The alliance between the two countries is unusually fast.

Although there are major advantages of Cangguo, the urgent needs of Wuguo are also inseparable.

The successful formation of an alliance in just one day is a rare event in the history of diplomatic relations.

Hurry up, and the news of the successful alliance was delivered to Xincangcheng.

Yang Mu was watering the flowers when he heard the news.

He didn't have the slightest surprise, even very bland, not half happy.

Because, the conditions given by Cangguo are too generous.

is so generous that Wu Guo can't refuse at all.

And Cangguo, spending such a big price, just to bury a thunder.

He wants to make Ruan Guo and Wei State worry about the future, and always watch out for the Wu State behind, and even one day, this thunder will suddenly detonate and deal a heavy blow to Ruan Guo and Cangguo.

"What else did Wu Guo ask?"

"No, the monarchs and ministers of the Martial Kingdom are very satisfied with the treatment given by my Cangguo, and they are very happy to form an alliance."

"That's the appetite of a small country." Yang Mu continued to water the flowers.

"However, Emperor Wu raised the matter of exchanging protons and proposed that the two countries exchange princes."

"How did Yan Hua do it?" Yang Mu paused for watering the flowers and asked.

"Lord Shangshu verbally refused, and proposed to terminate the alliance negotiations, and finally the Wu State did not talk about this matter anymore, and signed an alliance and issued an edict on the same day."

"Hmph, little Wuguo, too greedy, how honorable is my prince of Cangguo, even a small country dares to mention it? Go and call Kong Shangxian over. ”

"Yes."

After a while, Kong Shangxian arrived.

"What are the actions of the Six Nations today?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the deliberations of the Six Nations seem to have stopped at the first step of sending troops." Kong Shangxian said, took out a document from his arms, and said: "This is a report from all major ministries, all countries have deployed troops, and they are even closer to the border of our Dacang, and it is expected that there will be friction soon." ”

"Is the border already in place?"

"The military department has been fully deployed, and the reserve forces are also stepping up the deployment, and with the strength of our country, it is not difficult to hold the main checkpoints. In addition, the Suzaku Army, which is fighting against the Cloud Kingdom, is currently stagnant. ”

"It doesn't matter, after all, it's the native of Yun Country, and the confrontation with Chu State has been experienced, and it's normal for the border pass to be a little more reliable, let the Blue Dragon Legion hurry up and transfer troops, and after dealing with the affairs of Chu, then move eastward, so that Yun Country has no room for anything."

Yang Mu said, and Kong Shangxian nodded.

Indeed, the strength of the Blue Dragon Legion, after a battle against the Chu State, can be described as a big increase.

First of all, in terms of numbers, there has been a big increase, and the 300,000 troop carriers have been transferred, plus the local rebel army of Chu has returned to the army, which has reached more than 900,000.

Although most of the rebel armies remained in various places to defend the city, in general, there were still more than 600,000 soldiers who could be conscripted.

Then, it's the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

There has been no war for many years, and those recruits in the Blue Dragon Legion have been trained through this war.

Let's just say that the 300,000 recruits who were transported by troop carriers, basically every soldier received a baptism of blood and completed a transformation.

As long as 300,000 troops are transferred to assist the Vermilion Bird Legion, what resistance will Yun Guo have?

"How's the logistics?"

"Tell Your Majesty, the household department has started to prepare for this matter early in the morning, and according to today's military rations, it can provide grain and grass for three or five years."

"Three or five years?"

Yang Mu's surprise was not that three or five years was a long time, in fact, in the past few years, Cangguo had stored a large number of strategic materials through foreign trade, especially grain and grass, and he was confident that after the war, the domestic grain price would not rise within three years.

But the number of "three or five years" in Kong Shangxian's mouth surprised him a little.

The difference between three and five years is huge.

It stands to reason that the household department will not give such a general figure.

"Why three or five years, and what are the variables?"

"Your Majesty, now that the number of people joining the army from all over the country is enthusiastic, Weichen thinks that once the fierce battle is in full swing, my Cangguo needs to recruit more soldiers, according to the current number, it is more than enough to maintain, and even seven or eight is no problem, but if there is a large-scale conscription, it may only be enough to eat for three or four years."

Yang Mu knew that Kong Shangxian was talking about escorting grain and grass, including stabilizing the country.

He smiled faintly and said, "Aiqing thinks that if the Six Nations attack the firmao, how long will this battle last." ”

"This ...... Weichen believes that the offense and defense are different after all, and it is the first time that my Cangguo has encountered such a big enemy invasion, and the time may be longer, and if everything goes well, the war can be ended in three years. ”

"Three years?" Yang Mu smiled and said, "Aiqing thinks that they can last for three years?" ”

"And what does Your Majesty mean?"

Kong Shangxian was very stunned, listening to His Majesty the Emperor's meaning, it seemed that he thought that Cangguo would definitely win this war, and he won the victory with a crushing momentum.

Isn't it, a little too ......

I have to admit that the army of Cangguo is very strong, every legion is comparable to the strongest army in the world, and no other country has a single army that can provoke.

But isn't that a little too confident?

At the moment of the great enemy, this kind of self-confidence is hidden.

Kong Shangxian thought about it, and felt that there must be something wrong with it, so he asked, "Your Majesty, our Cangguo ...... Is there any special deployment? ”

"Is it a special deployment...... Yang Mu was slightly surprised, and said, "Didn't I take you to see it last time?" ”

"Last time...... Please also ask Your Majesty for advice. ”

"Okay." Yang Mu pursed his lips and said, "Last time I went to the Ministry of Science and Technology with you, did you see some people tinkering with those black powders?" ”

"Your Majesty is right...... Phosphor powder? ”

Kong Shangxian had a slight impression, the last time he accompanied His Majesty to the Ministry of Science and Technology to inspect, he did see some people tinkering with powdery things, but he didn't pay much attention to it at that time, because His Majesty the Emperor seemed to attach great importance to it, and specially told the Ministry of Science and Technology to be careful, thinking of something particularly secret.

Therefore, he was just curious, and did not ask too much.

Could it be that it has something to do with that kind of thing?

"Phosphor powder is just one of the ingredients, it is not particularly important, now that the Ministry of Science and Technology has developed it, it is time to disclose it to Aiqing."

"Oh?"

Kong Shangxian was even more curious.

"Gunpowder...... Have you ever heard of this thing? ”

"Gunpowder...... Gunpowder...... Wechen has heard of it...... Hey, Your Majesty has been thinking about it a lot for a while, isn't it ......"

"That's right." Yang Mu laughed and said, "In the past, I always talked about gunpowder because this thing had a very big effect, but now...... It has been developed, and after the proportion, it will be applied to actual combat. ”

"Applied to the ...... of the actual combat"

Years of official affairs made Kong Shangxian feel that things were not as simple as he thought.
