Living on the high platform, only by relying on dozens of stone steps can climb to this side hall without walls on all sides, when the court Dazai Chen Jing and Chuyang Gong Xue Bi sat opposite each other, there was only a small square table in front of them, a set of ordinary tea sets, and in addition, there was nothing else in the whole hall.

Chuyang Gong Xue Bi stared at Chen Jing and asked in a deep voice, "Then have you thought about it? How should you treat this person? After all, you are Dazai now." ”

His meaning is actually very simple, because Chen Jing's words can represent the opinions of the entire Jin Kingdom, after all, no one in the court dares to openly oppose him anymore, so Xue Bi hopes that he can treat this matter carefully.

Chen Jing poured himself a cup of tea, didn't look at the other side, and replied unexpectedly: "This person is a lobbyist under Duanmu Shuofeng." ”

When Chu Yang Gong heard this, he reacted, and then said with a surprised face: "It turned out to be Prince Duanmu's subordinate." ”

After speaking, he sighed with regret again: "It's a pity, this kind of unicorn is not my Jin royal family." ”

After Chen Jing added new tea to the two of them again, he spoke: "If so, I don't have to do this kind of thing." ”

Chu Yanggong looked up at him, finally realized something, and asked in a deep voice, "It seems that you have already made a decision to agree to the alliance?"

Chen Jing put down the teapot, raised his head, his eyes were shining, and he shouted lightly: "Why don't you agree?"

"Jin doesn't attack Liang, Liang will attack Jin!" Chen Jing flicked his sleeves suddenly, and said loudly without scruples, "The heart of Liang Guo to go north is well known, the so-called harmony is a complete joke at all, even if Liang Guo is willing to agree to peace, the iron hooves of the Liang army will not stop because of this, and no one can extinguish the Gu family's heart to dominate the south!"

Chu Yanggong's spirit was shocked, and he just wanted to argue and said, "But。。。。。。 ”

He wanted to ask the other party, it is not easy to hold the current foundation of the Jin Kingdom, do you still have to take the initiative to attack the cold? Isn't this a moth to the fire and bring about its own destruction?

However, before he could finish his sentence, Chen Jing unceremoniously interrupted: "But what? Shangguan Ming is a blind man, but you who have fought against the Liang army for many years, can't you still see the determination of the Liang Kingdom?

"In the forest, will the tiger be reconciled with the rabbit?" Chen Jing continued to say loudly, "This battle, my Jin Kingdom is unavoidable, and it is the general trend to join forces to fight against the cold!"

Chu Yanggong, who was taught such a lesson by such a young man who had never even been to the army, and was also a fierce general when he was young, was still a little unconvinced, and immediately snorted coldly: "Hmph, we rely on natural danger, and the Liang Kingdom may not be able to attack it, if it weren't for this back then, the people of the Liang Kingdom would not have withdrawn their troops!"

When Chen Jing heard this, he immediately sneered and retorted: "Hehe, natural danger? Even if it is relying on natural danger, what if Liang Guo exchanges the lives of 100 people for 30 people in my Jin Kingdom? What about exchanging the lives of 1 million elite soldiers for 300,000 elite soldiers in my Jin Kingdom? Liang State sits on the land of six states, and 1 million lives are filled in the Jin Kingdom, and ten years later, another million people will make a comeback, what about the Jin Kingdom at that time? Can we still get another 300,000 elite soldiers in ten years?"

What Chen Jing said, that is, the real problem, the territory of the Liang State is vast, and if you fight the land of these two states with the resources of the entire six states, even if you exchange more for less, the Liang State will not lose, because their resources and personnel can be continuously replenished from all over the country, but what about the Jin State, can the Jin State be? No matter how rich the land of the two states of the Jin State is, can it compare to the resources of the six states of the Liang State?

Even if it is an injury for an injury, the Jin Kingdom can't afford to replace it.

