Zheng Kang hesitated, he was not reluctant to give up his fiefdom, in fact, compared to the vast land of the entire Zheng State, what can two cities be counted?

As long as he ascends the throne, the eighteen cities of the entire Zheng State are his own, and when the time comes, he will be in power, and he can completely rely on the debt, he doesn't believe that Cangguo dares to send troops to ask for it.

Therefore, the thing he is thinking about now is, can he believe what the Emperor of Cangguo said?

"What's the matter, whether you agree to a happy word or not, I still have a lot of government affairs to deal with, and I don't have time to accompany you." Yang Mu was a little impatient.

Zheng Kang hesitated, his complexion changed several times, and he could see that his heart was very chaotic, he hesitated, gritted his teeth and asked, "Cangguo...... How can you help me? ”

"How about providing you with shelter at any time, even if you lose the battle for the position, you can save your life, and if necessary, we can send troops to help?"

"Prove it?" Zheng Kang raised his biggest concern.

Yang Mu glanced at him: "It's not the first time we've made a deal, you don't joke, if you don't believe it, you can also sign a covenant." ”

Covenant?

Zheng Kang shook his head, although he was anxious, but he was not confused, in front of the interests of the country, a paper covenant is nothing at all, and if this covenant is signed, it is equivalent to leaving the handle in the hands of others.

"Good! This prince agreed! As long as it can help me ascend to the throne, in addition to the ceded fiefdoms, I will thank Cangguo for one million taels of silver! Zheng Kang gritted his teeth, increased the size again, and glanced at it secretly, and after seeing the joy on Yang Mu's face, he was also relieved in his heart, and was sure that Yang Mu really wanted to cooperate with him.

Next, he also explained the situation in Zheng Guo's country and his inventory.

It turned out that in this half month, the army led by Zheng Han, the second prince of Zheng Guo, won an important victory, defeated the defending army of Shen in Pingxiang City, which bordered the two countries, beheaded 10,000, and captured three cities in one fell swoop, and its power was increasing day by day.

On this side, Zheng Kang, as the third prince, was captured by 20,000 troops because of his greed for merit, and he used the silver in the fiefdom to cede the city, which saved his life.

Who is superior and who is inferior will be judged.

It stands to reason that Zheng Guo's practice of giving the fief to the prince was originally a kind of experience and test, and the prince enjoyed a lot of autonomy in his own fiefdom, and the two returned cities were originally taken by him from Cangguo, and the court had no right to interfere.

However, after all, the matter of land cession and compensation involves the face of the country and the interests of most nobles, so some people are very dissatisfied, and rumors have spread in the court of Zheng Guo in the past few days, and even some nobles who originally supported the third prince have turned to the camp of the second prince.

Seeing that the throne was getting farther and farther away, Zheng Kang became more and more cold, if it weren't for the support of a strong matriarchal family behind him, even if he let him take all the 15,000 prisoners of war, he wouldn't dare to go back.

So, there was the previous scene, he was completely panicked, and remembered the military advisor who had always been looked down upon by him, after the last battle in the imperial city, he finally saw the weight of the military advisor's think tank, as if he had grasped the last straw, and wanted to bring it back and make suggestions for himself.

"Emperor Cangguo, since we are allies, can we let this prince meet with the military advisor?" Zheng Kang still did not give up his original idea and was full of hope.

Yang Mu shook his head, in the final analysis, the so-called alliance is extremely fragile, it is just a verbal relationship of interests, he would like Zheng Kang to be squeezed out by domestic forces, and then cause infighting, so that Cangguo can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

In the end, the disappointed Zheng Kang had no choice but to get out of the prison, clean up and dress up, and gallop out of the city in a carriage with the envoys.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to form an alliance with it?" Seeing Zheng Guo and his entourage driving away, Fan Hongji, the right minister, was full of worry.

"It's okay, it's just a strategy to mess with the enemy, cheer him up, cheer him up, and add more chaos to Zheng Guo." Yang Mu said, and said: "You send a spy to disguise yourself as a businessman and go to Zheng Guo to inquire about the situation, and you must find out what happened in Zheng Guo...... By the way, what other military advisor will bring him to the Zichen Hall in the afternoon, and I want to meet him. ”

"Minister, obey!" The right minister nodded, and then led his entourage to arrange things.

……

In the afternoon, Yang Mu was copying the abridged version of "Journey to the West", and the eunuch reported that Zheng Jun's military advisor had brought it.

Looking at it from a distance, this person is about thirty or forty years old, maybe he has been locked up in the prison for a long time, his hair is scattered, his face is haggard, and he looks very embarrassed, and he is pressed by the guards to kneel in the main hall, without saying a word.

