Chapter 426: Zhang Liang on the situation in the world!
Zhang Liang couldn't go into seclusion, so let the prince Xiao Rui personally invite him?
Li Yuanfang was very angry, feeling that this person was very excessive, even if he had talent, he couldn't be arrogant! His Royal Highness is not without strategists around him, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are both human spirits, is it possible that he is still missing a Zhang Liang?
Xiao Rui smiled.
In the previous life, Liu Bei asked Wolong to come out of the mountain, and in this life, the prince Xiao Rui invited Zhang Liang to enter the WTO!
Tsk, it will be a good story that will be passed down through the ages.
Even... I don't have much reputation as an emperor in the future, and I rely on this good story to be mixed in the memory of future generations, so I want to go, why not go!
Immediately, Xiao Rui entered the palace to ask for a decree.
"Father, my son wants to go to Xuanzhou!" Xiao Rui got straight to the point.
Emperor Xia was reviewing the chapter, and suddenly heard Xiao Rui's request, and looked at him in surprise.
"An assassin assassinated you yesterday, and you're going to Xuanzhou today? Monkey business! Don't go! Emperor Xia reprimanded, but he understood Xiao Rui and continued to ask, "What are you doing in Xuanzhou?" ”
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "My father grew up in Xuanzhou, where he was contaminated with dragon energy, and it is said that he is an outstanding person. Yesterday, Erchen Xiu Mu happened to meet Lu Su, the daughter of Ming Yibo, and she recommended a virtuous person named Zhang Liang to Erchen! Erchen sent someone to Xuanzhou yesterday, but unfortunately, this person was arrogant and unwilling to enter Beijing. Erchen has a heart of love for talents, so I want to invite it in person! ”
"You summoned him to Beijing, but he didn't want to come? Even if this person is talented, he is too arrogant! And there are many kinds of talents, how is this person, hearsay is not good! After Emperor Xia finished speaking, he looked at Yan Xiaoxiao on the side and asked, "You came from Xuanzhou, have you ever heard of this person's reputation?" ”
Yan Xiaoxiao said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave has heard of this person's name, and he is almost a household name in Xuanzhou, and it is said that he was instructed by immortals and learned the art of war. It is said that he is extremely smart, proficient in strategy, and has the ability to win over the invisible and win thousands of miles. But because he was born in a poor family, although he was proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, he couldn't go to high school for a long time, so he was vague in the mountains. ”
Emperor Xia nodded and said: "As the crown prince, it is not polite to deign to invite, if this person is really talented, it will not lose a good thing." Heroes emerge in troubled times, and now that the national war has begun, many buried talents will be revealed, and the spread of your personal visit to Xuanzhou will definitely cause a reaction and encourage talented people. ”
Xiao Rui didn't expect this, but now that he thought about it deeply, he found that this was a big opportunity, so he hurriedly said: "Father, the son has an idea!" ”
"Say!" Xia Huang Road.
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Erchen's Zhan Mansion is short of people, why not set up a recruitment hall to recruit talented people from all over the world!" In the past few days, let the "Daxia Daily" first publicize, forming a discussion boom, and wait for the ministers to invite Zhang Liang to come back, and promote it by the "Daxia Daily". Although the imperial court has a imperial examination system to select talents, after all, there are still many capable people who are not good at the Four Books and Five Classics, and they can only be buried in the years and waste a lifetime. The Great Xia that Erchen yearns for can make the best use of what people can do and make the best use of things! ”
"People do their best, make the best use of things..."Emperor Xia couldn't help but repeat, he didn't know the limitations and constraints of the imperial examination system, but even he didn't dare to use the imperial examination. After all, the ancestors finally overthrew the probation system, took the right to select talents from the hands of the family and the gate valve, and then overthrew the imperial examination system, isn't it a slap in the face?
Even if Emperor Xia has an excellent IQ, he can't think of a selection method that can replace the imperial examination!
Emperor Xia sighed with emotion: "If this is the case, then Great Xia will definitely be even more prosperous!" Emperor, I encourage you to do so! ”
"Besides, the idea of the Recruiting Pavilion is good, I have it." Xia Huang said with a smile.
Xiao Rui hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Father Xie, my son-in-law will go to prepare, and then set off for Xuanzhou!" ”
Emperor Xia glared and said, "When did I give you permission to go to Xuanzhou?" ”
"My father said it right just now! Grandpa Hai also heard it! Xiao Rui hurriedly pointed to Hai Dafu.
Hai Dafu looked sad, he didn't dare to speak now, and if he spoke, he would have to be punished, his coffin.