Liang Guo just relied on this stupid method to consume, it could easily consume the Jin State, not to mention that the border army of Liang State itself was not bad, and it was impossible to win if it opened a position and charged head-on.

When Chu Yang Gong heard this, he still refuted: "Even if what you say is true, but such a loss, the country will inevitably be full of complaints, and at that time, the people will be dissatisfied, will the Liang country be able to absorb it? I'm afraid that without us doing anything, they will collapse internally." ”

Once people die too much, there will naturally be other voices coming out, especially the Jin State is the defensive side, the soldiers are to protect the family and defend the country, for the family, for the survival of the fight, even if they die in battle, the people will only build a monument for them, sing their fearlessness and bravery everywhere, and the young people will go forward and continue to fill in the recklessness, because they know that if they don't fight, they will inevitably lose the country, but Liang Guo is the party that takes the initiative to attack, once people die too much, the people will naturally be right, this is the people's heart。

Because they could not have fought this war, and the country is obviously peaceful, why should they fight?

Even if it is a siege of the city, the people will not be able to share any substantial benefits, and the lives of the soldiers will be exchanged for the merits of the emperor, as well as the capital for the promotion of officials, why are they willing, in a word, it is not good for the people to fight a meaningless battle, they will definitely not support it, not to say that they have a long-term vision, they have worked hard enough just to live well, and why should they be more demanding of them?

Chen Jing nodded, and said with a serious face: "What you said also has some truth, but what do you use to guarantee that our 300,000 elite soldiers will definitely be able to fight out the millions of elite soldiers of the Liang Kingdom? Do we have to wait for the Liang Kingdom to recuperate, step by step, and all the chess pieces are laid out before making a move? How can I bet the national fortune of the Jin Kingdom for hundreds of years on this? Not to mention that no matter which country we or the Wei Kingdom is broken, the Liang Kingdom will no longer be invincible in the south, and you will not understand the simple truth of the cold lips and teeth. ”

Once the Wei Guo is broken, the Jin State will become an island on the ocean, even if it depends on the geographical advantage, it will be swallowed up by the waves sooner or later, but sooner or later, Chu Yang Gong is not a fool, of course he understands this truth, but as the older generation of Jin people, he is still angry that the Wei Guo took advantage of the fire to rob.

Chu Yanggong put on a straight face, clasped his hands to his chest, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to cooperate, let Wei Guo spit out the land of the three counties first." ”

Chen Jing shook his head lightly and said, "The land of the three counties is too small, even if it is given to them, what do I want, the land of the two states that we once lost!"

The conjecture in his heart came true, and Chu Yanggong suddenly said in shock: "Do you really want to take the initiative to attack Liangguo?"

No wonder he was so surprised, it was really because of the battle that year, he was completely scared, the cavalry of the Liang Kingdom, vertical and horizontal, rampant, can be said to be invincible in the south, if it is just relying on natural danger and watching and helping each other, he can agree, but if he wants to take the initiative to attack, this is not to die?

It's just overwhelming!

In the first war of that year, if the Jin Kingdom had not been defeated so badly, even if there were still half of the millions of elites left, he would not be so afraid, in the first war of that year, the Jin Kingdom was really injured, and it hurt to the root, and it has not completely recovered until now, and then with the people of Liangguo who have been recuperating for more than 20 years, in his opinion, it is really to die.

He even wanted to bluntly say that the other party had never been to the army at all, had never read the art of war, and didn't understand the matter of leading troops to fight at all, so don't make a big deal in this regard, you must know that you are bent on going your own way now, and the final result will be to kill hundreds of thousands of Jin Guolang!

But he didn't want to, Chen Jing's eyes shone brightly, and he said loudly: "It's not just me, the Duanmu prince who defends the country, thinks the same way." ”

Of course, Duanmu Shuofeng thinks so, what he wants to do is not simply to keep the ancestor's one-third of an acre, to be the emperor who guards it, what he wants to do is what Liangguo also wants to do, that is, to sit on the lord of the southern land, rectify the soldiers and horses, and march into the atrium!

