The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 145 Small Fish Eat Shrimp
Nanchuanzhou was plagued by locusts, and there was no grain harvest. It was normal for the imperial court of the Qiang Kingdom to send people to Nanchuanzhou.

The only abnormal thing is that the people from the imperial court of the Qiang Kingdom did not arrive when the disaster happened and the displaced people were displaced. Now the situation is basically stable, and they came just in time for Li Dingshan's rebellion and Zhanghuai floods, which caused the political situation in southern Xinjiang to be chaotic. when open.

The disaster victims in Nanchuanzhou went south, and the person suspected of Wen Zhemao went from the imperial court of Qiang Kingdom to Nanchuanzhou...

His heart is clearly revealed.

"How is the situation in Gulou Township?"

Yan Qing asked a question, but then paused, and before Meng Shulan could answer, he preempted the conversation, "The disaster victims in Nanchuanzhou went south, saying they were going to the imperial court of the Qiang Kingdom to find an explanation from the leader of the Qiang Kingdom, but on the southwest border, they were We found traces of Qiang refugees."

In the past, Meng Shulan was her military adviser. She used to like to inquire about his situation and give orders to him, but she forgot that now he is the commander-in-chief of a border, and her status is already higher than her own, and she probably won't have much energy to care about the people in the south. thing.

Instead of asking one more question, which is useless, it is better to tell him everything that is useful, so that he knows what to do.

"Blind Forest is eye-catching. There is no change for the time being. If there is any news, it will be notified to the joint defense camp as soon as possible. The new emperor of the Qiang Kingdom ascends the throne, which coincides with the unsettled civil strife in Wu'an and the addition of natural disasters. He will definitely want to take a bite of it." of."

Yan Qing solemnly said to Meng Shulan, "If Wen Zhemao really shows up in Nanchuanzhou, I am afraid that he will face at that time, in addition to the Qiang Kingdom, there is also the Xirong who is not dead."

Li Dingshan's rebellion eventually brought endless troubles to Wu'an.

Meng Shulan understood what Yan Qing meant, and it was to tell him to be wary of the Qiang people moving the tiger away from the mountains—to start a war in Huailin and lure him to mobilize troops from the western border, but he took the opportunity to go straight to the western border.

Although Xi Rong made a friendly agreement with Wu'an in the previous battle, if Wen Zhemao invites troops to Xi Rong, the Xi Rong people who have never been convinced will just have a reason to make a comeback, and even have an excuse to shut the mouth of the world—— They were at the invitation of Prince Wu'an to wipe out the traitors for him and rescued the coerced Emperor Wu'an, and they were practicing the friendly agreement with Wu'an.

As for what the truth is, that is something written by the victors.

And the Xirong people repeatedly invaded Wu'an, not for a small piece of Wu'an.

Wu'an, which is less than half the size of Xirong, is just a stubborn city in the eyes of Xirong.

What they really want is a richer girder to the east.

The border of the western region extends directly from the snow-capped mountains to Wu'an, the sea area, and it happens to lie between Xirong and Daliang.

Wu'an is a thorn stuck in the throat of Xirong wild wolves, preventing them from eating meat.

If they want to eat meat, they either swallow the thorn whole and designate Wu'an as the city of Xirong; Garrison troops in Wu'an.

For Wu'an, there is essentially no big difference, but for Xirong, the latter is more cost-effective.

Wu'an is a hard bone, and swallowing it hard will hurt the muscles and bones.

Daliang is not a soft persimmon, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. If Wu'an really can't stand it anymore, it would be a good thing for Xirong and Wu'an to lose both and send troops in one fell swoop.

And if Wu'an's chewable bone is spit out, and it is used as bait to send troops into Wu'an's territory and station troops in the eastern border of Wu'an, Daliang will certainly not turn a blind eye.

The two sides fought, won and ate meat, lost, and Xirong just lost a bone that could not be chewed.

Besides, he really fought with Daliang in Wu'an, and when the bones were smashed to pieces, it would be a good idea to lick the residue clean.

Therefore, supporting Wen Zhemao to raise troops is a very cost-effective thing for Xirong.

For this reason, they can even give the little ones around a little soup to drink.

Or, just let the little guys go to the front to work hard, and he will keep an eye on the situation from the rear, fight if the enemy is wrong, and withdraw if he is wrong, so that he can make money without losing money.

This is the situation in Wu'an, the mess that has been in front of Wu'an since the previous dynasty.

There are wolves in front, but no reinforcements behind.

Don't expect Daliang to support Wu'an in the battle against Xirong, taking into account the cold lips and teeth.

That is the same as accepting slavery from Xirong and letting them enter the country to start a war with Daliang.

In the end, Wu'an was the only one who suffered.

If Wu An wants to survive between the two giants, he has to make himself hard enough so that they can't swallow it or spit it out!
Or, become a behemoth they cannot covet.

Since they can covet Wu'an's territory, why do Wu'an have to swallow their anger and only defend but not attack?

The Qiang Kingdom regards Wu'an as fat meat, and eagerly wants to serve it on the dining table, so they approach Xirong and Wen Zhemao, and they have a good plan, but they never thought that Wu'an's fat meat is also hot.

"Chicken ribs are tasteless to eat, but it's a pity to lose them."

Yan Qing looked at the territory map, which was only one-third of Wu'an's land and was closely connected with Wu'an's Qiang Kingdom, suddenly curled his lips, "Since ancient times, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. How can shrimp jump around?" happy?"

Seeing the coldness in Yan Qing's eyes, Meng Shulan also smiled and said, "It's probably because I feel that there is a big fish behind me, and I feel that I am a bait, and I can pick up some dregs. But I don't want to, puffer fish are small, thorny and poisonous. "Although black fish is big, it has no mouth for puffer fish. Shrimp are very tasty."

The four eyes met, and they all saw the high-spirited fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

"Let's not report this matter first."

Meng Shulan still remembered what Yan Qing said about the person who had been hiding behind Wen Zhemao, "I will get in touch with King Duan as soon as possible, and let him take charge of the overall situation in southern Xinjiang, with the help of his Eastern Xinjiang troops and the gathered Southern Xinjiang soldiers. , All over the southwest border, set up pockets for catching shrimp."

Yan Qing thought about it for a while, and although he felt that it was inappropriate not to report this matter to the emperor, the general was out and the military orders were not accepted, and the blame from the higher ups would be nothing more than a situation forced him.

It's just that Wu'an's food harvest is poor, and most of the treasury's money is used for the relief and reconstruction of the Zhanghuai flood.

"Don't worry about the food and salary."

Seeing the smug Yan Qing frowning just now, Meng Shulan, who had been with her for many years, immediately understood what she was worrying about. It’s not good for Daliang either, you can’t borrow soldiers, but it shouldn’t be difficult to borrow some food and pay.”

Meng Shulan said it easily and freely, but Yan Qing had seen the difficulties in the history books even if he had not personally experienced them.

But no matter how difficult it is, you can only do it.

"If you need any help, just ask."

Yan Qing said, "Uncle Kang has traveled around the world to do business, and he still has connections under his command."
