Chapter 367: Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp
The war has begun!
Under the city of Luoyang, the Zhi clan led the coalition army to attack the east of Luoyang, and the three clans of Han, Zhao and Wei joined forces to attack the west.
The two city gates were attacked at the same time, but what is there in Luoyang?
The six armies of the Son of Heaven have long since declined, and their glory is no longer there.
used to be the three dukes of the Great Zhou, which were all positions that the princes wanted to do even if they broke their heads, but now, who is still rare to be the third duke of the Great Zhou.
It didn't take long for the Son of Heaven to come on his own.
Slowly, the information of the Son of Heaven was exposed in the process of shooting again and again.
The more information is exposed, the more people will know about the Son of Heaven. In the future, when it comes to the Son of Heaven, it will be easier.
Luoyang City fell into a war of attrition, and for the Zhi clan and the Han Zhao Wei San clan, it was the best of both worlds to use cannon fodder from other countries to consume Zhou Tianzi's strength and test Zhou Tianzi's intelligence.
Of course, Zhou Tianzi knew the enemy's purpose, but he had no choice.
Just like Song Hou at this moment, Song Hou has no choice.
"What do you say? The Zhi clan issued an order, asking the Song State to provide another 30,000 Xuan-level Dao soldiers? ”
"Ridiculous!"
"Over the years, how many Xuan-level Dao soldiers have been provided to the Zhi clan by the Song Kingdom, and the Zhi clan is still not satisfied?"
"Yes, didn't you just provide five thousand Xuan-level Dao soldiers last month?"
"The envoy of the Zhi clan said that after providing 30,000 Xuan-level Dao soldiers this time, within two years, he will no longer continue to find Song Guo to provide Xuan-level Dao soldiers."
"Huh! 30,000 Xuan-level Dao soldiers, only two years? ”
"However, I heard that there is a feudal monarch who has now destroyed the country because he scolded the envoy of the Zhi clan. Scolded yesterday morning, the Zhi clan sent troops yesterday afternoon, and the country was destroyed last night, and this morning, the head of the feudal monarch was paid tribute to Zhi Boyao. ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately became cold. The ministers stopped chattering, and remained silent one by one, waiting for Song Hou's command.
That's the Zhi family, that's the Jin Kingdom, the big guy complains a few words, and he is already very loyal, which is worthy of the Great Song Dynasty. As for the preservation of Mingzhe at the moment, this is for himself and his family. In this way, he is worthy of both the Great Song Dynasty and his own family, which is simply a double win.
silent
silent
After a long silence, Song Hou nodded helplessly: "Then prepare 30,000 Xuan-level Dao soldiers and send them over." ”
"The Lord is wise!"
"How many Xuan-level Dao soldiers are there in the country?"
"There's not much left, about 80,000."
"However, if you take out the background to open the treasury and increase the speed of training of Dao soldiers, this number can still grow, and in the end, with the addition of the major nobles, there are also 200,000. It's just that these 200,000 Xuan-level Dao soldiers are the last foundation of the Song Kingdom. Once depleted, there will be no more in the future. ”
Hearing this, Song Hou waved his hand, and a map appeared in front of everyone, and the core of this map was the Song Kingdom.
To the left of the Song State is Zheng Guo, who was once strong, and when he was the strongest, he almost became the overlord. However, it has since declined, and it is a typical ancestral broad, but now the scenery is no more.
The upper left of the Song State is Wei Guo, and there are many Yin Shang relics in the country, but the monarch of Wei Guo has always been a person surnamed Ji, so the treatment of Wei Guo and the treatment of Song Guo are completely different.
The remnants of Yin Shang in China have not obeyed the monarch very much. Therefore, the defense of the country has never been broad.
The upper right of the Song State is the Lu State, the Lu State is a genuine powerhouse, once competed with the Qi State, and has been competing for many years, but unfortunately it is the same problem, and now it is not good, and it is just the scenery of the past.
The lower left of the Song State is Chen Guo, Chen Guo has long been dead, mainly because he has been beaten by Chu State, and he is often beaten by Chu State, and if he is beaten too much, he will not be able to do it.
The lower right of the Song State was originally the Xu State, but now it has become the Wu State.
Song Hou looked at the map carefully, looked at it for half an hour, and finally said helplessly: "Gu once heard a saying, called big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp." ”
"Compared with the Zhi clan and the Jin Kingdom, my Song Kingdom is just a small fish, and in the face of the Zhi clan's request, the widow does not dare to refuse and cannot refuse, because this is the sorrow of the small fish."
"However, there were also many small vassal states near the Song Kingdom. Most of these small vassal states only have dozens of counties. ”
As he spoke, Song Hou pointed to one of the small countries and said, "This country has a total of sixty-five counties, and the last time the first dynasty appeared in this country was 100,000 years ago. ”
"Thirty years ago, the country began to reform, and today, sixty-five counties have achieved initial development, the mountains have disappeared, the demons have disappeared, and in their place are the Great Plains, the weather control system of Yancheng, and the agricultural planting system of Yancheng."
"There are 65 counties in the country, and the average area is not large."
