Chapter 660: Lin Shuying's state of mind
Lin Shuying denied Tian Xu's suggestion, but seemed to have realized that he had the opportunity to further attack Yan Guo. "Eight" "Eight" "Reading" book, .∞.o◎
There is one thing, whether the kings of the other vassal states understand, she is not sure, but she knows that in the vassal states, behind many Yan businessmen, there is often the shadow of the Yan State court.
These businessmen, on the surface, earn benefits for themselves, but secretly, they earn profits for the court. Otherwise, where will the money and food consumed come from when the Yan army is fighting in the south and fighting in the north.
More importantly, many businessmen under the guise of doing business constantly spying on the intelligence of various vassal states, forming a larger and more complete intelligence network in the Yan State in addition to the blood thorns, and often predicting the enemy in advance.
At present, although the merchants of Yan State cannot be expelled and do something like a fish dying and the net is broken, it is time to take advantage of the situation to knock and knock on Yan State.
Seize the opportunity to clear the blood thorns, take the opportunity to pull out a few Yan State Chamber of Commerce, kill chickens and monkeys, and the rest of the Yan State businessmen, if they perceive that the wind is not in the right direction, they will definitely sweep away by themselves, which will cause serious damage to the economy and intelligence of Yan Kingdom.
In this move, there is another meaning, the Song State is not a soft persimmon, the Yan State must pay the price if it wants to bully the Song State, and the deeper meaning is that the two countries of Yan and Song will benefit both sides if they are united, and if they are divided, they will lose twice.
Yan Guo made Song Guo unhappy, and Song Guo would not make Yan Guo happy, as long as they didn't go to war directly, they could retaliate against Yan Guo no matter how they wanted.
How to choose, Lin Feng makes his own decision!
By the way, it proves that the power of the Song State cannot be shaken.
Tian Xu was denied by Lin Shuying's suggestion, but instead of feeling lost, he continued to explain: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that you have thought about carefully, Yan and Song are both northern powers, and the two sides are secretly fighting, which is not conducive to the two countries.
The reason why Emperor Yan wooed Chen Zheng but did not attack directly was obviously very restrained. The Song Kingdom was surrounded by large vassal states, and it was necessary to exercise restraint.
At present, the Song State must not make any mistakes on the road to hegemony, so the economic blockade is the mildest but most effective way to weaken the power of the Yan State.
As long as the Yan Kingdom succumbs, the Song Kingdom will get the war horse sooner or later! ”
Lin Shuying attaches great importance to the matter of war horses, and she has her own ideas.
In the military, he has to rely on the three people present, the economic field, and her wrist to easily kill three people in seconds.
To put it mildly, no one in the vassal states has her economic means!
The so-called economic blockade seems to be a powerful means to counter Yan Guo, but in Lin Shuying's view, it is illusory and unrealistic.
In this era, it could not be implemented in its entirety, and even if it was forcible and had to unite with other vassal states, it was still only possible to blockade certain things, such as grain, war horses, iron tools, cloth, and so on.
To be effective, an economic blockade must be imposed in a given environment, such as a difficult situation in an adversary country, or in the event of a disaster, or in a situation of food shortage, which can have a surprise effect.
Otherwise, the vassal states were not very commercially developed, and the small peasant economy was serious, and as long as they did not reach the disaster year, they were fully capable of self-sufficiency.
Even if it is blocked, it is difficult to predict whether it will achieve the desired effect!
This year, the drought in the south was still severe, and the southern vassal states banned the sale of grain, but it did not seem to affect the Yan country at all.
On the contrary, Yan has just harvested in autumn, and it is another bumper harvest, and grain is definitely not a problem.
The two important strategic materials can be met by the Yan State, even if the Song State and the southern vassal states blockade the economy, they only have the opportunity to ban a small number of things, and they cannot seriously hurt the Yan State at all.
What's more, it will bring equal harm to the Song Kingdom, and the main thing is that he has the idea of attacking the merchants of the Yan Kingdom, and he will not seriously hurt the Song Kingdom.
After thinking about it, Lin Shuying once again denied Tian Xu's proposal, and said in a serious tone: "The economic blockade, how much impact it has on Yan State, how much impact it has on Song State, although we have a confrontation with Yan State, we can't do anything that harms others and ourselves, not to mention, if Song State expells Yan State merchants, it will inevitably cause Yan State to retaliate, and Song State will definitely be expelled by Yan State in the Yan State chaebol, and there will be also losses to Song State!" ”
Without much hesitation, Lin Shuying continued: "Jian Ye, forcibly collect the war horses in the hands of the chaebols, compensate with money and grain, and in addition, offer a high price reward to win over the people on the border of Yan and sell the war horses?" ”
War horses, training iron horses, is very important to the Song State and to her, however, Lin Shuying will never hurt the interests of the Song State because of the war horse problem.
Tian Xu was a little disappointed, he spoke twice, and was directly denied by Lin Shuying twice, he couldn't guess what Lin Shuying had to worry about, but if he didn't unite with the southern vassal states and implement an economic blockade, he couldn't think of any way to weaken the Yan Kingdom in addition to the war!
However, the three top strategists of the Song Kingdom present would never have imagined that Lin Shuying was very remorseful for tearing her face with Dayan too early!
It is not in the interests of the Song State to have a bad relationship with Lin Feng too early, not only is the matter of the war horse embarrassing, but there are other things that also make it difficult for her!
Since last year, serious drought has occurred in some areas of the Song Kingdom and many areas in the south, and if it continues to expand, the grain harvest will fail. Regardless of whether it is the Song State or the southern princes, they will be very seriously affected.
