Chapter 247: Three Strategies of Miao De
There are many countries in Heniuzhou, among which the strongest ones include Dashi, Shiyu, Chetuo, Yingdu and other seven countries.
If we put it in the past, even if Chetuo relied on strong soldiers and horses, in terms of the people in the territory, he was only at the bottom of the Seven Kingdoms. Now it is nothing but a big success, and it is okay for King Chetuo to be arrogant.
Understood.
However, there is no room for others to sleep on the side of the couch.
The Muliao Kingdom was sandwiched between the Chetuo Kingdom, the Dashi Kingdom, and the Shiyu Kingdom. It was not known for its strong national power. The reason why it was able to last for hundreds of years was simply because the three countries were afraid of each other and deliberately borrowed money from each other.
The territory of Muliao Kingdom was just a buffer.
Nowadays, King Chetuo, with the power of victory, has proclaimed himself emperor in an unprecedented manner. It is impossible for Dashi Kingdom and Shiyu Kingdom not to be alert.
Without the barrier of the Muliao Kingdom, the three countries are bordering each other. If the Chetuo Kingdom wants to fight everywhere, it must consider whether there is a risk of having its home stolen.
King Chetuo's expression suddenly changed, obviously thinking of this.
"What does the prince teach me?"
Looking at the handsome and handsome prince in front of him, who looked like a banished immortal, for the first time King Chetuo thought about whether he was getting old.
"I don't dare to teach you, but I have some experience. It's just a matter of making friends from far away and attacking close by, building high walls, hoarding grain and grass, and slowly becoming emperor."
Pei Miaode saw that King Chetuo's expression became more relaxed, so he spoke again.
This is already the best plan he can give based on some insights from his previous life.
"What's the explanation?"
King Chetuo seemed to be thoughtful, but he still asked Pei Miaode.
"Distant diplomacy and close attack naturally don't require much explanation from my sons. This is the strategy Chetuo Kingdom has always implemented. The so-called building a wall high, hoarding grain widely, and slowly proclaiming the emperor means that the father and the king use neighboring countries as a wall to accumulate strength until they can conquer it in one fell swoop.
Destroy one of the two."
"What does King Father think of the current King of Food and King Shiyu?"
The relationship between father and son was not in court, so naturally there was no need for so many etiquettes. Pei Miaode also found a chair and sat down.
"I see that the current Great Food King is headstrong and arrogant and rarely speaks to others. Unlike the Ming King, the Lion King is cowardly and has no courage. He is just a dead bone in the tomb, so he is not worthy of fear."
When King Chetuo said this, he suddenly understood what Pei Miaode meant.
"Then my father thinks that if Chetuo goes to war with the Dashi Kingdom in the future, will King Shiyu have the courage to backstab my Chetuo?"
Pei Miaode smiled slightly.
"I borrow that child's courage, but he may not dare to do this important thing of taking chestnuts from the fire. I understand what you mean. Although Dashi is strong, if I attack Dashi, King Shiyu may not have the courage to send troops. But if I attack Shiyu, Dashi will be defeated."
The food king will definitely send troops."
"If I want to destroy one of them, it will be a big disaster!"
"So using neighbors as walls means asking me to pay a lot of money to bribe King Shi Yu so that he will see the small gains and forget the big harm, and serve as a barrier to the west for you and my father."
King Chetuo held up his palms and praised.
"My father is truly as wise as a torch, and my sons and ministers are as good as far away!"
Pei Miaode gave a small flattery and continued.
"As for accumulating grain and grass, and delaying the title of emperor, I want my father to show weakness to the enemy and return the Liangzhou County in the southwest of Muliao Kingdom, which has the most borders with Shiyu Kingdom and Dashi Kingdom. This is not only the time to win the results of the destructive war, but also
Put the heart of King Shi Yu at ease."
"There are also loyal and wise people in the Shiyu Kingdom. Over time, the tricks of my subordinates will not be fooled by their eyes. Therefore, if you want to destroy Dashi, you must do your best in one battle and win quickly."
"It's just a matter of not fighting. One fight will determine the outcome. The longer it is delayed, the easier it is for variables to arise."
King Chetuo twirled his beard. He knew the truth. He just wanted to return the prefectures and counties that the soldiers had defeated through life and death. King Chetuo couldn't overcome this hurdle.
"Father, a gentleman has some tolerance and some intolerance. This is also a necessary sacrifice for the great reunification of the Chetuo Kingdom. I hope my father understands!"
After all the words had laid the groundwork, Pei Miaode finally came up with the idea and came up with the concept of great unity.
"Great unity!"
King Chetuo's eyes flickered. Which monarch could refuse the alluring word of great unity?
"I will listen to you for once! Miaode, don't let your father down!"
After worrying about gain and loss for a long time, King Chetuo finally gritted his teeth and made the final decision.
"Mu Liao was unethical and treated the people like grass. He insulted the envoys of the superior country. My younger brother sent a large army to attack them. He wanted to destroy his clan and returned Shuo Gangchang. My younger brother heard that Shanggucheng was his brother's deceased kinsman, so he returned him respectfully."
"I also remember the majesty of the royal family and must not be humiliated. I will return it to Liangzhou County to serve the royal family. I would like to pass it on to you!"
The courage shown by King Chetuo far exceeded Pei Miaode's imagination.
Not only did he return a county to the Muliao royal family as a territory to support his clan's children, but he also handed the highly controversial hot yam to King Shiyu.
Shanggu City has always been a disputed enclave between the Dashi Kingdom, the Muliao Kingdom, and the Shiyu Kingdom.
It can be said that whoever controls this place is equivalent to controlling the portals of the other two hinterlands. In the past, it was supposed to be the territory of Shiyu Kingdom, but it was stolen by Muliao. Dashi can be said to have put in a lot of effort.
Now King Chetuo has done something wrong and returned this place to Shiyu. It can be said that he has no good intentions.
But even if King Shi Yu knew that it was a piece of honey dipped in arsenic, he would still swallow it. What better bribe could there be than a battleground for military strategists?
And King Chetuo's move killed two birds with one stone.
If the Shiyu Kingdom wants to completely occupy this military enclave, it will need the support of the Chetuo Kingdom.
With the Shiyu Kingdom at the front, the Chetuo Kingdom can safely digest the victory achieved in this battle.
"It's best if my father thinks so. Today's shame will be repaid a hundredfold by King Shi Yu in the future."
Pei Miaode protects the king of Chetuo.
"Don't think that your father is the kind of person who values his face more than anything else. As long as it's for Che Tuo, it's not a bad idea to ask others to treat the child as a father, not to mention calling him a brother."
King Chetuo didn't take it seriously.
Now King Shiyu is a whole generation younger than him, but he still calls himself his younger brother as if nothing has happened.
Because King Chetuo knew that these were all false things, and that the most important thing between countries was strength. He could find any excuse to destroy Muliao just because Muliao was a weak country.
Once Chetuo engulfs Dashi, Shiyu will be the next to suffer.
At that time, King Shi Yu will naturally pay back this humiliation a thousand times a hundred times.
The father and son finalized the strategy and worked overtime to deliver a letter of credence to King Shi Yu before the ministers of the two countries could discuss the outcome.
King Shiyu was about to be persuaded by the main war faction in the country to send troops to seek justice for the Muliao Kingdom.
However, when he saw the generous conditions put forward by King Chadha, he was immediately convinced.
Without him, King Chetuo really gave too much!
