Chapter 521: Help
For several days, Li Xian was so busy that his feet never touched the ground. Xu Ren is about to go on a long journey. It may take at least half a year, as long as a year, or even three to five years. This made Li Xian a little uneasy.
Since the rise of Li Xian, Xu Ren has been by his side to assist. Now, Xu Ren suddenly wants to leave and go to Zhao Guo to negotiate, Li Xian has an indescribable anxiety.
Therefore, in the past few days, Li Xian has been asking Xu Ren for advice on many things, big and small. Perhaps in terms of general direction, Li Xian is more confident than anyone else; but to govern a country, it is not enough to have a general direction and a big vision.
Emperor Sui Yang's vision was far-sighted enough, but in the end, a country that was richer than the Tang Dynasty was dragged down abruptly.
However, parting was inevitable. At present, the Shang Kingdom is the one who reassures Li Xian the most, understands Li Xian's thoughts the most, understands the core of industry, commerce and capitalism, understands the interests of the Shang Kingdom, and is qualified to have a direct dialogue with Zhao Guo, only Xu Ren.
Therefore, Xu Ren is the leader of this negotiation. Even Yuan Yong can only be a deputy.
Before leaving, Xu Ren was also a little worried. Li Xian was good at everything, but he liked to cock his tail. Especially in the current Shang Kingdom, Li Xian has enough qualifications to raise his tail.
After thinking about it, Xu Ren could only find Yan Ze'an, and said in front of Li Xian, Li Yuanming and others: "Old Yan, you also know the temper of the young master, you are calm in doing things, please persuade the young master more.
As for Li Yuanming, don't be too aggressive. Sometimes it is better to go slower than to go the wrong way. If you go the wrong way, it will be difficult to turn back.
The Shang Kingdom is moving fast enough now, and the current national policy is sufficient to support the development of the Shang Kingdom for three years without any changes. "
Everyone responded, and Li Xian took the lead to see him off. Although reluctant, I still have to leave.
Xu Ren is the person in charge of this negotiation, Yuan Yong is the deputy, plus representatives from the judiciary, industry and commerce, education, engineering, infrastructure, military, national defense, etc., plus some escorts, businessmen accompanying the team, etc. people.
In addition, the captain of the guard is Xuan Mingzi, a "local" in the middle of Yingzhou.
In the storage rings in the hands of Xu Ren, Yuan Yong, Xuan Mingzi and others, many items were stored, including general models, gifts, ammunition, fuel and so on. Almost "backed up" the Kingdom of Shang once.
Of the more than 200 people from Zhao State, more than 100 people stayed behind; a member of the royal family 'Zhao Wu' was in charge of establishing Zhao State's royal group - Lingxiao Group, and planned to take over the French and Shang Kingdom in an all-round way. Learn from "Bright Star Group".
In addition, after hearing about this incident, the people who saw off the visiting team of Shang Kingdom's first expatriate country almost stretched from the City Lord's Mansion to the suburbs outside Anyang City.
Kingdom Shang's first diplomatic visit was to Zhao State; not to mention, it was Zhao State who begged Shang Kingdom to visit! This is an indescribable honor and pride for the people of the Shang Kingdom, especially the people here in Anyang City.
However, Xu Ren and the others were driving a total of 300 large and small planes, including three latest supersonic planes. This is a negotiation, but it is not a "bright sword". Negotiating all the way through the past is also showing the muscles of the Shang Kingdom all the way.
Among them, there are two six-engine behemoths carrying the most representative 240mm land artillery.
There is the Kingdom of Shang in the east and the Kingdom of Zhao in the west. Most countries must consider the construction of this "artery". Among other things, once the main artery is built, everyone will be able to buy arms from the Kingdom of Shang.
Three hundred planes took off from the suburban airport and soared into the sky like a dark cloud. The first stop is to visit Shao country, then Xing country; then visit the past along the way until Zhao country.
There are more than forty countries on the planned route of the main artery, but on Xu Ren's itinerary, there are hundreds of countries that need to be visited.
Building a major artery is not just an economic consideration, but also a political consideration. As long as this main artery is built, Shang Kingdom will become the "big brother" of Yingzhou Dongfang. The tentacles of Shang Kingdom will extend from the seaside to the middle of Yingzhou in one fell swoop.
As long as this step is achieved, the next step is to extend to the entire Yingzhou, and it will be a matter of course.
Faced with such a visit, almost all the newspapers in Shang Kingdom published it like this: Glory, glory, endless glory!
From this moment on, the Kingdom of Shang is no longer a border country in the east of Yingzhou, but a big country that can have a great influence on Yingzhou!
…………
At this moment, Ling Zhifeng suddenly saw that there seemed to be a little golden light spot in the center of the Temple of Heaven, where the luck of the Shang Kingdom gathered. There are few light spots, very faint, but very conspicuous; small light spots, the light is also very weak, but it seems to have infinite brilliance.
"This is..." Ling Zhifeng was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was full of shock and ecstasy, "This is the legendary holy spirit!!
However, how can there be merit and holy energy here? "
…………
When the 300 planes took off, in Shao's country, Gongsun Jue, who had rushed back from the Kingdom of Shang, was arguing with the emperor of Shao and all the civil and military officials.
"Your Majesty, what I said above is the agreement I reached with the Kingdom of Shang. Because the situation was urgent at the time, I had to cut it first and act later."
Shao Guotai Lieutenant Feng Yaodong questioned forcefully: "Gongsun Jue, His Majesty sent you to the Kingdom of Shang, but he didn't give you the right to kill first and then act later!
