Chapter 31 Jing Guosi
Various countries are taking action, and as the second-to-last country in theory and the weakest in practice, the atmosphere is also anxious.
From the current point of view, the strength of Jing Guo is greater than that of Xia Guo, ranking third among all countries, and seventy or eighty thousand heavily armored knights are also monsters in other places.
But he was in Yuzhou, and in the current game of the four countries, Xia won two battles in a row, defeating Zhao State, the first powerful country in the world, and the paper data was no longer useful.
In addition to the theory of Xia Guo, Jingguo of the Three Kingdoms of Yuzhou is the weakest, although King Jing overwhelmed the other princes and ascended to the throne, but the loss of civil war personnel, coupled with the fact that Zhao took advantage of the chaos to take away two lands, all made Jingguo's vitality greatly damaged.
Now, on the contrary, it is the weakest of the three countries, and the whole country does not feel the vitality of peace, and is shrouded in gloom.
Jingguo is now faintly isolated, and the Zhao State and Zheng State bordering it are more or less at odds with it, one took advantage of the danger to take away the land of Jingguo, and the little prince who supported it was defeated and executed, and King Jing did not come to congratulate him when he ascended the throne.
Therefore, the national atmosphere of Jingguo feels depressed, because the war that may come at any time, the war has reached the door, which can be felt by a keen sense of smell.
Especially some families, blowing the wind to each other, a little news is a frightened bird, and the chaotic news also makes it difficult for Jingguo to be stable.
Just after pacifying the country, King Jing was complacent, and hurriedly pulled up his national teacher and the prince to discuss the future.
"Zhao Guo is making such a fuss, what is he going to do if he loses his strength, he is crazy?" King Jing is a slightly old middle-aged man, and the old King Jing is too capable of boiling, so he can only be the prince for sixty years.
Zhao Guo has the purpose of Zhao State, naturally it is not crazy, but for King Jing, there is no difference between self-surrender and madness.
"It's to unify the military power, Zhao and Xia lost badly in the battle, and now we must change in order to ensure victory in the next war with Xia."
The national teacher is a young man, and his body is not the Taoist robe that traditional monks like to wear, but a brocade robe with flower cloud sleeves.
"Xia Guo is also powerful, he can make Zhao Guo suffer such a big loss, I heard that Empress Dowager Zhao entered Xia and gave birth to a son to King Xia, King Xia really doesn't dislike it."
King Jing sighed and said, I don't know if it's a compliment or sarcasm, the whole world knows that Zhao Guo lost his wife and lost his soldiers, and Zhao Wang's mother didn't want it, and he didn't want it.
"Empress Dowager Zhao is a cultivator, her appearance is just like a twenty-eight girl, what does King Xia dislike, but she suddenly became King Zhao's little father, happy."
The national teacher ridiculed that the first power in the world is deflated, and it can be said to be a kind of political correctness in Jingguo Heizhao State.
"So King Zhao can break the kettle like this, such a stimulus is indispensable, he is also stupid, how could he think of driving the royal expedition in person, and the son of a daughter can't sit in the hall and don't understand the reason?"
King Jing said disdainfully, he didn't know the internal reasons, and only looked at the appearance, King Zhao's decision-making was like a disease.
Of course, the reason for the careful study of King Zhao did not stand still, his prestige did not unite the family, did not play a role in unifying the family, and even with the ministers did not achieve the effect of fighting against the water, resulting in the fiasco of King Zhao's personal expedition, the family has its own calculations that are considered a failure, but King Zhao also has to carry a cauldron and take leadership responsibility.
"These monarchs have their own arrogance, King Zhao is young and vigorous, if he wants to establish his prestige through military exploits, where will he know that he will encounter the Xia Kingdom like a tiger and wolf, and now the ministers don't understand, how Zhao Guo loses and how Xia Guo wins, but the second time is clearer."
The national teacher shook his head, he didn't know what to say, the monarchs always had a sense of self-confidence, the more powerful the monarch, the more so, thinking that he was the chosen one, so everything he did seemed to be what he wanted.
He misunderstood King Zhao, King Zhao was really thoughtful at the time, but he really didn't expect the family to be so clear.
"I won't be like this, I won't be sloppy in such a big thing as fighting for the dragon, but our current situation is not optimistic, Zheng Guo and Zhao Guo are eyeing us."
King Jing took it as a warning, and it was also because of his age, he tended to be conservative, and he did not have the vigor of a young man.
