Chapter 459 Influence
The Zhenguo leader rose and unified the areas west of Baihu Pass and west of Xilin Pass. Although this kind of news was blocked by the Zhenguo leader, two years would be enough for other princes in the Jiuzhou continent to get the news.
The first person to get the news was the princes and lords near Xilin Pass and Baihu Pass. These princes and lords were captured at Baihu Pass and Xilin Pass. When they changed their masters, they began to inquire about the situation here.
When he learned that the Zhen Kingdom was in charge of the Baihu Pass and the areas west of Xilin Pass, countless princes and lords were suddenly surprised.
During the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Zheng received the news that the Zhenguo leader unified the Baihu Pass and west of Xilin Pass, and immediately said furiously: "This Zhenguo leader is ambitious and dares to destroy so many vassal states. It is simply crazy. We must not let him go."
Qin Zheng was very unhappy about the expansion of Zhenguo Leader without any scruples.
Watching Zhen Guozhen continue to expand and become stronger, Qin Zheng was envious and jealous.
If the Great Qin Dynasty could expand without any scruples, at this time, the Great Qin Dynasty might have been so powerful that it could unify the Jiuzhou Continent. Unfortunately, the Great Qin Dynasty is not far from the core Central Plains of the Jiuzhou Continent, and this is the essence of the Jiuzhou Continent.
It is precisely this place where the essence of Jiuzhou Continent is, so the strongest princes and lords are all here. There are two powerful enemies next to the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Han Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty.
Whether it is the Great Han Dynasty or the Great Chu Dynasty, its strength is very strong. Each of them has military strength, which is not weaker than that of the Great Qin Dynasty, making it impossible for the Great Qin Dynasty to expand.
At this time, I got the news and knew that the Zhenguo leader of the same clan had expanded without any scruples and successfully expanded. How could Qin Zheng not envy, jealousy and hatred?
It was precisely because of this that he naturally could not let Zhenguo win, so he summoned the ministers to discuss how to deal with the massive expansion of Zhenguo.
"We must not allow Zhenguo to expand without any scruples. We must punish him, otherwise, Zhenguo's expansion without any scruples will sooner or later unify the Jiuzhou continent."
Qin Minister Lu Baili said to Qin Zheng.
If the Zhenguo Leadership expands like this, they will remain indifferent, and the Zhenguo Leadership will continue to expand without any scruples. At that time, the Zhenguo Leadership will continue to grow stronger, and sooner or later, the strength will reach the level of destroying all their vassal states and unifying the Jiuzhou Continent.
No princes would like to see this consequence, so they had to punish Zhenguo.
"It's just that Zhenguo is far away from us, so it's probably a bit difficult to punish him."
Although Qin Zheng agreed with Lu Baili's statement, he also knew that it was difficult to punish the Zhenguo leader. Not to mention the distance between them and the Zhenguo leader, even if there were countless princes between them, these princes would definitely not allow the Qin army to pass.
As Qin was powerful, these princes were afraid that the Qin army would destroy them by the way to go to war, so they naturally did not dare to let the Qin army pass easily.
Otherwise, with his malice towards the Zhenguo Leader, he would have sent troops long ago.
Lu Baili said: "If only our Great Qin Dynasty sent troops, it would not only not reach the level of supporting Zhenguo, but it would be difficult for a large army to kill Zhenguo. However, if it unites with other vassal states, it might not be impossible."
"you mean?"
Qin Zheng understood the meaning of Lu Baili's words and thoughtful.
Lu Baili said: "The rise of Zhen Kingdom is not only unwilling to see our Great Qin Dynasty, but even other vassal states do not want to see it. Therefore, as long as someone takes the lead, I believe that other vassal states will definitely send troops with the flow.
At that time, it will be easy to destroy Zhenguo together with many coalition forces of the vassal state."
"Union with other princes!"
Qin Zheng was in a little embarrassed. The Qin Dynasty was one of the most powerful vassal states among the many vassal states. He never thought of uniting with others, and he was going to deal with other vassal states together.
If this is the case, wouldn’t Qin Zheng admit that the Qin Dynasty is not as good as Zhen Guo and has to unite other vassal states to deal with Zhen Guo territory? If that is the case, wouldn’t Qin Zheng be embarrassed?
Moreover, the Zhenguo leader and the Qin Dynasty are of the same clan. No matter what, they are half of their own people. If they join forces with other vassal states to send troops, wouldn’t it be a joke to join forces with outsiders to deal with their family members?
However, when Qin Zheng felt uncomfortable when he thought of the continuous rise of Zhenguo Leadership.
Qin Zheng said: "United can be, but our Great Qin Dynasty cannot be the leader."
After careful consideration, Qin Zheng decided to join forces with other vassal states to deal with Zhenguo Territory, but although he was preparing to join forces with other vassal states to deal with Zhenguo Territory, the Qin Dynasty would never be the leader.
There are three major disadvantages to becoming a leader.
The first disadvantage is that if you become the leader, you will be laughed at by others. Everyone knows that the Great Qin Dynasty and the Zhenguo Leader are of the same clan. If the Great Qin Dynasty becomes the leader in dealing with the Zhenguo Leader, how do other vassals view the Great Qin Dynasty?
The Great Qin Dynasty even dealt with its own sect. Such an existence is trustworthy as an ally. At that time, other vassal states are likely to be prepared for the Great Qin Dynasty.
The second disadvantage is that once the Great Qin Dynasty takes the lead, because of the same clan as Zhen Kingdom, other vassal states may not trust the Great Qin Dynasty. At that time, there will be much fewer vassal states coming to join the alliance.
With fewer princes in the alliance, the troops will naturally be less. If the troops are fewer, the difficulty will increase when Qin Zheng doesn't want to see it.
The third disadvantage is that the rafters that stand out will rot first and become the leader, and they will be too popular. At that time, if the leader of Zhenguo is destroyed, the Qin Dynasty will definitely become the target of attack by other vassal states.
At that time, the Qin Dynasty faces the threat of the coalition of princes and will be in danger of destruction.
As the prime minister, Lu Baili thought about what Qin Zheng meant, and then he understood.
So Lu Baili sent people to incite other powerful vassal states to impose sanctions on Zhen State.
In order to occupy the great righteousness, Lu Baili sent a detailed work to ask the Zhou emperor to issue an order and gather allied forces to punish Zhen Guoling.
In this regard, the Zhou emperor was actually very willing. Although the prestige of the Zhou emperor in the Jiuzhou Continent had dropped to the lowest point at this time, he was still the nominal co-governor of the Jiuzhou Continent.
Therefore, the will of the Zhou emperor still had great appeal. For the Zhou emperor, the expansion of the Zhenguo Ling was a provocation to the Zhou Empire. Even if the Zhou Empire was extremely weak at this time, if the Zhenguo Ling was not punished, then other princes would follow the example, which would be fatal to the Zhou Empire.
Therefore, the detailed work sent by Lu Baili, just a little point, the Zhou emperor did not hesitate and issued an order for the princes to gather troops, preparing to impose sanctions on the Zhenguo leader.
