Although Uncle Kuo is old and does not often come to the court, he still occupies the phase, and Fan Tao, the middle concubine, is the think tank he cultivated, even if Uncle Kuo is not there, Fan Tao largely represents Uncle Kuo.

Although there are many opponents in the court, the king of Jin has no opinion, and since the uncle recommended Fan Tao, the king of Jin is naturally relieved.

Through the inner hall of the palace, the king of Jin sat in front of the case, Fan Tao stood on the left side, and behind him was the topographic map of the Central Plains:

"Great King, if our army wants to cut down Xian, we must first control the Wangqin River, cut off the land east of the Xianguo Wangqin River and the waterway connecting the Xianguo Jiangxi River, so that we can march by land and seize the two places of Jiangdong and Jiangdong East County.

After that, our army stopped at Jiangdong and confronted Xianguo across the river. In this way, it can not only occupy its land, but also reassure the eldest grandson country, so as not to suspect the covenant of our king's oath. ”

"Well, what Qing Zhi saw coincided with the prime minister. Where, then, when will the army be able to cut down the salt? ”

"Late autumn, late autumn can send troops to attack salt. At present, there are princes and courtiers in the Xianguo court, borrowing grain from our Jin country, but the climate is far from forming. Therefore, it will still take time to cause a gap between the Han and the DPRK and cause civil strife, so that our army can attack it.

If the army is marched at the end of autumn, it is at the time when the rice is in the warehouse, and the whole country of Xianguo will have a poor harvest, grain and grass will be scarce, and people's hearts will be in turmoil for a long time. When the people's hearts are in turmoil, the hearts of the army will be in turmoil. Therefore, it is still necessary to wait for two months, and His Majesty believes that two months will be enough to cause chaos in Xianguo. ”

"That widow is negligent."

King Jin continued to ask, Fan Tao thought for a moment and said:

"King Qiqi, the land east of the Xianguo River accounts for a quarter of its territory, and there is a sharp increase of more than one million hungry people overnight, the king has considered it."

"You can use relief grain to help, and in the next two years, the crops will grow food, and the hungry people's needs will be solved."

King Jin wrote lightly, but Fan Tao said:

"Then may I ask the king, if Zhiguo knows that my Jin Kingdom uses relief grain to help millions of hungry people, and Zhiguo suddenly borrows grain at this time, what will happen to the king."

"This ......" King Jin was asked by Fan Tao, and he was at a loss for words: "In Qing's opinion, what should I do?" ”

"Let the king borrow grain."

"Borrowed food? Why borrow food. When the king of Jin heard the news, he was shocked and said angrily, "Who can lend grain to the widow at this time?" ”

"Borrowing grain from a different country can solve the needs of millions of hungry people. Qi Guo is backed by the West Sea, and Xian is north of Beihai, and if you get its land, Qi Guo can transport grain to Xian Guo. At that time, the king will use the grain of the country to help the people of the Xian country, so as to show the world that my Jin country is also short of food, and at the same time, it can also hide the national strength of the grain and grass of our Jin country, so as not to be coveted by the country, so as to delay the preparation of the country for war against me.

If this plan is successful, after our Jin State occupies the eastern territory of Xianguo, it is estimated by the ministers that it will delay the Zhiguo soldiers for two years, and at most three or five years. ”

"But why do you borrow grain from the country?"

"The king can use Gongzi Yan to exchange grain with Qiguo."

Fan Tao didn't mention it, and the king of Jin was about to throw Baili Yan out of the clouds. Since Baili Yan studied under Saiqian, the King of Jin was exempted from seeing him once every ten days, and he could not see him several times a year. Now that Fan Tao mentioned this again, King Jin remembered the recent rumors in a blink of an eye.

"I heard that Baili Yan has made some success in self-study of medicine, but is there such a thing?"

"Back to the king, there is indeed a thing. The minister once made people pretend to diagnose diseases, and Gongzi Yan prescribed the right medicine without falsehood, which shows that Gongzi Yan has medical skills at a young age, and his future medical attainments will be unlimited. And recently, he suddenly came and went with Bo Yuanjun, and it was rumored that Bo Yuanjun was delicious, and Gongzi Yan was good at cooking, so he and Bo Yuanjun were like-minded, and the two of them had been feasting and drinking day and night recently. ”

"There is such a thing!"

