Chapter 346 Desperate

When the war broke out in the north, Kong Donglai in Nanyang County looked miserable, and he was powerless to face the reality.

"How could I be here today!" Kong Donglai roared, but no one could answer.

The state of Jin has completely withdrawn, and no longer cares about the affairs of Nanyang County. Afterwards, Dongyuan County had no moral integrity and directly and unconditionally took refuge in Anyang; Yuan Yong, once an evergreen tree in politics, also became Anyang's think tank!

Then, Anyang announced that he would not accept Nanyang County's refuge, and labeled Nanyang County a "traitor". Now, mercenary regiments, commercial firms, etc. from Anyang are pouring into Nanyang County like greedy wolves.

"Report, new news from Anyang!" A soldier sent a newspaper.

Kong Donglai took it and took a look. The title was "May the friendship between Anyang and Jin last forever". The 200,000 Jin prisoners there have been released unconditionally.

Seeing this news, Kong Donglai's eyes turned black!

It turned out that about 450,000 prisoners were captured when the Jin State was defeated. There are 250,000 prisoners in Nanyang County, which have been rescued by the Jin State; but there are still 200,000 prisoners in Dongyuan County. Today, after Dongyuan County took refuge in Anyang, Anyang still released these captives unconditionally.

It should be very beautiful for Anyang to do so. First, after Anyang's victory, he said that Anyang did not want the prisoners of the Jin State, and left all the prisoners of the Jin State to Nanyang County and Dongyuan County. After Dongyuan County was merged into Anyang unconditionally, those captives belonging to Dongyuan County also became Anyang.

But Anyang had already said that he would not want the prisoners of Jin, so Li Xian kept his promise, and these prisoners were released unconditionally.

Second, Anyang no longer needs to use the 200,000 captives to coerce the Jin State. Since the captives cannot bring benefits to Anyang, it is better to simply release them in exchange for reputation.

Third, the release of captives will help improve the relationship between Anyang and Jin. Especially after Dongyuan County took refuge in Anyang, Anyang directly borders Jin State, and the relationship is too tense.

Now between Jin and Anyang, there is both face and face, and the relationship is unprecedentedly harmonious-well, the first contact between Anyang and Jin is war.

But no matter what, the state of Jin voted peaches—not to intervene in Nanyang County, and Anyang rewarded Li—unconditionally released all the prisoners, which established a good foundation for future exchanges between the two parties.

In this way, Nanyang County, which is sandwiched between Anyang and Jin, is completely in danger.

"what to do?"

"How about..." Guo Hongyan took a few deep breaths, "Let's cooperate with Songzhou County and Guangling County. Now that Xiao Country, Tang Country, and Anyang have appeared in the north one after another, the general trend is set.

Only in the south, there are our Nanyang, Songzhou, and Guangling counties who have nothing to do.

The state of Qi in the west is about to move again, and has been trying to occupy Guangling County.

Now the three of us can only gain room for development if we unite together.

And things must be done quickly, otherwise, when Xiao Guo, Tang Guo, and Anyang consolidate their existing foundations, it will be the moment of our demise! "

Kong Donglai gritted his teeth, apparently making a great determination; the surroundings were silent, waiting for Kong Donglai to make up his mind. In fact, until now, Kong Donglai's clan uncle, Kong Xiang, was still controlled by the Wang family.

At least 30% of the reasons why Nanyang County is today can be attributed to Guangling County and the Wang family. Because without Kong Xiang, the political helmsman, Nanyang County lacks a little vision, political vision and guidance in many things.

After thinking for a long time, Kong Donglai had to sigh. Now there is really no better way; either wait for death, or unite with Guangling County and Songzhou County. To say that Guangling County and Songzhou County were not seen by Kong Dong, at least in the past.

The Wang family relied on their daughter to be in power, and relying on Concubine Hua Gui to charm the emperor to gain their current status; as for Gao Bin, when Anyang attacked, he retreated without fighting, and he didn't even notify his comrades in Nanyang County; knife. It can be said that Gao Bin "has made great contributions" to Nanyang County's success today.

If Gao Bin sent a message to make Nanyang County take precautions, Nanyang County would never have suffered such a disastrous defeat. It was in that war that the great foundation of Nanyang County began to be shaken. The small half of the elite died in battle, the confidence of the soldiers was shaken, and the generals lost peace; coupled with the continuous mistakes in the later period, Nanyang County was finally pushed into the abyss of eternal doom.

But now, it can only unite with Guangling County and Songzhou County.

"This time, I will personally go to Guangling County to negotiate!" Kong Donglai coldly rejected Guo Hongyan's offer and self-recommendation. Recently, Guo Hongyan went out twice, both of which ended in failure; therefore, Guo Hongyan was not trusted by Kong Donglai anymore.

At this moment, Kong Donglai was a little crazy and unreasonable.

Guo Hongyan pursed her lips and stepped back, suddenly she and Nangong Zhi looked at each other, and both saw bitterness and confusion in each other's eyes. Needless to say bitterness, confusion is also very simple-this is the fairyland, no matter what you do, everyone has an ultimate pursuit, that is to ascend in the daylight.

