This is what Huang Cheng wants.

Before leaving, according to Prime Minister Zhuge's instructions, his main task was to contain the movements of the Liang Kingdom and control the development of the border situation. Now it seems that the Liang Kingdom is not willing to go to war rashly.

This would give Huang Cheng a chance to fight them to the end.

Huang Cheng left the Liang Palace and came to the inn. He wrote two letters.

One letter was written about Liang Guo's attitude, that is, the conversation he had with Li Yijun. This letter was given to someone in the envoy team to deliver. The letter strongly explained something. It said that he had negotiated with Liang Guo in accordance with His Majesty's decree.

Regarding the question of whether to go to war, the tone of the letter was quite strong, with the mentality of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

If Liang Guo saw this letter, they would definitely think that today's Wei State is really not afraid of war.

He did this on purpose.

One letter was about what he had done in the Liang Kingdom and what he had guessed about the various situations of the Liang Kingdom's ministers. This letter was relatively confidential and was passed to the capital through the intelligence members of Jinyiwei.

After writing these two letters, Huang Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

Today's battle can be regarded as a victory over Liang Guo.

In the palace of Liang Kingdom.

Xu Fengyun was talking to Huang Cheng.

The two of you talked to each other and analyzed today's situation:

"Does this Wei envoy really mean to fight if he wants to fight?"

"Back to Your Majesty, we are inseparable. The Wei envoy's attitude is very clear. It is obvious that he came well prepared and his attitude is extremely tough."

"Don't all the spies we placed in the Wei Kingdom say that Huang Cheng is timid and cautious?"

"Your Majesty, I suspect that Huang Cheng did this intentionally."

"..."

Xu Fengyun frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "What's going on over there in Tang State now?"

Li Yijun replied: "Your Majesty, the army of Wei is on its way. For a while, I estimate that there will be no movement from the Tang army."

Xu Fengyun frowned even more tightly now, and then asked: "Where is Duan Guo?"

Li Yijun said: "The measures they took are still to watch the fire from the other side. However, I can be sure that they are also watching the Tang State's attitude. At the same time, they are also carefully guarding against the Tang State's exact movements."

I don’t want Duan Guo to be like this.

The conspiracy between Tang and Duan was said to be about borrowing the road. What if the road is borrowed and not returned?

Duan Guo is taking risks.

Xu Fengyun thought about it seriously and said to Li Yijun like an exhortation: "Let the Wei envoys aside and let the border conflict brew for two days. When they can't bear it anymore, let us take the initiative. At the same time,

Let’s also see what the Tang State actually means. After all, among the countries now, the only one that can compete with the Wei State is the Tang State.”

He was a little confused and didn't understand what the Emperor of Tang was still waiting for.

If you miss such an excellent opportunity, you may not know that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse next time.

Li Yijun clasped his fists and resigned.

There doesn't seem to be any good solution at the moment.

Everyone in the world says that the first bird is shot, but this is not just rhetoric.

Therefore, even if things really develop to the point where only war can solve the problem, Liang cannot be the first to break out the war against Wei.

Tang State is the best victim.

Because even the Wei State at its peak was probably only a 50-50 match against the Tang State's overall strength.

However, Tang Guo kept looking forward and backward, which made Liang Guo very anxious.

So far, Li Yijun is not only worried about this issue, he is also worried about other things.

For example, the emperor of Wei State is about to be granted Zen status.

As long as he is granted Zen status in Chu State, the emperor of Wei State will truly be invincible among other countries.

By then, it will be difficult to fight against what the people want.

However, bad news still spread across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Zhao Changqing was enshrined in the state of Chu.

And the Zen ceremony was very successful.

Now Zhao Changqing has combined the fortunes of the two countries into one.

Unless there are really masters in the realm of gods and humans, Zhao Changqing is the well-deserved number one master in the world.

The first person under heaven.

This is the result of nine years of hard work by Zhao Changqing.

After Li Yijun heard the news, he knew that some things were beyond repair.

Zhao Changqing's rise is destined, but whether Wei's national destiny can be changed is still unknown.

Li Yijun had full confidence in his brain. He believed that, given time, it would weaken Wei's national destiny and help Liang become the overlord of the world.

For the ministers of the Wei State, the most difficult thing was not Huang Cheng, but Shen Wansan, who was temporarily appointed as the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

He racked his brains and couldn't figure out the effective way to counter other countries.

We can only unite the merchants, aristocratic families, etc. in Wei State, including Chu District, to gather together and discuss a countermeasure.

As long as the power of domestic merchants can be gathered together, they will surely have the upper hand in countering the Song Dynasty.

If Shen Wansan hadn't come forward, the merchants in the Wei Dynasty might not have been able to gather together like this.

Because they came not for the court's face, but for Shen Wansan's face.

For them, Shen Wansan is a legend.

But they don't know that Shen Wansan's success and rise are inseparable from Zhao Changqing's help.

Shen Wansan discussed with them for three full days.

Finally a plan was devised.

Comprehensive boycott of Song Dynasty goods, lowering commercial taxes on trade with other countries, allowing merchants from other countries to take desperate risks, and thus allowing other countries to lift the complete blockade of Wei's economy.

This time, Dayou and the Song Dynasty had a lose-lose attitude.

After formulating the overall strategic policy, Shen Wansan felt relieved. In fact, according to the construction of Wei State, even if the trade was lost, it was nothing more than the loss of a large amount of revenue from the treasury. Normally, it would be nothing, but

Putting it to the present, it will cause a feeling of worsening the situation for Wei State.

In the city of Tai'an in the Chu region.

After Zhao Changqing completed the Zen ceremony, he has been in seclusion.

I want to gather the fortunes of the two places to impact the realm of heaven and man.

But no matter what I do, I can never touch the threshold of that realm.

This made Zhao Changqing very helpless.

In the end, I had to give up.

He led the army back to Luoyang.

Before going again, I met with Yan Song, Qin Hui and four others.

The four of them have done well in the local area. In just a few months, they have handled several major and important cases, or brought about a significant recovery in the local people's livelihood and economy.

To be honest, when Zhao Changqing found out about it at first, he felt quite uncomfortable.

What's going on?

He summoned four treacherous ministers, but they did things that only loyal ministers and good ministers would do.

If this isn't a backstab, what is it?

But facing four people, I still have to greet them with a smile. This is the most helpless part.

After giving himself a brief lecture, Zhao Changqing wanted to leave this terrible place.

He felt that it was all an illusion. He believed that these four people had just entered the court as officials and had not yet discovered their nature of being traitorous officials. As long as given time, these four people would definitely be able to earn mediocrity points for themselves.

Well, that's right, it's the time's fault.

Something went wrong with time.

The four of them need to be given a space to grow.

In this place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. As treacherous ministers through the ages, the four of them will definitely be corrupt.

They must have gotten the news from nowhere. They knew that I was coming to Chu Di, so they thought of doing some political achievements first. When I left and left Chu Di, their true nature would definitely be exposed.

In this way, when Zhao Changqing left Chu Di, he said to the four of them, "I can't come to Chu Di again in a short time. You and the four of you can take care of yourself."
