"Brother, can I not know what you are thinking, brother?" Xiao Chen told Emperor Shenzhao sincerely, "But I can tell you honestly, based on my understanding of Emperor Li Wanjiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will never Those who have sincerely formed an alliance with you, didn’t the last incident in Yizhou teach you a profound enough lesson?”
"Brothers, Li Wanjiang and I will never go to war. Otherwise, wouldn't they have started fighting when they invaded last year?" Xiao Chen said, "It's hard for Li Wanjiang to swallow Yan Yun now, and I can't swallow it either." If it doesn’t go down to the Great Zhou Dynasty, if that’s the case, why do we need to fight and lose both sides?”
"You Japanese, our Yanyun, and their Dazhou." Xiao Chen stretched out three fingers and put them on the table, "We are three pillars of the same force. If none of us move, the situation will be stable. If one of us wants to move... …Whoever the cauldron tilts will be crushed to death, and the remaining two will also have a hard time. Don’t forget that there is Ross to the north.”
"Brother, let me tell you the truth, brother, don't be angry. Looking at the current situation among our three families, you, Japan, are the weakest, so our two families may still be able to make a move, but you can't make a move. If you make a move, you will die... …”
Xiao Chen said all the good words, truthful words, polite words and rude words in one breath, and then asked Brother Shenzhao, do you agree or disagree?
"Brother Xiao Chen, you said you don't want to start a war with Dazhou, so why are you attacking Yizhou Island again?" Emperor Shenzhao sighed secretly, thinking that Xiao Chenjun's words were indeed very difficult to deal with. It's not that easy to lead him by the nose. You can only listen to what he wants.
"Yizhou Island is very important to us." Xiao Chen emphasized the word 'we' in particular. "The Great Zhou Dynasty occupied Yizhou, which is equivalent to strangulating the throat of Nanyang. The last time General Xiaolin went to fight in Nanyang, he also We have to take a detour, the Great Zhou navy is weak now, but if it gets stronger over time..." It will not be good.
"Besides, you are attacking Yizhou, not us." Xiao Chen smiled slyly, "Of course, after you capture Yizhou, we Yanyun will naturally send the navy to drive you away, just like Xiao Lin and I What the general did in Yunzhou was done for others to see."
"But what I say now..." Emperor Shenzhao said.
"I know the difficulties you are facing now. To attack Brother Yizhou this time, you only need to send out a fleet at will." Xiao Chen said it very straightforwardly, asking you to use a banner, a name, or to express an attitude.
The Yanyun Navy is really responsible for the battle, but there is no need for the Japanese Navy.
In other words, you Japanese people must make a clear choice between me and Li Wanjiang, but you must not have the illusion of having two boats.
Of course, I won’t let you help me in vain, big brother. There are still great benefits!
Brothers will settle accounts clearly. No matter what requests you have, brother, you can naturally put forward them, but let them discuss such small matters. We only need to decide on this big matter.
Of course, this is just a brother asking you for help, but I don’t mean to force you at all, so whether you agree or not, I will never blame you, brother, and it will never affect the intimacy between us brothers. emotion!
What Xiao Chen said was quite sincere, but if Emperor Shenzhao did not agree to this matter, it would definitely affect the relationship between Dongying and Yanyun, and he knew this well.
It's just that we have to discuss with the ministers about where to go...
The Japanese ministers also had completely different opinions on this. Jingwei was clearly divided into two factions. One faction tended to cooperate completely with Xiao Chen, and the representative figures were the newly promoted shoguns Kobayashi Haitang and Shaoyan Mingguang.
One group believes that this will lose the country's prestige, because it feels like we in Japan are like a knife in Xiao Chen's hand. Is it fair to just chop whoever we are asked to do?
Besides, if we do this, we will be completely at odds with Dazhou, which will be very detrimental to our ability to control the development of Yanyun and grasp the situation in the East in the future.
Everyone held their own opinions and their attitudes were very firm.
Xiao Lin Haitang sneered at the opposition's opinions. In our current state, why do we still want to control the situation in the East? It’s not easy to be alone!
You probably don’t understand how powerful the Yanyun Navy is, right? The last time we fought Yanyun, they didn't use all their strength at all. In fact, it was us and the Ross fleet who fought.
This time when we worked together to attack Andinisha, I witnessed with my own eyes the powerful strength of their navy, which is so powerful!
Our Japanese navy is so damaged that it is estimated that we will not be able to compete with them within five or even ten years.
Everyone, wake up. The era when our Japanese navy was invincible has passed. Now it is the era of Yanyun Navy in the East China Sea!
As for Xiao Chenjun’s methods, I don’t need to say more, right?
Everyone here must be very clear about the consequences of going against him. Please don't think too much or think too far. Let's first find a way to preserve our remaining strength.
Yizhou being in the hands of Da Zhou is quite disadvantageous to us, and it is certainly not good to fall into Xiao Chen's hands, but if the two evils are in conflict, we should choose the lesser.
Some of you think that if Yizhou falls into Xiao Chen's hands, it will form a situation of double-teaming us from the north to the south, but have you ever thought about it?
Even if we refuse to send troops, he himself is fully capable of taking Yizhou. We will not see any benefit at that time, and we will not be able to change the situation at all.
Let me say one more thing that most people may not like to hear. We should not think about how to expand now. Instead, we should adopt the strategy of shrinking defense and establish a considerable deep defense system within our borders to prevent us from being caught off guard when the situation worsens in the future. !
Because our biggest enemy right now is not Dazhou or Yanyun, but Ross!
As far as I know, during the second Goguryeo War, the Russians once wanted to take advantage of the situation and go south to attack our homeland!
If Xiao Chen hadn't firmly opposed it, we probably wouldn't be able to sit here and discuss things properly now, right?
If the Rus attack us, do you think Zhou will send troops to help? If our relationship with Xiao Chen deteriorates, do you think he will stop it?
Perhaps Li Wanjiang would send troops out of worry, but with the strength of their Great Zhou navy, could they compete with the Russians?
And if Zhou Dynasty sends troops, will Xiao Chen still stand by and ignore it? Once he intervenes... everyone can only prepare to be broken together.
Xiao Lin Haitang's words were a bit extreme and not pleasant at all, but it was a pity that what she said were basic facts. And what she expected would not only happen, but it might also be worse than she expected!
The reason why she mentioned the word jade is because if the Russians invade their homeland, they will be crushed by the Russian cavalry!
