Cao Zhan's words are indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

That's it! You Qin people can defeat Rong Di's invasion and keep the northwest of the royal family safe, but without practice, how do you know that our Ya Kingdom cannot defeat Rong Di's invasion?

What if our Ya Kingdom is stronger than your Qin people, and can not only defeat Rong Di, but also expand the territory of the royal family?

Facing Cao Zhan's words, Ying Zhao thought for a while and said: "General Cao is right, before there is no real sword and real gun to fight with Rong Di, no one dares to say big things." However, Rong Di's short sword and fast horse repeatedly went south at a very fast speed, constantly harassing the vassal states in the northern part of Guanzhong, causing many countries to lose their land, the people were killed, and finally had to flee to the south again and again, these things should also be known to the generals. Therefore, in desperation, the scattered country invited us Qin people from the far west to rush here to help them garrison Longchuan and guard against Rong Di. ”

Cao Zhan said with a smile: "It seems that Si Nong Ling still understands the situation in Guanzhong, but I still ask Si Nong Ling not to forget that although there are many countries in Guanzhong, their strength is different." Some countries have been chased by Rong Di and fled repeatedly, throwing away their armor; But there are still countries that have expanded their territories and grown in these troubled times. The same thing depends on the strength of the respective countries. ”

Look at what people said, although they didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of the words has been understood, that is, you Qin people don't want to compare our Yaguo with the scattered country. The scattered country was beaten by Rong Di all over the land to find teeth, but our Yaguo is different, not only have we not lost our land, but we are also constantly expanding our territory.

The subtext is that if you Qin people know each other, you should leave Longchuan quickly, so as not to look good when you meet with swords and guns.

But since the Qin people were able to come to Guanzhong from the far west, of course, they were not frightened, Yingkang listened to Cao Zhan's words and said: "In the past few years since I came to Guanzhong, I have also heard some sayings about Yaguo, and I heard that there were many wars between Yaguo and Sanguo in order to compete for the land of Longchuan, and there were victories and defeats between the two sides. I don't know why this land of Longchuan was occupied by the scattered countries in the end? ”

Ying Kang's words seemed to ask Cao Zhan about the past ownership of Longchuan, but in fact, there was still a taste of ridicule in it. Aren't you Yakuni blowing very hard? How could you have been entangled with the scattered country for so many years for the sake of a land of Longchuan?

And then the land of Longchuan was returned to the people of Sanguo, it seems that you are not very powerful!

After listening to Yingkang's words, Cao Zhan said with some disapproval: "As for the dispute over the land of Longchuan, it is just some old accounts, and there are still many unspeakable things in it. However, there is one thing you can rest assured, that is, as long as we are stationed in Longchuan, then we will definitely be able to protect the peace of the royal family's northwest border. ”

Ying Kang smiled faintly: "Since Lord Cao is so convinced of his own strength, how about we wait until the relationship between us and Sanguo is sorted out?" ”

The meaning of Ying Kang's words is also very clear, that is, although you Yaguo took the agreement between the two countries and said that you had already agreed with Sanguo and would come to take over the land of Longchuan east of Qianshui, but there was also an agreement between us Qin people and Sanguo before, and we can't just assign the land of Longchuan to you Yaguo without getting the confirmation of Sanguo.

"What's the delay, I've already shown you the agreement between Yaguo and Sanguo, and our Yaguo will take over the defense of Longchuan, which means that the Sanguo doesn't plan to cooperate with you Qin people, so you should quickly bring troops to Kailongchuan and go back to your dog hill. What are you doing with grinding and chirping? Although Cao Zhan is also a person with brains, after all, he is from the army, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush when he speaks.

After listening to Cao Zhan's words, Yingkang was not in a hurry, but smiled slightly: "That being said, after all, we Qin people also have an agreement with the scattered country, and in order to garrison troops in Longchuan for a long time, we have built a city here and taken in the people. Even if we leave Longchuan, the people here may not want us to leave? ”

Although Longchuan was said to be a place of scattered countries in the past, but after these years of governance by the Qin people, the local people have long regarded the Qin people as their benefactors, even if the Qin people are willing to leave Longchuan under the pressure of the surrounding countries, the local people may not be willing!

In ancient Chinese society, the rulers never took the people seriously, but when they needed to fight for benefits, the people were often used as an excuse for their own profits.

As long as it is beneficial to oneself, it will definitely be in the name of the people.

Cao Zhan laughed and said, "Hahaha, are the people willing?" What a good thing Master Sima said! The affairs of the world are decided by those of us who are in power, and when will we consult the opinions of the people. I don't think Master Sima wants to stay in Longchuan and not leave? Or is it deliberately making things difficult for us? "Since you Yingkang plan to use the people as an excuse, then I will tell you directly that you want to use the name of the people to rely on Longchuan Gate.

But since Yingkang can speak like this, he naturally has his reasons, so he smiled slightly and said: "It seems that the general despises the people very much, but I want to ask the general to build a person, an old friend." ”

How long has Qin Cai been in Guanzhong, and he actually saw his acquaintances here, and they are old friends, Cao Zhan couldn't help but be a little curious, "Oh, you said that you still have acquaintances and old friends here?" ”

"That's right!" Yingkang said with a smile, and then said to his subordinates: "Please Lord Liu." ”

"No---"

After a while, Liu Tong walked into the hall accompanied by his subordinates.

"Huh? How could it be you? Seeing Liu Tong, Cao Zhan asked in surprise.

"Why can't it be me? Was the general surprised? Liu Tong said lightly.

"Accident, it's really unexpected, aren't you the prime minister in Sanguo? How did you come to Qianyi? Cao Zhan didn't just ask.

"That's right, I'm not only the prime minister of the scattered country, but also the doctor of Qianyi, and the first monarch has rewarded the land of Longchuan as my fiefdom. It's normal for me to come around! Why does General Cao have questions? Liu Tong asked rhetorically.

When he was in Yaguo, Liu Tong used to be an official in the same dynasty as Cao Zhan, although he was not very familiar with it, but he still knew him. Now that the two of them are suddenly here and in this way, they can't help but be a little surprised.

"You say you're the prime minister of the scattered country? But what is the name of the prime minister of the scattered country that I saw in Yaguo last time? Cao Zhan couldn't even remember it for a while.

"You said it was Zhou Yao, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's called Zhou Yao."

Liu Tong smiled slightly: "Let me tell you this, there are several prime ministers in the current scattered country, although Zhou Yao is the prime minister at the moment, but the king has not removed me from the position of prime minister." In other words, Zhou Yao and I are both prime ministers of the scattered country. Moreover, the first monarch also gave me the land of Longchuan as a fief. ”

After that, Liu Tong took out the edict that he was the doctor of Qianyi and showed it to Cao Zhan and said: "You can also see clearly, the first monarch did reward me as the lord of Longchuan, and now the new monarch of the scattered country has reached an agreement with your Yaguo to rate the land of Longchuan, so that your Yaguo will come to attack my fiefdom, what is going on?" Could it be that Yakuni wants to interfere in the internal affairs of the scattered country? ”

After listening to Liu Tong's words, Cao Zhan, who was still sharp just now, was speechless.
