Chapter 1,124
Mohe City?
Lu Xiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Emperor Wu'an in disbelief.
King Wei sneered: "Is that a deserted city with a large area of black swamp where everything you plant will die, and there are only a few dozen households in the whole city?"
"Father, this deal is not a good deal, please don't agree to it!"
King Kang didn't understand Emperor Wu'an's meaning just now. He thought more deeply when Zhao Hui mentioned it. When Xiao Lintian said Mo He, he felt that this was his chance to express himself.
"Brother, your statement is wrong! This Mohe is said to be a treasure city!"
King Kang also heard about it, so he used it to show his erudition.
"It is said that there are many treasures buried under those dark swamps! The surrounding stone mountains should be coal mines!"
Ling Yu was speechless after hearing this. Is there a treasure buried in the swamp? Does this King Kang have any brains?
But this dark swamp made Ling Yu's heart skip a beat. Could this be a modern oil field?
That's really a treasure!
But Emperor Wu An didn't know oil at all, so he would never be tempted by this!
Moreover, King Ning bets Mohe City to whitewash Xiahou Danruo's murder, so Mohe City must be more valuable than other cities!
Ling Yu didn't know much about Mohe City, so she didn't interrupt and listened quietly.
Xiao Lintian waited for King Kang to finish speaking before saying: "Father, there are indeed several coal mines in Mohe City, and getting them will be a huge wealth!"
"Ke Erchen thinks that King Ning has other thoughts. The border of Mohe is close to the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Northern Wei Dynasty had long thought of attacking the Eastern Qi Dynasty because Mohe River is dangerous and difficult to conquer!"
"Prince Ning made a bet on Mohe. He didn't lose anything if he won. Dong Qi has no shortage of coal resources! But he didn't lose anything if he lost!"
Before Xiao Lintian finished speaking, King Wei couldn't wait to mock him: "Aren't you inconsistent? We gained Mohe and he lost his military barrier. Isn't this a loss?"
Xiao Lintian looked directly at Emperor Wu'an calmly: "Father, does Prince Ning promise that he will work with us to deal with the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
Emperor Wu An smiled happily when he saw that Xiao Lintian had seen through the inside story behind the bet.
"Prince Ning is so cunning. He thought he could seduce me by throwing out this bait, but he forgot that I am not the one who can deceive him!"
In front of his cronies like the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Wu An spoke unabashedly.
"On the surface, King Ning presented a treasure city, but in reality, his intention was that if he loses, he can use us to help him deal with the Northern Wei Dynasty!"
"But it is also beneficial to us to get Mohe. Those coal resources can feed several armies. The military use of Mohe can also allow us to contain the Eastern Qi and Northern Wei!"
"Everyone, King Ning's bet in the siege competition is also to test the strength of our army. If we lose the siege competition and King Ning forms an alliance with the Northern Wei Dynasty, you should know what a threat it is to our Western Qin!"
"So, this siege competition is very important to us, we can only win but not lose!"
Xiao Lintian understood why Emperor Wu'an said what he just said. If he loses the siege competition, it means his military strength is not as good as that of Eastern Qi and Northern Wei.
As long as these two countries form an alliance and go to war against Western Qin, Western Qin will be in danger!
Emperor Wu'an wanted to use this move to establish the status of the powerful Western Qin, so that the two countries would not dare to peek at the Western Qin.
Winning Mohe can also fill the national treasury and prepare military pay for the next step of unifying the four countries.
After winning the siege competition, Xiahou Dan can confidently denounce her if she kills someone.
If they lose, the entire Western Qin Dynasty will be in danger, and who cares about the life and death of Lu Gang, a commoner!
