I was a gentleman in ancient times

"Xie Zhuo, what's the situation in Yue Country now?" Qin Zhan asked aloud.snort!Going out in pairs all the time, will you not take him as a king in your eyes?Qin Zhan even wondered if these two people came to obstruct his eyes on purpose?I'm still a loner, and I can't see the size of my true feelings.

Xie Zhuo withdrew his gaze from Tao Jin, and said proudly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is under our control. It won't be long before good news comes."

Wei Su answered, "From what you've said, it's already done?" He counted the time, and it should be about the same.

Xie Zhuo nodded, "It's not too far off. The spies I selected have already laid their threads. They have thoroughly understood the temperament of the officials of the Yue Kingdom. They only need to order, and they can deploy according to the weaknesses of these people. It's not going to attract attention at all."

"Sir, now that they have entered the court of the Yue Kingdom, they have teamed up with Prince Qi to implement the plan. I am afraid that the royal family of Yue will change. But then again, a lot of property was spent this time. Officials of the Yue Kingdom are really greedy guys."

Wei Su and Qin Zhan looked at each other, this result was already the best in their plan.It would be great to be able to exchange for two cities without using weapons and only losing a little property.

Xie Zhuo glanced at Qin Zhan before saying again: "Sir, Suicheng and Yecheng will be taken down soon, what should we do next? It's just, sir..."

Wei Su couldn't help laughing when he saw that he hesitated to speak, "You can say whatever you want, I don't have so many rules here."

Xie Zhuo just smiled, "Students are thinking, since the royal family of Yue is going to be in chaos. The treacherous ministers are in power, and the dragons have no leader, why don't we take this opportunity to take down the Yue Kingdom in one fell swoop?"

The benefit of a country is better than two cities. They have spent so much effort, can't they just wait for this day?If they take down Yue State in one fell swoop, the population power of their Qin State territory will increase greatly.However, according to Wei Su's plan, he didn't seem to have a plan to merge Yue State into Qin State, so he asked this question.

Wei Su shook his head when he heard the words, "It's not that we won't take the Yue Kingdom, it's that the time hasn't come yet."

"The time hasn't come yet?" Tao Jin was puzzled, such a good opportunity was missed, can he wait for another opportunity in the future?

Obviously Xie Zhuo also had the same doubts. Wei Su explained with a smile: "Although we can easily take down the Yue Kingdom now, what's the use of taking it down now? Not only do we need to clean up the mess left by the King of Yue, but also Arouse the vigilance of other vassal states."

Seeing that the two still couldn't figure it out, he continued: "The State of Yue and the State of Qin have always had good relations, but the State of Qin suddenly tore up its face and annexed it. I'm afraid that everyone in the world will spurn the State of Qin. That's why I found an excuse to take it down. The reason for Suicheng and Yecheng. There must always be a plausible reason to let the world see that Qin is not a barbaric and unreasonable person."

Wei Su once remembered that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu conquered Sui State, and the king of Sui State said: I am innocent, why did you attack me?And Chu said: I am a barbarian.Note ① Barbarians, of course, can be unreasonable, and using oneself as a barbarian as a reason for sending troops is considered a must.

Of course, Wei Su couldn't do such a rogue thing now, because he still wants to build a good reputation so that people in the world can trust Qin, and in the future, he will attract more people with lofty ideals to come to Qin to work for Qin.

"Actually, the current state of Yue is almost the same whether we annex it or not. Now that our people are involved and can influence the situation, it is impossible for them to be enemies with us. It is only a small amount of money that can make the country They listen to us, they can be regarded as a vassal country, what's wrong? But we want to take Yue, but we can do it at any time."

Xie Zhuo and Tao Jin understood Wei Su's meaning, and nodded slightly. The Yue Kingdom is only temporarily released. As long as they want to annex it, it will be a matter of time?

"So, Xie Zhuo, you have to be careful. Our people must be able to influence the current situation in Yue. If there is any disturbance in Yue, we must immediately understand the situation and solve the problem." Wei Su urged Xie Zhuo repeatedly.

No matter how much the Yue State struggles, it is impossible to cross the Qin State. Wei Su can rest assured that it will be kept temporarily if it is obedient, or it will be wiped out if it is not obedient.

Xie Zhuo responded: "Don't worry sir, I will pay attention."

Xie Zhuo is handy with these things, as long as he is reminded, he also knows the importance.

Wei Su's decision was right, and Tao Jin knew it in his heart.But I still feel a little pity, "Then the soldiers and horses we sent to Suicheng and Yecheng are useless, and they can only return without success."

