Because it was an urgent military situation, Cui Hao was also quickly invited to the study.

When Cui Hao was looking at the intelligence, Duan Ye said: "The current Yao Chang feels to me that he is a trapped beast, and he probably has no fundamental impact on the world, but at this time, he ran to the front line of Xiaoguan, isn't this causing us trouble." ”

Duan Ye's words are very realistic. Although Duan Ye is now in the west, his prestige and fame are no longer a local figure, and Yao Chang is here at this time to give Duan Ye a problem.

No matter what Duan Ye does, it seems that there are a lot of disadvantages, in other words, what Duan Ye is facing now is that there is no obvious choice of the best choice. What is needed is to weigh the pros and cons, and try to maximize the benefits and minimize the disadvantages, but not the best choice every time as in the past.

After Cui Hao finished reading it, he said: "My lord, Yao Chang came to Xiao Guan, I think he must have calculated it!" Figured out where we struggled. When we move troops to fight, we are mobilizing the army, and we may also clash with Fu Hong's men and horses. If we ignore it, it will shake the morale of the army, affect the prestige of the adults, and affect the reputation of Liangzhou. And presumably Fu Hong can let him run all the way here, and he can't help but use him, the so-called strategy to drive the wolf and devour the tiger. ”

"This trick." Duan Ye snorted, "Even if Yao Chang was a tiger in the past, I'm afraid he is also a sick cat now!" But I am not afraid of him. ”

"Your Excellency." Liu Guo said, "You still need to go to Chang'an recently, and time is pressing." ”

"That's a nuisance." Duan Ye said, "If the time drags on for too long, I will be passive, before I decided, after the table, I will leave immediately, because it is impossible for Fu Hong to let me wait until I reply, then I am afraid that the daylily will be cold, but if there is a mess here in Liangzhou, how can I rest assured that I can go to Chang'an." ”

Liu Guo said: "I heard that the adults have recently developed a firearm, which can be used in advance in a hundred steps." ”

"It's not going to work." Duan Ye said, "This is my killer feature!" And I'm not afraid to tell you, this thing in my hand is more lethal than you think, this is a cattle knife, it will be used to kill big fish in the future, you can't kill chickens now! While everyone was discussing, Chu Yunshen came to report and said, "My lord! There is a person, who claims to be Yao Xing, the son of Yao Chang, the king of Qiang, who has arrived at the east gate of Guzang and asks to see the adult! Duan Ye, Cui, and Liu glanced at each other, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Duan Yeqi said: "It's really true now, we're still talking, he came to the door by himself." You see, what does he want to do? ”

Cui Hao also looked puzzled and said, "I can't understand it now, my lord, let's talk about it first." ”

"Yes! Then see you first. ”

In the study, Duan Ye and Yao Xing sat as the host and guest. Yao Xing looks very delicate, with fair skin, a long figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he can be regarded as a beautiful man.

After the two exchanged a few words, Duan Ye went straight to the point and said, "Yao Gongzi didn't seem to have much contact with Duan in the past, but this time he came suddenly, I don't know if I have any advice?" ”

"Hehehe." Yao Xing said: "Yao Xing has long heard that Master Duan is elegant and elegant, and he is like today's first-class young hero, and when I look at it today, it really deserves its reputation!" But this time Yao Xing came to Guzang, but he wanted to talk about a business with adults! ”

"Business?" Duan Ye picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Duan Ye doesn't seem to be a businessman. ”

"But adults are in business all the time."

"Even if you want to do it, it depends on how much this business can make, and how much you will lose if it doesn't work."

"Your Excellency will be satisfied."

"You might as well tell me about it!" Duan Ye put down the teacup and said, and Yao Xing also smiled.

"My father is now leading an army of 50,000 and has arrived at the border of Liangzhou, and he specially sent Yao Xinglai to inform the adults, but this time, my father wants to go west to Hehuang!"

"Hehuang?" Duan Ye was taken aback, wasn't this the nomadic land of the Bald Hair Department. What does he want to do?

Then Duan Ye understood, it seems that it is because the base of the Longyou Qiang people has been wiped out, and now Yao Chang and his son are desperate, so they have to find a place to stay, right? There are no other places to recruit, because people have already occupied them, and now they actually think of this, which makes Duan Ye feel a little funny in his heart.

And 50,000, this is really bragging, not afraid of flashing his tongue, if he Yao Chang has 50,000 horses now, Yao Xing will not appear here at all.

Could it be that the father and son of the Yao family have all mixed up to this point?

After all, choosing a place as a base is too much knowledge, and to a certain extent, it is directly related to the success or failure of the cause, and it cannot be casual.

