"There was originally no enmity between Dayan and your country, but the Liang Kingdom was in the way. Now Li Yue personally leads a hundred thousand black cloud elites to attack the Xiang Kingdom. He will repeat Ran Min's defeat. I have heard for a long time that the King of Heaven intends to purge the world, so I don't want to lead him. The army leaves Tongguan, attacks Luoyang, captures Yanyu, and divides the Central Plains equally with the Yan Dynasty! This opportunity must not be lost and will never come again. May the King of Heaven think about it."
Feng Fang personally rushed to Chang'an to act as a lobbyist.
His eloquent tongue made all the officials of Di and Qin very excited.
The competition between Liang and Yan is an opportunity that cannot be missed for Di Qin.
Once the outcome is determined in Guandong, regardless of Liang Yan, the next target of the conquest will definitely be Guanzhong, and Di Qin will face tremendous pressure.
"Divide the Central Plains equally?" Fu Jian laughed, "Guanzhong has just stabilized, the people want to govern, and the soldiers are tired of war. I hope King Yan will bear with me. You can rest assured in this battle. I, Da Qin, will never interfere in Guandong, and will never assist Liang Liang. country, as for the equal division of the Central Plains, we can wait until the Xiang Kingdom fights."
The purpose of Yan State was to get Fu Jian to send troops.
But Yanyu is the core area of Liang State and is not so easy to fight.
Moreover, Luoyang and Xuchang are both places of right and wrong. If you get stuck, don't try to get out easily.
Feng Fang said anxiously: "That Li Yue's wolfish ambition will invade Guanzhong sooner or later. If the King of Heaven allows him to grow stronger, the consequences will be disastrous."
Quan Yi cupped his hands and said: "It's not that we, the Qin Dynasty, don't want to send troops, but that there is a shortage of food and grass and the soldiers are tired. If your country is willing to assist with 500,000 stones of grain, 10,000 horses, and 5,000 iron armors, the King of Heaven will send troops immediately!"
Feng Fang opened his eyes wide. Five hundred thousand stones of grain, ten thousand war horses... Di Qin really dared to speak.
There are also five thousand armors...
The Yan Kingdom has been experiencing continuous wars in recent years, and its life is not abundant. The original plan to expand the army by 300,000 people was only 200,000. The main reason was the lack of food and grass.
"The king of heaven doesn't know something. The king of Yan has sent an envoy to Jiangdong and invited Huan Wen from Jiangdong to attack the plains together. Hebei will return to Yan, Yanyu will return to Qin, and Qingxu will return to Jin. From then on, the three kingdoms will become a good alliance." Feng Fang made his final effort.
But upon hearing Huan Wen's name, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became subtle.
Fu Jian's father, Fu Xiong, died indirectly at the hands of Huan Wen.
Although Huan Wen's Northern Expedition failed, it also severely damaged Di Qin, and there was a blood feud between the two sides.
It's okay if Fu Jian can't avenge Fu Xiong, but he has also formed an alliance with his enemy. How will the soldiers and people of Guanzhong treat him in the future?
The hatred of killing his father was irreconcilable. Huan Wen's father Huan Yi was killed in the Su Jun Rebellion. Jiang Bo, the magistrate of Jing County, participated in the plan. Huan Wen was only fifteen years old and wept at the enemy's side. Taking advantage of Jiang Bo's illness and death, he infiltrated the Jiang family. He killed his son Jiang Biao, hunted down his second brother, and finally avenged his father, which was praised by people at the time.
Qiang and Di customs have always advocated revenge.
Fu Jian's face immediately darkened, "See you off."
"King of Heaven!" The more anxious Feng Fang became, the more mistakes he made, and he was pushed out by his guards.
The reason why Fu Jian chose to get close to Liang was not only due to strategic interests, but also because he did not want to participate in the Yan-Jin alliance.
"Murong's ambition is not inferior to that of Li Yue. It is a wise move for the two kings to not help each other." Lu Polou cupped his hands and said.
Fu Jian's face became a little brighter, "Liang's destruction of Yan cannot happen overnight, and Yan's destruction of Qin cannot be accomplished in ten days. The situation is uncertain. If I venture into it, won't I offend others?"
"I believe that the Yan Kingdom will be defeated in this battle!" Quan Yi said loudly.
Among the ministers in the palace, Quan Yi knew the Liang Kingdom best. When he followed Yao Xiang and took refuge under the wings of the Liang Kingdom, he saw many things that others could not see.
