What kind of joke is it to stop the war altogether? The rest and recuperation that Lu Zhe refers to is not to conduct large-scale wars, in fact, even if he is unwilling to start another war, will other forces agree?

Restoring the people's livelihood has greatly increased productivity, treating Qianshou well to win the hearts of the people, and so on is just to create a stable foundation, so that he can have a greater advantage in future wars, and Lu Zhe is not so naïve as to think that if he does not attack others, others will be able to let them develop steadily.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." Lu Zhe looked at the four of them: "I have often heard the words 'the world of great controversy' recently, but in fact, it is not entirely correct to say this. ”

Seems a bit out of place?

Lu Zhe went straight down and said: "I tell you very clearly, now is not only a world of great contention, but also a great fierce trend. When you see the resumption of the establishment of the countries, you may think that maybe it is another pattern of warring states competing for power, and you think that the next situation is just another situation of warring states fighting for hegemony. I tell you very clearly, there will be no more Warring States for hegemony, with the precedent of Great Qin dominating the world, the next war is not as simple as winning and continuing to coexist by giving up a few cities. ”

“？” Kuaitong and the other four were stunned.

They were a little dazed, not that they couldn't understand what Lu Zhe was saying, but that Lu Zhe said that those words were too sudden, so that they were stunned for a moment.

"War can only end with one side of the force once again dominating the world, and in this environment where only one side can exist, the attacks that come and go in the world will not stop for a moment. If you don't strive for the upper reaches and maintain the peak of your military strength, you will fall behind and be pinned down step by step. "Lu Zhe said very strictly.

Seriously, they really didn't expect Lu Zhe's mind to be like this. They made an erroneous judgment from Lu Zhe's move to reduce the army, thinking that what Lu Zhe said about recuperation and recuperation was to maintain a certain number of troops, and then the resources were tilted towards civil affairs.

"The strength of the army is based on the sufficient supply of troops and the productivity of military equipment. Why should I try my best to restore the livelihood of the people in the counties? For the love of the head of Qian. In order to restore productivity, with these two premises, we will have a future. Lu Zhe said it explicitly, without the slightest embellishment, but the truth is exactly like that.

"This ......"

The four of them were all speechless, and Lu Zhe said what is the "truth" behind loving the people and attaching importance to the people's livelihood, and the ruling class has worked hard to operate throughout the ages, in order to achieve military achievements? This achievement can be for self-preservation, or it can be for the forces to expand outward, and some of them have understood it early on. Some people only understand now, but Lu Zhe's words are too naked, and it sounds weird.

"Don't spread this word, otherwise you will be sad if you love the Lord deeply." Yan Bi felt that the atmosphere was weird, and smiled dryly and wanted to adjust the atmosphere.

Lu Zhe also wanted to let the four major clerks under his command know his thoughts before he said nakedly, he glanced at Yan Bi who spoke, and then continued: "Looking at the countries that have been restored one after another, what they think is to restore the pattern before the unification of Qin and form another six kingdoms to resist Qin. With this ridiculous idea. After they had just returned to the country, they fought again for some petty profits, and even fought with each other, completely unaware that they were destined to be ruined by Great Qin again. ”

"You mean that Great Qin will once again dominate the world?" Kuaitong asked.

"I didn't say that." Lu Zhe had a smile on his face: "If Your Majesty is young and strong, Great Qin will definitely dominate the world again." If there is someone among the sons who is similar to His Majesty, I don't dare to divide it myself. ”

The four of them fell into deep thought, they actually didn't quite understand why Lu Zhe was still attached to the Great Qin Banner since he had already formed a separation. It becomes such a situation that is not embarrassing or embarrassing. Now it seems that they are beginning to understand a little bit that their own master is afraid of the First Emperor. Therefore, even after the fact of secession, he still did not dare to openly rebel.

"But it's not a way to drag it out like this, this time the Qin army went south and was defeated, but the 110,000 army stayed in the south. The next time if the Qin army goes south again, how should we deal with it? Besides, what should the 110,000 Qin troops do now? Is it really to maintain the establishment, and where should they be placed? Settled in Nanling? Yan Bi is very unwilling, the mood gap has been so big recently, and everyone feels unpleasant, it is actually related to Lu Zhe's acceptance of the edict of the First Emperor.

The Qin soldiers can't move? Lu Zhe wanted to move those Qin troops, he wanted to move very much, the combat power of the Qin army was strong, much stronger than the armies he had reorganized, how could such an army not want to be in his hands! Therefore, it is impossible for him not to disassemble and reorganize, but the time is not yet right.

"Speaking of the Qin army, Wang Benbiao's division has already captured Jinyang, and it is only a matter of time before the entire county of Taiyuan is captured. Xu Yan's headquarters is advancing to Dangjun again, although the winter is approaching is only to respond to Wang Ben to stabilize the Taiyuan war situation, but in the coming year, Zhao will still have to face the two-sided attack, Zhao will not be long after the restoration of the state, and the two countries of Qi and Yan, who have the ability to support, will not send a single soldier, and the Qin army will regain a foothold in the Central Plains It can be expected. Lu Zhe said plainly, but his brows were deeply furrowed.

Yan Bi said that he didn't want to care about the life or death of Zhao State, he wanted to get Lu Zhe's response and make it clear what attitude he would take towards Qin State in the future.

