Zhang Beichen's initial choice was the same as in the previous rounds, to develop shaft furnaces, steelmaking, and various iron farm tools to enhance South Korea's agricultural, military, and economic strength.
When South Korea already had a certain level of strength, especially when its ironware was sold to countries all over the world, Zhang Beichen took action.
[You write to South Korea and suggest that the King of Han form an alliance with the King of Shu, the Marquis of Ju, and the King of Ba to sell goods to both places. King Han accepted your suggestion. 】
[The King of Han gave gifts to Marquis Ju and King Ba. King Shu, Marquis Ju and Ba were very fond of Korea’s hundreds of steel weapons and armors, so they formed allies with Korea and traded with each other. 】
Both Bashu and Bashu wanted to annex each other, so as soon as they knew that the other side had purchased South Korea's hundreds of steel-making weapons, they naturally refused to miss it.
As for Ju Hou, he was a prince under the King of Shu. He ruled the country of Ju and was located between Bashu and Bashu.
Even though the strength of Ju State is not as good as that of Bashu and Bashu, its geographical location is very critical and is of great use.
Zhang Beichen continued to operate.
[You trained many spies and went to the Bashu region disguised as businessmen. They traveled around, not only surveying and mapping the Bashu region, but also bribed many powerful people, building a huge interest network. 】
After several years of development, South Korea has become stronger. Especially relying on his steel-making skills, he made a lot of money from various countries, which was enough to support Zhang Beichen's plan.
As for Han Mengshu, while balancing domestic forces, he continued to secretly disrupt other countries and delay their development.
But slowly, she started to get a little anxious.
This game, the situation seems to be similar to the previous game, or even worse.
After all, they occupied Zhongshan Kingdom early in the last round. In this round, South Korea didn't even defeat Zhongshan Kingdom, and it still has the smallest land and population!
"What is Zhang Beichen doing?" Han Mengshu checked Zhang Beichen's information.
[Zhang Beichen, citing the inconvenience of trade, asked the King of Shu, Marquis Ju and King Ba to repair domestic roads and provide financial support. King Shu, Marquis Ju and King Ba readily agreed. 】
[Zhang Beichen presented ten beauties from the Central Plains to Marquis Ju. Marquis Ju liked them very much and rewarded Zhang Beichen with a title. 】
If Zhang Beichen's loyalty wasn't still eighty, Han Mengshu would have suspected that he was trying the opposite again.
However, in this game, the two people were quite close, and they both reached a level of trust. Of course, wicker education is indispensable.
[Zhang Beichen secretly sent people to provoke a war between Shu and Ba. The friction between Shu and Ba continued, and the national power continued to be consumed. 】
"Could it be that Zhang Beichen wants to attack Bashu?" Han Mengshu noticed his intention, but felt that the difficulty was too high.
"The roads in the Bashu area are impassable, and the army cannot move at all! Furthermore, South Korea is too far away from Bashu, and there is no supply of food, grass, weapons, and reinforcements!"
[You call Zhang Beichen and ask him about his plan in the palace. 】
"Prime Minister, do you want to capture Bashu?" Han Mengshu asked directly.
"Yes." Zhang Beichen replied, "The Bashu region has natural geographical advantages and great development potential. As long as it captures Bashu, South Korea will have the foundation to conquer the world."
"The road to Bashu is long and rugged. After the expedition, we will not be able to support our food, weapons, or soldiers. If Qin and Chu block us, and the neighboring Wei and Zhao sneak attack on our rear, Korea will be in danger of destruction !" Han Mengshu thought about it carefully, but this idea was really difficult to carry out.
Zhang Beichen agreed: "Once we go to Bashu, we really can't take care of the rear. Therefore, my plan is to abandon Han directly and move the whole country to the Bashu area!"
"What?" Han Mengshu had never thought of this idea and just changed countries!
This is really crazy. Who would think of giving up their own territory and traveling thousands of miles to a remote place?
