If you want to confirm whether the People's Republic of China still has the ability to fight abroad, you naturally need an object to be tested.

Naturally, this object can't be himself, otherwise what if he gets burned? Therefore, the best way is to find a scapegoat, that is, a stupid X.

But there is no real stupid X in this world, at least no one will think that the person who can become the founding emperor will be a stupid X. The only thing that can be used is those negative thoughts in people's hearts, which lure the other party step by step into a stupid X.

Luo Rucai is also a person who is both civil and military, and his overall view is also very strong.

He chose an accomplice who could be used as a test of the republic, and that was Zhang Xianzhong in the south.

Zhang Xianzhong established the Great Western Kingdom, but his covetousness for Sichuan was also obvious. I don't know what's good in Sichuan, but he has always wanted to conquer that place. However, he was blocked by Qin Liangyu at the beginning, but in the later stage, Qin Liangyu was gone, but Sichuan was wanted by the republic.

It is understandable that the republic is occupied, after all, when the anti-kings gathered, no one in Sichuan was selected, in fact, everyone knew that Sichuan was so close to Daqin at that time, and it would be attacked by Daqin at any time, and it seems that Zhang Hongbin more or less had this meaning. Even if Zhang Hongbin wanted Shaanxi at that time, Shaanxi was originally given up by them. Therefore, before the lottery, everyone had secretly reserved Sichuan for Daqin, so there was no Sichuan in the lottery box at the beginning.

However, Zhang Xianzhong is not a person who likes to abide by the rules, so he doesn't go to the place where he draws, and directly kills Guizhou to grab territory, not to mention, but also directly covets Sichuan, and seems to plan to reproduce history. It's a pity that he didn't get Sichuan in the end, but he doesn't seem to have the intention of giving up so far.

It is good to have greed, and if you have greed, you can make greed expand, and when greed expands to a certain extent, it will replace calmness as the main thinking emotion, and then do some ridiculous things.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go and lobby!" Shen Jun was willing.

"I am willing to go and lobby!" More civil servants are listed.

"No, no...... Zhang Xianzhong understands that his temper is not ordinarily bad, but he is not ordinarily shrewd. I won't let any of you go, so I don't have to be skinned and deboned by him, and I will send him a letter of state, saying that I will personally visit him at the border, hoping that he will be able to go to the appointment! Luo Rucai shook his head and said to the ministers.

"Your Majesty, you can't be in danger!" Luo Heng immediately went out to advise.

"Your Majesty, you can't be in danger!" All the courtiers also came out one after another.

"It's okay, if it's a formal occasion, the other party won't do anything out of the ordinary, so it's decided!" Luo Rucai shook his head and said very firmly.

Since Luo Rucai's holy will had been decided, it was not good to advise him anymore, so he had to obediently follow his instructions and send Zhang Xianzhong a letter of state.

Zhang Xianzhong really replied to the letter and agreed to this request, in fact, Zhang Xianzhong not only coveted Sichuan, why didn't he covet Huguang and Guangdong? In other words, as an emperor, he looked at the world and only wanted to unify China and be a real emperor, not this kind of nominal and substantial, similar to the local vassal king.

Zhang Xianzhong had an idea, and the two sides soon met at the border.

In fact, this border is still in the territory of Huguang, which was originally the territory of Lao Huihui, but Lao Hui was driven out of the territory by Luo Rucai by taking advantage of Zhang Xianzhong's momentum, but he also had to pay some land as a reward for Zhang Xianzhong.

Therefore, even now, it would be false to say that Luo Rucai did not have the slightest idea of wanting to recover the entire territory of Huguang. This time he seduced Zhang Xianzhong to fight the republic, in fact, he also planned to take advantage of the other party's failure and expand his territory as much as possible with a blow from the back. Even if we can't take Guizhou, it's good to get Huguang and Guangxi back.

"Lao Luo, why are you interested in dating me?" At the pavilion where the meeting took place, Zhang Xianzhong said with a big grin.

In fact, dating in these years mostly refers to the meaning of scheduled meeting, but if Zhang Hongbin is here, he will scold Zhang Xianzhong for not choosing his words, as if he wants to stir up trouble with him. Fortunately, Luo Rucai is not a modern person, and he doesn't know what Lang Man is.

The concubines who didn't see him were almost all robbed by him.

"Brother watched "Huaxia Daily" today, but found that there are some mysteries in it that are difficult for others to perceive, and the foolish brother thinks that this is a good opportunity, so he cares about you with the virtuous brother, if the opportunity is rare, how about we divide the republic equally?" Luo Rucai said with a smile.

"Brother, you're not sending me, are you? It's not that you and I don't know the strength of the fighting power of the Republic, brother, I keep chasing, and I can also protect myself, and I am afraid that it is impossible to kill there. Zhang Xianzhong looked at Luo Rucai a little vigilantly.

"No, brother, you should take a look at this information first, and then listen to the foolish brother's analysis, if you think it makes sense, then we can continue to talk. If you don't think it makes sense, or there is no possibility at all, then we should come to an exchange meeting to enhance our relationship, and if there is any trouble in the future, we can take care of each other, right? Luo Rucai took out a stack of newspaper clippings and put them in front of Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong felt that there was nothing to lose, and if there was a real chance to invade the republic, it would naturally be a good thing.

