Chapter 526: Three Secret Alliances

"King Wei has another letter, and everyone has already seen it, what opinions do you have, you might as well speak freely." Gongsun Kang tapped on the armrest of the chair while asking the group members below.

Because he had close contacts with Chu State before, and was located in Liaodong, he had a lot of contact with the "Hu people", so Yan Guo naturally accepted things like chairs quickly.

Compared with Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang is obviously more domineering and ambitious, and after a few years on the throne, in front of him, even the old ministers of the Gongsun Du period are under pressure.

"Lord, evil Chu bribed the Koreans and separated Fuyu, it is clear that he has already eyed my Great Yan, even if there is no help from the Wei State, we will not sit idly by, not to mention that now the King of Wei also has the intention of breaking with the evil Chu, my Great Yan should naturally take advantage of the situation." Beiyan stood up and said.

Beiyan looks like a bit of Wuhuan or Xianbei blood, with heavy body hair including a beard, and specially shows his chest hair in the cold weather near winter, wearing an animal skin jacket, which is very similar to the appearance of a warrior in the north.

The Chu State will propagate the theory of the destruction of Chu by the Marquis of Shu, and others will naturally promote the brutality and threat of the Chu State......

At most, there is a difference in the acceptance of the people, and on the bright side, it must be a good way to save face, and for the old warlords, the acceptance of the people is ...... In fact, it is dispensable, not as practical as two buckets of rice.

After all, it is impossible to condense the will to "fight for yourself", and the grassroots generals are all half-pushed and half-forced conscriptions, so what difference does it make if the people accept the news or not?

The letter from Wei at this time was to ask Yan Hou to respond to Wei and jointly expel Chu from the Bohai Sea!

"If Dayan fights, Zuo is willing to be the vanguard, first go to Andong, and then level the port!" Yang Zuo, who was about the same age as Bei Yan, directly stood up and asked for battle.

Bei Yan and Yang Zuo look to be in their thirties, and they ...... They all belong to the type that is more mature than the age, in fact, they are only twenty-seven or eighteen, and they are all cutting-edge generals who were promoted after Gongsun Kang took power.

Gongsun Kang's attitude on this matter is not difficult to guess - with Gongsun Kang's temperament, how can he tolerate it, after the plate armor is in hand, the Chu State still occupies his ports and minerals?

Previously, Chu State's minerals in Liaodong were seized one after another, and naturally Gongsun Kang's statement would not be missing.

The two cutting-edge generals promoted by Gongsun Kang are not only hawks, but they must have expressed their stance according to Gongsun Kang's intentions.

However, Gongsun Kang did not blindly come here, and did not take Bei Yan and Yang Zuo's words to heart, first commended the loyalty and courage of the two, and then asked Liu Yi: "Mr. Liu...... What does Mr. Ryo think? ”

Liu Yi and Liang Mao are both old ministers left by Gongsun Du, the former is also relied on by Gongsun Kang, and the latter is ...... It is at odds with Gongsun and his son, and Gongsun Kang is also half using and half guarding him.

After all, Liang Mao is the genuine Lelang Taishou, but on the way to office, he was intercepted and detained by Gongsun Du, and the two sides were not ordinary vassals.

At the beginning, Liang Mao secretly contacted Gan Ning, seemingly for the consideration of the Gongsun family, but in fact it cleared the way for Gan Ning's negotiations.

Later, although the Gongsun clan was more wary of Liang Mao while accepting Liang Mao's analysis, under the secret planning of the Enlightenment Department of the Chu State, even if Liang Mao and his relatives were strictly supervised, some of his descendants still broke away from Liaodong and had been taken to Jinling.

After all, Liang Mao is a representative of Liaodong Shilin, and Gongsun Du used him to promote Gongsun Clan's regard for virtue and talent, as well as the legal rationality of Lelang's rule, so it is not good to treat him directly.

"After the move, I lost my good relationship with the state of Chu, and at the same time, I ...... What we get is also important.

Now on the Bohai Sea, it is the Chu State that dominates and eats its benefits, if this time I can really expel the Chu State from the Bohai Sea in one fell swoop, where is the benefit to my Dayan?

It doesn't mean much if it's just two ports back, maybe even just half-ruined. And the strength of the Wei navy is second only to the Chu state, and the one that dominates the Bohai Sea at that time is really beneficial to us if it is changed from the Chu state to the Wei state? Liu Yi obviously has a different view on this matter.

If it was to take on the role of Wei State, or if Yan State now had the strength of Wei State's navy, Liu Yi felt that it would be nothing to completely turn his face with Chu State.

First, there are two important ports in Chu State, which are directly located at the "doorstep" of Yanhou, and secondly, Yanhou's naval army is actually "not to be underestimated" - in the history without the White Rabbit effect, the Gongsun clan was in the Three Kingdoms period, and Dongwu had contacts at sea, and ...... What is not emphasized in the romance is that in fact, at the time of the Cao Yuan dispute, the Gongsun clan set out from the sea and captured the coastal area of Donglai in Qingzhou, which is now occupied by the Chu State.

Historically, after the Battle of Guandu, when Cao Cao occupied Qingzhou, he took it back.

Although in many naval tactical concepts, the gap between Yan and Chu cannot be bridged, otherwise Liaodong Port and Andong Port would not be ceded...... But now in the Chengji world, the scale of the Liaodong Navy has been compressed because of the intervention of the Chu State, and at the same time, the strength has also become stronger because of the absorption of some of the technologies of the Chu State!

