Chapter 2940 The war in Yingzhou escalates, and Shuchu is lured to the end (End)

Liu Yu's life has been very difficult recently. As for the reason, it is naturally because his only ally in the northwest, the Sui Kingdom, has perished.

Liu Yu was also very puzzled by this. After all, the Sui State was not a soft persimmon. It could fight its way out in such a chaotic situation in Yongliang. It had also been able to fight the Qin army back and forth before. How could it happen this time? How could the Qin army be defeated so quickly? He was destroyed before he could even send reinforcements.

With the demise of the Sui Kingdom, the Shu Han Dynasty fell into an isolated and helpless situation in the northwest. It could only fight against the forces of the Qin Dynasty, Yongliang, Hehai and the four states alone. The great pressure can be imagined.

If he could concentrate his troops, Liu Yu wouldn't be too afraid of the dangers of the Shu Road, but the problem is that there is still a Nanman behind him that he has not solved.

There are the four states of Qin in the north, and the Nanman barbarians in the south are causing trouble all day long. Under attack from both sides, even Liu Yu doesn't have much confidence.

Originally, Liu Yu wanted to win over Tubo as an ally, but after experiencing the defeat of Haizhou, Tubo King Songtsen Gampo was so angry that he vomited blood, his body plummeted, and it was hard to say how long he would live.

In addition, the internal situation in Tubo is also extremely unstable. The original bereaved dog Yelv Deguang has the potential to counterattack. Now Tubo is struggling to even protect itself, let alone support the Shu Han.

Therefore, when the news came that Da Qin had won consecutive battles in the Central Plains, Liu Yu was so worried that his hair turned white, and he kept sighing every day. After all, every step forward by Da Qin in the Central Plains meant that the Shu Han's demise was accelerated.

Liu Yu didn't understand that the situation suddenly declined to this point. He obviously didn't make any mistakes. In the end, he could only conclude that his teammates were holding him back.

It's all Yang Guang's fault. If he hadn't suddenly stretched his hips like this, how could Li Jing have easily unified the northwest.

Yang Guang was indeed defeated this time, but Liu Yu still had a great teammate, and that was Liu Xiu.

Compared to Yang Guang, Liu Xiu was simply too ambitious. He never held back, and every time he took the initiative, he was extremely effective. This time, he seized the opportunity of a thousand years and was about to destroy the Wu Kingdom.

Once the Chu State completely destroys the Wu State, it will be able to completely occupy the Yangtze River defense line. By then, the situation of the Shu-Chu Alliance will be much better. At least it will not be unable to fight back against the Great Qin, but the power of the Chu State will be completely surpassed. After defeating the Shu Han, Liu Xiu will also replace Liu Yu and become the savior of the Han Dynasty in the hearts of those who love the Han Dynasty.

How could this make Liu Yu, the Han emperor, feel so embarrassed?

Until this time, Liu Yu finally regretted his act of proclaiming emperor.

Although there are many advantages to proclaiming the emperor, there are even more disadvantages. Not only did it attract the full revenge of the Qin Dynasty, but also lost the three counties of Hanzhong, and it also caused internal turmoil.

If I had known that it would lead to today's situation, it would be better to keep Liu Bian. Anyway, it is just a mascot and does not pose any threat to his power. However, there is no turning back.

At this point, Liu Yu regretted it no matter how late it was, so he could only do his best to repair the broken ship of Shu Han that was about to sink.

Fortunately, God still favored Liu Yu. After the loss of the two counties of Yinan, the support of the mining industry in the two counties was lost, and there was a serious financial gap in the Shu Han Dynasty. However, gold mines were found in Chengdu soon after, which not only solved the financial crisis, but also accelerated the development of the Shu Han Dynasty. Restore previous battle damage.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to completely restore Shu to its pre-war state with just a small gold mine. Even if the mine is hollowed out, it will not be enough, so Liu Yu has been actively increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

In terms of cost-saving, in order to save money, Liu Yu would personally check every large expenditure on Shuhan's internal development, and basically saved all possible areas in the province.

As for open source, you are lucky enough to find a small gold mine. It is obviously unrealistic to find another one in the short term, so Liu Yu decided to follow the example of firefighter Liu Xiu and make money by selling arms.

By selling prisoners of war and warships to the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, Liu Yu, who had made a fortune in war, could be said to have made a lot of money. This made Liu Yu jealous and jealous, but to whom should he sell the arms?

