Chapter 2594: Coercive countries, Yangping, World War II (Part 1)


    Chapter 2591: Coerce the countries, Yangping in World War II (Part 1)


    In response to Liu Yu''s invitation, among the three Central Plains, only the Ming Kingdom expressed that he would send envoys to Shu to watch the ceremony.


    As for the six countries of Wei, Song, Wu, Yuan, Qing and Jin, the latter four countries directly refused, while the first two countries were still hesitant.


    Yuan Meng was just pressed on the ground by Daqin and rubbed him. Kublai Khan really didn''t dare to raise money for Daqin because the price was unbearable. If he went out for the third time, there would be no place to cry.


    The internal strife of the Qing Dynasty was still continuing, and the two countries of Jin and Qing dynasties fought hard in the Northeast.


    The Qing Dynasty wanted the Qin Dynasty to increase its support, while the Jin Dynasty hoped that the Qin Dynasty would not be stubborn. It was all seeking the Qin Dynasty, so it was naturally impossible to send people to participate in Liu Yu''s ascension ceremony.


    The Wu Kingdom was not only an ally of the Qin Dynasty, but also a marriage between the two countries, and the interests of the two countries were closely tied.


    In addition, Sun Quan''s succession to the throne was still short and had not yet completely acquired power. Naturally, it was impossible to abandon the Iron Alliance of Daqin to please the Iron Alliance of Shu, the mortal enemy of Wu.


    Liu Yu actually knew that the four countries of Wu, Yuan, Qing and Jin would not be attracted by him, so he started with the two countries of Wei and Song dynasties from the beginning.


    The intention of expanding the army after the Great Qin victory in the frontier was seen by anyone with a discerning eye. The next one was either the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains or the Western Liang and Sui Kingdom.


    Judging from the scale of the expansion of the Qin army this time, the next blow is likely to hit the Central Plains. If you approach the Sui Kingdom, you need to expand so many troops.


    The Wei and Wu countries were unable to be willing to be annexed by the Qin Dynasty, so naturally they took many countermeasures. The relationship with the Qin Dynasty also took a sharp turn for the worse, and the alliance between the Qin Dynasty, Wei and Song Dynasty was also in danger.


    Liu Yu also felt that this was a good opportunity to play. If he could leverage the corners of the Qin Dynasty and win over the Wei and Song dynasties to the Shu Han camp, then the Anti-Qin Alliance would not be the previous strait team.


    Liu Yu has always wanted to gather all the forces in the world except the Great Qin to form an anti-Qin alliance to prevent the Great Qin from unifying the world.


    The Qin Dynasty is really too powerful, and there is no chance of winning when fighting alone. Only by joining forces can we compete with each other.


    The kings of Liu Yu and others also understood this principle, but the foreign policy of the Qin Dynasty was too clever.


    Using trade concessions, colonizing Yingzhou, and other measures to bind interests to the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.


    By supporting Aguda and Maodun, we will split the Yuan and Qing dynasties and allow the two countries to continue to internally fight...


    Under this foreign policy, all countries have gained real benefits. Although they are still guarding against and fearing the Qin Dynasty, they are gradually unable to do without the Qin Dynasty and cannot unite to resist the Qin Dynasty.


    Before, Liu Yu could not find any opportunity to alienate Daqin and his allies, but now Daqin has taken the initiative to give him this opportunity.


    Therefore, even when Prime Minister Su Qin was sent to the two countries not long ago, the King of Wei and King of Song did not give any face at all, and Cao Cao could even say that he was humiliating to refuse Su Qin''s entry.


    But Liu Yu still decided to use his hot face to stick to the cold butts of Wei and Song dynasties.


    Because this is the only way to fight against Daqin.


    The Wei and Song dynasties were naturally very moved by the re-entry of Shu Kingdom. After all, if they were not seeking new allies, they might not be able to withstand it when the Qin Dynasty came.


    The Central Plains region is flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend, while the Qin Dynasty has the power to cross the Central Plains, and the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties are too disadvantageous in the terrain.


    If we can join forces with Shu Han, when the Qin Dynasty sends troops to the Central Plains, if Shu and Chu can send troops to support it, they can at least restrain the Qin Dynasty''s 300,000 to 400,000 troops.


    The reason is that this is true, but when it comes to the decision, most of the senior officials of the Wei and Song dynasties refused to send envoys to Shu to watch the ceremony.


    Song State, Shouchun.


    King Zhao Kuangyin of Song, sat upright on the throne, looking at the lower side with disbelief, headed by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi and other opposition groups.


    "The great Qin Dynasty''s expansion of its army is unprecedented in its momentum. Ying Hao intends to unify, and his next goal is obviously the Central Plains. At this time, it will be beneficial to our Song Dynasty but not harmless."


