At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

If Shen He really has great talent, then he must have many insights into the world situation.

Speaking of the situation in the world, Wen Yan next to him immediately pricked up his ears and acted as if he was listening attentively.

She wanted to see what this southern barbarian could say about the general situation.

"Although the Shen family is only in Lin'an, they also know a thing or two about the world." Shen He picked up the wine glass and talked about the world's trends.

The Wu State in the east is located in a prosperous area along the coast. However, due to its geographical location, it lacks copper and iron, and has a long river as a natural barrier. It is difficult to advance northward and centrally, and is not qualified to set foot in the Central Plains to compete for the world.

The barbarians in the south, although rich, have hundreds of villages everywhere. The people in many villages are not civilized and have fierce customs, so there is no need to worry.

The Shu Kingdom in the west was located in a barren land in the southwest. It was rich in copper and iron minerals, but its smelting and development methods were extremely backward. There were poor mountains and bad waters everywhere, making it difficult to leave the Shu Mountains.

Although the Wei Kingdom in the north was of the same lineage as the Han Dynasty, the king of the previous Wei dynasty commanded his own troops and proclaimed himself emperor, fighting against the Han Dynasty.

The State of Wei dominated the north for many generations. Its land was rich and it had millions of strong soldiers and fine horses. The current emperor employed virtuous and brave generals to expand to the east, resist the Hu people in the north, connect with the Western Regions in the west, and fight for the Central Plains in the south. It had the potential to dominate the world, but it was really a pity, what a pity.

Shen He picked up the cup and took a long drink, then shook his head.

"Since Wei has the potential to dominate the world, why should we be so cautious?" Ren Hao and Wen Yan said in unison, and then they looked at each other with an excited look on their faces.

Although Ren Hao was well aware of the general situation in the world, he had never discussed it with anyone. After all, everyone has different opinions.

Ren Hao had tried to talk to Liu Min about this before, but Liu Min obviously didn't understand it. He just wanted to do his best to teach the book well. As for the general situation of the world, he had never studied it.

No matter how much he studies, he will never have the chance to serve as an official in the court.

Instead of eating salty radishes and worrying about things, it is better to drink today and enjoy the wine today.

Now that a capable person who is familiar with the general situation has appeared in the world, Ren Hao feels like he has met a confidant. Finally, there is someone he can talk to.

As for Wen Yan's enthusiasm, it was because she was completely attracted by Shen He's analysis of the world's situation. It was the first time that someone analyzed the world's situation so clearly.

If Ren Hao is a rare talent in the world, then Shen He is his assistant.

"The reason why I regret it is that Wei State has the right time to compete for supremacy in the world, but it does not have the right location."

"Wei State has neither natural defenses nor geographical boundaries. Although it can attack the east, south, west, and north, the east, south, west, and north can also attack it."

"In the north, the Hu people are harassing the royal court, in the east, there is the tolerant Bai Qi, and in the west, there are many small countries in the Western Regions. Even if one country is destroyed, there is still another country."

"Even if the current Emperor of Wei has a million soldiers, he still has to deploy more troops to guard against them."

"If the Wei State had the best of time and place, the War God Pass would have been flattened by the Wei State's cavalry and the country would have been unified long ago." Shen He explained to the three of them. Ren Hao naturally understood and nodded, and Wen Yan was more confident in Shen He's ability.

As for Liu Min next to him, he could only nod his head in confusion, feeling as if he was possessed by Zhang Kuai.

And the reason why the ancient Han Dynasty is still continuing today is that it has the advantage of geographical location.

The Eastern Wu was unable to invade because of its shortage of copper, iron and armor.

The southern barbarian land was in chaos with hundreds of villages. Only a few of the people knew about the Central Plains, but they only harassed the Han border and caused chaos.

The land of Western Shu was even more barren, with poor mountains and bad water, making it difficult to escape the mountains and endangering the fate of the Han Dynasty.

As for the Northern Wei Dynasty, it had the best timing but not the best location, and it was difficult for its millions of soldiers to gather together and march south in one fell swoop.

"Although the ancient Han Dynasty has all the geographical advantages to prolong its national prosperity, it will be doomed sooner or later if it does not change the status quo," Shen He continued.

And his words also touched Wen Yan's pain point. Gu Han is indeed in danger now.

Before Ren Hao could speak, Wen Yan next to him asked, "Sir, what do you think of the Han people today?"

"The current Han imperial family is weak, and the princes are becoming more and more powerful, especially the King of Linnan who is annexing the southern land."

"If the current emperor is content with the status quo and does not change his strategy, I am afraid that the powerful King of Linnan will become the biggest enemy of the Han Dynasty."

"The one that overthrew the Han Dynasty might not be the Northern Wei or Eastern Wu, but Linnan." Shen He expressed his opinion. After all, he was born in Linnan.

Although Linnan was a barbaric land with hundreds of villages, once the King of Linnan unified Linnan, the Han's geographical advantage would no longer exist.

If the King of Linnan rebelled, the best plan would be to proclaim himself emperor. However, if he was not satisfied and wanted to invade the Central Plains in the north, the Han Dynasty would be attacked from all sides and be in danger of being destroyed.

"This..." Wen Yan was suddenly speechless.

When the other princes of the Han royal family faced the invasion of Wei troops, they neither sent troops to help nor gave money. However, only King Linnan fulfilled the obligations of a prince and sent both troops and money, thus becoming close to the royal family.

If someone said that King Linnan was going to rebel, she would be the first one not to believe it.

Wen Yan was very suspicious that Shen He's statement that Prince Linnan would rebel was intended to secretly stir up trouble among the royal family members.

After all, his village was taken away by his younger brother, and he surrendered to King Linnan.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Shen He immediately understood that what he said was too sensitive.

"You don't think that I am intentionally stirring up trouble among the royal family members in order to get you to send troops to help me take back the villagers, do you?" Shen He suddenly laughed and broke the silence.

"I don't think so, but your words are really too sensitive. His Majesty and Prince Linnan are as close as brothers. No one would believe you if you said that he might rebel." Ren Hao shook his head and glanced at Wen Yan beside him.

Wen Yan had a strange expression at this time, making Ren Hao unable to guess what she was thinking.

"If that's the case, then you really underestimate the Shen family's vision."

"That village has only a thousand people. If I take the opportunity to sow discord among the royal family in order to take them back, it would show that the Shen family has no strategy." Shen He shook his head and spread his hands, indicating that he had no selfish motives at all.

"If that's the case, why are you so sure that King Linnan will rebel?" Wen Yan asked.

"If the King of Linnan just wanted to be king, why did he launch such a massive attack to expand the territory, recruit scholars from Linnan, teach those uncivilized villagers culture, open up wasteland for farming, and actively mine and smelt?"

"His ambition is not only to be a king, but to be an emperor." Shen He said it all. As the saying goes, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that the King of Linnan is just a cousin of the current emperor.

Whether King Linnan sent troops or donated money to help, it was just a test.

If the Han Dynasty could no longer hold on and asked King Linnan for help, he would have a legitimate reason to send in a large army.

By then, it would really be like inviting a wolf into the house.
