Zhang Beichen's initial choice was the same as in the previous rounds, to research shaft furnaces, steel-making and various iron farm tools to enhance South Korea's agricultural, military and economic strength.
When South Korea already had a certain level of strength, especially when its ironware was sold to countries all over the world, Zhang Beichen began to take action.
[You wrote to South Korea, suggesting that the King of Han form an alliance with the King of Shu, the Marquis of Ju, and the King of Ba to sell goods to both places. The King of Han accepted your suggestion.]
[The King of Han gave gifts to Marquis Ju and King Ba, and the King of Shu. Marquis Ju and Ba were very fond of Korea's hundred-smelted steel weapons and armor, so they formed allies with Korea and traded with each other. 】
Both Bashu and Bashu wanted to annex each other, so as soon as they knew that the other side had purchased South Korea's hundreds of steel-making weapons, they naturally refused to miss it.
As for Juhou, he is a prince under the King of Shu. He rules the country of Ju and is located between Bashu and Bashu.
Even though the strength of Ju State is not as good as that of Bashu and Bashu, its geographical location is very critical and is of great use.
Zhang Beichen continued to operate.
[You trained many spies and went to the Bashu region disguised as businessmen. They traveled around, not only surveyed and mapped the map of the Bashu region, but also bribed many powerful people, building a huge interest network. 】
After several years of development, South Korea has become stronger. Especially relying on its first-hand steel-making technology, it has earned a lot of money from various countries, which is enough to support Zhang Beichen's plan.
As for Han Mengshu, while balancing domestic forces, he continued to secretly disrupt other countries and delay their development.
But slowly, she started to get a little anxious.
This game, the situation seems to be similar to the previous game, or even worse.
In the last game, they occupied Zhongshan Kingdom early. In this game, South Korea did not even defeat Zhongshan Kingdom, and it still has the smallest land and population!
"What is Zhang Beichen doing?" Han Mengshu checked Zhang Beichen's information.
[Zhang Beichen asked the King of Shu, Marquis Ju and King Ba to repair domestic roads on the grounds of inconvenience to trade and provide financial support. The King of Shu, Marquis Ju and Ba Wang readily agreed.]
[Zhang Beichen presented ten beauties from the Central Plains to Marquis Ju. Marquis Ju liked them very much and rewarded Zhang Beichen with a title.]
If Zhang Beichen's loyalty wasn't still at eighty, Han Mengshu would have suspected that he was trying to do the opposite again.
However, in this game, the intimacy between the two is quite high, and both have reached a level of trust. Of course, Wicker Education is indispensable.
[Zhang Beichen secretly sent people to provoke a war between Shu and Ba. The friction between Shu and Ba continued, and the national power continued to be consumed. 】
"Could it be that Zhang Beichen wants to attack Bashu?" Han Mengshu noticed his intention, but felt that the difficulty was too high.
"The roads in the Bashu area are impassable, and the army cannot move at all! Furthermore, South Korea is too far away from Bashu, and there is no supply of food, grass, weapons, and reinforcements!"
[You call Zhang Beichen and ask him about his plan in the palace.]
"Prime Minister, do you want to capture Bashu?" Han Mengshu asked directly.
"Yes." Zhang Beichen replied, "The Bashu region has natural geographical advantages and great development potential. As long as it captures Bashu, South Korea will have the foundation to conquer the world."
"The road from Bashu to Bashu is far away from the rugged areas. After the expedition, we will not be able to support our food, weapons, or soldiers. If Qin and Chu block us, and Wei and Zhao attack our rear, Korea will be destroyed."
Danger!" Han Mengshu thought about it carefully, but this idea was really difficult to carry out.
Zhang Beichen agreed: "Once we go to Bashu, we really can't take care of the rear. Therefore, my plan is to abandon Korea directly and move the whole country to the Bashu area!"
"What?" Han Mengshu had never thought of this idea and just changed countries!
This is really crazy. Who would think of giving up their own territory and traveling thousands of miles to a remote place?
