Chapter 356: Final Conclusion (I)

After considering many things, Lu Zhe's next thing to deal with was to meet with the envoys of various countries who came to Nanling City.

In fact, seriously speaking, Lu Zhe didn't really want to deal with the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, after all, the three kingdoms all wanted to get assistance, and they couldn't get any substantial benefits from the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, at most they could earn prestige.

Prestige is important to be able to increase visibility and gain moral support in many ways. Generally speaking, if Lu Zhe gains the gratitude of Zhao Wei and Han, then Zhao Wei Han will be consistent with Lu Zhe in public opinion for a period of time in the future.

Does Lu Zhe need to gain prestige? Kuaitong, Yan Pi and other Wenchen believe that it is very necessary, morality is a kind of thing that cannot be touched and seen, but in many cases, morality cannot be missing.

According to their explanation, morality is the will of the people, and the will of the people is the foundation, although the hearts of the people from the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han do not see any benefit now, but what about the future?

"This deal looks like a loss now, but in the future, we will get unexpected benefits when we enter the Central Plains." Yan Bi said.

Kuaitong talked freely from the layout of the world, and he believed that it was in his own interests to support Wei Han.

Han Wei, who is not strong, has a little incense in the nations, and the countries will not make Wei and Han strong, but they will not destroy Wei and Han regardless of the incense. With their support behind them, it will not be difficult for Han Wei to gain a foothold in Chen County and Surabaya County. And they now need to have a buffer zone in the north, and supporting Wei Han only needs to pay a small price to ensure that the north is worry-free for a considerable period of time, which is very cost-effective.

"According to the practice of Wu Rui, we can support and infiltrate at the same time, and also prepare us in advance for our future entry into the Central Plains." Kuaitong is not open which pot to mention, Lu Zhe's infiltration of Wu Rui is successful, yes, but the arrangement of one qiΔ“ has not played a role at all.

"Well, that's right, we give the resources accordingly. In the court of Wei and Han, there should be a number of ministers. Yan Bi immediately agreed.

During the Warring States Period, there were too many cases of other countries placing ministers in a certain country, and it was also a common practice for a strong country to take a few ministers for a weak country.

Lu Zhe also gradually figured out the current rules, so he didn't think it was strange to hear the two of them say that they would choose someone to be sent to the Wei Han court as an official.

"In fact, Wei and South Korea can only repay us like this. If we don't mention it, they will also propose it themselves, after all, there are people we send in the courts of the two countries, and they can also use the people who are sent to deter others. "Kuaitong thought very thoroughly.

To put it bluntly, the fox is a fake tiger. At that time, Wei and Han encountered excessive demands from other forces, and Wei Han's own ministers stood up and had insufficient deterrence, and the people sent by Lu Zhe stood up and refused, and the person who made the request had to consider what reaction Lu Zhe's side would have.

"For Zhao State, they do not lack manpower and financial resources, and they lack food. Zhao now needs a large amount of grain for military use, and we propose to exchange food for population, and Zhao will inevitably agree. Kuaitong has already discussed this matter with Lu Zhe several times.

There was a shortage of people under LΓΌ Zhe's rule, but Zhao was located in the densely populated Central Plains, but it was overpopulated. What he hesitated was that the food was not lucky, and the migration of the population was not so simple.

In this era, it is common for old people to die and not leave their hometowns, and it takes hundreds of miles to travel from Zhao Di to Lu Zhe. Where to go from is still a difficult question.

Dangjun is now the Qin-Zhao war zone, and this road is destined to be impassable. Then if you want to go south from Zhaodi, you can only detour to Xue County, then take Surabaya County, and then enter Jiujiang County.

Xue County is now the territory of the Qi State. Lu Zhe and Qi Guo have no friendship at all, will Qi Guo let the population go south?

Before solving the difficulty of how to move the population, Lu Zhe thought that it was too early to say anything about food for population.

"Lord. Aren't you regrouping the army? The reorganized army should always need to be trained, and when the time comes, the direction of the army's training will be set in the north, so that it can not only transport grain to the north, but also bring the population back. It's just a passing thing. Kuaitong said it easily and freely, but Lu Zhe raised his eyebrows when he heard it.

As soon as Yan Bi heard the music, he was a firm northbound faction, and he was not happy with Lu Zhe's established policy of attacking Lingnan first, so he immediately accosted: "Yes, yes, the same is to train the army, and when the time comes, go north and kill two birds with one stone." ”

A good one, a good one, killing two birds with one stone, Lu Zhehu looked at the two suspiciously: "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

If the army goes north, it will affect the situation, and the first person to react will be the Qin State, will there be another big war at that time?

"Since you want to help, just help more. If we send our troops north, the offensive of the Qin army will inevitably slow down, giving Zhao more respite. "Kuaitong said firmly.

Lu Zhe's eyes changed completely, and he stared sharply at Kuaitong.

It was in their interest to help Zhao Guo, but Zhao Guo did not have the weight to plunge them into the war before they had enough rest and recuperation. It is not a joke for the army to go north, once Lu Zhe's army goes north, it is unknown whether the Qin army will slow down the pace of attacking Zhao, but the matter of the Qin army going south again will definitely happen.

