Iron Dynasty

"The King Yan is really cunning."

In the Qingzhou government office, Fiji is looking at the letter sent by Zhan Xingchang.

He just came back from Pengzhou yesterday, and now the Pengzhou City Government Office is officially in operation. Pengzhou Governor has taken over government affairs of all sizes, so he does not need to stay.

Pang Yukun said: "The King Yan wants to obtain matchlock gun technology, but also wants to contain us. It is really unpredictable, but he really gave us a problem."

Xiao Ming had a sullen face. The situation he least wanted to see appeared. Judging from King Yan's reaction, King Zhao would probably be very jealous of his annexation of Wei Di.

Sure enough, another ten days later, Zhan Xingchang returned from Chang'an with Zhao Wang's reply.

"His Royal Highness, now only King Liang has agreed to Xiao Qi's reunion, and the attitudes of King Zhao and King Yan are shaking, just waiting for our answer." Zhan Xingchang said.

"Then what are the conditions for King Zhao?" Xiao Ming asked.

Zhan Xingchang said: "After seeing King Zhao this time, King Zhao originally wanted to threaten His Royal Highness by collaborating, but when the next official mentioned the covenant with King Chu, King Zhao changed his mind. Ask your Highness not to continue to embezzle Wei Di."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and he continued: "This time Wang Wei also spent a lot of money to rescue soldiers. It is said that in order to recruit soldiers, he asked Xiao Qi to give Zhao Wang no eighty taels of silver, but now Zhao Wang and Shu Wang are fighting. I don't want to fight on both sides in my heart."

"So, now only King Liang is willing to send troops?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the most important thing now is the attitude of King Yan. If King Yan doesn't want to fight, this unity will basically fail."

Xiao Ming paced back and forth. Now the princes of Dayu are on their own. Every prince has its own interests, and no prince wants to see other princes too powerful.

If it hadn't been for his performance to be too strong, it is estimated that Wang Zhao would be the one who has been attacked.

After thinking about it carefully, he said to Zhan Xingchang: "In this case, we promised King Yan's condition to provide him with matchlock technology."

"His Royal Highness, it's just that, do we want to put aside the strategy of Wei Di?" Niu Ben is also in the mansion. He is very unhappy about this matter. Now the Southern Expedition Army and the Dengzhou Army are as powerful as a bamboo, this is exactly what they are pursuing by victory. time.

Fiji and Pang Yukun are both old foxes. They looked at each other and seemed to see through Xiao Ming's strategy.

"In order to avoid being besieged by Hezong, we can only temporarily agree to this condition, and now that we have Pengzhou City and Tongzhou City, we also need time to completely renovate these two places. Now King Wei has involved King Zhao, King Yan, and King Liang. It seems that this time a contract must be signed." Xiao Ming looked at Zhan Xingchang.

"His majesty has a great plan. Both King Yan and King Zhao proposed to send envoys to Qingzhou, so that the five envoys can sign the armistice contract in Qingzhou and maintain the status quo." Zhan Xingchang said in surprise.

Fiji said: "This incident reminds the lower officials of the Six Kingdoms' attack on Qin. This situation is quite similar to that of the past."

"Hahaha...So now we are strong Qin." Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun agreed: "Yes, because of this, these vassals are afraid that we will continue to be strong. This time His Royal Highness's attack on Wei Di seems to have really made them jealous. In this situation, even if Wei Wang does not send people together, I guess the other princes can't sit still."

"What Pang Shoufu said is that this king is also ready to plan after seeing this point. Since they want a contract, we will give them. After Pengzhou and Tongzhou stabilize, we will continue to win other cities in Weidi." Xiao Ming said loudly.

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and now the initiative to attack or defend is in their hands.

Nowadays, Pengzhou has a population of 500,000 and Tongzhou has a population of 200,000. Now they only need time to recruit soldiers from the two places to train into an army. Once they add another 50,000 troops, then even King Zhao, King Liang, King Wei, King Yan They are not afraid to stand up.

Niu Ben sighed. He said, "It's just that the final general still feels at a loss. If we sign this Laoshi sub-contract, wouldn't it be that King Wei will attack us, and we can't beat him."

"This cattle governor is at ease. Since the contract is to be signed, this king naturally wants them to recognize our occupation of Pengzhou and Tongzhou, and this king has an idea. Maybe we can take the opportunity to take Huaizhou!"

Xiao Ming already had a plan in his mind, and then he told the plan to Pang Yukun and others.

After listening to the crowd, Fiji looked astonished. He said: "I didn't expect the text to be able to come in this way. The officials are really knowledgeable. If this is the case, Wei Wang and the other vassals are really miserable."

Xiao Ming smiled and nodded.

This time it was not Xiao Ming's counseling to sign this armistice agreement. In fact, even if the four kings attacked, he would not necessarily lose, but he never forgot that the barbarians had been staring at the changes in Great Yu Kingdom.

At that time, even if he had won, he would have won tragically, and the Four Kings would have suffered heavy losses, and this situation was exactly what the barbarians hope to see most.

Once this happens, he will no longer have enough energy to deal with the real enemy of the country.

Therefore, at this time, he must avoid Wang Wei's co-indulgence. After all, he has already taken advantage of it now, and only needs to digest the fruits of victory.

When his strength is further enhanced, Wei Di will be completely annexed in a very short time, making King Yan and others too late to react.

As for now, he still needs time to digest the land and population he has seized~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the most important thing is that he is preparing to seize an overseas food supply area, which is currently controlled by the Japanese Kingdom of Three Mountains.

In this era, the big island opposite Fuzhou was called Ryukyu, and a series of islands from Ryukyu to Wa was called the Three Mountains Kingdom, which is later Okinawa and nearby islands.

According to the information provided by Wang Xuan, the Three Mountains Kingdom has a population of 200,000. Now the Three Mountains Kingdom is forced to pay tribute to the Wa Kingdom and provide a large amount of food to Yamada Nobunaga every year. During the time when Yamada Nobunaga ruled the Wa Kingdom, the food provided by the Three Mountains Kingdom helped. Nobunaga Yamada is busy.

In contemporary history, successive dynasties missed the opportunity to regain the kingdom twice. Xiao Ming doesn't want to miss it now. Besides, is this a place where food can be provided for free?

Therefore, Xiao Ming also considered this aspect of the signing of the armistice contract. The supply of food was stable, and he would not worry about logistics in the future.

After agreeing on the matter, Xiao Ming said to Zhan Xingchang: "This time you will be responsible for it to the end. You will inform them now that the king has agreed to their terms and asked them to send an envoy to Qingzhou to talk."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhan Xingchang said with a bow.
