Gao Da was located in the east of Tianzhu. Its territory was not particularly vast, less than a third of the Jieri Dynasty's territory. However, She Shengjia, the ruler of Gao Da, was quite capable. Even though Gao Da's territory was not as vast as the Jieri Dynasty's, and Gao Da's strength was not as strong as the King of Jieri's, She Shengjia managed to hold on and not be defeated.
Gao Da's capital, Royal City.
She Shengjia was reading a book.
The book he was reading was called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." It was brought back from Xia Xia's bookstore by Oriha after he went on a diplomatic mission. Oriha loved books. After he went to Xia Xia, he found someone to recommend this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
However, this book had to be translated by a professional before it could be made available to the public.
After Oriha finished reading the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," She Shengjia happened to want to read too. She asked Oriha if there were any good books, so Oriha offered it to She Shengjia. She did not expect She Shengjia to be so engrossed in it.
Now, She Shengjia was reading about Zhuge Liang's verbal battle with the scholars of Jiangdong. This was one of the most exciting parts of the book. Even though it was translated, She Shengjia was still engrossed in it. In fact, She Shengjia knew that the translation would lose a lot of the essence of the original work. However, She Shengjia did not understand Xia Xia's words, so she could only read it like this.
She Shengjia shook her head as she read, praising in her heart. Zhuge Liang was really powerful. His mouth was incomparably sharp, and his mouth made the people of Jiangdong pale.
Knock! Knock!
There was a knock on the door, and an attendant entered and said, "Your Majesty, Oriha requests an audience."
She Shengjia said, "Let him in."
The chamberlain went to pass on the order. Not long after, Oliha entered and bowed to She Shengjia. She Shengjia put down the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and said, "Orica, this Romance of the Three Kingdoms can be called a peerless divine book. Such a book was simply the limit of wisdom. It was hard to imagine how Du Qi managed to write this book. Especially according to you, when Du Qi wrote this book, he was only in his teens. "
Oriha said, "Your Majesty, Du Qi is indeed very powerful. When this subject had an audience with Du Qi at Xia Xia, Du Qi shouldn't have known about our Gao Da State, but Du Qi didn't seem to be unfamiliar with Your Majesty. This person was extremely intelligent and powerful. However, Du Qi was also conceited. It was precisely because of this that he signed a letter of credence with us, saying that if we didn't fulfill the agreement, he would attack us. "
She Shengjia said in a deep voice, "Du Qi is not simple and not easy to deal with. In short, we have to be careful. "
After a pause, She Shengjia asked, "What are you here for?"
Oriha said with a smile, "Your Majesty, there is good news from the north. The army led by Du Qi has arrived at Kenpo Province. At present, the capital of Kenpo Province has been taken, and the King of Kenpo Province, Vadhara, has surrendered. The defeat of Jian Tuo Luo Country is great news to us. Now, the King of Jieri's army at the border of our Gao Da State is no longer attacking with full force. I can foresee that the King of Jieri will definitely send troops north to fight Du Qi. "
She Shengjia smiled and said, "It is indeed good news."
For the entire Gao Da State, the King of Jieri had exerted a great deal of pressure. Now that the King of Jieri had been attacked by Du Qi, he could no longer attack Gao Da State. In fact, once the King of Jieri and Du Qi both suffered heavy losses, or if the King of Jieri was defeated by Du Qi, She Shengjia could lead the army north and bite off a piece of meat from the Jieri State.
In She Shengjia's eyes, he would have the advantage no matter what, and he would have the advantage.
Oriha continued, "Your Majesty, we can start preparing for war."
She Shengjia stood up and said in high spirits, "It is indeed time for us to take action. This war is the war that will turn our Gao Da State around."
All these years, She Shengjia had been suppressed by the King of Jieri.
She was almost unable to hold on and could only barely hold on. Fortunately, Du Qi had established a foothold in the Western Region. She Shengjia had arranged for Oriha to go and ask for help. This move completely reversed She Shengjia's situation.
"Report!"
At this moment, another eunuch came in.
The eunuch reported, "Your Majesty, a scout from the Jieri State has returned to report that the news is extremely urgent."
She Shengjia said, "Let him in."
The eunuch went to pass on the order, and in a short while, the scout hurried in. After the scout bowed, he took out a letter and said, "Your Majesty, there has been a great change in Kenpo Province."
Oriha took the letter and handed it to She Shengjia. At this moment, She Shengjia also felt a sense of urgency. He quickly took out the letter and read it. When She Shengjia finished reading it, he frowned and had a serious expression on his face.
He never thought that Du Qi would actually implement the strategy of abolishing the caste system in Kenpo Province.
Oriha couldn't wait and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
She Shengjia said, "See for yourself."
Oriha took the letter and quickly browsed through it. After he finished reading it, he muttered to himself and said, "Your Majesty, this is clearly a good thing! Du Qi abolished the caste system and even slaughtered the Brahmin and Kshatriya people in Jiantuoluo. This action made Du Qi the enemy of the whole world, and the King of Jieri had no choice but to attack Du Qi. To us, this alleviates our pressure. However, Du Qi's action is a little self-righteous. "
She Shengjia shook his head and said with a serious expression, "If things were that simple, it would be easy to handle. The problem is that there will be three problems. "
Oriha said, "What problems?"
She Shengjia stroked the white beard under his chin, and a light flashed in his slightly turbid eyes. He said, "The first problem is that we invited Du Qi. We have an agreement with Du Qi, which is equivalent to an alliance. Du Qi's abolition of the caste system will also affect us. "
Oriha said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, there shouldn't be a big problem with a little explanation."
She Shengjia nodded and continued, "The second problem is that Du Qi's abolition of the caste system has caused the entire Jieri State to be in an uproar. Similarly, after the news spread here, countless nobles will hate Du Qi and want to kill Du Qi as soon as possible. If we have anything to do with Du Qi, it will affect us. Therefore, Du Qi can't be our foreign aid right now. We even have to distance ourselves from Du Qi. "
Oriha said, "Your Majesty is right."
She Shengjia continued, "The third problem is that the King of Jieri has encountered the abolition of the caste system. In order to suppress the situation in Jieri State, he has to go up north. If we sneak attack Jieri State at this time, I'm afraid we will be resisted by the whole country. The Brahmin and Kshatriya will not agree. This is because the battle between the King of Jieri and Du Qi is also related to the interests of the Kshatriya and Brahmin. This will affect our strategy to attack the King of Jieri. "
Oriha said, "Your Majesty is wise. I didn't consider this."
She Shengjia sighed and said again, "In fact, there will be some impact. If Du Qi abolishes the caste system, many of the untouchables in our country may defect and leave. "
Oriha frowned. He didn't expect Du Qi's move to cause such a big change.
She Shengjia said, "Oriha, stop targeting the King of Jieri for now. Ignore the situation in Jieri State and focus on stabilizing the situation in the country. Also, announce that we don't agree with Du Qi's decision. Gaoda State will definitely respect the caste system. For now, stabilize the country and prevent the untouchables from causing trouble. "
"Yes!"
Oriha immediately agreed.
She Shengjia waved his hand and Oriha turned to leave. At this moment, She Shengjia sat alone in the hall, but there was a hint of worry on his face. Although he had achieved his goal by inviting Du Qi to go down south to deal with the King of Jieri, it had caused unnecessary trouble.
Especially since Du Qi was a dragon crossing the river. The turmoil caused by Du Qi was no longer under his control.
She Shengjia was a little vexed.
It felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
