Each era has different ideas, so there is a greater surprise about the generation gap between each era, Lu Zhe's thoughts are not so the same as everyone today, and the things he makes when faced with a choice are naturally unpredictable.

It doesn't matter if Lu Zhe is angry, or if he doesn't play cards according to common sense, he just hates Qi Guo who lures wolves into the house, and Yan Guo, who has been following Qi Guo blindly, also doesn't like it.

It is not that no one has ever used any strategy of long-distance and close-range diplomatic relations, and it is believed that it is a very "orthodox" strategy to destroy the alliance between Qi, Yan, and Zhao before starting a war, and to win over the Yan state far away in Liaodong. But to be honest, that's what you say, but the Yan State is now very dependent on funds and technology from the Qi State to develop Liaodong and the Peninsula, what price should the Han State pay to win over the Yan State?

It is precisely because the Han State is too far away from the Yan State that during the honeymoon period when the Qi State invests in the Yan State, there is no way to form an oppression by force, and second, it cannot actually help the Yan State, and what can be used to win over the Yan State? Do you want to rely on your three-inch tongue to fool around, then you really treat the monarchs and ministers of Yan Kingdom as brainless idiots!

Lu Zhe's thinking has never been to do useless things, and then the Han State has been preparing for sending troops to the north for four years, and has made sufficient plans from the army to the relevant intelligence, and the war has never relied on opportunism to achieve the final victory, once the war breaks out, it is hard power, and conspiracy and trickery have always been only an auxiliary role.

Historically, when the strength is not as good as others, it is necessary to use conspiracy and trickery, usually in a sense, this is a real military risky move, after all, the use of conspiracy to plot others must also have the psychological preparation to be calculated. In many cases, there are many cases of conspiracy and trickery that are obviously solved by hard power, and the result is that instead of calculating people, they fall into the big pit designed by others, and a war that must be won will be lost in the end, and there are many examples of self-defeating.

For the Han State, it was not the ultimate goal of this war to eliminate Qi, Yan, and Zhao, who had been in a state of war for many years, and Lu Zhe had determined the final plan to send troops north from the beginning. That is the grassland Hu people who have already stretched their claws into the land of China.

How long can a country withstand the toss, especially if the country has not really been rested? The consumption of young and strong people in war is very terrifying, and the consumption of materials requires the use of massive quantities.

The news that Lu Zhe probed from various channels all showed that the countries were in a state of war all the year round, and their country was an unexaggerated situation of people's misery.

How can it be that the people are not living in poverty? In an environment where the productive forces are strict and backward, the continuous expansion of the armed forces must be aimed at concentrating a large number of young and strong people, who are also the backbone of the society, and the transfer of young and strong people into the army that is not engaged in production is really a heavy blow to a society that is already short of labor. This phenomenon was a difficult problem not only in 216 B.C., but also in the First and Second World Wars.

Others are fighting to the death. However, the Han Kingdom only made a small fuss against a small country like Ouluo in the south, and in general, it cultivated and recuperated relatively peacefully for four years, and there was already a huge gap here.

Qi, Yan, and Zhao had no advantage over the Shang Qin State at all, and a large number of elites were involved in the battlefield of Sanchuan County, and the Han army, which had been preparing for four years, had the strength to gain a heavy advantage after the war, even if it wanted to exercise diplomatic relations, the object should not be Qi, Yan, and Zhao, but the Qin State, which was more important to the Han State.

The Qin State was more important to the Han State, and many people would be confused, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand why.

Because of the existence of the Qin State, the spearhead of the countries has always been aimed at the Qin State. They are natural mortal enemies, and for either side it is a never-ending situation.

In addition, Lu Zhe made a series of deductions, whether from practical needs or changes in the general situation. The Han State had already recognized the fact that the steppe Hu people could not be allowed to enter the Qin land and gain a firm foothold.

Just imagine, if the Qin State is finished, the countries will be able to use all their strength to fight the Han State, and at the same time, once the grassland Hu people occupy the Qin land and have their backs to the grassland, the situation will be formed. What kind of scenario should that be?

First of all, the Han Kingdom, which was increasingly in need of horses, lost the channel to buy horses because of the fall of the Qin State, and then the border of the Han State was so long. Is it possible for Qin to take the initiative in the face of Qi, Yan, Zhao, and Xiongnu in the Han State?

In addition, once the forces of Qi, Yan, Zhao, and Xiongnu formed a great alliance in the north, it would be a situation of confrontation between the north and the south, and at that time, as long as the northern forces were not stupid, they would definitely blockade any channels, and the Han would not only lose the source of horses and other livestock at that time, but also the goods of the Han would no longer be able to be exported.

Qin is here, and the north will not all belong to the grand alliance led by Qi, which is an undeniable situation, but the current situation of Qin is simply terrible, so it is necessary to fight for Zhao, which is weak and less and less able to deal with Qi.

