Chapter 521: 253: Difficult to Decide on Deploying Troops_2



This war of extermination could last two or three years, even four or five years, or even over a decade.

There have been precedents for this.

In the past, when the Jinling court, led by the coastal aristocratic family, expanded westward and southward, the local tribes of Barbarians, Miao, Qiang, and Yue had used such tactics.

At that time, the Jinling court had no better way to deal with it but to send generals to suppress it while stationed with heavy troops, and desperately wear down the enemy.

Previously, when they were eliminating Jinghai Country, the Wuan Marquis led the troops, with two grandmasters and a hundred thousand soldiers, and it took three to four years to break through the enemy’s capital and destroy the country, right?

Moreover, even after the destruction of the country, it was not the end.

Afterward, they still had to leave Marquis Wuping, Xie Ning, leading fifty thousand elite soldiers to suppress the local area and clear out the remnants of Jinghai Country, calming the local unrest.

However, even so, it has been five to six years since the Jinghai Country was destroyed.

According to the news Lu Yuan heard from over there, there are still occasional uprisings in Jiuzhen County, and there is often activity of Jinghai Country’s remnants in the mountain forests, with local resistance still existing.

Looking at it this way, it is easier to destroy Da Changhe Country and Jinghai Country, these Yi and Barbarian countries, but of course, it is not so simple to really occupy their territory and rule them.

The simplest example is the Miao people’s respect has been naturalized as kings for thousands of years.

However, on the side of Dongting, hasn’t there been a Five Poisons Sect rebellion that almost delivered a fatal blow to the Da Yue Dynasty?

With the lesson of the previous car in front of them and the example of Jinghai Country still being staged, it naturally made Lu Yuan more cautious.

Of course.

The premise of all the above is that he is preparing to destroy the Da Changhe Country, so this is the situation he needs to face.

If he only followed what the envoys of Shizong and Milu said, accepting the two countries as vassals, protecting them, then the above situations would naturally not need to be faced.

What about the reactions of the Da Changhe Country and Wu Savage Country?

Considering the situation of these two countries, let alone being in civil strife and unable to handle their own affairs.

Even if there was no rebellion in the Da Changhe Country, with the Great Chu Country’s stature and Lu Yuan’s reputation, even if they accepted you both as vassal countries, what could you do?

Would the Da Changhe Country really be willing to risk losing its army and territory, go to war with the Great Chu for the sake of these two small countries?

Most likely, it will end in nothing, with a few condemnations and then acquiescence to the facts.

But as mentioned above.

The combined territories of Shizong and Milu are only seven counties, and the population is now reduced to only 140,000, which can be said to be extremely poor.

Moreover, even this small amount of wealth still belongs to them.

These two countries only promise to be vassals of the Great Chu and give tribute every year.

But how much silver can these two Barbarian countries contribute together in a year?

Five thousand taels, eight thousand taels, or ten thousand taels?

With such little benefits, it barely nourishes a hundred soldiers; is it worth risking war with Da Changhe Country and Wu Savage Country to accept these two countries as vassals for Lu Yuan?

So for Lu Yuan.

Accepting their surrender is indeed possible.

But there is not much benefit in doing so, and instead, it attracts two powerful enemies, which is a completely disproportionate undertaking.

If he really decides to take action, it would not be for these two small countries, but for the entire Da Changhe Country.

If he could really destroy this country, annex its two prefectures, three to four million people, and thousands of miles of territory, that would be the real big benefit, and it could make the strength of Chu rise to another level.

Eradicate their country, truncate their sacrifices, punish their king, acquire their people, eliminate their land, and establish their borders…

All these are what a true man should do.

How can sneaking in and accepting two vassals while taking advantage of their chaos, gaining such petty benefits, be considered a hero?

Nevertheless, Lu Yuan considers himself a hero in this world.

He is not sure how others think and what they do.

But when he does it, he wants to do it big.

Either he doesn’t want it, or he wants all; such trivial Shizong and Milu countries, when he’s about to take it, he wants the entire Da Changhe Country and all 27 Yi countries under his rule.

So that it can be written in historical records, breaking the Da Changhe country and destroying 27 countries.

Wouldn’t it look, sound much better than taking advantage of their chaos, and accepting the inner attachment of two Yi countries?

However, doing what was said above, heroism is heroic, domineering is domineering, and it sounds good.

But to get the actual benefits, it may not be as simple as it seems.

His previous concerns still exist.

Da Changhe and Wu Savage Countries are not easy to destroy.

Just one is hard enough to defeat.

At that time, when faced with the heavy pressure of the Great Chu’s troops, if the two countries join hands and face two Inborn experts, even Lu Yuan would not dare say he could defeat the enemy.

This is not impossible.

So after comprehensively considering and carefully deliberating, Lu Yuan still could not make up his mind whether or not to jump into this muddy water.

In the end, he could only look at the two countries’ messengers and say: “You are both fiefdoms of the Da Changhe Country, and everything about this great country must be cautious. Whether to accept Shizong and Milu’s attachment, I still have to consult with the group of ministers before making a decision.

It is not too late today, and the rooms in the Honglu Temple post house have been prepared. The two envoys should go down and rest first.”

After saying this, Lu Yuan waved his hand and let the others leave.

Meanwhile, the two countries’ envoys, seeing the King of Chu not agreeing to their request immediately, were also somewhat anxious.

Their country was in deep turmoil, and any delay would mean an increased risk of destruction at home.
