There is a reason why it is said to be anachronistic.

On the one hand, Cangguo was confronting Sheng Guo, and the war was stalemate, and he couldn't draw too many troops to fight in Wei for the time being.

On the other hand, after two years of war, the Jin and its allies invaded the hinterland of Wei several times, encroached on large areas of cities on the Wei border, and annihilated the main force of the large-scale Wei army.

Victory is in sight, the fat has already reached the mouth, how can you be willing to give it to others?

No country would do the thing of letting others pick peaches, let alone the Jin State, which had coveted the Wei State for a long time.

But...... Is there a possibility that this was just a polite remark from the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom?

After discussing this speculation with the two Shang Shuyi, Yan Hua pondered for a long time, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom sincerely invited me to participate in the war. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Yang Mu wondered, Yan Hua has always been rigorous in his speech, either he doesn't say it, or he is a blockbuster, and he can always have some unique opinions, even if he vetoes it in his heart, he still decides to listen to it.

"The minister thinks that this move of the Jin State may really want our Cangguo to participate in the war, and also hopes that our Cangguo will send a Qilin army to the battlefield."

"You mean, Jin Guo...... Do you want to steal a teacher? ”

Yang Mu suddenly realized, but immediately felt that something was not quite right in his heart, and felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched.

Or the previous question, although the cavalry is tempting, but if you want to steal the division, you are not in a hurry, and exchanging land is not the only way, is the Jin State willing to use the hard-won territory in exchange for a chance to steal the division?

"Your Majesty Mingjian, my Dacang cavalry is alone in the world, and all countries have the heart to follow suit, however, hearsay is not as effective as fighting side by side after all, if my Qilin Army is sent to the battlefield, from the front of the Jin State will indeed lose, but Your Majesty don't forget, the Jin State is the hegemon, the strength is strong, and there is no problem in forming a strong force that is not weaker than the Qilin Army within three or five years, and this sacrifice is worth it."

"What else?" Yang Mu was a little interested, it sounded so interesting.

"Although the Jin State is big, but the plot is too big, divide the troops to attack several allies of the Wei State such as the Lan State, the Ping State, the Zhu State, and the Mang State, and at present, the Mang State and the Zhu State have been destroyed, and the Jin State must also divide the troops to garrison, if the small piece of land of the Wei State is handed over to us, it can still attack other territories, so there is no loss."

"In other words, the Jin Kingdom will give us this piece and then divide the rest of the territory with other allies?" Yang Mu nodded, understanding what Yan Hua meant.

"Not only that, Your Majesty, don't forget, we are also at war with Shengguo, and now Shengguo is powerless to compete with our army, and may ask Jin for help, and as the overlord, Jin doesn't want to sit back and watch my Dacang annex the two countries one after another and become another strong neighbor like Wei, so ......"

Suddenly, Yang Mu's eyes widened.

Yes!

How did you forget about Shengguo!

You must know that the border between Sheng and Jin has been intersecting for dozens of years, in order to maintain peace, Sheng and Dong have always been very firm in serving the Jin State as the overlord, and they pay a lot of tribute every year.

Even in this war against Wei, Sheng Guo openly stood on the side of the Jin State, and symbolically supported some swords and armor, so he almost didn't send troops to attack.

Such a country, the Jin State does not want to see it strong, but it also does not want to see it annexed by other countries.

Cangguo happened to violate the core interests of the Jin State.

"If it is really as we guessed, Jin Guo's move, one is to steal the division and take the opportunity to develop the domestic cavalry, and the other is to drag my Cangguo and let my Cangguo draw troops, and I have no ability to continue to use troops against Sheng Guo, so that Sheng Guo can relieve himself?"

Yang Mu thought for a while, and then said: "Didn't the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom think that after my Cangguo annexed the Dong Kingdom, even if it was only three hundred miles away from the southeast of the Wei State, it was still separated by the border of the two countries?" ”

Yang Mu questioned that the border between the two countries meant that even if part of the land of Wei was annexed, it would be impossible to exercise effective rule, and the so-called partition of Wei seemed to have become a joke.

"Perhaps, the Jin State has not thought about this problem at all, once the Wei State is defeated, maybe we will get a fortune, perhaps...... Maybe there will be a sword fight! Yan Hua's expression was solemn.

Swords against each other?

Yang Mu also agrees with this point of view, once the Wei State is destroyed, if the Cang State wants to develop again, it must become a competitor with the Jin State, regardless of whether it is a clear or potential opponent, the Jin State may strike first.

Although the Qilin Army is a cavalry, don't forget that between Cangguo and Wei, there is also a border between Mango and Cheguo, although there is only a small place, but now Mango has been destroyed by the Jin State, once the retreat of the Qilin Army is blocked at the Mango border, even if it is cavalry, it will not be able to cross the defense line and return home!

Without the Qilin Army, the Cangguo will definitely be greatly damaged, and its advantages over other countries will be weakened a lot.

The drunkard doesn't mean to drink......

"In that case, let's refuse." Yang Mu waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, you might as well listen to Lord Qin's performance first." Yan Hua bowed.

"By the way, there is also the matter of the Ministry of Commerce, the two of you came together, it must be related."

Yang Mu smiled, took the fold presented by Qin Changfeng, opened it and read it.

First of all, it is the current commercial operation of Cangguo, due to the complete annexation of Dong Guo, so the direct caravan route to the west has been opened up again, and the major caravans no longer need to detour through Yanguo, and then enter the territory of Cangguo.

This has greatly promoted the development of trade in Cangguo, and due to the suppression of several months, the procurement of several major commodities has shown a blowout growth recently.

In particular, the blank paper can be said to be in short supply, so much so that the Ministry of Commerce is preparing to change its strategy and build a market city in Shanyin County to move some goods over, so that the caravans of those countries in the west will not need to travel long distances to buy things in the future, at least saving half a month's time.

The desire for cooperation between the official and non-governmental organizations of various countries has also become more active, and in this atmosphere, the printing house has begun to publish the long-form masterpiece "Journey to the West".

"Hmm...... This seems to be an ordinary concert, there is nothing special, the Ministry of Commerce's proposal to open a trade city, I also support, I don't know what this has to do with the Jin State's invitation to us to participate in the war? ”

Yang Mu was really puzzled, this piece was very long and well recorded, and he had opened it for most of it, and he didn't see anything different.

"Your Majesty might as well go straight to the end." Qin Changfeng lowered his body and explained.
