Chapter 2145: One Cannot Be Completed, One Cannot Be Beaten

You Huan's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up.

Originally, the strongest contender for the position of Chief Minister was Tang Heyuan.

However, at the last internal military meeting, Tang Heyuan strongly advocated sending troops to the State of Ya, and did not inform Cangyan, for fear that Cangyan would take advantage of him.

This was a major strategic misjudgment, because after Mou's army launched a heavy attack on Ya State, Cang Yan cut off its support.

Everyone else has reached the shore, but they are still wallowing in the mud.

Although the main responsibility for this mistake was borne by General Assistant Guo Shaoping, Tang Heyuan's proposal also revealed the shortcomings of his strategic vision.

This series of facts proves the value of You Huan's advice.

Given that the Mu-Ya war might not end easily, You Huan believed that if the emperor had a scale in his heart, then his own weight should become heavier, while Tang and Yuan would become lighter accordingly.

Yes, isn't this worth celebrating? Go to Huanxianglou!

Moudu has a characteristic that it loves to rain endlessly at night. It rained so heavily tonight that the number of guests in Huanxianglou was much less than usual.

The You brothers are frequent visitors here. The private room they often visit is on the corridor on the second floor, at the back, facing the door. The advantage is that it is not as noisy as the lobby, but if you lower your head you can see the koi swimming in the fish pond in the center of the hall.

The two brothers talked about the war in the south, and You Su asked:

"Brother, how long do you think this war will last?"

"The emperor's mind is unpredictable." You Huan clinked his cup with him, "If you can obey me, you must fight until you win."

"Brother, you are a fortune teller. Can you tell me when Yaguo will admit defeat?"

You Huan glanced at him and said, "Why, what evil thoughts are you having again?"

You Su smiled flatteringly: "No, no, but war is a big business after another. I have never encountered one so far, which is a pity."

"For food, livestock, leather armor, wound medicine, weapons, etc., the military has dedicated procurement channels. You have never touched them before, and it will never be your turn in the future."

You Su knew all of this, so he couldn't get involved. They had already allocated everything. "Brother, is there anything else I can do?"

You Huan thought for a moment and said, "Yes. If the war continues until autumn, you will have a chance."

"Hey, it's not far away. What can you tell me, big brother?"

"In autumn, the plains of Ya Country are often flooded with autumn flies. They are poisonous insects unique to the area and suck blood more fiercely than fleas. After being bitten, people will have red boils all over their bodies and it will itch uncontrollably. Although Yuanli can reduce its toxicity, it is definitely uncomfortable after being bitten. Some soldiers can't sleep all night, which affects their combat effectiveness."

"When the time comes, the government will definitely purchase a large amount of drugs or herbs to repel horseflies and eliminate boils." You Huan gave advice to his brother, "If you think the war is hard to end easily like I do, you should go and buy them now. Of course, if I make a mistake, these herbs will fall into your hands."

You Su nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand!"

He poured another glass of wine for his brother, and his voice became even quieter: "I was on duty today. I heard that Emperor Jiuyou killed three hundred of our warriors, and Cang Yan wanted to occupy the Blade Port of Qing Kingdom. Did Qing Kingdom rush to ask for help? And the Royal Master wanted to send an envoy to Cang Yan?"

Wow, there are so many explosive news one after another this morning.

Each of them is related to Cang Yan.

You Huan hummed, "You can say that Bailie came to claim the Blade Harbor back. The port was forcibly leased by the Qing Kingdom forty years ago, and now the lease is up."

You Su asked the most concerned topic: "Will the Emperor help Qing Kingdom? Will we, will we fight with Cang Yan?"

You Huan did not hesitate: "The king's envoy to Cang Yan, even if the conditions brought back are only half of what Qing Kingdom offered to our country, I think the emperor will be inclined to make peace with Cang Yan."

He believed that the war between Mou State and Ya State would never end, but he could not fight with Cangyan.

