Chapter 395: Cutting Relations (II)
The system determines victory or defeat, but sometimes the superiority of the system civilization is not so absolute, so there are things that have happened that the Central Plains civilization has repeatedly collapsed and succumbed to barbarism.
Of course, when there is a system, it is always better than no system, and a good system and a backward system are more often not about civilization, but a kind of "tool" to tap the potential in the hands to the maximum.
Baiyue is a tribal form of group society, this civilization has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, it is full of barbarism and backwardness, and at the same time it is destined not to be monolithic, Lu Zhe has not taken Baiyue people as the biggest opponent to be honest.
Cause? Southern Xinjiang is not a place where kings come out, whether it is Baiyue or many ethnic groups evolved by Baiyue, it has always been only a small disease of scabies for the Central Plains regime, on the contrary, if the Central Plains turns its attention to the south, it will always be able to sweep away the remnants of the clouds and lay a large territory in the south.
The case of Zhu Yuanzhang's expedition to the south and the north? Please, is Zhu Baba going south to the north? At that time, the Mongolian Yuan Kingdom got rid of itself, who was Zhu Baba fighting for? It is with Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Wang Baobao, Fang Guozhen, and these people are Zhu Baba is located in the north, and those brothers are the forces in the south.
LΓΌ Zhe's location is the south for the territory of Great Qin, including the other countries, but it is necessary to put Guiyue, Ouyue, Minyue, and Nanyue...... Anyway, I don't know how many Baiyue people there are, he compares with these people, hey, he seems to have become a northerner.
A bit off topic? No, there is absolutely no digression, just a statement of Lu Zhe's recent confusion, he is thinking about how to meddle in the Central Plains after solving the Baiyue people, and how to achieve a foothold in the Central Plains with the southern forces.
Don't talk about nonsense like the South Ship and the North Horse, people are trained, and there is no grotesque statement that people in any region are more suitable for doing things, the difference is whether they pay attention to it or not.
"Lord, the general will step aside?" Sima Xin saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he immediately asked for instructions. He'll have to go back and think about it. Trying to lead the army for the first time under Lu Zhe and do things well.
"Huh? Oh... Let's go down. Lu Zhe spoke, and saw that the rest of the people were also going to retire, "Mr. Kuai, Mr. Xiao, Yan Bi stays." "He's got some things they need help with.
It seems that the matter of Changsha County has been discussed, Kuaitong doesn't think there is anything important, he is still waiting to go home and drink and play chess with people, and he can't help touching his forehead when he hears it.
Xiao He didn't want to leave, he still had some affairs to report, and individual matters were waiting for Lu Zhe's seal to be issued. He also retired because he wanted to go back and get the official documents.
"Lord, seeing that you are thoughtful, are you still worried about how to lure and annihilate the main force of Baiyue?" Yan Bi speaks much more casually, this is the advantage of being a retainer.
"Why am I worried about Baiyue, I can't lure and annihilate it, but it's just a slow war, and Baiyue is a matter of fighting quickly and dragging it slowly. I'm thinking, although it is a decision to start with the south and then the north, but we can't completely ignore the Central Plains, should we take a few steps first? "Since Lu Zhe handed it over to Sima Xin. The big strategy has also been deployed, how to fight that is Sima Xin's business, if there is no big mess in Baiyue's war, there is no need for him to intervene.
"Huh!?"
Kuaitong was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, his face was full of light: "The Lord is wise, Baiyue is indeed a disease of scabies, which is a threat to us and there is no danger of exhaustion, but if the Central Plains is careless." We will be locked up, trapped, and destroyed. β
Didn't Lu Zhe feel a sense of crisis, and it didn't seem to be a particularly dangerous crisis from the Central Plains? What he was thinking about was how to prepare for the march into the Central Plains, and the horses were being purchased. The cavalry also began to train, but the conquest of the Central Plains was not only a military preparation, but also a so-called war relationship, that is, to make a few friends before there was no place to stand.
"What is locked, trapped, destroyed?" Lu Zhe wanted to hear what Kuaitong was going to say.
Alarmist? Kuaitong shouldn't do such a thing, although he is not like a full-time strategist, he is not good at political and military strategy, there is a little bit of a panacea, but thinking about grand strategy is still a particularly unique view.
"The so-called locked, the Xiang family, the Tian family, and even Daqin are already doing it. They propagated different things, Xiang said that we were the pawns of the tyrannical Qin in the south, who came to bring trouble to the south and wanted to provoke the hatred of the nations against us; After our defeat of Chu, the Tian clan regarded us as their greatest rival to take Huainan, and they have been preaching our danger among the nations; Great Qin made you a marquis, and informed the countries that you were the general of the Southern Frontier Army, and he was also pulling hatred on the leader. β
"Trapped, the road to the north is empty and empty, but Zhao Zhidang County has become a battlefield between the Zhao army and the Qin army, and there are Qi troops on the Surabaya side. For Qin, the lord can fight a small war but not a big war, and he can fight a big war but not tear his face. Looking around, except for the Qin State, which was about to leave, and Wei Han, who had no strength to help each other and could turn his face at any time, the Lord did not send envoys to each other with other countries. β
Kuaitong felt that he didn't need to explain that he was destroyed, that was something that could be known without explanation, not a royal family and had such a big foundation, after being locked and trapped, Lu Zhe couldn't do it if he wanted to be in a corner of peace, as long as the overlord appeared in the Central Plains, he would definitely meet Lu Zhe.