Emperor Xia snorted: "Don't be embarrassed to be a companion of the sea anymore... Since you want to go, it's not impossible. But you can't go openly, the assassins in the shadows are eyeing it, and if you want to go, you can only go quietly. ”
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, son-in-law understands!" The retainers bring enough masters, and no one will notice the disguise. ”
Emperor Xia nodded, this is gracious.
Subsequently, Xiao Rui left the palace, asked Li Yuanfang, Dian Wei, Yang Youji, and Wu to prepare, and took ten iron dragon riding elites, and more than ten people were ready to go out of the city in batches, gather outside the city, and then go to Xuanzhou.
In the evening of the same day, he came to Jiangcheng Mansion to rest, and continued to hurry the next morning, and came to Xuanzhou Mansion before noon.
The group did not enter the city, but went directly to the place where Zhang Liang settled, Qingyan Mountain.
Qingyan Mountain is handsome, follow the sheep intestine path into the mountain, zigzag back to the room, there is a hut in a valley.
Next to the hut is a lake where mountain spring water converges, reflecting the sunlight and shining brightly. Although it is winter, the green bamboo next to the hut adds a touch of green.
Xiao Rui dismounted and walked to the hut. At this time, on the path outside the hut, a young man who looked like a scholar was standing here waiting, and when he saw Xiao Rui coming, he hurriedly asked: "But Xiao Gongzi?" ”
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "I am, are you Mr. Zhang's scholar?" ”
The young man responded: "My husband has already made tea, Xiao Gongzi, please!" ”
Xiao Rui asked Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei to wait outside, and when he entered the hut with the scholar, he saw a handsome man drinking tea there.
The man is about the same age as Guo Jia, but his appearance is feminine, so he is described as handsome. Xiao Rui remembered that in his previous life, he read "Historical Records. Staying in the Hou Family", which describes Zhang Liang: "looks like a woman and a good girl", which means that boys and girls look feminine, so Xiao Rui is handsome and beautiful, which is quite appropriate.
When Xiao Rui looked at Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang immediately put down the teacup and got up, and saluted respectfully: "Grass people Zhang Liang, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the cold house to miss the welcome, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive his sins! ”
Xiao Rui stepped forward to hold up Zhang Liang and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Brother Zifang for a long time, and I took the liberty to disturb it this time." ”
Zhang Liang hurriedly invited Xiao Rui to take a seat, then poured tea for him, and said: "This is the tea tree planted by the grass people in the back mountain, picking and frying it by yourself, the taste is not good, and I hope Your Highness will not mind." ”
"Oh? Is it? The king should check it out! Xiao Rui raised his glass and tasted it, and suddenly felt that his mouth was filled with a faint fragrance of tea, and it was slightly bitter.
The taste is indeed not as good as the imperial tea, but Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Whether the tea tastes good or not, it depends on who you taste it with." Today's tea fragrance is far better than the imperial tea in the palace. ”
The dignified prince slapped Zhang Liang's sycophant, and Zhang Liang was also flattered.
Although he has wisdom and talent, after all, he is from a poor family, and he has no merit, this time he did not accept the prince's summons with arrogance, one is tempted, and the other is discouraged.
If the prince is really willing to be a corporal of Lixian, he Zhang Liang is willing to be full of liver and brains, otherwise, then he should continue to live in seclusion and get away with things.
What he didn't expect was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really came, and he was so attentive and easy-going, which was beyond his expectations.
Death for a confidant!
This sentence is not groundless, but the ethics of the ancients!
Zhang Liang got up and apologized again: "Your Highness, the villain does not respect the law of etiquette, cares about the norm in vain, and behaves wantonly, and bothers His Highness to work so far, the villain is deeply sorry and is willing to be punished by His Highness." ”
Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "The ovary, if you come here in person, you can see the heart of this king, and this king is willing!" Don't say that Xuanzhou is Fuzhou, thousands of miles away, and this king doesn't mind. To be able to get such a talent as the ovary, such as a right-hand man, is even more a blessing in Daxia! ”
Zhang Liang was a little embarrassed to be praised, although he was excellent, he was not so good!
"His Royal Highness attaches so much importance to the villain, and the villain is deeply ashamed." Zhang Liang was moved.
Xiao Rui asked, "Is the ovary willing to return to Beijing with this king?" ”
"The villain is willing, willing to do the work of dogs and horses!" Zhang Liang got up and bowed again.
Xiao Rui held him up again, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
Next, the two continued to drink tea and chat.
"Ovary, what do you think the situation in the world will be in the future?" Xiao Rui asked.
Zhang Liang tested Xiao Rui's recruitment, and Xiao Rui naturally studied his ability. And Xiao Rui didn't embarrass Zhang Liang, knowing that he lived in seclusion in the mountains, so he didn't ask him how to defeat Zhao Guo, but asked him about the situation in the world.
