Wu Yue, Cai Shu, Chu and the five southern powers, at first, the power of Cai was equal to Wu Yue Shu, and they were equal.

It's a pity that the emperor was not virtuous, plagued the people, was assassinated by the Mo assassins, and the country was ownerless, which led to the chaos of the Cai Kingdom, and the internal forces of all parties grabbed the throne, and the military and financial resources were greatly consumed.

Two years of internal scuffle made Cai Guomin miserable, innocent people died in the war, fertile land turned into pasture, and the people fell into famine.

In the past two years, Wu Yue and Chu from outside have been eyeing Cai, taking advantage of Cai's internal turmoil, and have sent troops to attack Cai.

Cai's army was tired of quelling the rebellion, which led to the weakness of the border air defense, the attack of the troops of the three countries, the division of large territories, and the strength plummeted.

The new emperor ascended the throne and personally led his troops to quell the rebellion, which calmed the internal war of Cai and actively restored Cai's national strength.

It's a pity that the internal scuffle before, the invasion of foreign enemies, so that Cai Guo was injured and his vitality was greatly damaged, just recovered for a few years, the military strength has been slightly improved, Cai Jun is greedy for the treasure of the Heavenly Prince, sent the army north, and took over the defeat in Shiyan City.

The Yan army defeated the tripartite army of Wu, Yue and Cai, causing panic in the south, and Cai Jun was co-opted by the kings of the four southern countries and sent troops to attack Yan.

The Northern Expedition suffered another failure, which made Cai Guo lose a lot of troops, and two consecutive Northern Expeditions, lost too much in Dayan, which made Cai's troops sharply reduced, and the people complained.

The king who tried to revive the state of Cai had to recuperate after two northern expeditions and actively restore his national strength.

Unexpectedly, the blessing and misfortune are not alone, Cai Guo's new policy is too late to be implemented, the Chu army is not vigilant and killing, Cai Jun is recuperating, and the plan to enrich the country and strengthen his life has failed.

Failed to ask Wu Yue for help, Shu was beyond the reach of the whip, and when Cai Guo was alive and dead, Cai Jun couldn't take care of it anymore, and asked Yan Guo for help under pressure.

Cai Jun is a person who has made a difference, how can he not know that inviting the Yan army to the south is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house, don't you know that when the Yan army crosses the river, the south will fall into panic?

He knew all this, but it was a pity that Xiong Wu planned to annex Cai State, so as to expand the power of Chu State, and plan to dominate the south in the future.

Cai Guo's strength was weak, half of the elite were buried in the north, and when there was nothing to do, Cai Jun didn't care about face and sent envoys to Yan.

If Cai Guo perishes, it's a big deal that everyone dies and the net is broken, and no one wants to make a bonfire, and Yan Guo is cheap for nothing.

When Lin Feng heard the news, accompanied by Wen Jishi and Tuoba Che, he met with the envoy of Cai State, and now Tuoba Che returned to Yan State, he hoped that the other party would adapt to the court environment of Yan State as soon as possible and give advice to Dayan.

In addition, the envoy of Cai Guo entered Beijing, and on the surface, Cai Guo may be at the time of destroying the country, and he may also take the opportunity to blackmail the other party.

What's more, the Great Yan Water Division has not yet succeeded, and it is impossible to go south to fight, maybe Cai Guo asked for help, which happened to be an opportunity, and the Great Yan army could enter the south.

However, all this must be beneficial to Dayan, otherwise, he would rather sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, rather than waste a single soldier of Dayan.

Fan Changwen, the envoy of Cai State, received the edict and hurriedly entered the palace, and when he met with Lin Feng, he showed a look of crying bitterly, as if he had been greatly wronged.

After meeting Lin Feng and saluting him, Fan Changwen described Cai Guo's situation to Lin Feng in detail.

