"Now that Nanzhou troops have mobilized a lot of territory to occupy the Qin State, it is a good time to send troops..."
Shang Jianxiong talked eloquently, and his intention was very clear. He wanted to persuade the two elders and gain the full support of Xiaoyao Palace and Lingjian Mountain.
After hearing his high opinion, Xi Yao muttered: "What your Majesty said is true, but South Korea's attitude is clear. If South Korea sends troops to intervene, we have no chance of winning, and sending troops may not help."
Luo Mingjian nodded slightly, this was what he was worried about, otherwise Zijindong would not be allowed to eat so ugly, as if he was gobbling it up like a wolf.
Shang Jianxiong hummed: "In my opinion, South Korea is just bluffing. Now that South Korea has to manage the Qin land it occupies, and also be on guard against the Song Dynasty, there is no real plan to send troops, and the possibility of bluffing is very high. Two elders, I still hope
Report it to the sect as soon as possible and please make an early decision!"
Gao Jiancheng suddenly said, "What if South Korea really sends troops?"
Shang Jianxiong suddenly turned around and glared, seemingly asking, whose side are you on?
Luo Mingjian asked: "Master Gao seems to be watching with cold eyes and looks quite calm. Does he have any wise ideas?"
Gao Jiancheng was indeed calm, facing Shang Jianxiong's glaring eyes, he said calmly, "In my opinion, if Shang Chaozong wants it, just give it to him. It's not worth going to war, and it also prevents outsiders from seeing the joke of Yan's internal chaos.
"
As soon as these words came out, they were very shocking, and several eyes in the hall were fixed on his face, including Tian Yu, the general manager of the palace.
Tian Yu was obviously a little shocked. As one of His Majesty's closest ministers, don't you know His Majesty's intentions? Why did you say this? Even if you have an opinion, you shouldn't say it so straightforwardly, right?
Shang Jianxiong's facial muscles twitched, and there was fire in his eyes. He said word by word: "Gao Jiancheng, do you know what you are talking about?"
Gao Jiancheng still said the same thing, "Your Majesty, what will happen if South Korea really sends troops?"
Shang Jianxiong angrily shouted, "How can you conclude that South Korea will definitely send troops?" According to his wishes, even if South Korea sends troops, Shang Chaozong cannot easily succeed.
The strategic motive of the Shang Chaozong was too obvious. Taking advantage of Nanzhou's geographical advantage, they wanted to seize the throat of the two sides and cut off the imperial court's hand so that they could manage the territory occupied by the Qin State.
Relying on its geographical advantage, Nanzhou took the lead in sending troops and occupied a large amount of territory. It also took the opportunity to recruit a lot of Qin troops first. What did it want to do?
Once the Shang Chaozong is allowed to operate and stabilize those territories, the entire territory occupied by the Qin State will probably become the possession of the Shang Chaozong. By then, the people in the occupied areas who have been cut off from the support of the imperial court will be so weak that they cannot be the opponents of the Shang Chaozong, and they are not the Shang Chaozong.
Play however you want?
It is conceivable that once the Shang Chaozong succeeds, the Shang Chaozong will immediately take action against the imperial people. It may not be possible to go to war, but it will definitely squeeze the imperial people and be unable to gain a foothold. The Qin Dynasty can be said to have suffered from successive wars, and everything is waiting to be done.
, the country is extremely barren, and without the resources of the imperial court, it is impossible to gain a foothold.
By then, adding the territory already controlled by Shang Chaozong, Shang Chaozong alone would control one-third of the entire territory of Dayan.
Today's Shang Chaozong never comes to Beijing to see His Majesty the Emperor. He respects his troops and does not take the court seriously. This has already made the court jealous. If the power of Shang Chaozong is allowed to expand rapidly, what will Shang Chaozong do by then?
, Shang Jianxiong shuddered just thinking about it.
If not, how could he let go of the woman he loved so easily.
As everyone knows, the Shang Chaozong dared to act so unscrupulously and to be so embarrassing, all because there was someone behind the scenes who knew the truth.
Niu Youdao has already spoken, asking him to be prepared to fully take over Yan State. Naturally, he will seize the opportunity to make arrangements first.
Xi Yao raised his hand slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please be patient. Master Gao must have some plans when he says this. You might as well listen to it before talking about it."
"Humph!" Shang Jianxiong threw up his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, waiting to see what was going on. He wanted to hear what was going on. After calming down for a moment, he felt that Gao Jiancheng was not innocent, but he still felt that Gao Jiancheng's words were too harsh.
Gao Jiancheng: "South Korea has no profit, so why should it help the Shang Chaozong? If you say it has any good intentions, the veteran will not believe it. The thing is obvious, South Korea clearly intends to support the Shang Chaozong and wants to create constraints within the Yan Kingdom. This can both make people
The Yan State, which had internal fetters, could not act recklessly against South Korea, and it also prevented the Yan State from concentrating its efforts to respond when South Korea needed it. South Korea's move was not only to support the Shang Dynasty, but also to deepen the conflict between the imperial court and the Shang Dynasty."
"Still saying the same thing, what will happen if South Korea really sends troops? Once South Korea sends troops, even if we send troops, we will not be able to change the outcome. Instead, it will make the imperial court lose face. Once the imperial court is defeated, how will the people of Yan view it?
It further fueled Shang Chaozong’s arrogance.”
Shang Jianxiong asked: "What's the difference between you saying it and not saying it?" He asked again, "Why are you so sure that South Korea will send troops?"
Gao Jiancheng asked: "Your Majesty, why did Shang Chaozong dare to do this at this time and with the spread of troops? Doesn't he know that the imperial court will not sit back and watch? Knowing that the imperial court will not sit back and watch, why does he dare to be so embarrassed? He
There must be some certainty that South Korea will definitely send troops to help, otherwise why would it take such a huge risk that the gain is not worth the loss?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into silence for an instant. Yes, how could Shang Chaozong dare to do this if he was not sure?
