Chapter Fifty-Nine: Driving the Lili and Killing Yao Tao
Ah Dog actually lost and lost Longxi? How did this battle got! ”
"A dog" is Pu Luogu's nickname.
Pu Mao spoke, inspected the map on the case, and then said: "Wudu and Yinping were defeated by Dingxi, and the whole county of Longxi was lost again, and I was attacked in the west and south of Qinzhou, which is equivalent to opening the door!" If Qinzhou loses again, there will only be Fufeng and Shiping two counties left between Xianyang and Dingxi! …… Master Meng, Xianyang is in danger! If you want to raise an army, you will take back Longxi, and then take Wudu and Yinping, okay? ”
Qinzhou is Tianshui County.
Longxi County borders Tianshui County, and Tianshui County to Xianyang is less than 700 miles away.
The distance is not far, and Longxi County, Tianshui County, Fufeng County, Shiping County, and Xianyang City, these places are still along the Weishui River, and there is almost no danger in the middle.
Xianyang, judging from the situation on the map alone, is indeed very dangerous.
Meng Lang was not worried about Xianyang's safety, he had other worries.
Meng Lang said: "King, although Ran Xing and Longxi are lost, the ministers are ugly, and Xianyang is not in danger. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Meng Lang gave Pu Mao an analysis and said: "Although Dingxi covers a wide area, more than 1,000 miles from north to south and more than 2,000 miles from east to west, which is larger than the land of my Great Qin, but the land of Dingxi is barren, and the products of a year are not as good as the gains of my Feng Yi and Hongnong counties; The population is sparse, and the number of households in the whole of Long is not as large as that of Gyeonggi.
"There are few households, and there is a lack of property, the standing army in Dingxi is only tens of thousands, and the strength of the country is nothing more than 100,000 people, and the need for the north to be Rouran, the west to the Western Regions, and the internal Fu Beishan Xianbei, Huangshui Qiang and many miscellaneous Hu, now they take advantage of the opportunity of the king to discuss the country of Yao, and lay down Ranxing and Longxi, and the ministers are already their greatest ability, and they will have no spare strength to attack me again.
"Not only does I have no spare strength to attack me again, but I think that Dingxi will defeat Wudu and Yinping, which seems to be a victory, but in fact it is a disaster for itself, and it will be 'this victory', depleting its already weak national strength, and in the long run, it will greatly benefit my Daqin."
Pu Mao was still very smart, and immediately understood what Meng Lang meant, touched his beard, and said, "Yes! Wudu, Yinping is the ancestral land of our people, the two counties are more than Di, Qiang, although Dingxi got here for a while, but it will be difficult to get the submission of the Rong people of the two counties. What Meng Shi said about 'depletion of national strength', is this what he refers to? ”
Meng Lang said: "Exactly. Ran Seng Nu, the son of Qiu Chi Gong Ran Tong, is now running to me, and the king can grant him the position of Assassin Shi and Qiu Chi Gong in Southern Qinzhou, and send him to Tianshui County to instigate the rebellion of Di and Qiang in Wudu and Yinping counties. There are a lot of high mountains and mountains in Wudu and Yinping, once the chaos arises, the rebels can escape into the mountains, and at that time, don't say that I am Xianyang, I expect that the west may not even be able to control the rebellion in these two counties, and when the time is ripe, the king chooses a general, and he can easily defeat Wudu and Yinping. ”
Ran Tong, the lord of Ran Xing, died in the battle, and some of the Ran royal family were captured by Lu Shuang, and some fled to Puqin.
Ran Seng Nu is the most noble one in the Ran royal family who fled to Puqin.
After the last time Koji Shuo and Yan Dan attacked Xingxing, Ran Tong offered a surrender table and Pu Mao in order to protect himself, and Pu Mao gave him the two titles of "Qiu Chi Gong and Southern Qinzhou Assassin History" mentioned by Meng Lang. The Ran clan has occupied Wudu and Yinping counties for a long time, and despite the constant infighting, the prestige of Wudu and Yinping is still there. At this moment, for the purpose of provoking rebellion in Wudu and Yin Pingrong, awarding these two titles to Ran Seng Nu is an old and spicy strategy as a legal call.