"To be precise, there is only Zheng Guo, Zhao Guo's biggest enemy at the moment is Xia Guo, for the sharp knife behind him that may be backstabbed at any time, Zhao Guo wants to turn his head and break it all the time, and everything he does now is also to prepare for dealing with Xia Guo, not to deal with us, our enemy is only Zheng Guo."
The national teacher analyzed, Zhao Guo integrated the military system, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Xia Guo, otherwise to deal with Zheng Guo and Jing Guo, he had already shown with actual combat that there was no need to reform the military system, and Jing Guo's two ways still fell into the hands of Zhao Guo.
"Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo, alas......" Speaking of Zheng Guo, King Jing sighed, not knowing what to say, the intimacy between the two sides became like this.
It was impossible for him to accept Zheng Guo's advice to leave his little brother and leave the difficulties to his son, he couldn't do it, so he saw that the relationship between the two sides had become so stiff.
He glanced at his son, who was also middle-aged, and he didn't want to have an uncle of his age to seize power, so the best way to deal with it was to send his younger brother to his father.
"Father, prepare early, Zhao Guo's has already been in contact with Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo's purpose is our Jingguo, this doesn't need to be thought about anymore."
Prince Jing suggested that the current Zheng Guo could no longer be regarded as the original ally, and that both sides had their own ghosts and coveted each other's land and population.
"Your Highness is right, now even the two great gods Gou Chen and Ziwei have no way to reconcile the contradictions between Jing and Zheng, Your Majesty should not have the idea of repairing again, the current situation is either the destruction of Zheng Guo or the destruction of Jing Guo."
The national teacher also persuaded him, and heard King Jing's reluctance and regretful feelings, afraid that he would stubbornly think about the old covenant.
"No, no, I know very well, it's just a pity, I'm not that stupid, I still have expectations at this time."
King Jing waved his hand and pressed it, calming the mood of the two, he is also a qualified monarch, what kind of things can be done and what can not be done has a rod and scale in his heart.
"Your Majesty understands that at present, our troops and land are damaged, and we must not have the idea of slacking off, otherwise we will fall apart at hand."
The national teacher solemnly warned that if the monarch of a weak country is a capitulation faction and a compromised person, then the ministers and the people will only compromise even more, and the monarch must show his determination in difficult times.
"I naturally understand, but how to alleviate our predicament, it seems that Zheng Guo has joined forces with Zhao Guo, and Xia Guo has also sent a messenger, saying that the two sides may make a fuss about our two lands, you see how to solve it."
I don't know the specific plan, but the matter surrounding the two lands has been investigated, which is simply bad news for Jingguo.
Zheng Guoguo, who has eaten two pieces of land, is bigger, but Jingguo is still weak, and it is even more difficult to face Zheng Guoguo, and even completely fall into the disadvantage, this situation makes people feel desperate when they think about it.
"Judging from the current intelligence, it can be speculated that Zhao Guo is using us as bait to attract Zheng Guo, and Zhao Guo intends to turn back and solve the Xia Guo behind it."
It was also after the rebellion was put down and the society was reorganized, and only a few people had time to analyze this kind of national-level intelligence, although it was basically in a backward version.
"Zhao Guo thought very well, he was motionless, and threw out a piece of meat for Jing and Zheng to fight to death."
Prince Jing said in a gloomy tone, this feeling of being used as bait is 11 million uncomfortable, but what can be done, who calls Jing Guo weak.
"The problem is that we still have to rob it, and then let Zhao Guo slip away, is this the so-called broken tail to survive, Zhao Guo did it, and the people inside have great wisdom."
King Jing said wisely, if you are willing to give up, you are reluctant to get it, if you don't throw out the bait, and continue to maintain a hostile attitude towards the Three Kingdoms, then Zhao Guo will be trapped to death, and now it seems that Zhao Guo is indeed going to escape, although the escape is not very decent, but it is indeed going to escape.
"No matter how great your wisdom is, you will lose twice in a row in the battle with Xia Guo, father, it is impossible for you to still be afraid of Zhao Guo."
Prince Jing, who is in his thirties and forties, is fearless, and the performance of Zhao Guo's paper tiger is deeply impressive, although Jing Guo is defeated, is it because you Zhao Guo engaged in a sneak attack, or is it to eat the second prince with a thin army, which is also worth showing off?
"Why don't you be afraid, Zhao Guo's defeat to Xia Guo does not mean that we will lose, forget it, we don't need to deal with Zhao Guo at present, let alone others, is there a way to fight Zheng Guo."
King Jing said steadily, I am afraid of Zhao is not a day or two, how can it be so easy to overcome, and the friction of the size has not taken advantage, but I have suffered a lot.