Although Bashu had gradually developed at this time, it was still a poor country compared with other countries.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Beichen admonished: "If you think about it carefully, South Korea is in a land surrounded by wolves and is inherently deficient. No matter how we develop, we will never be an opponent of the surrounding countries!"
"Rather than just sit back and wait for death, it's better to give it a try, capture Bashu, and reestablish Korea! The land of Bashu is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it also has grain-producing land. It only takes more than ten years of dormancy to gain the capital to dominate the world!"
Food is population, and the Bashu region has an important grain production base!
Han Mengshu asked again: "Prime Minister, even if everyone agrees with your strategy, how can South Korea defeat Bashu?"
"Just look at my layout!" Zhang Beichen persuaded Han Mengshu.
[The King of Han began to pave the way for your plan, selecting young men and women in the country to train an army. 】
During this period, all countries had completed their initial stages of development and began to conquer each other.
…
In the Qin State, the Ying Yi people finally completed the reform, conquered the Rongdi tribe, and began to prepare to attack the Yiqu State.
At this time, she began to miss Zhang Beichen.
"When Lord Beichen is here, I don't need to be so exhausted..." Ying Yiren thought, "Jun Beichen is still in South Korea, and South Korea will inevitably be destroyed. After I laid down the Yi Canal, I led my army to attack South Korea and recapture Lord Beichen. !”
…
In the palace of King Wei, Wei Yao felt dizzy when she looked at the pile of government affairs in front of her.
"It's so annoying. Why do I have to do so many things?" Wei Yao recalled her days of wine and meat. That's called life!
Eat, drink and have fun every day, and you can also play some interactive games with Zhang Beichen...
"No, I must snatch Zhang Beichen back!" Wei Yao immediately ordered, "Pang Ming, Young Master Jiu, please hurry up and come up with a plan for me to attack Korea!"
…
"Almost! If it doesn't work, all countries will attack South Korea!" Zhang Beichen checked the information and found that all countries were preparing to attack South Korea and had to start taking action.
[You should admonish the King of Han and ask the King of Han to present five large iron oxen to Marquis Ju. They are all forged from hundreds of steel. If smelted, they can be used to forge magical weapons. In addition, the iron bull's belly is all forged with gold. 】
[Marquis Ju was overjoyed and wanted to take over Tieniu. At this time, you pointed out to Marquis Ju that the road to Shu was difficult and the soldiers could not transport the iron ox to Ju. Marquis Ju then ordered craftsmen to cut rocks into the mountains and build special iron cattle roads for transportation. 】
[You let people reveal the news to the King of Shu, and you added fuel to the fire to sow discord. The King of Shu was very dissatisfied with the reduction of tribute by Marquis Ju. After learning about Tieniu and gold, he ordered craftsmen to build Shu roads so that he could send troops to conquer Ju. 】
Zhang Beichen continued to wait, and another year of simulation time passed.
Countries have begun to attack South Korea, and Zhang Beichen has not taken the initiative to attack. If anyone comes to attack, he will strictly guard against it and try to reduce losses.
South Korea's current national strength is still very strong. As long as it does not take the initiative to send troops, it will not be destroyed within a few years.
[Within one year, South Korea lost nearly 30% of its land, but because it retreated in time, it did not lose many soldiers. 】
…
[Marquis Ju sent you a letter, saying that the Iron Ox Road has been built, and please deliver the Iron Ox as promised. ] Han Mengshu saw this news.
When she saw it, not only the Iron Ox Road, but also the Shu Road sent by the King of Shu was almost completed.
A crucial choice appeared in front of Han Mengshu.
[Refuse to give the iron ox as a gift and sow discord between King Shu, Marquis Ju and King Ba, allowing the three countries to conquer each other and gain benefits from it. 】
[Pretended to agree to the gift of iron ox, and sent an army to conquer the country of Ju. At the same time, defend South Korea and develop bilaterally. 】
[Pretend to agree to give the Iron Bull as a gift, make a desperate move, lead the young men of Korea to conquer Bashu, and adopt Zhang Beichen's strategy of changing the country! 】
[Refuse to give Iron Bull as a gift, stick to the homeland and look for other opportunities. 】
