Chapter 363: The Strategy of the Two Tigers to Compete for Food
"No, Yue Guo can't do nothing, Wu and Da Yue are mortal enemies, Wu Yue is not on the same side, the envoy of Chu State is here again, and Gu decided to take advantage of the decisive battle between the two sides on the front line to directly rob a wave of Wu State."
When Wen Chong heard this, he only felt speechless: "And then? ”
"After the main force of the Wu State returns, will the Chu State still help us delay the Wu State?"
"Where can the main force of Wu come back? Even if he comes back, he will inevitably lose his troops. At that time, the state of Chu won a great victory, and it was definitely necessary to take advantage of the situation to attack and weaken the state of Wu. ”
"What's more, even if Da Yue doesn't make a move, after this battle is over, Wu Guo will most likely still send troops to Da Yue."
The Yue State attacked the Wu State, and the Wu State would retaliate against the Yue State afterwards.
Yue Guo is honest, Wu Guo will still attack Yue Guo afterwards.
In this case, it is better to fight with Wu Guo and take the opportunity to attack Wu Guo's ass.
"Over the years, the State of Wu has robbed the State of Chu and obtained countless benefits, so let's rob them all this time!"
Looking at Gou Jian, who was bent on robbing Wu Guo, Wen Chong was silent, he didn't know what to say.
After thinking for a while, Wen Chong said: "In this case, the lord might as well ask Yancheng for help, at least he can get some support." The attack of the Yue State on the Wu State is also what Yancheng is willing to see. ”
"And we need to not only start this war, but also think about how it will end."
Speaking of this, Wen Chong bowed seriously to Gou Jian: "Lord, have you ever thought about the end of the Battle of Yingdu, and Wu led the main force to attack Yue, what should Yue do at that time?" ”
Gou Jian shook his head helplessly: "There is no way, but Da Yue's strength is insufficient, and this is also a choice without a choice." ”
It was very wretched to be destroyed by Wu Guo, so it is better to have a good fight with Wu Guo.
Then, using the ancestral heritage, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose this battle. As for what to do if the ancestral heritage fails, then it will be cold.
Wen Chong thought for a while: "The minister has an idea, if, what the minister said is if." ”
"If it really comes to that day, when Wu Guobing is in the city, Da Yue is not an opponent, and he is losing and retreating, and when he is in danger of losing the country, we might as well cut the land directly."
"It's useless to cut the land, it can destroy you, who will cut your land? Wu Guo didn't agree either. ”
"No, what the minister means is that the land is directly ceded to Yancheng, which is the strategy of the two tigers to compete for food."
"Today, there is no land on the land of Yancheng to develop."
"The north of Yancheng used to be the State of Xu, and now it is the State of Wu. The west of Yancheng has always been the state of Wu. To the south of Yancheng is our Dayue. To the east of Yancheng is the ocean. ”
"Now, Yancheng has bordered Wu and our Yue Kingdom, and there is no undeveloped jungle on land for Yancheng to continue to develop. Therefore, for so many years, there have been more than 100 counties on the land of Yancheng, but 400 counties have been developed on the ocean, all of which are land reclamation. ”
"If there is an opportunity, Yancheng will definitely be willing to continue to explore on land."
However, Yancheng has always paid more attention to its image, and is unwilling to start a war lightly and settle down on the truth. This world, after all, is the world of princes and nobles, but Yancheng is composed of qi practitioners, and Yancheng is like an alternative, so for a long time, Yancheng rarely waged wars on land. ”
"However, it's not that Yancheng is unwilling, but Yancheng itself is different, so you have to be cautious and look forward to every move."
"On the other hand, as long as Yancheng does not expand on land, the other vassal states are also happy that Yancheng will remain neutral. I don't want to offend Yancheng, but once Yancheng no longer maintains neutrality, then Yancheng's business in various countries will not be able to continue. ”
Today, it's time to take sides!
Who you are and what country you are from determines whether your business in a certain country is good or not.
If you don't have anyone behind you, then no matter how talented you are, your business won't be big. If you want to be big, you must either become a part of the aristocracy, or become the white glove of the great nobles.
In the past, Yancheng did not open up the land, and the vassal states on the land did not want to offend Yancheng, so the business of Yancheng could be done all day long, every country, every feudal monarch, had a store in Yancheng, and the goods of Yancheng could be sold all day long.
But once Yancheng intervened in the princes' struggle for hegemony, the status of transcendence was gone, and the status of the neutral was gone.
Just like the war between Yancheng and Qi, after it began, Qi banned all business in Yancheng in its territory. The goods in Yancheng have shifted from the open to the dark, and although the black market is more expensive, the shipments are far less than in the past.
Qi did this himself, and he also asked Qi State's vassal countries to do the same.
And when Yancheng also begins to compete for hegemony, all countries that want to compete for hegemony will react to Yancheng.
