The next day, Kong Shangxian's matter spread throughout the aristocratic class of the imperial city, of course, there were many officials who played and expressed dissatisfaction with this, but they were all suppressed by Yang Mu one by one.

As Kong Shangxian expected, early in the morning, the envoys of the Shen State hurriedly entered the city, brought generous gifts to visit the six major gates one by one, and then presented the edict of the Emperor of the Shen State, which was received by the Ministry of Rites and went to the Zichen Hall to meet him.

It turned out that the situation in Shen was worse than conjecture, the second prince of Zheng led an army of 30,000, pointing at the imperial city of Shen State, faintly encircled, and could launch an attack on Shen City at any time.

If half a month ago, Shen Guo would never have had such great hopes, but since the last defeat of Zheng Kang and the capture of 20,000 soldiers, Shen Guo's country was in an uproar, and his impression of Cangguo has changed greatly, and he has also placed great trust in this request for help.

Just like the students in the back row who have been doing poorly in their studies, they suddenly won the first place in the Olympiad competition, and everyone looked at him no longer with disdain, but thought that they could borrow me to copy it next time? I was able to pass just one question......

Yang Mu did not meet directly with Zheng Guo's envoys, but he had also learned some business negotiations, and the diplomatic game between countries should be similar, so he hung him in the side hall and let Kong Shangxian negotiate with him.

After negotiating some basic matters, Yang Mu personally summoned him.

I heard that the envoys of the Shen Kingdom came this time, not only prepared gifts for the nobles of the gate lords, but also sent a lot of things to the palace, not to mention the Queen Mother and the Queen, just dedicated to Yang Mu, the gifts are piled up as high as a hill, I heard that there is a pair of rare dragon and phoenix jade walls inside, and the entire Cangguo can't find such a rare thing!

Confucius said well, there are friends from afar, and it is very happy! There are friends from afar, and they also bring heavy gifts, and they should also welcome them by beating gongs and drums!

The envoy of Shen State is named Shen Yu, an elder in his fifties, he is the imperial uncle of Emperor Shen State, and he is also the prime minister of a country, which can be described as the second person of Shen State.

Yang Mu had already prepared, and immediately ordered the palm seal eunuch to take the jade seal, sign the marriage letter, and then hand it over to him to return to China.

Next, Shen Yu also went straight to the point, asking Yang Mu for help on the grounds of his in-laws and close neighbors.

As soon as you open your mouth, it is 10,000 elite soldiers!

"I'm afraid you're joking, aren't you?" Of course Yang Mu will not agree, 10,000 elite soldiers are 10,000 regular troops, which is equivalent to the total strength of Cangguo's active service, and it is impossible to send all of them to the battlefield of Shenguo.

Therefore, he sternly refused, and issued an expulsion order to send the envoy back to China.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, the foreign ministers are eager to save the country, and they are a little reckless, please forgive Your Majesty!" Shen Yu was terrified, of course he knew that it was impossible to let Cangguo send 10,000 elite soldiers to support Shenguo, but this was just a temptation, and the negotiation of diplomatic relations had always been like this, but he didn't expect that the emperor of Cangguo would not play his cards according to the routine at all, and let him go directly.

If he really went back empty-handed, he would definitely become the sinner referred to by Shen Guo's Qianfu, and more importantly, without Cangguo's reinforcements, Shen Guo would have been suppressed to the death, and he would not be able to breathe at all, unable to reorganize his forces to resist, and it would be a matter of time before the country died.

In desperation, he had no choice but to bow his head and completely obey Yang Mu's arrangement.

And Yang Mu's plan is also very simple, Cangguo will send 5,000 elite soldiers to support, and Shen will also pay 100,000 taels of silver and all the grain and grass, and promise that after the war, Cangguo can jointly mine Shenguo's iron mine.

And finally, he also expressed his meaning to the bandit mountains.

Bandit Mountains!