Hearing what Fan Tao said, King Jin was angry.

He was worried that if Bailiyan ran away with Bo Yuanjun, he would not be able to do anything. Even Bo Yuanjun opened his mouth and asked Bai Liyan to go to Liang Guoxiao with him to live for a few days, and King Jin had to give face.

Because he is about to send troops to attack Xianguo, Liang State is the center of public opinion, the hub of wealth in the world, there are many readers, plus Tongwen Yuan all over the Central Plains Continent, if Bo Yuanjun wants to make some articles, his big mouth goes back and talks nonsense, plucking Sun Guo, Zhiguo, and even Changsun Guo, Jin Guo's wishful thinking may not be able to achieve his wish.

Thinking of this, King Jin said:

"In Qing's opinion, how to borrow grain in the name of Gongzi Yan?"

"Your Majesty, what would happen if Gongzi Yan died in the sword of Xianguo."

"Qing is saying that if Gongzi Yan is killed by Xianguo, our army will borrow grain from Qiguo in the name of revenge?"

"Exactly, not only did they have to borrow, but they were also able to send the name of the funeral, so that the 100,000 sailors drove straight into the country, shocked the king of Qi, and forced the alliance under the city. At that time, the disagreement will have to borrow, and if it does not, it will have to borrow. ”

"But Xiangguo's intentions, let him stay in Jin, and then help him return to China to seize the throne, so that he can plan it in the future, why does Qing and Xiangguo disagree to the left?"

"My lord, this time and that time. I think Xiangguo also wanted to strangle Gongzi Yan back then, and conquered the land in the name of the funeral. Later, due to the catastrophe of Bailiyan, he had to change to a delaying tactic, so that he could be inoculated with Wang Rui, and then Xu Tuzhi.

The current situation has changed greatly compared to that year, and the hundred miles of regulation will not be long in coming, if Baili Law succeeds to the throne, if my king borrows grain from Baili Yan, Baili Law will definitely not borrow. At this time, our army was fighting against Xianguo again, and there were more than one million mouths, which could be fed, so it was difficult to ride a tiger.

Therefore, at this moment and time, the king should quickly make up his mind. ”

King Jin thought so, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"In Qing's opinion, how can Bailiyan die under the sword of Xianguo. It is a proton, and if the widow makes it out of battle, will it not make the whole world laugh. ”

"The king forgot that Gongzi Yan Nai Langzhong is not only Langzhong, but also can go out with the army, and there is no need to rush to the front line. But as for whether he died under the sword of Xianguo, the king felt that he had a choice? ”

"Hiss......" King Jin suddenly opened his mouth when he heard the news, and then he hurriedly said: "What does Qing mean, is it a curse?" ”

"Exactly, whether he died on the battlefield or in the camp, the king said that if he died in the Xianguo, he died under the sword of the Xianguo."

"However, what if the Yan doesn't obey? His teacher Sai Qian will definitely not allow it. ”

"King, the heart of the parents of the doctor, saving the dead and helping the injured and helping the poor is also benevolent. The king can promise benefits and make him feel compassion. ”

"How do you have compassion?"

"You can let Sima Wang Shuo of the city government lobby him, and at the same time let Wang Shuo go out together, Bailiyan will never shirk it."

When the king of Jin thought that this method was quite wonderful, he immediately agreed:

"What Aiqing said is extremely true, Wang Shuo is his father-in-law, and his father-in-law is out of battle, how can his son-in-law not follow suit."

"What the king said is true. Moreover, the minister Guan Bailiyan has a deep affection for Wang Rui, otherwise he would definitely not be able to teach himself medical skills to cure Wang Rui's gall. Therefore, if Wang Shuo lobbied Bailiyan, it is expected that Bailiyan will not refuse. ”

"This is very good, but this matter still needs to be asked to Xiangguo, what does Aiqing think?"

"The minister thinks that Xiangguo must agree with the minister's policy."

Fan Tao is quite confident, he is sure that what he means is what Uncle Xiangguo thinks.

With the current situation, this is the best result, which can maximize the value of Bailiyan and blackmail the three chips of Qiguo at the same time.

Shortly after this conversation ended, the King of Jin ordered someone to report the news to Gongshu Kuo, and Gongshu Kuo did not object. So not long after, the King of Jin summoned Sima Wang Shuo of the city government through the palace:

"See the king."