But now, the development of Nanyang County and Kong Donglai's performance made Guo Hongyan and Nangong Zhi confused.

Kong Donglai didn't care and didn't pay attention: "(Kong) Yingzhi, take care of your family, I will go to Guangling County in person."

…………

When Kong Donglai had no choice but to join forces with the enemy, or even the enemy, a discussion was also going on in the state of Cai in the north.

Maybe God bless Cai Guo (who knows). After entering Sanchuan, Emperor Cai Guo completely controlled this place; years of painstaking management made this the last base of Cai Guo.

In the simple court hall, Huang Fu ranked first on the left, Marshal Ye and Ye Weirong ranked first on the right, and the two guarded the center of Emperor Cai on the left and the right. Sitting on the temporary throne, Emperor Cai Guo glanced coldly at the twenty or so officials who had been screened.

After experiencing such a disaster, His Majesty the Emperor of Cai Guo seemed to wake up, like a waking tiger. All the officials looked down, not daring to look directly.

Looking around for a long time, Emperor Cai finally spoke: "The Prime Minister (Huang Fu) is right, Cai needs a transformation. After this disaster, my Cai seems to be weaker, but it is more united, which is stronger than before. It is commendable, because of industrial and commercial reasons, we not only have rich wealth, but also have a solid foundation.

In the future, we will learn from Anyang and develop the country with business. Use industry to strengthen the country, arm soldiers, use business to make a fortune, and enrich the treasury! "

"Your Majesty is holy!" Huang Fu shouted, it seemed that he was excited to see a fairy descending from the earth.

Emperor Cai Guo looked at Huang Fu, and suddenly smiled, but the smile was a bit meaningful, "Prime Minister, set up a Ministry of Justice to learn from Anyang. Anyang's legal encyclopedia is for public sale, so you can buy it for reference."

Huang Fu was taken aback for a moment, feeling angry in his heart. Although Anyang encourages industry and commerce, officials must not engage in industry and commerce. According to Anyang, officials are referees, and referees cannot participate in specific matters.

Then, if the laws of Anyang are adopted, Huang Fu will not be able to be an official and do business at the same time, playing the good game of "combination of government and business".

The success and great success of Anyang have proved the correctness and authority of Anyang's laws, so...Huang Fu has no way to refute it.

However, before Huang Fu could react and stop him, an official stood up, "Your Majesty, there is a saying in Anyang called 'in business, talk about business, recognize money but not people'. As long as it costs 50,000 taels of gold, Anyang can dispatch Senior officials in the judiciary have guided Cai Guo to establish a new judicial system. With another 50,000 taels of gold, Anyang can help us plan a basic industrial and commercial development direction. This is clearly marked in Anyang.

We are now in a race against time, and directly hiring Anyang's judicial team will allow us to establish a new political system in the shortest possible time and an industrial system as soon as possible.

Even, as long as it costs 10,000 taels of gold, Anyang can help us train ten officials.

I dare you to ask Your Majesty to establish Cai Guoxin's new political system as soon as possible at a certain price. And Anyang's commercial reputation can be trusted for the time being. "

I don't want this to give Huang Fu an excuse. "Zhu Chongde, do you have a business relationship with Anyang? We just finished fighting Anyang, and Anyang just killed our millions of people, and we turned to Anyang for help. What do you make the people think? What do you let the officials think? How do you let the soldiers who fought bloody battles deal with themselves? Ah! Tell me!"

Don't say it, Huang Fu's words are very reasonable!

Zhu Chongde stood proudly against Huang Fu's pressure and anger, as well as the awe-inspiring murderous intent deep in Huang Fu's eyes, "Your Majesty, although we had a war with Anyang, the development and encouragement of Anyang's business is beyond everyone's imagination. of."

After finishing speaking, after a short pause, Zhu Chongde turned to Huang Fu, "Prime Minister, do you know that the reason why Marshal Ye Weirong came ahead of schedule this time is because the merchants in Anyang helped deliver the news.

It was the businessmen in Anyang who helped pass the news to Marshal Ye, so Marshal Ye could control Sanchuan in advance and rescue His Majesty at the last moment. "

Wow... As soon as these words came out, Cai Guo's small court exploded.

Huang Fu couldn't believe it: "The merchants in Anyang actually help us pass the news? Don't they all say that the merchants in Anyang are very protective of Anyang's interests?"

Zhu Chongde's eyes seemed to recall: "I also asked this question. As a result, the businessmen in Anyang told me that taking care of the business is the best way to protect the interests of Anyang. Business is the basic law of Anyang business.

Moreover, it is relatively simple to transmit information. If the merchants in Anyang do not do it, others will do it; instead of letting others do it, it is better for Anyang to do it by itself.

I hired an Anyang businessman to help deliver the news at noon yesterday; as a result, the news was delivered to Dashuai Ye yesterday evening. Marshal Ye also relied on Anyang businessmen to pass on information and orders, so that he could quickly control Sanchuan and mobilize the army.

Among them, we paid a total of 70,000 taels of gold for information transmission, but it won us at least three days. "
