The Azure Dragon Legion had defeated more than 300,000 Qin soldiers. This made everyone wonder if Hua Xia had the power to fight against Qin and if Hua Xia had the ability to expand its territory.
"Kai 'er, a few days ago, Lianpo sent a message that Zhao has already taken Shuo County. Now, Qin has moved all the people in the northern part of Zhao to the west of Handan County. Qin is giving up on the entire northern part of Zhao.
The Yuezhi cavalry also sent news that the Qin State has given up on Xiao Pass, and all the civilians have been moved to the south of Yi Qu County. The Yuezhi State is asking about what to do next. Should we pursue the Qin army? "
Qin had given up on Zhao and Yiqu and moved the people together. With this, it would be easy to deal with the grassland and Lianpo's attacks and the desolate beasts. However, if they gave up on the cities, they would be quickly taken over by the desolate beasts and Qin would not be able to clear them out.
"Qin is being irresponsible to the human race by doing this. Their actions will only make the desolate beasts more prosperous.
Lianpo seems strong now, but he is also a rootless duckweed. He doesn't know how to rule a country and can only rely on herding. Even if he was given half of Zhao, he wouldn't be able to manage it.
Now that he has taken Shuo County, he has less than 10 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. The larger the area he is in charge of, the faster he will lose his strength.
Tell Wuzhu Muqin to give up on harassing Qin!
Try to clear out the desolate beasts in the grassland and buy Da Wan, Qiang, Wu Sun, and other countries' herbs, stones, and wool! "Hua Kai said.
"Brother!
Why do we have to retreat? The strength of Hua Xia can definitely fight for more with Qin State and put more pressure on Qin State. Lu State and Chu State will also be under less pressure. Why don't we take this opportunity to help Yi Qu State restore its state and occupy the northern territory of Qin State, ensuring that the entire grassland trade route is smooth? "Hua Mo asked.
Everyone else also pricked up their ears. After the Azure Dragon Legion obtained a great victory in Yun City, many people felt that it was time for Hua Xia to expand their territory. Hua Xia already had the power of a Rank 1 country, but its territory was not as big as many Rank 2 countries.
"There is no king who doesn't like to expand their territory. It is not difficult for Hua Xia to take over Xiandai, northern Zhao, and northern Qin, but what will we do after that?
If they wanted to completely occupy these areas, they would have to migrate the people to live in these areas. Otherwise, occupying these areas would be meaningless!
When the Qin Kingdom moves its citizens out of these areas, the number of desolate beasts will increase rapidly. At that time, the Huaxia Kingdom will have to spend a lot of resources in these areas and worry about the Qin Kingdom attacking. They will also have to take care of the desolate beasts around the cities. The pressure will multiply, "Hua Kai said.
Everyone couldn't help but nod when they heard this. It seemed that this wasn't an opportunity at all. Instead, it would drag China into this mess.
"This is equivalent to us helping the Qin State to bear the fault, which is exactly what the Qin State wants.
Hua Kai continued. "When the other countries see Huaxia's attack, as long as Huaxia has the same intention of annexing other countries, their anti-Qin sentiment will be reduced. Huaxia will become the focus of the other countries, and its strength will be valued more and more by the other countries. This is not good for us!"
"Then can Huaxia only rely on the Azure Dragon Legion and the support of the State of Lu to contend against the State of Qin?
Don't you care about anything else?
If we are always suppressed by the State of Qin, when can we fight back? "Wuren Tuya said.
Everyone also looked at Hua Kai. They were confident that Huaxia Kingdom had the strength to fight against the State of Qin. It seemed that Huaxia Kingdom had no intention of attacking the other countries in the Central Plains.
"A warmonger will die!
Huaxia Kingdom's strength is not inferior to the State of Chu. Perhaps the difference between us and the State of Qin is not that big.
However, don't forget that the State of Qin has Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng's strength is enough to change the situation on the battlefield. Although I am in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir Realm, I have no chance of winning against Qin Zheng.
The Great Xia Dragonfinch in Qin Zheng's hand is a high-grade spirit treasure. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best divine weapon in the world.
Now that the State of Qin occupies half of the world, we are no match for it. However, we have the absolute upper hand in the contest against the State of Qin. The main reason why the State of Qin can give up the northern border of the State of Zhao and the State of Yi Qu and send their troops to the State of Lu is actually our Huaxia Kingdom. "
When Hua Kai said this, everyone listened attentively. The rapid development of Huaxia Kingdom for so many years was entirely due to the system of Huaxia Kingdom and the correct leadership of Hua Kai. Many people's understanding of the world was mostly learned from Hua Kai.
"The strength of a country mainly depends on the strength of the king, the country's military strength, the country's cultural influence, the country's economic strength, the country's foreign affairs, and the country's population. A few years ago, the State of Qin was the best in the world in these six aspects.
However, with the rise of Huaxia Kingdom in the past few years and the four years of chaos caused by the wild beasts, the State of Qin has slowly been surpassed by Huaxia Kingdom in many aspects, "Hua Kai said.
Everyone was seriously thinking about the meaning of this.
