The capital of the scattered country.

Guojun Sanpan is thinking hard about how to reduce the food and grass given to the Qin people, after all, Sanpan is not a resolute and resolute person, and he has some scruples about doing things.

"Tell me that all of a sudden, we reduced the supply of food and grass to the Qin people without any warning, will this cause anything?" Sanpanzi said to Liu Tong.

"Yes, the minister is also worried about this matter? Although the crown prince has repeatedly said that the Qin people will become our henchmen, and they will collude with the state of Yu to plot to dissipate the country, but these are unfounded things after all, and the minister feels that he should still be cautious. Of course, Liu Tong didn't want to disperse the country and fell out with the Qin people in Qianyi.

"Prudent? Well---, widow also feels that he should be cautious. Loose plate said.

At this moment, Prince Zhao walked in, "Erchen pays a visit to the monarch's father." ”

"Well---, have something to say." Loose plate road.

"Father, my son got a tip, since the beginning of spring, tens of thousands of people have gone to Qianyi." Prince Zhao said.

A large number of people went to Qianyi?

After hearing this, he looked at Prince Zhao suspiciously, "What are they going to do in Qianyi?" ”

"Of course it's life, now that I've gone to Qianyi, of course I want to live somewhere!"

"Are all the people of Qu Qianyi from our scattered country?"

Prince Zhao shook his head, "Not necessarily all, but most of them are still the people of our scattered country." ”

"The people of my scattered country have gone to Qianyi?" After listening to the loose plate, his face was solemn.

You know, in ancient society, population and land were the two pillars to measure a country, and the current scattered countries have lost a lot of land.

To be honest, Liu Tong was also surprised when he heard the news. Although he was willing to cooperate with the Qin people in Qianyi, he would never allow the Qin people to dig up the roots of the wall of the scattered country, after all, he was still the Xiangguo of the Sanguo, not the Xiangguo of the Qin people. If there is nothing left in the scattered country, his Xiangguo will also be in vain.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Liu Tong said: "Your Majesty, the prince, if my guess is right, most of these people who go to Qianyi should be the old residents of the original Qianyi, right?" ”

"Well, what you said is right, most of these people who went to Qianyi were indeed old residents of the original Qianyi, but they were also the people of my scattered country anyway, if they were allowed to go to Qianyi on such a large scale, then why should we still have a foothold in Guanzhong in the future?" Prince Zhao said.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the original people of Longchuan continue to return to Longchuan again can only explain one problem, that is, they feel that the current Longchuan has stabilized, so they are willing to go home. Your Majesty, Prince, please imagine, who would not want to return to their homeland? This may seem like an accident, but it's actually expected. ”

After listening to Liu Tong's words, Sanpanzi nodded, "You're right, is it human nature to be nostalgic for your homeland?" ”

Originally, he came to complain, but he didn't expect his father to think that this was just human nature, which made Prince Zhao a little embarrassed, "Father, although this matter is human nature, but it is a huge loss for our people to lose like this!" ”

"Losses? How can this be called a loss? His Royal Highness the Prince, at present, Qianyi is still the territory of our scattered country! When one's own people return to their own territory, how can it be a loss of population? Liu Tong knew that the monarch had been shaken at this time, and if he was working harder, he might be able to change the monarch's impression of the Qin people, so he said to Prince Zhao.

"Qianyi is your own territory? My Lord Xiangguo, wake up, Qianyi at this time is obviously in the hands of the Qin people, how can it be said that it is our own territory in the scattered country? The current Qin people have regarded Qianyi as their own place, and letting the original people return to Qianyi again is actually competing with us for population. Prince Zhao finally couldn't help but say.

"Nonsense---, I told the Qin people well at the beginning, the purpose of their construction of the city in Qianyi was just to help us guard the border, and they had no other ideas." The loose plate finally couldn't help but yell at Prince Zhao.

The monarch's father was once again angry with the crown prince.

Prince Zhao wanted to return to his father, but in the end he endured it and stopped talking.

Seeing that Prince Zhao no longer spoke, Liu Tong said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it is basically impossible for the Qin people to use Qianyi as their territory. In order to own a piece of land, in the absence of war, the consent of the original state of the land must be obtained, and the agreement of both parties must be obtained, and finally the approval of the royal family. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, imagine that after so many procedures, even if the Qin people have this ambition, there is no such possibility! ”

What Liu Tong said is just a fact, but there are still many uncertainties under this fact, such as war. If one country forcibly occupies another country's place, there is no need to go through so many of the above procedures.

"Then what if the Qin people forcibly occupy our Qianyi in the form of war?" Prince Zhao asked rhetorically.

Liu Tong smiled: "This possibility is even more non-existent. Your Highness, just imagine, what are the Qin people? It's just a small tribe from the west, and its current status is also very low, and it is not recognized by the Guanzhong state. In the current situation, if they dare to occupy Qianyi through war, it will be tantamount to making enemies of all the countries in Guanzhong, including the royal family. Even if they were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to occupy Qianyi by force. ”

After listening to Liu Tong's words, Prince Zizhao's face became more and more ugly.

In fact, he knew in his heart that the Qin people's occupation of Qianyi or the Qin people's alliance with the State of Yu to deal with the Sanguo was nothing more than their own speculation, and there was no real evidence at all.

Prince Zhao's face was ugly, and Liu Tong still wanted to save a little bit of his face as the prince, so he said: "Although the Qin people don't dare to really occupy Qianyi through war at the moment, but the combination of Yingkang and Princess Ruoxi is really worthy of our attention, and we have to guard against it!" ”

This is actually equivalent to finding a step for Prince Zhao, and it is also equivalent to putting down the matter that Prince Zhao had strongly suggested that the loose plate should reduce the supply of grain and grass to the Qin people.

"Well, no one knows about it." Then he said to Liu Tong: "The matter of uniting with the Qin people has always been handled by you, you must pay more attention to the movements of the Qin people, and report to the widow in time if there is any situation, and we must not let the Qin people become a climate under our noses, and finally get it to the point where it can't be cleaned up." ”

"Your Ministers obey." Liu Tong replied respectfully.

At this time, the chamberlain walked into the main hall, "Your Majesty, Qin man Sima Yingkang will meet you." ”

See you in Yingkang?

Sanpanzi looked at Liu Tong and Taizizhao in surprise, "It's amazing!" We are talking about the Qin people, and this Qin people Yingkang is here! ”

"Your Majesty, please let him in and see what he has to say."

"Xuan Yingkang enters the hall." Loose plate commanded.