    Zhao Kuangyin directly expressed his point of view, which was to send envoys to Shu and make friends with Liu Yu.


    He really didn''t understand. It was obviously a good thing to make friends with Shu Kingdom, but why are there so many people in China opposed it? Among them is his smart younger brother since childhood.


    "Before, when the Prime Minister of Shu was sent to Shouchun, I took into account the Qin Dynasty, so I did not show up. I was already rude, but Liu Yu did not take any grudges and was still willing to make friends with me, the Song Dynasty. What reason should I not go?"


    Hearing Zhao Kuangyin''s words, most of the people who had originally opposed the mission to Shu Kingdom chose to remain silent, but Zhao Guangyi still opposed it.


    "Brother Wang''s words are so bad. Although the way we treat the Prime Minister of Shu in the Song Dynasty is rude, it is hundreds of times better than Cao Cao''s ban on the Prime Minister of Shu."


    At this point, Zhao Guangyi felt no contempt in his heart, thinking that Cao Cao was too timid and afraid of things.


    Is Su Qin''s envoy to Wei State just a normal diplomatic meeting. Cao Cao was afraid of the reaction of the Qin Dynasty and did something like rejecting the entry of the prime minister of a country. There was no one else.


    If Cao Cao knew what Zhao Guangyi was thinking, he would definitely scold Zhao Guangyi for standing and talking without pain.


    Your Song State is amazing, your Song State is noble, your Song State is only bordering with the Qin Dynasty, and you do not border with our Wei State and the Qin Dynasty. Why doesn’t Zhao Kuangyin dare to see Su Qin in person?


    Cao Cao did too much, but in terms of the result, Wei and Song were actually the same. What qualifications does Song have to blame Wei?


    Wei State borders Daqin on three sides, and the country has been penetrated by Daqin, so you must be careful when facing Daqin.


    Zhao Guangyi obviously couldn''t understand Cao Cao''s walking on thin ice. Anyway, in his eyes, Cao Cao was just cowardly and timid.


    Zhao Guangyi''s reputation for being a high-ranking person, especially after making great contributions to the Japanese, he began to gradually reveal his nature and became more arrogant.


    Little did he know that the victory of the Japanese conquest had nothing to do with him, Zhao Guangyi. He just occupied the light of the Qin Dynasty, and his allies and subordinates were very powerful, so he only got the credit. Although the battle against Japan was mainly based on the Qin Dynasty, the four countries of Wei, Song, Wu and Ming have made great efforts, and the three kings and generals of Wei, Wu and Ming have all performed extremely well, but the Song army commanders Zhao Guangyi did not have any highlights from beginning to end.


    The Song army had the lowest sense of existence when fighting, but had the highest sense of existence when robbing merit, prisoners of war, and spoils.


    Zhao Guangyi not only did not feel ashamed but also took it as honored. After returning to China, he shamelessly carried out the process and publicity, and was content with peace of mind that had nothing to do with him.


    Of course, many people in the Song army were dissatisfied with this, but they could not resist Zhao Kuangyin covering up his younger brother.


    Zhao Kuangyin really loved Zhao Guangyi deeply. In his heart, his younger brother has advantages and is much better than himself, so he is also extremely indulgent to Zhao Guangyi.


    Zhao Guangyi''s military ability cannot be considered poor, but he can only be said to be average, but he thinks he is a famous general, mainly because Zhao Kuangyin often praises Zhao Guangyi.


    It would be fine if you listen to these words, but Zhao Guangyi took it seriously. He really thought he was better than his brother, so he led the troops to conquer the Japanese in the future.


    Little did he know that in the eyes of most people in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi was just a mediocre person who relied on his brother''s favor and didn''t care much about him at all.


    The only person who cares about Zhao Guangyi is his brother Zhao Kuangyin.


    But as Zhao Guangyi''s power grew, his ambitions became increasingly swelling, and he no longer cared about this brother.


    Now he dares to be the officials of the Song State and sing a counter-topic with Zhao Kuangyin in public, making Zhao Kuangyin unable to come to Taiwan.


    If it were someone else, Zhao Kuangyin would have pushed it out and cut it off long ago, but Zhao Guangyi would not say the same thing. Zhao Kuangyin would instead reflect on whether he was really wrong.


    Who made his younger brother smarter than him since he was a child?


    "Even if Cao Cao humiliated the Prime Minister of Shu so much, Liu Yu still kept his past grudges. It was not that he was so generous, but that he needed the power of Wei and Song countries. In other words, it was that Shu countries had requests from Wei and Song countries.


    The current situation is that the Qin Dynasty is in great power, and Liu Yu must join forces with Wei and Song to be qualified to confront the Qin Dynasty.