A real talented strategist will stand at a very high height to observe the situation in the world, and this situation is beyond anyone's control, including Emperor Xia, Emperor Zhao and others, because it implies the development of the rules of heaven and earth, and the emperor of a country alone cannot control it.
Just like Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched house, Zhuge Liang proposed a three-point countermeasure for him, which is an analysis of the situation in the world, and a longzhong countermeasure for Liu Bei to settle down and establish a career.
Guo Jia and Jia Xu both have their own patterns and have a certain grasp of the situation in the world, and Zhang Liang naturally has it.
At this time, in the face of Xiao Rui's inquiry, Zhang Liang was sitting in a precarious position, he knew that it was time for him to perform, since he had decided to go out of the mountain to be loyal to His Highness, he had to reflect his own value and not let His Highness down!
"Your Highness, I was fortunate to hear the "Ten Victories Theory" from Kyoto, which is clear and thorough, although Zhao has many soldiers and horses, it is a poor army, and in less than six months, when the weather is hot, the Zhao army will be defeated!"
Xiao Rui nodded and continued to wait for him to continue.
Zhang Liang said again: "However, according to the villain's opinion, the death of the Zhao State was not due to the conquest of Great Xia, but from other factors!" ”
Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think it was the Qin State that destroyed the Zhao State?" ”
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Your Highness has two top strategists by his side, and I believe he has also speculated. And my opinion is the same, and according to the current situation, nine times out of ten! ”
Guo Jia and Jia Xu speculated that now Zhao is attacking Xia with all its might, and the hinterland is empty, although the three Xiongguan passes in the Qinling Mountains each have 100,000 troops, relying on the natural danger of the Qinling Mountains to block millions of Qin troops, but the siege is the next strategy, the upper army is strategic, the second is the attack, the second is the army, and the next is the siege. The State of Qin is not the State of Yuan, and it will do stupid things to forcibly attack the city.
"Zifang thinks that the Qin State will break through the three Xiongguan of the Zhao State, and the army will drive straight in, once it enters the Zhao State, it will be like entering the realm of no one, and it will go straight to the imperial capital of the Zhao State from behind and destroy the Zhao State?" Xiao Rui asked deliberately.
Zhang Liang nodded, but shook his head again, and said with a smile: "Emperor Zhao is not stupid, he has 100,000 soldiers in the three Xiongguan, all of them are elite, and the generals who lead the troops are all henchmen, and their relatives are all controlled by Emperor Zhao, and it is difficult to win the three passes." ”
Xiao Rui became interested and hurriedly asked, "Come on!" ”
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "When the battle between Xia and Zhao was in full swing, the Qin State would build a plank road near the North Pivot Pass, trying to cross the Qin Mountains, and then darken the snow field, this is the first plan!" ”
"Considering the harshness of the snowfields in the north of the Qin State, it is impossible to march on a large scale, so there will not be many Qin troops who invade the Zhao State, and there will be no more, three thousand people are enough, you can take advantage of the emptiness of the hinterland of the Zhao State, and the long beard will go straight to attack the imperial capital, this attack is a feint, and the villages on the road through it are slaughtered, leaving not a single inch of grass, creating fear in the hearts of the people, with the mobility of three thousand people, it is not easy to completely encircle and suppress! This is the second plan! ”
Subsequently, the Qin State spread rumors in the territory of the Zhao State, claiming that the Zhao army was defeated, the imperial capital was also broken by the Qin army, the Zhao Emperor was dead, and the Zhao State would be destroyed! As soon as this rumor comes out, the already fearful people will believe it! This third plan! ”
"Rumors are spreading in the territory of Zhao State, and the three passes of Qinling will inevitably be in turmoil! The Qin State pretended to send millions of troops to create the illusion of storming the North Pivot Pass, and the army's morale was already turbulent, and the generals of the North Pivot Pass would definitely ask the other two passes to send reinforcements! This fourth plan! ”
"And the real goal of the Qin State is to leave the South Pass! Taking advantage of the panic in the hearts of the people, taking the opportunity to use poison, the Qin army hiding in Zhao launched an attack, and then... It is not difficult to break through the South Departure Pass! This fifth plan! ”
"Once the south is broken, the other two passes will be useless, and then the empty hinterland of Zhao will be like a lamb to be slaughtered, and the Qin State will directly attack the imperial capital of Zhao State and destroy Zhao State, there is no suspense!"
"The defeat of the Zhao State, the Xia army and the Qin army were strong, accounting for only fifty percent, and the remaining fifty percent, forty percent was Emperor Zhao's harsh government, poor soldiers, and the people complained, the army is both the people, the people's hearts are scattered, and the army's heart is difficult to survive. Yicheng is too confident in the defense of the three Xiongguan passes, and will press eighty percent of his troops to the east to fight against Great Xia! The ambition of the Qin State is known to the world, but Emperor Zhao is proud, sad and pathetic..."
