The surrender ceremony was held in Weichuan City. On the day after the ceremony, the young minister had not yet left. The city lord's palace was where the palace was located. The young minister was sitting in the back garden. There were no attendants or guards around him. His posture was very upright and his expression was
It was very respectful, because a few feet away from the opposite side, sitting a charming and enchanting beauty, she was none other than Sect Master Meng Yingqiu.
Mingsha's description, voice, and breath all seem to have magical powers that can arouse the most impulsive desires deep in the body and mind. In other words, any secret desires in the heart seem to be difficult to hide in front of her. Shaowu lowered his eyes.
As if looking at the tip of his nose, he just listened to his fate and said: "During the national celebration, why does Ba Jun look sad? Is he remembering General Wei Mang?"
The Shaowu sighed: "I thought that Old General Wei Mang would live a long life, but suddenly I heard the news of his death. He probably wanted to break through to Dacheng cultivation but failed...and I have no hope of breaking through in this life."
Great achievements in cultivation, let alone the attainment of immortality."
Ming Sha frowned and said: "Throughout the ages, there have been countless living beings. How many people have achieved immortality? Birth, old age, illness and death are normal in the human world. If you talk like this, do you want to live a good life? If you don't treat people well, what's the point?
What happens after death? Your cultivation level is not low, at least it is much stronger than your father, and you are also very lucky.
As long as you don't personally get involved in danger, you will be free from all diseases in your life, and it will be easy to live a long life, which is enough for you to complete your great ambitions. You are already the most outstanding Lord of Ba Yuan after the Salt Omen, and the achievements you have established,
Even your father can’t imagine what you have gained. If you still say such things, don’t be too greedy!”
Shaowu smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you, Holy Queen, for reminding me. I know what I have got and what I want. People in the world often get more, and the more they ask for, they have nothing or feel they have nothing to love.
A hungry person only wants a full meal; but a person who has the power of the world often wants to live forever and sit in the country forever.
Those who are deficient will suffer more, and those who have more will seek more. In the behavior of the world, what is not enough often makes up for the excess. When my father was still alive, he often sighed to me like this. As a king, you should understand it.
I have no wish for immortality, at least not now, nor did my father at that time. I inherit my father's legacy. What I want is to restore the unity of Ba Yuan and reestablish the legacy of Salt Omen. I also hope that future generations will pass it on to future generations.
In this country, all the people of Ba Yuan live in peace from generation to generation and are less likely to suffer the disasters of troubled times."
Mingsha: "When you left the mountain from Wufuqiu, you asked the master of Jiansha for advice on how to pacify Bayuan. Later, you brought Peng Keng to Mengyingqiu to see me. You asked about the same thing. The plan back then.
.The first step is to unify the three kingdoms of Bashi, Zheng, and Xiangshi. Now that you have completed this step, what are your next considerations?"
The young master leaned forward and said, "I originally planned to go to Meng Yingqiu to pay homage to the Holy Queen after the ceremony, but unexpectedly you came in person."
Ming Sha: "I expected that you would go to Meng Yingqiu to find me, so I came to see you to avoid trouble... After all, you are my husband after all. Do you need to be so polite when talking to me?
"
The young minister said respectfully: "The Holy Queen is the god of national sacrifices. The young minister dare not be disrespectful."
What is the concept of the God of National Sacrifice? It is a sacred existence like Taihao and Yanzhao. A national ceremony is held every year, and the monarch leads all the people to kneel down and offer sacrifices to him. In name, Mingsha is indeed the principal concubine of Shaowu.
However, despite the young minister's courage, he did not dare to reveal a hint of disrespect or even profanity. Not to mention his hands, he did not even touch the corners of Mingsha's clothes.
Mingsha smiled faintly: "Ba Yuan has not yet been unified, and I am not the god of national sacrifices. The title of Ba Jun is a bit premature."
Shao Wu: "Xiangshi and Zheng Shi have been pacified. The Shao Wu is about to ask the Holy Queen for advice. How to pacify the Silk Chamber and Fan Shi again?"
Mingsha looked at the young minister and sighed inexplicably for some reason. He shook his head slightly and said, "People in the world call me Mingsha. They all think that I know things like a god and kill people's lives with just my mouth. But they don't know that this is me.
Practice. Ba Jun must hope that I can tell you directly what you need to do to unify Ba Yuan, right?
It's a pity that I can't speak. Talking nonsense will harm my cultivation. Everything in the world can't be what you want, and it can't be what I see. I could foresee today's unification of the Three Kingdoms. Now it's hard to predict the next situation in Ba Yuan.
I can't directly give Ba Jun a conclusion. But Ba Jun has already spoken first and called me the God of National Sacrifice, so we can tell what his ambition is.
I'm not here to answer your questions today, but I want to ask you a few questions. The decisive battle is coming, and you don't have much time left, but at least you have been preparing for eight years. Next, you have to deal with Fan first
A choice must be made between the Shi State and the Silu State, but before that, how do you want to prevent these two countries from forming an alliance and attacking with a coalition of forces?"
Although Mingsha is asking a question, the question already contains a clear judgment, that is, Bashi Kingdom has continuously pacified Xiangshi with thunderous force, and after Zhengshi is left in ruins, the real large-scale decisive battle on Bayuan will come soon.
The collapse of the Xiangshi Kingdom and the Zhengshi Kingdom will shock the two countries the most, which will bring them a great sense of oppression and crisis. Instead of waiting for the young ministers to calm down, accumulate national strength and take the initiative to fight.