    Therefore, no matter how the Wei and Song dynasties bully and insult him, Liu Yu will still try his best to please me, the Song Dynasty, and will not change because of our reaction.


    But if our Song Dynasty sends envoys to Shu and congratulates Liu Yu on his ascension to the throne and become emperor, this will be like tearing down the alliance in the eyes of the Qin Dynasty, and it will surely usher in the targeting and suppression of the Qin Dynasty.


    If you want to have a good relationship with Shu, it will be the same after the war with the Qin Dynasty. Liu Yu will never refuse to accept our Song Dynasty. At this time, the words will only stimulate the Qin Dynasty and it will not be worth the loss. ”


    Without waiting, although Zhao Guangyi had average military capabilities, his political and overall view were still very good, and he could see through Liu Yu''s intentions at a glance.


    But there is one thing he said is wrong. Shu does need Song to strengthen its momentum, but Song also needs Shu to protect it. Relatively speaking, Song still needs Shu more.


    The two sides should have joined forces to each other and rely on each other, but Zhao Guangyi used this as a supporter and determined that Liu Yu would not break up with the State of Song, so he repeatedly ignored Shu, but only for the sake of immediate interests.


    If Liu Yu knew that he would not be jealous of the past and would like to please Song State like a shame, Zhao Guangyi not only did not appreciate it, but also wanted to accept him, and he didn''t know what he would feel.


    Many people think that what Zhao Guangyi said is not without reason. After all, no matter how he bullies Shu, Liu Yu will still try his best to please Song. Why not wait until after the war with the Qin Dynasty?


    Zhao Kuangyin also frowned. He felt that his second brother was wrong, but he couldn''t say it in detail. But when he thought that his second brother was better than him in this regard, he couldn''t help but look a little bit towards his second brother.


    Seeing Zhao Kuangyin''s expression, Song Prime Minister Zhao Pu knew that he could not remain silent, but before he could speak, two important information came.


    "Report to the king, the Qin Dynasty suddenly added 30,000 troops to Hulao Pass, claiming that it was to conduct training exercises in Hulao Pass."


    Zhao Kuangyin''s heart suddenly felt a stern. When was this acting training? It was clearly a threat. It would be strange if Cao Cao could withstand it.


    As expected by Zhao Kuangyin, the next news was that Cao Cao admitted defeat and clearly refused to send envoys to Sichuan to participate in Liu Yu''s ascension ceremony.


    Cao Cao could naturally think of what Zhao Guangyi could think of, but he had no other way, unlike Zhao Guangyi who would be so clever.


    At this point, among the countries in the world, except for the North Korean and the Southern Barbarians who were selected by Liu Yu, there is only one country left in Song that has not made a clear statement.


    "Brother Wang, if you don''t refuse Shu Kingdom, the Qin army in Jingbei may also have to act. Since the Qin Dynasty can act in Hulaoguan, it can act on the border between Zhangling and Runan." Zhao Guangyi said very seriously.


    Zhao Kuangyin was psychologically disgusted, but he didn''t want the Qin army in Jingbei to appear on the border of Runan. What''s more, there were so many people who opposed it, so he could only say helplessly: "Reject Shu Kingdom."

    Luoyang.


    "Report to Your Majesty, after Wei State, Song State also rejected Liu Yu''s invitation to visit the ceremony."


    Hearing Guo Jia’s words, Ying Hao was stunned and said lightly: “Did Zhao Kuangyin refuse too?


    Although I am going to give Xue Li an order to increase troops to Zhangling County and threaten Song State through exercises, the orders were still issued. Why did Zhao Kuangyin refuse? ”


    Guo Jiaze smiled and said, "Maybe Zhao Kuangyin knew that our Qin Dynasty would increase troops to Zhang Ling as a threat, but he was afraid that the conflict would intensify and lead to war, which would be completely out of control, so he refused in advance."


    Why is Cao Cao so cowardly? Although he knew that the Qin Dynasty just wanted to threaten it, not to start a war directly, if the general made his own decision and brought it into the territory of Wei in order to make meritorious service, would Wei fight or not?


    In order to fight, even if Daqin does not want to start a war, it must start a war.


    If you don’t fight, you can’t stand and let the Qin army chop.


    Zhao Kuangyin was naturally the same as Cao Cao thought, so he simply did not give Ying Hao a chance to threaten him.


    As long as I kneel fast enough, Daqin’s father’s slap can’t fall.


    "It''s really boring. I haven''t even made any moves yet, and they all became cowardly. Instead, I hope that Wei and Song will be tougher and it''s better to tear up the alliance directly. Then I can even save the reason for sending troops to the Central Plains." Ying Hao said with some disappointment.


    ?There are still two thousand words left to the manuscript, and the second chapter is that I can’t finish it. If I don’t work overtime tomorrow, I may be able to challenge the double updates.
