The system forced me to be emperor

As a prince, his majesty has to inspect his studies. Now that he is a prince, he has to pay more attention to government affairs. Xiao Rui feels that being a prince is not easy!

"Father, my son thinks that the main battlefield cannot be lost! If Zhao Guo sends 80 troops to resist Chang Sheng Hou, we must also give Chang Sheng Hou 70 troops! But among the remaining troops, the champion Hou guards the north and cannot be arbitrary. Even Marquis Pingbo could not mobilize his troops to defend the coast. Marquis Zhenyuan has 25 troops, and together with the state guards, he should be able to form 50 troops to counter Zhao's [-] troops going south! The difference is twice the number of troops, but Zhao Guo's intention is obvious, it wants to break through Yan Guo, and cooperate with Wei Guoli, not specifically targeting us!"

"So what I mean is that the main battlefield is attacked by Marquis Changsheng. It must be attacked. There must be an invincible momentum. The army pushes into Zhao's territory and also restrains the main force of Zhao's army. Xiangzhou adopts a defensive strategy, and then transforms Relying on the base camp, divide them into countless sub-units, cooperate with flexible and mobile guerrilla tactics, wear down Zhao Jun little by little, and eat them!"

Emperor Xia became interested and asked, "What is guerrilla tactics?"

Xiao Rui said proudly: "The sixteen-character formula of guerrilla tactics: When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we fight; The tactic is an exquisite art of war! If you can master it well, you will definitely make the enemy collapse and go crazy."

"Wonderful!" Zhang Jinfu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Your Majesty, although these sixteen words are concise and concise, if you savor them carefully, they really are the supreme art of war!"

Xiao Rui is quite proud!

This is the truth practiced by countless senior martyrs in previous lives. Back then, equipment that was countless times weaker than the opponent could forcefully win. Now it is used on Xia Jun. If you can't handle Zhao Jun, you are an idiot!

After savoring it carefully, Emperor Xia also wholeheartedly agreed.

"The emperor and I have the same thoughts. The main battlefield cannot be lost. The king of Chu was killed by the Zhao country. If my army does not attack, it will be self-defeating, and it is still humiliating the Great Xia country! Xiangzhou is handed over to Zhenyuanhou and Chen Qingzhi. , Han Xin, although the troops are a little less, I believe in their abilities!" Xia Huang said.

Xiao Rui nodded, not mentioning Marquis Zhenyuan for now, there are Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin, a Confucian general and a talented general, especially Han Xin, who is the commander in chief who leads troops to fight.

After Zhang Jinfu resigned, Emperor Xia suddenly mentioned gunpowder.

"Huang Er, order the workshop to speed up the production of gunpowder, the more the better." Xia Huang said.

Xiao Rui asked: "Father wants to use gunpowder to deal with Zhao Jun?"

Xia Huang shook his head and said with a smile: "Although gunpowder is powerful, it also has limitations and cannot be relied upon. But sometimes it can turn things around. I have never put Zhao Guo in my eyes, so naturally I don't bother to use gunpowder to deal with them."

Since the invention of gunpowder, Xiao Rui has been busy touring the state capital and vying for the position of crown prince. There are no skilled craftsmen around him, so he has always been looking forward to inventing artillery, but he has never put it on the agenda.

In addition, I didn't expect the national war to develop so quickly, and it would start after the Chinese New Year, and it would be on such a large scale.

In addition, even Xiao Rui didn't know anything about artillery, he only knew it was a cannon barrel, he hadn't studied it before, and he didn't have the ability to draw design drawings.As for relying on the system... forget it.

Therefore, as His Majesty said, although gunpowder is good, it is not time to abuse it. It must be reserved for critical moments and used wisely.

......

The next day, after Xiao Rui finished his morning court and continued to study government affairs in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Li Yuanfang returned to the palace.

Xiao Rui went out to meet him, Li Yuanfang apologized: "Your Highness, after my subordinate rushed to Xuanzhou, I met that Zifang Zhang. After my subordinate explained his intentions, that Zifang Zhang didn't want to come to Beijing. It was useless for my subordinate to say anything. In the end They all wanted to tie him up and bring him back, but for fear of spoiling His Highness's important affairs, they had to go back overnight."

Xiao Rui asked: "Everyone is arrogant, can he explain why he doesn't want to come to Beijing?"

Li Yuanfang said: "He said he lives in seclusion and doesn't want to get involved in trivial matters in the world unless..."

"Unless what?" Xiao Rui frowned, it seemed that the next unless was Zhang Liang's request.

Loyalty is guaranteed only if demands are met.

"Unless His Highness invites you in person!" Li Yuanfang told the truth.

After finishing speaking, Li Yuanfang also felt that this person was too much, He Dehe dared to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to invite him in person!

Chapter 426: Zhang Liang discusses the situation in the world!

Zhang Liang lived in seclusion, let the prince Xiao Rui invite him in person?

Li Yuanfang was very angry, and felt that this person was too much, even if he had talent, he couldn't be proud of his talent!It's not that there are no counselors around His Highness, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are both good people, so why is he still missing Zhang Liang?

