Chapter 994: Verbal Battle

Emperor Dahua summoned his ministers to discuss the civil strife in the Kushan Empire to see if he could send troops to help.

After a short time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gathered together and gathered in the upper study.

When everyone arrived, Lu Bu couldn't help but say, "Ladies and gentlemen, just now the princess of the Guishan Empire, Saloli, came to ask for help. It turned out that there was a civil strife within the Kushan Empire, and King Posa led an army of 100,000 to rebel. ”

"King Posa bought a lot of generals, attacked the city all the way, burned and looted, and now he has besieged the palace of the Kushan Empire. You Aiqing can discuss, should we send troops to help the Kushan Empire? ”

After Lu Bu finished talking about the matter, the civil and military officials below immediately began to discuss.

The Kushan Empire has a close history with Dahua.

In the city of Nanjing, merchants of the Kushan Empire can be seen everywhere.

Therefore, this Manchu Dynasty is not unfamiliar with the Kushan Empire.

But after all, the two countries were too far apart, and they basically didn't know anything about the situation in the Kushan Empire.

In ancient times, winning people, eyes and patterns, were usually placed on one's own one-third of an acre.

Even if it is those heroes or heroes, what they want to unify the world is actually just the place where the Central Plains are located.

There is a saying in the Analects: All brothers in the four seas!

You see, the scope of this place is within the four seas, the Yellow Sea, the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea, and everyone is a brother.

If you go to sea, then it doesn't count.

Wang Bo has a poem: There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor.

Within the sea, we are all confidants, but out of the sea, it definitely doesn't count.

Therefore, the ancient concept of region is more or less like this.

The Kushan Empire, the distance from Dahua, is too far away, far away to the point that they don't care.

They didn't feel much about the internal strife in the Kushan Empire at all.

Soon, Song Yushi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that if it is not my race, his heart will be different. The Kushan Empire is a people from outside, and even if we send troops to help them, they don't know how to be grateful. Therefore, Wechen thinks that we must not send troops! ”

The military department Shangshu Xi Zhicai couldn't help but come forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Kushan Empire is located in a remote area, thousands of miles away from us. And we don't know anything about the terrain, customs, and combat effectiveness of the Kushan Empire. ”

"The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. Confidants don't know the other, one wins and one loses; I don't know who I am, I lose a hundred battles! Your Majesty, we don't know about Guishan at all, and there is a great danger in sending troops. Soldiers, the land of death and life, must not be observed, this is one of them! ”

"Second, the distance is too long, and logistical supply is a huge problem. If the logistical supply can't keep up, there is a good chance that we will be in a desperate situation. ”

"The emperor once said that there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies between countries, only eternal interests. We have spent a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources, even if we rescue the king of the Kushan Empire, in fact, there is no substantial benefit to us Dahua. ”

"No matter how chaotic the Kushan Empire is, it doesn't have much conflict of interest with me Dahua. Therefore, Weichen believes that troops must not be sent. ”

The drama has to be analyzed in a clear and well-organized manner, and there are good reasons.

After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, the officials nodded in approval.

At this time, the borders of Dahua and the Kushan Empire were not actually bordering.

The territory occupied by the Di people in the western part of the empire was not valued in all dynasties.

Even when there is a clear opportunity to capture it, they are not unafraid to capture it.

Why?

Just because the place was so poor, the rats had to leave with tears in their eyes.

After the occupation of such a bitter cold place, the state will still put money into it for relief, what will the occupation do?

If these regions are all opened, they will border the territory of the Kushan Empire.

But not now.

There is not even the slightest border on the territory, so what if they are in civil strife or not!

Regardless of the actual difficulty in sending troops, or from the analysis of the situation, Dahua has no reason to send troops.

Well, in fact, the layout of Guishuang is mainly operated by Jia Xu in secret.

Demons such as Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia, when the Kushan Empire came to ask for help, they may have guessed one or two.

The other ministers really don't know what's going on.

When Lu Bu saw the thoughtful look on Guo Jia's face, he knew that he must have guessed something.

Then, Lu Bu couldn't help but ask Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia pondered for a while, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that we should send troops!" ”

Rumble!

Guo Jia's words were like pouring a scoop of water in a boiling oil pot, and it was fried in an instant.

The hundred officials were immediately indignant, and even many ministers began to accuse Guo Jia.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bu slapped the table dissatisfied, and said sharply: "Okay, what kind of system is it that is noisy?" Bonghyo, you went on to say that you think you should send troops, so what is your reason? ”

Seeing the emperor's reaction, Guo Jia was even more sure of his opinion.

First of all, this matter did not react through the cabinet, and the princess of the Kushan Empire directly approached the emperor.

If the emperor is unwilling to send troops, he can directly refuse.

At worst, just go to the cabinet to discuss it, there is no need to call so many ministers.

In this case, it can only show one problem, that is, the emperor wants to send troops.

However, Xi Zhicai has obviously analyzed it just now, and they will not get the slightest benefit from sending troops, and there are still many crises.

Even if the emperor didn't think of these problems in advance, then after the drama was analyzed, could the emperor still not understand? Why do you have to ask yourself again?

It seems that the emperor wants to send troops!

Maybe even the civil strife in the Kushan Kingdom is the emperor's layout!

The emperor's intention to send troops must be to occupy the Kushan Empire!

Thinking of this, Guo Jia was also excited.

The emperors of the previous dynasties, no matter how great the emperors, were just the land of the Central Plains to unify them!

But now what the emperor wants is to continue to expand outward!

If the Kushan Empire is really won, Dahua's territory will be so vast that it will be beyond measure!

When the time comes, the emperor will be the first emperor of the ages!

And they, the ministers who come to meet at the right time, will also be remembered for eternity!

Thinking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the Guishan Empire and my Dahua have established diplomatic relations for more than ten years, and they have a close relationship. Now that the Kushan Empire is in trouble, how can we get out of it? ”

Without waiting for Guo Jia to finish speaking, Song Yushi couldn't help but say angrily: "However, if it is not my race, its heart will be different!" The Kushan Empire is a people from outside, do they know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are? ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "If the Guishan Empire wins people, they are all people from outside the country, and they don't understand what courtesy, righteousness and honesty are, then may I ask Lord Song, what have we become when we establish diplomatic relations with the Guishan Empire?" All these years, have we all been dealing with people who don't know how to win people? ”