Once the soldiers and horses move, countless food, grass and military equipment are consumed. Now that Suicheng and Yecheng have been settled peacefully, there is no need for these soldiers and horses at all.

"How can it be useless?" Wei Su asked with a smile, "Do you know why I must take Suicheng and Yecheng?"

Wei Su's purpose is well known, and Tao Jin is no exception.Immediately said without thinking: "Sir, isn't it just for the large copper mine in Suicheng? If we get Suicheng, this mine will naturally belong to us."

However, Xie Zhuo fell into deep thought. If the husband wants copper mines, he only needs Suicheng.But Mr. asked for an extra Yecheng, and there is nothing in Yecheng. Why did Mr. choose it instead of other places?

Every thing Mr. does is calculated, and it is impossible to do useless work.So what exactly is Yecheng used for?

Wei Su didn't answer in a hurry, he glanced at Qin Zhan and drank tea slowly.Qin Zhan was helpless, it seemed that Wei Su wanted him to solve their confusion.

He cleared his throat, "Suicheng is a battleground. You all know that because of the large copper mine in Suicheng, Qin's army will be strong with it. Yecheng seems useless, but it is actually the land of Shu." The land of the throat that goes out. The land of the throat is pinched in the hands of others, and it is naturally like a stick in the throat, so it is necessary for Yecheng to belong to Qin this time."

Xie Zhuo had already memorized the maps of Shu and its surroundings by heart.Listening to what Qin Zhan said at this time, combined with the map, Yecheng is nothing special, but it is a place where three rivers meet.

As soon as Mr. Wei came to Shu, he handed over the ship workshop to Tao Jin, paying equal attention to the ship workshop and the armament workshop.Although Shu has high mountains and dangerous roads, the waterways extend in all directions. No wonder Mr. Wei pays attention to this area.

And the three rivers in Yecheng converge, and the waterways of Shu must pass through this place if they want to go out. No wonder, no wonder!

"I understand." Xie Zhuo figured this out, "In this way, sir, sending a large army to Suicheng and Yecheng is not just a threat to Yue Kingdom?" Mr. Gu probably had expected the situation of Yue Kingdom today, Obviously there is no need for these soldiers and horses, but they still mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses, and even sent General Zhongli out. Is there some other purpose?

Tao Jin looked at him, and he also wanted to understand the throat of the waterway in Yecheng, but why did Xie Zhuo say that sending troops was not just a threat?Is it possible that Mr. Cheng still needs to use these soldiers and horses to do something?

After hearing what he said, Wei Su gave him a look of approval, "Can you tell me about my next plan?"

His plan was only discussed with Qin Zhan, and no one else mentioned it at all.Xie Zhuo frowned and thought hard for a while, unable to understand what Wei Su wanted.

In the end, he could only give up and shook his head and said: "How can the students guess the unpredictable methods of the master, please explain it clearly."

Wei Su laughed loudly, "How can there be any unpredictable means? I just have a little more perspective than ordinary people." Wei Su said a few words modestly.

Xie Zhuo's words also entered into Qin Zhan's heart, and Qin Zhan was proud of himself, no matter what Wei Su was, he always liked him.Only then did he explain to Xie Zhuo and the others: "The soldiers of Suicheng and Yecheng are planning to attack Huancheng of Zou Kingdom along the waterway after Suicheng and Yecheng are in their hands."

"Zou Guo?!" Tao Jin exclaimed in surprise.

Xie Zhuo had been mentally prepared for a long time, and he would not make any fuss about Wei Su's decision, even if the husband wanted to attack Bei.So when Qin Zhan mentioned Zou Guo, he just froze for a moment before he figured out what Wei Su was thinking.

The State of Zou and the State of Qin are adjacent to each other, and they have always bullied the State of Qin because of the strength of the State of Zou.The state of Qin can't help it. The king is weak and the country is small, so how can he dare to fight against it?I can only swallow my anger, and there are countless compensations and surrenders.

Now that Mr. Wei is going to attack Zou, does that mean he doesn't intend to endure it any longer?

Tao Jin over there has already asked aloud: "Sir, Zou State is already considered a moderately powerful country among the vassal states. If our Qin State rashly sends troops, can we win?"

If a weak country is against a strong country, isn't that hitting a rock with an egg?

If the Qin State is defeated, the current prosperous situation will probably be broken one day, and it will be even more difficult for the Qin State to develop.

Tao Jin was a little anxious and wanted to persuade Wei Su to think twice before acting.It can be a few years later, not just two or three years, he will not be afraid, because by then, he will deliver more weapons.And Qin's army can also be stronger. At that time, if you send troops to Zou, you will be more confident.