Xiao Rui smiled.

In the previous life, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and asked Wolong to come out of the mountain. In this life, the prince Xiao Rui invited the sage Zhang Liang to enter the world!

Tsk tsk, it must be a good story that has been passed down through the ages.

Even... I don’t have much reputation to be an emperor in the future, relying on this good story to linger in the memory of future generations, so I want to go, why not go!

Immediately, Xiao Rui entered the palace to ask for an order.

"Father, my son wants to go to Xuanzhou!" Xiao Rui cut to the chase.

Emperor Xia was reviewing the memorial, when he heard Xiao Rui's request suddenly, he looked at him in surprise.

"You were assassinated by an assassin yesterday, and you are going to Xuanzhou today? Nonsense! Don't go!" Emperor Xia scolded, but he understood Xiao Rui, and continued to ask: "What are you doing in Xuanzhou?"

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Father grew up in Xuanzhou, which is tainted with dragon spirit. It is said that there are outstanding people. Yesterday, my minister Xiumu happened to meet Lu Su, the daughter of Uncle Mingyi. She recommended a talented person named Zhang Liang to my son. My son sent someone to Xuanzhou yesterday, but unfortunately, this person is too proud to go to Beijing. My son has a heart for talent, so I want to invite him personally!"

"You invited him to the capital, but he is not willing to come? Even if this person is talented, he is too arrogant! And there are many kinds of talents, what is this person like, you can't just hearsay!" After Xia Huang finished speaking, he looked at Yan at the side. Xiao Xiao asked, "You are from Xuanzhou, have you ever heard of this person's reputation?"

Yan Xiaoxiao said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have heard of this man's name, and he is almost a household name in Xuanzhou. It is said that he was instructed by an immortal and learned the art of war. They all say that he is extremely smart, proficient in strategy, and has the ability to overcome Intangible, the ability to win thousands of miles. But because he was born in a poor family, although he is proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, he has not been able to go to high school for a long time, so he is vaguely in the mountains."

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "It's not polite for a crown prince to condescend to invite him. If this person is really talented, it would be a good thing. Heroes come out of troubled times. Now that the national war is starting, many buried talents will be revealed. , The news that you went to Xuanzhou in person will definitely arouse reactions and inspire talented people."

Xiao Rui didn't expect this, but after thinking about it now, he found that this is a great opportunity, so he hurriedly said: "Father, my son has an idea!"

"Say!" Emperor Xia said.

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Your minister's Zhan Shifu is short of people, why not set up a recruiting center to recruit talented people and strangers from all over the world! In the past few days, let the "Da Xia Daily" publicize first to form a heated discussion, and wait for my minister to invite Zhang. Liang came back and was promoted by "Da Xia Daily". After this incident, the recruitment hall will be famous all over the world... Although the imperial court has an imperial examination system to select talents, after all, there are still many capable people who are not good at the four books and five classics, so they can only bury the years In the midst of it, I wasted my whole life. The big summer that my son yearns for, people can do their best and everything can be used to the best of their ability!"

"People make the best use of their abilities, and things make the best use of them..." Emperor Xia couldn't help repeating, he didn't know the limitations and constraints of the imperial examination system, but even he didn't dare to tamper with the imperial examination system.After all, the ancestors finally overthrew the examination and examination system, took the right to select talents from the hands of aristocratic families and powerful families, and then overthrew the imperial examination system, wouldn’t it be self-defeating?

Even if Emperor Xia had a superior IQ, he couldn't think of a selection method that could replace the imperial examination!

Emperor Xia said with emotion: "If this is the case, then Great Xia will surely be more prosperous! My son, I will encourage you!"

"Also, the idea of ​​the recruiting hall is good, I agree." Emperor Xia laughed.

Xiao Rui clasped his fists quickly and said: "Thank you, Father Emperor, I'm going to prepare now, and I'm going to Xuanzhou now!"

Emperor Xia stared and said, "When did I grant you permission to go to Xuanzhou?"

"Father was right just now! Eunuch Hai heard it too!" Xiao Rui hurriedly pointed at Hai Dafu.

Hai Dafu had a sad expression on his face, he didn't dare to speak now, and if he spoke, he would be punished with salary, his coffin book.

Emperor Xia snorted, "Don't make it difficult for Hai Buan... Since you want to go, it's not impossible. But you can't go openly, the assassins in the dark are watching, so you can only go quietly."

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, my son understands! My son has enough experts, and no one will notice if he disguises himself."

Emperor Xia nodded his head, and this was his approval.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui left the palace, asked Li Yuanfang, Dianwei, Yang Youji, and Wu Zhanfa to prepare, and brought ten elite iron dragon riders. After more than ten people were ready, they left the city in batches, gathered outside the city, and then went to Xuanzhou .

In the evening, I came to Jiangcheng Mansion for a rest, and continued on my way the next morning, and arrived at Xuanzhou Mansion before noon.

The group did not enter the city, but went directly to Qingyan Mountain, where Zhang Liang lived.
