Chapter 2940 The war in Yingzhou escalates, seducing Shu and Chu to the end (final)
Liu Yu''s life has been very difficult recently. As for the reason, it is naturally because the only ally in the northwest, the Sui Kingdom was destroyed.
Liu Yu was also very puzzled about this. After all, the Sui Kingdom was not a soft persimmon. It could make a **** path in such a chaotic situation in Yongliang. It could have fought against the Qin army back and forth. Why was it defeated so quickly this time when the Qin army was defeated? He was destroyed before he could send reinforcements.
In the demise of the Sui Kingdom, Shu Han fell into an isolated and helpless situation in the northwest, and could only confront the troops of the four prefectures of the Great Qin Dynasty, Yongliang River and Sea. The pressure can be imagined.
If he could concentrate his troops, Liu Yu would not be too afraid of the dangers of Shu Road, but the problem was that there was a southern barbarian behind him that had not been solved.
There are four prefectures of Daqin in the north, and the southern barbarians in the south are making trouble all day long. Even Liu Yu has no confidence when he attacks on both sides.
Originally, Liu Yu wanted to help Tubo become an ally, but after experiencing the defeat in Haizhou, Tubo King Songtsen Gampo vomited blood in anger, and his body plummeted. It is hard to say how long he could live.
In addition, the internal situation of Tubo is also extremely unstable. The original betrayal Yelu Deguang has already shown a backlash. Tubo is now in trouble with self-protection, let alone supporting Shu Han.
Therefore, when the news of the Qin Dynasty winning consecutive battles in the Central Plains came, Liu Yu was so worried that he even turned white in his hair, and he sighed constantly every day. After all, every time the Qin Dynasty took a step forward in the Central Plains, it means that the demise of Shu Han accelerated.
Liu Yu didn''t understand that the situation suddenly declined. He obviously did not make any mistakes, and in the end he could only conclude that his teammates were dragging him down.
It’s all because of Yang Guang. If he hadn’t been so bad suddenly, how could Li Jing easily unify the northwest?
Yang Guang did fall down this time, but Liu Yu also has a powerful teammate, that is Liu Xiu.
Compared to Yang Guang, Liu Xiu was simply too successful. He never held back. He was extremely powerful every time he took the initiative. This time he seized a thousand-year-old opportunity and was about to destroy the Wu Kingdom.
Once the Chu State completely destroys Wu State, it will completely occupy the Yangtze River defense line. At that time, the situation of the Shu-Chu Alliance will be much better. At least it will not be able to fight back against Qin, but the Chu State''s power will completely surpass Shu Han, and Liu Xiu will also replace Liu Yu and become the savior of the Han Dynasty in the hearts of those who are interested in the Han Dynasty.
How could this make Liu Yu, the great Han emperor, feel?
Until this time, Liu Yu finally regretted his behavior of proclaiming himself emperor.
Although there are many benefits of becoming emperor, there are even more disadvantages. It not only attracted the full revenge of the Qin Dynasty, but also lost the three counties in Hanzhong for this, but also caused internal turmoil.
If I had known that it would cause today''s situation, it would be better to keep Liu Bian. Anyway, it''s just a mascot and will not pose any threat to my power. How could I shoot the bow and go back?
Now that things have come to this point, it is too late for Liu Yu to regret it. He can only do his best to repair the broken ship of Shu Han that was about to sink.
Fortunately, God still favored Liu Yu. After the two counties in Yinan were lost, the mining industry of the two counties was missing. Shu Han had a serious financial gap, but then he found gold mines in Chengdu, which not only solved the financial crisis, but also accelerated the recovery of previous war losses.
But relying solely on a small gold mine, it is obviously unrealistic to completely restore Shu Kingdom to the pre-war period. Even if the mine is hollowed out, it is not enough, so Liu Yu has been actively increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.
In terms of saving money, in order to save money, Liu Yu personally checked every amount of money in Shu Han''s internal affairs development, basically saving all the places that can save.
As for open source, it is already lucky to find a small gold mine. It is obviously unrealistic to find another one in the short term, so Liu Yu decided to follow the example of firefighting Liu Xiu to make money by selling arms.
Liu Yu, who made a fortune in the war by selling it to prisoners of war and warships in the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, made a fortune. This made Liu Yu very envious, but who should he sell his arms to?
