Chapter 476: Argument
Chu Emperor Xiong Minne was undecided and hesitated.
In the end, it was Qu Dan who made an excerpt, clarified the internal and external relations of Chu at this time, and said that the Chu Emperor Xiong Minne decided to put the second batch of 500,000 troops into the battlefield of Yun State.
Death or life!
Xiong Minne suddenly figured it out, once the Yun State was defeated, the Chu State would be able to gain huge benefits, even if it couldn't destroy the Yun Kingdom, it would be able to cripple the Yun State at the worst.
As for the Cangguo...... If there is really a large-scale invasion, it seems that these 500,000 more troops will not help much, and it is better to draw them from the surrounding garrisons at that time.
After all, it is possible for Cangguo to invade, it is also possible for Ruan, and it is also possible for Mang...... Instead of spending a huge amount of living forces to defend against it, it is better to concentrate on dealing with one country first!
In August, the battle between the state of Chu and the state of Yun was in full swing.
Thanks to the advantages of the canal, a steady stream of logistical materials and weapons and equipment arrived from Cangguo to Yunguo to support Yunguo.
A month after the two armies came and went, Chu also found out that something was wrong, and sent envoys to Cangguo to negotiate and accuse Cangguo of interference.
In this regard, Cangguo naturally responded strongly.
In Yang Mu's original words, is the emperor of Chu the overlord? By interfering in the trade of other countries, do you think that you are the Son of Heaven?
At this moment, Chu Guo was speechless.
But he didn't dare to completely offend Cangguo, and let the latter seize what kind of talk and take the opportunity to send troops against Chu State, it would be very bad!
Since it is a trade act, can the state of Chu also buy logistics equipment?
With this possibility, the State of Chu waged war with the State of Yun on the eastern border, and at the same time asked the caravans in the country to expedite to the State of Cang through the Grand Canal to purchase the materials needed for logistics.
This kind of behavior is extremely ironic in the eyes of all the businessmen of Cangchu and Chu.
Why?
Prior to this, the State of Chu had been transporting the grain produced by its own country to Cangguo to exchange for Dacang coins.
Now, with a big cangcoin, he spends several times the price to buy food!
What could be more ironic?
Fortunately, Cangguo has abundant reserves, but he doesn't care about such a little.
Moreover, as the center of the canals, Cangguo naturally acted as a transshipment center, and the grain of other countries, such as Ruan and Wei, could also be transshipped through Cangguo and sold to Chu and Yun.
Unconsciously, it seems that except for the Mang State that is secretly preparing for war, all the countries are trying to find ways to make war profits from the Chu State and the Yun State.
This also shows from the side that the heritage of Chu is indeed not blown.
In the successive wars, the two countries of Yunnan and Chu continued to clash.
Facing the Yun State with the support of the Cang State behind it, the Chu State did not want to fight a protracted war, nor did it dare to fight a protracted war, but only sought a quick victory.
For two months in a row, the state of Chu launched more than 30 large and small attacks.
There are defeats and victories.
In particular, the Runic Fortress in the east, which was originally an extremely large city, was abandoned due to the war and built into a fortress, and since it was occupied by the Cloud Kingdom last time, the area has become the main contention between the two armies.
More than a dozen cities around Fu Lisai were also included in the tactics of both sides.
People fled.
A war in which people on both sides were displaced.
Behind the two armies, there are millions of civilians who support logistics.
The people's grievances are boiling!
Not only the Chu State, but even the Yun State also had many people who couldn't survive and rebelled.
To a certain extent, in fact, the State of Chu and the State of Yun are similar, both have experienced a period of rapid expansion, and it is a very common phenomenon that the people in the country have no sense of belonging.
By the end of the year, the state of Chu had already shown a declining trend.
I can't move anymore.
Several rebellions in the country, there are the shadow of Cangguo, the voice of peasant uprisings one after another, and there are even slogans of the princely general Xiangning, those mud legs who have embarked on a desperate road, shouting slogans one by one, as if they don't want to die, wave after wave of uprisings and rebellions.
The counterinsurgency army had just been wiped out in one wave, and another wave had emerged.
