Chapter 57: An Eye-Opener 1
Yan Shu sent someone to find Hua Long again, and after Hua Long arrived, Yan Shu asked: "General Hua, there is something I really can't grasp, so I ask you to come over and discuss it." ”
Hua Long said: "Doctor Yan, it's about that. ”
Yan Shu said: "It's that academic exchange, how to grasp this degree, there will definitely be a lot of literati and writers here, talking about it here, and commenting on the current affairs of various countries and kings and ministers, that is, how to grasp the scale of this comment, if we attack and slander our Zhou Dynasty, do we need to control it." ”
Hualong said: "This is still not controlled, if you can't let everyone talk freely, you won't be able to attract real talents." ”
Yan Shu said: "Those who talk all day long are not necessarily honest talents. ”
Hua Long said: "We just need to create an atmosphere, and there will always be some people who are really talented and learn. Our main purpose is to build this place into a cultural and academic exchange center in the world, so that Luoyi can become the yearning of scholars from all over the world, so as to promote the development of the whole society. ”
Yan Shu said: "I see, I thought you wanted to collect some soldiers and other people from here to help fight the war." ”
Hua Long said: "A real Great Soldier and a Great Law Scholar can only produce one in a few hundred years, and we don't count on it anymore. Like Guan Zhong of Qi State, he is a talent that is rare in a thousand years, Guan Zhong is very proficient in economics, philosophy, politics, and military affairs, but there are too many villains around King Qi, otherwise the strength of Qi will be even stronger. ”
Yan Shu said: "General Hua is right, if there is a person like General Xiang in the Qi State, and he cooperates with Guan Zhong, then he will be invincible in the world a long time ago." ”
Hua Long said: "Yes, Guan Zhong's talent is unmatched, that is, there are too few talents around King Qi, and everything depends on Guan Zhong alone." ”
Yan Shu said: "Actually, I think General Hua knows no less than Guan Zhong. ”
Hua Long said: "I may know more things than him, but I am not as profound as him. Hua Long thought: In my time, I searched a lot on the Internet for my knowledge, but I didn't understand it thoroughly.
Hua Long thought of one thing, so he said: "Doctor Yan, if the world is unified, this academic exchange will not be necessary, and people will not be allowed to talk nonsense, and in the future, we will concentrate on education and cultivating talents." ”
Yan Shu said: "Yes, this is what General Hua said: the troubled times are not eclectic, and governing the world must follow the rules." ”
After Hua Long and Yan Shu finished chatting, they went to the fairy dance construction site again, and then went back to the barracks with Ji Xian.
The next day, the envoy of Yan suddenly came to ask for a meeting, Xiang Yu called everyone away, and the envoy of Yan said: "General Xiang, I, King Yan, want to cooperate with you to attack Qi at the same time in the south and north, I don't know what General Xiang's intentions are." ”
Xiang Yu thought: The strength of Qi is strong, and it has just formed an alliance with us, so it is not suitable to attack, and he wants to shirk it, so he said: "Envoy Qi, you should ask King Zhou's opinion on this matter." ”
The envoy of Yan said: "We have asked to see the king of Zhou, and the king of Zhou said that the military affairs are all in charge of General Xiang. ”
Xiang Yu said again: "Yan envoy, the Qi State has nearly 600,000 troops, we have less than 300,000, and there is a powerful Chu State in the southwest, so we need to be on guard at all times, and we are indeed unable to attack." ”
The envoy of Yan said: "It is said that General Xiang led the troops, and 100,000 can be used as 200,000, General Xiang will bring more than 100,000 horses to attack Qi from the south, and our Yan State will send 300,000 troops to attack from the north. ”
Xiang Yu said: "That's all rumors in the world, I, Xiang Yu, lead the troops, and I have the same number of troops to fight hard, and I am a little sure, but I can't fight a siege battle." ”
The envoy of Yan State said again: "I heard that General Xiang, 40,000 defeated 200,000 Vietnamese troops, how can this be a rumor, and General Xiang just sent people to form an alliance with Yan State some time ago." ”
Hua Long interjected: "Envoy Qi, General Xiang is a rising star, everyone looked down on him at the beginning, and he suffered a loss because he was careless. General Xiang's attack on King Yue was only a successful sneak attack, not a frontal attack. In fact, the Yan State can unite with the Jin State and send heavy troops to attack the Qi State from the north, the effect may be better, and then we will send troops to harass the south of the Qi State and drag down part of their troops. ”
The envoy of the Yan State said: "The King of Yan also thought about attacking the Qi State with the Jin State, but he thought that it would be better to attack from the north and south. Since General Xiang said so, I will reply to the King of Yan that if both Yan and Jin send troops from the north to attack Qi, I will also ask General Xiang to send troops from the south to hold back part of the Qi army. ”
After the envoy of the Yan Kingdom left, Xiang Yu asked, "Second brother, do we really want to help fight the Qi Kingdom?"
