Chapter 1180: Near and Far Away

PS: The dialogue between Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan in yesterday's chapter has been changed, which does not affect the plot, and the second chapter is in the afternoon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

……

"Soldiers, treacherous ways, so they can show that they can't, use and show not to use, near and show far, far and show near, attack and show not to attack. Profit and temptation, chaos and take, real and prepared, strong and avoid, angry and scratch, humble and arrogant, hard work, kiss and leave......"

"This is the way for soldiers to win when there is a confrontation between major powers!"

At midnight, at Ji Ran's house, Zhao Wuxian's conversation with Ji Ran and Sun Wu was also coming to an end.

For Zhao Wuxian, how can those who become big things deceive? You must know that the reason why Qin was strong in history and why Han merged with the world were all gradually grown under the strategic deception of a series of soldiers. King Qin Huiwen deceived the state of Chu and then attacked its Hanzhong, King Zhaoxiang of Qin deceived the king of Chu Huai into entering the Wuguan and robbing the alliance, Qin Shi Huang deceived the state of Qi to sit back and watch the destruction of the five kingdoms and finally still destroy it...... These methods are not upright, but success and defeat are the unchanging truth in the world.

Between the world and fame, Zhao Wuxian took the former, and if he took the world, he would naturally have fame.

After Sun Wu summed up the intention of this strategy, Zhao Wuxian also said: "Yes, how can the widow not know that it is not feasible for Dong Guolao and Taifu Ling to cross the sea to crusade against Korea? As long as Chen Heng does not endanger the coast, the widow can let him stay in the corner of the North Sea, and he will not have to worry about him for twenty or thirty years. This time, it is just to rely on the matter of the northern expedition to Korea, so that Qin, Chu, Yue and other countries can relax their internal fighting, and when the time is ripe, they will go south in one fell swoop. In a hurry, I am really wronged Mr. today......"

After Zhao Wuxian and Sun Wu explained in detail, Ji Ran already understood the reason why Zhao Hou asked him to accompany him to play a drama of disharmony between monarchs and ministers today, and said with a smile:

"Attacking North Korea openly and secretly plotting the Chu State, this is a good strategy...... Now that the king has made up his mind, let's do it boldly! The old minister is very old, and he has submitted his resignation a year ago, hoping to give this son to the young man, but he was retained by the king, and now he is just helping the king to make this plan more real, and the old minister can also earn a reputation of outspoken ministers to retire, isn't it beautiful? Zigong's skills are old and clear, and he will definitely be able to do a good job as the Taifu Order. ”

But Ji Ran couldn't help but persuade: "But what the old minister said today is also true, Zhao Guo needs to rest, and the south can plan it slowly, not in a hurry......"

"The widow saved, as long as the princes did not cause chaos, the widow would accumulate strength, recuperate, and not take the initiative to attack for the time being, but the Jianghuai battle needs ships, and the matter of shipbuilding should be sooner rather than later, under the guise of the Northern Expedition, in the Yan State Jieshi, Sanqi, Langya, Jimo, and the East China Sea seven places at the same time to build ships, and when the time is ripe, they will go south into Huai."

After saying that, Zhao Wuxian smiled self-deprecatingly: "This time the widow tried his best, just hoping to play the Northern Expedition more seriously, but I don't know if there are any smart people among the princes who can see through it." ”

"Except for Qin Bo and Dashu's eldest son Pu, the princes of the Qin State are all dry bones in the grave who do not want to make progress, and the Bai Gongsheng of the Chu State is a person who is eager for quick success, and there are even a group of diners who want to go further, once they think that the Zhao State is not enough to threaten the Chu State in the short term, they will inevitably not doubt him and increase the intensity of law changes."

As he spoke, Ji Ran suddenly smiled: "If the old disciple Fan Li is still in Yueguo, I'm afraid that this plan won't be able to hide him...... But now he has left Goujian and is nowhere to be found. ”

"If the young uncle can come to Zhao State, there will be a high position waiting for him in the court." Zhao Wuxian promised Ji Ran again: "Sir, let's recuperate at home for a period of time, and on the day of the calculation, the widow should ask Mr. to serve as the master of the three elders!" ”

Zhao Guo's Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao are different from the real power at the beginning of Zhou, and they are already in a high position for the elderly, so they are called the three elders of Fubi, and the Taishi and Taibao have been set as Dong Anyu and Post Wuzheng, the two old ministers, and this last Taifu position, Zhao Wuxian was left to Ji Ran in exchange for his cooperation.