The news of ceding Ba County, Shu County, and Hanzhong County in exchange for Han trade channels and sending troops north to fight against the Hu people in the grassland is indeed a public opinion operation on the Qin side.

In addition to putting some pressure on the other countries, the intention of the Qin State to do this was not to release smoke to the Han State and try to avoid the Qin-Han War, while the Qin State was also looking for a way to reverse the unfavorable situation.

Lu Zhe's actions are unpredictable, but Qin Guo has found some factual pulses, and that is also because Lu Zhe has many times when he sees that Qin Guo is about to collapse.

"Is the King of Han really willing to send troops north to participate in the Hu War?" Although he had already guessed some of Lu Zhe's inexplicable moves, Fusu was still shocked to get the news: "What...... How can it be that simple!? ”

The court of the Qin State also felt incredulous, they made a lot of practical efforts to avoid entering a state of war with the Han State at this juncture, and they also tried to do even if it was impossible.

For the apologization of Hanzhong County, Ba County, and Shu County to avoid war, the Qin State is very sure that it can be done, after all, the purpose of expanding the territory can be achieved without a large-scale war, what reason does the Han State have for dissatisfaction? However, when the Han army sent troops north to fight against the Xiongnu, Wang Juan, who was the envoy, mentioned it to Xiao He as a joke on an informal occasion, but he didn't expect that Lu Zhe would specially invite Wang Juan to discuss the possibility of resisting the Xiongnu later, which was really surprising and surprising.

Wang Juan, who returned to Xianyang from Nanling, was actually not so sure if things were that simple, and he even described any expression change on Lu Zhe's face at that time when he elaborated.

"Lonely...... A little incomprehensible, "Fusu seemed to be happy and at a loss: "Have you finalized how many soldiers and horses of the Han army will go north?" ”

Wang Juan replied: "The king of Han mentioned that 30,000 people went north in advance, and in addition to opening weapons and armor, the supply of war horses was borne by Daqin. ”

Feng Zheng waited for Wang Juan to finish speaking, and interjected: "King Han's move is very sincere, but the war horse is easy to say, but the grain is ......."

Wang Juan has long said this: "The king of Han means that in addition to the Ba County and Shu County of Hanzhong County, they can be purchased for a fee, and Daqin is equivalent to exchanging the land of the two counties for wealth and other materials from the Han State......"

"No!" Meng Yi couldn't help but cut off Wang Juan's speech, he said: "The land of the two counties is to avoid war, and it is also Daqin who is determined to destroy the plank road before giving it up. If the king of Han funded the purchase, the Han state's cassus bella against Great Qin would not be ended, and it would only be a huge hidden danger. ”

Fusu also felt that this was a trap, he had been understanding Lu Zhe's strategy of ruling the country when he had nothing to do recently, and he could clearly see that the Han State was implementing a policy of governing the country with equal responsibilities and obligations, so if the Qin State agreed to mention it so much, it would be equivalent to Lu Zhe not fulfilling his responsibilities to the people under his rule, and from the perspective of what Lu Zhe had been doing, it was absolutely inconceivable to do such a thing.

Wang Juan was angry when he was interrupted to speak, and he was silent for a while, and said melancholy: "The treasury is already empty, even if the Han State has not cut off the trade channels, Daqin really can't trade with the treasures." If the exchange of livestock is adopted, the cavalry of the Han State ...... It will grow stronger and stronger. ”

It is no secret that the Han army went to war against Qi Yan, and within three months the army oppressed and threatened Linzi, the capital of Qi, after the Han army had swept away the Qi army in northern Surabaya and Donghai County.

In this war of the Han State, the war strategy of the Han army has been different from the past war mode, that is a kind of cavalry and mixed corps coordinated operations, Qin Guo keenly found that Lu Zhe's use of the cavalry has made the war completely different, especially the Han cavalry to carry out a wide range of division and blockade, and then carry out long-distance raids and other examples, that are the Qin generals have been constantly discussing and deducing war games recently.

The Han army's tactics were terrifying, using the high-speed mobility of the cavalry army, which was a method that China had understood in the past, but the large-scale cutting and blockade, and the interception and elimination of the enemy army, made a large battlefield form countless local battlefields. In the kind of war situation where one side completely controls the smooth transmission of information and the other side is completely blind, it is estimated that it will be difficult to do anything if Sun Wu is the side that completely loses contact with the news transmission.

Not only did the Qin not only discover the impact of this new method of warfare on warfare, but they also discovered a phenomenon that was difficult to detect, that is, the Han army did not seem to attach importance to the characteristics of any generals. To put it bluntly, the generals who command the battle do not need to have a high degree of talent, and the generals who actually participate in the battle are all some praise paintings (auxiliary planning or praise painting machines, that is, staff officers) to work together, and the general is just a military general who executes orders.

Thinking of what kind of military academy the Han Kingdom is constantly building, and the military has begun to clearly distinguish their respective responsibilities, wouldn't that open up a new system? (To be continued......)
