Chapter 494 Passing the Throne

"Xiao Liming, I'm fucking grandma..." After receiving the news of the declaration of war, Huang Fu's first reaction was to curse! The glorious image standing under the sunshine a few days ago was completely thrown aside.

This time Xiao Guo suddenly declared war on Cai Guo, but it was really unexpected, with Huang Fu's political wisdom, it was unexpected!

In Huang Fu's view, the current Xiao country should be struggling to survive in the cracks. But the thing is that there is this weird change. The root of the change is that the ambitious Xiao Liming found a good excuse!

But Xiao Liming did not attack Cai Guo completely and blindly, but planned it. While attacking Cai Guo, Xiao Liming also sent envoys to visit the countries in the northwest direction, from north to south: Deng Guo, Zheng Guo, and Chen Guo.

The envoys sent by Xiao Liming are mainly to send letters, and the content of the letters is very simple, that is... (Please see O(∩_∩)O below!)

At night, in the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Chen, in the study of the emperor:

Yuan Shouzhi, Prime Minister of the Chen Kingdom, took the letter and saw that the Jindanqi messenger sent by Xiao Liming was already pale with exhaustion, so he arranged to have a rest.

In order to deliver the letter and deliver the letter to the destination in time, Xiao Guo not only dispatched the plane, but also let the Jindanqi masters fly the plane, constantly applying spells to the plane and increasing the speed during the flight.

Yuan Shouzhi opened the letter and looked at it, then put the letter on the emperor's desk, "Your Majesty, this is a letter written by His Majesty Xiao Guo. The handwriting is a little hasty, and it seems to be in a hurry."

Emperor Chen Guo picked up the letter and read it. After reading it, he put his hands on the table and looked up to think. It took a while before the letter was passed on to the people around: Prince Chen Jianjie, Taishi Wang Yongxin, Taiwei Tang Yin, and Commander-in-Chief Xu Ke. These few people can be said to be the pinnacle of Chen Guo's power.

After everyone circulated it, Emperor Chen suddenly turned his head and asked the prince, "Jianjie, what do you think?"

Chen Jianjie immediately replied, "First of all, I think His Majesty Xiao Guo is right. If we assist Xiao Guo to conquer Cai Guo, we can let Xiao Guo be our border defense Great Wall between us, Shang Kingdom and Tang Kingdom, and Restrict the development of Shang Kingdom and Tang Kingdom to the north.

In particular, it can directly block the development of Tang State.

Secondly, the son thinks that this is likely to be wishful thinking of His Majesty Xiao Guo. If Xiao Guo really blocked the development of Tang State, then Tang State and Shang Kingdom would definitely not let it go.

Sandwiched between all parties, the country of Xiao, in the place of the Fourth World War, is just a dying struggle.

Therefore, I believe that Xiao Guo will eventually fail.

But for this alliance, we should agree with Xiao Guo. "

Emperor Chen Guo nodded slightly, looked around, and looked at the prime minister, "Prime Minister, tell me your opinion."

Yuan Shouzhi got up and walked to the map hanging on the wall: "Your Majesty, I need to use the map to explain.

According to His Majesty Xiao Guo's letter, he wants us, Zheng Guo and Deng Guo to support Xiao Guo in conquering Cai Guo, so that Xiao Guo can completely swallow the rest of Cai Guo's territory.

If successful, Xiao Kingdom will become a long and narrow country from north to south, between us, Tang Kingdom and Shang Kingdom.

Your Majesty, please see, if Xiao Guo swallows the current Cai Guo, it will form a country similar to a crescent moon. The length and breadth of the north and south will be four thousand miles, but the east and west will be less than fifteen hundred miles. And wrap the borders of the entire Tang Kingdom and part of the Shang Kingdom to the southeast.

If this is the case, then the Xiao Kingdom will indeed become our shield. On the one hand, it will hinder the development of the Tang Kingdom and the Shang Kingdom to the northwest, and on the other hand, it can also threaten the Guangling County of the Shang Kingdom to the south.

After the Kingdom of Shang annexed the State of Qi, it formed a land form with a narrow center and swelling at both ends; and the narrowest one is here in Guangling County.

If the Jin and Xiao countries launch an attack at the same time, there is a great possibility that the Shang Kingdom will be cut off in the middle.

Therefore, I agree with His Majesty Xiao Guo's suggestion, not only should we not send troops to attack Cai Guo, but we should withdraw the troops stationed in Shangyong City, Cai Guo's old capital, and give it to Xiao Guo.

But at the same time, we maintain the stance of declaring war on Cai Guo and put pressure on Cai Guo.

