Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 266

In the palace of the Prince of Chu, Dai Jin said, "First compare with the results of the battle."

"If you attack Izumo, you can occupy Yushui County; if you join the alliance, you can take advantage of the situation and take Nanyu County. On the surface, they are all one county, but their value to the palace is very different."

"Not to mention the advantages and disadvantages of the resources and population of the two counties, only from the geographical point of view, Yushui County is located in the enemy's territory, and it will take a lot of energy to digest and integrate; and Nanyu County was originally the center of the palace. , it can be perfectly integrated with the jurisdiction with almost no effort."

After hearing this, King Ganke of Chu nodded unconsciously. Losing Nanyu County last year has always been a knot in his heart, and he dreamed of taking it back.

Dai Jin continued: "Let's compare it from the post-war impact."

"If you attack the Izumo Kingdom, the Izumo Kingdom after the war will be divided by the four forces of Qin, Chu, Izumo, and Luoyun. Among them, the Qin Palace and the Luoyun Kingdom are allies, and the west is supported by Kongsang County , It can be said that it is like a fish in water. And what about the palace? It has been torn apart from the Izumo country, and it has no reliable allies.

"On the contrary, what about Prince Qin's Mansion? It is absolutely possible to join forces with Luoyun Kingdom to completely destroy Izumo Kingdom and occupy the absolute dominance of Izumo Kingdom. At that time, the Palace will have to rely on King Qin's face again."

King Chu's face twitched slightly after hearing this.

With the aggressiveness shown by King Qin, Dai Jin's idea is very likely.

Dai Jin continued: "Then, what about joining the alliance? After the destruction of the Southern Border Protectorate, the palace will not only have one less confidant, but also no worries about the future. There is no need to worry about the fire in the backyard, and you can go north with all your strength. At the same time, the new dynasty has no Taking the sea-fixing needle of the Southern Border Protectorate is like cutting off an arm, and it is bound to collapse. With these two advantages, if one fades and the other grows, His Highness's dominance can be expected."

What Dai Jin said was impassioned.

The atmosphere in the whole room seemed to become warmer.

After finishing speaking, Dai Jin picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of it. His heart was full of carefreeness. He rarely stated something so eloquently.

Taking a look at the silent Jia Xu, Dai Jin felt even more refreshed.

The King of Chu's mind also became clearer. After Dai Jin's analysis, the two options were indeed superior. He couldn't help but looked at Jia Xu and asked, "What do you think, sir?"

Seeing this, Dai Jin felt sour. Judging from this small detail, the king of Chu still trusted Jia Xu more. From this point of view, he still has a long way to go if he wants to regain the C position.

There was nothing to be seen from Jia Xu's face, and he replied quietly: "Dai Jin's analysis is indeed reasonable, but there are still two risks in it, His Highness needs to be cautious."

Dai Jin was even more upset. Isn't this demolishing him.

"Which two risks?" King Chu asked.

Jia Xu said: "One is the premise before I am dismissed from office. The alliance with foreign enemies will damage your highness's reputation. The second risk is the risk of war. If you raid Yushui County, it is almost sure; but if you want to take Nanyu County, I am afraid It's not that easy. Facts have repeatedly proved that the Southwest Corps is not a soft persimmon."

King Chu's expression froze.

Indeed, anyone who underestimates the Southwest Corps will eventually stumble.

How could he forget this.

When Dai Jin saw him, he said, "You are too ambitious for others, and destroy your own prestige, right?! No matter how strong the Southwest Corps is, it only has five divisions in a mere area, and it still has four counties to guard. It is reported that the entire Nanyu County has There is not a single established army. There are [-] troops under the command of the palace. If there are too many, three divisions can always be drawn out, right? Could it be that with several times the army, it is impossible to win a Nanyu County?"

Jia Xu said quietly: "What if the King of Qin abandons his car to protect the commander-in-chief, abandons Siyou County, and tries his best to protect Nanyu County?"

"Uh……"

Dai Jin had nothing to say.

Jia Xu didn't let it go, and continued: "One more thing, if we make a move, who can guarantee that the imperial court will not follow the trend and provide support for the Southern Border Protectorate?"

"This……"

Dai Jin turned his eyes and said tit for tat: "With the new emperor's fear of King Qin and the new emperor's cautious character, the possibility of coping with it is very small. More likely, the new emperor is willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

From this point of view, Dai Jin still knows the new emperor very well.

The two counselors refused to give in, and what they said seemed to make sense.

The King of Chu fell into hesitation, and he suddenly realized that this seemingly insignificant request for help from the Izumo Kingdom was actually linked to his hegemony.

Different choices will directly affect the direction of the hegemony.

This has to be cautious.