Why did Lu Zhe set the strategy of first the south and then the north, in order to solve the dilemma of not leaving hidden dangers in the south first and avoiding the dilemma of two-front warfare, Kuaitong clearly knew that Lu Zhe wanted to avoid these by first going south and then north, and even proposed that the army should go north, what did he want to do!?

"Lord, there is a question." Being stared at with sharp eyes, Kuai Tong said in his heart that it was impossible to have no pressure, but since he would have such a mention, he must have corresponding considerations: "We don't want to fall into a state of war with the Qin State too soon, so is the Qin State willing to go to war with us at this time?" ”

Yan Bi interjected in a low voice: "Qin Guo definitely doesn't want to fight with us at this time, otherwise what will the official do." ”

Lu Zhe didn't speak, and his eyes were still sharp.

"What he said was right and wrong." Kuai Tong smiled apologetically at Yan Bi as he spoke, and then continued: "It's not that Qin Guo doesn't want to fight with us now, but that he can't fight with us. Just imagine, if the Qin State had the ability to exterminate us, how could it be possible to let it go? Therefore, once the incident of our army going north, Tong is seventy percent sure that the Qin State will not only not send troops south, but will try its best to appease it. ”

Lu Zhe fell into deep thought, he felt that what Kuaitong said was really very possible, so he still looked at Kuaitong, but his eyes were no longer sharp.

"Now it should be that the Qin State is afraid of us, not that we are afraid of the Qin State. What does the Lord think? Kuaitong asked with a smile.

At this time, Lu Zhe had to admit that Kuaitong was reasonable, but according to this assumption, it was too arbitrary to think that sending troops north to the Qin State would only appease and not take military measures.

"It seems that it has been almost two months since Luo Shao invaded Ba County, and the Qin State has not yet received any reprimands." Yan Bi said lightly.

"That's right. We have been attacking Ba County for two months, and we have taken two counties of Ba County. Didn't the Qin Congress receive the news that Tong County and Qu Ren County had been captured by us? They received it, but no reprimands came. From here, we can see how much tolerance the Qin State will have for us before the Central Plains is resolved. The current forbearance is not that we are so strong that the Qin State cannot resist, but that the Qin State is already fighting on multiple fronts, and we really can't increase our offensive along the way. The more Kuai Tong interceded, the more excited he became: "We are going to fight with the Qin State sooner or later, and it is understandable that the Lord has set a strategy of first the south and then the north, but as soon as there is an opportunity to slow down the Qin army and delay the Qin army, we should also do it." Not only do we have to do it, but we must do it to the greatest extent, not only to help us gain time to recuperate and sweep the south, but also to do our best to weaken the Qin State! ”

"I love to hear these words!" Yan Bi was so happy in his heart, he was just about to speak, but he saw Lu Zhe raise his hand and signal to be quiet.

In any era, it is inevitable that the countryside will be difficult to leave, and how to plan the population of the south is a headache for Zhao Guo, so Lu Zhe doesn't care about how Zhao Guoguo, the population of the transaction, will deal with it. He also knew that what Kuaitong said was right, not only were they avoiding a premature war with the Qin State, but the Qin State did not want them to attack Qin at this time.

Now to help Zhao Guo to the greatest extent, they are really helping themselves.

If they try to weaken the Qin State now, they will encounter a less threat to the Qin State in the future.

Lu Zhe understands these truths, but understanding and how to choose are two different things.

In some ways, Lu Zhe was not too happy to add to the Qin State when the Xiongnu were about to go south, but emotions are emotions, and actual interests are interests.

"Seventy percent sure?" Lu Zhe finally spoke.

"Yes!" What Kuaitong should have said has been said, and there is no need to go into a long story.

"Where are Sima Xin and the other Qin generals going now?" Lu Zhe looked at Yan Bi.

Yan Bi immediately replied: "Those Qin generals have already arrived at Shaxian (near modern Liangzi Lake) on the border with Lujiang County, and they will arrive in Nanling tomorrow." ”

Lu Zhe nodded. The military order he issued was for the Qin generals to return to Nanling, and the army to stay in Lujiang County.

In addition to the Qin troops led by Sima Xin who remained in Lujiang County, the Qin troops that Lu Zhe originally brought back from Huizhang County were also moving to Cangwu County. The original 110,000 Qin troops are now only a little more than 100,000 left, and it is impossible for Lu Zhe to stay in Nanjun with these troops, so whether they stay in Lujiang County or transfer to Cangwu County, the troops on both roads will have the same mission in the future, which is to make corrections and wait for the order to launch a battle of liberation against Changsha County.

Kuaitong had already shown a happy smile, and Lu Zhe would turn the topic to the Qin family under his command, which was really considering sending troops north.

Yan Bi is obviously aware of this, he didn't treat Kuaitong very much before, but now his eyes have become unusually friendly.

"I have already ordered my uncle and grandson to write the etiquette law," Lu Zhe took a deep breath: "Next, first arrange the formal functions for the monarchs, the promotion of those who should be promoted, and the rewards that should be rewarded." ”

Kuaitong and Yan Bi glanced at each other, and the two of them bowed to Lu Zhe at the same time. (To be continued......)
