Chapter 687: Wei Wangyu's Ambition (Third Update)
Taoyi. Duan Ganzi hurriedly got out of the carriage and walked towards the main hall in front of him.
Ever since Wei Wangyu and Zhao Dan broke up unhappily and returned to Wei, Duan Ganzi has become the busiest person in the entire Wei Kingdom.
The deployment of materials and troops, the collection of people, the dispatch of local officials, and a lot of heavy government affairs pressed on this Xiangbang lord, which made Duan Ganzi feel breathless.
So at this moment, Duan Ganzi's heart was a little resentful of Wei Wangyu who suddenly summoned him into the palace - didn't you see that he was busy, if you have something, you can go to the Xiangbang Mansion to talk to me.
Of course, such a complaint can only be thought about in his heart, Duan Ganzi packed up his mentality and walked towards the main hall.
When he reached the door of the main hall, a man happened to come out of the hall.
After seeing Duan Ganzi, the visitor hurriedly saluted Duan Ganzi: "I've seen Duan Qing." ”
Duan Ganzi glanced at this guy up and down, and found that this person was not a person Duan Ganzi knew, his appearance was also mediocre and featureless, and his clothes were very simple, so he didn't take this person to heart, and after answering, he kept walking towards the hall.
He also wanted to settle Wei Wangyu's affairs as soon as possible, and then go back to deal with his own government affairs.
Duan Ganzi soon met Wei Wangyu.
"The minister has seen the king!"
Wei Wangyu looked in a very good mood today, and smiled at Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing is here, sit down." ”
Duan Ganzi was in a hurry to go back to deal with business, so as soon as he sat down, he asked, "I don't know why the king summoned his ministers to come?" ”
Wei Wangwei smiled and said, "Duan Qing, the widow wants to ask how the preparations are now?" ”
Duan Ganzi showed a wry smile on his face, and said to Wei Wangyu: "King, to be honest, the situation of preparing for war is not optimistic. ”
"What?" When Wei Wangyu heard this, he was furious: "Isn't it all done yet?" ”
Duan Ganzi nodded and said with a wry smile: "The people have only collected sixty percent, and the materials are only eighty percent, and the officials are scarce now...... King, you lack everything. ”
Wei Wangyu slapped the table, his eyes staring at Duan Ganzi like a knife: "Duan Qing, the widow needs an explanation!" ”
It's no wonder that Wei Wangyu is angry, after all, everyone knows that Wei is about to go to war with Zhao, and the logistics preparations have not been done well at this time, isn't this nonsense.
Duan Ganzi faintly sweated on his forehead, and hurriedly explained: "King, last year's war really caused too much consumption to the country. ”
Duan Ganzi didn't care much, and directly poured beans into a bamboo tube and told all the situation.
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, Wei has not come out of the defeat against Zhao a few years ago.
The treasury of Wei was in the city of Daliang, and due to the flooding of Daliang City, the treasury of Wei naturally sank into the surging river.
In these years, there was no money, and everyone was only serious about gold and silver, so the most direct result of the flooding of the treasury was, of course, that Wei had no money.
Under such circumstances, Wei Wangyu had to repair the palace and use troops externally, both of which required money, which led to the extreme financial tension of Wei.
As a last resort, Duan Ganzi could only extend the service period of those people's husbands, and the people's husbands who only needed to serve for three months were directly extended to half a year or even a year, using these free labor to achieve the goal of saving money.
But this is not without drawbacks, the most direct drawback is that the situation of evading military service has begun to appear in the territory of Wei, and at the same time, due to the lack of labor due to the excessive transfer of people, the grain output of Wei in the past two years is not as good as before, and the two phases are superimposed, and it has become the current situation.
Duan Ganzi still has a sentence that has not been said, that is, the current Wei State is actually very unstable, and the people's grievances are boiling, and many people have opinions about the combination of Wei Wangyu and Duan Ganzi.
Wang Wei's face sank like water, and he shouted at Duan Ganzi: "Why don't you report these things to the widow? ”
Duan Ganzi, who was stretching out his hand to wipe his sweat, was startled by Wei Wangyu's angry shout, and hurriedly said: "King, this matter has been reported many times, and the king only needs to check it out." ”
Wei Wangyu thought about it for a while, and found that he seemed to have really seen the relevant twists and turns, and more than once.
It's just that in the past two years, Wei's foreign wars have progressed very well because of the Zhao State, and Wei Wangyu only has victory and land in his heart, so how can a little food crisis and the grievances of the mud legs be taken to heart by Wei Wangyu? Now that it has finally reached the point where it is today, it can be regarded as self-inflicted.
Wei Wangyu took a deep breath and said to Duan Ganzi: "No matter what method you use now, in short, the number of military rations and civilian husbands must not be less!" ”
Duan Ganzi was dumbfounded for a while, and said in his heart, I am not the Taiyi God in the sky, where did these military rations and civilian husbands come out?
But Wei Wangyu's words have all been said about this, what can Duan Ganzi do if he doesn't accept it? I had to deal with it with a bitter face.
Wei Wangyu glanced at Duan Ganzi, slowed down his tone, and said, "Duan Qing, the widow knows your concerns, but you have ever thought about why the widow broke with King Zhao at this time? ”
Duan Ganzi shook his head a little dazedly.
