Chapter 183, Discuss the remnants

"Xu Duan, who is this little guy? Also, how did you become a protector?" Cheng You's envoy was surprised, and said.

"Well, this subordinate doesn't know. It was Ren Zuo who asked me to protect the way for him. Xu Duan said respectfully.

"Xiao Ren, what kind of fame is this Xiao Ren, can he give away people casually?"

"This subordinate is not clear either. ”

"Since that's the case, then forget it, Xiao Ren has his own reasons for giving the freedom order to this little doll. Hey, little doll, you can go, and in three months I will send someone to set off to start a caravan in your Phantom City. "Cheng right envoy to Yi Canghong said.

"Thank you. Leave. After Yi Canghong finished speaking, he left.

As soon as he came outside, Chu Er hurriedly walked over and whispered, "How is it? Is there a half of the tax result of the negotiation?"

He agreed, and we could collect 30% of the tax. Yi Canghong said.

"Sancheng?" Chu Er said with a stunned face: "How did you get this Sancheng?" Do you know that as soon as I opened my mouth to say Sancheng, I actually wanted to wait for him to bargain, and in the end, if I could receive half of it, I would be satisfied. ”

"One and a half?" Yi Canghong was stunned and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Yi Canghong smiled.

"You ......" Chu'er was speechless.

"Alright, let's go get something to eat, it's been a long time since we've eaten. After Yi Canghong finished speaking, he took the lead and walked up, Chu Er saw that Yi Canghong didn't explain and didn't bother to ask, so he directly grabbed Yi Canghong's arm and followed happily.

Coming to a tavern, Yi Canghong ordered three side dishes. A jug of wine. Just waiting for the food to be served.

"Why do you just order these dishes?" Chu Er said.

"Then how much more do you want to order, can you finish eating more?" Yi Canghong said.

"I ......" Chu'er didn't dare to speak. Because Chu'er also knew that Yi Canghong had always been such a provincial person. The current Chu'er loves Yi Canghong so much that he doesn't even have the most basic precautions.

"Have you heard? There was a war on the border of our Changping Empire, and just today, the army of our Changping Empire drove them out, and I heard that the other party seems to be the remnants of the Shanghuai Empire that was destroyed before. At this time, more than a dozen people who were eating started chatting.

"I've known about this for a long time, and here's the thing, those Shang Huai Yu pretended to be slaves who were driven out by the Luo family. Guarding there, just waiting for those who took the lead to give an order, they rushed into it in one fell swoop, which led to the loss of the border city, hey, there has been no war for so long, no wonder it is so vulnerable, those Shang Huai Yu suddenly attacked, and took several cities on the border in one fell swoop, and later the king of Changping personally led the army to drive them out. I heard that the king of Changping also sent a large army to chase and kill all the way to the past!"

"No wonder Princess Qingling is in such a hurry to drive the slaves out. ”

"Don't say it. I've also received news that the same thing has happened to our neighbor, the Zhongyuan Empire, which is said to be not as good as us, and that the remnants of Shang Huai have now occupied more than a dozen cities, and are in a stalemate!"

"Why don't you say this Shang Huai remnant is not going, but it is causing chaos in our two empires?"

"Hehe, you don't know this, do you know that among the six empires, the Fengjiang Empire has the largest land area, and the land area of our Changping Empire and the Zhongyuan Empire was originally ranked last, but now, as we all know, the Zhongyuan Empire ranks second in terms of land area, and our Changping Empire ranks third, why is this?"

"You still need to say that our Changping Empire and the Zhongyuan Empire have divided the original Shanghuai Empire!"

"That's right, you think, that's why those Shang Huai remnants are only making trouble in these two empires and not in other empires. ”

......

The wine and food that Yi Canghong ordered came up, and listening to the group of people talking about national affairs with the mentality of a bystander was also comfortable for Yi Canghong.

"No wonder that Princess Qingling would do this, it turned out that they had thought of this section earlier. Yi Canghong smiled bitterly.

"What's so strange about this, if you don't even have this brain, how can you manage a big empire! It's just that no one would have thought that it would be the remnants of the Shang Huai Empire who would take the opportunity to make trouble. Chu'er said while eating.

"That's right, but aren't those remnants of the Shanghuai Empire too anxious, they just occupied that little place, and they were driven out again, obviously they are not strong enough, and they expose themselves too early without any strength, will they be too stupid?" Yi Canghong said with a smile.

"It stands to reason that they really shouldn't do it at this time, but it's different if you think about this matter backwards, what if their purpose isn't to occupy those cities?" Chu Er said.

"Isn't it?" Yi Canghong was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "If their purpose is not to occupy those cities, then what is their purpose?

"Hmmm! If it's me, there are only two purposes for occupying those places, the first is to occupy them for a long time, and you must put heavy troops to guard them in case they are attacked by the opponent, if you don't have the corresponding strength, and you have to do this, then as long as you are a person with a little brain, you won't do it, unless there is some conspiracy or something in these places is what they want to get, as long as the things are in hand, they will immediately evacuate, but on the surface, there should be a conspiracy, or that there is something in those places that is worth the risk they take。 Chu'er analyzed.

"Then what do you think they are doing this for?" Yi Canghong said.

"I think they did this for only one purpose, which was to divert the forces of the King of Changping outside the empire, and then annihilate them by stratagem, the purpose was to consume the forces of his empire, and they attacked the cities there, presumably they wanted to make some war supplies. Chu'er said.

"Then why isn't this the case on the side of the Zhongyuan Empire? Could it be that they are not together, or that their main force is on the side of the Zhongyuan Empire?"

"This is not to say where the main force is, strictly speaking, this should be a false image deliberately created by Shang Huai Yu, let me say this, first talk about the Changping Empire, I think their plan should be like this, they divided into a small batch to attack the city and then grab the supplies, in order to cause the anger of the Changping Empire, the Changping King of the Changping Empire, is a dignified generation of princes, also famous fierce generals, the most loved thing in his life is face, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a tendon, and his most trusted staff officer also died of illness three years ago, and the military and political power is in his hands, during his time in charge of military power, Shang Huai Yu Xi is undoubtedly slapping the face of the king of Changping, so it is not difficult to let him send a large army to encircle and suppress this small group of remnants, as long as Shang Huai remnants drag this group of remnants for a period of time, lead them into a trap, and when they are exhausted, they will come out to encircle and suppress, which will undoubtedly be twice the result with half the effort. When this army is destroyed, they will unite with the remnants who were originally hidden in the territory of the Changping Empire to join forces with the outside world, and it will be difficult to win this battle. As for the Zhongyuan Empire, it is just a pretense, they want to make a false image, so that everyone thinks that the main force of Shang Huai Yu has been in the Zhongyuan Empire, and as soon as the Changping Empire is taken down, it is not difficult to go to the Zhongyuan Empire. Chu'er said her opinion and said.

"Hehe! This trick is dangerous enough, but in such a big place as the Changping Empire, is it so easy for them to take it?" Yi Canghong said.

"In fact, they don't have to take down the entire Changping Empire, you see, here is the Changping Empire, here is the Zhongyuan Empire, the border between the two countries, there is a river called Yuanping River in the middle, interspersed between the two countries, this river is equivalent to a natural risk, they just need to take this natural danger to the border of the empire here, as long as they divide their troops to hold this place, then they can keep the peace. Chu Er explained as she took the wine with her white jade finger and drew it on the table. (To be continued......)