"Why?"

"Qing is too insignificant." You Huan weighed the documents from Qing in his hand. "No matter how many conditions Qing offers, they are insignificant. No matter how much benefit it is willing to give us, it is not worth mentioning in the long run. Because the area of ​​the Shining Gold Plain is really vast, the potential for cooperation is unlimited."

Qing State is just a small country.

No matter their area, national strength, military power, development potential, or the leadership of their monarchs, these two countries cannot be put on the same scale to measure their superiority.

It would be totally not worth it for Mou State to turn against Cang Yan for the sake of Qing State and a small Blade Harbor.

The Ya Kingdom took advantage of the Dragon God War to invade Shanjin and declared war on He Xiao, which led to the revenge of Emperor Jiuyou and even brought shame to the holy land of Baiqiuyuan.

After this incident, everyone knew that Emperor Jiuyou had a very hard temper, and the Cangyan Kingdom was poor and arrogant, and had no intention of swallowing its anger.

It is better to avoid provoking such an opponent in the short term.

"What's more..." You Huan hesitated before saying, "After Cang Yan established the country, the situation around my Damu has not been very good."

The original Shining Gold Plain was a mess, so even if the Mou Kingdom could not take it, it did not have to worry about any threat from it. So in the area east of the Mou Kingdom, it only needed to occasionally strike at the trouble-making Ya Kingdom.

This is its rear area.

Unexpectedly, He Xiao came and took over Shanjin.

When Cang Yan stepped onto the historical stage, the security structure in the east of Mou State was completely broken.

Today, the state of Mou is surrounded by Beijia to the west and Cangyan to the east. It is sandwiched between two extremely large countries.

Anyone standing in the geographical position of Mouguo would feel a chill in their heart and back.

Although Cangyan severely taught Yaguo a lesson, it is also related to Beijia. Once Cangyan and Beijia get close, Beijia and Mouguo fight on the western front, and Cangyan raises troops on the eastern front, then won’t Cangyan be like the second Yaguo, and an oversized one?

Can Mou State still win and live a good life?

"If our country becomes hostile to Cangyan again, the relationship with Yaguo, Cangyan, and Beijia will become very tense." You Huan carefully considered his words, "Even a strong country like Damu would find it very difficult to deal with such a situation."

You Su scratched his head: "Let's just forget about these two things. We sign a new agreement with Cang Yan and we'll be good neighbors from now on? Oh, that sounds a bit pathetic and not satisfying."

You Huan glanced at him and chuckled, "Tell me, what loss did Damu suffer?"

"Uh, Bailie was taken away by Cangyan? That turned out to be our tribute land."

"Yes, it is true that a piece of tribute land has been lost, but the Lu family's father and son have not managed it well, and Bailie's tribute has been very small. Besides, it was originally a free land, and as long as it can bear the consequences, it can make its own decision on who to join."

What does it mean to be able to bear the consequences? It means that the new backer is willing to cover the consequences.

"Ordinary people only want retribution in this life, because retribution in this life comes quickly, and they just need to stick their necks out and fight the other side without using their brains. But in the game between big countries, the chess pieces may not all squeeze into one corner to fight. It is best for you to fight yours and I to fight mine, and not to be led by the enemy by the nose."

You Huan sighed: "How can a big country handle affairs like a small people? Besides, if Damu really wants to get back at this place, why not get it back somewhere else? In the future, Cangyan will have many opportunities to deal with our country, and there will be many opportunities to make mistakes and make difficult mistakes."

When Mou Guo and Cang Yan are playing a game, they cannot just insist on fighting where they are not in the right, as it will be both tiring and unable to gain the upper hand.

You Su pressed his chest and said exaggeratedly: "After hearing what brother said, I feel much better."

You Huan glanced at the hall below, originally casually, but when his eyes passed the door, they suddenly focused slightly.

Several women came together, followed by maids or servants. One of them was Mei Wuniang!
