Chapter 466 Shen Changgong: 5 Country Chickens and Dogs
"Prime Minister, please tell us in detail how to persuade the Qian Kingdom."
The Imperial Censor said quickly.
The Prime Minister smiled and said,
“I have heard that this year some Kun people in the territory of Yan State used a cult to launch a rebellion, which was suppressed by Lanling King Shen Changgong.
However, more than 100,000 people died in Yan State. Shen Changgong has always held a grudge against this matter. It is said that the result of their investigation was that Qian State was secretly supporting the cult.
This old minister also heard that some time ago, two rebel forces suddenly emerged in the territory of Qian State, started a rebellion, attacked cities and seized land, and are now being besieged by the central army of Qian State. It seems that there is someone supporting them from behind.
Isn't this Yan State's way of giving others a taste of their own medicine?
Also, a month ago, the Sixth Prince of Daqian and the Prime Minister were ambushed by a roadside assassin while they were visiting a garden together.
Those assassins did not use swords, guns, bows and arrows, but a kind of divine thunder that could kill a large area of people.
The Sixth Prince and the Prime Minister were blown to pieces.
As everyone knows, the divine thunder is something that only the Yan State has.
Shen Changgong was a young and hot-tempered man who took revenge overnight. After Qian State attacked Yan State, he immediately sent people to retaliate against Qian State. This was very reasonable.
So now, the Qian Kingdom also hates the Yan Kingdom to the core.
The Chu and Chuan countries were almost unwavering in obeying the orders of the Qian State and dared not disobey.
As long as Qian Kingdom agrees, we will have won over the three countries.
Only Wei remains. I think they are bordering Yan. Emperor Cao De of Wei must be having trouble sleeping, right?
After hearing this, all the ministers suddenly understood.
Even the Grand Marshal, who had always opposed the Prime Minister, could not help but nod his head.
"The Prime Minister's words are brilliant, Your Majesty. We must immediately send envoys to the other four countries to persuade them and invite the Qian Kingdom to be the leader of the alliance.
As long as Qian State takes the lead, then as the leader of the alliance, they will definitely send the most troops. By then, even if one of the five countries sends 400,000 troops, it will be a full 2 million troops. A spit from each person can drown the Yan State!
Yan State has not yet completely mastered the Qi and Liang regions. It will take at least one or two years to master and digest them. We have plenty of time to do this."
Upon hearing this, all the ministers nodded.
The Qin Emperor also thought this matter was very reliable.
“Okay, then it’s settled.
I hereby declare and order Bai Wuan to immediately lead the expeditionary force back to the country, plunder all the food, fodder, gold and silver from Xingqing Prefecture and bring them here, and then station them on the border to prepare for defense.
Immediately send envoys to the other four countries to persuade them to form an alliance with us and vigorously publicize the dangers of Yan State.
Qian State is the most important, Dianke, you go there in person."
"I will obey your orders!"
……
Two days later.
morning.
Linzi.
Shen Changgong, who was in charge of the imperial study, was still integrating intelligence from various places and planning the money, food and other supplies needed for the expedition.
Then, Gongsun Wan'er walked in hurriedly.
"what happened?"
Shen Changgong said without raising his head.
"Two things."
After Gongsun Wan'er sat down, she said seriously,
“First, Guan Shouchang’s troops completely wiped out the Qi army and asked us what to do next.
The second thing is very important.
The official we bribed in the Qin State brought back a very important piece of information.
On the Qin side, they ordered Bai Wuan to lead the army back to the country for defense, and at the same time sent envoys to other countries to persuade the five countries to form an alliance and attack us together.
Yesterday, Bai Wuan led his troops back home."
These pieces of news made Shen Changgong stunned. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and chuckled, saying,
"The Five-Nation Alliance is nothing to worry about; they have ulterior motives and are a loose collection of loose sand.
The generals of the army of the same country may not be of the same standard, let alone five countries. They are fine when the wind is favorable, but they will fall into chaos when they encounter unfavorable winds.
Let Qin State do whatever it wants. If the five countries dare to come, I don’t mind teaching them a lesson.
Send a message to Lao Guan, asking him to lead his troops south to station at the border between Liang and Qin to ensure defense. The court will send officials to take over the government affairs of Liang.
Bai Wuan's retreat back to the country should be true, and he would not set an ambush along the way.
But I also want to remind Lao Guan that it is best to be careful when marching."
Gongsun Wan'er thought for a moment and said,
"Then are we still going to support Guan Shouchang?"
After Shen Changgong pondered for a moment, he said
"It is clear that Qin does not want to engage in war with our country. We have not yet dealt with Qi and Liang, so it is not appropriate to start a war again.
While they are forming alliances, we must also seize the time to recruit soldiers, produce weapons, and wait for the decisive battle with the five countries, rather than rashly going deep into Qin and prolonging the battle line, which would be inappropriate.
Don’t go to support or pursue them for now. Just settle down and wait for the decisive battle to come.
Once we defeat the Five-Nation Alliance, it will be time to march south and wipe them out.
I was worried before that I had no legitimate reason to do so, but now they have brought it to me on their own initiative, so why shouldn’t I accept it with joy?
After a while, we will send troops together, head south to destroy Tong Xuan, and take control of the entire territory of Qi as soon as possible.
I will inform King Nan and His Majesty of this decision."
"okay, I get it."
Gongsun Wan'er chuckled and looked at Shen Changgong infatuatedly.
"What are you doing? Get back to work. You're in heat again."
Shen Changgong rolled his eyes at her.
"No, I just think you're so handsome. You don't even take the Five Nations Alliance seriously. That's amazing."
"Haha, the more forces unite, the more fragmented they become. There's no need to worry about them."
Shen Changgong recalled the historical events when eighteen princes led an expedition against Dong Zhuo. However, they all harbored ulterior motives, some wanting to advance, some wanting to preserve their strength, and the one in charge of food and grass even blocked the front-line troops' efforts, ultimately leading to failure.
Now it seems that the so-called five countries are probably similar to that.
They only need to prepare their troops and actively prepare for war, and they will be able to deal a heavy blow to the five countries.
All are equal under the gunfire.
Gongsun Wan'er sat on a chair and first sent someone to tell the King of Nan in the military camp outside the city. Then she began to write a memorial to report the matter to the empress.
Although the King of the South attaches great importance to government affairs, he does not like to deal with them.
He took a few beautiful women and hid in the military camp early, leaving Shen Changgong alone to handle government affairs with the civil servants.
The civil servants sent by the Yan court were still on the way, so Shen Changgong had to take on the responsibility again and manage the political affairs of Qi together with Liu Fugui and others.
Gongsun Wan'er said as she wrote,
"The Five-Nation Alliance is no small matter. What if the imperial court panics? They might send people to negotiate peace with the enemy."
Hearing this, Shen Changgong sneered,
"Negotiation? Your Majesty would not do such a foolish thing, and I would not agree to it. If you really send an envoy to negotiate peace, I will first stop the envoy and chop him down, and then go to Shengjing to ask Your Majesty if she still wants to be the emperor."
