Chapter 15: Wu Calculations
In the evening of the same day, not long after Sai Qian and Wu Shu returned to the Tongshu Garden, the two walked in the courtyard and chatted:
"Master Wu Shu, in the hall today, Uncle Kuo clearly has bad intentions, why should he undertake his shipbuilding."
The old man naturally knew that his uncle had bad intentions and wanted to prevaricate the gold and silver to the old man, but how could the old man not know.
It's just that you don't know, this Jin State has been obscure for more than 30 years, and the treasury has sufficient money and grain. However, the Jin State was rich and wealthy, and he did not spare gold and silver to build warships. The old man was trying to build a new type of warship to shock the world, and the money and grain of the Jin Kingdom were just used to try his skills. ”
Uncle Kuo has bad intentions, and Wu Shu is certainly not stupid.
Wu Suan had designed a new type of warship before, but it had never been built, and this time the Jin State sent it to the door, just to use the manpower, material resources, and financial resources of the Jin State to build this new type of warship.
In other words, Wu is experimenting with the national strength of the Jin State for him, and if it is done, he can be famous in the world, and the Jin State can also be powerful. failed, Wu Shu also said first, the Jin State must have generals to control and dispatch the fleet, otherwise there will be a warship defeated, and it has nothing to do with me.
To put it bluntly, fleet generals want intellectuals, and literacy alone is useless, let alone illiterate.
When Sai Qian heard the news, he suddenly realized and admired:
"It turns out that the master has been prepared for a long time, and Sai Qian admires it."
"Hehaha...... Wherever and wherever the nations are fighting for hegemony, so that they can take their place. The old man just gave him a life, which is not commendable or commendable. It's you, when you go to the Song Kingdom, the old man will help you with some entanglements. ”
"This matter is not in a hurry, in the next way, I have not received news from the Song State for half a month, and there is no military report from Jin Xuedi's army in the main hall, so the enemy who wants to invade the border should not be worried. I plan to wait a few more days for the news to arrive, and then make a decision. ”
"Well, it is better to be cautious in this matter. But there was one thing that the old man found very strange. ”
"Master Wu is the son of Yan."
"That's it." A flame ignited in Wu Suan's eyes, and then he continued: "It is rumored that this son almost died of a disease a while ago, and since then his temperament has changed greatly, and he was diagnosed with chest paralysis and blood depression, and his life will not be long.
However, looking at Uncle Gong's words and deeds, the old man is very strange. Three days ago, he came to visit and asked about Gongzi Yan, and the old man felt strange. Recently, I have carefully figured it out, and this uncle is afraid that he is going to kill Gongzi Yan. ”
"Gongzi Yan is still young, why did he harm him."
"From the old man's point of view, if Bailiyan can teach well, he will become a great weapon in the future, which is afraid that it will be a big trouble for Uncle Kuo. The Four Kingdoms of the West Sea and the Wei Kingdom were originally five points of one country, if Gongzi Yan was talented, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not do anything in the future. ”
"But Gongzi Yan suffers from chest paralysis and blood depression, and I heard that this disease will not live for fourteen or fifteen years, so why does Uncle Kuo spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
"Humph!" Wu Shu snorted coldly and said: "Military affairs have nothing to do with the elders and children, respect for humility, righteousness and shame, and it is difficult for a woman's kindness to become a climate. Uncle Kuo is a good man, and without some means, he can't be a country of more than ten plants, and he can't stabilize the situation of the countries and pull up the Jin country. It can be seen that his heart for prevention is very serious, even if he is a concubine, he will not let it go. ”
"In this case, Gongzi Yan's doom is inevitable?"
"Don't worry about this, according to the old man's observation, Gongzi Yan is smart by nature, and Uncle Kuoduo has been tempted to fail to take shape. It is not easy to kill this son, at least it will not work to harm him openly, and it is obviously difficult to harm him secretly.
Chest paralysis and blood depression are hidden from time to time, and the slightest inappropriate will lead to death. If Gongzi Yan died, and the Jin State Navy did not succeed, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity. ”
"Then what happens in the future, there is a solution."
Wu Shu twisted his long hair, and said meaningfully:
"Yes and no."
Sai Qian was puzzled and asked:
"Please give me advice."
