Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 414
Meng Chang directly issued an order to expel the guests.

Xu Kai came here with all the hardships and almost lost his own legs, so he was willing to leave like this, shouting: "My lord, do you really want to see the ancestral temple of Meng Shu destroyed? Li Renhan and Zhang Ye, have you written down the ambition and ambition of "Your salary, your salary, the people's anointing and the people's fat. Being a parent, you are not kind"?"

Meng Chang's expression has changed significantly.

Xu Kai continued: "Your Majesty, the Han Kingdom in Lingnan has agreed to send troops, and now Sichuan and Shu are left. As long as Sichuan and Shu are willing to send troops to Qinchuan, they will be exhausted in keeping the Central Plains, and they will not care about each other."

Xu Kai's words were not false.

Since Luo Youdu planned to take Nanping in the past, the Central Plains has controlled the passage of the Yangtze River into Shu.

At this critical moment, Xu Kai and the others chose to enter the country from the Southern Han Dynasty.

As the only country in the Han and Tang Dynasties that proclaimed itself emperor, the Southern Han Dynasty was naturally hostile by Guo Rong and Luo Youdu.

Guo Rong's Northern Expedition frightened the Southern Han, and Luo Youdu's Western Expedition also frightened the Southern Han.

The Southern Han Dynasty has lived in fear these years, and the hatred for the Central Plains has also accumulated day by day.

It is self-evident who the next target will be when the troops are sent to conquer Jingnan.

Therefore, Southern Han's interest in the Anti-Luo Alliance even surpassed that of Jiangnan, and directly agreed to the request to form an alliance and send troops.

Xu Kai was able to cross mountains and ridges from the Lingnan Mountains to the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains also by the road of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Meng Chang ignored Xu Kai's persuasion, and waved someone to expel Xu Kai.

Meng Chang got up with some difficulty, his face was uncertain.

In fact, he agreed with Xu Kai's statement in his heart.

Meng Chang knew that one day, the soldiers and horses from the Central Plains would eventually break into Shu. They would invade Chengdu, deprive them of everything, and even demolish the Meng family's ancestral temple.

But what can be done?

Revolt?

Not without resistance!
It was just a partial teacher in the Central Plains, so he forced himself to resign from the throne and respect the Central Plains as Zhengshuo.

What was the strength of the Central Plains back then?
What is the strength of the Central Plains now?
What was the strength of Sichuan and Shu back then?
What is the strength of Chuanshu now?
The Central Plains seized Huainan, took Nanping, broke Khitan, destroyed the Han Kingdom in the east of the river, and regained the hometown of Long and Liang...

More than several times stronger?
With such terrifying strength, what can be used to contend with it?
As the king of Sichuan and Shu, Meng Chang naturally has a certain understanding of his own strength.

A long sigh.

Resistance will only lead to death faster, it is better to have fun and show the Central Plains that you are harmless, and maybe you can survive for a few more years.

Meng Chang thought to himself, and shouted out: "Get up, I'm going to Huoyan Palace."

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he got out of the warm coal in the palace, and involuntarily tightened the mink fur coat on his body.

It is said that fat people are afraid of heat but not cold, but Meng Chang has been afraid of both heat and cold these years, and dare not go out in summer, nor in winter.

In order to make his life more comfortable, Meng Chang built the Crystal Palace and the Huoyan Palace respectively in the Shu Palace.

As the name suggests, the Crystal Palace and Huoyan Palace are used to avoid the heat and cold.

The Crystal Palace uses nanmu as the pillars, agarwood as the building, coral inlaid windows, and jasper as the households. The surrounding walls do not use bricks and stones, but are inlaid with open glazed glass, which is transparent inside and outside without any barriers.In the hot summer in the Crystal Palace, it is as cool as late autumn.

The Huoyan Hall uses the rocks near the volcano as the foundation, the century-old ash wood as the doors and windows, the camphor as the pillars, and the underground fire cellar. In the hall, winter is as warm as summer.

Since the first frost, Meng Chang has rarely left the Huoyan Palace, and the daily state affairs are all in the charge of Crown Prince Meng Xuanzhe and Minister Wang Zhaoyuan.

