Li Changkong didn't stay long in Northern Xinjiang and returned to Qiandu City with the four great masters.
When he returned to the city, still several miles away from Qiandu City, Li Changkong was inevitably a little timid about his hometown.
After all, I have been away from home for more than half a year.
However, to his expectation, Emperor Zhaowu Liu Yu actually waited at the top of the city just to enter the city with him.
After entering the city, there were even more people on both sides of the long street, all shouting for Uncle Anbei!
After sending Princess Changping to the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment and telling Zhong Yu to take good care of her, Li Changkong appeared in Nuange.
Liu Yu was really impatient for his conversation.
"Old Li, Old Li, I haven't seen you for so long, you really gave me a big surprise!"
"You planned a country without saying a word. I will reward you well at the court meeting tomorrow!"
"Your Majesty specially summoned me here just to say these things?" Li Changkong said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Yu also smiled: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you!"
"It's still about the Great Jin Dynasty. To be honest, I want to swallow up all of this Great Jin Dynasty!"
"But I'm afraid that the great Chu in the west won't agree. What should I do?"
"Your Majesty, when he was in Northern Xinjiang, King Zhongshan also asked me this question. How do you think I answered?"
"Don't try to show off, come here quickly!"
"I said that if Da Qian annexed Da Jin, Emperor Jianwu of Chu should not be angry and punish him, but should be rewarded!"
"Why? That Emperor Jianwu is not an easy character to deal with!" Liu Yu frowned.
"It's very simple. Emperor Jianwu's greatest vision in this life is to restore the aloof status that the Chu Dynasty held hundreds of years ago when it divided the princes and was followed by everyone in the world."
"In this case, after we annex the Jin Dynasty, we will send an eloquent person to Dachu to bring my Daqian treasures and pay tribute with the etiquette of a vassal state. Naturally, he will not embarrass us. Got it!"
"With the etiquette of vassal states?" When Liu Yu heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed and he paced back and forth, with visible tangles on his face.
Li Changkong looked at this scene and laughed deeply: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you actually have the ambition to devour the world!"
When Liu Yu heard this, he was suddenly startled, but when he saw it was Li Changkong, he was relieved and sighed: "In such a troubled world, all the heroes in the world are rising up. Since I have great ambitions, why don't I want to compete with them for the world?"
"Then if I do something great, I should surrender to Da Chu!"
"In other words, it's temporary surrender!"
"What's the explanation for this?" Liu Yu felt a little relieved after hearing the word "temporary".
"In your Majesty's opinion, who are the most likely to seize the world in today's world?"
"No more than three people!"
"Emperor Jianwu of Chu, the young emperor of Western Qin, and the one who has a blood feud with me, Da Qian - Tuoba Tian Khan!"
"Yes, these three people are all outstanding people! And it coincides with the great Chu, Western Qin and Northern Yuan states being very powerful, far surpassing the other vassal states!"
"At least for now, they have the right time, right place, and right people!"
"As for me, Da Gan, relatively speaking, even if I swallow Da Jin, and even add Nan Chen to unify the three eastern kingdoms, my foundation is still far behind!"
"So you must first choose one of them, surrender first, use its momentum, continue to develop, and finally accumulate strength to become an existence that can compete with these three!"
"Among these three, Bei Yuan and I, Da Gan, have a blood feud and are irreconcilable. How can we surrender to our enemies?"
"Western Qin is too far away, so it seems like it has a choice, but in fact it doesn't. It can only temporarily surrender to Chu!"
"Emperor Jianwu of Chu seems to be headstrong, but from my perspective, he is actually a very loyal person!"
"If we surrender to him first, it will be difficult for him to hit us with a cold face!"
"In this case, it is not impossible to find an excuse to destroy Nanchen and unify the three eastern kingdoms in the future!"
After hearing what Li Changkong said, Liu Yu was enlightened and felt extremely relieved!
However, there is still one thing that cannot be let go no matter what: "Lao Li, these are all the advantages you mentioned, but there is still a flaw that must be guarded against!"
"If one day I, Da Gan, are really strong enough to compete with other heroes and compete in the world, then how can I break free from this nominal shackles?"
When Li Changkong heard this, he immediately realized Liu Yu's worries.
You say that Daqian is a vassal state of Dachu now, but what if Daqian is strong enough to compete with Dachu? When the time comes, Da Qian also wants to get a piece of the world's pie, but if he directly confronts Da Chu, wouldn't he be called a rebel?
What's this? This is a mouthful!
In the feudal dynasty, when launching a war, one division must be famous!
Otherwise, people will be given a thumbs up!
Especially when heroes are competing for hegemony, when others have a handle on you, it is equivalent to having a reputation as a master, and they can beat you if they want!
On the other hand, you attack the opponent without a name, and you fall into the inferior position in name only.
This is exactly what Liu Yu is worried about!
However, Li Changkong had another opinion on this.
"Your Majesty, in your opinion, can Emperor Jianwu have the last laugh and dominate the world?"
"This..., how can I know." Liu Yu shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
"In this case, if we follow Emperor Jianwu, there are only two results."
"Either Emperor Jianwu is defeated midway, then the name of this country will disappear! No one will care at all!"
"Either Emperor Jianwu becomes the real Emperor Wu, destroys all enemies, and persists until the end!"
"At that time, I'm afraid only Da Chu and Da Gan will be left!"
"If the two are competing with each other, does reputation still matter?" Li Changkong asked rhetorically.
Names are very important when heroes are fighting for hegemony, but if two people are competing, is it still needed?
Definitely not needed! The remaining enemy and us only need to use all their strength to kill each other. They can use any destructive move. Why worry about reputation?
If you can win and survive, your reputation will be good no matter what.
If you can't survive, your reputation will be bad no matter what.
When Liu Yu heard this, he suddenly became enlightened and enlightened!
"Listening to what you have to say is better than ten years of reading!"
"I will send an envoy to Da Chu right now!"
"No! Send the army first, take over the entire Jin Dynasty, eat everything in your stomach, and then visit Emperor Jianwu."
"The dust has settled, he can't let us spit it out again!"
"Yes, yes! Who is the envoy to Dachu? Do you want to go there in person?" Liu Yu asked.
When Li Changkong heard this, he shook his head: "The last time Li Jibei and I went to Dachu, we had already offended the other party's Prime Minister Fan Ju. When we left, the other party sent three master-level experts to chase him! "
"It is inappropriate to go again at this time."
"Let Jia Ge grow old. He is well-informed and eloquent. He is just an envoy to Chu, so he can't be troubled."
"If it doesn't work out, just mention Emperor Xiaowu again, and I'm sure Emperor Jianwu won't refuse to agree!"