Regardless of the continuous wars in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, whether it was the expansion of the armies of the Wei, Song, Ming, and Wu kingdoms, or the various rebel armies in the Central Plains, they seemed to be short of equipment, but they could not become Shu Han's customers.

Because the products of the four countries are enough to meet the demand, and even if there is such a discount, they will digest it internally to achieve resource complementation, and it will never be allowed to be occupied by the Shu Han.

After searching around, Liu Yu found that he could only do business with Tubo and sell arms to the ambitious Yelu Deguang.

Liu Yu would not have done this before. After all, the stable Tubo could ask for help. However, with Songtsen Gampo seriously ill, the situation in Tubo has become turbulent. It seems that it makes no difference whether he adds this fire or not. , might as well take this opportunity to make a fortune.

Even if Shu Han sells arms to Yelv Deguang, it is destined to be a small arms purchase with a limited quantity. It is not that Liu Yu is reluctant to sell, but that Yelu Deguang has a small appetite and cannot buy so much.

Therefore, for the Shu Han, the arms business can only temporarily satisfy their greed, but cannot always be a big fish and meat. The best way to open up resources is to destroy the Southern Barbarians.

Liu Yu dreamed of wiping out the Southern Barbarians. After all, as long as the Southern Barbarians could be wiped out, the Shu Han would not only gain a state and millions of people, but also obtain the coveted access to the sea necessary for colonization.

In fact, the Shu Han also had this strength, but with the Great Qin in the north to contain it, they were unable to concentrate all their efforts on dealing with the southern barbarians. Therefore, the Great Qin became another obstacle that the Shu Han could not get around.

"Do we have to wait until the Chu Kingdom destroys Wu and then the two countries send troops to conquer the Southern Barbarians again?"

Liu Yu thought with great reluctance, but it was obviously not safe to do so. After all, Da Qin provided supplies to the Southern Barbarians, and the terrain of Yunzhou was extremely complicated, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The two countries had not been able to destroy the Southern Barbarians before when they jointly sent troops. , naturally there is no guarantee that the Southern Barbarians will be wiped out if they continue.

As long as the Southern Barbarians cannot be destroyed, the Shu Han's expansion path will be blocked, and there will be no way to increase national power.

The originally powerful Shu Han, the second most powerful country in the world, has unknowingly fallen into a dilemma with no way out, while its mortal enemy Da Qin will become stronger and stronger. Regarding this foreseeable and desperate future, Liu Yu was really distressed and helpless. Naturally, he was unwilling to be eliminated like this. However, military advisor Su Qin came up with another plan at this time, which was to participate in the war between Wei, Song, Ming and Wu. overseas colonization, take a share of the pie, and use colonial financial resources to restore war damage.

This proposal immediately made Liu Yu's eyes light up. After all, he was always paying attention to the colonial situation of various countries and knew how much benefits colonization contained.

In order for the four kingdoms of Wei, Song, Ming, and Wu to accept the Shu Han, Liu Yu even made a guarantee that he would not need territory but only money, but even so, no country was willing to accept the Shu Han.

At this point, Liu Yu's colonial dream was completely shattered. He wanted to send troops to plunder Nanyang, but the Nanman barbarians blocked his way. He wanted to enter Yingzhou to pan for gold, but no country took him to play, so he could only give up his extravagant hopes and honestly Developing internal affairs alone will cause harm.

But what Liu Yu never expected was that he himself had given up on the idea of ​​colonization. Instead, the local forces in Yingzhou, thousands of miles away, came to ask him to colonize themselves. This was simply outrageous. Open the door for outrageousness, outrageousness is home.

Yizhou, Chengdu, outside the palace hall.

Emperor Shitian's only female disciple, Tianmen Goddess Luo Xian, was serving as the envoy of the Toyotomi family, waiting for the summons of Han Emperor Liu Yu in the main hall, and waiting with her was Cao Ying, the envoy of Cao Wei.

Luo Xian comes from the TV series "Wind and Cloud II", and his implanted identity is basically the same as before, while Cao Ying comes from the movie "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Disarm".

This terrible Hong Kong movie "The Dragon Takes Off Its Armor" is really outrageous. Cao Ying, the granddaughter of Cao Cao in the drama, is actually on a par with Zhao Yun.