Banning the sale of goods in Yancheng is just one of the most common means. Assassinations, robberies, wars, all are alternatives.
As for the fact that this will lead to the inability to buy many cheap goods, and will affect the quality of life of the common people in the country, this is not important to the princes and nobles.
For them, their dominance is the most important thing. Nothing else can compare to this.
As for the opposition of the common people? What to oppose? Power is in the hands of great nobles and monarchs.
"Plus the Three Sages, so in the past, the princes were happy to see that Yancheng had always remained neutral."
"However, the princes never expected that in the blink of an eye, in just a few decades, Yancheng has grown from a small country that is harmless to animals to such a powerful point today."
"Many princes, it is estimated that they are also regretting it at this time, but they are just not afraid of Yancheng for the time being."
For powerful countries such as the Jin State, the Chu State, and the Qi State, how to toss small countries, how to toss the small countries nearby, how to toss the immortals to death, how can they not develop, they have a lot of experience in this area. Conspiracy, what they can't think of, they have done.
It's just that I never expected that Yancheng doesn't talk about martial arts, and the development is so fast that when many methods want to be used, they are no longer of great use.
Now, the Jin Kingdom is going to be divided, and each country has its own top priorities, so there is no time to manage Yancheng.
For the Jin Kingdom, the civil war was a first-class event.
For the state of Chu, driving away the state of Wu is a first-class major event.
For Wu Guo, finding a way to end decently or win another game is the most important thing.
For the Qin State, finding a way to steal chickens and get to Hangu Pass is the most important thing.
For the Qi Guotian clan, seizing the time to usurp the country and justifying it is the most important thing.
Compared with these top priorities, suppressing the development of Yancheng has become a second-level major event. It is important to suppress the development of Yancheng, but it is not as important as what we are about to face now.
Although the future is important, the big guys still value the present more.
Speaking of this, Wen Chong sighed: "Yancheng is developing too fast, and the timing is too good." ”
"After the Jin Civil War, all countries in the world also have more important things, and no country will suppress Yancheng at all costs. If the Jin State is not divided, if the Jin State is still the hegemon, then the Jin State will indeed suppress Yancheng at all costs. Just like the Jin State used to suppress the Chu State in the south, the Qin State in the west, and the Qi State in the east. ”
Only the overlord has the strength and willingness to suppress other princes who may impact the overlord's position.
However, after the civil strife in the Jin State this time, the Chu State, the Qin State, the Qi State, and Yancheng all want to be the overlords, and at this time, who has the time and energy to suppress Yancheng?
Such an external situation, Wen Chong sighed once he thought about it, Yancheng is a master!
"Therefore, for Yancheng today, it is very important to have an opportunity to expand its power reasonably and legally on land and continue to develop."
"This reason must be justified, and no one can pick out the kind that is not a word."
"For Yancheng, they have to maintain their reputation in the past and continue to attract talent from all over the world, but also expand on land, which is both and again."
"Reclamation sounds great, but the cost is scary. Now, the high mountains in the territory of Wu and Yue have almost been moved. There are also high mountains in a thousand counties in the territory of Chu, which have all been moved away and filled into the sea, so that there are these four hundred counties. ”
"In the future, land reclamation will only become more and more difficult."
"Therefore, when Wu Guobing is in the city, when Huiji may not be able to hold it, we might as well try to directly cede all the territory bordering Yue and Wu to Yancheng, and even we can also give Yancheng those counties bordering the jungle in the south."
"In this way, Yancheng is equivalent to bearing the pressure of Wu for us. And at that time, the Yue Kingdom also became an ordinary vassal state with only more than 100 counties. ”
"Although there is no possibility of competing for hegemony, at least it can ensure safety."
"There is a high probability that Yancheng will not refuse such a deal."
After this transaction, the Yue Kingdom avoided the danger of losing the country, and Yancheng harvested at least 100 counties, and also had the opportunity to continue to expand to the south. There are countless jungles and mountains in the south, as well as countless tribes and demons, for Yancheng, these are resources, and the difficulty of reclamation is much smaller than land reclamation. ”
"The most important thing is that we take the initiative to ask Yancheng, so it will not destroy Yancheng's reputation."
"The only bad thing is that from now on, we may be completely surrounded by Yancheng."
"Although there will be no more direct faces of the Wu State, and there will be no more danger of destroying the country, from now on, there is a high probability that it will not continue to grow and develop."
As for the decay of Yancheng, Wen Chong felt that at least when Jiang Hua was still alive, it was impossible for Yancheng to decay.
By the time Jiang Hua died, he would have died a long time ago, and he couldn't see that far, and he couldn't care that far.
Besides, if you lose the war with the Wu State, you can finally maintain the inheritance and ensure that the country is not destroyed, which is already a good result.
Gou Jian thought about it for a long time, his face was red, his eyes were wide, and his expression was very complicated, even in the end, he didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed.
