740. Chapter 740 It won't be a few days to jump around
An Xibi: "Is there any difference? Even if he doesn't give it away, we can still defeat him!"
Are you still sending it to him?
Huangfu Yan smiled and said: "Compared to the Imperial Kingdom and the Jade Kingdom, although Xiqing's population is not too large, it has a vast territory and strong soldiers and horses. Otherwise, it would not be able to stand side by side with the Three Kingdoms and hold power for so many years. The only shortcoming of Xiqing is that it is subject to
Due to geographical restrictions and low food production, people's lives are extremely difficult. For those people, what they care about is not who is in power, but who can give them a more prosperous life. At the same time, what they fear most is
, is war. War means deprivation. Their lives are already extremely difficult, and if they are burdened by war, they will only end up with constant uprisings, with the government forcing the people to rebel."
"Then when we conquer Xiqing, won't we be able to convince them by bringing food from elsewhere and giving it to them?" An Xijie has learned that the output of the land of the Imperial Kingdom and the Jade Kingdom is still very high, otherwise Huangfu Yan
Nor can he support the entire army just by relying on the food collected from his stores.
When the time comes, wouldn't it be enough as long as we allocate it reasonably?
Huangfuyan explained: "Do you know Luo Shaokang's current situation?"
An Xici snorted: "Grasshoppers after autumn can only jump around for a few days."
Huangfu Yan nodded: "That's right, so he has only two ways out now. The first is to search for people's fat and people's anointing to maintain this war and wait for the rescue of the Jade Kingdom. With the strength of Xiqing's soldiers and horses, if they can get enough food and grass,
Basically, they can compete with us. Even if we win in the end, we will suffer heavy losses. And this war will inevitably arouse the rebellious psychology of the people in Xiqing, thinking that it is caused by the struggle for power between the two countries.
The consequences will only become more difficult to manage. Not only do we have to pay enough food and money to appease them, we may also have to face the heroes created by the times, whether they are grass bandits or rebels, they will be in big trouble."
An Xishu didn't understand the way of governing the country, but she still understood what Huangfu Yan said.
"The second way is to surrender?" An Xibi asked.
"Yeah." Huangfu Yan responded: "Luo Shaokang is a man who is smooth in dealing with things and has a good heart for the city, but there is one thing that is rare. Even under his governance, the people of Xiqing have been doing well over the years.
An Wen, when he is now facing a dilemma, even when the people are complaining about him, he has not made up his mind to plunder the people. This is also the way to be a king. Although he does not know what made him make such a decision, but this
When the time comes, he is willing to give up Xiqing, which is indeed the best choice for him, us, and the people of Xiqing."
"Then according to you, this way, we can save a lot of trouble?" An Xici raised an eyebrow.
Huangfu Yan said with a smile: "Yes, now we only need to send troops to garrison the imperial city of Xiqing, and then send a message to the capital to find capable officials to come to appease the people. The people will be spared the suffering of war, and taxes will be reduced or reduced. They will
I soon forgot who the previous emperor was."
An Xici suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?" Huangfuyan was puzzled.
An Xibi said: "Huangfu Yan, tell me, would it be better if the country was in your hands?"