"King Qi's Baili Gui is getting worse and worse, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not die suddenly in a few years, if it is at that time, the eldest son Baili Lu will succeed to the throne, and Baili Yan will not be embarrassed to leave the country."
"The master's meaning is that the identity of Baili Yan Proton is gone, if he does not die, he will become a chess piece in the hands of the Jin State, and with his anti-disambiguation, he will lead the Jin army into disarray."
"Exactly, at that time, Baili Yan's life will not be long, and the Jin State Navy will be completed, if in the name of fighting for the throne, it will be the right time to raise troops to fight for differences. With the power of the Jin Kingdom, the differences will be destroyed. Subsequently, as long as you kill Baili Lu's heirs and relatives, and help Baili Yan to be the king, the chest paralysis and blood depression will occur again in the hundred miles, and he will die soon.
On the contrary, if Baililu succeeded to the throne, he was also afraid that Bailiyan would be in the Jin Kingdom, and he was worried that Bailiyan would borrow troops to return to China, and he would soon send killer assassins to kill him in order to prevent future troubles. ”
"According to the master's words, how can this danger be solved."
"According to the old man's opinion, the Jin State may not let the Qi Kingdom redeem people, and the Qi Kingdom will not redeem Baili Yan with gold, silver and jade silk.
First, Wei Guo is eyeing the tiger, if Baili Yan returns, Wei Guo will inevitably be unreasonable and ask for the account of the robbery of the proton back then. Second, the country is already a state under the defense of the country, and it has paid tribute for many years, and the national strength is empty, and it is really difficult to have the financial resources to redeem Gongzi Yan. Therefore, only the death of Bailiyan can solve the disambiguation of the country's heart disease.
However, there is still a glimmer of life in this matter, the Jin State sharpens its knives, and there is bound to be a war. If Zhiguo perceives Jin Guo's intentions, how does Zhiguo feel? ”
"The master is saying that Zhiguo strikes first!"
"Quite possibly. If Zhiguo strikes first, Gongzi Yan can return it to Qiguo in exchange for Qiguo's property and manpower. Zhiguo has been on the battlefield for a long time, and although the Jin State is strong, after all, there has been no major war for more than 30 years, and it is not yet known whether the soldiers can fight. ”
Since the defeat of the Jin State 36 years ago, there has been no war of more than 30,000 people between the Jin State and the Zhi State, and the Jin State has bullied the small country of Xianguo in the northwest and the Song State with few people in the south, but the overall combat experience is seriously insufficient, and the scale of the campaign of more than 50,000 people has not been launched.
The largest battle, also twelve years ago, the Central Plains coalition troops went south to resist Jin Xuedi's invasion of the Central Plains, and the Jin State sent 400,000 troops south, because thousands of miles of grain and grass were scarce, the war was very unsmooth, and the casualties were still very large.
In recent years, it has basically been a peaceful day and the people have not known the war, and it is difficult to say how much combat effectiveness such a peaceful army as the Jin State can have. Especially at the level of military commanders and generals, it is rare to have the experience of commanding more than 100,000 troops and fighting major battles, let alone commanding 500,000 or 1 million troops.
Wang Yanfei, who was the most capable of fighting, was also relegated to the south to be a metropolitan governor, and it is difficult to say how much the command ability of most generals is.
The neighboring country of Zhiguo is different, in the past 50 years, it has been at war for almost 30 years, and the Changsun State has been fighting, Sun Guoda, Xu Guo, Song Guoda, Xianguo Da, Jin Guoda, Jin Guoda, Jin Guoren, and almost all the surrounding countries have been swept over one by one. Therefore, the generals of the Zhiguo army have rich combat experience, and the combat skills of the soldiers are very good, but they are not without problems.
Zhiguo relied on the land area of the Jin State to be larger than the Jin State, with a population of more than 46 million, and there were many iron mines, copper mines, coal mines, and forests, and the productivity was slightly higher, and the army was very fast. But after decades of fighting, it has embarked on the road of reckless militarism.
Why did Gong Shukuo dare to touch the tiger's buttocks, it was that he saw that Zhiguo's internal affairs were weak, and he sat back and waited for the opportunity, and when Zhiguo had already tied up his hands and feet, wrapped them into zongzi, and lay in the ICU, he suddenly gave him a knife to grab the fruits of the overlord of the Central Plains.
