Chapter 252: Presentation

"Then I thank the Governor." Hearing this, Chen Shangchuan's uneasy mood calmed down.

"The two generals might as well stay in Luzon for a few more days, waiting for the Ming Dynasty navy and new warships to complete the training, and return to Dongpu together." Liu Yu looked at the two and said with a smile.

"Sir, after Lord Xiao Wu entered Jiading, he insisted on sending troops to Zhenla Chaibank. I don't know if it was Lord Xiao Wu's will or the Ming court had a plan." Suddenly, Yang Yandi walked up to Liu Yu and bowed to him in a low voice.

After hearing Yang Yandi's words, Liu Yu nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, the Ming court does mean to take down the firewood stick."

"The Zhenla foreign soldiers in the Chaikun area repeatedly invaded the territory, which was very harmful to Dongpu and Meidi. Lord Xiao and I discussed pacifying Dongpu and other places before sending troops to Zhenla to relieve the threat of the foreigners on the border." Liu Yu explained.

"Sir, I want to conquer the Annan area." Yang Yandi tentatively said.

Liu Yu shook his head, "The Ming court did not have a plan to expedition to Annan. Not to mention that Annan was a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. It had many foreigners and complex terrain. Chengzu raised hundreds of thousands of troops to barely conquer it. Later, Xuanzong rebelled continuously during the Annan period, and finally had no choice but to withdraw his troops. This shows that Annan is not a land of kingship. It is difficult for us to gain the Jiading area in Luzon.

What Liu Yu said is from the heart.

Although Annan is now divided into two, the north is ruled by Master Zheng, and the south is ruled by Master Ruan in Guangnan. Although the two families have been fighting continuously, they generally maintain a relatively calm situation and have a very powerful military force.

The Ming court could only send thousands of troops to Jiading at most, and the defense was insufficient, let alone going north to attack Guangnan.

"That adult sent troops not to expand territory, but to relieve his worries," said Yang Yandi.

"Not bad." Liu Yu nodded.

Chen Shangchuan, who was beside him, probably guessed it at this time and looked at Liu Yu with disbelief.

"My lords all want to use the Jiading area as the base camp and plan to go north to attack the Qing Dynasty." Chen Shangchuan said in surprise.

"Yes, I mean that's exactly what I mean." Liu Yu said calmly.

After hearing this, Chen Shangchuan stood there in shock, but Yang Yandi seemed to have guessed it, standing there calmly.

"Jiading is located south of Guangnan, with a fertile field of thousands of miles, and there are thousands of Ming people. In addition, the local natives are enough to support a 100,000 army. In addition, it is located in the lower reaches of the Jiulong River, and the food and grass can be transported along the river to the coast, and then transported to the north by sea. If Jiading is the rear, then the great cause of attacking the Qing Dynasty will be accomplished." Liu Yu spread out the map of Annan, pointed to the area from Jiading to the South China Sea, and analyzed.

"So, Lord Xiao Wu insisted on sending troops to get rid of his worries, in fact, it was to relieve his worries." Chen Shangchuan sighed, but he didn't expect that he would be kept in the dark in the end, and only now know the intention of the Ming court.

"If this is true, the left and right camps of Liwu Town can be the pioneer, send troops and firewood sticks, and capture the leader of Zhenla." Yang Yandi said.

"But sir, if we really send troops to the real la, then Guangnan will inevitably send troops, and then the Jiading area will be in chaos." Chen Shangchuan shook his head, not optimistic about the Ming court's plan.

As the saying goes, one moves the whole body, but now the situation of the two kings of Zhen La is caused by Guangnan’s intervention.

The Chaibang in the south is almost followed by the leader of Guangnan. This time, the Chaibang soldiers attacked Dongpu, so why did Guangnan instruct? Otherwise, why would Ruan Youjing appear in the Zhenla Fan army?

"The firewood stick is not a big trouble for the Ming court, but Guangnan is."