In the vassal states of the Central Plains, a county that may have 50,000 square kilometers is already a famous county. Many small counties have an area of only about 20,000 square kilometers.
"The country now has sixty-five counties, one thousand and thirty counties, and a total population of about 70 million."
"At present, the country has about 1.2 billion acres of land, which is a remarkable asset."
"However, the country has been reforming in recent years, so it is not easy to swallow the country in one go, and we need to design it beforehand."
"If you can successfully annex the country and use the country's wealth, you can at least train 100,000 Xuan-level Dao soldiers in one go. Although it is a one-off, it can at least breathe a sigh of relief and extend the national glory for the Great Song Dynasty for a period of time. ”
"In addition, the country has always acted as a buffer between the Great Song and Lu in the past, and in addition to this country, there are two small vassal states and a total of more than ten feudal monarchs."
"In the past, they were needed to act as a buffer, lest the Great Song Dynasty and the Lu State go to war directly, so that there would be no room for maneuver."
Moreover, in the past, the specific outbreak of the war between the Song and Lu states was among these small vassal states. As for whether the small vassal states will oppose it, who cares?
The Song State and the Lu State are indeed not as good as the Qi State and the Qin State, but they are also genuine large vassal states, and there are the first generations in the country.
"After the country is determined to forge ahead and continue to reform, the original five Xuan-level Dao soldiers have now been replenished to the upper limit, and each Dao soldier has at least five thousand people. In addition, four Xuan-level Dao soldiers were purchased and trained from Yancheng at a high price, and now there are about 60,000 Xuan-level Dao soldiers. ”
"It's not enough, the four Xuan-level Dao soldiers trained in Yancheng are still being trained, so in fact, there are only about 30,000 Xuan-level Dao soldiers now. 30,000 is not a lot, this is self-defeating, when can the small vassal states be so strong? ”
"Therefore, Lone decided to directly ask the country to provide 20,000 Xuan-level Dao soldiers, and if he dares to refuse, this is to refuse the order of the Jin State and the kindness of the Zhi Clan, this is to kill himself!"
"Then we have enough reasons to conquer the country."
Speaking of this, Song Hou looked at the map in front of him and sighed again.
After these small vassal states and feudal lords are eaten, who else can they eat?
Moreover, Song Hou can also think that if he eats this small vassal state, will Lu Hou take the opportunity to eat other small vassal states?
Not only Lu Hou, but also the small vassal states and feudal monarchs who acted as buffers between Song and Wei, Zheng, Chen, and Wu, will also be eaten?
Won't Wei Guo, Zheng Guo, Chen Guo, and Wu Guo do the same?
Now, eating the small princes and feudal monarchs can indeed strengthen the power of the Song Kingdom, but when the power of the Song Kingdom grows, will the Zhi clan want more next time?
Could it be that he worked hard and tried his best to eat the small country, and before he had time to digest it, then the Zhi clan came to rob him?
It's almost a given!
As soon as he thought of such a future, Song Hou felt as if he was overwhelmed!
Song Hou only felt that he couldn't breathe at the moment!
Dark!
It's so dark!
But what can be done?
Can the Song State rebel against the Jin State?
No!
Can the Song State rebel against the Qi State?
This is okay, the Song State and the Lu State still dare to resist the Qi State.
So can the Song Kingdom, the Garu Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom, rebel against the Jin Kingdom?
You can give it a try, but this alliance can't exist, because the Song State is a remnant of Yin Shang and is inherently evil in the eyes of the Central Plains princes. In the past, the Song Kingdom was ruined, and now they dare not trust the Lu Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom.
You must know that the Lu Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom are both authentic princes surnamed Ji, not princes surnamed Ji.
But immediately, Song Hou began to comfort himself.
The superficial wealth of these countries remained in the Song Kingdom, but the real wealth in the secret was all sold to the Creation Tianzun, and then let the Tianzun help to give the Song Kingdom more opportunities to survive the catastrophe.
Even if you can't save a perfect real person, it's good to save a one-time big real person!
A one-time real person, it's not so expensive, right?
If the wealth of a small country is not enough, then destroy a few more small countries!
In any case, be sure to save at least one one-time real person.
In today's era, there is no sense of security without a real person.
Thinking of this, Song Hou began to order many high-level leaders to discuss how to annex the buffer country at a lower cost.
It didn't take long for Song Hou's thoughts to leak out.
The whole world knew that the Song State was planning to attack the small vassal states that acted as a buffer.
However, there was not a single one who jumped out to block it, and those who jumped out to denounce Song Guo.
At this moment, the high-level of Lu Hou and Lu Guo have already prepared the plan for the praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow birds: Song State will attack the small country next door, and then Lu State will also carry out a sneak attack when the main forces of the two sides are in a decisive battle, so that they can not only harvest twenty or thirty counties, but also not consume much main force, which is simply a win.
And the Chen State and Wu State next door also thought about it, and after the Song State was the first to do so, they also quickly attacked other small princes and feudal monarchs. If you ask, you will say that the bad species of the Song State has made a bad start, and Lone actually doesn't want to, but Lone can't help it, the other princes do this, for the sake of the people, Lone can only do this.
After Song Xianggong, after many years, the Song State once attracted the attention of the princes.
