If King Zhou had just pacified the world, and even before the issue of moving the capital was resolved, he was in a hurry to shrink his power, especially the military power, even if no one dared to resist, he would inevitably reject, resist and criticize.

In fact, Zhou Wang Ji Yan just had such an idea, so he discussed the feasibility with Ao Wenchang, and he didn't even say anything about Han Zhong, let alone Wu Dao, Annie and others.

Han Zhong can say in advance that it is a matter of personal talent, and he can figure out Ji Yan's mind by following Ji Yan since he was a child, but it is not as good as everyone thinks.

Wu Dao is completely repaying the favor, and he really thinks so!

Which founding lord will not take back his military power after pacifying the world?

At least it will also simplify the army, and raising the army is a major national matter, completely accounting for the majority of the country's expenditure.

It's not just a matter of believing, it's completely necessary and necessary, and the reason is as Wu Dao said.

The above is not counting the possibility in case the general has a different heart.

"My King's ......"

"This must not happen!"

Seeing that King Zhou nodded in agreement, Gu Yunyou, the Duke of Jin, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, attracting countless people with different thoughts and eyes.

The people who can participate in this banquet are completely knighted, and their wisdom and ability are not low, and they have already guessed King Zhou's thoughts, and they also know that it is difficult to refuse or resist.

How bold is the Duke of Jin to dare to refute in public?

Of course, now that King Zhou has not spoken, it cannot be regarded as disrespecting the decree or violating the holy will.

"My king Shengming, now it seems that the world is initially determined, but the undercurrent is turbulent, how can the legion be the foundation of the country?"

Since Gu Yunyou decided to speak out, he naturally would not retreat timidly, and bowed his hand and respectfully persuaded Ji Yan.

paused, looked around at everyone present, and finally his eyes fell on Wu Dao and continued:

"All over the world, there are still bandits gathering, bandits are rampant, and there are many deserters, homeless, widows, etc., you don't deny this, right?"

After a pause, he quickly continued:

"In addition, there is Beidi in the north of our country, and the soldiers and horses ......are ready to go south at any time."

"There are strange beasts in the west that are ready to move, and there have been several beast tides that have broken out......"

"There is a sea in the east, and there are traces of it, and there are villages or towns along the coast......"

"There are southern barbarians and strange beasts in the south, with the land of poor mountains and bad waters, they have not yet been attached, and there is nothing to fear. ”

"In such a critical and dangerous situation of internal and external troubles, how can our country reduce its army?"

“......”

Everyone was speechless, although they knew that Gu Yunyou definitely had something to say, otherwise they would not dare to rashly object.

But it really sounds like that......

If you don't listen to Gu Yunyou's explanation, you don't know that Zhou Guo is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and the crisis is so dangerous that it seems that it is possible to subvert it at any time.

Talent!

It is worthy of being the dove occupying the magpie's nest and becoming one of the biggest anti-kings of the King of Jin!

Including Ji Yan, many people admired it in their hearts.

"The Jin Kingdom is heavy!"

"Don't make a big fuss and exaggerate the facts......"

"Even if what the Duke of Jin said does exist, sending any imperial army can easily suppress and solve it, do you need so many legions?"

"Does the Duke of Jin know how many legions there are in my country today?"

"What does it cost to feed them?"

Wu Dao didn't eat Gu Yunyou's set, and sneered rather disdainfully.

After a pause, he quickly continued:

"It is estimated that it has exceeded 100 million, and the price of food is also calculated according to the minimum standard for the time being. ”

"Just the normal daily meal, you have to consume as much as 30 million gold coins of food, if you count the material consumption, military maintenance, weapon wear, etc., it will consume about 10 million gold coins a day, remember ......"

"It's daily!"

"Does the Duke of Jin know what this concept is?"

"How many people do you need to sustain it?"

Speaking of this, there was a pause, and everyone digested it a little in their hearts, and Wu Daocai continued:

"If the army is streamlined, we can convert losses into surpluses, solve the problem of people's livelihood and social security, and make social security more stable!"

"What's more, today, children aged 15 and under occupy nearly 10 percent ......of the Legion."

"Is it necessary for people over 50 years old to occupy about 20 percent?"

"They don't want to continue to go on the battlefield, but to disarm and return to the field, this is the heart of the army!"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Dao sneered and said mockingly: "By the way, I forgot that the Duke of Jin Guo was born as a civilian official, and he knows a little about military affairs, how can he know this!"

Gu Yunyou's face darkened, and he sneered: "Huai Guogong is a strong word, not to mention the size of the world, those legions seem to be extremely numerous, and they are distributed to hundreds or thousands of city strongholds, there are not many at all, and they are completely affordable." ”

"Just with the people's livelihood economy of our country, it is also completely supported. ”

"As everyone knows, my country has long solved the problem of food shortage, and is replenishing a large number of major granaries, isn't this reason superfluous?"

"Jin Guogong said more than that, the world knows that my country has always followed the path of elite soldiers, what do you want so many legions to do?"

"What do you want to do?"

Wu Dao shook his head and reminded with a pun, and then sneered: "If the legion is so useful, it will be difficult for my country to calm the world so quickly?"

It feels like it is mocking Gu Yunyou, if the legion is more useful, the old Jin King of Jin will not submit to the whole country!

The most important thing is to secretly warn Gu Yunyou, what do you want so many legions to do?

This problem can be big or small!

"As Huai Guogong said, maybe many soldiers are really useless, especially those veterans. ”

"However, the world is determined that our country will abandon them, this is obviously crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, so we are not afraid of the cold hearts of the people in the world?"

"Aren't you afraid of a mutiny in the hearts of the army?"

Gu Yunyou glared at Wu Dao without showing weakness, and asked in a passionate voice.

Everyone present was silent, and the atmosphere was quite solemn and suppressed, and there were ...... Treacherous!

When Wu Dao and Gu Yunyou talked about this, they were already full of gunpowder and almost tore their faces on the spot.

Both of them are talking about the legion, which is the contradiction between the king of Zhou or the people in power and the generals who hold the military power.

Wu Dao means that if it weren't for ill-intentioned intentions and ill intentions, there would be no need to control so many legions.

Gu Yunyou means that at the beginning of the world, the imperial court will take back the military power and dismiss the legion, obviously crossing the river and demolishing the bridge will make people chilling, and the worst will cause the legion to mutiny.

Wu Dao is facing many generals who do not want to hand over military power, and it takes a lot of courage and loyalty.

Gu Yunyou, it is likely that he pointed the arrow directly at King Zhou, which is more dangerous, and the possibility of winning is very small.

However, Gu Yunyou had to do this, in his heart, if he handed over the military power, King Zhou would definitely liquidate him, and he didn't want to die.

You must know that when the Zhou army besieged the Great Shang Yun Dynasty, Gu Yunyou couldn't capture Tongguan for a long time, so he wanted to rebel, but he knew that the hope was too small, so he endured it.

If you want to say that King Zhou didn't know that he once wanted to rebel, and Gu Yunyou didn't believe it when he was killed, he even believed that King Zhou wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, and he couldn't kill him and didn't dare to hand over his military power!

At this time, Gu Yunyu was already a bit of a bull's horn, which was a common problem among literati.

If King Zhou wants to kill him, does he need to take back his military power and kill him again?

One slap can be slapped to death!