It is almost certain that many vassal states in the south are cultivating the cooked seeds of the Yan Kingdom, which will definitely affect the harvest of the year.
The plan came from Lin Feng's hand, but it was secretly implemented by the Song State and harmed the southern vassal states.
At the beginning, she simply felt that the Chen Songyan alliance was broken, and after the annexation of Zheng Guo, she didn't expect that Lin Feng did not hesitate to turn her face for fear that someone would destroy the Yan Kingdom's reward ceremony.
At this time, Yan Song tore his face, and at that time, Yan Guo only needed to spread the news that Song Guo secretly sold cooked grain to the southern vassal states.
With almost no effort, the Yan Kingdom would make the Song Kingdom the target of everyone.
If in the harvest year, the Song State explained clearly and compensated Wu Yue for money and grain, perhaps, there would still be a chance to preserve the Triple Alliance.
Unfortunately, it coincided with a disaster year, and food was extremely precious, and some places in the southern vassal states suffered from drought for two consecutive years and needed food.
If you know that there is a grain failure in a certain year, but you are secretly overshadowed by a trusted ally. The two allies of Wu and Yue will inevitably blame Song Yan, and Yu Yan will be beyond the reach of the whip, and all his anger will be vented on Song Guo.
The alliance between Wu Yue and Song broke down, and the power of the Song State was greatly weakened, and Wu Yue and the Song Society were incompatible.
At that time, the situation of the Song Kingdom will be even worse!
For a while, thinking of the cause and effect of the incident, Lin Shuying was secretly annoyed, only to blame Lin Feng for underestimating him, he was not shallow in the pit, and what happened at the beginning laid a disaster for the Song Kingdom.
The current crisis has not yet broken out, Wu Yue and Song will unite in front of Yan State, once the crisis breaks out, Wu Yue and Song will turn against each other, not only will not contain Chen State, on the contrary, they will attack Song State.
The more she thought about Lin Shuying, the more annoyed she became, at that time, Lin Feng told her about the seed, and she was secretly glad that she stopped Lin Feng from doing something unfavorable to the Song Kingdom in time.
Today, it seems that she still thinks things too simply, and despises Lin Feng's scheming, on the issue of seeds, Yan Guo has dug a pit early, and waited for Song Guo to jump into it.
Now, she is in a hurry to offend the Yan State prematurely, and ignores the situation on all sides of the Song State, causing the country to be surrounded by enemies, and she doesn't even have the opportunity to ask for help.
Moreover, the hazards that were previously latent are gradually being exposed.
I couldn't help but sigh that I had no beads in my eyes that day, and I mistakenly believed in Lin Feng, which led to today's disaster.
However, looking back on the development over the years, it seems that only when Chen and Song Yan united, the Song State benefited the most, and if it did not tear its face, half of the territory of Zheng State would be returned to the Song State.
Chen Songyan will go south and sweep the southern vassal states, and the strength of the Song State is thriving, how can there be a helpless move today.
The more she thought about her, the more she regretted it, thinking about the union of Chen and Songyan, the joy of the Song State successfully conquering the Liang State and attacking the city and plundering the land, and began to miss the days of the alliance with Chen Yan, hoping to find a favorable opportunity to ease the conflict with the Yan State.
Witnessing Lin Shuying being silent for a long time, Liu Zhuoya, Jian Ye and the others did not know the changes in her mood, they only felt that Song Guo's situation was very difficult and the situation had to be reversed.
At this time, I only heard Lin Shuying continue: "You are fully responsible for the matter of Jian Ye's war horse, Liu Zhuoya, send spies to closely monitor the movements of the south, and you must not take it lightly." ”
"Don't worry, the empress!"
The more dangerous it is, the more Lin Shuying doesn't dare to take it lightly!
After that, he continued: "Send someone to send a message to the front line, and order Meng Kuo Song Qi to fight against Zheng Guo, and there is no need to attack the city in Zheng State for the time being!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, the three of Liu Zhuoya were puzzled.
Even though Zheng Guo had a relationship with Yan State, and was supported by Yan State, Zheng Army began to counterattack, but the Song Army was in an advantageous position, and the good opportunity was fleeting, and the temporary truce would inevitably cause the Song Army to miss a good opportunity.
"The Zheng army is counterattacking, why does Your Majesty ask for a truce, isn't it worried about the Yan army!" Jian Ye asked, he didn't understand Lin Shuying's approach.
Lin Shuying had no words, no heart to explain to Jian Ye, she wanted to restore the former alliance with Yan State, if the money and grain could be solved, she would have sent someone to transport money and grain to Yan State, meet with Lin Feng in person, and restore the alliance between the two countries.
It's a pity that this is about the dignity of the Song Kingdom and the status of the country, and admitting her mistakes to Lin Feng is not conducive to her rule.
Therefore, he asked Meng Kuo, Song Qi to suspend the army, and Zheng Guo to consume it. In addition, according to the current situation, we will continue to consume Chen and Yan, and strive to keep the three kingdoms in a state of balance for the time being, and no one will want to get benefits or conquer the city.
As long as Song Guoan holds his confidence, according to Yan Guo's greed, Chen Guo is bound to win Zheng Guo, Yan and Chen will not be able to hold on for long, at that time, as long as someone proposes Chen Song Yan to unite, Song Guo will push the boat down the river, the three kingdoms will form an alliance again, and Song Guo will tide over the difficulties.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to ignite a war in Zheng Guo at this time!
