Chapter 378 - 378: The Bad Intentions of the Various Countries
After this batch of high-yield grain was harvested, they were all harvested and used as grain seeds. They were distributed to the people of the various provinces and counties of Great Wei to plant. At this moment, the people of Great Wei all believed that after this season, no one would go hungry again!
At this moment, they felt the blood in their hearts boiling, and they bowed in the direction of the Capital in unison.
This time, Great Wei’s discovery of high-yield grain naturally could not be hidden from the surrounding countries. For a moment, the royal families of Qing, Dong Yue, Yi, and Yin were all shocked and wanted to send people to Great Wei to investigate.
The king of Qing Kingdom was a sinister and cunning middle-aged man. At this moment, he was discussing some matters with his ministers with a livid face.
“We can’t wait any longer. If Great Wei really has that high-yield grain, it will be even more difficult for us to attack Great Wei in the future. Without high-yield grain, the Great Wei Kingdom was able to survive for so many years under the siege of the four kingdoms. If they have high-yield grain now, then it will be terrible. Go, ask General Niuqi to quickly take down Huan City and go straight to Shangjing!’
The minister furrowed his brows. “I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to attack. Taking down Yu City has already taken a lot of our strength. Now the troops are resting and regrouping. If we attack by force, I’m afraid we will suffer countless casualties.”
“Lord Wang is right. Moreover, that high-yield grain thing from the Great Wei might just be a smoke bomb. How could such a thing exist in this world? If we continue to send out our troops, we will fall into their trap. I heard that the Crown Prince of Wei is leading his troops to Huan City. We know how difficult it is to deal with their soldiers. I’m afraid that when they take Huan City, both sides will suffer losses. When the Crown Prince comes, he will directly take back the two cities. It’s better to defend Yu City and take back the rest of the cities. ”
One of the officials snorted in disagreement, “Lord Jiang, it’s easy for you to say. What if the Crown Prince comes and attacks Yu City, and Yu City is taken back? It’s not like there haven’t been such situations before’
The king of the Qing Kingdom could not bear to hear such words that boosted others’ morale and diminished his own prestige. Although the Great Wei Kingdom was somewhat powerful, he felt that there were not many of them in the Qing Kingdom, so he angrily said, “Alright! I asked you to come here to think of a way, not to quarrel! We can’t do this, we can’t do that, what do you guys think we should do?”
One of the officials lowered his head and looked left and right. He hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and said, “Your Majesty, why don’t we send people to negotiate with the other three kingdoms? Our four kingdoms will temporarily cease fire, and then we will attack the Wei Kingdom together. The Wei Kingdom can’t possibly have three heads and six arms and be able to defend against all of us. After we take down the Wei Kingdom, we can discuss other things.”
His words caused the monarch of Qing Kingdom to ponder. After a long while, he frowned and said, “No, what if the other three countries don’t keep their promise? We’ve just sent out all our forces here, and they’ve already sent people to attack us. I don’t believe the words of those three old men. Moreover, after we take down Great Wei, all the land will be ours. It’s not worth it to attack together and still have to share it with them.”
Seeing that the Emperor did not agree with his plan, the person who made the suggestion immediately lowered his head and did not speak. In his opinion, the Emperor was too confident. Did he really think that the Qing Kingdom could swallow up the Great Wei Kingdom?
If it were not for the covetous eyes of the other countries, the Great Wei Kingdom would have swallowed the Qing Kingdom.
It was not that he was trying to boost the enemy’s morale, but he had personally witnessed the terrifying strength of the Great Wei Kingdom. Because the king did not agree, this plan was temporarily put on hold..