The two countries are at war, and the ultimate competition is national strength.
Meng Lang said that the products of Dingxi in one year are not as good as those of Hongnong and other counties, and the households of Quanlong are not as many as those of Xianyang and Gyeonggi.
This statement is a bit exaggerated, but it can't be said to be exactly bragging.
At present, Dingxi's national strength is indeed inferior to Puqin.
Defeating the whole county of Ranxing and Longxi is indeed as Meng Lang said, it is already the greatest ability of Dingxi, at least before digesting the whole county of Ranxing and Longxi, Dingxi is indeed incapable of attacking Qin again.
Not only did there be no spare strength to attack Qin, if there was really a situation like Meng Lang said, under the command of Ran Seng Nu, the Rong people in Wudu and Yinping counties rebelled, and they were afraid that Dingxi would really "be the pioneer of the king", so they could only withdraw their troops in the end and give up Wudu and Yinping to Pu Qin.
After listening to Meng Lang's analysis, Pu Mao let go of his worries about Xianyang.
But since he ascended the throne, militarily, Zhao Yanli in the north, Yao in the east, invincible, plus the original intention, want to take back the half of Longxi County occupied by Dingxi,—— after all, Longxi County is west of the Yellow River, and its strategic position is very important, so he is still angry about Dingxi's defeat of Pu Luogu and covering up the whole county of Longxi.
Pu Mao said: "It is a good strategy to make Ran Seng and slave succeed the assassin history and Qiu Chigong of Southern Qinzhou, and provoke Wudu and Yin to rebel. However, Meng Shi, Longxi County is the key to the western part of my Great Qin, and this county is now occupied by Dingxi, but Lone can't ignore it! ”
Meng Lang said: "What the king said is very true! ”
Pu Mao asked: "Master Meng, if you attack Longxi County, who do I think will be the general?" How about a dog? What is Gou Xiong? ”
Meng Lang replied slowly: "Why do you need Duke Jin and General Gou!" Zhao Yanli is enough! ”
Pu Mao didn't expect Meng Lang to recommend such a candidate to him, so he was stunned for a moment and said, "Zhao Yanli? ”
Thinking of Meng Lang's distrust of Zhao Yanli, and when fighting against Yao, Meng Lang insisted on letting Zhao Yanli lead the troops of the Tiefu Xiongnu to join the expedition.
Pu Mao understood why Meng Lang proposed this, laughed, and said, "Master Meng's intention is lonely!" It's just that before the Yao country, Ah Dog has a secret play, Zhao Yanli retreated in battle, if he is sent to attack Longxi, he may still not do his best, right? ”
Meng Lang said: "You don't need him to do his best, as long as he doesn't stop fighting." The ministers promoted Lu Ming and Ji He as their assistants. ”
Pu Mao said: "Lu Ming, Ji He, the attack is non-stop. …… Master Meng, you want to use Lu Ming and Ji He to supervise Zhao Yanli and urge him to fight often. ”
This is exactly what Meng Lang intended.
Meng Lang said bluntly and said, "That's what the minister meant!" ”
Pu Mao groaned, and said in his heart: "Zhao Yanli, this guy, is indeed a cunning person as Master Meng commented!" When attacking Yao, he cheated and cheated, in order to preserve his strength, Ah Dog was also extremely dissatisfied with him, and suggested that I punish him.
"But at the moment, there are more wars in the country, the states and counties are full of heroes and counties, and there are many dock forts, if I kill Zhao Yanli, who will come to join me in the future? Why did Ran Seng Nu vote for me? In addition to being of the same clan as me, the most important thing is not because I treat Zhao Yanli well?