The monarchs and ministers of the Chu State were very busy.
"It seems that it is time for me to go to Cangguo in person." Chu Emperor Xiong Minne's eyes were full of sorrow and unwillingness.
Standing next to him were Qu Dan and Jia Yi.
In the past year, it is fortunate that these two people have supported the pillars of the Chu State.
Especially Qu Dan, Chu Emperor Xiong Minne trusted him the most, because in the next half a year, it was Qu Dan who made suggestions again and again, negotiated with Cangguo, and got boatloads of supplies, which allowed Chu to not retreat on the front line because of logistics.
Jia Yi said: "Your Majesty, Cangguo's intention is nothing more than to consume the strength of my Great Chu and take the opportunity to weaken, so neither side can offend nor support, as long as my Great Chu can offer a condition that satisfies Cangguo, it will not be too difficult for us to come to Cangguo, why do you need Your Majesty to go in person?" ”
"Nope." Qu Dan immediately shook his head and said: "Your Majesty should know that although my Great Chu is in deep predicament, it has not reached the point of breaking my muscles and bones, as long as the war is stopped, the crisis can be calmed down in a few years, and the purpose of Cangguo is to weaken us, so I will not give up my intention to my Great Chu at this time because of the small profits in front of me." Therefore, although the minister knows that His Majesty's holy body is important, if he says that he wants to seek the country, he must ask His Majesty to go to Cangguo. ”
"Qu Dan! Your Majesty is the foundation of a country, what is your intention in instigating Your Majesty to go to Cangguo!" Jia Yi was furious.
"Old Jia, this is a curse, don't say more!" Qu Dan did not back down and said: "Your Majesty is certainly the foundation of a country, but if this crisis is not resolved, the Chu State will have an even greater crisis!" I, Qu Dan, am loyal to the Lord, and the sun and the moon can be seen, and I can't slander you with just a few words!"
"Humph! The old man told the truth! At this time, the frontier changes at any time, if you are not in the Chu State, how can you preside over the overall situation? After Jia Yi finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Emperor Chu and said: "Your Majesty, Cangguo must not go, the Emperor of Cangguo is good at strategy, his skills are extraordinary and unfathomable, in case of any accidents, Great Chu is in danger!"
Chu Emperor Xiong Minne was silent.
The recent situation of Chu is not optimistic, there are enough soldiers in the frontier, but the grain and grass are no longer enough, and the forcible collection of grain and grass in the people in the past few months is also a drop in the bucket, and it cannot solve the danger of the country.
On the contrary, because of the grain requisition, hundreds of people's families were destroyed, and the flames of the uprising broke out everywhere, leaving the entire Dachu full of holes.
"Hahaha! It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!" Qu Dan laughed loudly, then suddenly paused, and said sharply: "Cangguo is powerful, it has become a tiger and wolf, and it may attack my Great Chu at any time, Jia Gong will tell me, what else is there at the moment that can help Chu State survive the crisis?" ”
"We are nobles, we can ......"
"Ridiculous, ridiculous!" Qu Dan snorted and said in a deep voice: "Noble? Jia Gong still has the face to mention the aristocracy? Why is my great Chu's grain and grass insufficient? Why is there a lack of cast iron forged weapons? Isn't it you aristocrats, who arrived in the country of Cangguo by car, by boat? In Jia Gong's house, I'm afraid there are a lot of glassware, but they have moved to the front line to satisfy the soldiers!"
"You!"
"Jia Gong doesn't have to be angry, I, Qu Dan, have already put aside my personal honor and disgrace, and put life and death aside, even if I am hostile to you, what can I do!"
Jia Yi's voice stopped abruptly, only to feel that his head was dizzy, the sky was spinning, and after taking a few breaths, he pointed at Qu Dan, tears flowed from his eyes: "You...... You've changed ......"
"Jia Gong praises falsely, it is incumbent on him to serve the country and the people." Qu Dan's eyes froze, looked at Jia Yi, and said gloomily: "It's Jia Gong, who has not changed over the years, and he is still the wind of the gate valve, and he is dedicated to his family!"