"The economic strength of Huaxia Kingdom has long surpassed that of the State of Qin. This makes the growth of our country's strength much faster than that of the State of Qin. It may not be easy for the State of Qin to maintain its current military strength. Every year, we constantly produce Foundation Establishment and Xiantian Realm cultivators. When I enter the late stage of the Golden Elixir Realm, or when another Golden Elixir Realm cultivator appears in Huaxia Kingdom, Huaxia Kingdom's military strength will not be afraid of the State of Qin.
Therefore, time is on our side. The one who should be anxious is the State of Qin.
"This time, the Azure Dragon Army defeated the Qin army. The world will definitely see the strength of Huaxia Kingdom. The first destination of many people fleeing from the aristocratic families is Huaxia Kingdom. When our population increases again, the strength of our two countries will continue to shrink.
"The cultural influence of Huaxia Kingdom has already surpassed that of the State of Qin. The State of Qin's hegemony causes the people to live in poverty. However, we can tolerate and allow everyone to live a safe life. The people of the world will definitely be on our side.
"Since the founding of our country, we have never invaded any country. When the State of Qin is unable to take down Huaxia Kingdom, the two sides will compete in soft power. Therefore, the best way to deal with the State of Qin is not to confront them face to face and use our weaknesses to attack their strengths. Instead, we should continue to widen the gap between us in terms of influence, economy, people's livelihood, and culture. In this way, we don't need to do anything. The people of the world will definitely be on our side." Hua Kai paused for a while. Everyone heard the words "soft power" for the first time.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Xue Chen's eyes moved. He already somewhat understood Hua Kai's meaning. Hua Kai's heart was not to defeat the State of Qin and unify the world, but to think further than that.
"First, promote the culture of Huaxia Kingdom. Focus on Huaxia Kingdom's products, novels, snacks, wool products, etc., and continue to increase the influence of Huaxia Kingdom.
"Second, the intelligence department needs to establish their own underground intelligence network in the Central Plains to guide the opinions of the people. Let more people know that Huaxia Kingdom is not attacking, Huaxia Kingdom's system, and the happiness of the people of Huaxia Kingdom.
Let the people of the world yearn for the life of Huaxia Kingdom.
"Third, increase the spread of the currency. The influence of the currency is far more important than you think. Now, most of the regions of the State of Qin are using our currency. When the two countries start an all-out war, the currency will be a powerful weapon of Huaxia Kingdom.
"Fourth, establish trade and cooperation with more aristocratic families in the Central Plains. The region of the State of Qin is a big difficulty for us. The intelligence department needs to play a role. We can put the trade and cultural propaganda of Huaxia Kingdom in the dark. When the final battle between Huaxia Kingdom and the State of Qin happens, these underground organizations can become a powerful force.
If Huaxia Kingdom unifies the world, it will not conquer hundreds of countries like the State of Qin and make the people of the world miserable. We will fight for the people of the world. "
When Hua Kai said this, everyone could not help but nod. The future direction of Huaxia Kingdom was very clear. Instead of dominating the world by force, Huaxia Kingdom would conquer the Central Plains with its own strong system. This was what Huaxia Kingdom was best at.
"Finally, let's talk about the intelligence department. The Fifth Uncle is in the State of Lu, and I am temporarily in charge of the intelligence department.
The Hua family will send 1,000 Household Servants to the cities of the Central Plains. I will tell all the Household Servants the essentials of the underground work. The intelligence department needs to increase the budget. This time, the palace has specially allocated 500,000 gold coins for the establishment of the underground intelligence network.
The underground intelligence network of the Central Plains will be established within two years. The number of underground organizations will increase rapidly. In five years, the number of underground organizations in the Central Plains will exceed one million. "
When Hua Kai said this, everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of concept was one million? The entire Central Plains only had a population of 30 million. If this underground organization was established, Huaxia Kingdom would not have to fight the State of Qin directly. The entire State of Qin would be controlled by Huaxia Kingdom.
After the meeting, Hua Zichen and the other members of the Azure Dragon Legion left. The rest of the members were still in deep thought and did not speak. Hua Kai had opened a new door for them. Now, they suddenly wanted to let the people of the world live a good life, even if Huaxia Kingdom was only one county.
Everyone dispersed. The impact of this meeting on the core members of the Hua family was far-reaching. Hua Kai had set up a training base for intelligence personnel. He explained to the 1,000 Household Servants of the Hua family how to contact each other, how to select and develop offline members, how to protect themselves, and the responsibilities and obligations of the underground intelligence network.
Hua Kai had clearly placed the core of the network on the talented civilians. He had written an intelligence book, using the experience of the past 1,000 years. The amount of information contained in this book was very large. It was even possible to form a school of thought.
On the first day of the seventh month, the 1,000 Household Servants of the Hua family went to the various cities of the Central Plains with the help of China's banks and caravans. They all used new identities and stopped in various areas of the Central Plains. This stop could last for several years or even decades. If there was no special reason, no one would know their previous identities.
The Qin Kingdom's army of one million had tried to attack Yun City several times, but because of the Azure Dragon Legion, they had all failed. The aristocratic families of the Qi Kingdom had also sent 100,000 troops to the State of Lu. The State of Lu's confidence had soared, and the State of Qin was blocked outside the State of Lu. The State of Qin was not as invincible as everyone thought. The Azure Dragon Legion's performance in Yun City had played a key role. Many of the Qin Kingdom's Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had been affected by the karma and were unable to attack.
