Bai Liyan listened to the cold sweat, according to Zong Botai's analysis, Liang Guo set a series of traps from the beginning.

The first is to deceive the defense of the country and the salty country to fight each other, and then drag down the economy of the salty country, forcing the salty country to return to the negotiating table for peace talks. Of course, the current Weiguo can't afford to consume, but with the economic blood transfusion of Liang and the continuous blessing of "internal mana", Xianguo can only stand up.

The final result will inevitably be a heavy blow to the country, and the Xianguo will lose half of its life.

However, Wei Guo also knew very well that the Jin State could use troops in the West Sea at any time to beat the chrysanthemum, but due to the constraints of communication distance and means, the speed of the Jin State would not be very fast, and at the same time, it was necessary to unite the four small countries in the West Sea to send troops together to defeat the Wei State and grab the greatest results.

Therefore, the Jin State needs time to coordinate and deploy, and the defense of the country still has strategic time to move, and there is a node of the "National Strength Fatigue Index" here.

War requires long-term preparation, and the reserve of materials is inevitably cyclical, constrained by technical and financial resources, and the effective time and scale of the reserve are also limited. Under normal circumstances, two years is an ideal base, and under the premise of not using war finances, the material reserve can be consumed for two years for a medium-sized war and can be used for a large-scale war for one to one and a half years.

Three to eight months after the start of the war, the countries expanded their market purchases and munitions according to the pre-war storage and consumption situation, and the finances were now in a state of full war, and all economies served to win the war.

Although the economic structure of the Xianguo has changed drastically, it has not been able to get rid of this system, and the war readiness of the Xianguo is set up according to the base reserve of one million people for three years, and the stable economic situation will be maintained for one year at most; if the scale of the war exceeds the level of one million people and drags on for one year, the wartime economy must be implemented one after another from the second year.

At present, the Xian army has 2.3 million soldiers and civilians, and the three-year ration of 1 million people is simply not enough to last for three years, so since preparations for war began in July last year, the state treasury has allocated funds to increase procurement, and by the beginning of spring this year, the domestic economy will gradually turn into a semi-wartime state in order to ensure the supply of the front.

As a top military secret, the pre-war reserves, including most members of the cabinet, are not clear, but as soon as the war starts, the increase and increase in finances are visible expenditures, and the Chengdao faction can obtain the war expenditures of the Xian country through internal intelligence, and only need to analyze the economic information to clearly know when the Xian army will be transferred to the war economy.

However, the number of troops in the Xian army is huge, and even considering the existing huge economic scale, the wartime economy will not last long, so this summer is a critical juncture, and ending the war before the summer will cause the least damage to the domestic economy. Therefore, ending the war before the summer and returning to the fields is the most beneficial for the Xian army, and the longer it drags on, the greater the damage.

The Chengdao faction found out exactly the seven inches of the Xian army, so as to use it as capital to go back to negotiate with Wei Guo, and ensure that the Xian army would start peace talks before the summer to appease Wei Wang. At the same time, the Jin army could only barely complete the diplomatic and military preparations of the four countries in the West Sea before the summer, and if it was in time, the Wei army would be able to make a time difference and rush back to the West Sea to stabilize the war situation. If it was too late, it would have been able to catch up with the early stage of the war, so he directly sent troops to attack the Yan State, and attacked the base camp of the Northern Army of the Taqi State and the Jin State along the coastline to the west.

The Xianguo and the Jin State have a vendetta, Bailiyan is a Qi person, the Xianguo dragged on the war and the national strength was greatly consumed, and it was not cost-effective to directly come forward to turn the other cheek with the Jin State, and the risk was too great, so the Wei Guo could be divided as a condition, in exchange for the economic and military support of the Xian State to the Wei State, and attack and kill the Northern Army of the Jin State in the West Sea.

While consuming the strength of the Jin State to provoke the relationship between Jin and Xian, it completely collapsed the Wei State, and then the Liang State came out to clean up the mess again, and the land and political benefits obtained were much more than now.

After the collapse of the Weiguo economy, Liang only needed to use economic aid as a condition in exchange for more ceded land for Weiguo, and Liang Guo was undoubtedly the final winner of the smile.

This matter has been a strategy of killing many birds with one stone from the beginning, and Bailiyan, as an outsider, is naturally impossible to know the secret situation early and calculate the clues at the first time. But the Chu family around King Wei is not a fool, even though there is interference from the foolish faction, but the foolish faction ignores the essence of defending the country.

The Patriotic State was essentially an extremely xenophobic aristocratic circle, which excluded all foreign rights and wedged into political entities to create a new class of power. The Patriotic Nation valued the foolish methods of the Foolish Sect and some early chemical witchcraft, and although it could influence the Patriotic Monarchy politically, not everyone in the Patriotic ruling class was stupid.

The political legacy left by the old Wei Wang Zhongsheng and the power of supporting orphans are still operating effectively, so the influence of the Foolish School in the political decision-making of the defense of the country is not absolute.

The problem that King Wei is facing now is that he has no soldiers available, and at the same time, King Wei also knows very well that the more than ten counties in the old land of Sun Guo have greatly diluted the strength of the Xian army, even if it is a two million army, it is very difficult to disperse and defend more than ten counties, plus the seven counties of Changsun, the strength of the Xian army cannot pose a real threat to the Wei country itself.