When Dai Jin saw him, he shouted loudly and sincerely said: "Your Highness, some risks must be taken. It seems safest to choose to attack the Izumo Kingdom, but in fact it is to boil frogs in warm water. Once King Qin becomes powerful, it will be With the overwhelming trend sweeping the world, it will be impossible to reach it by then. Right now is the best opportunity to snipe King Qin, and it may be the only opportunity. Your Highness, for the sake of supremacy, let's fight for it!"

The king of Chu was finally moved. After a long time, he made up his mind: "Okay, let's gamble."

He was really reconciled,
Neither reconciled to failure, nor reconciled to being suppressed by Qian Yuan.

Jia Xu sighed in his heart, he had tried his best, but he still couldn't stop King Chu, what he could do now was to send this information to His Highness King Qin as soon as possible.

Let Your Highness prepare early.

The King of Chu finally said: "Since we have decided to send troops, we need to make a good plan. In your opinion, which divisions should be sent into battle?"

Although Jia Xu lost a city, he still did not lose the trust of the King of Chu.

Dai Jin on the side was going crazy with jealousy.

However, Jia Xu's heart trembled and he was full of vigilance. After following King Chu for so long, he still knew a thing or two about this master's temperament.

Suspicion is as deep as the ocean.

Don't look at the king of Chu looking like a normal person now, but the more so, the more alarm bells sounded for Jia Xu, he realized that the king of Chu was already suspicious of him.

This question seems to be taken seriously, but it is actually a crazy temptation.

Never go wrong again!
Jia Xu said: "As Dai Jin said, the Nanjiang Protectorate has no organized troops in Nanyu County, but it should not be taken lightly. The lower officials suggested that the first division should be the main force, and then the seventh division should be transferred from Kuaiji County. With the cooperation of the division and the regiment, the two roads advanced side by side, and they entered Nanyu County together."

In words, Jia Xu did not forget to dig a hole for Dai Jin.

The king of Chu listened and nodded in satisfaction, "Sir, what you said is very true. The fifteenth brother is really too cunning. This time, he will pounce down with a thunderbolt, so as not to give the enemy a chance to come back."

Jia Xu said: "Since that's the case, you can order the Eighth Division to stand by and be ready to go to the battlefield in Nanyu County at any time. Quan should use this battle to train the troops."

"very good."

The King of Chu finally smiled, "Just do what you want."

…………

Taihua County, Prince Wei's Mansion.

As King Liusha, King Izumo, and King Chu expressed their views one by one, King Wei's attitude was predictable.

He has no reason to miss this feast.

Sitting back and watching Qianyuan occupy Nanyu County before, King Wei has already regretted it. This time, he will never make the same mistake again.

If he could win Zhaoyao County, then all four counties in the west of the empire would fall into his hands.

It's exciting just thinking about it.

"I heard that the fifteenth brother has developed Zhaoyao County in a prosperous way these years, and it has a tendency to catch up with the rich coastal counties. This time, it will be cheaper for us." Wei Wang said with a smile.

The fourteenth prince also nodded with a smile.

Although he has always been opposed to the civil war in the empire, when the situation has developed to this point, neither the King of Chu nor the King of Wei, and even the new emperor, have no way out.

Always have to do one.

That being the case, let's make a decision earlier, before the Yaozu show their fangs.

"Third brother is going to send those troops into the arena?" The fourteenth prince asked.

Wei Wang Qiantai said: "Excluding the troops to guard Zhulong Kingdom, Beidi Kingdom and the imperial court, there are only three or four divisions that can be mobilized. I think we will mobilize the new sixth, seventh, and eighth divisions this time. Quan Dang It’s military training.”

It's really cold.

The fourteenth prince worried: "It is reported that the second division of the Southwest Corps is stationed in Zhaoyao County. If we send all the new troops, will there be something wrong?"

He worries about morale.

King Wei thought for a while and said, "Your worry is indeed justified, then let the third division be the main force, and replace the eighth division."

The western region is also surrounded by enemies, and the king of Wei doesn't have many troops to mobilize. This is still in the case of massive military expansion, otherwise, he would not have such a big appetite.

The Fourteenth Prince nodded, clearly agreeing with this arrangement.

King Wei finally said: "You will be in charge of this expedition, how about it?" But he was worried about handing over such a large army to any one of his subordinates.

"You should take orders yourself." The Fourteenth Prince was obliged.

…………

Qingqiu Country, White Fox City.

After receiving the secret letter from the Quicksand King, among the members of the Anti-Qin Alliance, Hu Zun was the most indifferent.

Thanks to the food and supplies purchased from the Southern Border Protectorate, the army of the Qingqiu Kingdom is practicing day and night, plotting to recover the lost land occupied by the Zhulong Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, Master Fox would never join in the melee of the human race.

Of course, Lord Fox has no intention of helping Qian Yuan. He is determined to maintain neutrality this time and let the humans fight on their own.

Even if the Southern Border Protectorate is destroyed, Qingqiu can still find a partner.

Just watch the excitement.
