"His Royal Highness King Zhao really understands your thoughts. From today on, I, Nangong Yi, am willing to go through fire and water for His Highness King Zhao, without any hesitation."
Zhao Rui bent down slightly and leaned forward in front of Nangong Yi.
"If you go out, the princes will be afraid, and if you are safe, the world will rest! This is the dream of every politician. I can help you realize this dream, but you must always be my minister, the great merchant."
Nangong Yi's eyes flashed with burning light: "I swear, if one day I betray Dashang and His Highness King Zhao, I will be struck by five thunderbolts and I will not die a good death."
Zhao Rui didn't say anything more, just turned and walked towards the map next to him.
"In other words, Dashang and Liang are now allies. If this is the case, then I have to lead the army south to capture a few Xishu cities as a show! I just don't know what Master Nangong's next plan is?"
"Diplomatic relations!" Nangong Yi raised his hand and pointed to the capital of Western Shu: "I am willing to visit the capital of Western Shu again and ask them to form an alliance with our great merchants and cede the land west of Hexi to us!"
Zhao Rui was suddenly startled. The most difficult thing in diplomatic relations is double-sided diplomatic relations. If you are not careful, not only will it not succeed, but it will also unite the two vassal states that have diplomatic relations at the same time.
By that time, not only will the great merchants not be able to take over the land west of Hexi, but they will give the two countries an excuse. They will even use this as a reason to gather all the princes from the world to attack the great merchants.
"Are you really sure?" Zhao Rui was also a little unsure.
Xishu and Liang were both powerful countries, comparable to small countries like Bei Yan and Bei Zhao.
The combined armies of the two countries alone number more than two million.
With Dashang’s current national strength, one against two might not necessarily win!
Nangong Yi looked confident.
"As long as King Zhao can capture several cities in the northern border of Western Shu with the power of thunder, my subordinates will have more confidence to speak in the capital of Western Shu! If possible, I hope King Zhao can conquer the entire Yongliang
Take all the land."
Zhao Rui didn't say anything more, but handed his Zhao Wang Seal to Nangong Yi.
"I am now quite famous among the princes in the world. If you are in danger in Western Shu, this royal seal can save your life."
After Nangong Yi thanked Zhao Rui, she pointed to the barracks next door.
"Those envoys from the Liang State have been persuaded by me to join the Great Shang Dynasty as ministers. I also hope that His Highness King Zhao can give them face and arrange a position for them."
Zhao Rui was slightly surprised. Nangong Yi was really a great talent in diplomatic relations. He made a trip to the capital of Liang State and not only completed the task, but also brought back several talents.
"Master Nangong, you have completely become enemies with Liang Guo. Aren't you afraid that Liang Guo will cause trouble for you?"
Nangong Yi looked unconcerned.
"The next step for Dashang is to capture Luo City, and the next step is to deal with Liang Guo comprehensively, and even destroy him! With Dashang as my backing, I am naturally not afraid."
Zhao Rui patted Nangong Yi on the shoulder: "Then you set off now and try to walk as slowly as possible on the road. By the time you arrive at the capital of the Western Shu Kingdom, the land of Yongliang is already in my hands."
Nangong Yi said nothing more and turned around to leave.
But when he left, Zhao Rui immediately ordered Batoru to follow him.
Nangong Yi had just united with Liang to attack Hexi, and now he had gone to the capital of Western Shu. It was still somewhat dangerous.
Batoru followed him, and Zhao Rui felt relieved.
Subsequently, Zhao Rui ordered a full-scale attack on Xishu!
The Battle of Hexi quickly attracted the attention of princes all over the world, and neighboring princely states sent spies to the Hexi battlefield to inquire about the situation.
This place is a strategically important place, and everyone wants to know whose family it will finally belong to?
