Chapter 2180 Common Position
The area of these eight states accounts for one-third of the entire Ya Kingdom, which is many times larger than what Ya Kingdom ceded to Cang Yan.
Just by looking at these two clauses, one can imagine Yaren’s helplessness and fear.
These eight states have the most fertile pastures and the most densely populated areas in Ya State, and it would be unwilling to give them up if there was any possibility.
Mou Guo said:
Oh, since you are so sincere, let’s talk.
So it suspended the attacks of several armies, and the two sides exchanged letters and envoys several times, and even negotiated a face-to-face meeting between the general assistant of Mou State and the prince of Ya State.
You know, a meeting between leaders of this level cannot be achieved overnight. It requires proper communication between both parties in the early stages, and officials at all levels have to finalize many issues before they can reach this final step of the high-level meeting.
This war that lasted for almost two years finally saw the dawn of peace. The spies that Cang Yan had planted in Ya Country saw that the people in the capital were jubilant, happier than during the Chinese New Year.
In this war, Ya State was deeply hurt. Although its army was originally powerful, its overall strength was far behind that of Mou State, especially the lack of food and daily necessities. Otherwise, why would it have gone to the surrounding areas to plunder? After a year and a half of fighting, the domestic economy almost collapsed, food, medicine, weapons were all sold out, and even horses were in short supply!
If a horse is not fed with refined food and only eats grass, how can it have endurance?
Not to mention, the State of Ya lost a large number of elite fighters and laborers in the war.
It really doesn't want to fight anymore, from top to bottom, no one wants to fight anymore. Now they realize how precious peace is, and they don't want to miss any glimmer of hope.
After reading this information, He Lingchuan had only one comment:
"Yaguo is over."
"Yangquan Pass is the gate of hell for Ya Country." Du Shan also said, "You Huan has been carefully setting up traps for more than a year, and finally the time has come to close the net."
You Huan has been looking forward to this moment for a long time, right?
Mei Wuniang often sent news to Cang Yan, usually rumors and gossips from the upper class in Moudu, and rarely got anything from You Huan. This man was careful inside, and only let the cat out of the bag nine months ago in front of Mei Wuniang, and he never leaked military secrets at other times.
"It's time for us to take some action." Du Shan rolled his eyes and said, "Should we make things difficult for the Mou Kingdom?"
Anyway, they have already seen that Mou State is determined to defeat Ya State. Since it is called "at all costs", why not make it pay a higher price?
The weaker the Mou State became after the war, the more friendly and intimate it became towards Cang Yan.
He Lingchuan waved his hand and said, "No, we should give some help to Mou State. After almost two years of war, Mou State is also very tired. Now that the victory is certain, since it wants to make a concerted effort, we might as well add icing on the cake."
Du Shan said with some regret: "...Yes."
His eyes changed, and He Lingchuan knew what he was thinking: "There is no fundamental conflict between the Mou Kingdom and us. After all, we belong to the same camp and must fight against Beijia and the Heavenly Demon together."
A wise man stops when he has made a point. Du Shan immediately realized the situation and blamed himself, "I am too petty. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty!"
He was too focused on the intrigues between the countries and forgot Cang Yan's roots. But the Emperor always stood firm and followed the right path, keeping his original intention without any deviation.
"No problem, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes!"
……
A few days later, another large batch of supplies ordered by Mou State from Cangyan arrived.
Over the past year, the exchanges between Mou State and Cang Yan were close and the trade was frequent. Cang Yan's internal and external environment was stable, and it developed rapidly with the dividends of Emperor Liujiang, and it really provided Mou State with a large amount of war supplies, medicines, weapons, gunpowder, armor, etc.
Its support for Mou State is really incomparable to that of a small Bailie, but it is expensive!
The war has become more intense recently, and You Huan simply slept in the official residence instead of going back home, going to bed late and getting up early every day. However, before dawn today, the East Third Route Transport Envoy had already delivered the list of supplies to his desk, and this time he also sent an additional Xiao Zhubu over.
You Huan yawned as he flipped through the list. After reading only two pages, he let out a "hmm" and turned back to look.
"Isn't the batch we ordered from Cang Yan silver and manganese? Why are the finished special weapons delivered instead?" He looked back two pages, "The quantity is also wrong."
This batch of swords, spears, and halberds were made by the most famous foundry in Cangyan. The quality is guaranteed and it is said to be exclusively for elite soldiers. If ordinary merchants go to buy them, they will not be able to buy them at all.
Xiao Zhubu was sent to answer the questions: "Cang Yan's escort officer said that the Nine Nether Emperor was willing to help our country succeed in one fell swoop, so he personally changed the order and replaced the materials with finished special weapons, a total of 38,000 pieces!"
"Okay." You Huan's heart skipped a beat. Was this a pillow sent to him just because he was sleepy? "Have someone calculate it and pay according to the price of the finished product of the special weapon."
"Emperor Jiuyou said that this batch of weapons is a gift from Cang Yan, and no additional fees will be charged."
Oh, it’s a gift?
You Huan thought for a moment and said, "Alright. Tell the transport envoy that this batch of special weapons must be sent to the frontline immediately. There is no time to waste!"
"Yes."
When Xiao Zhubu left, You Huan closed the book and thought quietly. Soon he said to himself:
"Can Cang Yan actually figured it out?"
He was the one who formulated the overall strategy for Ya State. Why didn't Cang Yan send such a large number of special weapons earlier or later, but just when Mou State won a great victory at Yangquan Pass and was negotiating enthusiastically with Ya State?
That is to say, it is certain that Mou State will need these weapons in the future.
That is to say, it is certain that this negotiation with Mou State is just a cover, with a hidden knife behind it.
How did Emperor Jiuyou figure it out?
At that moment just now, You Huan felt the anger and uneasiness of being seen through.
This was no small matter, so after daybreak he went to the palace to report.
After listening to this, Emperor Mou raised his eyebrows and said, "He saw through your strategy."
Maybe it was just a coincidence? You Huan said something but didn't say it.
"It's not a coincidence." Emperor Mou saw through his inner thoughts. "Jiuyou sent this batch of weapons here. First, it helps us out of our urgent need. Second, he also wants to tell you that he knows what you are up to. Third, he wants to do you a favor."
You Huan said nothing.
Emperor Mou knew that he was not convinced, but he pretended not to know: "In this case, you can write a letter of thanks in my name."
"Yes."
Emperor Mou sighed again:
"Jiuyou saw the big picture from the small details. Qingyang's defeat was indeed not unfair."
Qingyang was defeated by the Jiuyou Emperor. When the news reached the Mou Kingdom, it shocked the government and the public, and no one could believe it.
Emperor Mou seldom expressed his emotions, but You Huan could hear infinite sorrow in this short sentence.
Although the focus is on Emperor Jiuyou, this sentence is actually a high recognition of Qingyang.
Could it be that the Emperor had any interaction with Beijia’s Qingyang State Master in the past?
