Chapter 184: Xenophobia
"Hmph, that old fox. Although this land west of the river is a strategic place, it is also the fat meat that the Qin State has been staring at. This Qin State without Hexi can't get out of the traditional sphere of influence, this old fox wants us and the Zhijia dog to eat dog, phew! It's two tigers fighting. ”
Lu Zhan said lightly with the reply in his hand, and then threw the reply into the wastebasket.
Chen Zhuang and Duan Xiaohan, who were sitting below, also looked angry, this father really didn't take his son seriously. This land west of the river is a hot potato, and it is also a territory like chicken ribs.
"My lord, you also personally participated in the teaching materials in this lecture hall, and it said that you must not follow the enemy's intentions." Duan Xiaohan opened his mouth first, and in his tone, it seemed that he wanted to directly execute Zhiyu, so as to warn the Zhijia.
On the contrary, Chen Zhuang looked at the map, but did not continue to speak. It's like contemplating something.
Now Chen Zhuang is thinking about whether this exchange condition is reasonable and whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. As the commander of the First Army, Chen Zhuang knew that he should try his best to consider the overall situation.
"I think this deal is a good deal, if this Qin State occupies the land west of the river, it will be a huge threat to the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and this Jin State and the Qin State have been fighting fiercely for more than a hundred years for the land of Hexi, if we don't occupy it, this Qin State will also take the opportunity to send troops to attack Zhijia. Instead of ceding to Qin, it is better to take over Hexi and get a bargaining chip to negotiate with Qin. ”
Chen Zhuang said his strategic idea in one breath, and Lu Zhan thought about it carefully, and it was indeed secretly in line with himself. However, Duan Xiaohan on the side retorted again, "If we negotiate with the Qin State, it will inevitably allow us to cede the land west of the river." Once we cede Hexi, we will inevitably let the Hebei family centrifuge, and these Hebei families have always looked down on the Western Barbarian Qin State. If we give up the fruits of Hexi's hard work, it will be in vain. ”
Duan Xiaohan focuses on human feelings and sophistication, while Chen Zhuang considers military value.
This really made Lu Zhan very embarrassed, whether this deal of Zhiyu for Hexi should be done.
"Okay, let's take Zhiyu to exchange the land of Hexi, and remember to send an envoy to Qin State when we accept Hexi, pretending to negotiate to attract Qin's attention. The Qin state focused its attention on diplomatic negotiations rather than military means. While we were negotiating with Qin, we rested our armoured soldiers to wait for Qin. ”
"The lord deserves to be the lord, what a thief!"
Lu Zhan couldn't help but prepare to hit Duan Xiaohan, "What are you talking about, will you speak?" ”
"Wrong, wrong." Duan Xiaohan hurriedly dodged the inkstone thrown by Lu Zhan, "By the way, this is going to get married tomorrow, go to bed early, lord." Don't fall asleep the next day in the cave room. ”
"Don't run! There is no distinction between the lord and the minister, I think you are looking for a fight. ”
The two chased out with a giggle, and Chen Zhuang on the side looked at the two as if they were two children, and he couldn't see the difference between the lord and the minister.
However, seeing that it was almost midnight, if he didn't go back, maybe Lu Zhan would really fall asleep in the cave room tomorrow. That's a ridiculous joke.
Although the concubine is not as beautiful as the main room, the status of the Zhen family is there. The process that should be there is everything, and this is about the face of the Hebei family, and the people who don't know this pomp and circumstance still think it's the main room.
"Master Duan, let's go back first. It's not too early at this hour, so let's let the lord go and rest quickly. My lord, I will retire now. Chen Zhuang grabbed Duan Xiaohan, and Duan Xiaohan saw Chen Zhuang's eyes clearly through the light.
Duan Xiaohan didn't understand what Chen Zhuang meant, and after making an excuse, he left the Taishou Mansion with Chen Zhuang.
Lu Zhan, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes, and thousands of thoughts suddenly came to his heart. According to the routine in the TV series, won't he become a stallion in the future?
This is a bit similar to the Habsburg dynasty that the history teacher said, relying on marriage to unify Western Europe, its own military strength is not strong, but it has many daughters and sons.
It is not that they will have to rely on various marriages to maintain their rule in the future, no, these families are important local forces rather than their own foothold, and only by successfully pulling the people to their side can they truly stabilize their rule.
"Oh, it's only a year, and I've married three wives, and according to this trend, it's not a dream for me to have three thousand harem beauties in the future. It's also good to live such a corrupt and depraved life, no wonder there were not many faint monarchs in ancient times, and it was too tiring to be a virtuous monarch. ”
Thinking about it, Lu Zhan closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
But tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night, some people hope that the Hebei family can marry Lu Zhan, and naturally there are also families who do not want foreign forces to interfere in Hebei.
They are clearly xenophobic, advocating that Hebei should be Hebei of Hebei people. These people naturally hope that Lu Zhan's plan to befriend the Hebei family will come to naught, but the limited forces in their hands are not enough to fight against Lu Zhan, and now they can only obstruct the marriage through other means.
This Lu Zhan's mansion is heavily guarded, and in addition to the soldiers who normally stand guard and patrol, there are also many secret guards who are secretly protecting. Although these people have not been established for a long time, their ability is beyond doubt.
"Everyone, we can't move this Lu Zhan, but because of the marriage, the Zhen family's precautions are much more lax than usual. Let's take the daughter of the Zhen family. An old man in black said in a deep voice.
"But this daughter of the Zhen family was assassinated on the eve of her marriage, and this Lu Zhan and the Zhen family may not give up. If it is found out that we did it, then everyone will know the result. ”
The old man who spoke first said again: "It would be nice to shut up these assassins forever, these assassins are a one-off product."
"I see, let's do it. Let Lu Zhan, an outsider, get out of the territory of Hebei, the owner of Hebei should be our locals, and I can't see the life of outsiders for long. ”
These xenophobic Hebei families are ready to assassinate at night or in the procession to welcome relatives. No one would have thought that anyone would dare to assassinate at this time.
When these assassins touched the perimeter of the Zhen family's mansion, they found that the defense line formed by the guards was difficult to break through, with one post in ten steps and one sentry in five steps. The guards armed with long swords and short knives were vigilant and vigilant.
It seems that it is impossible to assassinate at night, so it will have to be carried out in the team of tomorrow's marriage, and the difficulty and impact of assassination in the street will be much more difficult and impactful than that in the mansion.