Hua Long said: "Definitely not, deal with the Yan Kingdom, let them fight, they may not be able to fight, it is best to lose both." Besides, it is better for the Qi State to be weakened, and it will be closer to us, which is good for us. ”
Xiang Yu said: "This Yan country is also a little arrogant, just like the original Yue country, you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick without suffering a loss." ”
Hua Long said: "If Yan and Jin join forces, and the generals who lead the troops have a certain ability, maybe they will really do something." ”
Xiang Yu asked: "Does the second brother think that the Jin Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom will join forces?" ”
Hua Long said: "It is very likely that the Jin State has 650,000 troops, and if we have so many people, the eldest brother does not have to join forces with others, and he will have to fight himself." ”
Xiang Yu said: "Second brother is right, we have so many troops, I have already attacked everywhere, and I really don't want to ally with anyone." ”
Ji Yan suddenly said: "If Jin and Yan attack the Qi State this time, we might as well take the opportunity to destroy the Song State." ”
Xiang Yu said: "Ji Yan is a good idea, what do you think?" ”
Cao Di also said: "I also agree with General Ji's point of view. ”
Hua Long said: "I also agree. ”
Others agreed. Xiang Yu said: "Okay, since everyone agrees, if Jin and Yan really send troops to attack Qi, we will fight Song." ”
Hua Long said: "Then let's wait for the news, at least a month later, when the Yan State attacks the Qi State, a messenger will definitely be sent to inform us." ”
Xiang Yu said: "Okay, then let's disperse." ”
After the envoy of Yan State returned, he reported Xiang Yu Hualong's meaning to King Yan. King Yan thought: They all say that Xiang Yu is powerful, why is he so afraid, is it really that everyone blows him too godly. Since Xiang Yu didn't dare to fight, it was better to send someone to ask King Jin what he meant. So the king of Yan said to the messenger: "You rest for a few days, and then go to the kingdom of Jin to see what the king of Jin means." ”
The messenger agreed, and then withdrew.
After the envoy of the Yan State arrived at the Jin State, he asked to see the King of Jin and said: "King Jin, my King Yan wants to jointly send troops with the King of Jin to attack the State of Qi, Xiang Yu has already agreed, as long as we start to conquer the State of Qi, they will send troops to attack the State of Qi from the south"
King Jin said: "The strength of the Qi country is strong, and we may not be able to fight it, what if we send troops and Xiang Yu does not move." ”
The envoy of Yan said: "King Jin, our two countries join forces, even if Xiang Yu doesn't help, he is very sure." ”
King Yan was still a little worried, and said: "Yan envoy, Qi is not an ordinary small country, this king still has to invite all the ministers to discuss, you go to rest first, there are results in the next few days, this king will pass you over." ”
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom said, "Okay, I will wait for the good news of the King of Jin." ”
After the envoy of the Yan Kingdom went down, the King of Jin thought: The ambition of this Yan Kingdom is also too big, and the Qi Kingdom wants to eat it.
