Chapter 216: It's Better to Prepare Early
Qianyi.
Just when the monarchs and ministers of the scattered country were thinking about how to deal with the Qin people who came to Guanzhong, the Qin people at this time were also on pins and needles.
After all, the monarch of the scattered country, Sanpan, has passed away, and Ji Zhao, the son of heaven, has succeeded to the throne. Although at the suggestion of the Qin people Yingkang, Liu Tong, the prime minister of the Sanguo, temporarily took over the power of the country, Yingkang knew very well that it was basically wishful thinking for Liu and an outsider to keep the power of the Sanguo all the time.
It is possible to be in charge for a while, but it is absolutely impossible to be in charge for a lifetime. What's more, Liu Tong's popularity in the scattered country is not very good, and the foundation is not very deep, so when Liu Tong temporarily took charge of the scattered country, Yingkang and his subordinates have already begun to plan for the future.
At this time, it was already early winter, and Longchuan in the north of Guanzhong was unusually cold in the morning and evening.
In the evening, Yingkang, Yingzhao, Zhao Boyu and others came to Yingkang's mansion early.
"Third brother, you guys are here, Ruoxi heard that you are coming over at night, so she specially ordered someone to stew wild yellow mutton for everyone, let's talk while eating!"
"Okay, okay, I'll just take this sip, do you have any wine?" Before Yingzhao could speak, Zhao Boyu asked happily first.
"Yes, yes, Ruoxi knows that you are drinking, and she has already prepared it for you." Ying Kang said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good!" Zhao Boyu shouted happily, "How can you talk if you don't drink some wine on this cold day?" With that, he walked to the back room.
At this time, Ruoxi, who had just prepared dinner, was walking out and almost collided with Zhao Boyu.
"Oh, I said princess, how long has it been since you were pregnant!" At this time, Ruoxi's stomach was already slightly bulging, and when she saw Zhao Boyu say this, her face turned red.
Ruoxi is the princess of the Kingdom of Qiu after all, and she is embarrassed to make some jokes, but Yingzhao is different, seeing Ruoxi's face flushing, she joked to Zhao Boyu: "If you want a child, is it natural for Yingkang to have a child?" They have been married for more than half a year, and they should have had children a long time ago. ”
"Yes, yes, it's like when I got married, and I was going to give birth to a cub back then." After all, the Qin people were born in the west to raise horses, and in addition to being arrogant, they also spoke very roughly.
provoked Ruoxi to go directly to his house without daring to deal with it.
"Look, just your mouth annoys the princess, right?" Seeing this, Yingzhao blamed him.
Looking at the departing Princess Ruoxi, Zhao Boyu looked confused, "Hey, hey---, look at my stinky mouth, why don't you know how to pay attention when you speak?" Saying that, Zhao Boyu lightly slapped a few times on his mouth.
"Stop pretending, let's go inside and talk!" Seeing this, Ying Kang said with a smile to Zhao Boyu.
"Yes, yes, come into the house and talk, come into the house and talk." Zhao Boyu walked into the house by the steps.
After entering the house, the three people sat down in front of the desk. Ying Kang then said to the two: "Third brother, Bo Yuan, do you know the news of the death of Sanguo Sanpan? ”
Ying Zhao nodded, "I heard that the death of the loose plate is really not a good thing for my Qin people!" We need to pay more attention. ”
After all, Yingzhao is an old and serious person, and of course he knows what it means to the Qin people when he dies at this time.
"It's really not a good thing, after I heard about it, I also felt that once the plate died, it would be really difficult for us to continue to stay in Longchuan." Zhao Boyu also said.
