Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 458 Insufficient Greed
"General Yue, please." Shen Muyu sat upright and did not move, but turned to look at Han Shang, and said in a warm voice: "Han Shang, please send it to General Yue on my behalf."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Han Shang cupped his hands in response, and then made a gesture of invitation to the curtain, and said, "General Yue, all generals and military advisers, please."

Several generals and military advisers of the Chen State saluted Shen Muyu again, and then they filed towards the curtain and left one after another under the leadership of Han Shang.

After General Yue and the others left, the people in the tent took their seats one after another, and all of them waited silently for a while, until the cold cup of wine went away and returned, and after greeting Shen Muyu, they sat on an empty chair at random. Fangcai turned his head to look at Shen Muyu, frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I have something that I don't understand."

Shen Muyu raised her eyes to look at him when she heard the words, and said in a gentle voice, "Please tell Zheng Qing."

The literati surnamed Zheng said in a low voice: "As long as the strategy you told General Chen Guoyue is successful, the Wen Kingdom is likely to be destroyed, but our country is too far away from the Wen Kingdom. Even if some land is occupied, it will be inconvenient to manage. Coupled with the prying eyes of the surrounding countries, it is almost impossible for us to truly own these lands, and all the land of the Wen Kingdom will surely fall into the hands of the Chen Kingdom. Even though we form an alliance with the Chen Kingdom, if the Chen Kingdom is too powerful, it will not do us any good, right? "

Shen Muyu shook his head, and said with a light smile: "Zheng Qing think about it carefully, although Wen Guo is not too big, it is not too small, if Chen Guo is really greedy and really wants to occupy all of Wen Guo, they will divide their troops to control it." Live in the whole country of Wen State. Leaving aside the turmoil and resistance of the local people of Wen State, will the surrounding Ji and Jin Congresses just ignore it? If Chen Guo really sends out a surprise army to break through the city, his country will only suffer from the remnants of Wen State. Resisting the enmity between Ji and Jin, the emperor might even send envoys to send an edict of accountability, wouldn't it be the target of public criticism?"

Hearing what Shen Muyu said, the literati surnamed Zheng thought about it for a second, nodded suddenly and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true, and this subject is stupid."

Shen Muyu was silent for a moment, and said leisurely: "Chen Guo fought all the way to Yuyang Pass with the help of our country, and has already obtained great benefits. The most important thing they should do is to attack Yuyang Pass to scare Wen Guo , and then sent a discerning person to the city of Wen to ask Wen Guo to send a pledge to negotiate a peace with him, and then stopped the army. But Chen Guo was not greedy enough, and he did not hesitate to use the land of [-] counties to ask me to help them capture the fish. Yangguan, so what if I help them?
"Anyway, I only brought [-] soldiers and horses, and it has no effect on the situation in the middle of the country. As long as the surprise soldiers sent by General Yue succeed in attacking the city, the instability of the army here at Yuyang Pass will naturally be broken. After Yuyang Pass is broken , we immediately asked for the land of twenty counties and went back to the country, and left this mess to them to deal with, why not do it?"

The nine generals and military advisers in the tent nodded again and again, and finally said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise."

Hearing the compliments from these nine people, Shen Muyu's expression was flat and did not show any color. He looked at the scholar surnamed Zheng, and asked indifferently: "Zheng Qing, is the country safe and sound?"

"Respond to your majesty's words." The literati surnamed Zheng replied respectfully: "In the country, there is a lord from the left who is in charge of state affairs temporarily, and a lord who is from the right to assist him. Everything is safe and sound, your lord can rest assured."

Shen Muyu nodded, and continued to ask: "Is there any change in the Southern Barbarians? Are there any changes in the surrounding countries?"

The literati surnamed Zheng replied: "It's spring and the grass grows and the warblers are flying. The Nanman tribe is grazing. There is no change, and the surrounding countries dare not provoke our country."

"That's good, then I will take good care of the land of these twenty counties here." Shen Muyu said lightly: "If you have nothing to do, you can all step back."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The nine people said in unison, stood up one after another and bowed to Shen Muyu in salute:

"I will retire at the end!"

"Your servant will leave!"

Shen Muyu didn't make another sound, and she lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking.

It wasn't until he was left alone in the tent that he sighed quietly and said in a low voice: "From now on, I won't be able to see her... Sigh, I'm so self-willed..."