Of course Wei Su understood Tao Jin's worry, but he was not worried.Although Qin is still weak, it needs a victory even more now.

"Sir, do you want to catch people by surprise?" Xie Zhuo said.

"Even so, don't do it rashly. The gap between Zou and Qin is not even a star." Tao Jin objected.

Wei Su smiled and said, "Ah Jin, you don't understand, it's a good time for Zou Guo to send troops now." He didn't go around any more, "Since Zou Guo was last year, the country has been suffering from constant drought, and now there is locust plague. He There are natural disasters inside, but they never stopped suppressing and provoking Qin. Just when we came to Shu, Zou launched a war in the east. This time, their purpose is not to make small troubles. I It is estimated that they want to get compensation from Qin State because of the domestic disaster."

Qin Zhan then said: "That's right, Zou Guo's army is currently suppressing the border, I have discussed with my husband, and the only way to stop the war is with war."

"End war with war?" Xie Zhuo had already realized something, "So, I seem to understand what Mr. means. I also understand why Mr. planned to seek Suicheng and Yecheng first."

Tao Jin looked at him, and he lived up to expectations, and continued: "Sir, after preparing the army to go around the waterway in Yecheng, he said that Zou State was defenseless and sent troops to Huancheng. Sir, am I right?"

Wei Su nodded. Xie Zhuo had a keen mind and a strong ability to adapt. If he cultivated well, his future would be limitless.

"That's right, Zou's army is now focusing on the east of Qin. It would never have occurred to Qin to send troops from Shu. Attack Huan City to the south of them. Our army can break through Huan City and go northward to break the city. We can directly attack Zou. The capital of the king. At that time, Zou Guo will have to mobilize troops to defend, and as long as he mobilizes troops, the pressure on Qin's eastern border will drop sharply. At that time, we will send troops to the eastern border and attack from both sides, what will happen to Zou Guoguo?"

"This..." Tao Jin has nothing to say, Mr. and the others have already made a plan, and the plan has no flaws at all. What can he say other than admiration?

However, Xie Zhuo thought more far-reaching. If the master's plan is used correctly, as long as the soldiers work hard, it is not impossible to take down the country of Zou.Moreover, Zou State sent troops to attack Qin State first, and Qin State just counterattacked. In this battle, Zou State was destroyed, and no one else could say anything.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhuo murmured: "Since fighting on both sides must test the general's adaptability, so Mr. has already planned?"

"General Zhongli led troops out of Shu, and General Zhongli was victorious in every battle. I am very relieved of his team. As for the East Road..." Wei Su looked at Qin Zhan with a half-smile.

"The widows from the East Road will personally lead the army to attack. We must bring Zou State into the territory of Qin State." Qin Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly. This is the first battle of Qin State. If you want to lead the army to the world, then this battle must be won!

Tao Jin's blood boiled with enthusiasm. Since the husband had already planned to cover everything, there was no need for him to worry.However, since Qin is going to fight, logistical and military support is essential.

He stood up and said excitedly: "Students will go back now, let the workshop run day and night, and make weapons in shifts."

Xie Zhuo also bid farewell and left, "I'll go down and sort out Zou Guo's intelligence report."

Once the expedition is launched, armaments and information are naturally indispensable, and these should be prepared as soon as possible.

When the two left, Qin Zhan looked at Wei Su with reluctance in his eyes, "Sir, you see, I'm also in Sichuan and I'm going to the east soon, and I don't know when this battle will be fought." Finish. Sir, are you really so cruel? Are you really going to drive me away?"

With a blank expression on his face, Wei Su lightly stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, "Do you really want to stay?"

Qin Zhan kept nodding his head, God was pitiful, Mr. finally let go, he stayed today, he must fulfill his wish.

Forehead!Don't think about it, he just wants to relive the days when he talked with his husband at night by candlelight and went to sleep. It has been a long time since they have spoken intimately.

Wei Su looked at him for a long time, felt guilty for a while, and then slowly nodded, "Since the king wants to stay, then he should stay. I'll let someone clean up the guest room, and ask the king not to leave." You must despise the humble dwelling.”

"Ah?" Qin Zhan looked at the back of Wei Su leaving, and couldn't help roaring in his heart.Sir, I really don't need to tidy up the guest room, I can just spend the night in the master room.

Zhao Li didn't even notice Qin Zhan's loss of soul, and he could only comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the time is still long, this time won't work, next time we will find a chance."

Qin Zhan was comforted, he didn't believe the so-called sincerity is as good as gold and stone, Mr. is really hard-hearted.