Sensing that Lin Feng's eyes were focused on him, Fan Changwen didn't dare to be careless, and began to complain to Lin Feng endlessly, saying: "Emperor Yan, Cai and Yan are across the river, there is a gap between the two countries, but they are not hostile countries, and now Emperor Xiong Wu of Chu has set off a campaign in the south, trying to annex Cai, if Cai is destroyed, the power of Chu will extend to the south of the Yangtze River, and it is very likely to threaten the territory of Yan State Jiangbei, in order to leave Cai State as a buffer zone, I ask Emperor Yan to actively send troops to rescue Cai State from danger, and also help Yan State eliminate hostile forces." ”

After Fan Changwen, the envoy of Cai State, finished speaking, it was as if he had vented all the anger that had been held in his heart for several days.

However, after Lin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, two months ago, Cai Guo participated in the battle of the Five Kingdoms to attack Yan, and he was violent, vowing to divide Yan Guo, and now, on the southern frontier, the blood stains after the war have not been eliminated, Cai Guo was killed, so he came to Yan Guo for help, and Cai Guo was too brazen.

However, what Fan Changwen said was right, once the Chu State annexed the Cai State, the Great Yan Sailor Division was successfully trained, and if he wanted to move his troops south directly from the south, he would encounter very great resistance.

Han Zhitong, Chen Dongyu, Xiong Kui and others were captured by Dayan again, and between Yan and Chu, they completely became mortal enemies, and if the forces of both sides extended both sides of the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River would eventually become a chasm between the two countries.

Lin Feng took a sip of warm tea, his face was displeased, he stared at Fan Changwen, and shouted: "Fan Changwen, what is the relationship between Cai and Yan, don't you know, two months ago, the armies of the two sides fought fiercely in southern Xinjiang, if it weren't for Wu Yue, Shu and Cai Siguo, who escaped very fast, I would let them all die in Great Yan like the Xuanjia soldiers of the country, this time, you led the mission to ask Yan Guo for help, do you think I will help Cai Guo?" ”

Yan and Cai face each other across the river, if Dayan has a water division, Lin Feng would have led his troops south, first destroyed Shu, swallowed Cai, and then broke through each and seized power in the south.

It's a pity that the Great Yan Water Division is being trained, and there is a skirmish among the southern princes, and the Yan army does not dare to go south at all.

No matter how much victory the Yan army won in the south, as long as it was besieged by the southern naval division on the surface of the Yangtze River, the Yan army might be buried in the Yangtze River.

Therefore, Fan Changwen asks for help, there is no absolute chance of winning, before the absolute benefit, Lin Feng will not send troops to help, even if Cai State is annexed by Chu State, Yan State will still choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and will not send a soldier to the south.

When Fan Changwen heard this, he looked at Lin Feng and said in a sad tone: "Emperor Yan, Emperor Xiong Wu of Chu is an ambitious guy, the annexation of Cai State is just a training exercise, once the Cai State is successfully annexed, Wu Yue will also be dangerous, within a few years, Chu State will not only annex the south, but also train a stronger Xuanjia soldier in the war, at that time the Yan army wants to go south, it is difficult to ascend to the sky." ”

What kind of person is Chu Emperor Xiong Wu, Lin Feng has already understood, this guy dares to openly set fire to Yanjing City, trying to release the princes and kings of Yan Kingdom, which shows that the other party will not make a move, and as soon as he makes a move, he wants to go straight to the death hole of Yan Kingdom.

However, no matter whether Xiong Wu sent 500,000 Xuanjia soldiers to the north or set fire to Yanjing City, they were all successfully defeated by Yan Guo, and Lin Feng was not afraid of the other party.

At the moment, no matter how Xiong Wu jumps in the south, he is also a grasshopper after autumn, and he can't jump for a few days.

What's more, Yanjing City set fire, and the court of Yan took advantage of the situation to guide the Chu State and the Chu Emperor to be against the king, causing a large number of merchants to withdraw from the Chu State and bring a lot of losses to the Chu economy.

Perhaps the defeat of the army in the north, the withdrawal of merchants and other factors melted, causing Xiong Wu to make a big move in the south and strive to expand his power.

