country will be strong.

"Pseudo Zhou Qiang is in the Ma Army, and Da Chu Qiang is in the Water Division", Ma Yun suddenly felt that this sentence was only half right, for defense, if the pseudo Zhou gave up Henan and galloped back and forth on the plains with the Ma Army, regardless of the gains and losses of a city and a place, and found an opportunity, he would give the Chu army a beat, then it would be difficult for the Chu army to unify the world. On the other hand, in the land of Huainan, water conservancy and river expansion were repaired, and when the cavalry of the puppet Zhou arrived in Huainan and there was no place for it, then the puppet Zhou thought about Huainan to unify the world, and it became difficult.

If you want to unify the world, you can't just use your own advantages. Moreover, the main thing is that the Central Plains is now dilapidated due to years of war, and they cannot be given a chance to recover. Ma Yun has all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and if he doesn't let the pseudo-Zhou Zhan, he can only continue to harass them and make them unable to live in peace, but does Da Chu really have enough strength to do this?

Besides, can sending troops really accomplish the purpose of harassment? Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan six times, but in the end? As an attacker, Shu is getting weaker and weaker, but Wei as a defender is getting stronger and stronger, of course, the main reason for this is because the Shu army is only itching and has not achieved the effect of disturbance, it has never reached the grain-producing areas and densely populated areas of Wei, and has not effectively destroyed them.

Can his own Da Chu really be able to destroy the grain-producing areas and densely populated areas of the pseudo-Zhou? Originally, it was possible, but when the pseudo-Zhou Tuntian was closed, he was beyond his reach.

Guanzhong? Ma Yun's eyes lit up, and there seemed to be a bright lightning bolt in his mind, which appropriately split the surrounding fog: Take advantage of the opportunity of Shu to advance north, and sneak attack Shu? With this new idea, Ma Yun's heart couldn't help but speed up the pace of jumping. The advantages of this are obvious, once successful, Shutou, Chu, Wuwei, and the Yangtze River are completely controlled by the hands of Chu, and the overall defense capability of Chu has been strengthened (the historical Southern Song Dynasty, it is by relying on this line of defense that it has been against the emerging Mongol Empire for nearly half a century, if it were not for the Jingzhou transfer to make Jia Nidao too incompetent, Mongolia may not be able to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty), in addition, with Shu, which is known as the "country of abundance", the strength of Chu will definitely reach a new level. In the end, Shu is in hand, then the Chu army can be on the front line of Dasan Pass, raid Guanzhong, destroy the plan of the pseudo-Zhou, and let all the grain-producing areas of the pseudo-Zhou be under the front of the Great Chu.

Thinking of this, Ma Yun said with some excitement: "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to wait for the Northern Expedition of Shu to suddenly attack Shu, what do you think are the chances of victory?" ”

It was silent, so quiet in the hall that you could hear the sound of a heartbeat. The ministers didn't seem to keep up with the Supreme Leader's thinking, and many of them had wonderful expressions, not just looking at each other. What's going on? Isn't it today to discuss whether to send troops jointly with Shu? Why did His Majesty the Great Emperor suddenly propose to blitz Shu Kingdom?

Some ministers listened to it, and their hearts sank slightly, such as Zhao Pu. As the brain of the Great Chu intelligence agency, if the imperial court decides to sneak attack Shu (Zhao Pu has no mental obstacles, after all, this is not the first time that Chu has done this kind of thing), then, the topographic map, the Shu army layout map These information must be available, in addition, after the Chu army sent troops, the judgment reflected by the people of Shu must also make a report. However, the information about Shu in Zhao Pu's hands was far from enough to support the army's expedition, and it was not enough to analyze how the people of Shu would react after the Chu army entered Shu? Although the people of Shu have a hard time, but the Shu country has been in the country for more than 30 years, and the feelings are still gained, in addition, the people are not cornered, he always mutters in his heart, in case, in case, the new master is not as good as Meng Chang, so what should I do?