"Bad talk, right? Being locked is nothing more than public opinion, as long as the Lord has the spare strength to march into the north, can empty rhetoric really lock us up? As for the marquis, does the lord need Emperor Qin to correct the name of the marquis? A piece of paper does not mean that the lord is really a minister of the Qin State. Yan Bi was a little disapproving: "To aid Wei Han, it's not that we need to curry favor with Wei Han, but to support Wei Han to create a buffer zone, as long as the time comes, send a large army ......."
"Chief Officer, can we not know how to pretend to understand?" Kuaitong is not scared of Yan Bi at all, and he will not show mercy at all when he should spray: "Speech is the heart of the people, if the heart has no sense of closeness, is there a foundation?" Can you stand firm on your feet without a foundation? β
Yan Bi's face turned red instantly, which was both annoyed and didn't know how to refute.
"Public opinion, people are preconceived, and the Lord has also said that 'a lie told a thousand times is the truth', if the head of the Central Plains really regards us as the so-called nouveau riche, and sees us as a group of people who only seek profit and have no shame, and are a group of people who are not enough to trust, even if we are at the peak of our military strength, then it is also rootless, right?"
Yan Bi really wanted to answer that as long as the current people of the five counties were in hand, the hearts of the people in the Central Plains could be relieved, but this kind of obviously bastard language could not be spoken.
"The Lord wants to lay out the layout in the Central Plains, and I think this is a long-term vision." Kuaitong actually felt that the Baiyue people were not a big deal, and even if an army could not solve the Baiyue for a while, it would be a matter of time before they took Changsha County and then seized Lingnan.
To tell the truth, Kuaitong believes that Lu Zhe has a great chance of success in luring and destroying the main force of Baiyue in Changsha County, even if he does not succeed in luring and destroying, in exchange for taking steady progress, it will not drag the military power too much, and the consumption of national strength will not affect the northward advance.
"In the south, if you want to go north, you must first take the south. Didn't the Lord say anything else? Cangwu County has become a major agricultural and mining county for us to conquer the world in the future, waiting for thousands of miles of fertile fields in Qianzhong to become farmland, Wuling mining into weapons, money, with enough accumulation, as soon as the army is sent to the Central Plains to stand firm script is not a difficult thing. "Yan Bi is completely oppressive with words.
Xiao He over there nodded, Cangwu County is indeed a treasure land, as long as it is properly developed, it will definitely become the capital of the king. Now the development of Cangwu County is a relatively crude method, cut down the timber and burn the wilderness, and then use forks and plows with horses to plow the fields, before the spring of the next year, thousands of miles of fertile fields dare not say, but 100,000 acres of land can definitely be developed. As for the mining industry, this is not so fast, but he thinks that the specialties in Cangwu County, such as tung oil, rape flowers, etc., are very good.
"Pause! What are you guys doing here? Lu Zhe felt that his words must not have been made clear, otherwise how could such a simple thing as first the south and then the north be pulled out so much: "The decision to first go south and then north remains the same, and it is even more right to cut down the south and look at the Central Plains." I'm thinking, while fighting the south, should we make advance preparations for how to advance to the Central Plains in the future, what are you arguing about in the north and south, and you haven't said anything practical after arguing for a long time. β
"Lord, just say this...... Ling Tong was puzzled. Kuaitong originally wanted to say that he was cold, but he was not so strict, and he could also hear that Lu Zhe was not blaming, but a person, sometimes it would be a headache to think too much and be noisy. He looked at Lu Zhe very seriously, and said: "Pay attention to public opinion, fight a war of public opinion, these are all mentioned by the lord, our troops are not mobilized to fight a war of words with the enemy, it is beneficial to us and harmless, it is better than public opinion being controlled, wait until we really go north to Qianshou and fear us, okay?" β
"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Zhe actually wanted to say that they have been talking about diplomatic relations recently, and the diplomatic relations on Baiyue's side are just a little formal, and the Central Plains is the home of playing diplomatic relations.
"Perfunctory, Lord." Kuaitong didn't deliberately be unforgiving, and he didn't be so dizzy about the king, who was good at the art of change, he just wanted to remind his master that many times his footsteps could not be stopped, even if his footsteps stopped, he could not stop, so he replied: "Wei Han is our bridge to communicate with the nations, and funding them is not only for the buffer zone, but also to intersect with the nations through their hands." Therefore if the Lord can speak such a thing, the Lord should not mention it. β
It's endless, huh? Why did Yan Bi suddenly feel that Kuaitong, a new drunkard, was getting more and more annoying.
"Chief, Tong is not aimed at you, but if you want to conquer the world, we should cherish words like gold, even if we have such thoughts, we must show mercy and kindness on the surface, and use disguise to try not to wake up others, so that they will not develop unnecessary hostility towards us." Kuaitong just dares to say it, and it must be said.
"......" Yan Bi snorted for a long time, and finally saluted respectfully to Kuaitong: "Be taught." (To be continued......)
