Chapter 433: The melee begins

After Ruan Cairui consulted with the three kings, she had a number in her heart.

As long as the three kings can support her and have no worries, then this matter is feasible.

In fact, if it was really ruthless, how could Cao Guo and Lan Guo be Ruan's opponents?

Although, in terms of territory and population, after the two countries combined, there is also half of the appearance of Ruan, which can be said to be a very difficult bone to gnaw.

However, this is by no means the case of national strength.

The heritage of a country, the overall strength of the army, the generals and logistics, and even whether there are virtuous ministers in the country are all within the scope of consideration.

After the three kings retired, she began to ponder, and immediately sent an envoy to the frontier to summon several generals back to the court to discuss important matters.

About half a month later, the anxious Qu Dan was summoned by Ruan Cairui alone and mentioned the matter.

Qu Dan was both surprised and happy, but also worried.

Because in this way, although he could go back to deal with the Chu Emperor, it also brought new problems.

Such matters related to national policy are definitely not something that he can interfere with as a little young secretary, and all he can do is to go back and report truthfully.

So, will His Majesty be angry with him?

Qu Dan's heart was a little apprehensive, you must know that although the Empress Ruan was also a virtuous monarch, her daughter's body limited her achievements, and she had been in trouble for the past two years, and the implementation of the joint strategy seemed to be in vain.

At present, it seems that the best outcome is for each to allow itself to annex small neighboring countries.

"I'm Da Chu, I'm falling behind."

After sighing to himself, Qu Dan set out on his return journey.

When he learned of this, Chu Emperor Xiong Minne was silent for a long time.

Obviously, he knew that he had been caught by Ruan Guo and had to agree.

Because, the state of Chu can't wait any longer.

In the past two years, although the state of Chu has recuperated and resumed production, the situation has improved, but the lives of the common people have not changed, during one of his inspections, he saw with his own eyes the caravan of his country, transporting truckloads of grain to Cangguo, in order to exchange paper money, that is, Dacang coins.

Then, these cangyuan coins exchanged for grain were used to buy back luxury goods such as glassware and perfumes.

In the long run, what advantages can Chu have over Cang?

On the other hand, the Yun State next to it, although it also purchased luxury goods, but it is still mainly weapons, and the military strength has been continuously enhanced in the past two years, and it is said that the purchased weapons have been equipped with hundreds of thousands of troops, arranged on the border between Yun and Chu.

How can he not be worried?

"Does it have to be so? Haven't you fallen into the trap of the Cangguo? ”

Chu Emperor Xiong Minne of course knew that selling weapons and equipment to the neighboring countries of Chu was a ploy of Cangguo to muddy the waters, but he had no way to deal with it, this was a yang conspiracy, so he knew that it was a trap, and he had to jump into it.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Xiong Minne accepted the agreement and resolutely accepted the result in order not to be left behind by the development of Ruan Guo.

In other words, from today onwards, the state of Chu will also prepare for foreign wars.

Taking into account various factors, he decided to use troops on the fourth front.

First of all, the army attacked the country of Lei, and Chen soldiers on the borders of the country of Cai, Yun, and Xiang, mainly to deter and intimidate, and the country of Yun did not border the country of thunder, so it could not be supported, and the risk was much smaller.

Of course, he can't discuss the matter of preparing for war, although his control of the country has improved to a higher level in recent years, but on the whole, the nobles of the family still have a lot of influence, those nobles who are drunk and dreaming of death, are the most reluctant to see the war, in his eyes, those nobles do not have a sense of distress at all.

Almost at the same time, Nguyen Quoc also developed a series of plans.

The primary targets are Cao and Lan.

The difference is that the Ruan State did not fight independently, but allied with the Wei State and divided the theater of operations.

Ruan Guo is facing Cao and Lan, Wei is attacking Lin and Yue, as for a Wu country that is neither strong nor weak, it is to try not to provoke, because around the Wu State, there are also many small countries for it to annex.

……

"Did you fight......

In the Zichen Palace, in this palace that used the old name, Yang Mu lay on the rattan chair and muttered softly.

During this time, he has been thinking about how to completely muddy the already muddy water, and how to make countries fight.

However, relying solely on the strength of other countries, relying solely on the sale of weapons, can really muddy the waters.

I was worried about what to do next, but I didn't expect that Chu Guo couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to form an alliance with Ruan Guo, which was simply a joy from heaven, and when I wanted to sleep, someone took the initiative to hand over the pillow.

The state of Chu and the state of Ruan used troops at the same time, which is simply the best!

"No, you can't just let these two countries fight, it's too boring."

Yang Mu smiled slightly, and had a plan in his heart.

He hurriedly gathered the principal officials of the 12 ministries and formulated a set of plans for each country.

The main content was to get the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to strengthen arms exports to Wei, and at the same time tilt resources towards those medium-sized countries.

In this way, those medium-sized countries will be greatly stimulated and will also step up their annexation of the smaller countries around them.

Under all kinds of internal friction, there is a chance for Cangguo.

At the same time, he also asked the Ministry of Household to strengthen the storage of grain, build more granaries, and the Ministry of Commerce cooperated with the acquisition, so as to prepare to win a war to destroy the country.

Because, in the melee, Cangguo can take the opportunity to grab benefits, but after the melee, Cangguo will inevitably become the public enemy of various major powers.

Whether it is the State of Chu, the State of Ruan, the State of Wei or the State of Yun, they cannot tolerate him and ascend to the position of overlord.

This battle is a battle for the rebirth of the Cangguo Nirvana.

If it is not fought, Cangguo will not be enough to become a powerful country that has attracted worldwide attention, and it is not enough to embark on the road of chasing the common lord of the world.

In the 11th year of Taiding, February.

When the ice and snow melted and the sun shone on the earth, Ruan Guo first used troops against Cao Guo.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Guo joined the war group and formed an alliance with Cao Guo in an attempt to invade the hinterland of Ruan.

The instruments and equipment of Cangguo have performed very brilliantly in this war.

Although Ruan is a big country, in terms of exporting weapons and equipment and quantity, Cang has always been tightly controlled, and the amount of distribution is probably about the same as that of Cao and Lan.

So, a month after the start of the war, it turned out to be a tug-of-war.

This shocked the monarchs and ministers of Ruan, so they could only send more troops and continue to devote themselves to the big war against Cao.

After hearing the news, the State of Chu also began to increase its troops, and with the momentum of a thunderbolt, the edge was directed at the Thunder State.

In just two months, the Lei State was declared extinct, the monarchs and ministers of the whole country were captured, and all five million subjects were placed under the jurisdiction of the Chu State.

Immediately after that, it was Xiangguo again......
