Zhong Ting, Zhong Mi, and Zhong Huai all asked for a monopoly in order to reduce the loss of being blackmailed by the Xianguo, because the Xianguo and the Wei State only bordered Dekang County, so the only way to obtain land was to cut land along the narrow corridor. If it is a dominant company, the bottom line of negotiation is small. If the three are self-reliant, the scale of negotiations will be much larger.

Because no matter how self-reliant he is in the end, the land is divided into three families, anyway, it is divided into three families, Bailiyan can completely let his three families squeeze each other and fight among themselves, when he loses his military strength and time resources, in the end, he has to make an offer from Xianguo to cut the land to the greatest extent.

On the other hand, a single new prince is also a potential threat to the Liang State, even if there are only ten counties, but the next to the Liang State is still a huge threat, so the Liang State will never allow a single prince to lie on the side of the couch, so Zhong Ting, Zhong Mi, Zhong Huai and the Liang State negotiated with the content of the Liang State diametrically opposite, the purpose is still to avoid being blackmailed by the Liang State.

Since it is a three-person division of land, with the direction of the land under the current occupation of Xian, no matter how it is divided, there must be a new prince who does not border the Liang State, but only one prince borders the Xian State, so the Liang State can only blackmail the two emerging princes to the greatest extent, but there is nothing to be done about the other.

At the same time, because the Wei Guo and the Xian State have almost negotiated, and even reached an agreement, the Xian State has divided some of the land of the Wei State, and the remaining ones that can be divided are bound to be limited, and the bottom line is involved here. The bottom line is not that there is no downline, no matter how many achievements are limited, it is impossible to blackmail without limits, whoever divides the fruit first will gain the most, and the last one will definitely share the least.

Once a reconciliation is reached, the military dissolution will inevitably form a political loosening, and once the defense comes to its senses, it will be very unfavorable to the Liang state, and the external conditions for the Jin state to send troops in the West Sea may no longer exist, and the military threat of the Xian state will also disappear.

Without these political and military constraints, Liang would not be able to threaten and exert pressure on the defense of the country, thereby blackmailing. At the same time, if the defense of the country does not disintegrate, the threat will be even greater. Therefore, Liang can only agree to the independence of the three kings and complete the negotiations as soon as possible, otherwise Wei Guo is very likely to give up the conditions for the three kings to stand on their own, and even lose the fat that has been obtained before.

It can be seen that Wei Guo's calculations are very clever, using the secrecy of diplomatic negotiations to isolate the information between the princes, even if the Xianguo spy is developed and the royal guest has vast magical powers, it is not possible to obtain top-secret information in a small area in time and in the shortest possible time.

This brings the first two problems, due to the lag of information acquisition and transmission, before peeking into the secret, Bai Liyan can only passively accept the script routines calculated by Wei Guo and Liang Guo, and because the calculation is very precise, even if the secret has been peeked through, there is very little room for choice.

Therefore, when Wei Guo proposed to stand on his own, Bai Liyan had already begun to be passive, because the conditions for military use of force and oppression were no longer available, and when he waited for him to get the news, and even discovered this plan through external representation, there was not much time left for him in the overall strategic situation and domestic adjustment, so Wei Guo's strategy had to be said to be extremely clever.

Once upon a time, Bailiyan always believed that he had five thousand years of historical experience and technological superiority in his previous life, and in the face of a civilization with a gap of three thousand years, he should have the strength to be absolutely crushed in terms of intelligence and ability.

However, in the past ten years of practice, it is not difficult to find that there is no difference between the "ancients" and modern people in terms of intelligence, and even they often fall into advanced misunderstandings and are induced by wrong ideas.

Moreover, there is almost no involvement in science and technology at the political level, all innovation comes from the renewal of ideas, and the change of political ideas must follow the existing political pattern to a certain extent, and it is impossible to change the whole world with an invention like science and technology, and change the existing political framework at will.

Therefore, modern political principles cannot be completely far-fetched and applied to the current political code of conduct, no matter how the concept is created, the current politics has only one purpose, that is, for the interests of the land and the circle. When it comes to these two levels, the options for modern politics are relatively limited.

Therefore, Bai Liyan's method is to use war to force political negotiations and give up part of the land in exchange for economic infiltration.

In this way, the occupied land could be digested in the shortest possible time, and at the same time, through economic penetration and modern commodity patterns, a larger market could be further controlled, and the Xian state could become a core production center, thereby controlling the princes economically.

When the territory is large enough, the population is large enough, the science is extremely developed, and the military strength is unprecedentedly strong, in the end, it will inevitably form a situation in which all interests revolve around the Xian State, and the princes' economy can only become vassals, and the final result is the economic unification of the territory, and then the political unification is forced, and at the same time, the advanced army exerts pressure to achieve the goal of completely unifying the princes of the Central Plains.

This process spans 30 to 50 years, and counting the more than 20 years of early development, it takes roughly 70 years.

As a result, Qin Shi Huang's instantaneous unification of China was avoided, which caused political malpractices and a vacuum of political power after the extinction of existing interest groups, and the negative effect of reshuffling.