Let's not talk about your overreaching right now, but let's say that the agreement you reached is to fully surrender to the Shang Kingdom and sell a lot of Shao Kingdom's interests. This decision seems a bit inappropriate! How do you explain? "
Everyone looked at Gongsun Jue, including His Majesty the Emperor of Shao. Yes, Gongsun Jue's decision this time really horrified the senior management of the Shao Kingdom. The so-called loss of power, humiliation of the country, and betrayal of the country for glory are nothing more than that.
Gongsun Jue was not worried, and his tone was sonorous and forceful: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask a question. If the Kingdom of Shang launches an attack, can we stop the Kingdom of Shang?"
When Emperor Shao heard this question, he was a little annoyed—it really was "daring", but he still said: "If the Kingdom of Shang attacks, we are well prepared and can buy at least one month. And one month is enough for us to attack." Find a way, and even ask other countries for help."
Then I can't stop it, why are you talking so much nonsense! Although Gongsun Jue complained about His Majesty's detours, he could only continue:
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, today's Shang Kingdom is unstoppable and the general trend has been achieved. Today's Shang Kingdom is already the most powerful country within a radius of 100,000 miles. No country can stand alone against the Shang Kingdom's attack. .
If you consider the relationship between the Kingdom of Shang and the Kingdom of Tang, I am afraid that no country can persist for more than a month under the joint attack of the two countries. And there is no doubt about the ambitions of Shang Kingdom and Tang Kingdom.
However, after all, the Kingdom of Shang focuses on industry and commerce and pays attention to reputation. This is the weakness of the Kingdom of Shang. That is because of the emphasis on reputation, at least the Kingdom of Shang will not entrap allies openly!
Under such circumstances, Chen believes that we should turn to the Shang Kingdom and obtain enough resources from the Shang Kingdom, and then we use these resources to expand the territory.
Similarly, since the Shang Kingdom cannot be blocked by a strong block, why don't we think about it from a different angle, and let the hard ones come to the soft ones. Although we say that we have fallen to the Shang Kingdom, it is not an obstacle that hinders the continued expansion of the Shang Kingdom.
And because we have completely fallen to the Kingdom of Shang, the Kingdom of Shang can't send troops to attack us for no reason, otherwise the reputation of the Kingdom of Shang will be completely shattered. This was an unacceptable consequence for the Kingdom of Shang.
One of the important reasons why Shang Kingdom is developing so fast now is that Shang Kingdom attaches great importance to reputation. Because of its good reputation, the Kingdom of Shang has what it is today.
But everything has two sides; reputation itself is the biggest weakness of Shang Kingdom. Therefore, we have turned to the Shang Kingdom in an all-round way. On the surface, it seems that we have softened, but in fact, this is a kind of soft confrontation.
Taking advantage of Shang Kingdom's emphasis on reputation, in turn restrains the pace of Shang Kingdom's development. Let the Shang Kingdom be trapped in a cocoon! "
There was no sound in the hall, and after a while, applause gradually came. In the end, even the Emperor Shao clapped his hands in agreement. "Okay, let's do this. Gongsun Jue, you did a good job in this matter. Give me a 'Life-saving Golden Pill', which can be used to save lives; give me a 'During Er Golden Pill', to assist in cultivation."
The life-saving golden pill is used to save lives when dying. Du'er Jindan is used to treat insanity. The two kinds of golden elixirs are treasures that cannot be found, and only one empire can refine this kind of elixir.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gongsun Jue took the golden elixir and stepped aside.
Emperor Shao looked at him and thought, "Prime Minister, the missions from Shang Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom will arrive tomorrow morning, and you will be responsible for the whole process. The strategy will follow Gongsun Jue's just now. Taiwei and Taishi will assist you .
If there is any problem, you can negotiate and deal with it. "
…………
This is true for Shao Guo, and it is also true for Xing Guo.
The strength of the Kingdom of Shang made the surrounding countries gradually understand that strong obstruction could no longer stop the development of the Kingdom of Shang.
Since tough blocking is not enough, then change the strategy, and if the hard ones are not enough, then be soft. Li Xian/Shang Guoguo, we are all your younger brothers, we will listen to everything you say, don't hit us anymore! Even if we have gone too far in some places, such as "accidentally" blocking your development path, you have to accept it silently!
Well, Li Xian didn't know this yet. Xu Ren, Yan Ze'an, and Li Yuanming all saw this change, but they couldn't guard against soft knives. We can only take one step at a time.
And at this time, when Shao Guo and Xing Guo were about to deal with the Shang Kingdom with soft knives, Li Xian was receiving representatives from Chen Guo and Jin Guo, who were calling for help!
Let's talk about Chen Guo first, but now he can't stop Cai Guo's attack! After more than ten days of respite, Emperor Cai Guo actually won the support of Zheng Guo in the north.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Emperor Cai's reason is: a cowardly Chen State cannot become a barrier for Zheng State, blocking the Shang Kingdom for Zheng State. Zheng Guo needs a stronger ally.
Needless to say, after thinking about it, Emperor Zheng made the "correct" decision to support Cai.
Now, Cai Guo has the support of Zheng Guo, and Chen Guo finally can't stop it. Don't forget, Cai Guo itself has powerful arms technology, and the emperor Cai Guo has built tens of millions of his people into the "Sword of the Son of Heaven", which is even more invincible.
Seeing that only 40% of the land was left, Chen Guo finally had to ask Shang Kingdom for help. The reason why Chen Guo asked for help is also very clear-Cai Guo has hatred for the Shang Kingdom, and Cai Guo cannot be made stronger!
As for the state of Jin, it was even worse.
