Chapter 162: The eagle stands like sleep, and the tiger walks like a disease
Militarily, Li Miaocai suggested to Lu Chen not to show the edge of the wind army to other countries, but to hide his strength and prepare for the attack.
He said: "Great King, the current Wind Country, the next time it will be the most difficult period of time, therefore, our army should not let Zhang Guo feel threatened, on the contrary, we must let them see that our side has no intention of recovering Hedong at all." ”
Li Miaocai's talent is definitely not covered, and his eloquence can be called excellent, he attaches great importance to language skills, and often likes to give examples, this time he admonished Lu Chen, and also gave an example to Lu Chen, saying:
"My lord, I have heard that the eagle and the tiger are the two most ferocious animals, and once they attack and hunt, they almost never fail. Interestingly, these two most ferocious animals deliberately made themselves very weak before attacking. The eagle stood there with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was napping, and the tiger walked with a weak look, as if he had some serious illness. But this is actually a deliberate show of weakness, not only to avoid being attacked by overexposure, but also to paralyze the opponent. ”
"Therefore, the eagle stands like sleep, and the tiger walks like a disease."
Li Miaocai's suggestion was agreed by Lu Chen. He first asked Zuo Shuang to screen out 200,000 old and weak among the 800,000 soldiers of the Feng Army, and began to camp in a big way, and then pulled 600,000 young and strong soldiers to the barren and populated deep mountains, hiding their traces, and training soldiers and horses day and night in it, building strong bows and crossbows.
And these 600,000 soldiers, Lu Chen's royal order is to let them not pay attention to anything, without his order, they have been strengthening my training! Don't worry about the daily food and grass problem, the 200,000 old and weak people outside are just for them!
Subsequently, Lu Chen sent Li Miaocai as an envoy to Zhang Guo to meet with King Zhang and explain to him that his country recognized Hedong County as a dependent territory of Zhang Guo and hoped that the two countries could establish friendly diplomatic relations.
In this case, the nations only saw that the current Wind Country was very poor, and the army was self-sufficient in Tuntian, and even many officials of the Wind Country did not know that Lu Chen was training the army, not to mention the meticulous work of other countries lurking in the Wind Land.
On the court hall of Zhang Guo, Li Miaocai was eloquent and talking, he first represented Lu Chen, and showed the attitude of Feng Guo to King Zhang, and then told King Zhang, saying:
"His Royal Highness King Zhang, my country has now recognized that Hedong belongs to your territory, but if your country still wants to annex Longshan, it is equivalent to placing the army next to the capital of my Feng Country. And once His Royal Highness has forced our country into a desperate situation, then our country will definitely fight to the death with your country, and at that time, it is inevitable that Qing, Lian and other countries will not take the opportunity to plot against your country, therefore, in my opinion, Your Highness should no longer try to make a truce with our country, and my country is also willing to make a truce with Zhang Guo, and never mention the matter of Hedong again. ”
When King Zhang heard this, he looked up and smiled, and said: "The meaning of the wind envoy, this king understands it, that's good!" Since the Wind Country is willing to recognize the belonging of Hedong and propose to form friendship with each other, then this king is very willing! You can go back and tell Brother Lu that as long as he no longer fights for the heart of Hedong, then King Ben will never point his troops at Longshan in the Wind Country! ”
Li Miaocai hurriedly showed a very happy look, and Shi Li replied loudly: "In this way, thank Your Royal Highness King Zhang, and the foreign envoy will retire." ”
"Haha-" After Li Miaocai withdrew from the main hall, King Zhang Yan Han laughed out loud again. And at this time, Yu Wenlie, the general of Zhang Guoda, stood up and suggested to Yan Han:
"Great King, according to the previous information, the Wind King Lu Chen, is not a mediocre lord, but a man of great talent, and now the Wind Envoy speaks like this, Wei Chen thinks that this is not like Lu Chen's style of acting."
"Huh? The general was overwhelmed. As soon as he finished speaking, another minister came out and said: "Don't you know that the current Fengguo, after civil strife, is already in ruins, the army and the people are difficult to have food and clothing, and its army has also begun to be fully cultivated, and there is no time to practice. He can only recognize Hedong as our territory! ”
"That's right!" Another minister said: "The current Fengguo, if you want to restore your national strength, it will not be completed in a year or two, because they have lost Hedong, and without the support of this large grain-producing county, they will never be able to recover to the point where they can fight with our Zhang army!" ”
"That's right! Now that our country has won the big county of Hedong, we should no longer pay attention to the Feng Country, and should point the finger at the increasingly powerful Yan Country! Moreover, the Longshan County of the Wind Country, many mountains and mountains, if you want to map this county again, the Wind Country will resist desperately, although our country is not afraid, but it is inevitable that the troops will be damaged here, and the casualties will be increased, so that other countries will have an opportunity to take advantage of, and the Wind Country is barren, there is only one Hedong that makes people covetous, and now it has become our territory, other wind lands, what is the use? Now that the Wind Country has sent an envoy to repair, isn't it just in line with our country's policy? ”
"That's right!" Yan Han said with a smile: "What the ministers discussed, it is exactly what this king thinks, there is no need to say more about this matter, my country should also focus on other relatively rich small countries, and only by occupying more and more rich land, can my Zhang country dominate the Central Plains ......"
The national policy of Zhang Guo is to use strong military power to gradually devour the fertile land of other countries around the country in order to strengthen their own national strength, and in the competition for hegemony among the princes at that time, many monarchs also had this idea, because all the kings understood that it was almost impossible to really destroy a country, because when you were going all out to deal with a country, other countries would not sit idly by, and would definitely take the opportunity to stab you in the back! How can you take advantage of it alone!
And Lu Chen's idea is a weapon of the country, and it cannot be shown. Once it is revealed, at that time, it must be Lu Chen who has absolute confidence and national strength support!
Either the wind army will not come out, and as soon as it comes out, the world will definitely shake!
After dealing with the military and political affairs, Lu Chen began to order the Ministry of Industry to build water conservancy for irrigation of farmland. He also demanded that all counties and counties must find ways to establish schools and vigorously promote education.
At this time, the right prime minister Xue Huairen and the prime minister Shi Liuyuan, together with the supervision order Sima Wen, jointly played and told Lu Chen that his country had just implemented a series of policies, and the treasury was empty at this time, so it was not suitable for large-scale construction.
It stands to reason that the joint performance of these three important ministers will definitely make Lu Chen think about it carefully, but Lu Chen immediately refuted the admonitions of the three in the court, threw down a strict order, and said loudly:
"Officials' mansions can not be built! The king's palace can be left unadorned! But these two things must be done by all means! Even if the treasury is emptied! Without water conservancy, how to irrigate farmland! If there is no education! How rich and strong is the country! ”
