Chapter 10 Taking a Long-Term Perspective (2)
Dong Canghai clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, the Yizhou Royal City will be broken in a few days, and the entire land of Yizhou will fall into our hands at that time." Then, you can recover Zizhou and directly attack the Dongzhou national front. ”
Shen Huantian said in a deep voice: "Judging from the current situation, the southern general is also leading the army to regain the lost territory, we should take the opportunity to recover more territory and consolidate the existing forces!"
Fang Ling glanced at Mo Xiang, and Mo Xiang said softly: "Your Highness, of course it is necessary to consolidate the existing forces, but we also have to focus on the longer term, that is, after the Eight Kings Rebellion has subsided. ”
Fang Ling secretly appreciated it, Mo Xiang was worthy of being a talented woman, and only she could think of what he thought, so he asked, "Then according to you, how should you focus on it?"
Mo Xiang analyzed: "After the rebellion of the eight kings subsides, there are only two possibilities, one is that our country has completely recovered the lost land, and the emperor will definitely receive the ownership of these lost lands into his own hands, so we can only obediently return to Shicheng Kingdom, because there is no longer any reason to stay here. ”
Saying this, Dong Shen and the others immediately frowned, and Dong Canghai sighed: "What the Mo military division said is true, in this way, we have done useless work, after all, the land of Chu is the emperor." ”
"This ...... Then what should we do? Raise troops, there is no reason, don't we have soldiers, don't we fight this battle?" Shen Huantian said in great distress.
Fang Ling smiled and said: "I will call you back this time, I want to say this, although there is still a period of time before the rebellion of the Eight Kings subsides, but we need to focus on a more long-term plan, because what this king wants is not these few small territories, but the power of the entire Chu State!"
Everyone nodded, and Fang Ling gestured towards Mo Xiang, "Now you can talk about the second possibility." ”
Mo Xiang listened to what Fang Ling said, and knew that he had already planned, but he just said it through his own mouth, she secretly admired this young king in her heart, and said softly: "The second possibility is that Cai and Wu, and even the Yue State in the south of our country will raise troops to attack our Chu State, because the Rebellion of the Eight Kings has caused war on three sides in the north, east and south of our country, and once the three of them attack, they will definitely be able to break through the border defense line and occupy a lot of territory." ”
Dong Canghai frowned and said: "This is very bad, once the Three Kingdoms invade, Empress Song is very likely to send us to the border to deal with the army of the Three Kingdoms, this is not as simple as dealing with the Eight Kings Rebellion." ”
Fang Ling smiled slightly: "On the surface, it is indeed not good, but this is a turning point. ”
"Turnaround?" asked Dong Canghai and the others with suspicious expressions.
Fang Ling said with a smile: "If you want to seize the power of the Chu State, in addition to the justifiable reasons, the most important thing is to have strength, if this king can stop the offensive of the three kingdoms of Cai, Wu and Yue, then even the emperor will not be able to expel me from this area, and a quarter of this Chu country will naturally become the king's bag." ”
Everyone was secretly taken aback when they heard this, and Mo Xiang couldn't help but ask: "But how can Your Highness stop the offensive of the Three Kingdoms? These three kingdoms have long been eyeing our country, and it is impossible to give up the good opportunity of the Eight Kings Rebellion. ”