At this time, the armor priest in the distance informed that the girls were already waiting outside.

Lu Zhe waved his hand casually, and when he waited for the twenty or so maids to come over, he actually saw that it was Lu Pheasant in front of him.

"Lord, what if the Qin army goes south again?" Yan Bi didn't get an answer, and he was extremely uneasy in his heart, and asked again.

Lu Zhe glared at Yan Bi dissatisfiedly: "In the near future, how can the Qin army have the spare strength to go south again, haven't you seen that the Nanyang troops that controlled most of the troops before have been transferred, and Chen County, where the situation has not been eroded, has also become a place for Han and Wei to live because of the emptiness of troops?" ”

Yan Bi still didn't get an answer, and he seemed to be a little stubborn: "The job is to say, if the Qin army really goes south, what will the lord do?" ”

"If the lord does not send troops to attack Chu after accepting the reward, the Qin State will definitely divide its troops to the south again after gaining a firm foothold in the Central Plains. Now, ......" Kuai Tong glanced at Lu Pheasant, who was swaying his waist and getting closer and closer, and secretly looked at Lu Zhe with the corner of his eye, and found that Lu Zhe's gaze did not shift to the girl's side at all, and he dragged a long note before continuing: "Now it is most likely that an order will be sent to order the lord to send troops again, or to detour behind Zhao Guo from the direction of Jiujiang, or to order the destruction of Chu." ”

Yan Bi had already ignored the inappropriateness of his subordinates' behavior, and asked again: "What decision will the Lord make?" ”

With the rise of Weimo, Yan Bi's mind has not changed from the beginning, and the Lu Zhe he expects is not as simple as entrenching in a county or becoming the overlord of a party, but in the struggle, he will either conquer the world and become the lord of the world, or die together in the battle without a place to be buried.

Recently, Lu Zhe has made Yan Bi more and more incomprehensible and worried, first accepting the edict of the Qin State, but he can regard this as an expedient measure or something, but then he has accepted scribes of unknown origin one after another. If these scribes had the same thoughts as him, it would be okay to devote themselves to making Lu Zhe unswervingly ambitious to conquer the world, but first there was Kuaitong who said something "plan and then move, in order to observe the situation", and if it is ugly, it is not to do nothing! And Xiao He, who came at the latest, seemed to have become a gang with Kuaitong, and the two talked about people's livelihood at every turn, and they didn't think about continuous expansion outward at all.

Lu Zhe's temper is very gentle in many cases, but it doesn't mean that Yan Bi can be allowed to be so rude. He didn't do anything to slap the table, but stared at Yan Bi for a long time, seeing that Yan Bi could still sweat when he was blown by the cold wind, and finally he scolded his head and covered his face.

"Idiot! What an idiot! After scolding for a while, Lu Zhe looked impatiently at the maids who were kneeling on the ground trembling because of their anger, and waved his hand, "Brew tea, hurry up!" ”

It was the first time that Lu Pheasant had seen Lu Zhe get angry, and he was so angry at a henchman in the heart of a rumored center. What surprised her the most was that the person named Yan Bi was scolded for a while and smiled instead, she was a little dazed in her heart, and before she had time to think about anything, Lu Zhe had already urged over there, and quickly instructed the maid to boil the water, and the tea dish should be placed quickly.

"If you don't understand the situation, do your own thing, don't make jokes!" Lu Zhe saw that Yan Bi was scolded, but he smiled shyly and felt a little powerless.

"He knows." Yan Bi is not a slut and likes to be scolded and abused. Did he get the answer he wanted from being scolded just now, and then did he think that Lu Zhe was so scolded that he was not outside, scolded without punishment, or was he treated as a confidant, or he had never seen anyone other than himself treated like this? Well, it's really a slut to have such thoughts.

In other words, officialdom is varied, and it is really an honor for the subordinate to be treated like this by the leader?

Of course, Lu Zhe is not what Qin Guo says, and seriously speaking, it is not that he is afraid of the First Emperor as the four of them just thought, but he knows that the purlin that emerged first is rotten, and now leaning on the flag of Qin is a relatively safe one of all the development paths he has ever thought of, which is far better than the early announcement of the world's self-reliance.

Self-reliance means to be king, and to be king is to be evil. What is it about standing on one's own feet and not being king, and then facing the kings as a marquis? That's a head shorter in terms of momentum. There is also one of the most important reasons, not only does the Qin state need to be pacified, but the other countries will also strive for it instead of falling into a kind of competition so quickly. You must know that the intersection of countries and forces is completely different.

Yan Bi risked the disapproval to make Lu Zhe say something that he didn't need to say at all, he needed to remind that it was for Lu Zhe's good, so he smiled again and said: "Since the lord wants to marry the master's mother, will Lu Niang also accept it?" What do you mean? That is to express that he is a retainer of Lu Zhe's family, not as a subordinate of a bureaucrat.

Lu Zhe took it for granted, that is, Yan Bi was a retainer to always tolerate it.

Kuai Tong, Xiao He, and Mian Bi, who heard the words, showed a sudden expression, but in their hearts they felt that Yan Bi was really shameless.

Lu Pheasant over there was stunned...... (To be continued......)
