The staff in Gongliangxiu's mouth is exactly the two people Zong Botai and Zhao Anling, and Bai Liyan has already asked the two before.

"To be honest, Mr. Zongbo and Mr. Zhao both said that it depends on how the envoys sent by the Wei State to the Jin State and the envoys of the eldest grandson to the Jin State fight. You also know that Jin Guopingtang is far away from Chenling, and it takes twenty or thirty days to come and go at the earliest, and the news will arrive in the first month at the earliest, where to wait for the first month now. ”

"Then you're worried that the Jin Kingdom won't send troops?"

"I don't think King Jin is so shameless as to tear up the alliance with the eldest grandson and refuse to send troops, but even if he doesn't work hard to send troops, it doesn't seem to matter whether he lobbied for the country or not. But the defense still sent envoys, so I think there must be another clue to it. ”

The Jin State is located on the coast of the East China Sea, separated from the Wei State by the Xian State and the Zhi State, and the Jin State has no reason to be involved in a direct conflict with the Wei State. The current situation is more like the method of Qin's long-distance and close attack, with heavy money to tie up the Qi State that is not bordering, to deter Wei and Han with force, to attack Zhao when Chu is weak, and to destroy Han and Wei when Zhao Nanding is exhausted and injured.

Today's situation Xianguo is more like Han and Wei in the past, regardless of technology and internal affairs, at least the geographical and diplomatic aspects are no different from Han and Wei. In the end, the Zhi and Jin countries were cut off, and the world could basically be determined.

However, the current territory and situation are far more complicated than Qin's unification of China, the prime minister of the Jin State is Fan Tao, Fan Tao will not be stupid enough to win the plan of long-distance friendship and close attack, not to mention that Fan Tao studied under Gongshu Kuo, and the method of inbreeding and long-range attack was created by Gongshu Kuo, and Fan Tao will not be tricked.

In view of this, Bai Liyan can only believe that the Jin State will definitely send troops, but the Jin State does not contribute to the troops, and there is no military difference between the result of not sending troops, so why does Wei Guo go to great lengths to lobby the Jin State, this is obviously unreasonable.

The group said as they walked, and then a bell faintly rang from behind them, and when they looked back, they saw that a fast horse was galloping towards the horse team, and immediately a knight had three red flags on his back, trying his best to drive the healthy BMW under his crotch, and shouted in his mouth:

"Hongling urgent, dodge!"

When the horse team heard the news, they retreated to the left and right, let the road pass, and the knight galloped all the way and continued to drive the horse to Chengling.

Seeing this, Gongliang Xiu hurriedly asked:

"Where is this Hongling urgent?"

Baili Yan's heart sank, and she said slowly:

"The Hongling urgent mail from Ganfu County should be done by Wei Guo. It came so quickly, and without waiting for the negotiations with the countries, he started first, and it seems that Wei Guo must have other followers. Let's go, go back to the city and find out. ”

Hongling Express is the Central Plains Express, all countries have a standing system, affected by horses and roads and different concepts, the form of Hongling Express is not the same. Xianguo benefited from many years of road repair and healthy BMW, every 40 miles to set a post station, the rider back planted three triangular red flags, the stagecoach wore a copper bell, along the way the pass is not allowed to intercept, day and night traffic unimpeded.

In winter, no snow can be closed to the road to run 1,500 miles a day, 1,000 to 1,200 miles in summer, and the news from Ganfu County can be delivered to Lingling within four days without accidents, and the delivery is unprecedentedly fast.

The reason why winter can be 3,500 miles longer than summer is still the climate. The southern hemisphere is hot in the north and cold in the south, so the more southern the horse has more endurance, the hotter the weather in the north, and the horse is easy to lose weight and even get sick when running at high speed, and the same is true in hot weather.

Jianbao is a monster, running at a constant speed for five or six hundred miles, and it is reasonable to place a post station for a hundred miles to change horses, but it must be compatible with the use of other stagecoaches, and can only be placed in a post station for forty miles.

In addition, after the opening of the postal service, the post station has more functions of the post office, and the horses and manpower of the post station have increased significantly.

The purpose of the opening of the post was to reduce the economic burden of the post station on the finances, so that it could change from negative assets to positive assets.

The post station is idle most of the time, forty miles to put a post station, the whole country needs to raise hundreds of post stations, each post station is less than two people more than three or five people, each post has seven or eight horses, the cost of a year is quite amazing.

After the postal service, not only the capacity of the post station in various places has increased, the income generated by the increase in mail and logistics business not only feeds the post station, but also feeds back the postal service for the purchase of Yongxing's four-wheeled baggage trucks, ships, horses, and rations for participating in logistics and transshipment, and can also expand more post stations and postal services, hiding the country's logistics strength in the people, reducing the financial burden, and activating a pool of stagnant post station economy, which has many benefits.

When the news had spread when he entered the palace, the Wei Guo army had started on November 18, and the news reached Ganfu around the time when Lu Jia arrived in Chenling.

King Xian was angry and annoyed by this:

"To say that the defense of the country is too arrogant, and he can't wait to negotiate with the princes, so he will strike first, which is really hateful."

"What my father said is extremely true, the defense of the country does not take the princes in his eyes at all, and I am afraid that in the future, no one will be afraid."

"Then the prince means to send troops to teach the country a lesson?"

King Xian questioned the prince, Jiang Yu was shocked and wondered what King Xian meant, so he did two things and said:

"It's really unjust to start a war lightly, and the retainers think it's better to be prepared."

King Xian was dissatisfied with the prince's answer, and said in a deep voice:

"Hmph, since ancient times, there have been righteous deeds of war seekers, the prince is so benevolent and righteous, and the widow is worried!"

