Chapter 488: Lobbying
Li Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and then felt a little strange. When he came, he arranged for Lin Yi to sit in Ningzhou, specifically responsible for the transportation of soldiers and materials, this matter is a heavy responsibility, it stands to reason that he will not leave Ningzhou easily, and make a special trip to the front line of the war, is there any emergency, must face himself to solve it? Thinking of this, Li Yi hurriedly ordered someone to invite him to come and meet.
After a short time, Lin Yi opened the tent door and walked in, and when he saw that Wu Xun was also here, he hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully saluted, and then sat down under Jian Zheng's head under Li Yi's arrangement.
Without waiting for Li Yi to ask, Wu Xun smiled happily: "Ningzhou has been goodbye for more than a year, which is really missed. I have long heard that Master Lin is very talented, brave and strategic, you came at the right time, we are not able to make up our minds about the matter in front of us, or please ask Master Lin to consider it to see if it is necessary for us to meet with the soldiers of the Qi Kingdom. ”
Seeing that Lin Yi was a little hesitant, Li Yi hurriedly briefly said everyone's opinions, and then said inquiringly: "The situation here is complicated, Wu Dashuai and I are both prudent, and we don't want to get involved in this dispute, I don't know what Master Lin thinks?" ”
Lin Yi looked at him for a moment, and said with a smile: "The lower official is here for this matter. ”
Seeing that everyone was surprised, Lin Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "It is indeed very risky to participate in this dispute. But all of you have probably seen the drawbacks, but you still can't know all the benefits you can get, so the lower officials made a special trip from Ningzhou for the sake of the interests of the Han Dynasty, in order to persuade you to use troops to conquer the country as soon as possible and obtain the benefits we deserve, or we can maintain peace in Yunnan and Zhenxiong for decades, so that we can have the strength to benefit the people. Otherwise, if the border between our two places is not quiet, how can we talk about devoting ourselves to the people's livelihood? ”
Wu Xun hesitated and said: "I also know that there are pros and cons in this matter, but if one is not well considered, it may cause us to bury the good situation, even if we want to maintain the current situation, we can't get it, this matter must not be rushed for quick success!" ”
Li Yi also echoed: "Yes! The situation here is complicated, no one has been able to achieve unity and peace for hundreds of years, and the various tribes are suspicious of each other, and there are attacks from time to time, so that they can sit together and live together peacefully. Although Uwe is eloquent, in my opinion, this land may not have a co-owner who everyone respects even after a few decades, and he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to volunteer. ”
"Alas! What's more, even if he can get away with subduing the tribes, it is not a good thing for us Han, and if we set up a strong enemy on the side of the couch, can we sleep peacefully? ”
Lin Yi smiled indifferently and said, "Although what the two marshals said is reasonable. But we have to analyze it carefully to find the crux of the problem. We all know that for hundreds of years, the sphere of influence has been only within a dozen states and counties, and the villages of hundreds of other tribes are just doing their duty of worship and fending for themselves. ”
"Occasionally, if there are a few villages and tribes resist, the king of the Qi will only intervene by force, if hundreds of villages rebel, then the king of the Qi will only bend to appease, and will never dare to mobilize the army to suppress it."
"Therefore, the crux of the matter is, even if Uwe defeats Puli, the king of Qiqi, and has a vast area of the Sancha River and the Liuchong River, how many tribes will sincerely join him? You must know that the so-called integration between ethnic groups is the most difficult thing in the world to do, and how much of a threat can such a loose alliance pose to our Han people? ”
"And we will not let Uwe sit on the throne infinitely, but only help him to occupy a few more pieces of land, and whether the other tribes can truly join him, or even merge into one, is something he cannot do in any way. So, what do we have to worry about? ”
While everyone nodded silently, Jian Zheng frowned slightly: "As Master Lin said, although the situation of our threats can be ignored, what benefits can we get from participating in it by spending soldiers and materials?" ”
"If we sacrifice the lives of our soldiers and spend a lot of supplies and get nothing, what are we doing this for?"
Lin Yi said with admiration: "General Jian asked well. The lower officials are here to divide the marshal and the adults, so that the two marshals can decide. The lower officials believe that there are three major benefits in front of us at present, and we have no reason to reject them. ”
Lin Yi saw Wu Xun and Li Yi nodding at the same time, so he continued: "First of all, when the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages want to compete with the Qi Kingdom, it is the time for my Han to make a difference. Uwei is worried, there are only more than 70,000 people in the nine caves and eighteen villages, if the heart of the country is annexed, it is really a little immeasurable, swallowing the elephant with a snake is not only vain, but also extremely risky, so it is extremely impossible to do. ”
"However, the treacherous conspiracy of Puli, the king of Qiqi, and Guile to blame others, not only did not succeed, but it was self-defeating, giving Uwe an excellent opportunity, which not only enabled him to climb the backer of our Han, but also had the opportunity to show his life's ambitions, and saw the greatest hope of overthrowing Puli, the king of Qiqi."
"In this way, he will inevitably start to implement it deliberately, and if we are involved, not only will we have the weight of victory in our hands, but we will not allow him not to make certain promises to us."
"Therefore, we can use this as an opportunity to get the most out of this dispute, but there is no doubt about it."
Hearing Lin Yi say this, Wu Xun asked puzzledly: "Master Lin, what I want to know now is, what is our greatest interest?" If it is unprofitable, not only will the soldiers not have the will to go to the soup and fight the fire, but the imperial court will not allow us to raise swords and soldiers. In the end, I am afraid that all we get is severe punishment. ”
Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "Wu Dashuai Mingjian." Uwe's ambition is not big, it's not small, and the country is his most direct goal at present. If you can help Uwe to occupy the territory of the Qiqi country, from Yunnan to the vicinity of Zhenxiong, there will be no hidden danger of turmoil. ”
"Truth be told, we don't have to doubt Uwe's ambitions at all, and his ambitions are limited to the Sancha region. If he is a threat to us, it is really a high opinion of him. With his current and future strength, that's just a dream. ”
"As for the benefits we can get, presumably Wu Dashuai also knows that between Zhenxiong and Gulin Avenue, there were black barbarians harassing and robbing from time to time, and Shu can use this place to drive straight into the hinterland of Zhenxiong from Gulin Avenue."