Although Bashu had gradually developed at this time, it was still a poor country compared to other countries.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Beichen admonished: "If you think about it carefully, South Korea is in a land surrounded by wolves and has inherent deficiencies. No matter how we develop, we will never be an opponent of the surrounding countries!"
"Instead of waiting for death, it is better to give it a try, capture Bashu, and re-establish Korea! The land of Bashu is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it also has grain-producing land. It only takes more than ten years of dormancy to gain the capital to dominate the world!"
Food is population, and the Bashu region has an important grain production base!
Han Mengshu asked again: "Prime Minister, even if everyone agrees with your strategy, how can South Korea defeat Bashu?"
"Just look at my layout!" Zhang Beichen persuaded Han Mengshu.
[The King of Han began to pave the way for your plan, selecting young men and women in the country to train an army.]
During this period, all countries had completed their initial stages of development and began to conquer each other.
…
In the Qin State, the Yingyin people finally completed the reform, conquered the Rongdi tribe, and began to prepare to attack the Yiqu State.
At this time, she began to miss Zhang Beichen.
"When Lord Beichen is here, I don't need to be so tired..." Ying Yin thought, "Jun Beichen is still in South Korea, and South Korea will definitely be destroyed. After I laid down the Yi Canal, I led my army to attack South Korea and recapture Lord Beichen.
!”
…
In the palace of King Wei, Wei Yao felt dizzy when she looked at the pile of government affairs in front of her.
"It's so annoying. Why do I have to do so many things?" Wei Yao recalled her days of wine and meat. That's called life!
Eat, drink and have fun every day, and you can also play some interactive games with Zhang Beichen...
"No, I must snatch Zhang Beichen back!" Wei Yao immediately ordered, "Pang Ming, Young Master Jiu, you guys hurry up and come up with a plan for me to attack Korea!"
…
"It's almost done! If it doesn't work, all countries will attack South Korea!" Zhang Beichen checked the information and found that all countries were preparing to attack South Korea and had to start taking action.
[You should admonish the King of Han and ask the King of Han to present five large iron bulls to Marquis Ju. They are all forged from hundreds of steel. If smelted, they can be used to forge magical weapons. In addition, the belly of the iron bulls is all forged with gold.]
[Marquis Ju was overjoyed and wanted to take over the iron ox. At this time, you pointed out to him that the road to Shu was difficult and the soldiers could not transport the iron ox to the country of Ju. Marquis Ju then ordered the craftsmen to cut mountains and stones to build a special iron ox.
Road, for transportation purposes.]
[You let people reveal the news to the King of Shu, and added fuel to the fire to sow discord. The King of Shu was already very dissatisfied with the reduction in tribute from the Marquis of Ju. After learning about the Iron Ox and the gold, he ordered the craftsmen to build the Shu Road so that he could send troops to conquer.
Ju Guo.]
Zhang Beichen continued to wait, and another year of simulation time passed.
Countries have begun to attack South Korea, and Zhang Beichen has not taken the initiative to attack. If anyone comes to attack, he will strictly guard against it and try to reduce losses.
South Korea's current national strength is still very strong. As long as it does not take the initiative to send troops, it will not be destroyed within a few years.
[Within one year, South Korea lost nearly 30% of its land, but because it retreated in time, it did not lose many soldiers.]
…
[Marquis Ju has sent you a letter, saying that the Iron Ox Road has been built, and please send it to the Iron Ox as promised.] Han Mengshu saw this news.
When she saw it, not only the Iron Ox Road, but also the Shu Road sent by the King of Shu was almost completed.
A crucial choice appeared before Han Mengshu.
[Refuse to give the iron ox as a gift to sow discord between the King of Shu, Marquis Ju and King Ba, allowing the three countries to conquer each other and gain benefits from it.]
[Pretend to agree to the gift of iron ox, and send an army to conquer the country. At the same time, Korea will be defended and bilateral development will occur.]
[Pretending to agree to the gift of an iron ox, he made a desperate move and led the young men of Korea to conquer Bashu, adopting Zhang Beichen’s strategy of changing the country!]
[Refuse to give Iron Bull as a gift, stick to the homeland and look for other opportunities.]