"Aiqing is exempt."

King Jin motioned for Wang Shuo to sit down, and when he sat down, Wang Shuo asked:

"I don't know if the king has any orders when he summons his ministers."

"Aiqing, Rui'er is seventeen years old this year."

"Back to the king, Rui'er is seventeen years old this year, why did the king suddenly mention this?"

"The widow has always been relieved of something, so he wants to discuss it carefully with Aiqing."

"Speak, my lord."

"Aiqing is one of the few good generals in my Jin army, and the few people want the general to be the Sima envoy of the Northern Army, what does the general think."

Wang Shuo was surprised when he heard the news, and he felt bad, so he asked carefully:

"What, does the king want to use troops against the Xian Kingdom?"

"Hehaha, Wang Qing, who knows me!" The King of Jin bluntly said that he wanted to use troops, and said bluntly at the next moment: "The widow has decided to use troops against Xianguo, what does Aiqing think?" ”

"No!"

Wang Shuo objected, and King Jin was puzzled:

"Why, why does Wang Qing think that it is not possible to use soldiers?"

"Great King, although the Xianguo is weak, it is stronger than the water army. The salty navy is fast, and the transportation of troops for thousands of miles is only overnight. If we attack Xian, we must first annihilate all its naval divisions before we can attack Xianguo, otherwise we will be rushed to the aid of it across the river, and our army will inevitably fall into a war of attrition. If our army is trapped in the Xian country for a long time, it will give the Zhiguo a gap to take advantage of.

Zhiguo and Xianguo have been at war for many years, although there are many victories and few defeats, but they have not made Xianguo succumb, and there is very little land, the stake is that Xianguo can always land with a naval division behind a strike, so Zhiguo failed to surrender to Xianguo in several battles. ”

"That Aiqing knows that six years ago, the widow ordered the master of the Ligong faction to build a strong ship and a hard crossbow for my Jin Kingdom, and the sailors of my Jin Kingdom are no longer what they used to be, and they are enough to fight!"

"The minister knows the king's deep meaning, but the naval army cannot be trained overnight, even if it is an invincible warship in the world, if there is no elite soldier to control it, it is equivalent to nothing."

As a general, Wang Shuo knows the way of using soldiers, and he knows the harm of using soldiers. What's more, in the fight against Xianguo, land warfare is not fatal, water warfare is.

It is very likely that Xianguo will land on the Jin mainland along the coastline of the North Sea by boat, and give the Jin army a blow in the back, what to do when the time comes. Moreover, the Xianguo naval army is blocked at the mouth of the Wangqin River, and if you want to attack the Xianguo from the North Sea, you must either completely control the Wangqin River, or you have to make a detour through the Menghan River into the East China Sea, and then go to the Beihai.

Easier said than done.

This navy is not an army, and it cannot be trained in a few years, and without ten or twenty years of accumulation and decades of tradition, it cannot be trained at all.

But what Wang Shuo thought of, Xiangguo Gongshu Kuo didn't expect? Of course I thought of it.

But Uncle Kuo kept a hand, Uncle Kuo didn't expect the Jin Navy to be able to level the Xianguo Navy at all, but pinned his hopes on the Navy to be powerful, first bluffing the Xianguo Navy Army, and then Uncle Kuo prepared the most lacking evil strategy, so that the Xianguo Navy was lacking in skills, and then annihilated.

Seeing Wang Shuo's attitude of resistance, King Jin forced Wang Shuo to say:

"If the widow only makes Aiqing serve as the Sima envoy of the Northern Army, and the Navy is led by another general, is Aiqing willing?"

"The minister only obeys the king's orders, if he sends troops, the minister should fight for the king with his liver and brain smeared with horse leather shrouds."

Wang Shuo did not hesitate to express his obedience, and King Jin was very happy:

"Well, the widow is very relieved!" King Dayue of Jin, the words suddenly changed and said, "General Wang, do you still remember your covenant with the widow six years ago?" ”

"The covenant between the minister and the king is nothing more than ......"

Wang Shuo was shocked, it was obvious that King Jin was going to kill Bailiyan when he mentioned this matter at this time.

But for so many years, he has been Bailiyan's nominal future father-in-law, and Bailiyan has cured Wang Rui's gall, if he kills him, where will he be and where will he be, and how will his daughter see herself. is reasonable, Wang Shuo can't bear to start.