Chu Yanggong shouted softly in a cold voice: "Hmph, the young man is angry, I don't know what to do, I am against this matter!"

Chen Jing said calmly: "It's useless for you to object, you forget, I'm Dazai now, and when I say it, all the officials bow down!"

"You!"

Chu Yanggong's face was full of anger, and even at this moment, he had already begun to regret what he had helped the other party.

Chen Jing saw the anger in the other party's eyes, and hurriedly continued to persuade: "Duke Chu Yang, how many years can I, Chen Jing, live? How many years can he live? How dare I bet that our next generation can still help each other as much as we do? How can I guarantee that there will not be another Shangguan Ming or Cai Jing in the future generations, and the remaining family wealth of the old ancestor will be completely lost?"

He said this in his heart, because he knew that even if he cultivated a successor, it would be useless, once he returned the power to the Shangguan family in the future, his protégé disciples would inevitably be liquidated.

No emperor could stand his ministers riding on his head, and even killed his own father.

"Whether it is the Liang Kingdom or the Wei Kingdom, they all have the heart of a hegemon who competes for the dominance of the Southland, because only by unifying the Southland can they have the capital to enter the Atrium, because every prince in the Atrium has such a big force as the entire Southland, they will not stop for the sake of their ideals, my Jin Kingdom has no way to retreat now, and only by taking chestnuts from the fire can we preserve the foundation!"

This time, Chu Yanggong finally fell silent, because he knew that the other party was telling the truth.

Wei Guo and Liang Guo are like young men, energetic, and dare to fight, they can throw their heads and spill their blood for the ideals in their hearts, and they don't care about themselves, but Jin Guo is like a dying old man, his whole body is full of injuries and diseases, and he is no longer able to participate in the game of young people, what they have to do is just to survive as much as possible.

They are like a big ship sailing on the sea, now the bottom of the ship has broken a big hole, it is too late to repair it, they should now watch the ship be flooded, enjoy this last time, or should they choose to let go, try to row to the other side, but if they wait for the ship to sink, they can live a little longer, but there are two possibilities for rowing hard, one is to finally reach the other side, then naturally everyone is happy, but it is more likely that the ship is sinking faster than before, how to choose?

After a while, Chu Yang raised his head, and his voice was as low as a big bell: "Then do you know that this Wu Heng is not honest?"

What Wu Heng did in the capital, many people know, but this is a conspiracy, and they can't do anything, Wu Heng uses the cause that Chen Jing himself has planted, unless Chen Jing solves this cause and effect with his own hands, otherwise it will inevitably bear fruit in the future.

Chen Jing smiled, looked ahead, and said calmly: "Of course I know, as I said before, they are all people who want to dominate the southern land, if the Liang Kingdom is destroyed, this next knife will naturally fall on the head of my Jin Kingdom, instigate civil strife and kill me, if it were me, I would do the same." ”

Chu Yanggong stared at him deeply, holding the teacup tightly in his hand, trembling all over, almost embarrassed by himself.

In front of him is a young man who took the initiative to go to the road of death, just to give Jia Guobo that glimmer of life.

The same thing, he Xue Bi thought that he couldn't do it so calmly, because he had the most basic selfish desires, which was not shameful, but when facing a person like Chen Jing, he felt guilty for his behavior from the bottom of his heart, because this kind of thing should have been done by these old people.

Chu Yang Gong looked at the Jinluan Hall in the distance, at the backbone above the roof, the ten immortal beasts with glazed glaze on it were shining in the sun, he suddenly sighed heavily, and said sincerely: "I only hate myself, I can not persuade you, nor can I persuade myself, if you can replace the Shangguan family, how good would it be。。。。。。 ”

Chen Jing listened, just buried his head in drinking tea and stopped talking.
