"You have a good word, you have known each other for ten years, but you are much older." Yang Mu smiled.
"Your Majesty smiled." Kong Shangxian shook his head with a smile, and then quipped: "Although the face is old, but the ambition is getting closer and closer, throughout history, there are a few people who can be prime ministers in the year of establishment, and there are several prime ministers, who can assist in the rise of a country. Presumably, the right minister also feels this way. ”
As he spoke, Kong Shangxian looked at Fan Hongji next to him.
"Hehe......" Fan Hongji smiled when he heard this, stroked his beard, and said: "Thinking about the past, the minister also thought about the few acres of land in the family, how short-sighted he was, and now he thinks about it, he is really ashamed, and he will spend his life ambition and ambition in this great river and mountain, and the common people, so that he will not come to this world in vain." ”
Yang Mu nodded, and then said: "Okay, don't talk much, I summoned the two prime ministers here today to discuss important matters." ”
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Listen up."
Yang Mu stood by the barrier, looked into the distance, and said: "The countries are fighting, it has been four or five years in the blink of an eye, the poor and weak small countries have been destroyed, and the rest have fallen again, and the remaining few are also surviving, sheltering under my Cangguo, this pool of water, I am afraid that it will be clear if it is quiet again." ”
The two prime ministers nodded, and they probably guessed what Yang Mu was going to say.
Originally, this water should be muddy sooner or later, but because of Cangguo's strategy, it was infinitely advanced.
In the past few years, Cangguo has sat back and watched the war of the countries, committed to domestic development, sat and made war money, the treasury was full, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the little depended, the old people had support, the land and people annexed in previous years were also completely digested, the people's hearts were attached, and the cement road and track twisted the vast land into a whole.
Even the logistics of grain and grass, which used to be a short board, has long been not a problem.
Through the disguised plundering of the Great Cang coin, if the grain reserves of the Cang State can be said to be the sum of the Ruan State and the Chu State, it is not an exaggeration, and because of the development of agriculture in recent years, the annual grain output is also considerable.
The sword has been sharpened, just waiting to be unsheathed!
The two prime ministers understand this truth, but the general strategy of such a country cannot be explained clearly in a few words, even if they are prime ministers, it is not easy to make a decision all at once.
Yang Mu said: "Today, although it is already a powerful situation, it is also temporary, whether it is Ruan State, Chu State or my Cang State, as long as any side suffers a defeat, the situation will be turned upside down, and several surrounding countries will take advantage of the situation." ”
Kong Shangxian nodded: "Yes, the opponents of Chu are Wei and Wu, and the Yun and Mang are the Yun and Mang countries that hinder Chu. ”
Fan Hongji analyzed on the side: "In the past two years, Yun State and Wei State have a good heart to make friends with Cang State, and if their main opponent declines, they will definitely be able to replace them and become one of the new three powers." ”
Yang Mu sighed: "That's right, this is exactly what I am worried about, judging from the current situation between the countries, any country is the opponent of my great cang, even if it defeats either of the two, it will not solve the problem, but will make the countries uneasy and become the target of everyone." ”
"Your Majesty has not participated in the wars between countries in the past few years, so I guess I have always been worried about this matter." Kong Shangxian asked.
"There's really a big part of it." Yang Mu nodded and said, "However, it's not all. Think about it, how is the governance policy of Chu State better than that of my Cangguo? ”
"Naturally, it is far inferior, and the shortcomings of the nobles of the Chu family are destined to be their deaths."
"That's it, so over the years, watching him annex one small country after another, I'm not in a hurry at all, what can I do with annexation? Compared with the price paid, I am afraid that it will take ten or eight years to recover, and if the land obtained is not attached to the people, what is the difference between not getting it? Therefore, the territory of Chu seems to be much larger over the years, but its national strength has not increased much. ”
Fan Hongji nodded on the side and said: "What Your Majesty said is good, just like the Ruan State, although it swallowed the Cao State and the Lan State, but the restoration force in it is very huge, although the Ruan State has taken iron-blooded means to suppress it, but it is also losing the support of the people step by step, and the counterattack force of the Republic of Ruan is even greater, and I have heard that the combat troops of the Ruan State are currently guarding the local area, and it has reached more than 700,000. ”
Yang Mu said: "In the past few years, Cangguo has recuperated and its strength has skyrocketed, which may not be expected by any country, the two Aiqing said, if my Cangguo participates in the war at this time, how will Ruan and Chu react?" ”
"This ...... The minister thinks that it is still not suitable for my country to participate in the war. Kong Shangxian said.
"Oh? What does Aiqing mean by this? ”
"In the past few years, my Cangguo has maintained neutrality and does not go to war with any country, but it has also accepted the surrender of Xiangguo, and even Mu Guo has the heart of submission, and we warmly welcome it. But...... Your Majesty, don't forget that Cangguo pursues a strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, and the current goal is not to become the overlord of the alliance, but to do everything possible to contain several major powers, and then slowly swallow them, which is the right reason. ”
"I understand what Aiqing means, that is, I want to say that if my Cangguo wants to use troops abroad, I can't fight with Ruan and Chu, but I can't attack small countries, right?"
"Your Majesty is right, Chu and Ruan are the great enemies of my Cangguo, this is a fact that cannot be changed no matter what, it can only support a few small countries, such as Shao and Kang, Yan can also act as the southern barrier of my Cang, but the strength is slightly insufficient. The minister thought that except for a few small countries, he could form an alliance with the Mang State and the Wu State. ”
Mang and Wu?
Yang Mu pondered, these two countries are not small countries, they are only one line lower than Ruan and Chu, if they are attacked in the future, how can Cangguo be good?
Of course, the so-called counterattack is not a direct attack on Cangguo, but in case it unites the two great powers and conspires to attack Cang, it will be very bad!
In the past four years, the subjects of Cangguo can be said to be completely incomprehensible to the changes in the situation in the outside world, but in Yang Mu's eyes, it is nothing at all.
In Chinese history, wasn't it just a few decades from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period?
Of the hundreds of countries, only nine remain in just two hundred years, and most of them are concentrated in a few decades, all of which have perished.
Therefore, in the same way, Yang Mu knows that there is no absolute ally, just like during the Warring States Period, which country was not swaying from side to side? Changing positions?
Just like the previous Wei State, although a large amount of land was annexed by the Ruan State, but under the overlapping interests of the two countries, they quickly formed an alliance and blended oil in honey.
Yang Mu was also worried about this. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