Meng Chang wouldn't even come to see Xu Kai if it wasn't for the seriousness of the matter.

Xu Kai sat in the sedan chair with a dead heart, his eyes were dull, and he didn't know what to do.

The Central Plains is too strong, too strong, so strong that people don't know how to win.

Now the only way to contain the Central Plains is the joint efforts of Jiangnan, Nanhan, and Mengshu.

Jiangnan sent troops to Jianghuai to attack the grain-producing areas of the Central Plains.

The Southern Han Dynasty went north to Jingxiang to attract and contain the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains.

If Meng Shu can send troops to Qinchuan at the same time, three major battlefields can be opened up.

Huainan, Jingnan plus Qinchuan, in this way, counting the Dingnan army, the Central Plains will fall into the quagmire of the four major wars.

It is not easy to win, but the four battlefields can consume the economic strength of the Central Plains to the maximum, making them unable to care about each other.

If Khitan can get involved at this time, they even have the hope of carve up the Central Plains.

The status of Meng Shu in this method is very important. After all, Jingnan and Huainan have limited restraint.

However, the distance between Qinchuan and Jingnan and Huainan is vastly different.

It can effectively divide the transportation and consumption of the soldiers and horses in the Central Plains...

But Meng Chang has no fighting spirit, just like a lump of mud.

Xu Kai left the palace in a daze, like a walking dead, and got into the carriage, all he could think about was how to persuade Meng Chang to agree to the alliance to send troops.

"Mr. Xu! It's here!"

Hearing the coachman's call, Xu Kai came back to his senses, opened the curtain of the car, and looked at the strange place in front of him, unavoidably shocked.

"Where is this?"

One of them came forward, bowed his head and said with a smile, "My lord, Wang Zhaoyuan, has heard of Mr. Chu Jin's exegesis for a long time. There is nothing wrong in the world. It is a great honor to meet you today."

Exegesis is the analysis of the meaning of ancient texts. Some ancient words and meanings have changed through the times and are unknown.

Then exegesis was derived, which analyzes the meaning of words and sentences according to the context and various ancient books.

When Xu Kai heard that it was Prime Minister Meng Shu, he quickly bowed in return and said, "So it's Mr. Kong Liang!"

Wang Zhaoyuan regarded himself as the contemporary "Zhuge Liang". Zhuge Liang's name was Kong Ming, so he named himself Kong Liang.

Wang Zhaoyuan was dressed in a Confucian uniform. In the winter, holding a feather fan in his hand, he bowed and said, "I take the liberty to invite you to the mansion. I hope you don't blame me. There is an ancient book in the lower mansion. There are many new words in the book. I don't understand its meaning. I just ask Chu Jin for advice." gentlemen."

Where is Xu Kai in the mood to read some ancient books?
However, Wang Zhaoyuan was Meng Chang's number one confidant, and if he could get his support as prime minister, there might be a chance of survival.

At that moment Xu Kai made up his mind and said, "Do your best."

Wang Zhaoyuan helped Xu Kai into the house, and naturally praised Xu Kai for his loyalty along the way.

Entering the living room, Xu Kai saw a person sitting in front of the hall. While being surprised, the other person introduced himself first.

"Meng Xuanzhe met Mr. Chu Jin!"

Xu Kai hurriedly returned the gift, and it turned out to be the prince of Sichuan and Shu!
In an instant, he realized that the situation was different, and he didn't come here to read ancient books.

Xu Kai's thoughts changed, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Highness, the ambition of the emperor of the Central Plains is clearly revealed. Now our Jiangnan and your country are in a life-and-death situation. Only by standing side by side against the enemy can we have a chance. I implore Your Highness to persuade the king, don't With a heart of benevolence, think of the wolf's mind."

Meng Xuanzhe is 23 years old this year, just at the age when a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Looking at Xu Kai who is loyal to Xu Guo, he said: "I have always wanted to fight against the Central Plains, but my father has not allowed it. So far, Mr. Chu Jin can rest assured. Gu promises, sir, that the father and king will agree to send troops and resist the bandits in the Central Plains."

　Thank you book friends Gao Dashuai for the reward, thank you for your support!
