"Can I not accept it? In this situation, that guy is sure of me and knows that I have to agree!"
Wu Lie said bitterly, even though he knew that the other party had evil intentions, he had no temper at all towards him.
First of all, he currently has very few allies left in the Seven Kingdoms, and Pei Kingdom cannot afford to lose anything.
Then Chen Yi said that if the Lan State failed, the Pei State might surrender to Prince Yanyang if it couldn't hold on. On the surface, he was explaining their current situation, but in fact, he was threatening him!
If you don't give him benefits and give him the Lan Kingdom, the Pei Kingdom will rebel at any time!
Having sensed the deep meaning in these words, would he still dare to refuse the other party's proposal?
Secondly, although the other party has evil intentions, he has to admit that his plan can indeed reverse the current situation.
In the understanding of the Seven Kingdoms, Pei State is now under the control of Wu Lie. If Pei State sends troops to Lan State, it will be considered as a counterattack against Prince Yanyang and Qiankun Society.
As long as the Pei Kingdom wins, it will not only prevent the Yanyang forces from infiltrating the Lan Kingdom, but it will also serve as a warning to other countries, so that those on the wall will not dare to act rashly again!

Pei Guo's sending troops has many benefits for him. He has invested too much effort in Dasheng's battle for the throne. He cannot give up such a good opportunity just because he doesn't want others to benefit!
Considering the power of the Chen clan, he couldn't refuse.
Even if he knew it was a trap, he still had to jump out of it!
"Go to Peidu in person and tell Chen Yi that I agree with his plan, but there are conditions."
"After the Pei army successfully invades the Lan Kingdom, the territory they occupy can be handed over to the Pei Kingdom. I guarantee that Dasheng will not be held accountable afterwards. However, I must decide on the new Lan King. After the incident is completed, Pei The country must also withdraw its troops!”
Wu Lie carefully warned Commander Crow and made his conditions clear.
A horse cannot run fast if it is not given grass to eat. He knew what Chen Yi wanted, so just give it to him.
But the control of the Lan Kingdom must be in his hands. He already has his favorite candidate for the Lan King. All Pei Guo has to do is to help his person to rise to power from the outside.
As long as his appointed King Lan comes to power, the Lan Kingdom will still be under his control as before, and he will still have huge room for mediation in the Seven Kingdoms!
Once the situation in the Seven Kingdoms is stabilized, he can concentrate on dealing with the complex situation in the Shengyang Realm. Now that he has the upper hand, he believes that he has a good chance of winning!
"My subordinate understands, let's go now."
After receiving Wu Lie's order, Commander Crow headed to Pei Kingdom again as quickly as possible.
In fact, letters from both sides do not necessarily require him to come in person, as there are more convenient ways to contact him, but the matter is so important that he can go and make it clear in person, so that Ulie can rest assured.
After General Crow left, Wu Lie immediately wrote to the Lan State and asked his people to prepare in advance so that he could cooperate with Pei State internally and externally.
A war requires a lot of preparations. He can create a very favorable environment for Pei Guo, but how much territory Pei Guo can win depends on the ability of that person!
…
Commander Crow came to Peidu again, but only stayed for about half a day before leaving in a hurry.
After he left, Gu Chen immediately met with Liu Yan and Tang Xuance and informed him and Wu Lie of their plans.
When he learned that Pei State was going to take the initiative to send troops to Lan State, Tang Xuance was extremely shocked and worried.
When Gu Chen told him the specific plan, Tang Xuance's mood quickly changed to excitement and expectation.
"With the cooperation between the inside and outside of Lan Country, our chances of winning will be great!"
Tang Xuance was so impressed by the man in front of him that he finally understood why Gu Chen didn't let him evacuate the border garrison before, but instead sent more troops. It turned out that he had already had thoughts about the Lan Kingdom.
Because the army has not withdrawn from the border, the Lan Kingdom naturally has no suspicion, and the Pei Kingdom can launch a surprise attack.
All the early supplies of food, grass and baggage have been prepared. Taking advantage of the fact that the Lan Kingdom is now in disarray, and with the cooperation of Prince Wulie's people, the Pei Kingdom is almost guaranteed to win!
"Thirty years ago, the Lan Kingdom took away the territory of the three counties of the Pei Kingdom, which was always regarded as a great shame and humiliation by the late king. I did not expect that under my leadership, I would have the opportunity to regain the territory of the Pei Kingdom."
Liu Yan was also very excited and said with emotion, knowing that the current situation was hard-won.
"Do you just want to take back the lost territory of the three counties? Don't you want more, don't you want to take over the entire Lan Kingdom?"
Gu Chen's words were shocking, and Tang Xuance next to him was startled.
"Mr. Chen, there are twenty-four counties in the Lan Kingdom. With the strength of our Pei Kingdom, we can only capture ten counties at most despite our best efforts. It is difficult to annex the Lan Kingdom."
Tang Xuance quickly reminded him, fearing that Gu Chen would move too fast.
War between countries is easy to win, but not easy to occupy.
Winning the war may only require a small army, but successfully occupying and digesting it requires a lot of manpower, material resources and energy.
Pei Guo has always been wealthy, so he dared to boldly imagine taking over ten counties, but more was absolutely impossible.
If Pei State invests too much manpower and material resources into Lan State, it will threaten its own foundation.
The best way is to fight slowly and digest as much territory as possible from the Lan Kingdom first. This is the real benefit.
Destroying the Lan Kingdom sounds domineering, but the price paid would be too high, and besides, Dasheng wouldn't allow it.
"It's just an idea. I hope King Pei and Master Tang can think as far ahead as possible and don't just focus on the small immediate interests."
Gu Chen explained with a smile and added, "Of course, Mr. Tang is an expert in this aspect of fighting. I will ask for more advice in the future."
Tang Xuance breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It seemed that Gu Chen was still very rational.
Think about it, if you can see the opportunity to attack the Lan Kingdom so far in advance, how could such a person not think carefully?
Liu Yan and Tang Xuance stayed in Luoshui Palace for a long time, and they did not leave together until the specific plan to send troops was finalized.
The two of them were excited when they left. Pei Guo had been suppressed for too long by the threat of Lan Guo, and now he finally had a chance to avoid future troubles!
Not long after the two left, the Clay Bodhisattva came to Gu Chen.
"Boss, there is news from Zeguo."
Ni Bodhisattva said and handed a letter to Gu Chen.
He is now fully responsible for the contact between Luoshui Palace and the outside world, and even the information collected by Peiguo's intelligence agency will pass through his hands.
Gu Chen's eyes lit up, the news from Zeguo came a bit slowly.
He took the letter and opened it to check, and found that the letter was written by the ancestor of the wild fox himself.
Just like the situation in other kingdoms, Ye Fox King City was also attacked.
It's just that the ancestor of Yehu noticed it in advance and killed the Qiankun Society's killer in time, so everything went smoothly and there wasn't much commotion.
The ancestor of Yehu also specifically thanked Gu Chen in the letter, saying that it was because Gu Chen had quietly entered his lair before that he had strengthened his defenses, otherwise he might not have been able to discover the killer of the Qiankun Society.
In addition, Yehu Ancestor also promised again in the letter to advance and retreat with Pei State, which was quite intended to please Gu Chen.
Gu Chen carefully read the contents of the letter, thoughtfully, and then burned the letter on the spot.
