After arranging all this, Yang Mu finally felt at ease to prepare for the alliance.

In addition to the countries in the camp of the Jin State, all those who had established diplomatic relations with the Cang State, he asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to write a letter of state, inviting the kings of all countries to come to the Cang State, meet in Cangcheng, and denounce the unrighteous actions of the Jin State.

Historically, the Great League has chosen a location that is more favorable to all countries, or the most prosperous place.

The reason why Yang Mu chose the country in Cangcheng also has some political purposes.

After all, Cangcheng is located in the east of the entire Cangguo, and if the kings of the various countries come to the alliance, they will definitely be able to see the many differences in the Cangguo with their own eyes.

In this way, it can also add some confidence to the battle of attacking Jin.

Of course, through some strategic research and arrangement in the past few days, he also figured out some things, and thought that this alliance could be successful.

Why?

A common purpose.

The Jin Kingdom is this common purpose.

In the past, when they attacked Wei, why did so many countries meet allies, but in the end there were few participants in the army?

It is nothing more than an uneven distribution of benefits.

Not to mention that there are some countries on the edge of Wei that have better relations with Wei, let's just say that the territory of many countries is not connected to Wei at all, which causes a lack of motivation, and there is no particularly good interest for Wei to attack.

Some southern states have also been friendly with Wei for generations, have no reason to attack, and do not want to destroy the peaceful environment, Ruan and other countries are closer to Wei, and their strategic intentions are obviously favorable.

This alliance was caused by the Jin State's annexation of the Son of Heaven Wangji and the disapproval of the world.

Cangguo was under pressure, so he took the initiative to unite all the countries to attack the Jin State, after the Jin State annexed the Dali Wangji, it is equivalent to the Jin State directly bordering many countries, and the Ruan State will not talk about it, just say that the Chu State and the Wu State are also difficult to sleep, once the Jin State is defeated, they can get benefits.

Once the countries unite and attack Jin together, even if the Jin army is in the millions, it can only be resisted.

At the critical moment, Cangguo acted as the vanguard again, using the advantages of cavalry and siege equipment to open a gap, waiting for an opportunity, and the army arrived in the territory of Jin to aid the coalition forces of various countries.

In addition, Cangguo has an excellent advantage.

That is, from the north of Cangguo deep into the Jin country, which is a plain land.

At the beginning, the reason why the Jin State was able to destroy so many countries and become the overlord of the hegemonic side was because this terrain helped a lot, and those small countries that were annexed had no danger to defend at all.

It is precisely because of this that the Jin State has always been based on expansion, and it does not allow any surrounding country to become strong, because it understands its own advantages very well and knows the truth that if you don't advance, you will retreat.

I remember that at the beginning, when Yang Mu participated in the alliance, he was still very puzzled why the Jin State was in a hurry to meet the alliance to attack Wei when the country was just stable, and he knew that he later figured out that it should be like this.

It's just that Cangguo was too weak at the beginning, and no emperor of any country said such things to him, even the Empress Ruan Guo laughed and didn't say anything.

"Kong Aiqing, the people's hearts of my Cangguo can be used?" Yang Mu asked.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?" Kong Shangxian was on the side, a little surprised.

Yang Mu sighed and said: "This time, my Cangguo Alliance attacked Jin for long-term considerations, and ordinary people don't know the trick, so they will inevitably think that the imperial court is desperate for military force. ”

"This didn't happen, besides, we have a sharp weapon called the Great Cang Times, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the people will understand the decision-making of the imperial court."

"Once the alliance attacks Jin, there will be no way back to my Cangguo, there is no turning back from the bow, it is very likely to be a protracted war, and even evolve to the situation that my Cangguo alone carries the overall situation, in recent years, my people have been enlightened, presumably someone will realize that once the war situation is unfavorable, there will always be some wavering voices among the people."

Kong Shangxian nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said is right, but the expected wind direction is completely wrong. At present, in the country, no one is thinking, how to defeat the Jin State, no one has raised doubts at all, this year my Cangguo has been properly governed, the people are warlike, the people are fierce, the whole country is united, and His Majesty has twice come to the battlefield to command, inspiring, the people are in their eyes, as for the future, let's talk about it. ”

Kong Shangxian said as he looked at Yang Mu, he really didn't understand, the people's will is important, but is Your Majesty a little worried?

After all, at present, all countries believe that the aristocracy of a country is the mainstay and the core of a country, and the so-called people are used to fight wars to fill human lives.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, if the war really drags on for too long, the Qi country will be disadvantaged." ”

"Oh?"

"The Jin State is a hegemon, prosperous and comfortable, without a sense of distress, it has not been a big defeat in a hundred years, and it has never been equal to any country, if we can Cangguo can hold on to it, the people in its country are more anxious, and the countries will also take the opportunity to attack the Jin State."

"That's true, and you really don't need to think about it for too long."

"The minister has a plan, and the most important thing Your Majesty should do at this time is to send the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and caravans to various countries to publicize the threat of the Jin Kingdom, especially some small countries."

"Huh? The meaning of the left phase is ......"

"It seems that Your Majesty has also thought of it. After the tide of mergers in the past two years, those small countries have realized the truth that the small country will be swallowed by others, as long as we use various channels to instill this kind of consciousness in it, when the time comes, Your Majesty will meet the alliance, and the small countries will definitely respond, and also hope to be able to bite off a piece of fat from the Jin State and expand their own strength. ”

"Good! This method is very good, if the alliance can be successful, this battle of attack and Jin is equivalent to half the success! ”

Yang Mu was overjoyed, and after having a direction, he immediately sent someone to arrange it.

……

On the third day of April, a battle report came from the front.

The Vermilion Bird Legion went deep alone, captured the Heyi Mountain Range, and approached Shengcheng.

It's just that the Heyi Mountain Range is steep, and it is difficult to escort heavy siege equipment such as catapults over, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Vermilion Bird Legion to advance much more in this half a month.

This is the disadvantage of withdrawing from the Xuanwu Legion and the Qilin Legion, without the rest of the friendly forces to respond, the Vermilion Bird Legion is greatly restricted from penetrating into the enemy's territory.

Yang Mu was speechless for a long time.

Then, an edict was issued, declaring that as long as the Sheng Kingdom could surrender, the interests of the surrendered nobles would be guaranteed.

At the same time, the Emperor Min Lei of Shengguo was canonized as the Marquis of Changsheng, and the Emperor Min Shanyi was the Marquis of Changlong, and on Guiyi Island, the land of the five towns was divided as the fiefdom of the imperial family.

Yang Mu also gave preferential treatment to Shengguo's soldiers, in addition to treating them as prisoners, he also promised to give each person an additional five taels of silver for settling-in allowance, and those who are willing to belong to the Cangguo army will receive the same treatment as the soldiers of Cangguo, and their families will also enjoy preferential treatment.

Those generals retain their original positions, and anyone who surrenders can be awarded a knighthood, at least a knighthood.

The general Deng Zhi will be canonized as a marquis and has the right to command the army.