"The government of the royal road is a combination of leniency and fierceness. Master Meng suppressed my Qin clan and noble relatives, slaughtered local strong sects, and acted harshly; I should be benevolent. In this way, we can rectify the domestic order, enrich the people and strengthen the army, and at the same time, not lose the good name of our benevolence and righteousness, and attract heroes from abroad.
"This Zhao Yanli, killing, can't be killed, but Master Meng's strategy is available."
Meng Lang's strategy has two benefits.
One is that it can consume Zhao Yanli's strength; One is that through continuous fighting, Dingxi's national strength can also be further consumed.
The decision was made.
Pu Mao said: "I will follow Master Meng's recommendation!" ”
made a supplement to Meng Lang's two opinions of "using Ran monk slaves" and "transferring Zhao Yanli to attack Longxi", Pu Mao said, "Zhao Yanlizi Zhao Xing, Junyi is out of the group, and he plans to choose a clan girl to marry him; Ran monk slave, Lone is also treated the same. What does Master Meng think? ”
This is a common means of showing trust, and Meng Lang has no objection.
After solving the troubles of Ran Xing and Longxi County, Meng Lang left the palace with a bow, and his face became more and more worried.
Xiang Chiaxe, as his close official, followed him every day, saw his worries, and asked: "Dingxi and my Great Qin compete for Ran Xing, and Ran Xing is finally Dingxide; I, Longxi, also fell into his hands. Dingxi has become a fierce enemy of our western frontier. Is Ming Gong worried about Dingxi? ”
"Dingxi is not worried!
"Pu Ying conspired against him, although he will be punished, according to Pu Ying's confession, and the state assassin Shi Pujian and Yongzhou assassin Shi Putong also have objections, but the king is not prosecuted, and he refuses to announce the matter. Yao's first fought with my Great Qin, Yao is now defeated and died, Yao's and our dynasty can be said to have a deep enmity, Yao Tao, Yao Jin and others surrendered, but the king gave a high position, to be favored.
"The one I'm worried about is the country!"
Under the political measures of Meng Lang and Pu Mao to recuperate the people, Pu Qin is thriving on the surface, but the more he develops, the more keenly Meng Lang is aware that Pu Qin's interior is already full of hidden dangers.
It is precisely because of these hidden dangers that when he was first in the palace, he did not support Pu Mao's idea of attacking Longxi and Ran Xing on a large scale.
The ox cart drove on the road, bumpy, just like Pu Qin's current situation.
The ox cart was big and sturdy, like galloping on a straight road, and it was bright, but if all kinds of hidden dangers were not removed in time, at some point, a ditch, a pit, or even a stone would suddenly appear in front of the child, and the ox cart would be overturned.
Meng Lang thought: "Dingxi Xiaobang, and then take it." The capture of Wei sent information, the Lord of Wei is seriously ill, has not been in the dynasty for nearly a month, the death period should not be far away, the sons of the Lord of Wei are fighting for power, there is Tuoba in the north, there is He Hun in the southeast to covet the evil, the Lord of Wei is dead, and the capture of Wei will be in chaos. If I want to dominate the northern country, compete with Jiangzuo for deer, and Wei land, I must lay it first!
"After two years of light taxation and cherishing people's livelihood, the national strength of our Daqin is getting stronger and stronger. If Wei Di is in turmoil, it will be a rare opportunity for my Great Qin! However, if you are not inside, how can you hit the outside? ”
The curtain of the car window was not lifted, sitting in the dark carriage, Meng Lang's gray beard was particularly conspicuous, he touched the handle of Yu Ruyi, as if holding a sword, and muttered, "My strategy is as successful, as long as in the battle of Longxi County, most of the strength of the Tiefu Huns will be consumed, and Zhao Yanli will no longer be able to worry about our dynasty no matter how repeated." Pu Jian, Pu Tong, and the clan, the king refused to kill, and I couldn't admonish him, so I had to let it go. Only Yao Tao's son, although he is young, is not a mediocre person, and the top priority is to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible! ”