As for declaring war on Cai Guo, we also use Xiao Guo's excuse to see what the young virtuous king of the Shang Kingdom will do. "

Speaking of this, Yuan Shouzhi paused for a while, looked at the prince, and continued: "Your Highness said that Xiao Guo will fail in the end, and I agree with this view. But even if Xiao Guo still perishes in the end, at least it can buy us a certain amount of time.

As long as we gain time, we can develop and strengthen ourselves! "

Emperor Chen Guo nodded slightly, then looked around, "What do you think?"

Everyone nodded, but the crown prince asked, "Why don't we send troops to occupy Cai? If we can swallow Cai, we can increase our strategic depth, and we can also defend the Tang and Shang kingdoms. And the defense is in our own hands, so it's more reliable, right?" .”

Grand Master Wang Yongxin smiled, "I can answer your Highness's question.

First of all, if we also attack Cai Guo, we will definitely fall into Cai Guo's earlier strategy in the end, and all countries will fight in Cai Guo's old place. But today's result will not benefit Cai, but Tang and even Shang.

Secondly, even if we don't have a melee in the end, there will be many countries bordering Tang and Shang kingdoms.

In contrast, it is better to let Xiao Guo swallow Cai Guo and form a unified front. At that time, we will support Xiao Kingdom to fight against Tang Kingdom and Shang Kingdom together, and consume the foundation of Xiao Kingdom, Tang Kingdom and Shang Kingdom. We sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for the opportunity.

Finally, in order to maintain the Xiao State's threat to the Shang Kingdom's Guangling County, we must also strengthen the Xiao State's power, so that the Shang Kingdom can focus on Xiao State. "

"So it is!" The prince suddenly realized.

Emperor Chen suddenly sighed, "Shang Kingdom, the sudden emergence of the Shang Kingdom is really amazing. My son Jianjie, father is already old, and his thinking cannot keep up with the development of the Shang Kingdom. You , need to grow up as soon as possible.

Recently, the situation in the east of Yingzhou has been changing, with conspiracies and calculations among various countries, and wars have continued.

First, the Great Xia State suddenly perished, then the Cai State suddenly weakened, and later the Qi State perished; now, the Cai State still cannot escape the fate of extinction.

The demise of one country will lead to a vacuum of power, and the demise of three countries will inevitably lead to irreparable results, which must be large-scale wars.

Coupled with the recent signs of catastrophe appearing continuously, the situation in the east of Yingzhou is becoming more and more chaotic.

With such a form, the emperor is already a little bit powerless, you need to grow up as soon as possible. "

"Father..."

Emperor Chen shook his hands, looked at the four people around Yuan Shouzhi, Wang Yongxin, Tang Yin, and Xu Ke, and took a deep breath: "The times have changed, and I have been studying all the materials from Shang Kingdom recently, but I always Some people don't understand. After thinking about it for a long time, I think maybe it's time to pass the position.

From now on, I will practice with peace of mind, strive to become a master in the transformation stage, and protect the country behind my back.

Ladies and gentlemen, the crown prince is entrusted to you.

How about this, starting tomorrow, the prince will start to listen to the government. "

The prime minister and the four of them glanced at each other, and Qi Qi said that he would definitely assist the crown prince to ascend the throne, and make the Chen country prosperous and strong, and pass it on forever.

…………

When Chen Guo was discussing the affairs of Xiao Guo, Zheng Guo, who was further north, and Deng Guo, who was further north, also received letters from Xiao Guo one after the other. At the same time, almost without discussion, these countries chose a unified action, which is to withdraw their troops, but at the same time maintain the declaration of war against Cai!

Declaring war on Cai Guo will not only put pressure on Cai Guo, but also please the Shang Kingdom—at least on the surface. As for the specifics, I can only say: it depends on the situation.

Anyway, on the surface it looks like: Li Xian, we were also very angry when we heard that Mr. Sun was kidnapped. Now we have some news that it is said that Cai Guo did it. As soon as we got the news, we declared war on Cai Guo, which is enough to save face. Bar.

The big and powerful countries are calculating and calculating with each other, but no one cares about Cai Guo's thoughts anymore.

In fact, at this time Cai Guo had no choice but to prepare for the war.

Perhaps, there is another option, and that is to surrender!

However, after learning that Xiao Guo declared war, the emperor of Cai Guo suddenly broke out and summoned all the officials overnight, "We have no way out, and the next thing is to fight to the death!

I would rather die in battle than surrender!

Anyone who dares to say surrender will be killed on the spot! "

The words were so loud that all the officials were stunned. Unexpectedly, Emperor Cai, who had been in a coma all this time, would be a man before he died!

But... what do we do? Many officials looked at each other in blank dismay, we don't want to die yet!
