Chapter 878

Gao Yang nodded, his eyes carrying the light that pierced through everything, and he continued to speak to Wu Zhao.

"Not bad. If Great Qian is strong, the Xiongnu will have one more formidable enemy. Because they have to plunder anyway to survive the cold winter, it's the same to plunder Chu Kingdom or Yan Kingdom, so why not plunder Great Qian?"

"On the contrary, Great Qian is already rising. If the Xiongnu go to plunder Chu Kingdom and Yan Kingdom, it is equivalent to strengthening Great Qian. In terms of the Xiongnu's territory, stability in all parties is the best situation for them. Otherwise, if one family dominates, once all parties are unbalanced, they won't have a good life either."

"And what this subject is most worried about is that Chu Kingdom and Yan Kingdom will secretly send envoys to lobby the Xiongnu, or even marry them and send gifts and resources to make them come to plunder my Great Qian!"

"This is the 'Vertical Alliance' to counter my Great Qian, so Your Majesty should be careful. You can use the 'Horizontal Alliance' to break it!"

"But now the Xiongnu are likely to have ideas about my Great Qian!"

Hum!

Accompanied by Gao Yang's words, Wu Zhao felt a hurricane blowing from the nine heavens, suddenly dispelling the fog in front of her.

Her fists clenched, and her eyes vibrated.

Gao Yang's words made sense. She also knew that the Xiongnu were a threat, but because the Xiongnu's invasion was not just against Great Qian, she didn't think much about it.

But according to Gao Yang, if the Xiongnu want to plunder, Great Qian will be the best choice!

Gao Tianlong's face was also ugly.

If viewed from the overall situation, it is as if pulling one hair affects the whole body. The Changancheng Defense War was a huge chain reaction that directly affected the situation in the world.

This secret game had already begun!

Gao Yang smiled and said, "However, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry. Now the weather is still a bit hot, and the Xiongnu may not necessarily go south to plunder grain, unless it gets colder and colder."

"The art of the Vertical Alliance also needs capable people to propose it, which is not necessarily the case. This subject is just reminding you."

Wu Zhao took a deep breath and said, "I'd better prepare early!"

After speaking, Wu Zhao took Shangguan Wan'er and hurried back to the palace.

Gao Tianlong looked at Gao Yang and couldn't help but say: "Yang'er, if the Xiongnu attack, can you predict the possible march route of the Xiongnu?"

"If we can prepare in advance, this will be a blessing for the people on the border!"

He was full of seriousness and earnestness.

Once the Xiongnu go south in large numbers, everywhere they go, there is wailing, not a blade of grass grows, all men and children are killed, and all women are taken away.

The people on the border of Great Qian are miserable!

If we can predict in advance and make more preparations, many, many people will die less!

But this is too difficult!

The Xiongnu have always been elusive, relying on the mobility of their cavalry, and their whereabouts are unpredictable. Even he finds it difficult to predict!

But for Gao Yang, he pinned high hopes.

As soon as these words came out, Gao Yang smiled immediately.

"Sun Er's thoughts are not clear now, so I'm afraid it's difficult to predict. If the thoughts are clear, there is still some possibility."

"Thoughts are not clear?"

Gao Tianlong looked puzzled.

How can the thoughts be clear?

But immediately after, Gao Yang stared at Gao Changwen with a cruel smile.

Gao Changwen was yawning. Suddenly seeing Gao Yang's eyes, his tiger body shook and his eyes widened.

He panicked instantly.

"Grandfather!"

"You promised grandson! A gentleman's word is like a horse that's hard to chase!"

Gao Changwen looked at Gao Tianlong nervously.

Gao Tianlong asked curiously, "What did I promise you?"

"Do you have any evidence?"

Hearing this, Gao Changwen almost had his eyes go black.

He looked at Gao Yang, who was approaching step by step with a smile, and felt that the sky had collapsed.

"Brother... calm down! Calm down!!" Gao Changwen retreated.

"Rest assured, your brother has always convinced people with virtue and taught people with rites!"

"Luoluo, bring the stick in the corner of the courtyard called 'Virtue' and the one called 'Rites'. This official wants to use them!"

Cold sweat broke out on Gao Changwen's forehead, and his delicate face changed.

"Brother, I admit, I wasn't careless, but the jealousy in my heart made me unrecognizable, and I was jealous of Lord Shangguan's hot spring bath!"

"This foolish younger brother was wrong!"

"..."

"Ah!!"

Gao Yang is a cultured person and never takes action, so he just friendly took a stick and talked to "Gao Changwen" about the truth, which moved the latter to tears and made him deeply realize his mistake.

Subsequently, he devoted himself to the great cause of forging truth.

With Great Qian's smelting technology, forging truth can be said to be a long and arduous journey, but this is a step that must be broken through. Smelting technology is the foundation of all industry!

For such an important matter, Wu Zhao also ordered him to put down other things first, except for attending court, and specialize in researching this matter.

Gao Yang also immediately expressed that he would retreat to study, rack his brains, and then handed the iron smelting technology he knew to the craftsmen, turned around and went to sleep.

This is not slacking off, let alone being lazy, but professional matters should be left to professional people, just like a mine boss never interferes with movies, only chooses actresses!

Time passed in a flash, five days later.

Early morning.
