Chapter 902 Deep Despair
However, Bian State was defeated step by step under the attack of the Shang Dynasty. Since Shangdu was attacked, Bian State's confidence has been severely hit.
The Southern King Sima Xuan of Bian State and the Southern King Chu Yong of Jing State have already arrived in the Southern Kingdom of Yue State and requested the Yue State to mediate.
Early in the morning, the atmosphere in the Yue Kingdom court was solemn.
Yue State is of course concerned about the Shang Dynasty's attack on Bian State. After all, with the advancement of technology, the distance between the Shang Dynasty and Yue State is no longer far away.
Once the two sides were 40,000 kilometers apart, which was a very long distance for the country. However, it is not possible now. With the development and expansion of the Shang Dynasty and Yue Kingdom, the closest distance between the two countries was less than 10,000 kilometers - there were only two countries in the middle!
In other words, if anyone in the Shang Dynasty or Yue is a little excited, the two countries will be able to border.
However, although Yue Kingdom has developed well over the years and has a good relationship with the Shang Dynasty, no one in the Yue Kingdom agrees with it. Yue Kingdom borders the Shang Dynasty! That's simply uncomfortable!
But now, Yue State has to face a choice - should Bian State help or not?
If you help Bian, you may offend the Shang Dynasty. You must know that the current ruler of the Shang Dynasty is an angry queen! A queen who almost became a widow! God knows what the result will be torture this woman.
But if we don’t help Bian, the Shang Dynasty will inevitably swallow Bian in one bite. Then the distance between the Shang Dynasty and Yue will be shortened by seven or eight thousand kilometers at once. Bian was already big, and with a new Sima Empire, it was almost the distance.
In short, if the Shang Dynasty swallowed the Bian State, the Shang Dynasty would put serious pressure on the Yue State on the coast. Especially if it cooperated with Qingcheng, the Shang Dynasty's millions of elite troops would probably appear on the Yue State's border in one day - if the two countries conflicted.
Now the war of annexation is in full swing, and the wave of annexation continues to climb one new high after another with the advancement of technology. Countries with a land area of more than 20,000 kilometers are constantly emerging. The Shang Dynasty is the birthplace of technology, and technology cannot be underestimated.
When they approached the Shang Dynasty, the whole country of Yue expressed concern.
Therefore, at this time, many ministers made suggestions, saying that we should plead for Bian State and try our best to win Bian State to become our ally and become a barrier to block the Shang Dynasty.
The Shang Dynasty was too powerful, and Xia Qingqing is too strong now. Many ministers believed that we should curb the development of the Shang Dynasty.
Sima Xuan and Chu Yong stood beside him, waiting quietly. Looking at the almost one-sided posture in the court, Chu Yong was already a little happy, and it seemed that there was no problem.
But Sima Xuan was not that optimistic because Sima Xuan keenly discovered that the prime minister Gou Yuanli, the Grand Tutor Yuan Bingchu, and the Grand Marshal Bai Shuiming of Yue did not speak, and the three of them seemed to be hesitating about something.
Since you are hesitant, it means there are other considerations! Other considerations are nothing more than opposition opinions, which is a simple matter.
Sure enough, after the ministers discussed for a long time, the Emperor of Yue finally asked the Prime Minister Gou Yuanli next to him, "What do the prime minister think?"
Everyone looked at it, especially Sima Xuan. Unlike King Jing Chu Yong, although Chu Yong proclaimed himself King Jing, he believed in fists more because of the demonic environment. But Sima Xuan knew that politics is full of variables; people who like fists are often pitted in the whirlpool of politics and are completely injured.
This Gou Yuanli pondered for so long, but she might have any bad results.
Sure enough, Gou Yuanli glanced at Sima Xuan, and her eyes turned out to be... ridiculed!
Sima Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
However, without waiting for Sima Xuan to react, Gou Yuanli calmly and even said coldly: "Your Majesty, Sima Xuan and Chu Yong provoke the friendship between us and the Shang Dynasty.
But considering that the two of them were visiting formally, I asked His Majesty to drive them away and leave Yue immediately.
In addition, please block the trade in the north and prohibit any family, caravan, etc. from sending supplies to Bian State. A grain of rice, an arrow, or a bullet cannot be given to Bian State!"
Sima Xuan was suddenly stunned, as if he was stunned. Chu Yong seemed to be struck by lightning, and he opened his mouth foolishly, as if he could not believe that such a result would be!
How is it possible! How is it possible? How is it possible~~~
Sima Xuan and Chu Yong were stunned, and they heard that the Taiwei and Taishi of Yue State also expressed their opinions: Expel Sima Xuan and Chu Yong and block the trade in the north!
The Emperor of Yue seemed a little confused, but when he saw that all three dukes responded, he knew that something must be strange. He immediately ordered Sima Xuan and Chu Yong to expel him, and ordered them to leave Yue immediately and not stay.
"Why!" Chu Yong finally reacted and roared a little, "Once Bian State loses its mistake, the Shang Dynasty will inevitably threaten the safety of Yue State!"