"The minister has two strategies, but neither of them is the best choice, Your Majesty, please listen to Your Highness."
Returning to the topic of Zheng Guo, the national teacher couldn't help but show a headache expression, Jing Guo is really weak, Zheng Guo is really tricky, there is no way.
"National teacher, please speak, I'll listen to you." It is inherently difficult for one person to deal with crises with limited resources and space.
"First, form an alliance with Zhao State, Zhao State hopes that the rear will be stable when he attacks Xia State, then we will break with Zheng State, form an alliance with Zhao State, and let him return our two ways, and act as Zhao State's thug here to deter Zheng State."
The national teacher slowly talked about his plan, and then made up for the shortcomings, and poured a scoop of cold water on King Jing's father and son when their eyes lit up.
"Zhao Guo doesn't want to see the balance of power between us and Zheng Guo, because our strength is balanced with Zheng Guo, and there will naturally be alliance instead of confrontation."
"And Zhao Guo cleaned up Xia Guo and turned back, it must be us, but we are just sitting on the ground and waiting for death, losing the opportunity to dominate the world, we can only solve the current urgent need, unless Zhao Guo loses to Xia Guo by another big advantage, otherwise the future can be seen."
"What about the second suggestion." Hearing the disadvantages and consequences, Prince Jing frowned, not to mention whether this matter could be done, even if it was done, it would be a wedding dress for Zhao Guo.
Obviously, Zhao Guo is a trapped dragon, how can he live the feeling of swimming in a dragon, and it is difficult for him to accept this
In the end, which monarch can accept his future predetermined destiny is a failure, especially a powerful monarch like them.
"What is the second suggestion of the national teacher, let's make a choice." King Jing also found this ending unacceptable,
"The second strategy is to gamble, we attack Zhao State, ignore Zheng State, and invite Xia State to attack Zhao State, if we succeed, we will stand on three legs, and if we fail, we will also die and the country will be destroyed."
There was a touch of madness in the words of the national teacher, and he expressed his imagination.
"Don't care about Zheng Guo's problem, just one chance to eliminate, eliminate Zhao Guo, if, so that we can find a place in this struggle."
"How is it possible, no matter if Zheng Guo and Xia Guo join forces to eliminate Zhao Guo, how is this possible, Zhao Guo has more than 100,000 armor."
Prince Jing immediately jumped out to oppose it, just listening to it made his heart tremble, such a radical gamble on the country, and it would be all over if he lost.
"National teacher, go on, what are the chances?" King Jing's face was calm, and he was not frightened, but asked about the specific details.
"There is only one chance, less than two percent, no, maybe less than one percent, Zhao State's military system reform will have the weakest moment, this moment Zhao State is the weakest time of Zhao State, and it is also the time when we are weak, and it is also the time when Xia State is weak, at this time to attack, as long as Zhao State is defeated and his flesh and blood are divided, then Jing Guo can return to the moment when the Three Kingdoms are established."
There was light in the eyes of the national teacher, and he clenched his fists, as if he had thought of that kind of scene, a cultivator should not take such a risk, but after studying the situation, he could only come up with this trick that was almost self-destructing.
"Then what about Zheng Guo, if he didn't defeat Zhao Guo and was attacked by Zheng Guo...... "There is no need for the national teacher to say that Prince Jing can find a lot of disadvantages, all of which are fatal shortcomings.
"So ask the monarch to drive the expedition in person, Your Majesty or His Royal Highness stay, can only succeed and not fail, if Zheng Guo attacks us, it means that they will not participate in the conquest of Zhao State, our elite is transferred out, what he gets is nothing more than a piece of white land, these seventy or eighty thousand iron horses cut off the back road, give it to Zhao State or Xia State, Zheng Guo can't accept it, he can only attack Zhao State with us, so as to maintain their interests, otherwise they will face the iron horses of the Three Kingdoms, this is to put them to death and live later!"
"At the same time, Xia Guo is in a weak state at the moment and is not in harmony with the family, grabbing land and soldiers is far less attractive than our Jingguo, because we are weak, the family is more willing to help us, and we can get a large part of Zhao Guo's corpse!"
The planning and assumption of the national teacher can be called crazy, isn't this just that one of the two of them is waiting for death, and the other person is going out with the elite?
"Ridiculous, like this, what to do with such a foundation, these royal relatives ......" Prince Jing was speechless.
"But in this way, we can fight for the world, Zheng Guo will not be dizzy, and we can once again have the capital to fight for the world......"
"My home is gone, how can I ......?"
"Okay, okay, when will the envoys of the Xia Kingdom arrive......
The final word, the old people, probably have lived enough.
