The three armies of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the world-famous Huben Army did not get any advantages in Dazhou, let alone the Xiyi tribe.
The Xiyi tribe was a tribe in the Daliang period.
During the reign of Daliang, the Xiyi tribe was always suppressed by Daliang, and bowed their heads for Daliang.
After Daliang fell, the Xiyi tribe gradually had a respite.
However, the Xiyi tribe is located in a remote area, even more remote than the Northern Qi Dynasty. In addition, most of them are tribal alliances, so they have not developed like the Seven Kingdoms.
Therefore, the military strength and national power are not as good as the seven countries that coexist now.
"The crown prince's words are contrary to common sense. Now that I am in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, even though I won the battle, it was a miserable victory. How can the Xiyi tribe send troops to invade at this time, how can it be compared with the situation of the Northern Wei Dynasty's invasion at that time?"
Zhou Zheng argued.
When the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded, Dazhou was a force in the first battle.
"How different!"
Zhou Heng disagreed with Zhou Zheng's words.
But Zhou Heng still agreed with his words.
"Prince, tell me why you congratulated me?"
Emperor Guangxiao still asked Zhou Heng to talk about why he wanted to congratulate himself.
The current situation is not Daoxi's situation. Zhou Heng must have his own reasons for saying this.
"Reporting to my father, I feel that this is a god-given opportunity."
Zhou Heng said.
"Where is the good opportunity?" Emperor Guangxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that there was something in Zhou Heng's words.
"Reporting to my father, I feel that if I want to become stronger in Dazhou, the first goal is not the Three Kingdoms in the north, nor the Southern Chu, Southern Tang, and Southern Liang in the south, but our Xiyi tribe in the west!"
Zhou Heng explained why he wanted to congratulate.
"go on."
Emperor Guangxiao asked Zhou Heng to continue talking.
"Today's general situation, my Great Zhou has Southern Chu, Southern Liang, and Southern Tang in the south, Zhao Guo, Northern Qi, and Northern Wei in the north, and my Great Zhou is caught in the middle. There is no room for development between the north and the south, only business exchanges. It's not a long-term solution, if the countries and I stop doing business, what do you think we should do?"
Blindly relying on economic and trade development, even though you will be rich in the end, you will also become a fat sheep in the eyes of others.
"The Great Zhou wants to be strong. The foundation is not in the north and south, but in the east and west. Go west to Hanzhong to recover the Xiyi tribe. They have a vast territory and fertile land. That is the foundation of our Great Zhou."
Zhou Heng said proudly.
This Xiyi tribe is the fundamental capital that God gave them to gain a foothold in Dazhou.
It is a gift from God.
"The prince means to capture the Xiyi tribe?" Emperor Guangxiao also understood Zhou Heng's meaning at this time.
Zhou Heng nodded.
"Of course, the Xiyi tribe is a land without an owner. Even if we don't take it now, someone will take it in the future. Nanliang, Zhao Guo, how could they let go of this big piece of fat, I Da Zhou will start first In order to take this Xiyi tribe by force."
Zhou Heng clenched his fists. Previously, they had no name in Dazhou, but now it is different. The Xiyi tribe invaded Hanzhong, so they had a reason to send troops.
As long as the teacher is famous, no one will say anything.
Therefore, in Zhou Heng's view, this is a god-sent opportunity. God gave them a chance to attack the Xiyi tribe. From this perspective, Zhang Wude still did a good thing.
Emperor Guangxiao didn't say anything directly.
All civil and military officials were also silent, but Yu Shilin and others finally understood why Zhou Heng said it was a good thing.
It is indeed a good thing from Zhou Heng's point of view.
Yu Shilin and others couldn't help but admire Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng's vision is really too high, and it can even be said that he sees too far away. They only saw Hanzhong, but Zhou Heng saw the world.
If it can really take the land of the Xiyi tribe, Da Zhou will have a foothold. After all, the current Da Zhou is living in the gap between the six kingdoms.
Such a geographical location is extremely unfavorable to Da Zhou.
The six countries can threaten Da Zhou at any time.
So if you want to get rid of the threat, the Xiyi tribe is indeed a good choice.
Thinking of this, Yu Shilin and others finally admitted that Zhou Heng was too powerful.
"We have to turn our backs on customers and take the initiative in our own hands. This is a very good opportunity. The Xiyi tribe is the fat that sent us."
Zhou Heng replied.
"But have you ever thought about it? I have a big week now.What kind of ability? "Zhou Zheng asked Zhou Heng to be clear about the current situation of Da Zhou.
"You have to ask the Ministry of War about this matter."
Zhou Heng looked at Qu Xu.
Qu Xu is now Minister of War, so he should be able to give an answer.
"Reporting to the emperor, the Ministry of War can provide 200,000 troops with food and food." Qu Xu replied directly that Dong Ping has been selling poorly, but in fact the Ministry of War has become very rich these years.
"Even if there is money and food, where can the soldiers find it?" Zhou Zheng asked again.
"Where there is military pay and rations, there are soldiers and horses. There is no need for the King of Lu to worry about this." Zhou Heng turned back. Zhou Zheng was just a prince playing tricks in the court, how did he know how to march and fight.
"you?"
Zhou Zheng didn't expect Zhou Heng to be so disrespectful to himself.
"My majesty, I do not agree with what the prince said. Although the Xiyi tribe is insignificant, it should not be underestimated. It is not easy for my Da Zhou to annex the Xiyi tribe, and it is very likely that it will fall into a deadlock."
Qiu Yeming stood up and expressed his opposition to Zhou Heng's proposal.
"Then what does Lord Qiu mean?" Zhou Heng asked back.
"Peace is the main thing!" Qiu Yeming said.
Qiu Yeming felt that they should mainly appease them.
"The main thing is to appease? To put it bluntly, it is to negotiate a peace!" Zhou Heng looked at Qiu Yeming and his tone became a little cold. He did not expect that there were still people who wanted to negotiate a peace.
"Peace is the main thing, not a peace negotiation! Father, the ministers agree with Lord Qiu's words, so appeasement is the main thing. Zhang Wude and the Xiyi tribe have an alliance of interests. They just need to do what they like, and they will collapse on their own. There is no need to worry about it."
Zhou Zheng felt that what Qiu Yeming said made sense.
"Then how to appease?"
Emperor Guangxiao asked.
"The Xiyi tribe is located in a remote place. They are mainly nomadic, and their commerce and trade are not developed. If they sign a covenant with each other, open up trade, and mutually benefit each other, the Xiyi tribe will definitely not be an enemy of our Great Zhou."
Zhou Zheng put forward his own ideas.
Hearing Zhou Zheng's thoughts, Zhou Heng couldn't help laughing, reasoning with the robber? This is really funny.
How could the Xiyi tribe agree to your proposal so easily? They will use this to open their mouths. Once Dazhou sends people to negotiate, it is tantamount to showing weakness.
Once showing weakness, things will become different.
"Secondly, Zhang Wude's rebellion was only because of Zhang Cong. We can confer Zhang Cong the title of Marquis." Zhou Zhen said.
For this second proposal, Zhou Zhen meant to ask the court to admit his mistakes to Zhang Wude.
Zhou Heng was not optimistic about the two proposals.
"Your Majesty, I feel that His Royal Highness King Lu's proposal is good. We should give priority to appeasement and defeat them one by one. If it is feasible, my Great Zhou will definitely be able to surrender without fighting, without wasting a single soldier." Some people stood up and expressed their support for Zhou. Startled proposal.
In the current situation, in the eyes of many people, it is not appropriate for them to go to war again. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