After listening to Zhao Boyu's words, Ying Kang deliberately asked, "Then in your opinion, what kind of difficulties will we Qin people encounter?" ”
Zhao Boyu knew that Yingkang was obviously testing himself, so after thinking about it, he said: "I don't understand the others that are too esoteric, but one thing is certain, that is, Ji Zhao, the newly succeeded monarch of the Scattered Kingdom, is not a good thing, he has always opposed the Qin people entering Guanzhong, and now that his father has died, he will definitely not have a good impression of us when he becomes the monarch, and he will inevitably have to talk to this guy in the future." ”
"What else?" Ying Kang listened and continued to ask.
"And? What else could there be? I can't think of it. "It's already very good for Zhao Boyu to come up with this, and it is absolutely impossible to expect him to come up with more.
"Since you are so worried, what should we Qin people do?" Ying Kang continued to ask. Although it is relying on Zhao Boyu, it is actually the practical difficulties faced by his people at the moment.
"What else can we do, we have to be prepared for everything, as long as they dare to come and invade us, we will fight them. Who is afraid of whom in war? For Zhao Boyu, that's all he can think of.
"You're right, these are basically the practical difficulties that the Qin people will face next. However, once the discarded plate dies, the practical difficulties we will face are not limited to these. Ying Kang sighed.
Subsequently, Ying Kang continued: "The scattered country at the moment of Sanpan's death is at a crossroads. In fact, this is also the crossroads where our Qin people are, one is that we must always pay attention to the pressure from the scattered countries to break off diplomatic relations. You are right, Ji Zhao, the new successor of the Sanguo Kingdom, has indeed been hostile to us Qin people. His coming to power will also indicate that the relationship between the Qin people and the scattered countries has turned into a trough. There is a possibility of severing diplomatic relations or fighting each other at any time. We need to be prepared! ”
"Master Sima, just rest assured, if it's just a military struggle, you can just leave it to me. Ensure that the scattered country cannot be found in the north. "Regarding the preparation for war, Zhao Boyuan's so-called commander has always been actively preparing for war.
"In addition to the preparations for war, we also have to make preparations for diplomacy, goods circulation, etc., after all, our Qin people came to Guanzhong, except for dealing with the scattered country and the state of Yu, there is not much contact with other countries in Guanzhong, once the scattered plate dies, these Guanzhong countries are likely to follow Ji Zhao and make it difficult for me Qin, we have to guard against it!"
This is actually a series of reactions, as long as it breaks off diplomatic relations with the scattered countries, the countries in Guanzhong will definitely not be good to the Qin people.
"Lord Sima is right, these are indeed things that we need to think about." Yingzhao has always respected his younger brother Yingkang's opinion.
"In addition to this life, we also need to think carefully about the safety of a person." Ying Kang then said.
A person's safety?
"We don't have any friends in the scattered country, so whose safety do we need to consider?" Zhao Boyu said in surprise when he heard it.
Ying Kang did not answer his question, but looked at Ying Zhao.
Ying Zhao thought for a while and said, "Is Lord Sima talking about Liu Tong?" ”
Ying Kang nodded, "Exactly." ”
"We want to help Liu Tong?" Zhao Boyu was even more surprised, "Liu Tong is not a good person, why should we help him?" ”
Ying Kang smiled, "Although Liu Tong is not a good person, Liu Tong still helped a lot in the matter of the Qin people stationed in Guanzhong. Now that Sanpanzi has died, Liu Tong is weak in Sanguo, and he needs our Qin people to help. Otherwise, it seems that we are not approachable, right? ”
"As soon as you say that, I also feel that I should help him, this person has indeed helped us a lot in our entry into Longchuan. But how can we help him? Do you want to send troops directly to the foot of the city and bring Liu Tong out directly. ”
After listening to Zhao Boyu's words, Ying Kang wanted to laugh a little, "You are good at everything, but you are too simple to do things." Dealing with Liu Tong's matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and sending troops is the lowest approach. Ying Kang said.
Then, Ying Kang looked at the dark sky outside and said slowly: "At this time, there should be results." ”
Listening to Ying Kang's brainless words, Ying Zhao and Zhao Boyu looked puzzled.