So I immediately looked at it, but found that it was all news about where the republic had been laid.

looked up at Luo Rucai suspiciously, but found that Luo Rucai was looking at him with a smile.

Seeing him looking at himself, Luo Rucai pointed to these briefings and asked, "Brother, what do you see in these briefings?" ”

"It's all the news of the republic's crusade to the east and west, they are not mighty, but what does it have to do with me?" Zhang Xianzhong felt that Luo Rucai was really discharging him.

"No, brother, think about it carefully, when was the last time this Huaxia Republic was recruited, and how long did it take for these battles to be completed?" Luo Rucai pointed to these newspaper clippings and asked.

Zhang Xianzhong realized what he did, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the republic's conscription was also two or three years ago, and these wars were also fought in the past two or three years. Not to mention, it takes people to defend these territories, and these territories are sparsely populated places, and there are more places that need to be defended!

"You're saying that the Republic is not defensible at the moment?" Zhang Xianzhong tried to ask.

"Even if there are enough soldiers, I'm afraid most of them are still recruits...... That's when they threatened us before and said that they would attack us if they didn't enforce the patent law, and I found out, brother. I'm curious now, if I really don't enforce patent law, will the other party really call? Luo Rucai said smugly.

"Then, brother, you can try it yourself, what is it to call me out and sue me?" Zhang Xianzhong seemed to realize something.

"Don't worry, I just ask my brother, is this current republic very similar to the Western Jin Dynasty? There is a large amount of territory, but the defense area is also wide, but the defense force that can be used is weak. But in their north, Wuhu is strong and strong, with millions of male divisions. My brother should know how Wuhu went south, right? Luo Rucai didn't say what he meant directly, but asked Zhang Xianzhong directly.

"Naturally, it's a little bit of a breakthrough, and then a long drive. There was no ability to resist in the hinterland of the Later Jin Dynasty, and Wuhu came in as if no man's land...... Could it be that you are saying that the current republic is the same as this post-Jin dynasty? Zhang Xianzhong was a little interested.

"Isn't it? With such a vast territory, someone always needs to guard it, right? If all of them are sent to guard the town, according to the soldiers of the Chinese Republic, how many veterans can fight? I'm afraid of a lot of places, but I still sent new soldiers to defend it, right? This is an opportunity, a chance to go straight to the city and conquer the city! The wealth of the republic, brother don't talk about brother, you should also know, right? Even if you don't get anything, robbing a group of people and property, and even being able to be skillful is a big gain! Luo Rucai was tempted step by step.

"Brother, you are not kind, so you want to use your brother as a swordman?" Zhang Xianzhong understood that Luo Ru was planning to borrow a knife to kill.

No, it's just to use him Zhang Xianzhong as cannon fodder to explore the way!

"In these years, the bold and the starving and the cowardly, if you don't go to the old brother, it's okay for me to go, don't forget that the republic has an old neighbor, and they have coveted the republic for a long time." Luo Rucai pointed to the north and said calmly.

"That, it's ......" Zhang Xianzhong also understands the thoughts of the Ming Dynasty to destroy the Republic. It's like Da Ming also wants to destroy them.

As the oldest qualified emperor in this continent, Daming still exists in the hearts of many people at the moment, and many people recognize Daming. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty has not been eliminated for a day, and even if these anti-kings become emperors, they are not justifiable.

"They are not stupid, they will naturally fight Shanxi in Beizhili when the time comes. But they can't be swordsmen, so someone has to take the lead. Therefore, between you and me, there must be people, even us, who will send troops to attack and break the defenses of this republic so that they can send troops. Luo Rucai said with a smile.

"Then, brother, you send troops first, and brother follows!" Zhang Xianzhong patted his chest and said.

"But brother, have you ever thought about if I send troops first, and don't say if I can break the defense, just say that I send troops and the rear is empty? You know, I'm bordering on Daming. You and I are an offensive and defensive alliance, and we have the same root and origin, not to mention, but the Ming Dynasty has always hoped to eliminate us and others, if I send troops to the rear empty, wouldn't they fight first? Besides, my brother's military strength also knows that in front of my brother, my brother, the emperor, is under a lot of pressure! Luo Rucai said with a sullen face.

"Haha, it's just a little combat power, and it can't be put on the stage." Although he knew that Luo Rucai was uneasy and kind, Zhang Xianzhong was still very useful for his praise.

"So, let's make a gentleman's agreement and form an alliance to attack this republic together. Brother, you try to attack the Republic first, and no matter what the result is in three days, Brother and I will immediately launch a general attack on the Republic. When the time comes, whoever owns the place will be laid, and how? Luo Rucai gave a mention.

"This ......" Zhang Xianzhong felt, and this mention seemed to be okay.

"During the war, how about the strength of our troops on the border retreat as a symbol of friendship?" Luo Rucai continued to mention yì.

"This ......" Zhang Xianzhong seemed to be more relieved.

"Otherwise, it's a big deal, I will continue to be my Great Wei Emperor, and you will continue to be your Great Western Emperor. After a few years, the republic has grown stronger and stronger, and it will really send troops to fight us or even destroy us...... Eh, there is not much time left for my brother, so I'd better go back and spend more time with my concubine! Luo Rucai looked sad and immediately got up to leave.

"Wait, there's something to say!" Zhang Xianzhong immediately grabbed him.

At that moment, Luo Rucai knew that this stupid X had been tricked!
