Chapter IV. Tongue wars
Chen Ziyou also made a gesture to Wang: "I can't talk to Mr. in detail anymore, and I have a chance to meet again in the future." β
"Wang is here to wish the prince all the best when he enters the palace."
"I am the one who unveiled the list, and I will enter the palace with you." Chen Ziyou said.
The leader nodded and led Chen Zi away.
"Brother Wang, do you really think this person has a plan to break the enemy?" Sun Ju, who had not spoken all this time, did suddenly ask after everyone walked away.
"Who knows?" The king smiled and said no more.
......
Qiming Palace, Zhongshan King's Palace, Chen Zi is not idle on the way to the palace, has been looking at the structure of this palace, whether it is the foundation, the construction materials, it is very worthy of careful consideration, although Zhongshan is not a big country, but the leopard in the tube, from the most luxurious palace in the small country can guess the degree of civilization development in the rest of the place.
At this moment, Chen Ziyou was followed by an official, and listening to the name of those people just now, it seemed that he was a doctor surnamed Zhang.
"After entering the palace, remember to kneel down to see the lord first, and don't lose your courtesy." Dr. Zhang has been chattering in Chen Ziyou's ear.
Even with the guidance of the previous executives, the kneeling ceremony is still continued in the history of ancient civilizations, Chen Ziyou sighed in his heart, he was deeply influenced by the advanced ideas of ancient civilizations, he has always believed that everyone is equal, and he is very disgusted with the backward set of etiquette, and he feels extremely uncomfortable when he thinks of having to be forced to bow and bow helplessly.
At this moment, on the palace hall, Uncle Zhongshan sat on the throne, and on the left side of the two rows in the hall stood more than a dozen doctors in purple official uniforms, and on the right side stood more than a dozen generals wearing battle armor.
Uncle Zhongshan frowned, the recruitment list has been posted for more than a month, but no one dares to unveil the list, and the ministers in the court are even more at a loss for the plan of this battle, after hearing the news that someone unveiled the list outside the palace, Zhongshan Bo did not have any joy, he is now eager to see the person who unveiled the list, and listen to what he has a good plan.
In their opinion, Chen Ziyou, who is about to go to the court, is just an opportunistic petty man, who has taken a fancy to the rich reward, and wants to deceive the trust of Uncle Zhongshan with the benefit of his tongue in order to get the reward, and some doctors have even thought of a question in their minds and are ready to give Chen Ziyou an ugly look later.
"Report to the lord of the country, the unveiler is already outside the palace." The doctor who had followed Chen Ziyou before walked into the hall quickly, knelt down and said.
"Quick pass." Uncle Nakayama waved his hand.
Everyone turned their eyes to the door of the hall, wanting to see Chen Ziyou's face.
But when Chen Ziyou slowly walked into the front of the hall, most people's faces slowly showed disappointment, and some people were even full of ridicule.
"Grass man Chen Ziyou, meet Uncle Zhongshan." Chen Ziyou, dressed in a gray shabby robe, made a long gesture to the lord of Zhongshan on the high platform.
"Bold, why don't you kneel when you see the lord of the country!" A general shouted angrily.
"The lord of the country, this person does not know the number of etiquette, he must be deceiving the world and stealing his name, and he has no strategy in his heart, so he asks the lord of the country to behead this person!" A doctor came out and said.
Chen Ziyou smiled faintly and said, "Dare to ask this adult, can the gift of three kneels and nine bows save Zhongshan Kingdom from fire and water?" β
The doctor was about to refute, but he only heard Uncle Zhongshan on the high platform say: "Then dare to ask Mr., how can you save Zhongshan Kingdom?" β
"Lord of the country, if Zhongshan is defeated in this battle and the Qin army is stationed in Shoucheng, then Liu Wei will bow to the lord of the country?" Chen Ziyou asked rhetorically.
"Naturally not, if the king is defeated or defeated, how can there be a saying that the winner salutes the defeated army."
"What the lord of the country said is very true, but there is a saying that the grass people do not worship today, the grass people can ensure that the Zhongshan country will win a complete victory in this battle, the Qin army will not be able to enter Shoucheng, and the lord will not be taken captive to the Qin Palace, let alone salute the king of Qin, and exchange the kneeling of the lord for the kneeling of the grass people, whether the lord of the country thinks it is worth it." Chen Ziyou looked up at Uncle Zhongshan.
Uncle Zhongshan looked at Chen Ziyou with a solemn face, and said for a long time: "What Mr. said is reasonable, but why is Mr. so sure that our country will lose this battle, even if the Qin army is far superior to ours, but relying on the strength of the city, if it can't be defended, the Qin army may not be able to attack." β
"Dare to be the lord of the country, what does the lord of the country think of the Qin army's attack this time?"
After thinking for a while, Zhongshan Bo Luo said: "Although the leading general is not a famous general who has been famous for a long time, but he is also a battle-hardened general, plus he has been by Bai Lang's side for many years, Qin Guo worships this person as a general, which shows that he is determined to win." β
"In this case, even if it can't be held, how can the Qin army easily withdraw its troops? The Qin army is bound to win this battle, and the two countries are not far apart, so there is no pressure on the supply of grain and grass, even if it is a protracted war, what is the problem of supplying grain and grass for an army of 50,000 with the national strength of Qin. Chen Ziyou Langlang said.
Uncle Zhongshan nodded, and the solemn look on his face added a little more.
At this time, a doctor on the left came out: "According to what Mr. said, defending is not the way, could it be that our army should take the initiative to attack?" β
Chen Ziyou laughed and said: "My lord is so naΓ―ve, there are many plains in Zhongshan Country, and there is no danger to defend, if you take the initiative to attack and face the 50,000 iron horsemen of the Qin army on the plains, wouldn't it be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger and a child in the arms of the Qin army?" Even the hermits in the countryside know this! β
The doctor sneered: "Since Mr. also knows this truth, it is not to attack, and it is not to defend, does Sir want to persuade the Qin army to withdraw with a sharp mouth?" β
Chen Ziyou ignored the doctor's ridicule, looked at Zhongshan Bodao on the high platform: "The grass people have a plan in their hearts, but the big war is imminent, and they must not show the slightest clue, if the lord wants to hear it, the grass people can naturally say it, but if the news leaks, once the Qin army knows, our army will have no chance of winning." Therefore, the grass people dare to ask the lord of the country to only gather 20,000 troops in Shoucheng, and the rest of the defenders will not move, after the Qin army enters, all parts outside Shoucheng only need to resist a little, just wait for the Qin army to come to the city, and then the grass people will have their own tricks to win! β
"Sir's words are too risky, how can Lone believe you?" Uncle Zhongshan's eyes looked sharply at Chen Ziyou.
Chen Ziyou's eyes did not hide at all, and said lightly: "If you don't suspect people, if you don't believe it, you can push the grass people down at this moment to ask and kill the army." β
After a long time, Uncle Zhongshan suddenly laughed and said: "It's a good sentence to use people without suspicion!" In this case, this battle depends on the scheming of the gentleman! β
In July 387 of the new calendar, the Qin army invaded Zhongshan, and Zhongshan Bo used Chen Ziyou, who was known as the first military strategist of the Warring States period but was unknown at that time, as a strategist.
