Chapter 2046: Great Power Methods
Wang Xingyi said, "From a standpoint, He Xiao is against the Heavenly Demon and Beijia, and he killed Miao Zhantian, so there is almost no possibility of reconciliation with the Lingxu demons. This is naturally similar to us. From a situational perspective, Beijia has been using the Yao Kingdom to secretly control the Shining Gold Plain. If He Xiao can kill Bai Tan and destroy the Yao Kingdom, he can greatly reduce the influence of the Heavenly Demon on Shining Gold. Both of these points are beneficial to our country."
"Master Wang only talks about the benefits, not the harm." Guo Shaoping said, "He Xiao claims to be the 'reincarnation of the Dragon God' and deceives the world in Shanjin, causing a big disturbance. Once Yao Kingdom falls, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to establish his own country. Even if he still opposes Beijia, he will hide behind Damu. What good will this do us? We will only gain a powerful neighbor."
Wang Xingyi laughed: "He just founded a country and he has become a 'powerful neighbor'? When did our Damu become so conservative and afraid of innovation? No one can enter the Shanjin place. If He Xiao doesn't occupy it, Tianmo will find a way to support other forces sooner or later."
To be more specific, even if that place does not belong to He Xiao, it would be difficult for it to become Mou Guo's.
"On the contrary, after He Xiao takes over Shanjin, no matter how big or small the territory he occupies is, we can use him to influence Shanjin, just like Miao Zhantian secretly controlled Shanjin through Yaoguo in the past."
Another minister said, "This He Xiao doesn't seem like an obedient person. The death of Qianhuan Immortal Venerable is still full of doubts."
"Liu Qingdao, the second disciple of Qianhuan Immortal Venerable, has confirmed He Xiao's testimony."
"Where is Liu Qingdao?"
"Still in the Black Armor Army." Wang Xingyi said, "I also recognize Liu Qingdao. Although this elder Liu is gentle, he is loyal to his master. He Xiao has done something improper to Qianhuan Immortal Venerable in the Upside-Down Sea, so he will not bring Huanzong to join He Xiao. Besides-"
He turned to Emperor Mou and said respectfully: "Whether He Xiao can be made obedient depends on the methods used by the Emperor."
Emperor Mou had been listening to their arguments, and now he sat up straight: "The Shining Gold Plain has been in chaos for a thousand years, and it's not a bad thing that He Xiao can come out. It shouldn't be just Mou who is doing the work to resist Bega and the demons. Shining Gold is rich in resources, and if He Xiao can stand firm, it will also benefit Great Mou."
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the ministers responded immediately.
Emperor Mou took out a document from the drawer and put it on the table. "This is a letter from Demon Emperor Beijia. I just received it this morning. He agreed and said that the ownership of the four areas of Sugangbao on the western front can be discussed. Both sides should take a step back and show some sincerity."
Muguo and Beijia were not directly adjacent to each other, and their war was fought over two small countries in conflict. The four areas of Sugangbao were strategic locations, and the four countries had spent energy and lives to fight for them. If they gave up these four areas, it would be like Beijia taking a big step back.
Everyone was moved after hearing this.
"But at the same time, Bejia has just started a new round of war. News from the front line said that Bejia's famous general Baili Hongsheng led 30,000 troops and just entered the battlefield on the western front."
Wang Xingyi said coldly: "It is indeed Bejia's usual style."
If you want to negotiate, you must first fight hard to gain more bargaining chips for yourself at the negotiation table, while also putting pressure on the enemy to make Mou Guo more willing to agree.
He then asked, "At this critical moment, the Demon Emperor suddenly gave in. Could it be that he also wanted to get the gold?"
"Yes, they want us to ignore Yaguo's actions." Emperor Mou took the letter and read a sentence casually, "'For the sake of the current situation, we should not intervene in the Shanjin dispute.'"
Wang Xingyi laughed: "Bejia has been interfering in the Golden Plains for many years, and has not yet pulled out, but he says that we 'should not intervene'?"
"The letter also suggested exchanging prisoners."
The smiles on the ministers' faces disappeared.
The Demon Emperor's words are also very meaningful.
The two countries had been fighting for so long, so of course they had prisoners, from soldiers to officers. Four months ago, Xun Shiheng, a general of the Mou State, was ambushed while on a mission and was unfortunately captured.
This person is the descendant of the famous general Xun Chong'en. The Xun family is also well-known in Mou State. There are officials in the court and generals leading troops.
If the two countries exchanged prisoners, there would be a chance to rescue Xun Shiheng.
Emperor Mou put the two letters together.
One was from the Demon Emperor Beiga, and the other was from He Xiao.
Haha, both sides wrote letters to Emperor Mou at the same time and put forward their own conditions.
If he agreed to the request of the Demon Emperor Beijia, the battle on the front line would become clear. Not only could he take back the strategic location, but he could also save many soldiers.
If he could help He Xiao get rid of the threat from Yaguo, he would almost cut off the evil claws of Beijia and Tianmo that were reaching out to Shanjin, and lend a hand to He Xiao in his time of danger. He Xiao would also remember this favor.
No matter which side you agree to, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Emperor Mou's eyes were dark.
At this time, even Wang Xingyi didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing the emperor's thoughts.
Emperor Mou's eyes were fixed on the box of dragon-punishing pillars for a long time.
Although it was a deal in both open and covert terms, the conditions offered by Demon Emperor Beijia and Emperor Mou were real, that is, an exchange of interests;
He Xiao first gave Emperor Mou 800 dragon-punishing pillars. No matter whether Emperor Mou agreed or not, he could not take back these gifts.
Therefore, He Xiao's sincerity comes first.
This is the attitude of asking for help from others.
After a long while, Emperor Mou stretched out his hand and tapped twice on He Xiao's letter: "Let Ji Yingsong lead 50,000, no, 70,000 troops to the border of Ya Country!"
This is the determination to help He Xiao.
The ministers immediately said: "I hope He Xiao can understand the emperor's kindness."
"But young people are arrogant. If they are not taught a lesson, they will not know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is." Emperor Mou looked at He Lingchuan's letter and said to Guo Shaoping, "You should think of a way."
"Yes!" As the chief assistant, Guo Shaoping not only managed state affairs on his behalf, but also had to deal with Emperor Mou's sudden whims from time to time. Not only was he insightful, but his reactions were also faster than others.
He thought for a moment, then said, "I have a method that is morally justifiable."
Then he asked his attendants, "Where is Lu Qinglin now?"
Someone quickly replied: "In Pang'an County. He was stationed abroad two months ago and has not yet been rotated back to the country."
Lu Qinglin is not in Mou State at the moment, but in the southern region.
"That's perfect!" Guo Shaoping immediately offered a solution and explained it clearly in a few words.
Even Wang Xingyi felt that this move of cutting off the source of the problem was a bit harsh, but it should be effective.
All the ministers were moved and praised his wise decision.
Emperor Mou did not comment, but just said, "Go ahead and do it."
Guo Shaoping immediately agreed.
After the court meeting ended, all the ministers left the imperial study.
Wang Xingyi left on his own, while the other two officials surrounded Guo Shaoping and praised him repeatedly: "I admire the methods of the Prime Minister! He Xiao, the young and inexperienced man, should also be taught a lesson and learn what the methods of a great power are!"
Guo Shaoping stroked his beard and smiled, feeling quite pleased with himself.
He Xiao was too stingy. He only offered 800 dragon-punishing pillars as bargaining chips and wanted Da Mu to send troops to save him from death.
Therefore, Mouguo has to take action on its own and get more bargaining chips.