Are you sure? Doesn’t that prove that South Korea will definitely send troops?
While everyone was thinking, Gao Jiancheng observed everyone's expressions and reactions, and suddenly said lightly: "The imperial court has made concessions, so it may not be a loss. And if Shang Chaozong eats it, it may not be able to digest it."
Everyone looked at it immediately, and Luo Mingjian humbly asked for advice, "How do you say this, Master Gao?"
Gao Jiancheng: "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Qi State is at the end of its war effort and cannot hold out for long. The Jin State has a sharp army and has already seized the granary with one hand. Once it controls the horse resources with the other hand, it is inevitable to send troops eastward.
Everyone knows about Jin's ambitions."
"I dare to ask, who will stop the Jin soldiers when they leave Xiping Pass? If the imperial troops are in front of Xiping Pass, it will be the imperial court who will block them. If Prince Yong's troops are in front of Xiping Pass, then of course it will be Prince Yong who will block them.
.The troops of the imperial court fought to the death with the Jin State, and the strength of the Jin State's troops was greatly damaged. Prince Yong's troops fought with the Jin State to the death, and the strength of the Jin State's troops was greatly damaged."
Everyone's eyes flickered for a moment, they were all thoughtful, and finally understood Gao Jiancheng's intention.
Shang Jianxiong's mood obviously calmed down, and he asked hesitantly: "If the Jin State sends its troops eastward and the Shang Chaozong is defeated, the imperial court will inevitably confront the Jin State. Can it stop it?"
Gao Jiancheng: "Your Majesty, it will not be so easy for the imperial court to fight against the Jin State. South Korea is not a decoration, how can it sit back and watch the defeat of the Shang Dynasty? When the Jin soldiers leave Xipingguan, South Korea will definitely join forces with the Shang Dynasty in a bloody battle. With the two sides joining forces,
It is impossible for Jin to win easily, and victory will come at a high price."
"Once the Qin army is defeated, once the Jin army reaches our side, and it is the imperial court's turn to take action, it means that the Shang Chaozong has almost lost all its strength. The Shang Chaozong has no way out, but South Korea still has the Qin Dynasty.
Beyond the vast land, there are also a large number of Korean people."
"It is conceivable that once the Shang Dynasty loses all its strength and loses the value of use, it is impossible for South Korea to stand alone against the Jin army. Next, it will inevitably come to our Yan country and join forces with our Yan country to fight against the Jin country. By then, our Yan country will
The country is not fighting alone!”
"As for the Shang Dynasty clan, which has lost its use value, as long as His Majesty opens his mouth, South Korea will inevitably abandon Prince Yong due to the situation."
"As for Zijin Cave, the Shang Dynasty Sect has lost its use value, and the interests of Qin have been lost. However, there are still many interests in Zijin Cave in Yan State, and Zijin Cave must be protected. In addition, Zijin Cave previously supported the Shang Dynasty Sect.
In the battle with the Jin army, the defeat of the Shang Dynasty clan will inevitably lead to a great loss of Zijindong's own strength."
"At that point, as long as His Majesty opens his mouth, not only South Korea will abandon Prince Yong, Zijindong will also regard the Shang Chaozong as an abandoned son. Zijindong will definitely tie up the Shang Chaozong and hand it over to His Majesty for disposal!"
Hearing this, Shang Jianxiong's eyes flickered. Shang Chaozong was a thorn in his flesh and a thorn in his side. When he thought of Shang Chaozong being tied up and detained until he and his predecessor were at his disposal, he couldn't help but raise his brows a few times.
Gao Jiancheng continued: "As for whether the Jin State can be defeated in the end, that is another matter. The imperial court must retain the strength that can resist to the end, rather than just focusing on the present. Once the imperial court's strength is greatly damaged and the imperial court is unable to resist, the Shang Dynasty is afraid that
I want to take the opportunity to seek the throne and usurp the throne. I dare to ask the two elders, once it comes to the point where the Shang Dynasty is needed to stabilize the hearts of the Yan country and fight against the Jin country, what will Lingjian Mountain and Xiaoyao Palace make, and will they try to protect your majesty?"
The two elders looked at each other, knowing clearly and remaining silent.
Gao Jian Chengyi said righteously: "I and the Nanzhou faction are sworn enemies. I will never allow Shang Chaozong to succeed in the end!"
He handed over his hand again, seemingly sincerely saying: "Your Majesty, since sending troops at the moment cannot change the outcome, we might as well plan for the long term. Please make a decision, Your Majesty!"
Xi Yao and Luo Mingjian nodded their heads after hearing this, as if they were enlightened.
Xi Yao praised: "Listening to Master Gao's words, I suddenly became enlightened!"
Luo Mingjian said: "Your Majesty, Sir Gao's good advice is a mature strategy for the country."
Shang Jianxiong didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, feeling a faint pain in his heart.
If he had known that the trouble would be like this, if he had known that offering A Qiaoer to Nie Zhenting would not change anything, why would he bother to give up her love?
If the final result is really as Gao Jicheng said, there will be a day when South Korea can turn around and ask for A Qiao'er back, but if that day really comes, what will it be like to face A Qiao'er again?
When he got the woman from Mu Zhuozhen, he was already criticized by others. What if he was given away to be someone else's woman and then came back to be his own woman? It might not matter to ordinary people, but he is the king of a country.
!How can the whole court allow him to act so wantonly? How can the father of Dayan be a role model for Dayan like this?
Thinking of this, piercing regret filled my heart, and I cried out unwillingly: My bird is gone!
