After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 343 The Bystander Clear
After Meng Di thought about it carefully for a while, he had some understanding in his heart. He wanted to take advantage of this moment to destroy the Wu Kingdom, and it was because this idea was so strong that he ignored many things.

Because of the existence of Wu State in the whole south, the relationship between Han State, Yue State, and Chu State is relatively relaxed. If Han State goes all out to deal with Wu State at this time, who will benefit in the end?
Perhaps Han would be able to obtain a large amount of territory because of this, but it would definitely miss some opportunities. At this time, Meng Di frowned slightly, and then asked slowly.

"Mr. Yan has just returned. What do you think about my recent decision to send troops to Wu?"

At this time, Yan He's face showed a cautious look, and after careful consideration, he spoke.

"In my opinion, now is not a good time to send troops to Wu. Today's Wu is not as strong as it was back then. Although the army is still powerful on the surface, the treasury of Wu is empty."

"The nobles of the Wu Kingdom will benefit the most. Under such circumstances, if we take the initiative to engage in friction with the Wu Kingdom, we will definitely suffer certain losses. When we win, it will also arouse the vigilance of other vassal states. "

"If at that time, other vassal states feel that Han has become their greatest danger, then they will probably send troops to Han like Qi attacked Jin."

It was obvious that Yan He expressed his opposition to the upcoming war. Meng Di frowned and thought for a while, and he knew very well in his heart that there was a great chance of such a possibility.

Because Zhao Yang's retainer You Liang had already made a similar suggestion before this, so he thought for a while and said.

"However, the problem is that Mr. Sun's identity has been leaked now. With Wu Wang Fucha's temper, he will definitely be extremely dissatisfied with Han at this time. If he can't take advantage of this opportunity to fight back, the future between Wu and South Korea will still be unavoidable. war."

After Yan He heard this, he nodded slowly, but still insisted on his own opinion.

"Actually, at the beginning, I also agreed with the lord's opinion, but what Senior Laizi said was very meaningful. The most important thing is to sow crops as soon as possible and water them on time."

"So just now when I was sending the old senior away, two carriages met on the street. One of the carriages was imposing like a rainbow, while the other one saw that the situation was not good and chose to avoid it. people."

After Meng Di heard this, he was thoughtful. He probably understood what Yan He meant, that is, it can be carried out, but it is best to be able to make a quick decision and maintain the current state of Wu State. most beneficial.

Because Han now needs enough time to develop, otherwise, if Wu is captured in the future, South Korea will have to switch to passive defense. After all, the lack of troops and the large-scale expansion of the territory.

All this caused Han to lose the current calm situation, and the current expansion of troops has not yet been completed. After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Di made a decision in his heart, and then slowly stood up and said.

"The old man looked at this matter as an outsider, so he saw it quite clearly. In this case, we can directly send troops to Zhongwu and Pi County, take these two cities in the shortest time, and show our strength. "

"Since Fu Chai is so afraid of Mr. Sun, at this time we have shown a strong attack power, which is like a bow and arrow ready to go, and it is also a perfect deterrent to other vassal states."

"The old man really has a unique vision, but now between Jin and Wu, I am afraid that there has been an agreement in private. Even if Wu dare not fight with Han to the end in the future, they will use the power of Jin to weaken us. Han country."

At this time, Yan He laughed, as if he wanted to understand something, so he slapped his hands and spoke.

"I understand what the old man meant. He hoped that our country of Han could accumulate strength at this time to deter Wu from acting rashly. At the same time, at this time, we should focus on internal affairs."

"Take care of the Han Kingdom like a crop, so that in the future, when the harvest comes, there will be a great harvest. Only in this way can we follow the way of heaven, and everything will come to fruition."

After he finished speaking, Mengdi's face showed a thoughtful look, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. He felt that he was still a little concerned and confused, and then he took a deep breath, and then said.

"It can only be said that each has its own advantages. If Wu is captured at this time, Han will miss the best opportunity for development, because Jin has not yet recovered, and the civil strife in Qi has just ended."

"If our Han country can't take advantage of this time to develop, and wait until the Jin country grows stronger in the future, then we will usher in a national war. If we don't attack the Wu country at this time, then we can advance and retreat or defend."

"And use this time to accumulate strength and prepare for future external expansion. Now I think it is still the old man's opinion, which can be suitable for the Han Dynasty, but now the army is ready, and I will lead the troops to Tancheng."

"Mr. Yan will rest for a while after he comes back now. If he can successfully force Wu to retreat this time, then Han will have to entrust his affairs to the outside world. I just don't know what you think about it."

After hearing this, Yan He frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and said.

"If this is the case, we can join forces with the Kingdom of Wei and the Kingdom of Lu. Their position is very important, and they are also the buffer zone between Jin and Han. Now Qi's strength has declined, and it will take some time to recover."

"So our main goal at this time is to put the country above Wei. At least we must behave like this, so that King Wu Fucha can feel that Han has put all his energy in the north, and he can breathe a sigh of relief."

"At that time, we can make an alliance with Wu and make an alliance to eliminate soldiers. In this way, at least in a short period of time, the south of Han will remain stable, and we can continue to provide Wu with money and food."

"The State of Yue is also developing its own power in private now. If we lose the suppression of the State of Wu, we may face a joint attack by the State of Chu and the State of Yue. So now the State of Wu is actually a barrier for our Han State. .”