"What my father taught me was that my sons knew that they were wrong."

The prince nodded again and again, and at this time Gao Xun said on the side:

"Your Majesty, since Wei Guo has sent troops, it makes sense for the prince to propose to prepare early. Wei Guo is the tiger wolf of the West Sea, and the Jin Kingdom is so restrained that he will not have the desire to devour the sky. However, the heart of defending the country is higher than the sky, and he is the first in the world in terms of force, and gradually has the ambition to annex the world. Now that the country is unreasonable, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not use troops against our Xianguo after today, and please ask the king to learn from it. ”

"Wei Guoxiao is a small widow who disdains to be with him, but at the moment, the overall situation is important, and the use of troops should be cautious, so let's wait and talk."

King Xian's voice fell, and Jiao Muhua entered the palace to report:

"King Qiyu, the Marquis of Yongxing has arrived."

"Ask him to come in."

"No."

When he was young, Baili Yan entered the hall and bowed:

"See the king."

"Aiqing is exempt, and the southward journey of the Jin Xuedi mission can be arranged."

"Back to the king, escorted by our forbidden army and the royal guest, after leaving the country, it will be escorted by the royal guest, and the road will be unimpeded and there will be no mistakes."

"It's reassuring to be so widowed. It's rare for a distinguished guest to come from afar, and it's a good start, and it can't be unfinished. ”

"What the king said is that if this transaction is successful, it will definitely bring closer relations between the two countries in the future and bring more benefits to our country. However, when the minister entered the palace, he heard that Wei Guo had sent troops, and the king could deal with it. ”

"The widow has instructed Promise Yiyan to negotiate with the Wei envoy, and ordered Lu Gao and Yongxingjun to negotiate with the envoys of the eldest grandson and the Jin Dynasty, but it has not yet come to fruition, how is Aiqing talking to Gongliang?"

"Back to the king, Gong Liangxiu did not reveal the details. However, the minister speculated that Wei Guo must have sent envoys to King Zhi and Gongliang at the same time to divide Zhi Guo. The current situation is treacherous, and I don't know what the eldest grandson has in mind, but he is still so calm and calm, and the minister suggests that I once again instruct my envoy to the eldest grandson to investigate the truth, and at the same time send a special envoy to the eldest grandson. ”

"Exactly. The matter was discussed by Aiqing and Nuo Yiyan, and an envoy was selected to report to the widow. ”

"Your Ministers obey."

It is a discerning person who can see that the combat power of the country is far stronger than that of the eldest grandson, but the defense of the country is as strong as a tiger, and the eldest grandson country is still slowly and leisurely with a casual attitude, which inevitably makes people unable to see through the plans of the eldest grandson.

At least Bai Liyan doesn't think that Changsun Guo is not self-aware, and he won't know that Wei Guo is an unreasonable thug. We can't always hold the mentality of the Central Plains Zhuqiang to mediate, sit back and wait for the catastrophe to come, there must be overlooked details that have not been discovered.

Exited the Guangyuan Hall and went to the State Political Supervisor, and met Promise who returned to the palace, and saw his gloomy face, Baili Yan immediately asked him:

"Why is Lord Nuo so pale?"

"That Lujia is extremely arrogant, and the official asked why Wei Guo sent troops, but he said that my king does not know the current affairs, and it is simply nonsense and unreasonable."

This Wei man has always been like this, not only arrogant, but also never reasonable. If Lord Nuo negotiates with him with a reasonable heart, he will inevitably be defeated by him, and he must not do so in the future. At present, the king is waiting in the Guangyuan Hall for a long time, and the lord can go to see the driver and explain the reason to the king. ”

Xianguo is still the orthodox princes of the Central Plains, and the norms of diplomacy still follow the laws of indoctrination and etiquette, and the other countries are roughly the same, but the five kingdoms of Wei, Chen, Zhao, Qi, and Yan were a prince in the early years, and they were the Liang Dynasty's barrier against the Western barbarians in the West Sea Continent, and they have been at war with the barbarians for many years, and naturally they have also developed a brute nature.

After the disintegration of the Five Kingdoms, the three kingdoms of Wei, Chen, and Zhao fought frequently with the barbarians, and inherited the mantle of brute nature, which has been deeply affected to this day, so the patriots have long been excluded from the edge of the Central Plains and are self-contained.

Lu Gao and Zhao Xun returned to the palace one after another, and the news they brought back was much the same, the eldest grandson and the Jin State did not receive instructions from their own countries and were still waiting. Ran Bailiyan knows very well that diplomats have pre-set response strategies when they are outside, and there are emergency plans for different levels of development. At this time, the two countries still did not let go, and Bai Liyan couldn't help but suspect that the eldest grandson and the Jin State had also done something.

On the third day after the arrival of the patriotic troops in Chenling, the news was published in the newspapers and periodicals, first, to stimulate Lu Jia's reaction, and secondly, to test the temperature of public opinion.

Although the feudal monarchy centralized system of war or not was not decided by public opinion, a large number of wealthy merchants and magnates were entrenched in the area of Chengling and Dujun. The political and economic system of Xianguo is no longer a traditional agricultural economy, and the mobilization level comes from agriculture in most cases, but now the three industries of agriculture and industry have taken shape, and industry is still in its infancy, but commerce is extremely developed, and overdeveloped commerce is not a good thing for the political pattern of frequency war.

Even if the war did not spread to the mainland, the merchants' investment risk aversion would still encourage them to flee to war-free and powerful regimes, such as the Jin and Song kingdoms, which were far from the centers of the war. Or if the Xian state is defeated, the wealthy merchants will flee to the defense of the country in search of new business opportunities and political status, which is not good for the Xian state.
