Chapter 513: Visit to the Martial States
The first head-on battle between Yunguo and the Vermilion Bird Army ended hastily.
In the end, Meng Huo still couldn't find a better way, and he chose the latter between being isolated and helpless and retreating to preserve his strength.
The news came out, causing countless sighs.
How much effort did Yunguo put into this territory? It can be said that he deliberately provoked a war with the Chu State, and also defeated the main force of the Chu State twice, and then firmly dragged a large number of Chu troops.
The contribution to the destruction of Chu can be described as the greatest.
Cangguo, it was only in the later stage that he used ingenious means, with equipment and means, to make great progress and pick up a big bargain.
Compared with Cangguo, Yunguo needs to expand more and needs land more.
It's like a very hungry man who has just swallowed a mouthful of meat, and is beaten alive and vomits.
Cangguo's Vermilion Bird Legion, this is on Yunguo's body, ripping off a piece of meat!
Of course, it is not surprising that the Yun Kingdom lost its territory and was beaten back to its original form, because the news that the Vermilion Bird Legion defeated the Yun Kingdom army in the first battle had already spread throughout the countries.
Once defeated, there will definitely be some price to pay.
Losing land is the price that Yunguo must pay.
What the countries are concerned about is not the defeat of the Yun Kingdom, but the heavy cavalry!
As one of the most popular arms in the past year, heavy cavalry is the most important branch of the army in all countries, more than the original cavalry.
The reason is very simple, the light cavalry is already very powerful, so the heavy cavalry that can easily defeat the light cavalry, isn't it even more powerful?
The purchase of heavy cavalry from Cangguo was even put on the top priority of various countries.
Before the collapse of the State of Chu, all countries placed a large number of orders from the Ministry of Commerce of the State of Cang, and the least Fan State placed an order of 50,000 sets, and surprisingly the Wu State, considering that the strong enemy was around, it made a big decision, almost emptied nearly half of the domestic grain and pig iron reserves, and ordered 200,000 sets of heavy cavalry equipment.
What kind of expectation is this?
It is equivalent to whether the hope of the whole country and the future of the whole country can change the fate of the whole country...... Everything is pinned on this group of heavy cavalry!
Originally, all countries were still looking forward to how to obtain the maximum benefits after equipping heavy cavalry, how to crush the opponent, and whether they needed to buy another batch of ...... In any case, the development of heavy cavalry among the countries has reached a state of intensification, like an arms race.
What's even more bloody is that to this day, Cangguo has only delivered a small part of the equipment, and most of the equipment has not been delivered because the time on the contract has not arrived, and the countries have declared war on Cangguo, so they are temporarily set up there, and there is no good way to deal with it.
Of course, for this batch of equipment, the Ministry of Commerce of Cangguo also made a statement, war has nothing to do with trade, even if countries declare war on Cangguo, those heavy cavalry equipment, there will be no less.
How ironic is that?
If this is a heavy cavalry on the battlefield and can dominate the country, will the Cangguo Kingdom deliver it to all countries?
Definitely not!
It is because it is not a threat to Cangguo, and it is even said to be the fat in Cangguo's mouth, so Cangguo will be so unscrupulous, which is equivalent to telling everyone loudly, I am not afraid of any heavy cavalry, it doesn't hurt to give it to you, if you send them to the battlefield to die, we will also laugh at it.
Suddenly, the countries were suffering and could not speak.
Especially the Wu State, the national strength was already weak, and most of the treasury was exhausted in order to fight a beautiful turnaround battle and no longer be bullied by Ruan and Wei, but I didn't expect that the change would be so sudden, and the 200,000 sets of heavy cavalry equipment would be equivalent to a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron!
After all, the Cangguo has the ability to seize the weakness of the heavy cavalry, and the rest of the countries can too!
At present, all countries have already inquired about the reasons for the defeat of the heavy cavalry of the Yun Kingdom through some channels, and it does not sound like there is any technical content, and these methods of restraining the heavy cavalry are very useful.
The hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the Martial Kingdom seemed to fall from the clouds to the bottom all of a sudden.
However, to the great surprise of the monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom, just a few days after the news spread, the Cang Kingdom sent an envoy to visit.
The envoy who came to Wuguo this time was a little special, it was Yan Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!
What does this mean?
Yan Hua, as a scholar, is only outside the two prime ministers, especially in terms of diplomatic relations, which is the absolute number one.
It can be said that if he is an envoy to Wuguo, then his status represents the will of the Emperor of Cangguo, and conveys the will of the Emperor of Cangguo first-hand.
This time, the monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom are very happy, and the visit of the important ministers of the Cangguo Kingdom is undoubtedly good news.
And precisely, what Wu Guo needs most is good news.
In short, things have taken a turn for the better!
In fact, Yan Hua's visit to Wuguo this time took a lot of effort.
Since Ruan and Wei had already declared war on Cang, Yan Hua could not pass directly from the two countries, but from Jin to Wei's borders, crossing through the desert area.
Of course, this is also the result of the acquiescence of Wei, in a sense, the six countries jointly attack Cangguo is a big plan, before launching a full-scale war, Wei does not want to be a bird, can only choose to turn a blind eye.
Besides, Yan Hua, this visit to Wuguo is indeed burdened with a heavy life, and now only Jin and Wu have not declared war on Cangguo, the former is out of strategic considerations, and it is possible to declare war on Cangguo at any time.
But the latter is a natural ally of Cangguo.
Because, Wu State was sandwiched between Ruan and Wei, and it was the object that both countries wanted to annex, and it happened that Cang State was not a neighbor of it.
At least, as long as Cang did not annex Jin and Wei, the two countries would not be neighbors.
And the annexation of these two countries......
I can't imagine it!
If there really is such a day, Cangguo will not be able to resist by the martial country.
Therefore, befriending Cangguo, for Wuguo, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
That's the biggest point of a long-range approach.
Even if he knew that Cangguo's purpose was not pure, but for the sake of national interests, the Wu Guo agreed to form an alliance with Cangguo.
This is the basis for the alliance between the two countries, and Yang Mu expected that Wu Guo had this intention, so he sent Yan Hua, the highest-ranking foreign envoy, to envoy.
Of course, Yang Mu also gave Yan Hua some privileges, such as promising some weapons and equipment and conditions to resolve Wu Guo's worries.
If you want the horse to run, the horse has to eat grass, even if the Cangguo is strong and does not give any benefit to the Wu country, then this alliance is not strong, and there is no trust between the two sides.
And Yan Hua's benefits this time can be called very sincere.