It is precisely because of this that Yan will become the object of Wei's attraction on the Bohai Sea.

Gongsun Kang listened to Liu Yi's words, although he frowned, he didn't insist on refuting, but at this time, Liang Mao sneered, which made Gongsun Kang, who heard the laughter, have a fierce light in his eyes.

On the contrary, Liu Yi saw this and asked politely: "What is Bo Fang's opinion?" ”

"The Bohai Sea is now the Bohai Sea of the Chu State, but if the Chu State loses ground in the Bohai Sea, this will not be the Bohai Sea of the Wei State! Could it be that the Marquis of Qi would watch the Wei State and the Chu State compete for dominance in the Bohai Sea and be indifferent? Or rather...... If Wei didn't even coordinate with the Marquis of Qi, would he dare to rashly fight with Chu? Liang Mao asked calmly.

When Gongsun Kang heard this, he didn't care about his indignation, but asked pretending to be respectful: "Does Mr. Liang think that there was already a deal between Wei and the Marquis of Qi?" ”

"It's just common sense." Liang Mao's expression of "you can't even guess common sense" made Gongsun Kang's eyes flash with a cold color again, as if he was a domineering president.

If so...... Why didn't Wei mention it at all in the letter? Seeing that Gongsun Kang seemed to be dissatisfied, Bei Yan immediately glared at Liang Mao.

"General Bei asked a good question, this is the key to it!" Liang Mao is not sarcastic about this silly.

"What does Bo Fang mean that Wei specifically did not mention the matter of Qi Hou, so as not to let us come into contact with Qi Hou? Kindness...... If this is the case, I am afraid that the Wei State will also regard us as his allies of the Wei State by default in front of the Marquis of Qi, not an alliance of the three families......" After Liu Yi was reminded, he nodded suddenly.

It is true that there is no mention or even hint in his heart, Qi Hou...... In other words, the princes of the auxiliary Han will respond to their actions.

Indeed, as Liang Mao expected, the old rivals of King Wei and Marquis of Qi have reached an agreement on the Bohai issue.

With the rise of maritime trade, the sea has become more and more valued by the princes, and those princes who have fought hard for their lives are not next to the sea, how can Cao Cao and Liu Bei now sit back and watch the already powerful Chu State become stronger by dominating the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea?

Especially geographically, the East China Sea is just that...... No matter how you look at it, the Bohai Sea is the influence of Jizhou and Qingzhou, right?

It's just that because of a momentary mistake, the originally unimportant Linhai County was "ceded" to the Chu State.

But now the Marquis of Qi and the King of Wei also have their own ports and their own naval armies.

It is only that the navy of Chu has been able to maintain absolute superiority, but the performance of the past two years has made everyone see that Chu is not invincible in the Bohai Sea......

Although there is a gap between the two sides, it doesn't seem to be very big!

In the East China Sea, Chu has Zhouhu, Bozhou, and those ports in Chu itself, which are indeed unshakable easily, but the Bohai Sea in front of them is ......

The forces of Wei and the Marquis of Qi both felt that as long as they joined forces, there was still "hope" that they could drive the Chu State out of the Bohai Sea, and if they united with the Marquis of Yan, it would be "very promising".

However, in the alliance with Yan Hou, the interests of Wei and the auxiliary Han forces are obviously different, and Wei is more like a reflection that it is himself who brings Yan Guo, a "little brother", to cooperate with the Marquis of Qi, rather than the cooperation of Wei, Yan, and Qi......

"In other words, after expelling the evil Chu, it will be Qi Wei's navy fighting in the Bohai Sea? No, Chu has military ports in Zhouhu and Bozhou, even if it is really defeated in the Bohai Sea, it is bound to try to make a comeback at all times, Wei and Qi should not fight each other in the Bohai Sea unwisely, but peaceful coexistence and beware of changes in the East China Sea, it is more likely, and this will also be our chance for Dayan! Liu Yi had already reacted at this time.

If it was just Wei and Yan, after the Bohai War, it would still not be Yan's turn to speak, and even Wei's rule over Bohai might not be more beneficial to Yan than Chu.

But if Wei Qi coexists, especially if he still has to face the strong enemy of Chu State, then Yan State can completely win a place in the cracks!

After hearing this, Gongsun Kang was skeptical about Liang Mao's purpose, but after all, this was also his own judgment, and even Liu Yi accepted this logic, so he finally agreed to Wei's letter tactfully, and began to try to contact Qi Hou on his own.

In this way, the three families, either overtly or covertly, reached an agreement on the Bohai issue - first "colluding" to clear the influence of the Chu State out of the Bohai Sea......

The reason why there was no immediate action is because this is the "Bohai Sea", and now it is already October, and the climate south of the Yangtze River can barely fight in the water, the Bohai Sea is already cold and frozen in October.

On the other hand, even if the three parties join forces, they do not have a complete grasp of the navy of the Upper Chu State, and they still need to accumulate.

It is more difficult for the navy to "accumulate" than ordinary soldiers, after all, manpower can be hard to recruit, and ships can only be built slowly, especially now only the warships of Wei can fight with Chu, and Wei has no intention of exposing its technology to "allies".

Of course, there is another important factor......

The three parties, as well as the state of Chu, are waiting for a piece of news......

Can the other half of Chu's navy come back?