Shen Yu was frightened, the geographical location of the Bandit Mountain Range is special, it has great strategic significance, for decades, the three countries have thought about taking it for themselves, but because of mutual restraint, mutual demolition, coupled with the collusion between the aristocratic forces of various countries and the mountain bandits, smuggling grain, salt, iron and other materials, under the huge interest relationship, even after more than ten years of competition, in the end no one has pleased, so they have stopped this idea, for decades no country has attacked without authorization, maintained in a delicate balance.

And now, Zheng Guo and Shen Guo are facing each other, and their forces are all invested in the offensive and defensive war, and the gate valve forces in Cangguo have just been suppressed, and they can just attack the Bandit Mountain Range with all their might, which is a great opportunity that has not been encountered for decades!

In all fairness, Shen Yu would rather cede a city than hand over the throat of the country to Cangguo, but helplessly, now that Shen Guo asked Cangguo, he could only agree.

"Good, you're refreshed! I immediately dispatched troops and horses, attacked the Bandit Mountain Range, and then assaulted the Zheng army! "Yang Mu is overjoyed, as long as there is no intervention from the two countries, it is not difficult to get through the Bandit Mountain Range, as long as the Bandit Mountain Range is occupied, the strength of the Cangguo will inevitably increase greatly.

Shen Yu was shocked: "Foreign minister, dare to ask, does Your Majesty want to rush through the Bandit Mountains to help our country?" ”

Yang Mu nodded: "Not bad." ”

"Never! The foreign minister begged His Majesty to ask Cangguo to send troops to rescue him on the same day! "Shen Yu was shocked, it was already painful to let the bandit mountain range go, but if he couldn't get reinforcements in time, Shen Guo could destroy the country at any time!

In other words, there is no point in his envoy to Cangguo!

Yang Mu waved his hand: "Don't panic, I have my own plan to ensure that the reinforcements arrive in time, and give Zheng Jun a heavy blow to relieve the siege of Shenguo!" ”

"Foreign minister...... The foreign minister ......, "Shen Yu is lost and depressed, even if the bandit mountain range is not fought again, at least it will have to be delayed for five or six days, and when the reinforcements feel Shen Guo, the daylily will be cold!"

Could it be that the soldiers of Cangguo will not be able to fly?

But there was no way, Yang Mu had made up his mind, and he could only obey.

Next, the two countries signed a letter of state, and Cangguo promised to send troops within three days, but the route and command were all decided by Cangguo itself.

In the afternoon of the same day, an edict went out of the palace, and the six ministries were in full swing, the Ministry of Rites issued a political announcement, the Ministry of Household allocated money and food, and the Ministry of War mobilized soldiers and horses, and when the sun went down, the whole imperial city was boiling again.

Conscription!

Fight!

This news was like a drop of water splashed into a hot oil pot, which caused a huge repercussion among the people.

In the past, as soon as the news of the conscription and war was released, the whole country would definitely be in mourning, and thousands of families would wash their faces with tears.

But now it's different, after getting the news, the people actually ran to tell each other, smiling, and every household seemed to have encountered a big happy event!

As for the reason is very simple, since the promulgation of the meritorious lord system, many young people are eager to try, eager to join the army to kill the enemy, fight for a lord to be rich, and later came out with news, saying that the army can eat three meals a day, and every meal has fat meat to eat, if you perform well, not only can you be promoted to a knight, but you are more likely to be a general admired by thousands of people!

Generations of untouchables have finally waited for a chance for a carp to leap into the dragon gate!

If you are a soldier and fight, you will die, but if you don't go to be a soldier, what is the benefit of being a reed-like lowly grass farmer for the rest of your life?

It's better to fight to the death, before you die, you can eat a full meal every day, eat fat every day, and it's not a vain life!

Naturally, some people in the family are overjoyed to be soldiers, but those young people who want to join the army are worried.

The reason is also very simple, this conscription, only 10,000 people!

More monks and less porridge!

You must know that now the population of Cangguo has approached 700,000, and nearly 100,000 young and strong men are waiting to join the army.