"Why?" Qiang Wang looked dissatisfied.
Yan State also annexed Zhang Ping's Bingzhou last year. This year, it defeated Tuoba Shi Yijian and took away the Tuoba family's home base of Daijun.
Quan Yi spoke eloquently: "The revolution in the Central Plains has been completed. Not only did the revolution in Yan State fail, General Yue Wan's death is unclear. There is no explanation yet. Murong Chui would not tolerate Murong Jun. If not for this battle, Murong Chui would not be able to be reused. If there is internal disharmony, how can external security be undefeated? Liang Guo has been carefully planning this war for a long time. If there is no chance of winning, how can the Liang King take action? "
Qiang Wang rushed to Fu Jian and said, "In this case, our army should help the Murong family to resist the Liang Kingdom!"
"No, even if our army takes action, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the Black Cloud Army! It would be a big disadvantage if we are at odds with the Liang Kingdom."
Quan Yi means that Liang Guo has the strength to fight one against two.
There were whispers in the hall, some didn't believe it, some were disdainful, and some were thoughtful.
"In my opinion, you must be a craftsman of the Liang Kingdom. You are bent on scheming for the Liang Kingdom and disrupting the morale of our army. You should be executed according to law!" Qiang Wang stared at Quan Yi.
Fu Jian waved his hand towards Qiang Wang, "Don't talk nonsense, how could Minister Quan do this?"
Lu Polou said: "Liang Guoqiang Ruosi?"
"Sixty-seven percent of the world's population is in Guandong. The monarchs and ministers of the Liang Kingdom have worked hard in the past few years to restore 80% of the vitality of the Central Plains. It can be said that the army is well-prepared. Don't forget that the king of Liang ordered Wang Meng to prepare a new army in Yangcheng, but he never took action!" Quan Yi stroked his long beard.
Population is national strength.
Since the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, Guanzhong has been the hardest hit area. Natural disasters have been followed by man-made disasters, which have never stopped.
So far, Fu Jian actually controls a population of less than 700,000, and only has more than 40,000 elite men under his command. Including the military strength of various powerful chiefs and clans, the total is only about 110,000...
Of course, there must be more than just these people in Guanzhong. The problem is that it is concentrated in the hands of powerful chiefs and powerful people, and Fu Jian cannot touch them.
Therefore, Liang and Yan were both giants to Di Qin.
Fu Jian was undoubtedly wise not to participate in the Liang-Yan War.
Even if Luoyang or Yuzhou is captured, they will become the target of public criticism and will be difficult to defend.
"What you said is true!" Fu Jian humbly bowed his hand to Quan Yi.
Quan Yi returned the courtesy and admired Fu Jian a little more in his heart. Not all monarchs are willing to listen to the truth. Although Di Qin is strong in combat, it also has big internal problems and external enemies are eyeing it. "So, it is a plan for the king of heaven and a plan for the Qin Dynasty." , we should send troops to Liangzhou at this time!"
During the Yongjia Rebellion, Yongbin and the two prefectures led the rebellion.
Some of the people in Guanzhong followed the Li Te brothers south to Shuzhong, while others moved west to Liangzhou and joined Zhang Gui's command.
It once became a place where people traveled westward, and Liangzhou also ushered in a golden period of development.
The six generations of the Zhang family worked hard to manage Liangzhou, rewarded farmers and mulberry trees, established schools, made many achievements, minted five baht coins, restored commerce, and connected the western regions. In its heyday, its territory spanned Hehe and Huang in the south, Qin and Long in the east, and Arrive at Congling and go north to Juyan.
Therefore, being able to withstand Shi Hu's three attacks was not a fluke.
"The people of Liangzhou are rich in the country, but they advocate the elimination of desolation and immorality. This is a gift from heaven. If the Qin Dynasty wants to become a three-legged power, it must recruit the people of Liangzhou to enrich the Guanzhong, and then move into Bashu to strengthen the Qin Dynasty. Only in this way can it compete with the Qin Dynasty. It’s time to compete in Guandong!” Quan Yi said earnestly.
Lu Polou clapped his hands and praised, "It's exactly what Mr. Quan said. The disharmony inside and outside Liangzhou is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we don't take it now, if we replace Mingjun in the future, Liangzhou will be a trouble for the Qin Dynasty's henchmen!"
Liangzhou has everything Di Qin lacks most.
Only by winning Liangzhou can Di Qin become powerful.
Fu Jian stood up and said, "I have decided to capture Liangzhou!"