Although the wars between the Central Plains and Jiangnan were repeatedly fought, whether it was the expansion of the four countries of Wei, Song, Ming and Wu, or the various rebel armies in the Central Plains, they seemed to be very short of equipment on the surface, but they could not become customers of Shu Han.
Because the products of the four countries are already enough to meet the needs, and even if there is such a cheap price, they will digest them internally to achieve complementary resources, and it is impossible for Shu Han to occupy them.
After searching for him, Liu Yu found that he could only do business with Tubo and sold the ambitious Yelu Deguang arms.
If Liu Yu had naturally not done this before, after all, the stable Tubo could be used as a helping hand, but with Songtsen Gampo''s serious illness, the situation in Tubo was already in turmoil. It seems that it is no different whether he adds this fire or not. It is better to take this opportunity to make a profit.
Even if Shu Han sold arms to Yelu Deguang, it was destined to be a small amount of arms purchase, and the number was limited. It was not that Liu Yu was reluctant to sell it, but that Yelu Deguang had a small appetite and could not buy so much at all.
Therefore, for Shu Han, the arms business can only satisfy the craving temporarily, but cannot do it until it is full of fish and meat. The best way to open source is to destroy the Southern Barbarians.
Liu Yu dreamed that the Southern Barbarians would be destroyed. After all, as long as the Southern Barbarians could be destroyed, Shu Han could not only obtain a state with millions of people, but also obtain the necessary sea outlet for colonials that he had always dreamed of.
The Shu Han actually had this strength, but the Qin Dynasty was restrained in the north to help it was impossible to concentrate all its efforts against the Southern Barbarians, so the Qin Dynasty became a hurdle that Shu Han could not avoid.
"Can we have to wait until the Chu State destroys Wu, and the two countries will send troops to fight against the Southern Barbarians again?"
Liu Yu thought with great reluctance, but it was obviously not safe to do so. After all, with the Qin Dynasty providing supplies to the Southern Barbarians, the terrain of Yunzhou is extremely complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Before, the two countries and the two countries jointly sent troops, they failed to destroy the Southern Barbarians. Naturally, they could not guarantee that they would definitely destroy the Southern Barbarians.
As long as the Southern Barbarians cannot be destroyed, the road to expansion of Shu Han will be blocked, and there will be no way to increase national strength.
The originally powerful Shu Han, the second most powerful country in the world, unknowingly fell into a dilemma of no way out, but his mortal enemy, Daqin, would become stronger and stronger.
Liu Yu was both distressed and helpless about this foreseeable future. He was naturally unwilling to be eliminated like this. However, military advisor Su Qin offered another plan at this time, that is, to participate in the overseas colonization between the Wei, Song, Ming and Wu, get a piece of the pie and use colonial financial resources to restore the war damage. This proposal immediately made Liu Yu''s eyes lit up. After all, he was always paying attention to the colonization situation of various countries and knew how much benefit the colonization contained.
In order to allow the four countries of Wei, Song, Ming and Wu to accept Shu Han, Liu Yu even made a guarantee of not having territory and money, but even so, no country was willing to accept Shu Han.
At this point, Liu Yu''s dream of colonization was completely shattered. He wanted to send troops to plunder the South China Ocean, but was blocked by the Nanman General. He wanted to enter Yingzhou to make gold, but no country took him to play. He could only give up his extravagant hopes, honestly develop his internal affairs, and be sadly hurt by himself.
But what Liu Yu never expected was that he had given up on the idea of ??colonization. The local forces in Yingzhou, thousands of miles away, came to him to colonize him. This was simply outrageous, and it was outrageous.
Yizhou, Chengdu, outside the palace hall.
Indra Shitian''s only female disciple, Luo Xian, the **** of the Heavenly Gate, was waiting in the hall as an envoy of the Toyotomi family, waiting for the summons of the Han Emperor Liu Yu, and Cao Ying, the envoy of Cao Wei, was waiting with her.
Luo Xian comes from the TV series "Fengyun II", and his implanted identity is basically the same as before, while Cao Ying comes from the movie "Seeing the Dragon and Removing the Armor".
The bad movie "Seeing the Dragon to Removing Armor" is really outrageous. Cao Ying, as Cao Cao''s granddaughter, can actually play a role with Zhao Yun.
