Chapter 2142: One is strong and the other is weak
The reason why Mou State took the initiative to invade the territory of Ya State was that Emperor Jiuyou personally led the Dragon God Army to occupy the sacred land of Ya State, Baiqiuyuan, and once defeated Ya State without any means of response. Mou State felt that the opportunity could not be missed, so it attacked from the western front of Ya State.
But just when Mou State was getting started, Cangyan State suddenly withdrew its troops and turned to seize Bailie, leaving Mou’s army stranded on the battlefield of Ya State.
At that time, Mou State did not know He Lingchuan's true identity, and had no way of predicting his next move. They only thought that He Lingchuan wanted to retaliate against Ya State and invade Ya State's territory, so there was nothing wrong with Mou State joining in and playing a mixed doubles game on the left and right sides.
But now that Cangyan Kingdom has stopped fighting Ya Kingdom, it is reasonable for Mou Kingdom to agree to a ceasefire. After all, the battle with Beijia in the west is still going on.
Emperor Mou lowered his eyes and remained silent for four or five breaths before asking, "What do you think?"
"Cang Yan slaughtered three hundred of our soldiers for no reason. He is so arrogant and domineering that we must not tolerate him." Qian Bingmao stepped forward and said, "I think he must be severely punished."
"How should we punish him?" Ji Yingxian asked him, "We are already fighting on two fronts. Do we have to go to war against Cang Yan again now?"
Even if the Mou State is powerful, it would not be a good idea for it to declare war on all the surrounding powerful countries at the same time, right?
"Jiuyou is in Bailie, very close to Damu. Perhaps this is an opportunity." Qian Bingmao thought about it and came up with an idea. "Why not ask the immortal to help him teach him a lesson?"
The existence of the immortal is a deterrent force for the State of Mou.
If we don't want to expand the war, wouldn't it be best to deter Cang Yan?
After these words were spoken, there was total silence around, and no one dared to agree.
Qian Bingmao waited for two breaths and found that Emperor Mou was looking at him steadily with a deep gaze, so he could not help but lower his head.
Ah, I said something wrong.
The Emperor did not want him to propose this plan.
The small court meeting was dull. Guo Shaoping looked at his nose and his heart, but he said nothing, leaving Qian Bingmao alone.
Finally, it was Ji Yingxian who spoke up: "When the Immortal makes a move, the mountains collapse and the earth cracks. How much weight does he, the Nine Nether Emperor, have? If we ask the Immortal to make a move, it would be like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken, making a fuss over nothing."
Everyone nodded.
The focus is on the latter sentence, which is making a mountain out of a molehill.
Mou State did not use the ultimate weapon of immortality against Beijia and Ya State, so why couldn't it help it against Shang Cangyan?
After all, Cang Yan did not pose any threat to the mainland of Mou State.
Of course, the most important thing is that the immortals stand at the top of the world, looking down on the existence of all living beings.
Qian Bingmao is so arrogant that he asks them to help him right away?
Tang Heyuan took the opportunity to interject:
"Emperor, the Great Emperor Jiuyou was able to defeat Yao Kingdom and Qingyang in the past. He must be good at judging the situation. Let's see how he will explain to Mou Kingdom this time."
Emperor Mou still said nothing.
Obviously, he was not satisfied with the speeches of his ministers.
You Huan stepped forward and changed the subject: "Emperor, regarding our battle with the Kingdom of Ya, I think that we should not negotiate peace at this time. Instead, we should increase our offensive and take over the four regions of Qingxun in one go."
These four places are all on the border between Mou and Ya, and are mainly mountainous. Ya State can take advantage of the terrain to defend against enemies.
All the ministers were a little surprised, only Emperor Mou rolled his eyes.
You Huan's words were abrupt, and seemed to have digressed from the question raised by Emperor Mou. But in fact, the overall foreign strategy of a great power is a chess game, and how Mou State deals with Cang Yan also depends to a large extent on the strategy implemented towards Ya State.
If they don't fight with Ya State, will Mou State be able to spare some time to teach Cang Yan a lesson?
You Huan continued, "These four places are not included in the conditions set by Yaguo. We'd better go and get them ourselves."
Qian Bingmao nodded quickly: "If we can take over the four lands of Qingxun, it will indeed be better than the other conditions offered by Ya Country. However, should this war continue?"
"Cang Yan invaded Ya State and occupied the holy land, establishing his position in one fell swoop. It suddenly withdrew its troops, probably because Ya State reached some deal with it in private. So in the short term, Ya State will not dare to retaliate against it." You Huan stated slowly, "Since our army has already engaged in war with Ya State, and since the battle has already begun, we must beat it hard and make it surrender! From now on, Ya State will treat our country with respect."
Otherwise, over the past few years, Ya State has been repeatedly testing the edge of offending Mou State and cooperating with Beiga, which has really annoyed Mou State.
"Emperor Jiuyou saw through the necessity of fighting against Ya, so he had to fight that battle." You Huan continued, "Isn't this also an opportunity for our army? Moreover, Cang Yan has gained a lot from this conflict. Since we, Damu, have sent troops, we must also bring back rich spoils of war."
This statement is implicit. The translation means that Cangyan Kingdom made a lot of money before and after the war against Ya, and can be said to be the biggest winner;
Bega also gained the upper hand in the war on the Western Front;
The loss of Bailie by the Mou Kingdom was actually caused by Cang Yan's theft. If they fail to punish Cang Yan at this time and withdraw from the Ya Kingdom so easily, wouldn't they become the biggest loser? !
What a big country wants is dignity, so it cannot suffer the most in this chaos.
Therefore, Mou State must win the battle and must take a considerable amount of spoils!
Emperor Mou still didn't speak, so Ji Yingxian asked, "So, what about Blade Harbor?"
You Huan said solemnly: "Emperor Jiuyou claims to be the Lord of the Hundred Ranks. Our country must first confirm his legitimacy. If the law is really complete, Blade Harbor has nothing to do with us. It is a territory rented by Qing Kingdom. We didn't care about it before, and we won't care about it in the future."
Fifty years ago, when Qing State seized Blade Harbor from Bai Lie, Mou State did not come out to uphold justice; fifty years later, Bai Lie took back Blade Harbor from Qing State, so what right does Mou State have to stop it?
Qian Bingmao let out a long breath: "Although this is the case, Cang Yan has been too much of a show-off recently!"
I know the truth, but I just can't stand Cang Yan's smug face.
For more than a hundred years, Bailie had been a vassal of the Mou Kingdom, but it was stolen in one day! As a Mou person, he was angry.
You Huan immediately said, "Qing Kingdom is not very respectful to our Damu. In the past years, it has always been on the fence between Damu and Beijia. It is a typical fence-sitter. Today, it should learn a lesson."
After these words were spoken, everyone nodded, obviously getting angry when they thought of Qingguo's expression.
"We can't let Cang Yan be too arrogant." Cang Yan actually killed the officers and soldiers of the Mou Kingdom. The Mou Kingdom wanted to regain this face. Guo Shaoping said, "Dispatch 30,000 elite troops and deploy them along the border, ready to follow orders at any time!"
One of the officials said, "General Xu has volunteered for the third time."
Lu Zhensheng was executed in his own mansion. Lu Qinglin was deeply saddened when he heard the news and urged to go to the battle.
Guo Shaoping said without hesitation: "Don't send him, lest he lose control."
He sent those 30,000 elite troops to the border, not because he really wanted to fight a war.
"Master Wang." Guo Shaoping turned to Wang Xingyi again, "You and Emperor Jiuyou are old acquaintances. I'm sorry to trouble you to walk a hundred trains."
