Chapter 260 Standing on the Sidelines

Cai Guo, the imperial capital of Shangyong, most of the people coming and going are caravans; the most in the caravans are cloth and textile raw materials, followed by some steel products, bearings, bicycles, iron wire ingots, industrial wires, etc.

Because it is profitable, Huang Fu, the prime minister of Cai Guo, has become the biggest umbrella of the "Anyang dumping plan". However, Huang Fu also has some tricks. By passing on the crisis, he transferred the crisis of the dumping plan to other countries, which made Cai Guo also benefit a lot.

It's just that the upper classes are the ones who benefit, and the lives of ordinary people have been gradually destroyed by the dumping plan. But without talents like Yan Ze'an, Emperor Cai Guo was completely immersed in the prosperity built by Huang Fu and others.

In the palace, His Majesty the Emperor Cai Guo was listening to the "data" reported by Prime Minister Huang Fu. "Last month, 1.2 million taels of gold were put into storage. Among them, 400,000 taels came from the Royal Commercial Bank; the other 500,000 taels came from commercial taxes. Only about 300,000 taels came from past taxes and so on.

According to the current development law, it is expected to reach one million taels of gold next month, and it is expected that 12 large textile factories will be added.

Counting various consumption expenditures, by the end of this year, the treasury will have an accumulation of 5 million to 5.5 million taels of gold.

And through the transaction, the country's luck increased by 30%, and the country's luck lasted forever. "

Emperor Cai Guo was immersed in these figures, intoxicated for a long time and suddenly asked: "How is the situation in the south now?"

"Fighting in the nest!" Huang Fu summed it up in three words, "The three princes all ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperor, and Li Yulong also exposed his ambitions and proclaimed himself emperor. Anyang County, where Li Xian is located, is facing an unprecedented test; the message sent is: An army of one million, besieged from ten directions."

A look of anxiety flashed across Emperor Cai's eyes, "How about we send troops now to capture the southern kingdom?"

"No, no!" Huang Fu shook his head, "Your Majesty, the civil strife in the south, local separatist regimes, and infighting are consuming each other. Two years later, when they have consumed almost all of their consumption and have bloody feuds with each other, they will send troops. good chance.

Sending troops now will only make the various separatist regimes in the southern country share the same hatred.

In addition, I also took the opportunity to see the situation in Anyang. If Anyang can't stand it anymore, it won't be too late for us to send troops. "

Emperor Cai frowned slightly: "Two years? Will we miss the opportunity? The surrounding countries of Chen, Qi, and Jin are all staring at us."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, as the saying goes, 'a centipede is dead but not stiff', after all, the Southern Kingdom has a history of more than 3,000 years, and there is always some heritage. No matter who is attacking the Southern Kingdom now, even if they win, they will suffer big losses. It's terrible; when we send troops again, it will be easier."

"That's right, that's the reason! Then we'll wait and see what happens to other countries. If the southern country is vulnerable, we will send troops; if the southern country can still fight, we will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!" Cai The emperor "figured it out".

"Your Majesty is holy!" Huang Fu immediately sent praises.

Emperor Cai Guo carried himself away with pride, turned around and walked back to the emperor's throne, and began to enjoy the increased luck. Through commercial exchanges, a new "lucky path" was opened up, which greatly increased Cai's national fortune; and the most direct benefit of the increase in national fortune was to push Emperor Cai into the mid-Yuanying period. At this time, Emperor Cai sat on the throne to enjoy the benefits of the increased luck of the country, and his cultivation increased rapidly, and some insights that he did not understand during the practice would be inexplicably understood; it was much faster than practicing step by step.

After Huang Fu left the palace, he also returned home and began to enjoy good fortune; the increase in the national fortune, of course, the prime minister can get a considerable part of the good fortune, which is enough to make Huang Fu practice faster than the emperor - the emperor has to bear the sins, and the prime minister and all the officials Wait, only share the benefits.

Cai Guo is like this, and of course the surrounding Chen Guo and Qi Guo are also like this. Everyone watched the domestic disputes and infighting in Daxia with cold eyes. Only the state of Jin is ready to actively attack Anyang.

But the state of Jin is not siege, nor is it purely aggression, but Nanyang County is connected to the inside and outside, and Nanyang County is afraid of being beaten by Anyang, so it has no choice but to do so—at least in Kong Dong’s view, he has no choice but to do so Do.

The 300,000 troops of the Jin State were mighty and mighty, stretching for more than 50 miles; they went straight to Anyang. With people from Nanyang County leading the way, the journey will be as smooth as possible.

In addition, in order to catch Anyang by surprise, the marching speed was very fast, and even sent a team of about 10,000 people composed of pure foundation-building masters to attack quickly! It has to be said that Jin is a big country after all, and it is a powerful country with the peak of national strength. In an era of scarce resources, it was able to organize a team of tens of thousands of masters in the foundation period.

Kong Donglai watched with cold eyes, and didn't say a word about the military situation in Anyang and the situation of the masters; and the generals of the Jin Kingdom didn't ask—full of confidence! Even Li Lisong, the leader of the team, was very proud and didn't ask. Over the years, Jin has been a big and powerful country. Even Li Lisong has gotten used to his own strength and doesn't take Anyang seriously.

The masters in the foundation building period are fast on their way. They set off at noon, and when the sun sets, they will cross Nanyang County and arrive at the border of Anyang. But Li Lisong did not stop at the junction of Anyang and Nanyang counties, but bypassed here and went directly to the Xiandaihe battlefield.

Seeing this, Kong Donglai couldn't help asking: "Why doesn't the general attack here? It's just dark at this moment, and if you attack suddenly, you will definitely be able to break through Anyang's border defense in one fell swoop and drive straight in."

Li Lisong glanced at Kong Donglai, smiled slightly, but didn't answer, just said: "Military secrets, please forgive me for not being able to tell."

This understatement expression is quite contemptuous.

When Kong Donglai saw this, his chest was filled with anger, but on the surface he smiled mischievously: "I was reckless."

Li Lisong glanced at Kong Donglai again, and continued to take the lead, advancing rapidly.

In fact, Li Lisong had his own calculations: If he raided from the junction of Nanyang County and Anyang, he would be considered a victory. From here to Anyang City, there would be more than 500 miles along the way, and the army would inevitably encounter obstacles. Although there are 300,000 troops, they are far away from their homeland and go deep alone. Once they fall into the quagmire, the entire army may be wiped out. For Anyang, Li Lisong was somewhat cautious after all.

But it would be different if they attacked from Xiandaihe. Here, it was already in a state of confrontation, and the Jin army should be able to easily break through the defense and enter Luliang County. Luliang County is not Anyang, and the defense is empty; the army can easily and quickly pass through Luliang County, directly reach Anyang, and reach Qingyun Valley!

This is the plan of Jin Guo and Li Lisong; helping Nanyang County is only secondary and convenient, but the most important thing is to loot Qingyun Valley.

After running like this for nearly two hours, Li Lisong led 10,000 foundation builders to the Xiandai River.

At this time, the two sides of the Xiandai River were confronting each other. On the south bank was the 100,000 troops of Nanyang County led by Nan Gongzhi, the commander of Nanyang County, and the 100,000 troops led by Dongyuan County General Yuan Jinjiang, a total of 200,000 troops; the north bank was led by Anyang Yan Zhengqing. , A total of 100,000 troops.

Looking at the quantity, Anyang's 100,000 troops are at a disadvantage; but the actual situation is just the opposite.