Although Great Chu is not the hegemon of the south, his recent practices and situation have lost the prestige of the hegemon, and Xiong Wu needs a war to prove himself and improve the morale of the Chu State.

Therefore, Lin Feng hoped that Xiong Wu would fight in the south, if he tried to make the Great Chu army fall into a protracted war in Cai, Xiong Wu couldn't help but not realize his plan of annexing territory and expanding rapidly, on the contrary, he would quickly weaken the power of Great Chu, so that the Yan army would go south and reduce the pressure.

Glancing at Fan Changwen, Lin Feng said to the other party: "Fan Changwen, you are dead of this heart, I will never send an army south, Chu State annexed Cai State, but instead clear the obstacles for the Yan army to go south, and when the Great Yan Sailor is successfully trained, go south to fight with Chu State and decide the victory, wouldn't it be happy!" ”

Before Fan Changwen came to Chu State, he realized that the previous Five Kingdoms attacked Yan and Cai State participated in the war, which caused Cai State and Yan State, which had no contradiction, to completely become hostile forces.

Hoping to adopt a bitter strategy, successfully lobby Lin Feng, and return to Cai Guo with Yan Qi to resolve Cai Guo's urgent needs.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yan insisted on planning to watch the fire from the other side, and did not care about the survival of Cai Guo at all, let alone send troops to rescue Cai Guo, which made Fan Hengwen very impatient, Wu Yue refused, Dayan refused, did he really want him to cross the river to the south again, and strive to lobby Wu and Yue.

He didn't dare to imagine that he spent a lot of time lobbying the vassal states to send troops, and in the end, Cai Guo was afraid that he would be annexed by the Chu State early.

Not daring to hesitate, Fan Changwen gritted his teeth and said anxiously: "Emperor Yan, if Great Yan sends troops to save Cai Guo from danger, Cai Guo is willing to be a vassal of Great Yan and assist Yan Guo in training sailors and building warships!" ”

Hearing the sound, Lin Feng's face did not change, but his heart moved, he still did not speak, but his eyes shifted to Wen Jishi and Tuoba Yan, this time, the conditions given by Fan Changwen were very tempting.

Cai is a vassal state in the south, and the north borders the Yangtze River, in terms of training sailors and building warships, regardless of technology and methods, it is far ahead of Dayan.

Maybe it won't take three years for Dayan to have a Xiongwu sailor go south.

However, things will not be too simple, where Cai Guo's bottom line is, he must find out and strive for more bargaining chips.

At this time, Wen Jishi seemed to understand Lin Feng's intentions, and took the lead in speaking and asked, "Lord Fan, if Cai Jun instructs you to be fully responsible for this matter, may I ask how many sailors Cai Guo can help Yan Guo train and how many warships to build every year, can you give a specific number, if Da Yan is profitable, he may send troops to assist Cai Guo to fight against Chu State, if Cai Jun vainly tries to spend a very small price and hopes that Da Yan will send troops, this matter is absolutely impossible." ”

"That's right, now that Dayan is so powerful, there is absolutely no need for vassals, as long as the sailor is successfully trained, he can drive straight into the river and cross the river to level the southern vassal states!" Tuoba Yan also said.

Wen Jishi and Tuoba Yan were both putting pressure on Fan Changwen, hoping to get more benefits from the other party.

Hearing this, Fan Changwen breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as Dayan sent troops, under the condition that Cai Guo could accept, he would be fully responsible for Cai Jun, after all, before sending Yan Guo, the emperor gave him the power to make temporary decisions.

After pondering for a moment, Fan Changwen arched his hand and said: "If Emperor Yan is willing to send troops to assist Cai Guo in blocking the Chu army, within three years, Cai Guo can help Yan Guo train 50,000 sailors and 300 dragon ships, but in view of Cai Guo's weak financial resources and must fight against the Chu army, all the money and food spent on training sailors and building Dragon Chuang must be provided by Yan Guo." ”
