Age of mythical princes

Chapter 414 Zhuge Liang lives in Pingwu Road
"We can imagine this situation, and so can the big countries."

"Therefore, major countries will definitely try every means to strengthen cooperation. The stronger we are, the stronger and deeper our cooperation will be."

"We can work hard to stop and delay, but we cannot expect to be able to delay it forever."

"If we can delay it for 100 years, even if they unite sincerely, we will still be sure to dominate the world."

"If we can wait until 200 years later, even if they are united like a family, we can easily conquer the world."

"So, how to delay next is the most important thing."

"It is not appropriate to directly engage in large-scale wars with other big countries, but it is necessary to provoke small countries to charge forward."

"The next thing we have to do is to set the rules. What Young Master Si wants to do is actually to set the rules."

“We support big countries if they don’t fight, and we don’t support big countries invading small countries.”

"They want to destroy small countries and strengthen themselves, so let's strengthen small countries."

"When necessary, it is acceptable for our Yancheng army to put on the clothes of a small country and compete with major countries."

Having said this, Wu Qi sat down.

In Wu Qi's view, even if it is necessary to send out the army, even if it is shameless, as long as it can really delay time, then it can be done.To sum up, it is to delay time, continue to develop, and promote the world.

Zhuge Liang waved his hand, and a map of the world appeared in front of everyone: "The countries are not united, and their intentions are not consistent."

"So, it is actually easy to break the alliance of princes and disintegrate the possible alliance of princes!"

With that said, Zhuge Liang took the goose feather fan and started pointing at the map to explain his views.

"The major countries in the world today are nothing more than Chu, Qi, Jin, Qin, Wu, and Yan."

"Even in the worst situation, there are at most five enemies."

"Two ways come from the sea, and three ways come from the land."

"The worst situation is that the navy of Tian family and Yan State will move from the north to the south. This is the first way."

"The navy of Chu and Wu went north from the south. This is the second route."

"The allied forces of Jin and Qi attacked Yancheng from Song, Zheng and other places. This is the third route."

"The allied forces of Chu, Wu, and Qin attacked Yancheng from Wu's territory. This is the fourth route."

"The allied forces of Chu, Wu, and Qin attacked Yue and the south of Yue from the southern jungles and Chu's territory. This is the fifth route."

"Even the worst-case scenario is nothing more than this. It does seem very critical. Although the six countries combined, the army does not have tens of millions, but if you grit your teeth, you can still get fifty or six million. It looks a bit scary, But if you look closely, it’s nothing more than that!”

"In a short period of time, the six countries may be able to unite sincerely, but over time, problems will inevitably arise, which requires certain diplomatic strategies, such as distant diplomacy and close attack."

"For the nearby vassal states, we deliberately suppress their industrial development. For the distant vassal states, we will support their industrial development to a certain extent. We can even interfere with the industrial layout of various countries and cause them to suffer consequences due to industrial development. contradiction."

"For example, we can support the development of the Qin State. When the Qin State develops to a certain level, it can either attack the Chu State from the Bashu land, or it can only attack Hangu Pass."

"The three families of Han, Zhao and Wei can still be united at the moment, but sooner or later they will separate."

"If they still dare to fight among themselves now, they will definitely be seized of the opportunity, and both Jin and them will be finished. Therefore, it is the best choice for them to peacefully separate their families at this moment."

"After the separation, Hangu was locked up in the territory of the Wei family."

"In the past, the Qin State could not defeat the Jin State, and attacking Hangu Pass would only result in the loss of troops and generals."

"But in the future, as long as Qin is willing to continue attacking Hangu Pass, we will support it."

"In short, it is to support the development of Qin. After Qin develops to a certain level, it will either attack Chu or Wei."

"The State of Qin is the troublemaker we bribed."

"Even if Qin is properly strengthened, it doesn't matter."

Even after Qin's reforms by Shang Yang, it is still relatively backward.

In terms of foundation, it is not as good as Chu State.In terms of national strength, the land of Bashu is still unknown for how long it will be developed, and in terms of various advanced industries, it is even more useless.Except for the poor and powerful soldiers of the Qin State, they basically have no significant specialties in other aspects.

Zhuge Liang's idea was to use Yancheng's goods to bribe the poor Qin State. As long as the poor devil was willing to attack the Wei family and the Chu State, then everything would be easy.

As for whether the Qin State will agree, as long as the Marquis of Qin is not a fool, he will know that even if the destruction of Yancheng is good for the Qin State, it will also be good for the future. The future benefits are not necessarily certain and can easily be wasted.

But Yancheng's bribery is a ready-made benefit. You can get it now by just nodding your head.

Needless to say which one to choose between the present benefits and the future benefits?
"After the Qin State takes over Wei's Hangu Pass, it will be time to think about taking over the Central Plains."

