Chapter 199: Take the first step to attack the throne

In the eyes of the world, a warrior with great martial arts must only have muscles in his brain?

Not really.

Especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, who can show martial arts on the battlefield, which one is not a nobleman?

is a nobleman, more or less able to learn some knowledge.

Nobles without knowledge are unable to build their own territories, and without enough output, they cannot afford to pay once or twice.

This depends on the special nature of the present endowment.

In other words, the nobles have to bring their own soldiers to the battlefield, and the logistics are also the responsibility of their own families, and it is really not up to the state to send troops and bear the logistics.

Therefore, those who only have the courage and do not know how to build are destined to have no future.

Knowing that this will be the result, who would dare to grow only muscles in the brain!

Zhi Gang didn't mean to look down on Lu Wu, and there was no misunderstanding in it, it could only be said to be subjective speculation.

The old Lu family was still a "scholar" family five years ago.

In terms of the current social structure, it is impossible for the families of "scholars" to have a collection of books, and even some families at the level of "doctors" may not have a collection of books.

Books carry knowledge, and there are not even books, so how much knowledge can be mastered by word of mouth? That knowledge is not guaranteed to be reliable.

Then there is the family background that determines the level of vision.

To put it bluntly, there are elders in the family who occupy a high position, and only the level of what they see and come into contact with can be high-end, forming a broad enough cognition to be able to analyze and judge some situations.

In this era when knowledge is monopolized by the aristocracy, don't expect how many talents can emerge from the people, even if one or two talents can appear, the achievements that can be achieved will actually be quite limited.

Seeing that Lu Wu could understand and extend what he said, Zhi Fu became interested in discussing the situation.

He once had the experience of living in Chu (captured) and thought he had a clear understanding of Chu State.

Chu is really a vast country, but their system and execution are problematic, and they can't give full play to the strength that a strong country should have.

It's just that even if the Chu State can only use three or four points of strength every ten points, it is still difficult to fight against the camp headed by the Jin State.

Zhi Gang's proposition is very practical, and it is impossible to defeat the Chu State with one or two wars, so can it be possible to use a long-term tug-of-war to bleed the Chu State bit by bit, and then use diplomatic relations to remotely control several countries in the process, forcing or inducing the Chu State to send troops at two ends in three days.

"It is in vain to make it send troops!" Zhi Gang talked about it, and the expression on his face became much more vivid, and he said: "In the long run, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State will definitely deviate from morality, and they will no longer have the ambition to go north!" ”

Lu Wu didn't intend to flatter all the time, so he asked a very practical question, and said: "The Chu State sends troops, and the Jin State also needs to send troops. How will it be? ”

Zhigang likes this kind of playing.

It's just that he himself said that his thoughts can only be his own, and everything is going according to the best in his imagination, and it cannot be supplemented.

"Good question!" Zhigang was in a deep contemplation, and after a while, he asked rhetorically, "In your opinion, what will happen?" ”

Lu Wu had already conceived the answer and said: "You can send a widow to invade the country that must be protected, force Chu to send a large army to help, and then I will withdraw my troops to avoid its edge." ”

Zhifu shook his head with a smile and said, "There are few troops, and it is difficult to have an actual threat. ”

How can you talk to the leader without giving the leader the opportunity to exert his wisdom?

Lu Wu deliberately left that flaw.

Zhi Gang thought for a while and said, "Compete with Chu, don't be sloppy. Invade the country that must be protected, so it is! You can send out an 'army' and invite all countries to help in the war, and the army will not be weakened before it can be effective. ”

Lu Wu showed a praising expression very appropriately and said, "Zhi Boguo is an elder. ”

When Zhi Gang heard this, he laughed out loud and scolded with a smile: "Slippery head." ”

In fact, this is the strategy of "losing 1,000 enemies and destroying 800 yourself."

If you don't have a rich family background and don't drag the other party down, you will play with your own eggs first.

As a newly rising middle-class aristocrat in the Jin Kingdom, LΓΌ Wu stood on his own side and did not want Zhifu's strategy to become an established national policy.

Lao Lu's family does not have much family background, and if they repeatedly participate in wars that only pay but have no gain, they will soon be completely dragged down.

Lu Wu didn't know when Zhigang would bring his strategy to the meeting of the "Qing" to discuss, and whether there was a possibility of passing.

He made an inquiry.

Zhi Fu didn't hide it, saying that it would take a few more years to perfect, and let Lu Wu come over more often to discuss that strategy together.

Of course, Lu Wu agreed, and thanked Zhi Gang for allowing him to participate in the formulation of this strategy.

Neither of them said it explicitly.

It's just that Zhigang has already sent out an invitation, which means that he has shown his willingness to take the relationship between the two sides further.

This tendency has advantages and disadvantages for Lu Wu, but it must be more beneficial than disadvantageous.

That is to participate in the formulation of national policies that may affect the direction of the entire country, and to participate in it is a qualification, and the effect of national policies is a credit.

Of course, if the national policy does not have a positive effect, it must also bear the corresponding responsibility.

Night.

Zhi Gang didn't let Lu Wu leave.

The old man didn't know what he was stimulating, and he really needed someone to talk to.

Later, Zhi Gang called his son Zhi Shuo over and bluntly asked Zhi Shuo to get closer to Lu Wu.

Lu Wu has met Zhishuo a few times, but his friendship is very dull.