Even if Cao Ying fights against the elderly Zhao Yun, it is ridiculous enough, but what''s even more outrageous is that she falls in love with Zhao Yun, who can be his grandfather even at the age of age, which is really hard to complain about.
The identity of Cao Ying who was implanted after her birth naturally could not be Cao Cao''s granddaughter. After all, Cao Ang was only over twenty years old, so he was implanted into Cao Cao''s concubine daughter.
Cao Cao is naturally a lewd person, but there are six daughters who have been verified, including Cao Xian and Cao Jie, and there are naturally more that cannot be verified, while Cao Ying was implanted into one of the unrespected concubines.
Cao Cao actually does not have a strong sense of the concept of legitimate and illegitimate, and even his adopted son can be regarded as his own, but he still does not pay attention to the concubine''s daughter. If Cao Ying had not had a high talent in martial arts, he would probably have no impression of this daughter.
Seeing that the envoy of Cao Wei was a female cultivator like him, and had an extraordinary demeanor and a calm face, Luo Xian became curious about this heroic girl.
After learning that the other party was Cao Cao''s biological daughter, Luo Xian couldn''t help but sigh in his heart that the other party was not lucky.
After all, Cao Cao''s daughter, Cao Xian and Cao Jie, who were both the legitimate daughter, could marry Ying Hao and become the noble imperial concubine of the Qin Dynasty, but Cao Ying still had to work hard outside.
You should know that Cao Wei is not far from the destruction of the country, and the destruction of the princess will not end up being very good.
While Luo Xian was curious about Cao Ying, Cao Ying was also extremely curious about Luo Xian. After all, this woman was obviously a Han look and possessed a profound Taoist internal skill, but she was an envoy of Japan and had a sense of mystery all over her body. It was really hard not to feel curious.
"It seems that your Japanese country has a lot of hidden power in the Central Plains."
Hearing Cao Ying''s words, Luo Xian said without thinking: "No matter how young he is, he is not as good as your Cao Wei."
“…”
After thinking for a moment, Cao Ying continued to ask, "Do you say the Emperor of Han will believe us?"
After Luo Xian was silent for a moment, he said with some confidence: "It should be."
In fact, Cao Ying and Luo Xian’s biggest concern was not whether Shu Han would agree to send troops, but that Liu Yuxiang did not believe their identities. After all, from the perspective of Shu Han, this behavior of falling pies from the sky that came to the door to find slaughter obviously looks like a trap no matter how you look at it.
Even if they can prove their identities, they cannot prove that their identities are true. What if the Qin Dynasty intercepted them in advance and then used them to deceive Shu Han?
It would be fine if Shu Han could quickly confirm the authenticity, but the key to the problem is that it is not easy to verify. After all, Yizhou is thousands of miles away from Yanzhou alone, and even thousands of miles away from Yingzhou. After Shu Han has confirmed the authenticity, it may have been more than a month since this round and one trip.
There can be too many things happening in a month. The Sui Kingdom was destroyed by the Qin Dynasty within a month. God knows what the situation in Yingzhou will be in more than a month later?
Therefore, whether it was Luo Xian or Cao Ying, they all blamed their master (brother) for giving such a dangerous task to themselves. This was completely betting on Liu Yu''s courage.
If Liu Yu was just not brave enough and was unwilling to bet, it would be fine if he decided that they were made by the Qin Dynasty, then the two of them would definitely have been back this time.
The two women were not sure about this. After all, since the two of them showed their identities and expressed their intentions, Liu Yu not only did not summon the two of them immediately, but instead hung them outside the palace for two hours.
Of course, this is not because Liu Yu did not pay much attention to the two women, but because he could not confirm the authenticity of the matter, so he asked the two women to wait outside the hall first, while he summoned a group of strategists to discuss.
At this time, in the Shu Han Palace, the senior officials of Shu Han showed two completely different attitudes towards the arrival of Luoxian and Cao Ying.
There are naturally many strategic people among the senior officials of Shu Han. The authenticity of the two women is easy to confirm, but whether this is a trap of the Qin Dynasty is not so easy to distinguish.
But most people, including Liu Yu, chose to believe in the second daughter. After all, this matter itself is outrageous, and they do not think that Daqin will do this to deceive them.