"Strategist...... Hehe, your master left you and ran away, how do you feel? Yang Mu looked at him with interest, compared to Zheng Kang, this courtier has a lot more backbone, his expression has not changed after entering the hall for so long, he does not worship or worship, and he is very arrogant.

The military advisor snorted lightly: "There is Emperor Lao Cangguo to worry about, this is a private matter of foreign ministers, and there is no need for others to interfere." ”

"Oh? But I just intervened, he wanted to take you with him, but I didn't allow it. Yang Mu was a little interested in him, he had heard some deeds, and his plan was almost seen through by this person last time, if Zheng Kang listened to the advice, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"The minister is grateful." The military advisor said lightly.

Yang Mu was stunned, he thought that this military advisor would be furious, but he didn't expect to thank himself!

Brain show amused and don't want to go back?

Yang Mu said: "Come, you tell me why you want to thank me." ”

"Zheng Kang is not the master, he has already moved to kill the foreign ministers, this time he wants to bring the foreign ministers back to the country, it must be that there is a change in the court of Zheng Guo, he wants the foreign ministers to help him make suggestions to resist the suppression of the other two princes, but from the perspective of the foreign ministers, this person is absolutely unsuccessful, the general trend is inevitable, the foreign ministers are unable to return to the sky, he will inevitably be angry, and the foreign ministers will definitely die."

Yang Mu was surprised, he never expected that this military advisor would actually guess the changes in Zheng Guo's court, and he was neither humble nor arrogant in his words, and analyzed the matter so thoroughly.

You must know that he has been in this world for half a month, and he has seen a lot of people, and most of them are aristocratic officials, but compared to him, those people are like wine bags and rice bags, even the right minister Fan Hongji and the general Wei Zhongquan are inferior in terms of vision and overall situation.

Zheng Guo, is there really such a strange person?

What's even more ridiculous is that how could such a person be exiled, lost to Zheng Kang by Emperor Zheng Guo, and become a small entourage?

"How did you know that Zheng Guoguo was changing?" Yang Mu asked lightly, without moving.

"The family is in charge, and if it suffers from this change, it will definitely be counterattacked, which is the accumulation of Zheng Guo's shortcomings, and it is also the root cause of the country's demise in the future...... However, according to the speculation of the foreign ministers, this matter is also related to the Shen State, I am afraid that at this time, the second prince Zheng Han has already laid down Pingxiang City, if he drives all the way in, the day of destruction of the country is not far away. ”

Yang Mu was shocked, can this military advisor be able to pinch it? He knew that Zheng Guo's envoy had only met Zheng Kang alone, and had not been in contact with anyone else, and this person was able to deduce the things hundreds of miles away exactly with his own guess, and also predicted that Shen Guo was about to destroy the country, which was like a strategy.

Also, this person can break through Zheng Guo's shortcomings in one word, and he is so insightful, either he is a well-educated person who reads history books thoroughly, or he is a person who goes deep into the people and studies social and national conditions very thoroughly.

Otherwise, where does the confidence come from?

Yang Mu was in awe and decided to test it: "Sir, it's alarmist, the Shen Kingdom has lost for a while, the foundation has not been lost, and it is a bit too early to talk about the death of the country." ”

"Hahaha! Interesting! The military advisor laughed and said: "The emperor of Cangguo should not be tempted, he can not be afraid of danger, and put on a plan to lure the enemy to cause Cangguo to turn defeat into victory, so it is impossible for the king not to even understand this truth." ”

Yang Mu was embarrassed in his heart, he was enthusiastic that day, and he used a courage to put down a strategy, but now he is afraid of it, and now he is praised by others, which is embarrassing.

However, he really didn't know about some of the situation in Shen Guo, this is an irrefutable fact, after thinking about it for a while, Yang Mu sat down and said solemnly: "I don't know what Mr. has any opinions, please give me advice." ”

"I don't dare to teach." The military advisor arched his hand and said: "The terrain of Shen State is flat, the land is fertile, and the lakes and ditches are all over the place, the reason why it was able to fight with Zheng Guo has long relied on Pingxiang City as the front line of resistance, and now Pingxiang City is broken, and the rest of the cities in the country are the land of four battles, in the face of the Zheng army that is pursuing by taking advantage of the situation, it can only retreat again and again, if it continues to develop according to the current situation, Zheng Guo will be destroyed!" ”

The Land of the Four Wars?

Yang Mu fell into deep thought, his hand tapped, the so-called "land of four battles" refers to a place that is flat on all sides, there is no danger to defend, and it is easy to attack, if this is really the case in Shen Guo, then it will be dangerous!
