Chapter 565: A Calculation in a Calculation

"King Yan is really cunning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the Qingzhou Mansion, Fiji was looking at the letter sent by Zhan Xingchang.

He just came back from Pengzhou yesterday, and now that the Pengzhou City Government has officially been put into operation, Pengzhou Assassin has taken over large and small government affairs, and there is no need for him to continue to stay.

Pang Yukun said: "King Yan wants to get arquebus technology and contain us, which is really ill-intentioned, but he really gave us a problem. ”

Xiao Ming had a gloomy face, the last thing he wanted to see appeared, judging from King Yan's reaction, King Zhao was probably very jealous of his annexation of Weidi.

Sure enough, another ten days later, Zhan Xingchang returned from Chang'an, bringing a reply from King Zhao.

"Your Royal Highness, now only King Liang has agreed to Xiao Qi's cooperation, and the attitudes of King Zhao and King Yan are wavering, just waiting for our reply." Zhan Xingchang said.

"Then what are the conditions of King Zhao?" Xiao Ming asked.

Zhan Xingchang said: "After seeing King Zhao this time, King Zhao originally wanted to threaten His Highness with the matter of conspiracy, but in the covenant with the King of Chu, King Zhao changed his mind, and now he asks His Highness not to continue to encroach on Wei. ”

With a sigh of relief, he continued: "This time the King of Wei also spent a lot of money in order to move the rescue troops, and it is said that in order to invite soldiers, he asked Xiao Qi to send no eighty taels of silver to the King of Zhao, but now the King of Zhao and the King of Shu are at war, and they are unwilling to fight on both sides. ”

"So, now only King Liang is willing to send troops?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, the most important thing now is the attitude of King Yan, if King Yan also quits the army, this time the alliance will basically fail."

Xiao Ming paced back and forth, now that the vassal kings of the Great Yu Kingdom were self-reliant, each vassal king had his own interests, and no vassal king wanted to see other vassal kings too powerful.

If it weren't for his too strong performance, it is estimated that the one who is being crusaded now is King Zhao.

After thinking about it carefully, he said to Zhan Xingchang: "Since this is the case, we will agree to King Yan's condition and provide him with arquebus technology. ”

"Your Highness, just like that, do we have to let go of our strategy against Wei Di?" Niu Ben is also in the government, he is very unhappy about this matter, and now the Southern Expeditionary Army and the Dengzhou Army are in a state of strength, and this is the time to pursue the victory.

Fiji and Pang Yukun are both old foxes, and the two glanced at each other, as if they had seen through Xiao Ming's strategy.

"In order to avoid being besieged by Hezong, we can only temporarily agree to this condition, and now that we have Pengzhou City and Tongzhou City, we also need time to completely transform these two places, and now the King of Wei will involve the King of Zhao, the King of Yan, and the King of Liang, and it seems that a treaty must be signed for this Hezong." Xiao Ming looked at Zhan Xingchang.

"Your Royal Highness is clever, King Yan and King Zhao both proposed to send envoys to Qingzhou, so that the envoys from the five parties can jointly sign a truce contract in Qingzhou to maintain the status quo." Zhan Xingchang said in surprise.

Fiji said: "This incident reminded Xia Guan of the six countries attacking Qin, and now this situation is quite like that of the past." ”

"Hahaha...... In this way, now we are strong Qin. Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun echoed: "That's right, because of this, these vassal kings will be afraid that we will continue to be strong, this time His Royal Highness attacked Wei Di It seems that they are really jealous, and now in this situation, even if King Wei does not send people to cooperate, it is estimated that other vassal kings will not be able to sit still." ”

"What Pang Shoufu said is that this king is also ready to plan when he sees this, since they want a contract, we will give it to them, and after Pengzhou and Tongzhou are stabilized, we will continue to take other cities in Weidi." Xiao Ming said loudly.

Hearing this, everyone nodded, and now the initiative of offense and defense was in their hands.

Now Pengzhou has a population of 500,000 and Tongzhou has a population of 200,000, and now they only need time to recruit soldiers from the two places to train into an army, once they add another 50,000 troops, even if the king of Zhao, the king of Liang, the king of Wei, and the king of Yan come together to attack them, they are not afraid.

Niu Ben sighed, and he said: "It's just that the last general still feels that he has suffered a loss, if he signs this Laoshzi contract, won't it be that only the King of Wei can attack us, and we can't fight him." ”

"This Niu Du Governor is at ease, since he is going to sign a contract, this king naturally wants them to recognize our occupation of Pengzhou and Tongzhou, and this king still has an idea, maybe we can take the opportunity to take Huaizhou!"

Xiao Ming already had a plan in his heart, and then he told Pang Yukun and the others about the plan.

After everyone listened, Fiji was stunned, and he said: "I didn't expect the text to come like this, Xia Guan is really knowledgeable, if so, the king of Wei and other vassal kings really have a hard time." ”

Xiao Ming smiled and nodded.

This time, it was not that Xiao Ming signed this armistice agreement because he was instigated, in fact, even if the four kings attacked, he might not lose, but he never forgot that the barbarians had been staring at the changes in the Great Yu Kingdom.

At that time, even if he had won, it would have been a crushing victory, and the four kings would have suffered heavy losses, and this situation was exactly what the barbarians wanted to see the most.

Once this happens, then he will no longer have the strength to deal with the real enemies of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Therefore, at this time, he must avoid the conspiracy of King Wei, after all, he has taken advantage of it now, and he only needs to digest the fruits of victory.

When his strength is further enhanced, he will completely annex Wei Di in a very short period of time, so that Yan Wang and the others will not have time to react.

As for now, he still needs time to digest the land and population he has seized, and most importantly, he is ready to seize an overseas food supply area, the Three Mountains Kingdom, which is currently controlled by the Wa Kingdom.

At this time, the large island opposite Fuzhou was called Ryukyu, and the series of islands between Ryukyu and Wakoku were called the Sanshan Kingdom, which later became Okinawa and its nearby islands.

According to the information provided by Wang Xuan, the population of the Sanshan Kingdom is 200,000, and now the Sanshan Kingdom is forced to pay tribute to the Wa Kingdom, providing a large amount of food to Yamada Nobunaga every year.

In contemporary history, successive dynasties have twice missed the opportunity to recover this kingdom, and Xiao Ming doesn't want to miss it now, not to mention that this is still a place where food can be provided for free?

Therefore, the reason why the armistice contract was signed, Xiao Ming also took this aspect into consideration, the supply of food is stable, and he will not worry about logistics in the future.

After agreeing on this matter, Xiao Ming said to Zhan Xingchang: "This time, you will be responsible for the end, you will inform them now, and say that this king has agreed to their conditions and asked them to send envoys to Qingzhou to talk." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhan Xingchang bowed and said.
