In the imperial study room, the emperor quietly looked at the images on the wall. His brows furrowed deeply.
Next to them, Prime Minister Ouyang Si, Zhongshu Ling Guan Zhengqing, and Yushi Zhao Duo stood quietly.
After a while, the emperor turned around and sighed: "Do you think I'm being motivated?"
At this time, the emperor seemed a little tired, and he did not call himself ¡®I¡¯.
Zhao Duo was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, although Wei Zirong wants to get something from us, he is right. This is indeed our opportunity, an opportunity to break through the eastern blockade."
The emperor took a deep breath and shook his head: "Guan Zhengqing, you tell me."
Guan Zhengqing came to Zhao Duo and pointed to the Kuo Di image on the wall: "Master Zhao, have you seen the location of our country of Qixia? We are in the far west.
If this Eastern Expedition is really successful, it will be very bad news for us. Because at that time, the Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Danyang were our ¡®East¡¯. Do you think these two countries will make things easier for us? "
"This" Zhao Duo was stunned for a moment.
Guan Zhengqing¡¯s tone was a bit serious: ¡°For us, maintaining the current situation is the greatest victory.¡±
Zhao Duo was stunned for a while, and finally asked with a little trembling: "Thenthenhow can we break through the blockade?"
Guan Zhengqing did not speak, but his eyes turned to the west. Zhang Hao's words finally spread slowly in the court, and aroused the "thinking" of some determined, brave and sharp-eyed people.
Maybe Guan Zhengqing, Ouyang Si and others don¡¯t ¡®agree¡¯ with Zhang Hao¡¯s point of view yet; but at least they have begun to think about this issue.
It is obviously impossible to expand to the east and to the land.
Ouyang Si continued to add: "Also, I don't think this Eastern Expedition can be successful, even if Langya and Qingyun are included.
To be more precise, Langya and Qingyun may win, but our six western countries may not win. "
Zhao Duo was even more confused, "Isn't the Kingdom of Jinyang planning to unite Qingyun and Langya? Then how can the victory be separated?"
Ouyang Si slowly explained: "First of all, I think that the Kingdom of Canglan and the Kingdom of Taihua have dominated the trade routes for thousands of years, and their national power is strong. Their hidden power is by no means easy.
And Langya Kingdom and Qingyun Kingdom have absolutely no ability to defeat Canglan and Taihua. Their approach should be to temporarily suppress the development momentum of Canglan and Taihua, buy themselves time, or obtain some of their own benefits through war.
And we, the Western countries, are just tools they use to contain the power of Canglan and Taihua.
After the war, Western countries will inevitably be subjected to more severe and retaliatory exploitation by Canglan and Taihua! "
"That's impossible!" Zhao Duo made his own analysis, "It's impossible for countries such as the Kingdom of Jinyang to not think of this. Also, if Qingyun and Langya are willing to kill the donkey, they will not be afraid of Canglan and Taihua. Will the two countries take unscrupulous revenge afterwards?¡±
Ouyang Si nodded: "But the Kingdom of Qingyun and the Kingdom of Langya are not weak countries. They don't need victory. They only need to fight a fierce war and beat Canglan and Taihua painfully. Then Canglan and Taihua will In the country, you can only lick your wounds in a short period of time.
" However, Canglan and Taihua will not be willing to be frustrated. They definitely need to vent.
Where do you think they will vent their anger? "
Zhao Duo¡¯s mouth trembled and he said in a hoarse voice: ¡°West¡West! And their best trick is to continue to block trade routes!¡±
Ouyang Si nodded: "So, whether it is from the geographical location or the current politics, we should withdraw our troops, retain our strength, and prevent the worst from happening."
¡¡¡¡
"The Kingdom of Qixia!" Wei Zirong quickly left the Kingdom of Qixia with an angry look on his face, "A bunch of short-sighted rats! A bunch of rats who live in an ignoble existence! Huh, there will be a time when you will regret it!"
In the evening, Wu Fanghai received the order to withdraw his troops. Wu Fanghai immediately led the team away without saying a word.
Of course, the rest of the country's coalition forces are 'irritability', and the princes of the Jinyang Kingdom are even more cold, and then point to the Oriental Legion where the city is stationed outside the city and send it to 'blessings': I hope you can leave safely.
Without saying anything, Wu Fanghai led everyone to leave Anqing, the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Jinyang, and headed to the west.
The actions here certainly attracted the attention of the more than 300,000 troops from the east.
However, Wu Fanghai's more than 50,000 people were all above the foundation building stage. Everyone ran away. When the army of more than 300,000 people in the east started to move, Wu Fanghai and others had already broken out of the encirclement and headed west.
Seeing this, Sima Tao, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Canglan Kingdom, thought thoughtfully: "Could it be said that there is civil strife in the six Western countries? Ha interesting!"

Zhang Hao is completely unaware of the changes in the state of the country. Now Zhang Hao is leading Huang Mingshan and others to work overtime on "steel".
Although after the division of labor, Yue Yun and Zhao Baishi were specifically responsible for steel, the Zhang family's technical system was still weak at this time and required full investment.
The research and development of scientific theories spearheaded by Huang Mingshan is extremely important. Especially the heat treatment of steel has been recently studied.
The properties of steel are related to two parts: composition and heat treatment.
Both of these require repeated study, and neither is simple. The rules and stuff are still being explored.
Under the command of Zhang Hao, everyone used their brains to carburize, forge, quench, temper, and even cover the soil and quench, etc., and everyone was busy without touching the ground.
It was late that night, and Huang Mingshan wiped the sweat from his face indiscriminately, leaving gray and black marks on his face.
"Master, according to our current research, each ton of black iron with a purity of 99% can absorb the spiritual energy of about 20 million low-grade spiritual stones at most.
But as long as 1 million low-grade spiritual stones are absorbed, the comprehensive performance in all aspects can reach 90% of the peak. It¡¯s useless to absorb too much. "
¡°In terms of steel processing, steel that has been folded, forged, carburized, quenched, and tempered seven times is the most excellent.
Its hardness can reach the hardness of top magic weapons, and it has strong toughness. Its ability to conduct spiritual energy can reach more than 90% of black iron of the same purity. "
"However, this process is complicated and is only suitable for the production of small batches of weapons. If it is mass production, extrusion production can be carried out, and carburizing, quenching and tempering can be carried out.
The hardness of such steel can reach that of a top-grade magic weapon. "
¡°According to the current experimental results, the smelting cost alone to produce one ton of excellent, 99% pure steel requires 1 million low-grade spiritual stones;
The market price of 99% Black Iron itself is 20 per kilogram of high-grade spiritual stones and 400,000 per kilogram of low-grade spiritual stones.
If you build a 10,000-ton ship at this price, it will be an astronomical figure!
The whole country cannot afford so much wealth now! "
Zhang Hao was not shocked. The high cost was completely expected. Moreover, a 10,000-ton ship is not equivalent to 10,000 tons of steel. About two to three thousand tons of steel is enough. The most important thing is that market price and cost price are two concepts!
Zhang Hao did not explain this. He thought for a moment and asked: "The cost of Xuan Tie itself is not actually kept. Most of the refining cost comes from spiritual stones. Right?"
Huang Mingshan nodded and looked at Zhang Hao expectantly: Does the young master have a solution?
Hear Zhang Hao slowly say: "What if there is a way for me to save this piece of spiritual stone?"
"Really?!" Zhang Shengye, who had been listening for a while, jumped up.
But at this moment, Zhang Shengde suddenly came in with shock on his face: "Xiaohao, Xinglin Hall has sent you an invitation letter. It is an autograph letter from Master Zhou Shuhai." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel .com
