"That's right. Luo will not sit idly by and watch Xiling and Jin fall into the hands of Daqian. Once Jin and Xiling fall into the hands of Daqian, Luo will be mostly surrounded by Daqian, so they will definitely divide their troops to attack the two countries, or send reinforcements to the two countries."
"But if they send reinforcements, won't we have to face Luo, Jin and Xiling at the same time?" Emperor Qianwu still felt that Xie Jingchi's idea was crazy.
Xie Jingchi said in a deep voice: "The land of Luo State is barren. In recent years, it has been fighting to support the war. It has also plundered Xiling and Jin State. Xiling is rich in minerals, and Jin State is adjacent to the sea and has abundant resources. Your Majesty, do you think Luo State will take advantage of the situation to rob or help?"
"Besides, no matter what choice Luo Guo makes, it actually makes no difference to us."
Even if Luo State joins forces with Xiling and Jin State, they will have to divide their troops and send them to the two countries. In this way, the battle line will be extended and the pressure on Yancheng can be reduced.
"Moreover, the two countries have their own ulterior motives when they join forces. Xiling and Jin will certainly be on guard against Luo taking the opportunity to encroach on them. How can they work together?"
Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but nod, he had a deep understanding of this point.
Only when the two sides are evenly matched can they be called a team.
Therefore, Luo, Jin, and Xiling must all want to deplete each other's military strength. If a real fight breaks out, they will all have their own selfish motives and only want to deplete the other side's military strength.
"You're right."
Xie Jingchi said: "Luo State is not like Daqian State, and is even less capable of supporting a long-term war. Xiling and Jin State will probably not be willing to provide too much food and grass."
"As long as we take the opportunity to instigate relations between several countries, we can cause a civil war."
Xie Jingchi's eyes were full of madness. If he wanted to fight, he would drag everyone into it.
Emperor Qianwu turned around and looked at the man in front of him with a burning gaze, and he also felt his heart moved.
Presumably, neither Luo State, Jin State, nor Xiling would have thought of their style of play.
Xie Jingchi's eyes were deep, but it was a pity that Shen Shuyi was not there at the moment.
Otherwise, you must give a shout out to Xie Jingchi.
"What about Yancheng? What do you think, Yancheng?" Emperor Qianwu turned around again and his eyes fell in the direction of Yancheng.
Daqian’s ultimate opponent is still Luo State.
"After transferring the garrison troops against Jin State and Xiling to the Xuan Ce Army in Yancheng, transfer 30,000 Longxiang troops to Yancheng for support."
Emperor Qianwu said nothing and looked carefully at the map of the territory in front of him.
The Longxiong Army is the garrison army in the capital, but it is also the army he trusts the most.
After a long silence, Emperor Qianwu said slowly: "You are going to break up the Lu family's military power into pieces and completely disperse it."
"I cannot believe what the Lu family did." Xie Jingchi said decisively.
"What do you think about Zhao Qi serving as the chief general?" asked Emperor Qianwu.
"But, Mr. Zhao is still strong and healthy. The Zhao family has been silent for many years. Now is the time for them to make achievements." Xie Jingchi gave an affirmative answer.
"I'm afraid the Yuanxia Kingdom will be ready to make a move. The court doesn't have much food and grass right now, so it may be difficult to support a multi-front war." Emperor Qianwu asked.
Xie Jingchi said again: "Your Majesty, rest assured. Yuanxia Kingdom does not know that King Canglang is in Beijing, so they dare not act rashly. Even if they take the opportunity to test him, King Canglang already has a plan to deal with the enemy."
Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu's eyes were filled with relief.
He turned around, looked at the man in front of him who was taller than him, and whispered, "Are you planning to go to Yancheng this time?"
Xie Jingchi shook his head: "There are still some things I haven't figured out."
Emperor Qianwu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you have your own ideas."
"I suggest that the court should purchase grain at high prices, issue honorary positions, buy grain from the people in the court, and exchange grain with neighboring countries at high prices or in exchange for silk and porcelain, so as to quickly store grain in the shortest possible time."
"Just do as you say." Emperor Qianwu nodded.
The so-called issuance of honorary positions was an act of selling official positions tacitly approved by the court. It was the selling of some insignificant noble identities, which made those who had money and food and were trying their best to join the nobility spend silver and food to buy identities.
These identities do not have real power, but they can transform them into superior people.
For the court, there was no loss, but for them, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"In addition, I suggest that corrupt officials be investigated strictly to fill the national treasury."
"That's right." After that, Emperor Qianwu said, "What you said is similar to what Master Mingde said."
After that, Emperor Qianwu told Xie Jingchi about what Prince Mingde said in the letter about purchasing Luo State’s weapons at a high price.
Xie Jingchi narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, this plan is very vicious."
Emperor Qianwu smiled and said, "I think so too."
They, Daqian, purchased Luo's weapons at a high price, but they were afraid that the royal family and the people of Luo would become complacent, thinking that Daqian's weapons were inferior to theirs.
But once the people of Luo State are busy smelting weapons, the already scarce farming land will inevitably be abandoned.
But the neighboring Xiling and Jin States were both at war, so who would lend or sell grain to them?
In other words, by then the Luo Kingdom will have a lot of silver in its hands, but will have nowhere to buy food. Although the people will have silver in their hands, there will be starving people everywhere in the Luo Kingdom, and the food will be sold at a sky-high price.
But this situation takes time and cannot be accomplished overnight.
"Your Majesty, you can not only buy weapons, but also horses. Horses are expensive and farmers are cheap. If everyone raises horses, the same effect can be achieved." Xie Jingchi said in a deep voice.
"That's right. It just so happens that Daqian is short of horses. If the war continues in the next few years, we will definitely need a lot of war horses."
Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Jingchi stood up and said goodbye.
Emperor Qianwu's eyes fell on his forehead which was wrapped in fine cloth, and he said in a deep voice: "How is the injury on your head?"
Xie Jingchi looked respectful: "It's nothing serious, it's just that the injuries are compounded, the old injuries haven't healed yet, and new injuries have been added."
Emperor Qianwu grabbed the inkstone on the table and wanted to throw it at Xie Jingchi: "You really are!"
Xie Jingchi sighed: "My life is miserable."
Emperor Qianwu stopped, unable to do anything about him, and said coldly: "Let someone go to my private storehouse and pick out a few treasures for you, take them and get out of here."
Xie Jingchi smiled: "I don't want the ugly ones."
"Get out."
"I don't want any minister who is not valuable."
Emperor Qianwu was angry: "Are there any ordinary items in my private storehouse?"
Xie Jingchi: "Do you have a nice jade bracelet?"
"You are a grown man, why are you wearing a jade bracelet..." Emperor Qianwu stopped talking before he finished scolding. He stared at her and asked, "What's going on between you and the girl from the Shen family?"
Xie Jingchi raised his eyebrows: "I like her."
His frankness choked Emperor Qianwu so much that he held his breath for a long time before he could calm down.
"Does she know..."
Before Emperor Qianwu finished speaking, Xie Jingchi interrupted him: "I don't know."
Emperor Qianwu frowned, as if considering it seriously. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Your status is too low."
Xie Jingchi's eyes were deep and frivolous: "Then you will make her a princess? Or give her an imperial decree when the time comes?"
Emperor Qianwu was furious: "Get out! What do you think you are? You can confer a title on her just by saying so! And you want her to be given an imperial decree? How old is she, and she has already been given an imperial decree! You really dare to think so!"