"At that time, the three clans of Han, Zhao and Wei will have to be on guard against Qin every day." "But what if Qin is unwilling? What if they just take the benefits and do nothing?" Han Xin suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang pointed at the map, and the map came to the north: "Now that the Marquis of Yan is dead, Prince Dan is about to succeed. We have bribed Prince Pill for so many years, and it is time to let Prince Pill play some role."

"Let Prince Dan attack the Zhao family, so that in the future the Zhao family's army can only defend Yan."

Xiao He nodded immediately: "Even if Prince Dan succeeds to the throne, his foundation is still in the Black Earth Plain. Our Yancheng account for at least half of the Black Earth Plain today. If Prince Dan wants to continue to develop, no, even if he wants to To maintain the status quo, we must maintain a good cooperative relationship with us."

"So, we just need to show our strength and sincerity a little, and Prince Dan will make the right decision."

For Prince Dan, the development of Yancheng and the unification of the world are threats in the future.The Zhao family grew stronger and annexed the Yan Kingdom, which was now a threat.

It is actually not difficult to choose between these two threats.

Therefore, Prince Yan Dan had no choice.

He can only serve as a pawn in Yancheng. If you want to blame him, just blame the Yan State for being so weak.

"Although the strength of Yan State may not be as good as that of the Zhao family, it can still delay the main force of the Zhao family for a period of time."

"As for the time when the Yan State sends troops, it depends on the time when the Han family takes action against the Zheng State."

"The Han family is bordered by the State of Zheng. The Han family has coveted the State of Zheng for more than a day or two. They will soon attack the State of Zheng. At that time, the main force of the Han family is in the State of Zheng."

With the secret support of Yancheng, Zheng Guo can at least resist for a while.

"The main forces of the Han family and the Zhao family are not in the country, and only the Wei family is left. How can the Marquis of Qin not be tempted?"

Unless the Qin State changes its vegetarian diet from now on, it will really become a good person for peaceful development.

However, Qin's system dictates that war must be launched. If it does not launch a war for a long time, Qin itself will be doomed.

After finally encountering a suitable opportunity, Zhuge Liang did not believe that the Marquis of Qin was not interested.

"Although the State of Lu and the State of Song are not as good as the State of Qi, under the premise that we dispatch part of the main force to contain the State of Qi, and with our material support, the two countries can live for a few more decades, 100 years or even 200 years. There is hope."

"The Yan State in the past was not as good as the Zhao family. Today, the Yan State has cultivated the black soil plain. When the black soil plain is developed, it will be able to compete with the Zhao State and successfully hold the Zhao family back."

"If Qin wants to go east, it can at least hold back the Wei family and make it impossible for the Wei family to do anything."

"The Han family wants to annex Zheng State, doesn't Chu State not want it?"

"The whole world knows the greed of Chu State."

"The hatred between Chu and Jin has lasted for millions of years. Doesn't Chu want to conquer the Central Plains?"

"The fear of us is temporary, but the conflicts within countries are permanent."

"Next, we only need to support Qin's idea of ​​Hangu Pass and support the continuation of the great vassal states such as Lu, Song, Zheng, and Wei, and we will be able to develop stably."

Make friends with distant enemies and attack close ones, and support those large vassal states that have not obtained Jiuding. This is Zhuge Liang's plan in the face of possible five enemy armies.

Qin and Yan became powerful, and the first ones to be unlucky were Chu, Wei, Zhao, and Qi.

As long as Qin and Yan take advantage of Yancheng, other countries' trust in these two countries will be reduced.

Sincere unity suddenly became impossible.

As for the big countries that have obtained Jiuding, although they are stronger, there is still a price to pay for activating Jiuding.Using other large vassal states and Yancheng to intervene occasionally, it can be delayed.

As for how long it can be delayed, we can only do our best and listen to fate.

Soon, everyone spoke one after another, and finally Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, yes, what everyone said is very good."

"Every aspect, including government affairs, military affairs, and strength, has been taken into consideration by everyone. What Gu wanted to say has been said by everyone, so I won't say more here."

"After thinking about it, I will just say one thing." At this point, Jiang Hua raised his index finger, and everyone immediately held their breath and pricked up their ears, very curious.

"It is difficult to conquer the world, but it is even harder to govern the world."

"From now on, when you have free time, or when you are bored, you can also think about how we should govern the world when the world is unified in the future."

"Today's Yancheng just needs to develop according to your ideas. Although it is not easy to dominate the world, it is something that is just around the corner."

After conquering the world, we must govern the world well.

Some people are good at conquering the world, but not good at governing it. 1
"Governing the world is a big problem. Different regions have to adapt measures to local conditions. But adapting measures to local conditions is simple to say, but not easy to do at all."

"Of course, this problem is still far away. You can just think about it occasionally. The current focus should still be on how to develop and how to unify the world."