Although Wu Qi said in the past, the danger of mountains and rivers and the solidity of rivers are not as important as the virtue of the king and the support of the people, that is, the so-called danger in virtue is not in danger, after all, there is no danger in the world that cannot be attacked. Although Tongguan is dangerous, after all, Xiang Yu has entered it, and Cao Cao has entered it; Although Qutang is dangerous, after all, Cen Peng has entered it, and Huan Wen has entered it; Although Tongguan is dangerous, after all, Xiang Yu has entered it, and Cao Cao has entered it. Any strong city will eventually be breached.

But then again, geography is by no means negligible. The location of the base directly determines the difficulty of establishing the foundation and the process of keeping the business and making further progress in the future.

As Duan Ye said before, the geographical pattern under this world is a pattern similar to the Go chessboard, with Guanzhong, Hebei, Southeast and Sichuan as its four corners, Shanxi, Shandong, Hubei and Hanzhong as its four sides, and the Central Plains as its central hinterland.

In the game of Go, except for a few people who win people against the sky, most people start with the corner, occupy the field, then the edge, and finally the middle belly, that is, the so-called golden horn and silver edge grass belly.

The so-called "mountain and river metropolis". Generally speaking, it is easy to form strategic points in places where there are both mountain hazards and rivers and waterways to circulate. Guanzhong, Jiangnan, Hebei, and Shuzhong are four such places. If you really want to build a great cause, you must establish a base here. Because the criss-crossing mountains and rivers divide the world into several relatively independent places. The hinterland of these places generally has a certain spatial capacity, and the periphery is surrounded by dangerous mountains or rivers; There are large and small rivers flowing inside and outside the perimeter, which are not only the transportation lines that circulate within these regions, but also link different regions, and this connection is an important basis for the formation of strategic relations between regions.

Among them, the strategic significance of mountains and rivers is the same. The significance of the mountain range is to block, and the most important thing is that there are holes to pass; The significance of the river lies in its circulation, and it is important to have a stronghold to hold it. If there are dangers in mountainous areas, it is easy to establish a base area in a chaotic situation, form a local order, and accumulate strength; If there are rivers and waterways that can circulate, it is convenient to project power to the outside, to expand outward, and to intervene in the overall situation. These four places have such conditions.

It's a pity that the Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, although it has long been defeated, but at least now, in a short period of time, it is still unshakable. Fu Hong in Guanzhong is also a fortune teller, and Yao Chang was very promising to replace him, but in the end he still failed. Hebei is where the Murong family started, and now that they have also gone there, there is basically no chance.

Duan Ye also had no choice, so he chose Liangzhou, after all, he started here at that time, and the principle of proximity. But Duan Ye also clearly knows that Liangzhou can only be the first step, and he will still be here in the future, and he may have the opportunity to compete in the world, but it still can't be done.

In fact, Duan Ye has always been very curious, to say that the place in Shuzhong is rich in products, and the power of the Qin Empire there is relatively weak, Huan Xuan tried to rob it, although he was defeated, but it also hit the power of Fu Bao hard, Yao Chang's geographical location is very close to there, and he should take advantage of the defeat to rob Shuzhong, how did he come here.

What makes Duan Ye even more strange is that even if he runs away, he is still fighting the idea of Hehuang, that place is several times the size of Guanzhong, but the population is not as good as one-twentieth, and it is mainly grassland, and it is far away from the Central Plains, does the Yao family father and son really want to go back to their old profession to be herdsmen?

No! That's impossible! Duan Ye would never believe that these people who were used to living a good life were willing to come back to herd horses and sheep.

Yao Xing saw that Duan Ye didn't speak for a while, and then said, "My lord, what are you still thinking?" Do you want why Yao Xingsuo came? ”

"Not bad!" Duan Ye came back to his senses, "Your appearance here now is indeed beyond my expectations. ”

"Hehehe, it's no wonder." Yao Xing groaned and said: "My lord, I won't hide it from you, I think you must also know that now, my father has fought with Fu Hong several times in a row, and it has not been smooth, and he has also encountered Fu Xu's attack, it can be said that there are certain losses, but I can tell you!" We were only temporarily disadvantaged, and we did not hurt our vitality. ”

Seeing that Duan Ye didn't believe it, Yao Xing said: "I know, it's difficult to convince adults, strength is played, not spoken, we must have a way to prove it to adults." ”

"Well, it doesn't matter." Duan Ye said, "But I can answer you, bald Xianbei, is an ally of this official, and I still have to marry with their clan, so don't mention the matter of attacking Hehuang." ”

"It's okay if you don't attack." Yao Xing surprisingly did not argue on this issue, "But I still have a proposal." ”

Sure enough, that's the point. Duan Ye concentrated, "What is the proposal?" ”

"I want to ask the adults for help, we want to borrow it."

"Borrow?" Duan Yeqi said, "What to borrow?" ”

"Is it by the way of the great leader of the bald tribe? Excuse me. Yao Xing said with a smile, "Of course, since he opened the way, we will give the money to buy the road." ”