"If you really want to use Jiading as the rear to attack the Qing Dynasty, then you must appease Guangnan to stabilize the situation in Zhenla before it can be feasible."

"If you ignore Guangnan's threat and insist on sending troops to a firewood stick is like treating the head with headaches and treating the foot with feet." Chen Shangchuan said bluntly.

"Well, Lord Chen means?" Liu Yu looked at Chen Shangchuan and asked with interest.

"The bell must be tied. The reason why the Zhenla foreign soldiers suffered from Dongpu was entirely because the Ming court sent an envoy to Guangnan to request trade and send a caravan to help the Ming people in Dongpu, which made Guangnan's monarchs suspicious of the Ming court for having any intention of the Zhenla area, so he encouraged the Zhenla foreign people to enter Dongpu."

Chen Shangchuan sighed, saying that after all, he was still wrong. After all, he was the one who was so ill that he had to seek medical treatment by seeking help from Ande, who led the Dongpu envoy to the Ming court of Luzon to ask for help.

"Now that the Ming court has recruited Jiading area, the monarchs and ministers in Guangnan must have heard the news. Today, our insistence on sending troops and firewood sticks will inevitably make Guangnan think that our Ming Dynasty plots Annan Zhenla and other areas, and will inevitably be enemies of the Ming court at that time." Chen Shangchuan said earnestly.

"Yes, since the Ming court wants to attack the Qing Dynasty, it must appease Guangnan and not let Guangnan be enemies with the Ming court." Yang Yandi nodded, but he forgot about Guangnan's mistakes.

"Otherwise, whether it is Guangnan going south by way of Chameng or blocking the sea route and looting merchant fleets at sea, it will be a huge harm."

The words of the two generals Chen and Yang woke up Liu Yu.

As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner. The situation where the two kings are now governed by Guangnan’s intervention.

The hidden tenderness of the Chai Stick was originally supported by Lord Ruan of Guangnan.

Xiao Wu had proposed to Liu Yu that he must first solve the problem of Zhenla when he was recruiting Jiading, but he forgot to consider Guangnan.

After all, the Ming court did not know the connection between Annan and Zhenla at that time.

"Sir, you might as well send an envoy to Guangnan and grant a large sum of money to Guangnan to appease the monarch and ministers of Guangnan." Chen Shangchuan said.

"What, you think that money can be used to save Guangnan's monarch and ministers." Liu Yu said with a smile.

"The Lord doesn't know anything. Now Annan Ming is in the dynasty of the Li clan, but it is actually controlled by the Zheng Lord. Ruan of Guangnan does not rule under Zheng Lord. The two families have been fighting for decades. Guangnan must not want to set up enemies in the south anymore. Now the Ming court only needs to send envoys to Guangnan to appease the monarch and ministers of Guangnan, so that Guangnan and the Ming court can resolve the real disaster." Chen Shangchuan analyzed.

"Well, if we can form peace with Guangnan, it will be safest to avoid military disasters in Jiading." Liu Yu thought for a while and affirmed the two generals' proposals.

However, Liu Yu, the envoy who was sent to Guangnan, had to think carefully about it.

Last time, in order to avoid suspicion from the ministers in Guangnan, he sent a land and sea merchant to Guangnan for business.

As a result, Lu Hai merchant was directly scolded by Master Ruan of Guangnan and lost the face of the Ming court.

"Sir, since you want to attack the Qing court in the north, you must first set Qiongzhou and then go to Guangdong and Guangxi. At the end, there will be a map of Qiongzhou to be presented to you." Yang Yandi took out a picture scroll and presented it to Liu Yu.

"Oh, Qiongzhou map." Liu Yu was shocked when he heard this, and quickly stood up and took the map.

Seeing Liu Yu's face showing a shock, Yang Yandi said calmly: "To be honest, we were active in the areas from Guangdong to Qiongzhou when we resisted the Qing Dynasty. We also invaded Qiongzhou several times and also hoped to occupy Qiongzhou to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, we failed to do so, so we had to go south to surrender to Guangnan."
