The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 614 Grasping the Scale
"That's why I said this is a stupid trick and cannot be used. If not handled properly, it may anger the royal court." Tian Gui said pretending to be afraid.

"Would I be afraid of angering the royal court?" Deva got furious when he heard that.

"They want my life! Am I afraid of angering the royal court?"

"If we're going to die, we'll die together. No one can expect an easy life!"

At this moment, Deva suddenly fell into a state of rage.

Tian Gui quickly advised: "Master, calm down and speak softly, or someone else might hear you."

After hearing this, Deva calmed down a little.

“Just contact the Han people!”

"Sindhu is a large area that is large enough for the Han people to occupy. They have no intention of provoking us. We also have no intention of having a dispute with them. It is the royal court that insists on fighting this war."

"If they want to fight, let them fight and don't get us involved."

At this moment, the role of word of mouth and diplomacy is clearly revealed.

Even though Liu Bei and others had been attacking continuously during this period, they always held the same idea as Tian Ze.

Attack them with justice!
Moreover, as for the Kushans, it is best not to provoke them before we are fully prepared for an all-out war.

Even when attacking Kushan, Liu Bei and others took the initiative to contact the Kushan southern warlords, made friends with them, gave up a small amount of territory and opened up trade.

Even though they knew that one should not allow others to sleep soundly next to one's bed and were aware of the threat posed by Liu Bei and others, Deva and others still had a certain sense of luck.

Just like the previous taxes.

After all, the other party didn't make any move to call in, and his attitude was good.

The Han people have always been trustworthy and we will not attack them without a legitimate reason.

At this moment, the balance in Deva's heart was unbalanced again. He selectively forgot the aggressive behavior of the Han people during this period and the various outrageous actions of the Han envoys in the past.

After all, it is true that the Han Dynasty would never send troops without reason.

But those Han envoys never stopped their suicidal behavior.

They are doing all kinds of fantastic operations and have no respect for their reputation. They just want to kill others and give the Han Dynasty a legitimate reason to send troops.

It is easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. Liu Bei wanted to attack the Kushans with justification, and it was easy to find a reason.

Tian Gui was slightly delighted that he had successfully led Deva to the road where he could secretly contact Liu Bei and others.

To be honest, he really gave Deva advice wholeheartedly.

These strategies are indeed the most appropriate and beneficial to Deva, and there is no intention to harm him at all.

It just "happens" that their interests are the same as those of the Han people.

It can be called a coincidence, but it is also inevitable.

Once internal strife exceeds a certain limit, it will inevitably collude with external enemies, especially local forces.

"What the patriarch said is very true, but we still have to be careful about the limits." Tian Gui continued to play his role faithfully.

"The Han people have evil ambitions. If they want to take us down as well, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, Dewa said nonchalantly: "Don't worry. As long as we make it clear to them the pros and cons, the Han people will naturally not do this."

"After all, the Han people are mortal enemies of the royal court, but not us. We need the Han people, and the Han people need us, too."

Hearing Deva's words, Tian Gui couldn't help but secretly look at him deeply.

Sure enough, this guy still has some brains and can't be regarded as a complete fool.

Fortunately, his words just now were not excessive and should not be suspected.

Raise the bandits to respect themselves.

This principle is almost self-evident to local tyrants and separatist forces.

The most typical example is the Liaodong Army and Nurhaci in the late Ming Dynasty.

The rise of Nurhaci and the birth of the Qing Dynasty were the result of nurturing the enemy for their own benefit. It was just that due to the manipulation of the imperial court, both the Liaodong Army and the Liaodong Army suffered losses, which led to the complete rise of Nurhaci.

The situation today is quite similar to that time.

It is not surprising that Deva is preparing to contact the Han people.

……

In the hall, Liu Bei unfolded the secret letter sent by Deva, looked at the implicit meaning of alliance in the letter, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the edge of the letter.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the words "willing to be the eyes and ears of the Han army". He looked up at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"

Sun Ce scratched his head and said nothing.

Liu Fan looked conflicted, but he didn't dare to draw a conclusion easily.

Seeing this, Sun Quan did not shy away from saying, "It should be credible."

"We have long heard of the conflict between the Kushan southern tyrants and the royal court. It is not surprising that they acted this way."

"Besides, they probably wouldn't have thought of such a sophisticated strategy as feigning surrender. With our intelligence capabilities, if the information they provided is wrong, it shouldn't be difficult to verify it."

"Unless they plan little by little, gain our trust, and finally conceal the truth and lay a big net, but this is simply impossible."

Sun Quan, who had been fighting for more than two years, always had an arrogant prejudice against these countries outside the Central Plains.

However, no one refuted what Sun Quan said.

Because according to their understanding, this strategy is indeed not something the Kushans can use, and it is not their style.

If they had this kind of thinking, Khwarezm and Kangju would not have become independent.

Just as everyone was talking about it, a secret letter was sent into the hall through Jia Xu's secret channel, proving the matter.

Liu Bei's face suddenly became overjoyed.

"it is good!"

"With this insider support, we are more confident in this battle!"

You know, Liu Bei was also under a lot of pressure.

It would be fine if we just needed to win this battle.

Under the current situation, he not only has to fight this battle well and maintain a balanced and slightly disadvantaged situation, but also has to give Liu Fan a good opportunity and take into account various unexpected changes.

Its difficulty is much greater than a major war.

If you don't handle it well, or accidentally perform better, you might mess it up.

With such an insider, the rhythm and scale of the operation can be better controlled.

"But we still have to be careful." Chen Qun said with a slight headache.

"The wisdom of this group of southern tyrants is somewhat worrying. I'm afraid that if they don't coordinate well, they will be exposed and Kumar will find out and take advantage of them."

Chen Qun, who came from a noble family, was really speechless about this group of so-called powerful people.

Each of them has a large family, great wealth and considerable strength, but their wisdom and means are not even as good as those of the patriarchs of some villages in the Central Plains.

In the final analysis, the place is too rich and the people are too ignorant, even a fool can accomplish something.

Pang Tong and others also nodded in agreement.

"But fortunately, Da Qi has planted people among them who can help us monitor something." Zhou Yu said helplessly.

If time was not so tight, he felt that there was no need to go to war with such a country or force. It would not be difficult to secretly infiltrate and instigate an uprising.

It will be possible to take it down directly in a few years.

Unfortunately, they don't have the patience to wait. And they don't want to rule this country, but to occupy and destroy it.

Most of the local people had to be dealt with, all traces needed to be erased, and they had to be completely assimilated into Chinese.