A look of disappointment flashed through Wei Wangyu's eyes, but this Wei monarch showed great patience in a very rare way today, and explained to the henchman in front of him.
"Duan Qing, now that Zhao is powerful, he is a well-deserved overlord in the world, this is a well-known thing. Since he is the overlord, then Zhao Guo will definitely not allow other overlord countries to appear, otherwise Zhao Guo will encounter a serious challenge! ”
Duan Ganzi moved his lips, but he still couldn't help but say, "However, how can this world overlord last long?" ”
In Duan Ganzi's understanding, in the past two hundred years, the Zhao State has been in turmoil, and I don't know how many hegemonic countries have emerged, but it has always been you who sang and I appeared, and each led the way for decades.
Under such circumstances, even if the Zhao State is powerful now, Duan Ganzi still subconsciously thinks that such a powerful Zhao State may last for decades, but it is definitely not right to be strong for a long time.
In fact, this is also the opinion of many people in the land of China today, in the eyes of these people, the Zhao State has been strong for decades since King Zhao Wuling, and it is time for it to almost flourish and decline.
Wei Wang Yu snorted and said: "That's right, although the strength of the Zhao State cannot last long, but you must forget that as long as the Zhao State is still strong for one day, then it will resolutely suppress any country that may become the hegemon, just like the Qin State did back then!" ”
Duan Ganzi nodded, and suddenly realized: "So what the king means is that even if the king doesn't go against the Zhao State, the Zhao State will come to attack the king?" ”
"That's right!" Wei Wangyu nodded very affirmatively, and said: "Then Zhao Guo's vigilance against widows and Wei is obvious to all!" Not to mention anything else, if there was no King Zhao to interfere with it this time, the widow would have swallowed all the two eastern counties of Chu State a long time ago! ”
When he said this, the corners of Wei Wangyu's eyes twitched, obviously still worried about this.
After all, Wei Wangyu still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "The widow understands that as long as the Zhao State is still strong for a day, then it is impossible for the Wei State to revive after all." So this time the widow is going to fight with this damn Zhao State, so that the whole world knows that the widow and the Wei State are not so easy to bully! ”
When Duan Ganzi heard Wei Wangyu's impassionedness, he was certainly a little excited in his heart, but he couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly persuaded: "King, even if there is the participation of the Qin State in the war, then it may not be able to defeat the Zhao State." ”
Wei Wangyu smiled slightly, and said: "Duan Qing's concerns, of course, the widow is aware of them, it is indeed difficult to achieve great things just by joining forces with the Qin State, but——"
Wei Wangyu deliberately lengthened his tone, until Duan Ganzi showed an extremely curious expression, satisfying Wei Wangyu's vanity, and then said slowly without hurrying: "But what if you add Qi and Korea?" ”
"What?" As soon as Duan Ganzi heard this, he immediately screamed, but immediately Duan Ganzi realized his gaffe and hurriedly pleaded guilty to Wei Wangyu.
"It doesn't matter." Wei Wangyu waved his hand, after all, what he wanted at the beginning was this effect, the more Duan Ganzi was surprised, wouldn't that prove the surprise and success of Wei Wangyu's strategy?
Therefore, Wei Wangyu did not pursue Duan Ganzi's mistakes, but said happily: "Don't hide it from Duan Qing, the widow has already agreed with King Han, as long as Qin Weiqi and Zhao Guo are at war, then Korea will immediately dispatch to catch Zhao Guo off guard!" At that time, the widow wants to see how the Zhao State can parry the attack of these four countries! ”
As Wei Wangyu spoke, he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows.
In fact, not only Qi and Korea, but even Wei Wangyu of Yan sent envoys, but he didn't reply for a while.
Of course, whether Yan Guo joins is actually just a icing on the cake in Wei Wangyu's view, with South Korea's backlash, Wei Wangyu feels that this time the overall situation is definitely decided!
Duan Ganzi was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that this guy, who he thought he was just a mediocre monarch on weekdays, would make such a big battle!
What made Duan Ganzi even more worried was that in addition to uniting with Qin, when was Korea and Qi persuaded by Wei Wangyu, Duan Ganzi, who was supposed to be a good confidant of Wei Wangyu, didn't know at all!
That's not a good sign.
Wei Wangyu saw Duan Ganzi's worries, and smiled at Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing, don't worry, the matter of the widow persuading King Han and King Qi is actually not deliberately concealing Duan Qing, otherwise he wouldn't be the first to tell Duan Qing now, isn't it?" ”
"This time the battle of Zhao will depend a lot on Duan Qing, and the widow is here to guarantee that as long as this time the battle against Zhao can be successful, then Duan Qingru's position as the king is a sure thing!"
"Fengjun?" These two words exploded in Duan Ganzi's heart like a bombshell, and suddenly made the Wei State Prime Minister so excited that he didn't know why, and all the grievances and worries were thrown outside Java, and he got up directly to pay homage to the King of Wei, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, even if the ministers are broken, they will complete the king's trust!" ”
Looking at Duan Ganzi, who seemed to have left like a chicken blood, the smile on the corner of Wei Wangyu's mouth couldn't help but slowly spread.
Everyone in the world is said that the widow is not as good as Xinling Jun, and even worse than that Zhao Dan child, but the widow wants to prove to the world this time that everyone is wrong, they all underestimate the ambition of the widow, and even more misunderstand the talent of the widow!
