Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 971 Chapter 972 Xiong Biao at a loss
The king of Chu, Xiong Biao, has been very nervous recently. He neither wants Qin to win the war against Shu, nor dares to pray for Shu to win... This is a rather contradictory state, which makes him hardly have a day and night Can sleep well.

There is no way, the Tang Empire has taken a fancy to Nanshan Port of Chu State, and hopes to exchange some parts of Shu State for this largest port city of Chu State.

You listen, you listen!Is this speaking human language?Exchange the land of Chu State with the land of a third country, and the Tang Empire really didn't have to pay any price.

Chu State itself does not want to change it. After all, Nanshan Port is the largest port in Chu State, and it has built a pipeline leading to the oil production area. Chu State is not willing to give up such an important port easily.This is really one of the richest areas in Chu State, and Chu State is not willing to trade here.

But the Tang Empire wanted it, and the Chu State had to carefully consider the attitude of the Tang Empire.If they don't agree to each other's request, are they likely to be retaliated by the Tang Empire?

Moreover, Xiong Biao, the King of the Chu Kingdom, also knew very well that what the Tang Empire wanted, he would definitely try his best to get it. If the Chu Kingdom itself was unwilling, the Datang Empire might take action in person.

Chu State is a small and weak country, and Chu State has almost been infiltrated into a sieve by the Tang Empire.The crown prince is even still acting as a hostage in Chang'an, and the country's economic lifeline is in the hands of the Tang Empire.

In such a situation, what would Chu use to resist the Tang Empire?Maybe the Tang Empire will use the same method to deal with the Dahua Empire to come to the territory of Chu State again, and the price Chu State will have to pay is really too high.

Who didn't know that the Tang Empire supported Prince Zhao Yu within the Dahua Empire, which eventually led to the outbreak of a civil war in the Dahua Empire.Others don't know about this kind of thing, so Chu State doesn't know about it?

So after hearing that the Tang Empire had taken a fancy to Nanshan Port, Xiong Biao, the monarch of Chu State, knew that Nanshan Port could not be kept.

Since it can't be kept, it can only exchange the greatest benefit: Didn't the Tang Empire guarantee that it would exchange part of the land in the northern part of Shu State with Chu State? At least in terms of land area, Chu State could get more.

Xiong Biao agreed to the request of the Tang Empire, and then prayed in his heart that the Qin State would not be able to defeat the Shu State, so that the land exchanged for Nanshan Port would not fall into the hands of the Tang Empire.

But then he thought about it carefully, since the Tang Empire has taken a fancy to Nanshan Port, is it a question of whether there will be a land exchange from the Kingdom of Shu?
If the Qin State could not get the land of the Shu State, and the Tang Empire had no bargaining chips for land exchange, would it become angry and directly ask for Nanshan Port?
When this kind of thing really happened, wouldn't it be true that the Chu State would not even be able to get the land of the Shu State?
So these days, he began to fantasize about the victory of Qin State again, so that he would at least have a chance to get part of the territory of Shu State to make up for the loss of Nanshan Port.

In fact, the special envoy sent by the State of Shu to seek help from the State of Chu has been in the State of Chu for several days. He has not been able to meet the king of the State of Chu, so he probably guessed the meaning of the State of Chu.

It is estimated that the state of Qin has persuaded the king of Chu to remain neutral in the battle between Qin and Shu.This is not good news for the State of Shu, because the State of Shu needs to go through the channel of the State of Chu to import materials from the State of Tang.

Like Chu State, Liu Jing, the speaker of Shu State, is also very anxious recently.His Shu State could not get enough supplies from Chu State and Tang State, so it was not as powerful as it appeared.

The State of Qin was worried that the State of Shu would get enough resources, but the State of Shu could not get enough support because of the vacillation of the State of Chu.

Both countries are very guilty, and the war consumption of the two countries makes each other extremely uncomfortable.Qin State lost more than 400 aircraft, and Shu State was actually not much better, they also lost more than 370 aircraft.

It is difficult to replenish pilots, and the speed of subsequent troop replenishment cannot keep up.The Kingdom of Shu lost more than the Kingdom of Qin, because their ground troops did have lower combat effectiveness.

