Great Wei, in the Eastern Continent.
Although it cannot be called an absolute overlord.
But if you want to use military force against a country, you can basically launch a strong attack.
Take Gaoyang Kingdom for example. Even if Song Hongzhi was not leading the army, there was no grassland army threatening the northern border.
The entire Liaodong garrison can move at will. As long as there is support from a large army, any general with actual combat experience can achieve a crushing situation.
Therefore, the surrounding countries were still extremely wary of the Wei Dynasty and did not dare to offend it.
Although Tiandu Kingdom is also a powerful country, it is one of the best.
But facing the Wei Dynasty directly is still very stressful.
Especially from these years.
Almost all of Wei's foreign wars ended in victory.
If the people of Tiandu knew that Wei wanted cavalry, they would launch a strong attack.
By then, panic and turmoil will occur throughout Tiandu.
After all, the strength of the Wei Dynasty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It is also recognized by neighboring countries.
As mentioned before, the reason why Tiandu Kingdom dared to offend Wei was simply because it knew that the two sides would not easily start a war.
But this does not mean that the officials and people in Tiandu will not be afraid after learning that the two countries are going to go to war.
Especially during this period of time, the news that Gaoyang was destroyed in a war had spread completely.
With such power, no one would not be in awe.
And Song Gongwen also understood what Chen Xuance said.
Once the people of Tiandu learn about the Wei Dynasty's surprise attack, there will definitely be some different voices.
In addition, King Ali was somewhat cruel to his people, so it was hard to say whether someone would take advantage of this to cause trouble.
Especially the descendants of King Aqin who have never openly resisted before, would they think that this is a good opportunity?
Song Gongwen was very clear that even if this did not threaten King Ali's position, it would make him too tired to deal with it, so he chose to withdraw his troops in the Usdi area.
In this way, the court's fundamental goal can be fully achieved.
That’s my thoughts.
A smile appeared on his face. He looked at Chen Xuance and said, "So, you came to ask for my help because you want me to cooperate with you and convince the Tiandu Kingdom that our Great Wei has reached the end of its patience and is about to use military force?"
"That's right, Lord." Chen Xuance replied, "Although I have the status of an envoy, my influence is still too small."
“Even if we tell the Tiandu Kingdom that Great Wei is going to send troops, they may not believe it.”
"But with your help, even just a little bit, it would be completely different."
His meaning is simple.
Although he was sent as an envoy to the Kingdom of Tiandu, he represented the Great Wei.
But his status is too low. Other things are fine, but if it comes to sending troops, even if the representative says it, it will not have much deterrent effect.
In recent years, the imperial court has generally retreated and compromised in response to the provocations of the Tiandu Kingdom.
That is why he said that Wei was going to send troops.
Tiandu won't believe it.
Because the previous emperors of the Wei Dynasty all adopted recuperation as their national policy.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, we will never send troops.
What Chen Xuance thought was that if he had the support of Song Gongwen in this regard, things would be different.
The other party was the second-in-command of the cabinet and the father-in-law of the emperor. Most importantly, it was his son Song Hongzhi who destroyed the Gaoyang Kingdom, so his words naturally carried great weight.
"I understand what you mean." Song Gongwen understood the other party's intentions. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Please, Lord, give me a personal letter. The content of the letter is about the court and the military operations against Tiandu."
"Nothing else is needed, just express your opinion on the use of troops."
Chen Xuance stood up and bowed.
Your Majesty is unwilling to send troops to Tiandu, and that is known to all the civil and military officials in the court.
But this does not mean that troops will never be sent.
And the handwritten letter from Song Gongwen.
It represents a strong signal, no matter whether Tiandu believes it or not, as long as it exists, it is enough.
It will definitely make King Ali feel fearful.
In this way.
Things that you can do yourself are much simpler.
"good."
Although Song Gongwen didn't know exactly what Chen Xuance was going to do, he still agreed and said, "If you want a handwritten letter, I can give it to you. Also, the name of the Grand Tutor will be included in the letter, which will make the contents of the letter more credible."
Is there a name for the Grand Tutor?
As soon as these words were spoken.
Chen Xuance was stunned for a moment and was very surprised.
Because he had heard of it before the imperial examination.
Song Gongwen and the Taifu had different political views on the reform.
In addition, he felt that the reason why His Majesty chose to promote this father-in-law was also to curb the power of the Grand Tutor in the court.
But now, the other party said that it was naturally very surprising that he could do it in the name of Taifu.
But he didn't ask, after all, this was Song Gongwen's business.
So he just nodded and said, "That couldn't be better."
If I could borrow the name of the Grand Tutor.
It will certainly make the content of the letter more convincing.
I will be able to do things better when the time comes.
"but..."
At this time, Song Gongwen seemed to have thought of something and continued, "I remember that the mission His Majesty gave you was not only to make the Tiandu Kingdom withdraw its troops, but also to establish normal diplomatic relations."
"A personal letter might frighten King Ali and make him back down, but it will be difficult to get him to reconcile with the Great Wei."
"So, what are you going to do about this?"
