Now the military is sharpening its sword, waiting to take over Nanyang and go north to Luoyang to get a share of the battlefield, so Yang Su's idea obviously represents the military's idea. As for the treaty signed with Yang Jian...
·
Li Xingchen touched his nose, and the monarch and his ministers looked at each other with evil smiles on their faces.
Isn’t a treaty signed just to be torn up?
At this time, in front of the screen, Yang Yue finally took a step back, saying that Nanyang or Wuguan could be used as a place for trade between the two sides, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty could not arrange heavy troops. This naturally aroused a new round of protests from Liu Qiu.
Don't make trouble, let alone Nanyang, where is Wuguan? After Wuguan is Lantian, which is the real gateway to Guanzhong.
Are you kidding me if you don't set up heavy troops in Wuguan?
Liu Qiu felt as if he was listening to a fairy tale.
The smile on Yang Yue's face also faded, and the teacup banged on the table, causing the tea to splash: "If your country thinks this is unacceptable, then there is really nothing to say, between you and me.
We had the opportunity to sit down and have a good chat over wine, but it's a pity that because of your persistence, we will turn our friendship into war!"
Liu Qiu's eyes widened, but he could see that Yang Yue was also angry across from him, so it was hard for him to get angry now.
It is reasonable that the attitude of the Han Dynasty has turned 180 degrees today. The complete victory in the Northwest Battle and the surrender of Yu Yi gave the Han Dynasty the strength to threaten the northwest side of Guanzhong. In addition, in the direction of Hanzhong, the south
In the direction of Xiangxiang, at this time, the Han Dynasty had already formed a three-sided attack on Guanzhong. Once the negotiations between the two sides broke down, even if the Han Dynasty did not join forces with Yu Wenxian, they might directly kill Yang Jian, the small court in Guanzhong.
This is a threat from Chi Guoguo, but it is also a fact.
This time they were not negotiating so much as they were really here to seek peace, and they even took the initiative to be blackmailed when the Han Dynasty was at its peak.
Liu Qiu shrank his neck slightly and said with difficulty: "It's impossible in Wuguan, but maybe we can still talk about it in Nanyang."
The biggest weapon in Li Xingchen's hands, besides soldiers and horses, was the rapidly expanding trade.
The reason why Li Xingchen was able to quickly transport a large amount of grain, grass, soldiers and horses from Hanzhong to the northwest this time had a lot to do with the convoy of merchants. Even these merchants supported the government's actions with their own money. Of course, in return, their
The footsteps also followed into the northwest, competing with the northwest aristocratic families who monopolized the northwest economy.
Therefore, every time Li Xingchen negotiated with Yang Jian, he actually focused on commerce. He wanted to erode Guanzhong bit by bit through commerce. After all, the territory controlled by Yang Jian was the smallest among the three, and he also relied on foreign goods.
It's even bigger, so this is actually Li Xingchen helping Yang Jian "solve the problem."
Of course, who gets more benefits from this trade has been clearly proven in history.
But this time, Li Xingchen was interested in Nanyang. Let Yang Jian use Nanyang as a place for trade, which not only allowed Yang Jian to take the initiative to open the door of Nanyang, but also would not cause Yang Jian to be too vigilant by directly extending his hand to Guanzhong.
Of course, with the attitude of demanding high prices, Yang Yue simply added Wuguan to the list. As expected, Liu Qiu simply took a step back. Keeping Wuguan was obviously more important than Nanyang.
In fact, Yang Jian's instructions to him were to ensure the safety of Guanzhong as much as possible. Interests outside Guanzhong can be used as bargaining chips. But thinking about it, outside Guanzhong, there are only Hangu Pass to Taolinsai as the front line against Yu Wenxian and
Nanyang County is still under the control of Yang Jian's small court.
This also made Liu Qiu feel a strong sense of crisis and helplessness in his heart. This time he just opened the door to Nanyang. Will he give up Nanyang next time, and where will it be next time? There is only so much in Guanzhong
How much can you give up?
What's more, who can guarantee that after signing the peace contract, Li Xingchen will abide by it unswervingly?
In this troubled world, moral ethics have long been thrown out of the window. If Yang Jian reveals any obvious flaws, Li Xingchen will quickly pull out a knife and stab him even if he has just signed a peace treaty and the ink is still wet.
Go up.
However, even though he knew that Li Xingchen was not a good person, Liu Qiu had to bite the bullet and negotiate the deal. At least the two sides needed something to maintain the relationship.
Therefore, signing a peace treaty allows both parties to relax their vigilance and arrangements in this direction, but it is definitely not a true peaceful coexistence. Secondly, in the final analysis, it still needs to establish a foundation for obtaining common interests in the future.
The common interest of both parties is naturally Yu Wenxian.
The two sides opened a market in Nanyang for trade, which was originally above Yang Jian's bottom line, so Liu Qiu did not intend to argue anymore. Obviously the tough attitude of the Han Dynasty showed that they are really not afraid of being involved in a battle with Yang Jian with the power of victory.
If it really caused a war between the two sides, then Liu Qiu would be the sinner.
So the next thing to talk about is definitely how to deal with Yu Wenxian.
Behind the screen, Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows as he listened to Liu Qiu's description. Yang Jian's pattern was obviously bigger than that of Yu Wenxian. The two armies attacked Luoyang, and then one army went north to take Hebei, and the other went south to take Huaibei, and finally the world was divided into two parts.
Of course, the ownership of Luoyang cannot be determined yet. It may be used as a completely neutral city to exchange goods from both sides, etc.
Li Xingchen had to admit that if the Han Dynasty had just experienced a failure in the northwest, then this was indeed a good choice. Yang Jian's eyes were still very vicious. Li Xingchen could take down the Huaibei defense line that had blocked the Southern Dynasties from moving north for three hundred years, and could effectively
To avoid the losses caused by the defeat in the northwest, after all, for southerners, the northwest is too far away, and Huaibei is like an iron curtain lying at the doorstep.
In fact, they don't care what kind of victory they achieve in the distant wind, snow and cold, but if the Iron Curtain is directly broken, then they will definitely support Li Xinchen even more.
Moreover, Luoyang's disposal problem has been cleverly avoided. It is a neutral city, which is very easy to say, but given Luoyang's important geographical location, no one will ignore such a piece of fat here. This is just
It just laid the fuse for the two sides to start war again. Of course, looking at it now, instead of arguing about the ownership of Luoyang, it would be better to take sides first.
Of course, Yang Jian directly proposed such a grand and long-term plan, which really surprised Li Xingchen, but he didn't know how sincere Yang Jian was in it.
"How can your army ensure that we will not fight each other in the Central Plains, and how will the ownership of Qingzhou, Youzhou and other places be divided?" Yang Yue pointedly pointed out at this time. (To be continued)