Even if Cao Ying is fighting against the elderly Zhao Yun, it is outrageous enough, but what is even more outrageous is that she actually falls in love with Zhao Yun on the battlefield, who is old enough to be his grandfather. It is really hard to complain.

The identity implanted after Cao Ying was born could not be Cao Cao's granddaughter. After all, Cao Ang was only in his twenties, so she was implanted as Cao Cao's concubine.

A man as lustful as Cao Cao naturally had many children. The six daughters that can be verified include Cao Xian and Cao Jie. There are naturally many more that cannot be verified, and Cao Ying was implanted into one of the concubines who was not taken seriously.

Cao Cao actually didn't attach much importance to the concept of legitimate concubines. He could even treat his adopted son as his own, but he still didn't pay much attention to his concubine. If Cao Ying hadn't been very talented in martial arts, he might not have had any impression of this daughter. .

When he saw that Cao Wei's envoy was a female cultivator like himself, and had an extraordinary demeanor and a calm and calm face, Luo Xian became curious about this heroic girl.

After learning that the other party was actually Cao Cao's daughter, Luo Xian couldn't help but lamented in his heart that the other party was unlucky.

After all, Cao Xian and Cao Jie, both Cao Cao's daughters and legitimate daughters, could marry Ying Hao and become the noble concubine of the Qin Dynasty, while Cao Ying had to travel around the world.

You know, Cao Wei is not far away from the country's subjugation, and the fate of the subjugated princess will not be too good.

While Luo Xian was curious about Cao Ying, Cao Ying was also extremely curious about Luo Xian. After all, this girl clearly looked like a Han Chinese and had profound Taoist internal skills, but she was an envoy of the Japanese country and she had a mysterious personality all over her body. There is a sense of mystery that makes it difficult not to feel curious.

"It seems that your Japanese country's hidden power in the Central Plains is not small."

Hearing Cao Ying's words, Luo Xian said without thinking: "No matter how young I am, I can't compare to you Cao Wei."

“…”

The embarrassed Cao Ying thought for a moment and then continued to ask: "Do you think Emperor Han will believe what we say?"

After Luo Xian was silent for a while, he said with some lack of confidence: "I should be able to."

In fact, the biggest concern of Cao Ying and Luo Xian is not whether the Shu Han will agree to send troops, but Liu Yuxiang does not believe in their identities. After all, from the perspective of the Shu Han, this kind of pie-in-the-sky behavior of sending someone to the door to find someone to kill, It obviously looks like a trap.

Even if they could prove their identity, it still couldn't prove that their identity was true. What if Da Qin intercepted it in advance and then used it to deceive Shu Han?

It would be good if the Shu Han could quickly confirm the authenticity, but the crux of the problem is that it is not easy to verify. After all, Yizhou is thousands of miles away from Yanzhou alone, and it is even thousands of miles away from Yingzhou. After the Shu Han has verified the authenticity, I'm afraid more than a month has passed since this time.

Too many things can happen in one month. The Sui Kingdom was destroyed by Qin in one month. Who knows what the situation will be like in Yingzhou more than a month later?

Therefore, both Luo Xian and Cao Ying complained in their hearts that their master (brother) entrusted them with such a dangerous task. This was completely gambling on Liu Yu's courage.

It would be better if Liu Yu just lacked courage and didn't want to take the gamble. If he decided that they were Da Qin Xizuo, then there would definitely be no return for the two of them this time.

The two women were not sure about this. After all, after the two of them revealed their identities and expressed their intention to come, Liu Yu not only did not summon the two of them immediately, but instead left them outside the palace for two hours.

Of course, this is not that Liu Yu doesn't pay attention to the two women, it's just that he pays too much attention to it, but he can't confirm the authenticity of this matter, so he asked the two women to wait outside the palace while he summoned a group of counselors to carry out the investigation. Negotiate.

At this time, in the main hall of Shuhan Palace, the senior officials of Shuhan showed two completely different attitudes towards the arrival of Luo Xian and Cao Ying.

Naturally, there are many strategists among the senior officials of the Shu Han Dynasty. It is easy to confirm the authenticity of the two women's identities, but it is not so easy to tell whether this is a trap of Da Qin.

But most people, including Liu Yu, still chose to believe the two women. After all, the matter itself was outrageous enough, but they did not think that Da Qin would go to such extent to deceive them.