At this time, the pattern of the Central Plains is quite similar to Qin's unification of China, the difference is that now the territory of the Central Plains is larger, the field of vision is enlarged to the world, there are axillary eyes in the north and Jin Xuedi in the south, and after Qin unified the Central Plains, there are Xiongnu in the north and Lingnan in the south, and the grim situation is the same, and even the current situation is more severe than Qin's unification of China.

Of course, Qin Shi Huang is not comparable to the current background of the times, the contrast of forces, and even science and technology. However, it is undeniable that the political power of the princes of various countries is still stubborn, and there are far more talented people than when Qin unified China, and the political groups of various countries in power have few mediocre talents but many capable people, and if technology, economy, and internal affairs are at the same level, and talented people do not have an advantage, it will be difficult for Qin to unify China.

The current situation is much more complicated than Qin's unification of China, the threat from the outside is far more terrible than the Huns who are still using bone weapons, coupled with the strength and stubbornness of the political forces of various countries, to exchange for unification at the lowest cost and the least sacrifice, this process can only be completed at the expense of time.

As a result, the powerful and talented political blocs of various countries have become obstacles that must be faced on the way forward for the country. Although technology and economy crushed the princes in an all-round way, based on the two major prerequisites of minimum cost and external threat, Bailiyan was tied hand and foot, and could not rashly kill, expand the scale of the war and economic pain, in exchange for political benefits.

Therefore, the goal could only be achieved by more moderate and docile measures, which created the illusion that the Xian State did not dare to swallow the Central Plains on a large scale at the political level, and then offended all the princes.

But in fact, for the sake of the overall situation, you can't do this. If he Baili Yan really wants to deter the princes, he can endure it for another two years, and when he has 300,000 guns in his hand, he can level the Jin Kingdom in one year and sweep the Central Plains in five years.

But for the sake of the overall situation, others don't see it that way, on the contrary, because of your wealth, strength and patience, you have become the object of their calculations, which has brought great obstacles and complications to the current political struggle.

Bai Liyan has to take care of more, and at the same time, it is impossible to take care of all aspects, when the manpower is always exhausted, as long as he is a little negligent, the still strong princes will have the opportunity to take advantage of you. At present, Wei and Liang are competing to calculate, why shouldn't they be too constrained by his thoughts, and take into account the situation caused by too much.

"Mr. Zongbo, the situation is like this, and Ben Shuai has to be cautious. But in the current situation, my country is obviously going to suffer, and my husband has a clever plan to help me solve this situation. ”

Baili Yan was very frank in asking for Zong Botai's opinion, but I saw him exhale slowly, quite a little depressed:

"Alas...... If someone else holds the power of the deputy marshal today, he will kill and conquer the world to determine the unification. However, the deputy marshal cares about the well-being of the world and kills carefully, which is really a good intention. ”

"Hehe......" Bai Liyan smiled bitterly, and then said: "It's not that I don't want to dominate the world in my lifetime, but the time is not allowed, and I can't try to do it." Otherwise, if you are a little careless, it will be a small matter to ruin the reputation of the first generation, and it will be a big matter to corrupt the foundation of the Xianguo country and even the fundamental matter of our human race, so you must not be careless. ”

"That being the case, Tai has a plan to break the current predicament. If the deputy marshal is relieved, he might as well go to Liang Guo in person, negotiate with Wei and Liang, and then ...... like this"

"Go to the army to plan, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city", at this stage of the war, Bailiyan has no intention of continuing to promote the war, and at the same time, it has no ability to expand the scope of the war on a larger scale. Based on this, Weiguo's calculations are quite clever, and Bailiyan just ignores the level of "cutting diplomatic relations".

Zong Botai suggested that he should rush to Liang immediately, precisely because he used Liang as the source of conspiracy, which was more convenient to shorten the diplomatic maneuvering time of Xian, and it was also easier to use the conditions for diplomatic envoys to gather Liang to carry out diplomatic warfare.

In a certain sense, "scheming and slashing relations" is the best policy for soldiers who surrender without a fight; although there will be sacrifices and bloodshed in the striage and siege of the city, it is undeniable that there is no military threat and war oppression, and there is no national strength to rely on.

Imposing a large penalty on the adversary at an appropriate cost of bloodshed, and then exchanging the maximum benefit through strategy and diplomatic manipulation is the only way to surrender without a fight. When it is impossible to achieve political goals by strategic and diplomatic means, military means must play their irreplaceable role as a last resort.

When the military threat to the opponent is sufficient, the situation will return to the level of political negotiations.

Therefore, a soldier who surrenders without a fight is not a "soldier who surrenders the people" without fighting a war and is not armed with weapons, but rather achieves the greatest military deterrent effect at the minimum military cost and provides a bargaining chip for political negotiations.

However, in modern times, many times in modern times, the soldiers who surrender without a fight are often misinterpreted by the incompetent bureaucracy as "convincing people with reason" and self-righteousness.

The invasion of foreign enemies is obviously because their own armed strength is not strong enough, and they still reason with others. Foreign ships bombarded your door, and you also said that it doesn't matter if the door is broken, you can repair it, but Li'er is that you are wrong, you have to apologize first before I repair the door, this is not stupid.
