In fact, the allies of each association come to the meeting with joy, but whether they return happily or with defeat depends on how much benefit each king can fight for their respective countries in the alliance.

Outside Luoyi, Chen Guoxingyuan camp is brightly lit.

Chen State, extremely far away from Zheng State, separated by Song State, this time the alliance, Chen State was earlier than Song, Zhao, Yanjin and other big countries, arrived early.

If you are not a Chen Guoren, you are diligent and fast, but you are really helpless to call Wang Dugu.

Considering the geographical location of Chen and Song and the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Chen took the lead in responding to the call of Northern Zhao and announced that he would send 100,000 troops to attack Song from the east.

However, with the development of events in the north, the Yan State recruited Chu Shu to join the Zheng State Campaign, and after changing places in different places, it almost single-handedly blocked the Jin State.

The vigorous Five Kingdoms invaded the Song Dynasty, before it began, because of the existence of the Yan State, the Zheng and Jin countries were first damaged, and at present, the Song State has the assistance of Southern Zhao, and the Song State is like a tiger with wings, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

Treating the Five Kingdoms to Conquer the Song Dynasty, Duguyuan began to be a little frightened, at first announced the dispatch of 100,000 troops, the situation has changed dramatically, and it should be announced that 50,000 troops will be dispatched.

It is not his words and he has no faith, it is really the topography of Chen State, which determines that when Chen State is not strong enough to Song State, it is best not to provoke Song State alone, otherwise, the whole army of Song State will advance eastward, and it will be quite a situation of fighting dogs.

Once Chen Guo has no foreign aid, Song Guo is very likely to carry the power of his troops and hit Chen Guo hard.

After all, at the end of the autumn, the Song State had already tried to attack the Chen State, fortunately, the Chen State sent a large army, but it also blocked the Song State soldiers, but in the long run, it was by no means a way, if there was no way to defeat the enemy, the Chen State would decline day by day in the Song State feint.

What's more, with the geographical location of the Song State, if a checkpoint is set up on the border to completely prevent the merchants of the vassal states on the ground from entering the Chen State, then the Chen State will be directly isolated, even if there is barely maritime trade, which can reduce the crisis, it is not a long-term solution.

Duguyuan was depressed, and hoped that the five kingdoms would attack the Song Dynasty in a reversal, and it would be best for Zhao Liang, Zheng and Jin to fight against the Song State, so as to contain the main forces of the Song State.

The Song State declined, the Chen State did not pose a direct threat, and the current problems were all solved.

The candlelight flickered, the cold wind blew, flickering bright and dark, like Duguyuan's complexion, cloudy and uncertain.

King Chen Guojun Duguyuan, and his adviser Guo Huai, Chen Tang, and sitting in the tent, the three of them did not look very good, and they seemed to have thoughts.

"In two days, the kings of the vassal states will arrive in Luoyi, the alliance will begin, at present, the five countries are fighting the Song Dynasty, the situation is not clear, Chen Guo, must have two hands to prepare, can not rely on all the Song State, Northern Zhao compared to Zhao State's strength has lost most of it, Liang State has not moved swords for many years, and the battle momentum is like a rainbow Song State, I look a little hanging" In the big tent, there was silence for a long time, Dugu Yuan was angry in his heart, and he took the lead in speaking.

The tranquility in the big tent was broken, and Guo Huai, who was sitting on the right, sighed: "What the emperor said is true, the current situation in the north is indeed not optimistic, in the past two years, the northern vassal states seem to be full of strength, you chase me to catch up with all in the improvement of national strength, this year, the situation in the north is very different from two years ago, Chen Guo can not succumb to the east, nothing has been done."

The emperor's concerns are not groundless, the Zhao State is divided, the Northern Zhao inherits most of the Zhao strength, and leads the troops to announce the Five Kingdoms to attack the Song Dynasty, but the Northern Zhao is also too busy to take care of itself, there is the South Zhao in the south, and the Xiongnu in the north, and now it is going to count the West and East Hu, it is also an eventful season, and the Chen State is in the Five Kingdoms to attack the Song Dynasty, and he cannot go with the flow, and he has no opinions and ideas of his own. ”

Guo Huai's words only showed that the situation in the north was not optimistic, and he recognized Duguyuan's worries, but did not give Duguyuan's solution to the problem, let alone what Chen Guo should do when he attacked the Song Dynasty in the Five Kingdoms.

On the left, Chen Tang frowned, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, Lord Guo, in the past two years, you think that in the past two years, the country in the north has been the most noisy, growing rapidly and the fastest, and has the most external allies."

"It's the Song Kingdom" Duguyuan replied without thinking, and he didn't know what Chen Tang meant.

"Yan Guo is close behind" Guo Huai Dao, as far as he is concerned, he has a detailed understanding of Yan Guo, and even wants to fully absorb Yan Guo's strategy in the New Deal, and also carry out drastic reforms to Chen Guo, reversing the decadent situation of Chen Guo in the past ten years.

Chen Tang smiled, undeniable, nodded, and said: "Yes, what the emperor and Lord Guo said is right, in the past two years, the situation in the north has changed dramatically, it is complicated, Zhao has decomposed, and a large area of territory between Zheng and Jin has been encroached upon, and the only real beneficiary is Song Yan." The Song State and the Chen State were hostile, and they could not communicate with each other in the past, and they could not communicate in the future, not to mention, the only allies of the Song State were the Southern Yue State and the Wu State, and the two countries did not participate in the affairs of the North for the time being, and in the north, there were many vassal states hostile to the Song State.