"Speak alarmist!" Gou Yuanli sneered, "We are as close as brothers to the Shang Dynasty, so don't talk nonsense. Why are you still standing there?"
The next sentence was said to the guards. Seeing that the emperor and the prime minister had both spoken, the guards no longer gave Sima Xuan and Chu Yong a chance to talk, but just dragged the two of them out of the court.
After Sima Xuan and Chu Yong left, the Emperor of Yue looked at Gou Yuanli and said slowly: "Please explain to the Prime Minister."
Everyone looked at Gou Yuanli. Yes, Gou Yuanli’s decision just now seemed to exceed everyone’s expectations; but he didn’t expect that the Grand Master and the Grand Marshal agreed.
Everyone is eager to understand what these three men think.
Gou Yuanli smiled slightly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have four considerations.
First, according to the reasons and evidence given by the Shang Dynasty, Bian State was because Bian State participated in the assassination of the wise king and subverting the rule of the Shang Dynasty.
May I ask, is such a thing worth encouraging?"
The Emperor of Yue said with a serious expression: "Not only can we not encourage, we must even firmly oppose it."
"Yes, we must firmly oppose it! Whether in terms of morality or politics, this time, Bian did something wrong. If we do something wrong, we have to pay the price.
But Bian Guo did something wrong, so we have no reason to help.”
The Emperor of Yue nodded and understood this matter; even if he was in the interests of Yue, this matter would never be encouraged. He then asked, "What about the second point?"
Gou Yuanli talked: "The second point is that we don't know Xia Qingqing. If it were the past and the wise king was in power, we might be able to talk about it. Although the wise king was young, he was definitely a rational person. His thoughts and broad ambitions were enough to make him tolerate some small mistakes.
But we don’t understand what decisions Xia Qingqing, especially an angry woman, would make.
Once Xia Qingqing holds a grudge against us because of this, we will suffer huge losses. This will have an immeasurable impact on the current plan and future development of Yue Kingdom."
The Emperor of Yue thought for a moment and nodded slowly again. He signaled Gou Yuanli to continue.
"The third point is that the biggest weakness of the Shang Dynasty was reputation. We maintained this reputation itself, which is the greatest protection for us.
Your Majesty, please think, today we are considering the Shang Dynasty, and the Shang Dynasty will always have some concerns about us in the future. As long as we do not provoke the Shang Dynasty, our two countries will definitely maintain stability for a long time.
Long-term stability is enough to get more help and support from the Shang Dynasty, make us develop more and further increase our strength to resist the Shang Dynasty.
As long as we can raise our strength to a relative height and make the Shang Dynasty feel that hitting us may cause bloodshed, we will be truly safe.
After all, being strong is the real hardness. If you rely on the so-called political alliance, you will sooner or later betrayed by your allies."
The emperor of Yue looked solemn and happy. What was happy was that there was such a prime minister, what was solemn was the current situation in Yingzhou and the difficult path ahead of Yue. It was not easy to develop. The difficulties of scientific development in recent years have made the emperor of Yue vividly remember it.
As of today, the country of Vietnam has not overcome the technical difficulties of supersonic aircraft!
To be precise, Yueguo has now developed jet engines, because fluid mechanics has been made public in the Shang Dynasty schools, so it is naturally difficult to keep confidential. However, with fluid mechanics, it does not mean that supersonic aircraft can be produced.
If you use the formation assistance, you can of course achieve a short-term supersonic speed, but it can only barely reach twice the speed of sound, and it consumes a lot.
However, the real supersonic aircraft of the Shang Dynasty could achieve supersonic state without using any formation.
Yue Kingdom learned from the Shang Dynasty, and naturally learned the technical standards of the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, the matter of supersonic aircraft made Yue Kingdom worry. Yue Kingdom still had no grasp of the true supersonic technology core of the Shang Dynasty!
To be precise, the Shang Dynasty's already very complex scientific system is daunting; the Yue Kingdom doesn't know where to start.
These thoughts flashed through the emperor of Yue Kingdom, and finally sighed. He looked at Gou Yuanli and asked, "What else?"
Gou Yuanli's face became solemn, "Your Majesty, the fourth point is: to destroy people in advance, you must first make people crazy. Since the Shang Dynasty is so crazy, we will fuel the fire and make the Shang Dynasty even more unscrupulously crazy!
If one day in the future, the Shang Dynasty even asks us to send troops to help, then we should consider it seriously!
Anyway, if the Shang Dynasty is...crazy!"
The Emperor of Yue's eyes suddenly became sharp, and then he nodded slowly. "Okay, no one is allowed to tell what he was discussing just now!
In addition, immediately block the trade in the north, etc., we must make a lot of publicity and let the Shang Dynasty know our friendship."
"Yes." The ministers responded.
At this time, Sima Xuan and Chu Yong were almost driven away by the guards of the Yue Kingdom Palace and stuffed them into the plane. The plane immediately took off and flew to the north.
On the plane, Sima Xuan looked extremely ugly. He gave his opinion for the first time and got such a result. That's fine, but the most important thing is that the situation in Bian State is already very dangerous and cannot be delayed!