If Zhiguo and Jin Guo are on the bar first, Bailiyan will have the use value to extort from Qiguo. Of course, Qiguo may not give it, but it doesn't matter, once Jin defeats Zhiguo, it will be the turn of the backhand to clean up Qiguo.
Therefore, if Zhiguo strikes first, Jin Guo will inevitably trade Baili Yan first in exchange for the benefits of Qiguo, and will not sit back and wait for the war to be decided halfway through.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the Jin State has the confidence of victory, that is, it will not use Baili Yan to blackmail the country. Therefore, Wu Suan's opinion that whether Bailiyan can escape or not depends on Bailiyan's own creation.
But such a child is involved in the struggle for hegemony among the nations, and it is inevitable that individuals will be moved by compassion. and Sai Qian made it clear to him, and Wu Suan suddenly changed his words and said:
"If you want to say that there is no solution, it's not that there is nothing, but I'm afraid this matter can't be done."
Hearing this, Sai Qian was puzzled:
"Why can't you do it?"
"It's difficult, but if it happens, it will add a few variables to the world."
"Oh, please ask the master for advice."
"Huh...... It's not about teaching. Wu Shu twisted his white hair, and then said: "If you don't go to the Song Kingdom, what will you do in the future?" ”
"Naturally, the city and the mountains and forests are in the mountains, and the master still wants to stay and serve the King of Jin."
"Definitely." Wu Suan shook his head and laughed, and then said: "Actually, Gongzi Yanzhi is difficult to break, but you have to be out of the horse." ”
"Why do you have to be down?"
"You think, Gongzi Yan is a nobleman but not a nobleman, if you teach martial arts, strengthen his physique, and refine his martial arts, Gongzi Yan will be able to protect himself in the future."
"The master must be protected by his martial arts."
"Exactly."
"But this matter is very difficult, not to be stingy, but not to do it."
"The old man knows that you are in a dilemma, but the royal guest is not exactly the one who hoes the strong and helps the weak, and the righteous people who help the righteous. In this case, it doesn't matter if you are given a concubine martial arts, and the old man has not asked you to assist in the country. Besides, thou shalt walk through the market, and thou shalt thou shalt take it. Living in Proton Mansion, how can you slack off your wine and rice bag with good food and drink every day. ”
It is not impossible for the master to say so. But after a long time, wouldn't the king of Jin and the prime minister of Jin be suspicious? ”
"No, Baili Yan is the son of the royal guest, if Uncle Kuo wants to cause harm, where will he put the Jin Kingdom, and where will he put you in the Qian. Not to mention that this uncle is over sixty years old, I'm afraid his life will not last long. Although I see that the king of Jin has great ambitions, he has no opinions, and he has to consult his uncle for everything. If Uncle Kuo dies, who will assist the King of Jin.
Therefore, the old man thought that Uncle Kuo would never dare to harm Gongzi Yan. The key to this matter is that you stuff Qian, if you are willing, you can ensure that Gongzi Yan is peaceful for ten years, if you are unwilling, then there is no other way. ”
"The master's intentions are known, but why does the master want to set up this plan to curry favor with Qiguo?"
"Do you think the old man is willing, do you know who is in the home country of the head of my labor faction?"
Hearing this, Sai Qian suddenly realized:
"It's not a Qiguo!"
"Exactly. My biological mother is a native of Qiguo, who lost her father since she was a child, and later buried her mother, so she had to devote herself to the Ligong faction as an apprentice. The old man entered the promotion this time, if he was not paid in the future, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the old man's life. ”
It turned out that Wu was not a good thing, he was thinking about helping Bailiyan, but he was also selfish, he was worried that the Jin Kingdom would not be able to pay the full amount of money, and it would inevitably lead the Ligong faction to laugh at him in the future, so he stretched out his hind legs to block the mouth of the head of the house.
It's good that the biological mother of the head of the house is also from Qiguo, Bailiyan is the proton of Qiguo, and he always has compassion for himself. Wu Suan is now pulling Bailiyan, and he is also wearing a moral hat for the master, so that the head obviously can't say anything, this is the back road of Wu Abacus's calculation.
