Chapter 253 - 253 251 Where Destiny Belongs_1
?Chapter 253: Chapter 251: Where Destiny Belongs_1 Chapter 253: Chapter 251: Where Destiny Belongs_1 The reason Xiliang became a powerful nation was not due to its strong national policies or its unified national power, but because of its formidable cavalry. When the cavalry is strong, the army is strong, and when the army is strong, the nation is strong!
Xiliang bordered Rong, with vast lands in high-cold regions that were ideal for breeding good horses. The Jin Kingdom did not have such advantages.
In the Jin Kingdom, the cost of raising horses was extremely high. Feeding one horse required more grain than feeding thirty people.

Bai Qingyan very rationally analyzed with the Crown Prince: “Moreover, if Your Highness has the heart for unification, then there will inevitably be a life-or-death battle between Rong and the Jin Kingdom in the future. Rather than waiting for Rong to recover and gain the strength to challenge the Jin Kingdom, it would be better to take down Rong now, while they are in turmoil.”

She pursed her lips and stopped persuading him.
