Wang Jian's face was extremely complicated when he heard this.

He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and then sighed: "What you said is indeed very reasonable, if I am the king of Wu, I am afraid that I will not immediately send troops to the Central Plains!" ”

Indeed, whether it is the Liang State or the Jin State now, the strength is still very sufficient, and it is far from the time of exhaustion.

If Wu State is now on the Northern Expedition, it will not be an enemy of Liang State, but two enemies of Liang State and Jin State, which can be seen by anyone with some foresight.

Therefore, it is impossible for Wu to send troops to the Northern Expedition now.

Yang Wu will definitely let the Jin and Liang families continue to fight, so that the blood of the two families is almost lost, and wait until the two families are exhausted before sending troops, and only then can the most benefits be obtained.

And during this period, Wu Guo naturally will not sit back and wait for the development of the situation in the north.

Most likely, after capturing Jingxiang, Wu began to try to expand into Shuzhong!

At least, this is still relatively likely.

With Wang Jian's vision and strategy, he naturally would not passively wait for Wu to attack, let alone hope that Wu would sit back and wait for the situation in the north to develop after Wu captured Jingxiang, so what he could do was to stop Wu before he captured Jingxiang!

Wang Jian had originally planned to send troops to stop Wu's occupation of Jingxiang, but now after listening to Lu Yu's persuasion, his determination became even stronger.

However, he still asked with some doubts: "Lu Yu, it's not that I underestimate you, you have been an official in the Liang State for many years, but I have never heard that you still have such talents, and you can analyze the situation today and the strategy of the Wu State so thoroughly." So I think what you just said shouldn't be your own opinion, right? ”

Lu Loat nodded with a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch, and the foreign ministers naturally don't have such opinions, otherwise they wouldn't be so old to be just a Guangluqing." What the foreign minister just said is actually the opinion of the governor of our country, Lord Jing Xiang, and it was Mr. Jing who asked him to relay it to His Majesty! ”

Wang Jian immediately laughed when he heard this, "You can admit it so calmly, but you are also very comparable!" ”

Just now he was thinking, although Liang Guo has many talents, most of them are generals who are good at battlefield battles, but there are not many scribes who can have this vision, and the most famous of them is Jing Xiang.

So he was speculating just now whether what Lu Loat said was Jing Xiang's point of view, but he didn't expect it to be confirmed now.

Jing Xiang, as Zhu Wen's number one strategist, is now the governor of the Chongzheng Yuan of Liang State, which is equivalent to the prime minister of Liang State, and his reputation in the world is naturally great.

Therefore, Wang Jian also wants to know what novel views this world-famous and resourceful prime minister of Liang Guo has.

He immediately asked: "The state of Wu can threaten our country, this point Jing Xiang's analysis is quite reasonable, but the state of Jin is far away from our country, why can it also be regarded as the enemy of my Shu country?" ”

Lu Yu no longer concealed it at this time, but said to himself: "According to Mr. Jing, if the general trend today lies in Wu and Jin, this is not only because the strength of the two families is very strong now, but more importantly, the monarchs of both families are very young!" ”

Hearing the word "young", Wang Jian's face suddenly changed.

Indeed, no great man can compete with the passage of time.

And whether it is Zhu Wen or he Wang Jian, they are now old, and the era that belongs to them is gradually fading; And the Jin King Li Cunqiao and the Wu King Yang Wu are extremely young at this time, one of these two is only twenty-six years old this year, and the other is only twenty-five years old, if there is no accident, there is no problem in living for another twenty or thirty years.

And at that time, whether it was Zhu Wen or he Wang Jian, I was afraid that it would have been an ancient thing a long time ago.

However, the heirs of the two families do not have any outstanding people, whether it is Zhu Wen's sons or Wang Jian's sons, they are not family protectors, and they will obviously not be able to fight Wu Wang Yang Wu and Jin King Li Cunqiao in the future.

Wang Jian continued: "Even if Li Cunqiao and Yang Wu are still young, what does this have to do with the threat of the Jin State to our country? ”

"Your Majesty, although the strength of the Wu State is strong, the Wu army is all southerners after all, and they are good at water warfare but not horse warfare. If it is in the south, the Jin State is naturally not the opponent of the Wu State, but when it comes to the northern plains, the area that is conducive to the galloping of cavalry, I am afraid that the Wu army is not the opponent of the Jin army. ”

"So these two have their own strengths, if the two join forces to destroy our country in the future, no one should be able to help anyone in the next two in a short period of time. So wouldn't your country, which lives in Shu, become the best target for these two to compete for? ”

"In short, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries! If Your Majesty does not take drastic measures, it is very likely that the Jin and Wu countries will join forces to destroy our country, and then your country will have to face the Jin alone. Wu is threatened by these two great powers! Lu explained.

Wang Jian nodded and said, "When you say this, I really feel the need to start guarding against Jin and Wu now!" ”

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "That's it, you have come all the way to Shuzhong, but you have been rushing all the way to catch up with my frame, you must be tired now, so go down and rest!" ”

Although Wang Jian did not explicitly say anything about the alliance between the two cities, since he spoke to Lu Yu so politely, it was possible for the two alliances to come.

Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Lu Loqua's face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Then the minister will retire first! ”

After Lu Yu left, Wang Jian's face suddenly became gloomy: "Do you want to join forces to deal with Wu and Jin?" This Jing Xiang really deserves to be the first adviser under Zhu Wen, this insight is still very good, even after I heard it, I had to be moved! ”

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said to the eunuch beside him: "Order, let Zhang Ge and the others come to see me quickly!" ”

After a while, the prime minister Zhang Ge and several other scribes who had gone out with the army hurried to meet him.

What Wang Jian discussed with Zhang Ge and the others, outsiders naturally had no way of knowing, but a few days later, Lu Loat was told that Wang Jian had agreed to the proposal of the two alliances.

At the same time, Wang Jian also promised that the two families would jointly send troops to ensure that Jingxiang would not fall into the hands of Wu; Gao Jichang was to pledge allegiance to both Liang and Shu, and the two countries jointly guaranteed their possession of Jingnan.

Of course, the most important point is that Wang Jian guaranteed that once the Wu army invaded Jiangling in the future, then the Shu army would invest at least 50,000 troops to rescue; However, at the same time, Wang Jian also asked Zhu Wen to invest at least 50,000 troops at that time; At the same time, because of the remote terrain of Shu, it is more difficult to transport grain and grass, in order to facilitate the use of the army, the grain and grass of the Shu army will be responsible for Liang State.

These items seem like a lot, but in the end, they still want Jingnan to be a barrier between the two families.

What Gao Jichang didn't expect was that the reason why Jingnan in history could exist for a long time was because all the southern countries wanted to use Jingnan as a barrier to resist the pressure from the Central Plains; Therefore, whenever Jingnan faces the suppression of the Central Plains powers, the southern countries will send troops to the rescue.

Now that the situation has changed, Shu and Liang finally decided to join forces to use Jingnan as a barrier against Wu in the face of Wu's strength.

Although the situation has changed significantly, Gao Jichang has also taken on the task of separating the north and the south.

It's just that I don't know that Jingnan in history has successfully completed this task, so can Jingnan still survive in the gap between the north and the south confrontation?

……

In the city of Qianzhou, when the two great powers of Shu and Liang secretly reached an alliance and prepared to jointly block Wu's attack on Jingxiang, Lu Yanchang, who had just been officially appointed as the assassin of Qianzhou, was sitting in his study in a very depressed mood.

Lu Guangchou has been running Qianzhou for more than 20 years, and his prestige is still very high, coupled with the support of another veteran Tan Quanbo, so after Lu Guangchou died of illness, Lu Yanchang was successfully elected as the new Qianzhou assassin.

However, now Qianzhou belongs to Wu State after all, if it cannot be recognized by Wu State, then there may still be waves about the position of the assassin in the future.

Fortunately, just this afternoon, an envoy sent by Yang Wu, the king of Wu, arrived in Qianzhou and read out Yang Wu's edict.

In the edict, Yang Wu not only agreed to Lu Yanchang's inheritance of Qianzhou, but also agreed with Lu Yanchang to recommend his subordinate Liao Shuang to serve as the assassin of Shaozhou.

It stands to reason that the things that were originally worried have now been satisfactorily resolved, and Lu Yanchang should be happy, but things are not so simple.

After announcing the decree in the afternoon, Lu Yanchang held a grand banquet in the Assassin's Mansion to entertain the envoys of Wu, but what he didn't expect was that after the banquet, the envoys of Wu and Li Qiu, the commanders of the pro-army of Qianzhou, went in the same car, and even the two later entered Li Qiu's mansion together, and it was not until late at night that the envoys of Wu left their leave.

Who is Li Qiu? Although he is Lu Guangchou's confidant general and is in charge of the pro-army, his relationship with Lu Yanchang is relatively tense.

Now that he is a pro-army commander, he has such close contacts with the envoys of Wu State, how can Lu Yanchang be relieved?

"Although King Wu readily agreed to let me inherit Qianzhou, it is obviously impossible to say that Wu Guo does not have any coveting heart for my Qianzhou! Could it be that this envoy of Wu came this time, in addition to announcing the decree, also had another purpose? For example, secretly colluding with Li Qiu to let him launch a rebellion to drive me away? ”

"That's not right! That Li Qiu shouldn't be so stupid, if the people of Wu can't tolerate me, naturally they can't tolerate him either! If he is stupid enough to start a rebellion, it will only cheapen Wu Guo! ”

"It's still not right, that person Li Qiu has always been ambitious, even if there is no secret bewitchment from the people of Wu Guo, I am afraid that he also has the ambition to replace me. If you add the secret demagoguery of the people of Wu Guoren, who can guarantee that he has no ambitions? Lu Yanchang was thinking nonsense in his heart, but he couldn't make up his mind.

However, the fact that the envoy of Wu had such a close relationship with Li Qiu made him extremely vigilant.

"Anyway, this Liqiu is no longer credible. It's better to replace me as soon as possible, otherwise the pro-army has been controlled by him, and it will be difficult to sleep peacefully even at night! ”