During the chat, Zhishuo talked about going to the Bank of China Yan before, and mentioned the door of the Bank of China's mansion.

In fact, the Bank of China should not be so high-profile.

His father Xun Geng just died of illness this year, and he obtained a high position in an instant, and being too high-profile will attract criticism.

The nobles of the Jin Kingdom did not have the saying that the death of their elders must be mourned for several years.

Especially when he takes over the throne, it is generally the limit of three months of mourning.

If the situation is exceptional, it can be over in three days.

This depends on the fact that the Jin people are more practical and make decisions based on the immediate situation.

Among the various vassal states, only Lu has a rigid requirement on how many days to mourn the death of a loved one, and the rest of the countries are very flexible.

Bank of China definitely doesn't want to be so beautiful.

However, in many cases, it is not done on the basis of personal wishes.

So many nobles want to stammer, can Zhongxingyan still refuse everyone?

If you really do that, you will inevitably have a reputation for being unkind when you first get a high position.

If you see too much, you will be considered to be forming a gang again.

Zhishuo made it clear that Zhongxingyan fell into happy troubles and expressed envy.

In his son's narration, Zhigang had a cold face throughout the whole process.

He didn't pretend to be in front of Lu Wu, and said very bluntly: "The Luan clan wants to harm Boyou." ”

For this kind of thing, Lu Wu can't speak out.

Zhishuo, who has always shown himself to be a smart person, said: "Luan's bullying my Zhi's is also a discordant family relationship. ”

Let's just say it, Zhi Gang is still ashamed because he is an elder, but he lags behind Zhongxingyan in the ranking of the secretary.

This must also make the nobles think of the stain of Zhigang being captured by the Chu State, and even infinitely magnified.

It is impossible to say that the Zhi clan and the Zhongxing clan have become passers-by since then.

It's just that the rift does already exist.

Zhishuo looked at Lu Wu and said, "When I returned home, I saw that the Hao family invited relatives and friends, and I was cold. ”

Now the confrontation between the Yin family and the Luan family has not only cooled down, but also has a warming effect as Luan Shu hard tops the Bank of China.

The Yin family, who has three "Qings", has been robbed of the limelight by the Bank of China, and he must do something to save his respect.

Then, holding a banquet and inviting people to the house to be guests has become a necessary means to build up momentum.

"Wulai Xintian must be invited by the Hao family." Zhishuo said very firmly, seeing that Lu Wu nodded and admitted, he asked with a smile: "I heard that Wen Ji and Wu have an agreement, if there is a war, the military generals will join the new army?" ”

This matter must have been revealed by the Hao family!

And Lu Wu did have an agreement with Hao Zhi.

Zhishuo seemed to feel sorry for Lu Wu, and said, "In this way, the military general will be snubbed by Han Bo. ”

In fact, Lu Wu has never been favored by Han Ju!

Zhao Wucai is the tip of Han Jue's heart.

Isn't this an open fact?

Zhishuo wanted to say something, but the first word of a sentence was stopped by his father.

For his son, Zhigang still knows him very well.

Cleverness is really smart, it's too expressive!

"If Shuo has a heart, he will serve as a brigade commander in the military department." Zhi Fu paused for a moment, as if he wanted to see Lu Wu's reaction, and waited for a while before continuing: "You have a new fief, and there are not enough 'scholars' under your command, so the old man will help you. If you are in the past, you will support the armor and equipment. ”

Sure enough, it's Zhigang's style!

Even if you want to help, it will definitely not be in vain, and there must be benefits.

He made this a temporary idea, so that Lu Wu could understand his strategy, and felt that Lu Wu talked about many things very practically, unlike some hairy children who couldn't even talk about it.

Lu Wu was stunned for a moment, and then showed an embarrassed expression.

Zhigang was a little unhappy, and said, "How many people can get the help of the old man?" ”

Zhishuo, who has no right to speak, is full of expectations.

He had heard too much about Lu Wu's brave deeds, and he really wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Lu Wu was really embarrassed.

But that's fifteen hundred weapons and armor!

It is true that the old Lu family is smelting and manufacturing weapons and armor on a large scale, but it is not conjured out of thin air.

Lu Wu thought about it, and in exchange for 1,500 sets of equipment to get closer to the Zhi clan, it was a big price to pay, but what he could gain was a long-term future.

Whoever does this business will not feel at a loss.

He needed to say the ugly thing to the front, "Disgusting may make you unhappy." ”

Zhigang raised his hand and pointed at Lu Wu, with an expression of "you kid is not atmospheric".

The smart man Zhishuo opened his mouth and said: "The Yin clan has made many feats in battle, who doesn't know that your family is evil. ”

Lu Wu still had a lost expression on his face, and said sullenly: "It's okay to be outfitted." It's just that Zhibo needs to support the grain. ”

Zhigang said: "Bartering will be evil to the Wei family." ”

Sending and trading are two different things.

The largest supplier of weapons and armor to the Jin State was the Wei clan.

Although the Wei family is not overbearing enough to prevent other families from getting involved in this market, Lu Wu really joining the market competition will break the tacit understanding between the two families.

Lu Wu was really speechless at this time, and said in his heart: "Pick the door and pick this one, and you still have a good face for you." I don't want to find a way to get more benefits from Zhi's, and I'm going to be a stupid, money-rich, and speedy representative in the future! ”
