Chapter 517: Crisis
Now that Xiyi is finally scared, and he takes the initiative to sue for peace, the two countries have negotiated peace for less than half a year, why is there another war?
Wei Fu's voice changed a little: "Husband, is there any movement on Xiyi's side?" ”
At this moment, Wei Fu's mind was thinking a lot.
Could it be that Xiyi's initiative to sue for peace is just a cover used to paralyze Jing Chao's carelessness?
And Jiang Heng saw Xiyi's wolf ambition from some clues, so he came to such a conclusion?
Wei Fu could only think so.
But Jiang Heng shook his head.
"Xiyi really has no strength to fight again, at least in the next ten years, Xiyi can only recuperate, and it is impossible to fight against the Jing Dynasty again." Jiang Heng said, "It's just that although Xiyi has not moved, it doesn't mean that Jing Chao is stable, Jing Chao ...... Xiyi is not the only enemy. ”
Wei Fu was stunned.
As Jiang Heng said, Jing Dynasty is indeed not only an enemy of Xiyi.
The territory of the Jing Dynasty was extremely wide, and it can be said that it occupied all the great rivers and mountains, and outside the Jing Dynasty, there were some small countries that were regarded as barbarians by the Jing Dynasty, such as Xiyi, and then Beiban.
If you want to compare the land area, then these small countries naturally can't catch up with the Jing Dynasty, but because the living environment of these barbarians is much worse than that of the Jing Dynasty, and the resources are also extremely scarce, so the folk customs of these small countries are much stronger than the Jing Dynasty, such as Xiyi, it can be said that all the people are soldiers, and several other small barbarian countries are also in a similar situation.
It is precisely because of the harsh living environment of these barbarians that they are more eager to obtain enough survival resources by plundering, which is why there are always wars on the border of the Jing Dynasty.
Although there is not only Xiyi such a barbarian, but because in the past twenty years, only Xiyi has taken the initiative to launch a war against the Jing Dynasty, so most of the Jing Dynasty will subconsciously ignore the other small barbarian states.
Because of this, Xiyi took the initiative to sue for peace last year, and the Jing Dynasty rejoiced, thinking that after conquering Xiyi, the Jing Dynasty could usher in long-term peace and stability in the future.
"The territory of the Jing Dynasty is vast, the land is vast and the resources are abundant, for these barbarians, it is a piece of fat on their lips, where can they not covet it?" Jiang Heng said, "In the past twenty years, the war between Xiyi and Jing Dynasty has not ended, and the reason why the other barbarians did not send troops is because they are not sure, and second, they just want to see Jing Dynasty and Xiyi defeated, and then they will jump out to pick up the cheap." ”
Now although the Jing Dynasty and Xiyi have negotiated peace, but after 20 years of fighting, there is a great loss of national strength of the two countries.
I have to say that these barbarians are quite tolerant.
And the Northern Barbarians mentioned by Jiang Heng are the best among the several barbarians except Xiyi.
"A few days ago, I received the news from below, there seems to be an abnormal movement on the Beiban side, I am afraid that there will be a move in the near future, if Jing Chao can't be prepared in time......"
Jiang Heng's words were only half said.
If Jing Chao couldn't take precautions in time, what kind of consequences would there be at that time, but he didn't finish speaking.
However, even if he only heard half of this, Wei Fu felt a burst of horror.
No matter who it is, they don't want their country to be in war for a long time, especially now that the Jing Dynasty has just restored its tranquility, if the Northern Barbarians really point their blades at the Jing Dynasty, and the Jing Dynasty is completely defenseless, the consequences can be imagined to be very serious.
"These crises ......" Wei Fu looked at Jiang Heng, "Could it be that so many people in the Holy Dynasty and the court can't see it?" ”
Although such a question was asked, the answer in Weifu's heart could not be more obvious.
Since Xiyi took the initiative to sue for peace, Wei Fu can feel that the atmosphere in the capital is much more relaxed, and many people are even more proud when they mention the matter of peace, and everyone thinks that they can let Xiyi take the initiative to sue for peace, which is the manifestation of the prosperity of the Jing Dynasty.
Besides......
Wei Fu really hadn't heard anyone mention the crisis Jiang Heng was talking about.
This may be due to the fact that Wei Fu spends most of his time in the mansion and does not have much access to people from the outside, but it is more likely that most people are not aware of such a crisis at all.
Perhaps, in the eyes of everyone, Xiyi took the initiative to sue for peace, and there would be no crisis in the Jing Dynasty.
If even Emperor Jingwen, the emperor, had such thoughts, then it is not difficult to guess what the result would be when the Northern Barbarians suddenly launched a war.
Jiang Heng has guarded the border for 20 years, and has never allowed the Xiyi people to step into the land of the Jing Dynasty, and now it is difficult to break this precedent?
Thinking like this in his heart, Wei Fu only felt a little difficult to breathe for a while.
Jiang Heng held Wei Fu's hand, and his voice sounded a little dull: "Holy ...... He may not be able to see these crises, but in the eyes of the Holy Lord, he is only afraid that the threat I bring to him is greater than that of the Northern Barbarians. ”
Under such circumstances, how could Emperor Jingwen be expected to be able to perceive the crisis in time and take precautions in advance?
Wei Fu was speechless for a moment.
Emperor Jingwen may not be able to see the crisis, but he is unwilling to let Jiang Heng make another meritorious service, which is certain.
Perhaps, although Emperor Jingwen saw a possible crisis, he was too optimistic and thought that there would be no big mess, so he had the spare time to calculate and seize the military power in Jiang Heng's hands.
Emperor Jingwen has always praised himself as a king, but he only focused on how to suppress his courtiers, and even ignored the possible external troubles for a while, I have to say that this is also a bit ironic.
In the current situation, Jiang Heng has received the news that there is an abnormal movement on the Beiban side.
Emperor Jingwen has not yet noticed this.
So, what will Jiang Heng do?
Wei Fu asked, "Husband, what do you want to do?" ”
In fact, Jiang Heng has been planning to get out of the capital, and the Beiban incident is a very good opportunity, but the premise is that he can put aside his loyalty for the past twenty years.
But how easy is that?
In the past 20 years, Jiang Heng has been guarding the gate of the country, repelling foreign enemies again and again, and never letting an enemy step into the Jing Dynasty for half a step, now, how can he sit idly by and watch the Northern Barbarians hit the door?
As for Wei Changzheng, who was sent to the border by Emperor Jingwen......
In Jiang Heng's eyes, this is a soldier on paper, but he may not be able to defend the menacing Northern Barbarians.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Fu is curious about what Jiang Heng will do.
Of course, no matter what Jiang Heng decides, Wei Fu will support him unconditionally.