However, the Yan Kingdom is different, although the Yan Kingdom is small, but the momentum is like a rainbow, and the minister dares to predict that the Yan Kingdom will exchange the land of the mountains for the seven counties of the western Jin Dynasty, and it will definitely destroy the Jin."

"It's impossible for Chen Tang, you look too highly at Yan Guo and underestimate Jin Guo, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse." Dugu Yuan shook his head again and again, disagreeing with Chen Tang's opinion.

On the contrary, Guo Huai next to him seemed to have an understanding, and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Chen is reasonable, although the two countries of Chen and Jin are married, it is good to marry Qin and Jin, and Queen Dugu also controls the government of the Jin State, but for more than ten years, the situation of the Jin State is getting worse and worse, and the strength of the rivers is declining. Instead of intentions.

Unlike the old cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, the cavalry of the Yan State inflicted heavy losses on Donghu, which already shows the strength of the cavalry of the Yan State. ”

Chen Tang smiled, looked at Dugu Yuan, and said: "Your Majesty, the Jin State is the traditional ally of the Chen State in the north, but at present, the strength of the Jin State has plummeted, and it is impossible to fulfill the intention of the first emperor to attack the Song Dynasty, so the minister suggested that the emperor pacify the Jin State and find new allies at the same time."

Dugu is only fifty years old, he is the younger brother of Queen Dugu of the Jin Kingdom, he ascended the throne, he did not do anything big in the Chen State, but he did not do anything harmful to the interests of the Chen State, and he is also a king, but the era of the princes fighting for hegemony and fighting each other is coming, and Dugu Yuan also realized that Chen Guo has taken measures to comfort the external environment for decades, and has not taken the opportunity to improve the strength of Chen State, and now he is restrained by the Song State everywhere.

Back then, the Jin State was strong, and the Chen and Jin countries could still restrain the Song State in the north and south, but now the Jin State was driven to the east of Jin, and the cavalry of the Yan State attacked in a big way, and it was difficult to protect itself, so how could I help the Chen State.

Dugu is far from being a fool, and he will not fail to see the decadence of the Jin State, the Song State is becoming stronger and stronger without restraint, and the Chen State will eventually become the fat on the mouth of the Song State.

"Chen Tang, if you want me to form an alliance with Yan State, can you tell me the reason for the alliance, why don't you choose the Three Kingdoms of Zhao Zhengliang and choose Yan Country instead?"

In Duguyuan's eyes, even if Yan has seven counties in western Jin, three counties in northern Jin, and three counties in Hunhe, it is still not a big country, and it is called a medium country.

Chen Tang pondered, and then gushed endlessly: "Back to the emperor, the minister feels that Zheng Guo's current situation does not need to be detailed, he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself, Northern Zhao, the minister also said that after the split, the strength plummeted, if you don't try to be strong, it will be difficult to fight against the Song State after all, Liang State and Chen State are far apart, Chen and Song have a war, Liang State whip is beyond reach, can not fund Chen State, not to mention, Liang State has changed the law for more than ten years, what is the strength, the princes are not clear.

Yan Guo really shouldn't be among the allies chosen by Chen Guo, although it has grown rapidly in the past two years, in terms of strength, it is still difficult to compare with Zhao Liang and Zheng.

However, Yan has two good allies, Chu Shu, the two central Duan Wen gate valves of these two countries, both of which have made friends with Yan State, and the three kingdoms are connected to each other in terms of economy and military.

This time, the Five Kingdoms attacked the Song Dynasty, Zheng Guo took the lead in attacking Yan State, and the current situation of Zheng State, the emperor and Lord Guo must have seen that they lost land and spent huge sums of money, but they still failed to solve the actual problem and were trapped in Chu Shu's soldiers.

It can be seen that Chu and Shu treated the Song State by no means a cover-up, the three countries used each other to be strong in the conquest, and over time, Shu will definitely stand out in the south and become a powerful force no less than the Chu State, and the Yan State will eventually become a great disaster in the north. ”

Duguyuan listened carefully to Chen Tang's suggestion, and after hearing the words, he felt that it made sense, and asked Chen Tang: "Chen Tang, what you said is reasonable, but have you ever considered it, at present, Yan and Song are in the honeymoon period, and even the land of Bishan and Jinxi can be exchanged, it can be seen that the relationship between the two countries is not shallow, if you want to resolve the relationship between the two countries, the difficulty can be imagined, not to mention, Chen Yan is in an alliance, what will Chen Guo do to win over Yan Guo"

Chen Tang seemed to be thoughtful, nodded slightly, and said: "The emperor needs to know, the princes compete for hegemony, and there are no eternal enemies, let alone eternal friends, two years ago, wasn't the Song State still eyeing the Yan State, and now interacting with the Yan State, it is also to see that the Yan is strong, not to mention, the Yan and Song alliances are not monolithic, as far as the minister knows, Zheng Guo's attack on Yan was secretly provoked by the Song State.

Therefore, there is still hope for Chen Yan to form an alliance, not to mention, Yan is strong, if you want to go south, you will inevitably attack the Bishan region, and after all, you will still tear your face with the Song State, on the contrary, Chen Yan and the two countries have no contradictions, but they are common enemies, and the alliance between the two countries is harmless to Chen and is also very beneficial to Yan State.

In addition, the minister suggested that when forming an alliance with the Yan State, the emperor sent people to the Chu State and also formed an alliance with the Chu State, once the three kingdoms of Chen, Yan and Chu formed an alliance, and the Zheng State was hostile to the Song State, and the Song State attacked Chen, it was necessary to consider the consequences."
