Chapter 10: The New Concubine (1) 7.22

Why does Jack Ma feel embarrassed?

Chu State made an optimistic estimate at the beginning, because it always believed that the relationship between Chu and Zhou was loose and sometimes tight, and the small fights continued, but the big fights would not. But now the situation of the confrontation between Chu and Zhou is like a rubber band, getting tighter and tighter. It's no wonder that Guo Wei is so-for-tat, because the state of Chu is pressing forward step by step, getting Longwangshu, getting Xuzhou, and even thinking about Yanzhou. If the state of Chu is allowed to gain Yanzhou, then the entire Shandong Peninsula can basically be said to have fallen under the control of the state of Chu. This was extremely unfavorable to the Great Zhou, so Guo Wei gradually adjusted his strategy from the beginning of the war avoidance, and went toe-for-tat with the Chu State.

It is not only in terms of policy and popular competition, but also in the military field. A group of Xiao will be arranged on the border of Chu Zhou, and there are frequent incidents of misfire between the two armies, especially in Xuzhou, the sudden appearance of horse thieves, after Cao Bin was surprised, he became keenly aware that this is someone supporting this horse thief, and nine times out of ten it is the people of Da Zhou who support it! The Chu army had few horses, and for the north of the Huai River, the main measures were defensive measures, building high walls, accumulating grain, waiting for the other party to attack, and the other party was dead and exhausted. However, in the horse thief trouble, Xuzhou City and the county below are nothing, but the common people have suffered, this horse thief does not kill people, but robs things, eats and drinks, and robs them all. In this way, the pressure on the Chu State has increased, and it is obviously not a good idea to move the people of Xuzhou, but the common people have no food, no drink and no money, which needs to be relieved, but after the relief, this is not a consumption of a lot of money and food in the Chu State.

And for this group of horse thieves, there is basically no possibility of appeasement, and it must be suppressed, but there are few horses in the Chu State, how can this be exterminated? In the case that he has no horses and the other party moves quickly, there is only one way to exterminate the horse thief, build a wall, take every step as a camp, compress the range of activities of the horse thief, and finally gather and annihilate him. However, this method requires a large number of troops, and the current concept of the Chu State is to win a local war. Regarding the transfer of a large number of troops, the top and bottom of the Chu State did not have this determination.

Being beaten passively is definitely not the way to go.

For this situation, Li Xiang came up with an idea: Didn't Pseudo-Zhou play horse thieves with us? Let's play pirates with them, and send sailors to set off from Haizhou to destroy the salt farms in Qingzhou, Mizhou, Dengzhou, and Laizhou. In the coastal areas, capture several islands, such as Miao Island opposite Dengzhou, and carry out thorough harassment in the coastal areas of the Great Zhou, not allowing a single boat in the Great Zhou to go to the sea, so that their salt works cannot be opened!

This strategy is really ruthless, but Ma Yun can't do without it, this is actually to promote peace, otherwise the horse thieves in Xuzhou will continue to make trouble. Chu did have 5,000 horse troops, but this horse army was extremely precious, and when they fought with horse thieves, they killed one less horse, and because Da Zhou held Lingzhou and other places, the supply of horses was endless. It's Da Chu who suffers if it goes down!

As soon as the pirates let go like this, the relationship between Chu and Zhou became even worse. This is mainly because Guo Wei and they are still trying to find a way to deal with pirates, and once they feel powerless like Ma Yun is to horse thieves, they will come back to negotiate with Chu State. However, the relationship between the two countries is extremely tense now, and if he is not careful, Murong Yanchao is likely to become the fuse of the Chu-Zhou War, which the Chu State does not want to see. In particular, the state of Chu also needed a certain amount of troops to deter Wu Yue and strive to grab the maximum benefits in Wu Yue.

"Father, are you ready, when are we going to leave the palace?" Looking at Ma Yun, who was thinking about the problem, the eldest prince Ma Yunwen shouted. It turned out that Ma Yun promised Ma Yunwen today to take him and Ma Yunwu out of the palace to see the outside world.

Seeing that his son was urging, Ma Yun retracted his thoughts, he smiled slightly, and said, "Zhang Shun, you will stay here first, and if there is a minister coming, you will deal with it for me." Summoned Li Ergou and asked him to take a few guards to follow me out of the palace. ”

Zhang Shun nodded and pushed out the layout. Although Da Chu passed to Ma Yun here is three generations and four masters, Ma Yun's master is very different from the previous two masters, although he is inherited, but he has made a great creation of Da Chu on the inheritance. He is very assertive and does not change his mind so easily. As long as you make up your mind about traveling, persuasion will have no effect.

Jack Ma took his two sons and turned out of the side door of the palace. These two little guys went out shopping, of course, to find the most lively place. The most prosperous street in Jinling City is Ziliu Street, and the most lively is Lion Street in Dongcheng. The reason why it is called Lion Street is because there used to be many lion dancers here, but over time, it has gradually become a juggling area, and there are many people who set up stalls and play tricks here.

Ma Yun took his son to look at the pole climber for a while, and look at the cockfighting dog for a while. Walking all the way down, the two little guys are extremely excited, 300 meters of a street, walked for an hour to finish, to the street, opposite is a temple. There are clouds in ancient poems: 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. There are many temples in this Jinling. Opposite this temple, the mountain gate is wide, and there is a wooden plaque with gold characters on a black background hanging on the door frame, and three big characters of "Huiyuan Nunnery" are written on it.

Ma Yun walked for a while and felt very tired, so he smiled and said, "Yunwen, Yunwu, let's go to that temple and rest and rest." ”

It cannot but be said that the scholars of this era still have a certain respect for Buddhism. In this regard, Ma Yun did not have too many obstacles and objections, although he did not believe in Buddhism at all. He did this because of the social environment, what atheism is told to the people in this era, but there is definitely no market, especially as an emperor, the most important thing is to guide according to the situation, and only with the situation can he win the hearts of the people, and with the support of the people, he can slowly change his life against the sky. Besides, Ma Yun feels that having a belief is a good thing for the people and for the scholars. With the theory of gods and ghosts, and with hell and heaven, then many people may have a head. People, the most afraid is actually not to believe in anything, such a person can only be reduced to only believing in himself, living only for himself, as for death, everyone is dead, regardless of whether he dies after the flood is monstrous?

Ma Yun walked up the steps, entered the mountain gate, and entered the temple. There happened to be a person walking on the opposite side, with a graceful figure, light steps, and swaying posture, it was Yang Xueyun.
