On the one hand, according to the adjutant general's confession, the Cang army used a special army in this war, and its combat effectiveness was very fierce, and it directly killed the Sheng soldiers and abandoned their armor.

On the other hand, the Sheng army that retreated from Kanfeng City said that the general had taken refuge in Cangguo, and he also used a deceptive method to deceive several cities.

So, is the Cangjun too powerful, or is the main general Feng Zhonglong derelict in his duties and disloyal?

Who's telling the truth?

This made it difficult for the monarchs and ministers of Sheng Guo to make a choice for a while, and the successive bad news disturbed everyone's mood, and the officials below also had different political opinions and muddy waters.

It was also this great war that exposed the shortcomings of the partisan strife in Sheng's country, once defeated, the first thing the court thought of was not how to deal with it, but to determine the guilt first, in order to completely follow the way its own faction dealt with it.

Emperor Min Lei of Shengguo looked at the tall pieces piled up on the desk, and he was also anxious.

I flipped through a few books at random, and half of them were blaming each other, and the two factions handled them very differently.

The **** team has already hit the country, and these people are still busy suppressing dissidents!

Emperor Sheng Min Lei felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, the factional dispute has been a long time, after he took the throne, he reused Zhu Lixing and other civil servants from a poor family, resulting in the two factions not holding each other, originally there was also the intention of balancing the court, but now it has become a shackle.

The courtiers were busy with various factional struggles, and as an emperor, he still knew the severity.

At the moment, the most important thing is to block the Cang army that is attacking the city.

It's just that the Cang army, which has obtained almost all the grain, grass and baggage of the Sheng army, has captured more than a dozen cities, which can be said to be a great increase in strength, which army should be dispatched to meet the battle now?

First of all, the 400,000 troops in the border land adjacent to the Dong Kingdom must not move.

The forbidden army defending Kyoto could not be transferred.

The combat effectiveness of the local garrison troops is even more inadequate, and the effect of piling them up is not great, but they sacrifice their lives in vain.

Thinking about it, it seems that a huge and prosperous country can only be called upon by the 200,000 troops on the border between the north and the Jin Kingdom.

After thinking for a moment, Sheng Huang Min Lei stood up and looked at the map on the wall.

To the north of the country, there were 200,000 troops.

Speaking of these 200,000 troops, Emperor Sheng Min Lei was also worried, for the Jin Kingdom, if it really wanted to attack on a large scale, then it was not at all something that the 200,000 army could resist.

At the beginning, the northern border of the Sheng State was not completely bordered by the Jin State, but later the Jin State was strong and annexed several small countries in the middle of the two countries one after another, which led to the direct border between the two countries.

This put a lot of pressure on Sheng Guo, if this Jin State can successfully swallow Wei State and extremely vassal states, then the next step is likely to be Sheng State and Dong State.

It can be said that Shengguo is not easy at all now, which is why in the past few decades, there have been many fewer wars between Shengguo and Dongguo, because in the case of not being sure of defeating each other, the outbreak of a big war between the two countries can only consume their own national strength, and it is easy for Jin to take advantage of it.

However, at present, the Jin State is still using the strength of the whole country to attack the Wei State, and the border between the two countries is still peaceful, and it is still not a big problem to temporarily transfer the 200,000 troops to the southwest to fight the Cang State.

In the evening of the same day, Emperor Sheng did not notify the ministers of the court, but directly drafted a holy decree, asking a team of men and horses to go to the frontier with military talismans to transfer troops.

By the time the ministers learned of this the next day, the matter was a foregone conclusion.

……

On July 13, news of the defeat of the Sheng army reached Dong Kingdom.

Yang Mu's hanging heart finally let go, the Qilin Army really did not let himself die, worthy of the name of the Qilin, after this time to shine, I am afraid that the cavalry will be known to all countries sooner or later.

When the Dongguo Imperial Court heard about this, it immediately sent Prime Minister Yao Gai to Yang Mu's camp to congratulate him.

It's called congratulations, but it's actually a pull.

Through this battle, Cangguo proved its strength to the outside world, a country that can annihilate 300,000 troops, there is no problem to resist 500,000 troops, coupled with the rapid development of Cangguo's economy, it is enough to support a large army, so that this strength can continue.

Regarding the visit of the prime minister of Dongguo, Yang Mu was not surprised.

The emperor of the cave country is not a hero, he was blocked in the cave country for two months, the court of the cave country did not officially send a big official to come to visit, at this time the state of Cang won a big victory over the country, and then took advantage of the situation to send people out, it can be seen that his vision is very short-sighted, the pattern is very limited.

Yang Mu politely entertained Yao Gai, and repaired a book, so that he could hand it over to the emperor of the cave country.

On the third day, the emperor of Dongguo set off from the imperial city and drove to Los Angeles, on the border of Dongguo.

All this is just because Yang Mu mentioned one thing in that letter - to divide the Shengguo.

In the letter, Yang Mu made an analysis of the current situation in various countries, counting how Sheng Guo has bullied the Cave Country for hundreds of years, how it has encroached on the land of the Cave Country, and said that this is a good time to attack and destroy the Sheng Kingdom, and the Cang Kingdom is willing to work with the Cave State to carve up the Sheng Kingdom together, and then resist the threat from the Northern Jin Kingdom together.

Expanding the territory is the most coveted thing of every emperor.

Back then, even in the deep mountains and ravines such as Yanguo, the Cave Kingdom fought with the Sheng Kingdom to the death, and now in the face of the fertile and vast Sheng Kingdom, how could the Cave Country not have a mind?

Even if the current emperor of the cave country is dumbfounded, he can't help but be excited.

So, under the advice of the prince of Dongguo and several courtiers, the emperor of Dongguo put down his shelf and took the initiative to go to the border to meet with Yang Mu.

This move can be regarded as full of sincerity.

"Your Majesty, are we really going to go to war with Shengguo?" As the commander of the guard, Hu Xiao asked.

Yang Mu smiled and said, "Do you want to say that the current strength of my Cangguo is not enough to swallow the Sheng Kingdom?" ”

Hu Xiao nodded, and said: "Although Weichen is short-sighted, he also knows some of the situation of my Cangguo, after having the five major legions, my Cangguo is enough to protect itself, but if you want to attack the city on a large scale, you still have to pay a lot of casualties and costs, and it may be difficult to bear." ”

Yang Mu nodded and said, "You're right." However, you are ignoring a problem...... I ask you, is the emperor of the cave country credible? ”

Hu Xiao shook his head: "Although the minister is dull, he can also see that he is not the master." ”

"Definitely. A mediocre talent, if he wants to swallow up a century-old enemy with a momentary advantage, his appetite is indeed too great, and even whether he is determined to annex Sheng Guo is still a question, I naturally will not believe in such an alliance and trap my Cangguo in a quagmire. ”

"That ......"

Yang Mu pondered for a while, and said lightly: "Hu Xiao, you should know in your heart what my intention is in promoting you to be the commander of the pro-guard army, if you become a general on the side of the town in the future, you must remember one sentence." ”

"Your Majesty, please!" Hu was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground.

"In this world, there is not only one or the other, between countries, many things can be ambiguous, different aspects have different ways to deal with it, even allies will have competition, and the best way is the golden mean."