Come to the door, why not take the initiative to attack now? Facing the powerful Bashi Kingdom, the best choice is to form an alliance between the Silk Kingdom and the Fan Kingdom and gather their armies to attack together.
Even if this method cannot destroy the Bashi State, as long as it can inflict heavy damage to the Bashi State, occupy a piece of central land of Bashi Plain, and permanently weaken the national power of the Bashi State, it is also a strategic victory.
Although Shaowu pacified Xiangshi and Zhengshi quickly, it still took a long time to deal with the follow-up affairs and involved a lot of energy. The soldiers who were demobilized from the remnant territory of Xiangshi and returned home are still on the road and have not yet reached the destination.
Where is my hometown? And the soldiers who were sent home from the remnant territory of Zheng Shiguo had just set out not long ago.
This is a reserve force for the young ministers to be released to the people. When the whole country is mobilized, they can take up arms and form a large army. But at this time, they have just been demobilized and are on their way back to their hometowns.
It is difficult to regroup. The elite field military formations in the country are currently concentrated in the remote Yingzhuling area, and there is insufficient mobility behind the border.
If anyone wants to attack Bashi Kingdom, now is the best opportunity. The young minister is not unprepared for this. Although he mobilized troops and generals in the country some time ago, there are still a lot of customs defense troops stationed at the borders of Bashi and Fanshi.
Didn't move at all.
Listening to what Mingsha said, the young minister asked back: "Boshi and Fanshi are attacking from both sides? It's not like this has never happened before! Back then, Xuanyuan led the Bai'e clan to repel the Bolshi and Fanshi kingdoms.
They are invading one after another. Isn’t it possible that the Bashi Kingdom can’t fight them off now?”
Mingsha shook his head slightly again and said: "These are two different things! But since you mentioned this past event, you should not be too confident and think that the Bashi Kingdom will not be defeated if it is strong. Xuanyuan leads the Bai'e clan
People can still defeat the armies of the two countries, which shows how unpredictable the world is, so it is entirely possible for the Silk Chamber and the Fan Chamber to defeat you."
The battle that Xuanyuan commanded back then was completely different from the situation that Shaowu is in today. The two countries, Silk Chamber and Fan Chamber of Commerce, not only underestimated the enemy, but also did not fight as a whole nation, nor did they attack by a coalition. They only used standing army formations, each to attack itself.
The city outline within the country gave Xuanyuan the opportunity to calmly accept the challenge.
When the military formation of the Silk Kingdom came, Xuanyuan used Yilang City in the territory of the Fanshi Kingdom as his rear, and mobilized his troops to defeat the enemy; when the military formation of the Fanshi Kingdom came, Xuanyuan used Bincheng in the Silk Kingdom
As the rear, he led his army to defeat them. This was a battle on the territory of the Bai'es, and they only aimed to defeat the enemies coming from afar, and did not counterattack the two countries.
But now the Silk Kingdom and the Fanshi Kingdom are likely to form an alliance and attack with all the country's forces. Shaowu can't just repel them, his ultimate goal is to counterattack and pacify these two countries. Xuanyuan leads the Bai'e clan.
With the previous battle examples, we should not take things lightly. This just shows that anything can happen on the battlefield.
So the next question is, does Shaowu want to deal with Bashi State or Fanshi State first? Even if Bashi State’s national power is unprecedentedly strong, it should try to avoid a decisive battle with both countries at the same time. But no matter who Shaowu deals with first, he must first
Try to avoid the two countries from forming an alliance and jointly attacking Bashi. Mingsha did not provide any clever ideas to the young minister. She only asked the young minister what she wanted to do.
The young minister asked again: "Holy Queen, have you ever seen me raise an unjust division and have you not believe anything? I have just pacified the prime minister's room, and the Zheng family is in ruins. I have granted amnesty to the world and rested with the people, like a silk room. Fan
If there is no army to invade, why should I take the initiative to attack? People in the country praise me as a wise and benevolent king. I am neither warlike nor murderous.
As the Holy Queen said, now is a good opportunity for the other side to attack the Bashi Kingdom, so I am not the one who should be anxious. Regardless of whether the Fan Kingdom will raise troops or not, Bo Rang definitely wants to do it, and maybe he has sent an envoy there
Fandu is discussing the alliance. The envoy I sent has gone to Fandu a few months ago; when I return to Batu, the envoy should also come back with news."
Shaowu Ke never passively waits for something to happen, and has already made various preparations. When he decided to take action against the remaining situation of Zheng Shiguo, he sent an envoy to Fanshiguo. The envoy's task was very important.
It's simple, just to persuade Fan Jun not to form an alliance with the Silk Kingdom. As long as Fan Jun agrees to this condition, everything else will be easy to discuss.
The chief minister had long expected that Bo Rang would not be able to watch the Bashi Kingdom continue to expand, and would never sit back and wait for death. He would definitely take action when the time came, and he would definitely form an alliance with the Fanshi Kingdom before taking action. The chief minister has sent an envoy.
Fan Du promised various benefits to Fan Jun.
If Fan Jun is short-sighted and refuses to form an alliance with the Silk Kingdom, it is of course the best result. Even if it fails to prevent the two countries from forming an alliance in the end, then the next best thing is to take a step back, and Shaowu can still be considered as interfering in the matter, which can have an effect.
The delaying effect made the alliance between the two countries not so smooth.
If Fan Jun was a little selfish and saw that the young minister had brought so many benefits, he might make more demands from the Silk Kingdom, which would take a lot of time. (~^~)
