Chapter 280: Wangji's Change

This document is not the battle report of the three major legions that are attacking Shengguo.

It was written by Wei Zhongquan, the generalissimo of the Blue Dragon Legion, and sent back by Starry Night.

More urgent than the front-line battle report.

As we all know, before deciding to start a war with Sheng Guo, Cangguo made two preparations, deploying all the Blue Dragon Legion and the White Tiger Legion on the border, and even the Qilin Legion was ready to transfer at any time, and the civilian caravans were not allowed to pass on the cement roads at the east and west ends.

This fear, although it did not happen, did happen something much bigger.

The Jin Kingdom, captured the Wangji of the Dali Dynasty!

In other words, the Jin State did not intend to fight with the Chu State from the beginning, and staged a fake plan to destroy the state on the grounds of borrowing the Tao!

After getting the news, Yang Mu was speechless for a long time, and he couldn't believe it for a while.

Wang Ji, the Son of Heaven of the Dali Dynasty, is a very sensitive place, even if the feudal system has come to an end, and the Dali Dynasty has declined to the point that any country in the surrounding area can gnaw a piece of meat, but there has never been a country that dares to use swords without authorization.

Once, there was a Yao country, relying on force, disrespecting the Son of Heaven, and seized part of the territory of the Son of Heaven, what was the result?

This kind of behavior directly gave all countries a pretext, including the Jin State at that time, they all shouted righteous and awe-inspiring slogans, united as one, and directly destroyed the Yao State.

And the land lost by the Son of Heaven was also divided among various countries, and it was not returned to the Son of Heaven at all.

In desperation, the Son of Heaven had no choice but to issue an edict to canonize the land, and in the name of King Qin's merits, the land was divided into these countries.

Since then, no matter how powerful a country is, it will not dare to take the risk of trying to annex the Dali Dynasty.

Later, the overlord Jin Guo is also the defender of this righteous name, because if he wants to sit in the position of a down-to-earth overlord justifiably, the recognition of the Son of Heaven is very important, and it can be regarded as an alternative kind of respect for the king.

In this way, the Dali Dynasty survived in this piece of comfort.

After seventy or eighty years, the Dali Dynasty encountered the same thing again.

What people didn't expect was that this time it was the Jin Kingdom that had always supported the Son of Heaven!

When you say it, few people will believe it.

After reading the letter, Yang Mu sighed half-loudly.

The Jin Kingdom, the former overlord, is no longer willing to be the overlord.

Its ambition is to replace the royal family of Dali and become the co-lord of the world!

Of course, this so-called world refers to the entire territory of the Dali Dynasty, and in everyone's minds, the "heaven" owned by the other dynasties is not the same.

It was this change that made Yang Mu feel that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was not as stupid as he thought before.

Why?

At the beginning, everyone in the world thought that the Emperor of Jin would win or lose between two or two, even if he won the Chu State, he would not be able to completely destroy the Chu State, and he was destined to fall short because of poor logistics and equal strength on the front line.

Who would have thought that his initial goal was to annex the Son of Heaven and Wangji, and he worked hard to design and play the kingdoms around.

Yang Mu even suspected that those vassal younger brothers who sent troops with the Jin State were also deceived in the dark at the beginning, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger.

Even if this strategy was conceived by the courtiers, just saying that the emperor of the Jin State dared to admonish and dare to put it into action is not a mediocre person.

calming the surprise in his heart, Yang Mu began to think about the situation.

Although the Wangji of the Dali Dynasty was large, within it, it was also a kind of feudal system of scholars, that is to say, the Son of Heaven divided the land to his courtiers, just like the feudal kings in various countries, each secretary and doctor had private soldiers, which can be described as a real aristocratic power.

Therefore, in this atmosphere, even if the territory of the Dali Dynasty Wangji is relatively vast, but it is dull, the productivity is not very high, and many people flee to the surrounding countries every year, although the territory of the entire Dali royal family is comparable to Chu Wei, but the population is more than 30 million, and the national strength is weak.

Its army is even more unbearable, because there is no war all year round, and the economy is also tight, it is not known whether there are millions of soldiers.

This is the so-called accumulation of hard to return, under the double confinement of the ancestral system and the aristocracy, after the decline of the Dali royal family, there is no longer the ability to get up, even if there are a few ambitious sons of heaven during the period, they are like trapped beasts in the cage, and they can't be used.

The Jin State wants to annex Dali Wangji, which is as simple as the Cang State wants to destroy the Sheng State.

Even, because the Jin State has already entered the Son of Heaven Wangji with a strategy, it is like the millions of troops of the Cangguo State entering the hinterland of the defenseless Sheng Kingdom.

The annexation of Wang Ji by the Jin State is as easy as a snap!

Yang Mu estimated that the Jin State sent a total of one million troops from the inside to borrow Dao Wangji this time.

Under the surprise attack, it took ten days and half a month to completely annex Wangji.

During this period, there may not be any country that dares to come to the rescue, after all, no country has the strength to provoke such a behemoth as the Jin Kingdom.

Once the Dali Dynasty fell, then a large area of land, subjects, and wealth belonged to the Jin Kingdom.

Why did the first generation of the Son of Heaven establish Kyoto there?

It's nothing more than valuing the geographical location there, surrounded by passes, controlling the north and south, and the east and west are barriers.

The Jin Kingdom, which has this advantage, will grow into a behemoth in terms of geographical location and national strength.

Even if the two Chu States are combined, I'm afraid they are not the opponents of the Jin Kingdom!

Surge forward!

Yang Mu had a prediction that once the Jin State rose, the first person to be threatened would not be the Ruan State or the Chu State, but the Cang State.

As we all know, the east of Cangguo is the sea, and the south is the Yan country with inconvenient transportation.

For a long time, although the communication with the Yan country has been greatly improved, because the terrain is too undulating and there are poisonous insects and beasts, some southern caravans would rather walk a little longer than take the Yan country, so this passage is more used as a strategic means.

After the Jin State annexed the Son of Heaven Wangji, it was equivalent to blocking the western and northern borders and making dumplings in the Cangguo.

Even if Cangguo annexed Shengguo, it would not be able to change this situation.

Similarly, because of the existence of Cangguo, the Jin Kingdom is like a fish in the throat, and it is not unpleasant.

Judging from the map, as long as the Jin State also destroys the Cang Kingdom, then all its territory can be connected together, and no country can shake it, and under the gradual encroachment, it will one day be able to dominate the world.

Anyone can see that if there is no special situation, the Jin Kingdom will immediately take action against the Cangguo.

This contradiction is more serious than the technology that the Jin State coveted the Cangguo.
