One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

As all countries know, the cooperation between the two countries is beginning to break down today.

Evacuating each other's envoys and cutting off contact, in this strange and unpredictable situation, it was like a scoop of water poured into a pot.

All countries have speculated about what kind of reaction the two countries will have next, whether to go to war or continue to maintain the current state, whether Cangguo will use troops externally, or start a war with Chu to break the current one-sided situation.

At this time, news also came from the State of Chu, and I heard that many nobles of the State of Chu were very dissatisfied with the decision of the Emperor of Chu, and asked to withdraw the decision and try to mend relations with the State of Cang.

Because once they break with Cangguo, their aristocratic life will be greatly affected, and the caravans in the family will also lose most of their economic resources, especially some small caravans that purely rely on trading with Cangguo, which will suffer a catastrophe.

The end of trade with Cangguo, the nobles of the family suffered heavy losses.

However, the Chu Emperor Xiong Minne was determined to break with the Cangguo, relying on his personal prestige and imperial power to suppress all kinds of opposing voices, and issued a strong decree to block the border pass and cut off the exchanges between the two countries.

In desperation, the caravan of Chu can only change hands through other countries, cooperate with other caravans, and then trade with Cangguo, although the cost is high, and the purchase volume is less than half, but finally all trade has not been cut off, and the big cang coins in his hand can still be used.

As a result, there was a very strange phenomenon, after the trade between Chu and Cang was cut off, the proportion of trade between Mu and Ruan rose in a straight line, and in just three months, it more than doubled compared with the past.

In August of the twelfth year of Taiding, the State of Chu launched a sudden attack, from the original territory of the Thunder Country, and suddenly attacked the Green Kingdom.

Of course, the green kingdom, which only has an army of 50,000, is not an opponent, and the monarchs and ministers of the green green country can only open the city and surrender, begging for a living.

The army of Chu State, which destroyed the two countries in a row and severely defeated Xiangguo, was of course full of pride, and used troops against Cai State, which had the tendency of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

But this time, Chu was a little overwhelmed.

Because, Yun Guo has just received a large number of weapons from Cangguo, and has received some logistical support, under the psychological influence of survival and death, all the surplus troops in the country have been put into the battlefield to rescue Cai Guo.

In the case of several successive failed attacks, Chu Emperor Xiong Minne had to ask the front army to temporarily stop the attack.

In fact, although the state of Chu destroyed several countries in a row, in terms of the scale of the war and the number of soldiers invested, it may not be as good as the battle to destroy Wu.

In the past, the reason why there was no such crazy annihilation was because the countries maintained a balance, and even the Chu State did not dare to act rashly, but now that there is no overlord, and a consensus has been reached with the Ruan State, none of the surrounding countries can pose a threat to the Chu State, and it suddenly seems that the Chu State army has a somewhat invincible taste.

The defeat on the battlefield of Cai State greatly increased the confidence of the surrounding countries, especially the Yun State, where the subjects were united in their hearts and clamored to form an alliance with the Cang State and work together to defeat Chu.

At this time, the monarchs and ministers of Chu State were really a little panicked, and after stopping the attack, they sent people to inquire in many ways, and only after seeing that Cangguo did not move, they put their minds at ease.

"Is there any hidden disease in Cangguo, or does the emperor of Cangguo just want to make money, or is there no enterprising heart at the moment?"

Chu Emperor Xiong Min Ne was a little confused, puzzled, in his opinion, if the Cang State really formed an alliance with the Yun State, then it was undoubtedly a matter of being evenly matched with the Chu State, such a great opportunity, the Cang State would let it be lost in vain.

It's counterintuitive!

After October, the Cangguo State did not move for a long time, and the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State relieved themselves and raised the strength of the whole country to attack the Cai State.

One attack and one defense, a tug-of-war was staged.

At the end of December, when the year was approaching, there was another news of the annexation of the State of Wei to the State of Lin, and then the State of Yue was unable to support itself, surrendered to the State of Wei, and was given the title of king.

A series of accidents caught the remaining small countries off guard, such as Ji and Ya, which are small marginal countries, with an army of only 100,000, and there is no dangerous city to defend, so after Yaguo took the initiative to surrender to Ruan Guo, Ji Guo had no choice but to submit to Ruan Guo, so he finally kept the temple and could be an idle king with peace of mind, and the nobles in the country could also earn some titles and be a master.

was picked up by Ruan Guo like this, and Mang Guo was suddenly unwilling.

Helplessly, the national strength is not good, and the Fan State in the south can't swallow it, so it can only continue to use troops against the Luo State.

Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp.

Between countries, bloody and cruel battles are staged one after another.

For those defeated countries, although they seem to be very sad when the country is ruined, the rolling wheels of the times are rumbling, and they will not spare you half a point just because you are a king or a nobleman.

On the contrary, they have to bear the weight that ordinary people can't bear, and the end is even more miserable than that of lowly civilians.

If you fall behind, you will be left behind by history.

War is raging, and this is a rolling world.

In the battle of the great world, the emperor who wins and the loser is a thief, the country is destroyed, the monarchs and ministers of the whole country can't even be thieves, and they go through the guillotine, and the success or failure is empty.

Among them, there are many six-hundred-year-old princes, and there are also many former powers, all of which were wiped out in the war.

In countries like Yue and Ji, it is already very good that the royal family and the nobles of the family can retreat with their whole body.

All kinds of mergers and conquests are still going on.

……

In the fourteenth year of Taiding, Yang Mu stood on the platform of forgetting worries, looking into the distance, looking at the prosperity of the city, and sighed.

In six years, this new capital of Cangguo has already dominated the world, and it is second to none in terms of openness and vitality.

Fan Hongji and Kong Shangxian stood on the side, quietly accompanying them.

"Ahem......"

Fan Hongji coughed a few times, and his rickety back trembled.

Yang Mu shook his head secretly and said with concern: "It's cool on the stage, do you want Aiqing to go back to the house to rest first?" ”

Fan Hongji waved his hand and gasped: "The old minister is in his prime, he is already dying, his body is rotten, his body knows by himself, Your Majesty does not have to worry about the old minister, today Your Majesty summoned him, there must be something important." ”

Yang Mu sighed and said: "Over the years, the affairs of the country have been pressed on the two Aiqing, but I have become a hands-off shopkeeper, and the two Aiqing are sick from time to time, which is my sin. ”

"Your Majesty is serious." Kong Shangxian was on the side, and hurriedly said: "Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries, the minister and the right minister are rewarded by Your Majesty, and it is our honor to serve the dogs and horses for the rise of the country, even if you damage some of the body, it is not a big problem, Your Majesty is the lord of a country, the life of the subjects of the whole country, you must pay attention to your body." ”