At this moment, Zhang Liang seems to have become the guest of the Qin Emperor, and then he made suggestions for the Qin State, a series of five plans, interlocking, first let the Xia army consume the Zhao army, and then the Qin State first attacked the plan, then the heart, and finally the city!
At that time, the Xia State helped the Qin State to establish a great cause.
Zhang Liang said again: "Your Highness, it is inevitable that the Qin State will attack Zhao, the strategy proposed by the villain is only one way to win, and the loss will be smaller, and the Qin Emperor may use other methods to attack the city, but no matter what method is used, the three passes of the Qin Mountains of the Zhao State cannot stop the hideous iron hooves of the Qin army!" ”
Xiao Rui nodded and hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do in Daxia?" Could it be that he wanted to remind Emperor Zhao and let him be careful of the Qin Dynasty? ”
Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "It's useless to remind, Emperor Zhao will believe it?" He was stubborn and self-serving, even if someone in the court saw through it, he couldn't influence Emperor Zhao's thoughts. Unless the crown prince of Zhao kills the monarch and ascends the throne, there may be variables. But... Now the situation in Zhao State, once the king is killed, it is closer to destruction. Moreover, in order to come to the east, the Qin State has long been ready, and if it is suitable for the place and the people today, it cannot be stopped. This is one of the situations of the future! ”
"Although the Qin State is strong, our Xia State is not afraid of him! When the time comes, the territory of Zhao will be divided equally, and Xia and Qin have never clashed, so they will not fight rashly! He will go north to attack Qi and south to attack Yan and continue to expand! ”
Xiao Rui nodded and continued to ask, "What about other countries?" ”
Zhang Liang smiled and continued to tell, "When the two tigers fight, they must first clean up the wolves around them, and Yan and Qi are jackals. At that time, Daxia will reach a tacit agreement with Qin to divide Yan and Qi, and of course, Wei and Yuan will also get a piece of the pie! In the end, this Shenzhou continent is the Yuan State in the north, the Wei State in the south, the Qin State in the west, and the Xia State in the east! Under the division of the four countries, there will be a rest, a temporary resumption of recuperation, and within three years, there will be no more fighting. ”
After listening to this, Xiao Rui breathed a long sigh of relief.
At that time, the territory of Great Xia will be doubled.
"And what's next?" Xiao Rui asked.
Zhang Liang drank a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Under the division of the four kingdoms, the first to provoke a war must be the Yuan State. There are three reasons, one is that the Yuan State is a nomadic people, even if he occupies the land of the Qi State, he will enslave the Qi people, and the Qi people will flee, and the opposite will be the opposite, and the Yuan State will not be able to recuperate at all. Second, His Royal Highness should have discovered that the weather has become colder and colder in recent years, and the situation will become more and more serious, and the bad weather will make the nomadic Yuan State do their old job and go south to loot, and the Yuan Kingdom pursues a wolf faith, and it is impossible to prevent them from looting! Third, jealousy and ambition, this point does not need to be said by villains. ”
Xiao Rui nodded, agreeing with Zhang Liang's speculation very much, but what worried Xiao Rui more was that the weather had become worse and worse in the past few years, especially the temperature in winter, which was getting colder and colder.
A word suddenly popped into his mind: Xiaoice River Period!
The more Xiao Rui thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible!
In my previous life, I read a report that there were four Xiaoice periods in Chinese history, the first of which occurred in the last years of Yin Shang, which directly led to the Zhou Dynasty Shang. The second time occurred in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which led to the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms. The third occurred in the last years of the Tang Dynasty and led to five generations of rebellion. The fourth occurred at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Especially the Chongzhen period, it was the peak of the fourth Xiaoice period, the north was frozen for thousands of miles, the rivers froze, and the transportation was almost deposed, even the south had a foot thick snowfall, and the temperature dropped to minus forty degrees in some places!
The extreme cold has devastated agriculture, what should farmers do if they don't have enough to eat?
What are you waiting for, anti!
Moreover, the Xiaoice period will not only make the sky and earth suddenly cold, but also cause drought, locust plague, plague and so on.
Xiao Rui sounded that the heavy snow in Kyoto before the end of last year was a rare blizzard in ten years, and this year's weather temperature has plummeted, ten degrees lower than in previous years.
Xiao Rui fell into deep thought.
If it is really the Xiaoice River period, then I have to plan early, take advantage of the Xiaoice River period has not reached its peak, and hurry up to find a way to save myself. How many people will freeze to death by that time... Unthinkable!
Fortunately, the system gave itself potatoes, corn, and peppers, and Shen Wansan is coming back soon.
