Chapter 864: Profiteering (Subscription Requested)
Support Silla to force Baekje and confront the north and south of Goryeo.
This is the cake that Mo Xiaobai painted for the Silla people before.
Now that he is in Goryeo, Mo Xiaobai has completely forgotten this plan, and even Cao Yi has to admire Mo Xiaobai's strength in changing his face.
This guy is in the middle of everything, and there is no truth at all.
Mo Xiaobai didn't care about the faces of the others, and asked, "Dare to ask the king, how big is the land of Sanhan?" ”
"Naturally, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields."
"What percentage of Goryeo is it?"
"Samhan respects me, and Goryeo occupies at least sixty percent of the area." When Wang Xun spoke, there was still a bit of arrogance on his face, which was his capital to be the king.
Mo Xiaobai nodded, and then asked, "Does the king like this kind of superficial respect, or does he get the benefits in his hands?" ”
After that, without waiting for Wang Xun to answer, he explained to himself: "Sanhan and one land seem to be a hundred thousand miles of fertile land, but after all, it is a limited land, mountains and rivers, and Baekje's wanton behavior has caused trouble, what does the king think his subjects in the country desire most?" ”
"All the people in the world need nothing more than stability and survival, and since Baekje can't give it, they will naturally look for someone who can give them stability, and this person can be the king of Silla, and of course it can also be His Majesty. Compared to the frequent conflicts between Silla and Baekje, I think they went all the way to Goryeo and truly became subjects under His Majesty's rule. ”
"In the past, although Baekje said that he was respectful to the king, but that was only superficial work, if you really have to calculate it carefully, I don't know who Baekje is more loyal to, instead of spending time controlling this immature wolf, and not cooking wine directly, wolf skin can also make a coat."
Mo Xiaobai's words made Wang Xun, who has always fixed his thinking in the concept of Sanhan, light up. Yuan Zhiqi had been saying that outsiders could not interfere in Sanhan's affairs before, but he didn't say anything about what to do in order to benefit Goryeo.
Could it be that it would be beneficial for Goryeo to let the Han and Song strike troops and withdraw from Samhan and no longer invade Baekje?
How so!
Even Mo Xiaobai's words reminded Wang Xun that because of Yuan Zhiqi's position as prime minister, Baekje and his Yuan family are very close.
Does Baekje listen to himself at the moment, or would he prefer to listen to the words of the Yuan family?
The corners of Wang Xun's eyes flickered, and he found that these things caused by this choice of gods and horses had exposed many things that were hidden in the shadows in the past.
Why did Yuan Zhiqi and his courtiers want to die to protect Baekje?
However, the idea put forward by Count Dahan gave him an illusion of sudden enlightenment.
Although Goryeo is strong among the three Koreas, the situation has always been so deadlocked, and without external intervention, there will not necessarily be major changes in a few hundred years.
At present, the Han, Song, and Silla are besieging Baekje, directly breaking the deadlock between the three Koreas. Wouldn't it be foolish to think about how to profit from it, and to go to great lengths to restore the situation to its original state?
But he wouldn't say these things directly to Mo Xiaobai, he just squinted his eyes and glanced at Yuan Zhiqi, and then said broadly: "Let's go here today, the earl and Uncle Cao Guo can stay in the royal city temporarily, and this king will discuss other important matters at a later date." ”
………
Coming out of the palace, everyone still temporarily lived in the Da'an Temple in the city.
When he returned to the wing room and closed the door, Cao Yi immediately pulled Mo Xiaobai to sit down: "What the earl said in the court, aren't you worried that it will reach the ears of the Silla people?" ”
Just now, Mo Xiaobai almost completely overturned his promise and support for Silla, and although Cao Yi did not speak during the court discussion, he was still a little anxious in his heart.
This side has just conspired with Silla, and if the Silla people know about it, there will be other incidents in Baobuqi.
"Why are you worried?" Mo Xiaobai sat down unhurriedly and asked casually.
"With such a backshit, how can Silla not be suspicious?"
"Backtracking? How so? ”
Mo Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "What is the core of what I just said to the King of Goryeo?" It was to ask Goryeo to give up rushing to help Baekje and take this opportunity to conspire with it. Imagine that Baekje is in such a crisis, if Goryeo from the north also comes to intervene, what choice can they make? The pretext for this battle is the dispute between Baekje and Silla, and Baekje has to go to Silla if he doesn't want to destroy the country, isn't this consistent with our previous plan? ”
Is it consistent?
Consistently, of course!
Cao Yi also felt that this was the case, but his mind still couldn't turn around: "But you just said that you support Goryeo in plotting to capture Baekje?" ”
"Yes, I'm supporting, but we also support Silla and Baekje, what's wrong?"
Mo Xiaobai asked again, and then said: "On the battlefield, interests are the most important. Whether it is Goryeo or Silla, we will support whoever can meet our interests. If Silla can get Baekje to submit and fight Goryeo, it is not an empty word, and the previous promise will be fulfilled. If he fails to do this, and instead allows Goryeo to take the lead, why should we care about the temporary covenant that is paid lip service? ”
"The purpose of our coming to Goryeo is just to prevent Goryeo from influencing our plans, that's all. As for Samhan's affairs, of course, they will solve it on their own, and I believe that they will not be happy with us interfering too much. ”
After some words, Mo Xiaobai poured a cup of tea for himself and Cao Yi. When I was in the palace, I kept talking, and my mouth was about to run dry.
After Mo Xiaobai drank two cups of weak tea, Cao Yi gradually digested his thoughts.
Mo Xiaobai's remarks can be summed up in just four words.
Mercenary!
This is true of Dahan, Baekje, or Silla.
And the interests of the Great Song Dynasty have obviously been tied to the Great Han and the Great Dream City, and if they want to gain a firm foothold in the land of Sanhan, it is difficult for either the Great Han and the Great Song Dynasty to do so.
Only the advance and retreat of the two dynasties together can bring a strong enough deterrent to Samhan.
Cao Yi suddenly understood at this moment why Mo Xiaobai wanted to bring him together to share this cake, the reason was by no means as simple as the border between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo and the Han Dynasty.
"In your opinion, will Goryeo agree?"
The corners of Cao Yi's eyes flashed with a little expectation, and Mo Xiaobai nodded with a smile: "Naked interests are in front of you, and now they may not be able to arrive in time if they want to rush to help Baekje, if it is you, how do you choose?" In addition, once the king of Goryeo made this choice, there were intrinsic benefits for him. ”
"You mean the Yuan family?"
"The Yuan family wants to enter the prime minister in Goryeo and control all the power inside and outside the court, I think the king of Goryeo has endured him for a long time."
As Mo Xiaobai sighed lightly, Cao Yi also picked up the teacup and drank it down: "The earl is thoughtful, and it is really terrifying. I hope that today we are allies, and we will not be adversaries in the future. ”
"The world is impermanent, and we will talk about it later, at least now we can conspire with Baekje and expand the territory for the two countries." Mo Xiaobai got up and looked south.
There is a good chance that Goryeo's side will not disrupt the situation, and now it depends on whether the coalition forces can lock in the victory within the estimated time.