Otherwise, try looking for another country? Sima Xuan's thinking is turbulent and constantly screening one target after another. After the incident of Yue Kingdom, Sima Xuan understood that the influence and deterrence of the Shang Dynasty were probably beyond, far beyond his expectations!
Those countries that had close contact with the Shang Dynasty were afraid that they would understand the power of the Shang Dynasty better. In turn, it proved that the Shang Dynasty was more powerful than what they saw.
Because those countries have developed, they understand the gap between themselves and the Shang Dynasty more! Therefore, they dare not collide with the Shang Dynasty head-on!
These thoughts flashed through Sima Xuan's mind and suddenly became a little tired. From the little things that Yue State performed, Sima Xuan felt the unknown side of the Shang Dynasty - Sima Xuan still didn't know how powerful the Shang Dynasty was, but Yue State's performance was enough to prove everything from the side!
Next to him, Chu Yong's face was extremely ugly. As King Jing of Zhongdu, he had never encountered such an embarrassing, angry, and powerless situation! It can be said that Yue's actions really hurt the heart of the king. But what can it be?
Go and fight to the country of Yue?
Chu Yong knew very well that without the support of other countries, Bian's future...the prospects are worrying! Xia Qingqing, that woman, was so angry that she went crazy.
The plane had already flown into the blue sky, but the hearts of Sima Xuan and Chu Yong fell to the boundless hell. Reality is always constantly crushing one beautiful dream after another.
In the afternoon of that day, the Yue Kingdom began to mail the order to temporarily block the transaction; when will the war between the Shang Dynasty and the Bian Kingdom end and when will the trade be restarted?
This is clearly to stuck the neck of Bian. Now in the east of Yingzhou, the closest major countries to Bian are one of the Shang Dynasty and the other are the Yue Kingdom.
Now the Shang Dynasty naturally blocked the trade with Bian State, etc.; then if Bian State wants to obtain a large amount of military supplies, it naturally has to switch to Yue State. Other countries provide too little arms and the quality is uneven. It is better not to use it after using it. It is better to directly mention the flying sword and play hand-to-hand combat.
But now, the country of Yue has also blocked trade, and the situation in the country of Bian has completely fallen to the bottom.
…………
At noon on that day, Shen Jianfei once again commanded the army to advance. But this time, while the front-line war was going on, Shen Jianfei fully utilized the advantages of the Air Force and ordered the Air Force to start attacking the main factories, industrial areas, granaries, mining areas, small and medium-sized military towns, etc. in Bian.
Shen Jianfei specifically instructed the Air Force that when attacking military bases, they can only attack small and medium-sized military bases, and do not move any large military bases!
Shen Jianfei wanted to drive all the main military forces of Bian State to large military fortresses.
Is this Shen Jianfei's head cramp? No, of course not! Once all the main military forces of Bian State are concentrated in the fortress, Shen Jianfei can concentrate his superior forces and hit a large amount of artillery fire, erasing all the soldiers of Bian State from the map in one fell swoop.
In fact, two military fortresses have been erased like this. The third one is in front of me, which is already shaking. The soldiers of Bian State were panicked, surrounded by Shang Dynasty legions and cannons. At this time, there were more than a dozen short-range intercontinental missiles fired from the Shang Dynasty at a high altitude.
The missiles sprayed flames and fell wildly.
Then, the sky and the earth were faded, and the rolling smoke rushed to a height of hundreds of meters. A fortress with a total of 50,000 troops disappeared directly.
It took a long time before a tearing explosion sounded, and the rolling evil spirits soared into the sky.
Many officers and generals of the Bian State did not die, but wanted to break through. But what awaited them was the tens of thousands of Nascent Soul Legions of the Shang Dynasty. There was no way to escape in the sky and underground.
Only some ruthless people immediately abandon their bodies and escape from the Nascent Soul can escape in a short time. But if they abandon their bodies, their future will be lost. Of course, there are also some brave people who want to self-destruct and die together, but they are knocked down by sniper rifles from afar.
The Shang Dynasty's technology never stopped. Now the best sniper rifle is enough to severely damage the masters of the God-Cultivation Stage. As long as there is a slight obstacle, the Shang Dynasty's masters will completely suppress and kill these crazy warriors.
The sound of the explosion was still echoing, there were already roars on the battlefield, and the final struggles were heard one after another.
Shen Jianfei looked at the battlefield ahead quietly and coldly until about twenty minutes later, the smoke and dust fell, and the visibility was good. Shen Jianfei ordered: "The sixth, the twelfth, and the eighteenth regiments, advance from three directions and strangle all living beings!"
The three legions moved forward slowly, and soon the sound of fighting came from the smoke and dust; but the three legions moved forward firmly, and their spiritual resistance was nothing more than a dying struggle.
At sunset, the war here ended completely, with only a few Nascent Soul masters, and the Yuanshen masters of the God Transformation Stage, etc., fleeing. Shen Jianfei immediately led the army to sweep, and the army swept towards the fifth military fortress.
Chapter completed!
