Chapter 2952
Xuefang didn't shy away from it either: "The fact that the two of them appeared together at the top of Yangdu City is enough to prove it."
"Look, you understand it, so you still want to fight?"
"Fight? My sister and I are different. After all, we are behind the Chu State. When the Wujiang River collapses, my sister will be rushed to first. With you blocking me, the flood will not be able to reach my sister for the time being. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to grab more benefits? It is also a good idea. The capital of the future. This world is so chaotic. No one knows what it will be like tomorrow. I think my family said it well, eat as much as you can, otherwise you will regret it when you are hungry. "
Yu Qingcheng looked at her: "Huh? You are sincere."
"In front of my sister, who is the wisest person in Southern Chu, there is absolutely no need for me to be so mysterious and mean-spirited as to make people laugh."
"It seems that the ambition of the Dian King is not small. He originally said that seizing some healthy people and some wealth would be enough, but now he has obtained the territory of two states. It seems that he is not satisfied. Do you want to cross our great Chu and establish a land outside the country? ?”
Yu Qingcheng said with a smile, but the tone of her words was obviously sharp, 50% dissatisfied and 10% wary.
Yukifang's answer surprised her. She didn't expect it to be so direct.
"yes."
One word came out of his mouth, and Yu Qingcheng's beautiful eyebrows gradually rose, and a cold light began to flash in his eyes.
"However, the purpose is different from what my sister imagined."
"Oh? Tell me." Yu Qingcheng's voice became a little cold.
"Qin State."
Xuefang turned to look at the map hanging on the wall and slowly said two words.
Yu Qingcheng's expression changed, as if he realized something: "He never gave up?"
Xuefang turned around and looked at her seriously: "My homeland, the place of my ancestors, what if I am my sister?"
Yu Qingcheng's eyes flashed slightly, and his expression became a little softer.
"...What exactly does King Dian want?"
"A piece of land outside the country has become a springboard, or a transit station, for my king to send troops to the Qin Dynasty."
Yu Qingcheng suddenly took a breath of air: "You want to take action against Da Qin? Has the King of Dian thought clearly that where Ying Jiang is, the most powerful country in the world, the Dian Kingdom, does not have such a good appetite."
"I have the appetite, but there are many conditions missing, and this is undoubtedly one of them. My sister holds the position of Chu State Master, and she should have a clear understanding of the world's pattern. If my king looks far to the northwest, this place is indispensable."
Yu Qingcheng fell into deep thought.
Indeed, if Ying Wuming plans to conquer the Qin Dynasty, there are no more than three ways.
The first road goes directly through Chu State. Whether it is to open it or borrow it, Yu Qingcheng cannot agree to it.
The second route is to go around the Western Region, just like the route he took to fight the empress after his identity was revealed. However, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and it is desolate and rugged. When a large army travels, it is impossible to transport grain, grass and baggage. It is even difficult to cross the mountains and plateaus.
Yu Qingcheng had never thought about the third way, but after Xuefang proposed it, he found that it was indeed a good way.
If it takes shape, it is indeed possible to enter Daqin.
If Ying Wuming advances, he can send troops from the northwest of the Dian Kingdom, march along the border of the Chu Kingdom, and then station in this area for repairs. The food, grass and baggage can also take the same route. If he retreats, he can still shrink back to Yunnan as long as he gives up the land outside the country. The country protects itself.
The only problem with this road is that it passes through the northwest border of Chu State. But Yu Qingcheng felt that he didn't mind letting the other party pass through the northwest border. After all, it was just the edge of Chu State. Although it was within the border, there was not much population gathering. Most of them were rural villagers. It was difficult to affect Chu State. What's more, once the Dian King looks for trouble, he can directly cut off this road and cut him off from head to tail.
In fact, once the Dian King adopted this path, it would be equivalent to handing his lifeline to the Chu State.
But is the King of Dian so confident about Chu? Thinking back to what he had seen, Ying Wuming was a man of great talent and strategy, and he would never be able to manipulate others so easily. So, is it because he is extremely attached to Da Qin?
Seeing Yu Qingcheng's eyes changing, obviously thinking about many things, Xuefang did not disturb him and just drank tea and sat quietly alone.
"My question, do you know what it is?"
Seeing Yu Qingcheng speak, Xue Fang put down the tea cup: "Of course I know, I can't figure it out."
"Smart, yes, I can't figure it out."
Xue Fang smiled slightly: "The truth is actually very simple. The heart of my king has always been in Qin. Can the powerful and prosperous Western Qin be compared to the barbaric wilderness of the Dian Kingdom? I personally made a guess. Sister, you don't need to take it seriously. Let's think about it. That’s it.”
"you say."
Xue Fang said: "If I were the king, I would definitely take back my own country, and I would definitely fight. Then, as my sister said, I definitely can't do it on my own, but what if Dian and Chu unite? This hope is great. ”
"Why should I join forces with you?" Yu Qingcheng questioned.
"Because..." Xue Fang narrowed his eyes slightly: "I said, if I were the King of Dian, as long as I win the Qin Dynasty, how about giving the Dian Kingdom... to the Chu Kingdom?"
Yu Qingcheng was suddenly startled: "What did you say?"
Xuefang said slowly: "It's just a personal thought. The Dian Kingdom is thousands of miles away from the Qin Dynasty. It's really impossible to rule two places, let alone my sister's powerful country in the middle. It's better to use this as a condition in exchange for the Chu Alliance. From then on, Dian Kingdom The king can rest assured that once Da Qin is captured, Dian will return to Chu."
Yu Qingcheng's eyes fluctuated violently. She knew how much the Chu State cared about Southern Xinjiang. She knew best how many generations of Chu kings there had been, especially Xiang Chen. He had lofty aspirations and dreamed of dominating the world, but something happened behind his back. Dian is simply unbearable. If Dian and Chu were unified, how powerful and secure the Chu State would be.
Undoubtedly, this statement made her heart pound. Although Xue Fang said it was his own idea, in Yu Qingcheng's view, this was what the Dian King meant and his test. But, can you believe it?
Although it is true that there are thousands of mountains and rivers between Yunnan and Qin, and it is true that they are separated by the Chu State, and it is normally extremely difficult to rule, can Ying Wuming really be willing to give up the territory he worked so hard to conquer? Even if he is willing to give up, how to execute it? And who knows whether he will go back on his word, and how to ensure it?
"The Qin Dynasty is too strong and will be too difficult to defeat, and once it succeeds, it will be riddled with holes. At that time, my king will work hard to conquer it, and there will be no way or spare power to divide and conquer the two places. This is one of them."
Xue Fang didn't panic and actually started to answer Yu Qingcheng's questions proactively.
"There is no free lunch in the world. If you don't abandon the Dian Kingdom, you can't get the support of Chu, and you can't defeat the Qin Dynasty. In my king's heart, the Dian Kingdom is really nothing compared to the Great Qin. This is the second one."
After glancing at Yu Qingcheng who had not yet responded, she continued.
"The two places are thousands of miles apart. In terms of political power, it is difficult to govern, and in terms of military strength, it is impossible to concentrate. If my sister attacks the Dian Kingdom, I am afraid it will be difficult to defend it. These are the three reasons."
Yu Qingcheng had already thought of the first two points, especially the importance of Qin to Ying Wuming, which was really not comparable to that of Dian Kingdom. She admitted, but she still had doubts. And this third point is real.