In the two months since the war started, they have killed almost 20 people.Qin's ground troops were so powerful that they beat Shu's ground troops to the ground.

There is indeed a huge gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides. Qin State interspersed and detoured in some areas, and even surrounded more than 5 Shu troops, forcing them to surrender.

If it weren't for the deployment of a new line of defense relying on Huaishan, Shu would have even collapsed.Shu, which itself was not good at fighting, was forced to expand its army by 100 million in one breath.

But these troops themselves have not undergone much training, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.It might be better to count on the mercenaries that the Orc Empire might lend to the Kingdom of Shu than to count on these troops conscripted later.

That's right, because of the outbreak of the war, the trade of orc slaves exported by the Shu Kingdom to the Tang Empire seemed to be affected. Now these slaves are not easy to transfer to the Tang Kingdom, and can only be stranded in the Shu Kingdom.

But no matter how many orcs the orc empire had, they were willing to export some slaves, so many orc slaves were willing to stay in Shu, and were even willing to use money to fight for Shu.

The fighting power of these orcs is much more reliable than Shu's own second-line troops, so there are voices from all over Shu, thinking that the orc empire can send troops to help them solve Qin's troubles.

But the high-level leaders of the Shu Kingdom are not fools. They are afraid that after the war, these orc slaves will not be able to lose their tails, and they will become a serious problem at that time.

Their thoughts are definitely not unfounded, because the fighting power of the orcs is not low. If these guys are equipped with good guns and cannons, it will not be so easy to handle.

If these orcs don't leave, they still have weapons in their hands, and maybe Shu will be annexed by orcs at once.The people below may not think so much, but as the speaker, how could Liu Jing not think about it for a long time?

What the Kingdom of Shu can do now is to appease and guard against the Beast Empire, communicate with the Kingdom of Chu at the same time, and then go all out to fight against the Kingdom of Qin.

Although it is very passive on the battlefield, it is also a fact that Qin State lacks stamina. As long as Shu State can continue to persevere, and then have a good talk with the Tang Empire, there should be a solution after all.

That's right, Liu Jing felt that the key to solving the problem lay with the Tang Empire.As long as the Tang Empire clearly supported Shu, Qin would have no chance.

It has to be said that Liu Jing's vision is actually very accurate, but to satisfy the appetite of the Tang Empire, the Kingdom of Shu must pay a certain price.

Judging from Qin's attack, the high probability of this price is not small.In this regard, Liu Jing was not very willing to hand over the benefits to the Tang Empire.

This is the intuition of a superior, a kind of survival instinct as a prey: in Liu Jing's view, compromising with the Tang Empire is not even as good as seeking peace with Qin.

Because the appetite of the Tang Empire cannot be easily fed, instead of giving the benefits to the Tang Empire and raising a giant beast that no one can compete with, it is better to give the benefits to the Qin State. Always let the State of Qin stand in front, to counteract the enormous pressure of the Tang Empire.

Of course, Liu Jing, a politician, can really think so, but the people and businessmen of the Shu Kingdom definitely don't think so.

Because in the eyes of these people, they would rather go to the Tang Empire, which can bring them benefits, than deal with the poor Qin people.

This kind of thinking is very similar to the European Union before Tang Mo crossed. They would rather be entrapped by the surveillance and manipulation of the lighthouse country than believe that the poor and capable bear is really no threat.

In short, the national ruin and family ruin caused by the lighthouse is an internal conflict that the Anglos can reconcile. Even if the Slavs laugh harmlessly, there must be some shady conspiracy...

As for the rabbit... In the eyes of these old Europeans, no matter how they look at it, they are not my race. Their hearts must be different, and their minds are filled with distrust.

So it doesn't really matter whether the high-level officials in Shu have political vision, because they can no longer structure and forge international relations according to their ideas.

International relations have been shattered by the invisible giant hand stretched out by the Tang Empire, and now the only thing left to Shu is war!
Even the war is no longer within the control of Shu.Whether it is a defeat or a victory, whether it is a draw or annihilation depends on the thoughts of the Tang Empire.

At this moment, Liu Jing felt ashamed and also filled with sorrow.If he had a choice, he really didn't want to accept that his fate was arranged by others.

Because, this is really very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable thing!
