He Ran took out Shi Lang's letter and handed it to Xiao Xiao: "Zhao Kun is finished."
Xiao Xiao frowned, unfolded the letter and read it carefully. After reading it, he wondered: "Why does the State of Lin want to help the State of Zhao?"
He Ran sighed: "Zhao Kun and Xiping didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly send troops from behind and were caught off guard. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been defeated so miserably. The emperor was not willing to be lonely. In recent years, as his strength has increased,
Da Zeng, finally unable to hold back, it is obvious that Zhao Guoxu persuaded him with a huge profit. It can also be seen that due to Mo Ju's loss of power, Kang State's control over Lin State was not as good as before. It may also be Zhao Min's bribery
It was Ju Ran and his group who allowed the State of Lin to help the State of Zhao."
"No wonder Zhao Guo dared to invest a large number of troops to help Xin Yan. It turns out that his worries have been solved."
He Ran nodded and said: "That's right. If Lin State joins Zhao and leaves the two countries to fight against Xiping's array, then the west of Zhao State will be considered stable. The internal strife in Kang in the north will no longer be a concern. Zhao State can deal with us with all its strength.
With Shunguo."
"You joked about moving the capital last time, and I think it will come true this time. I think it would be better to move the capital to Pingcheng."
He Ran smiled slyly and said: "What I said that day was not a joke. It was an emergency strategy that I had planned a long time ago. Once the royal city is in danger, I will use this golden cicada's escape strategy to use the Bell Ringing City as a bait. I followed this strategy.
Tokiro said that."
Xiao Xiao spat: "No wonder you said it so seriously at the time. It turned out that you had planned it for a long time and deceived me so hard!"
He Ran smiled and said: "I just used this method to report my inner plan to King Ming. The word 'deceive' is not allowed."
Xiao Xiao glared at him angrily, and then said worriedly: "Zhao State finally got out of danger, now it's our turn to be in trouble."
He Ran put away his smile and said: "Zhao Min needs to regain his strength. I don't think he has the ability to use troops against us so soon. When King Fan reorganizes the grassland, and we join forces with Fan Bang, there is no chance of winning."
Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, Shunguo will be more stable. Our two sides are evenly matched, and no one dares to easily attack Shunguo."
He Ran tapped a few cases with his hand and said: "Not necessarily. It depends on whether they understand the current affairs. If they try to force King Fan to return to the army by attacking Geqiong City or cutting off the way back, then we will be fine.
After a battle with them, they were all destroyed in one fell swoop and they all took advantage of the situation to attack Shun. I have asked Shilang to secretly prepare to attack Shun. If we don’t fight this battle, it will be fine. Once we fight, we must do it cleanly and make Zhao Guo want to
It’s too late to cause trouble.”
Xiao Xiao asked: "Is there anything strange happening over there?"
He Ran shook his head, "Not yet, I asked Hongkong'er to add some more spies."
Xiao Xiao glanced at the geographical map, and there was a look of disgust in his eyes, "It really makes people unable to rest for a moment, and they are beaten and killed."
He Ran laughed and said: "You Zhanfeng is actually tired of fighting?"
Xiao Xiao snorted and said, "Do you think I was willing to fight before? Who would want to live this kind of life if I wasn't forced to do anything?"
He Ran waved his hand and said: "Don't be too arbitrary in what you say. Some people like to fight, such as those ambitious generals. Only by fighting can they be promoted quickly. For their own selfish interests, these people even do not hesitate to provoke their masters into trouble.
fighting."
"This kind of thing does happen, but there are not many generals who can stir up trouble. In that case, you must have power comparable to yours now."
"Well, most of the culprits of war troubles are those ambitious monarchs. They want to strike first at countries that pose a threat to them, and they wantonly annex small countries that are not a threat to them."
"It seems that only when the world is unified can we live a stable life." Xiao Xiao looked dull.
He Ran talked eloquently: "If we are separated for a long time, we will unite, and if we are united for a long time, we will be divided. Let's not talk about the distance. Didn't the Li Dynasty once rule the world? Now it is not in war again? Since the first war in ancient times, people have put themselves in a position where they are riding a tiger.
Let’s take the current situation as an example. If Xiping cannot destroy Zhao, Zhao will destroy Xiping after recovering its strength. Zhao cannot destroy us. After we become stronger, we will think of attacking Zhao. I
This is true for all, so even a weak country does not dare to reduce its armaments, knowing that this is the most consuming thing for the country, but does not hesitate to do so until the last drop of blood is squeezed out of the people, the last breath is exhausted, and the country is ruined and the family is destroyed.
.”
"I have begun to believe the fallacies you told me before. Life in this world is really a result of suffering. God will not give us a peaceful world. This scourge of war will never be eliminated."
He Ran showed a fake smile, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up. Although he was disdainful of his superficial showoff, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"Before, I thought there was no way to eliminate it, but now I have an insight into the mystery."
Xiao Xiao saw him returning to pick up the tea cup he had just put down with a complacent look on his face. He couldn't help but feel angry and funny. He slapped his outstretched hand hard and yelled: "Are you finished yet? Tell me now!"
He Ran became honest now, with a look of grievance and dissatisfaction on his face, but he soon regained some pride and said slowly: "The reason is very simple, just give power to those who don't want to fight."
Xiao Xiao was puzzled for a moment and frowned: "You mean to let those who are not warlike take power? This doesn't make sense. Not to mention that it is difficult to change the king's power. Even if it can be done, how can one determine whether a person is good at war? He might have previously
He is not warlike. Who can guarantee that he will not change after taking power? That is nonsense!" She finally concluded.
He Ran looked at her proudly and said: "You don't understand at all. Let me ask you, who dislikes war the least?"
Xiao Xiao blinked and said, "That's a lot."
"What if we divide them into groups? I'm talking about the least pleasant ones."
"Of course we are the common people. When the war starts, not only will taxes increase, but we will also have to recruit people into the army. Our homes will also be in danger."
He Ran said in a pretentious manner: "Yes, you are not confused. Do you still need my guidance next time?"
Xiao Xiao looked at him and almost wagged his tail. He held back his laughter and threatened: "If you don't want to be beaten, just say it as hard as you want."
He Ran pouted, finally not daring to show off too much, and said: "Think about the New Deal, everything is decided by the people. If the people decide whether to go to war with other countries, then which country's people will agree to go to war?
Wouldn’t the scourge of war be completely eliminated in this way?”
Xiao Xiao suddenly realized it, then shook his head and said: "The truth is indeed good, but it is still nonsense. Other countries will not use your new policy."
He Ran nodded and said: "What you are saying is that the reason why Yi Guo was able to implement the New Deal was because it had unique opportunities. First of all, Pingjiang had no intention of having power, and secondly, I had the power to monopolize it. Even so, the opposition never stopped, even
Su Ge and Xu Tong both opposed me face to face. It can be said that if I die today, the New Deal will be abolished tomorrow."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and said: "You talk nonsense about life and death again, your skin must be itchy again!"
He Ran quickly said: "I won't say it anymore. I'm just trying to make the truth clear. Other countries not only won't implement the New Deal, they also treat it like a scourge. Even our ally Kang Guo is forcing me to take back the New Deal.
We have already started expelling Yi people from the territory. If we insist on going our own way, we will become enemies of the world, and sooner or later Kang will have to turn against us, but it is indeed the best choice to eliminate the scourge of war."