At present, the total area of the Xianguo mainland and the occupied Weiguo land is nearly 5 million square kilometers, and 1.5 million people maintain the 5 million square kilometers of land surrounded by strong enemies, and the military, political, and economic pressure is very enormous, and there is no longer the motivation and possibility to continue to advance westward, on the contrary, the military presence of the Jin army and the four countries of the West Sea is the greatest threat.

At the same time, Liang Guo is not a good bird, according to the routine script arranged by him, the final outcome will not be better, it will only be worse. So there is a paradox here, with the tiger and wolf ambition of defending the country, it is unacceptable to lose nearly three million square kilometers and seven Changsun counties of land, so you can only follow the script arranged by Liang Guo and fight to the death with Xianguo and Jin Guo.

But if Wei Wang can accept this loss, then the result is a different situation.

As Zong Botai said, as long as Zhong Ting, Zhong Mi, and Zhong Huai are allowed to cut the land and stand on their own, this piece of land is still surnamed Zhong, as long as the surname Zhong is still a chance to get it back in the future, and if Wei Guo has the opportunity to dominate the world in the future, King Wei will not mind that this self-reliance is divided in advance.

In this way, the Wei Wang first achieved two goals, one is that most of the old elites within the Wei Kingdom have moved eastward, and the country is quiet, once the fact of their independence is recognized, the old power elites must give up most of the fiefs and interests in the Wei Guo homeland, which is beneficial to the Wei Wang.

If you fight to the death with Xian and follow the routine of Liang State, the defense of the country still needs to be ceded land, and the magnates after the land cution have to move back to China, this situation will obviously not be much better than defeat.

Second, the main battlefield took place outside the homeland of the old land of the Sun Kingdom under the occupation of the Patriotic State, and did not affect the Patriotic homeland, so the greatest economic loss was the old patriotic elites, although the treasury suffered a huge price for this, but the old land of the Sun Kingdom and the dead and wounded soldiers, the economy of the Patriotic State virtually gained a chance to be reborn.

This was beneficial to the new elite who were attached to the Wei Wang, and as long as the old nobles were driven out, the new nobles could redivide their forces in the great Wei to seek benefits.

In the end, Zhong Ting, Zhong Mi, and Zhong Huai's self-reliance was able to maximize the protection of the old land surnamed Zhong of Sun Guo under the occupation of the Wei State, and at the same time, the three of them stood on their own to divide and rule them, but at the same time they received the military support of the Xian State and the Wei State, and ended the peace talks ahead of schedule, and the main force of the Wei Army was redeemed and transferred to the West Sea, and the crisis in the West Sea will be completely lifted.

So in the final calculation, King Wei and the emerging magnates in his country found that self-reliance was far more cost-effective than cutting land, and the script arranged by Liang Guo naturally did not work.

The Chengdao faction calculated everything, but no one knew that the "power class" would be like cells, self-dividing and self-repairing, and even self-rejecting the marginal harmful cells, and then completing the rebirth of the regime.

Moreover, in the face of huge external oppression, this kind of division and regeneration is often determined by the loss of internal interests, and the loss of external interests is more likely to be discarded by the new forces as negative assets.

Thinking through the connection, there are still two points that are very suspicious, one is that Zhong Ting, Zhong Mi, and Zhong Huai all asked to be self-reliant in the old land of Sun Guo, but did not divide the old land of Sun Guo and stand on their own, and King Wei should not be willing to see the three brothers and one family dominate, so he should have instructed the three brothers and three families to separate, and one family is dominant and the other two families must oppose it.

The question is, since it is not feasible for one family to monopolize, why did the three brothers come separately to ask for a single family.

Second, so far, the whole thing is Liang Guo is calculating Xianguo, Wei Guo is also calculating Xianguo, Wei Liang and Liang are fighting hotly in private, but there is no official negotiation with Xian State in the real sense, in terms of cost performance, Xianguo has the least benefit.

Although the meeting should protect the independence of the three kings, and get the two counties of Dekang and Yuanshan, it is undeniable that the Wei State has fully achieved most of its goals, although the Liang State and the Wei State will turn their faces because of the independence of the three kings, but the independence of the three kings still needs to be canonized by the Liang State, so there must be a bargaining chip to persuade the Liang State, so the Liang State can also get great benefits, so the Xian State is just a bargaining chip between them to pledge back and forth, and it is very passive politically.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan had to ask Zong Botai again:

"Sanzhong wants to be a big family, what does Mr. think there is a clue in it?"

"It seems counterintuitive, but it's not. Now that the land is occupied by our army, if the three kings are independent and not the only one, they will be blackmailed by me three times, but if the three kings all demand a single one, the benefits that our country can squeeze are very limited.

On the contrary, because the three kings needed to be canonized by the Liang State for their own independence, no matter how the land was divided, one of the three kings would not border Liang, so the Liang State could only blackmail the Wei Guo twice, and at the same time, the new king of the three separate families was less threatening to the Wei Guo than the one alone, so the Liang State reduced the income from the division of the land by the three kings, so it was extremely beneficial to the Wei Guo.

Therefore, as long as our country hands over the Wei land, which has already been divided into the benefits by us, the Liang State will have much less to share the benefits, and at the same time, in the face of the sudden retreat of our army, the Liang State will have nothing to do. You can only share the benefits as soon as possible to prevent recurrence. ”