Ji Ran repeatedly excused himself and agreed, at his age, it was impossible for him to become a fisherman like he did back then, and swim in the three mountains and five lakes......

However, after Zhao Wuxian boarded the carriage and returned to Changle Palace, Ji Ran said to Sun Wu next to him: "Elder Guo, the king's plan has deceived almost all the ministers and generals in the court, if you don't tell me in advance, the old man will almost believe it, do you know why?" ”

Sun Wu shook his head: "How can the old and idle clouds and wild cranes know about the prince like Mr. ”

Ji Ran sighed, looked at the carriage gradually moving away, and said slowly dimmed lantern: "That's because, in the past few years, the king's joy and anger have not been visible, and his mind has become more and more elusive to his subordinates, the prince's blood is cold, and what he said is false, who knows what he is thinking in his heart?" ”

He took this opportunity to sue the old man and hand over the real power, which is not only to push the boat down the river, but also to protect himself by retiring with merit...... Companion Jun is like a companion tiger, at this point, Ji Ran and his disciple Fan Li's thoughts are completely consistent, in his opinion, the difference between Zhao Wuxian and Gou Jian is just a little more humane, and he will not be cunning to the heroes and cook them as lackeys.

But that cold and iron-like princely heart is the same!

……

On the warm and spacious four-wheeled carriage, Zhao Wuxian sat with his eyes closed, but the black-clothed leader kneeling in front of him had red eyebrows, reporting to Zhao Hou the reactions of the government and the opposition after today's incident.

"The ministers were in an uproar, and most of them tried to admonish when they went home, and after the monarch strictly ordered the re-admonished person to go to his position, most of the people did not dare to speak again, but there are still a few people who are still not convinced, and I am afraid that tomorrow the court will still fight on the basis of reason."

"Write down the names of these strong admonishers, they are loyal ministers, and after this incident, the widow can use them greatly."

Mei Jianchi said again: "After the ministers deliberately spread the news, the people in the streets and alleys also talked about it, but many people didn't know where North Korea was, although there were some complaints, but the people regarded the king as the sky, and they didn't dare to have any objections to the king's resolution, but they ......."

Zhao Wuxian opened his eyes: "Just what?" ”

"It's just that the scholars in the school palace who know the direction of North Korea are afraid that there will be some discussion."

"Before the plan is completed, let the sacrificial wine of the school palace control the public opinion of the students, the previous dispute between the Dharma and the Rites can allow them to express their opinions, and in extraordinary times, it can also make them shut up and stop talking about state affairs!"

"Yui!"

"You also have to investigate the movements in the counties and counties, the widows annex the princes, and destroy the house of the Qing doctor, there are some clans in each county and county who are dissatisfied with the widows, this time there will inevitably be people who can't help but incite the people in the countryside and confront the government, as long as they find out, immediately let the counties and counties send troops to suppress them, kill the leaders, and reduce the servants to prisoners, and never tolerate them!"

"Yui!" The red eyebrows are already gearing up, ready to do a big job, they are black-clothed, this is for this, the Yulin guard is the sword on the waist of the prince, and the black-clothed is the dagger held by the prince in the dark!

"In addition, the vision of the black clothes cannot be limited to the country, Yan State, Sanqi, and even Song and Taoqiu, this time the widow's stubbornness is a great opportunity for the princes of the Zhao State to become independent......"

Zhao Wuxian smiled: "I really hope that someone can't help but jump out, just right, if you are against one, you will destroy one if you are outnumbered!" ”

Is this plan to attack Korea just for the purpose of strategically "showing the south to the north"?

Zhao Wuxian's deeper plan is to burn a fire in the country, a low-intensity arson, ten years after the establishment of the Zhao State, the divided power will be gathered in the central government again. The hidden contradictions and dissatisfaction of the past will also be revealed one by one, and when exposed to broad daylight, the rebels will not be far from the end......

Before performing the supreme and making the Liuhe, how can you not clean the house first?

……

Zhao Wuxian's Northern Expedition to Korea did not stay on paper, but was put into action in the following months, first because of his opposition to the Northern Expedition, he was removed from the post of Taifu Order, and Taoqiu Zigong took office. Taoqiu also completely lost its independent status and became a free city in Zhao State.

Subsequently, Zhao tightened the domestic trade in grain, copper, iron, salt, leather, sinew, lacquer, timber and other strategic materials, and the grain and straw of various counties began to be closed to the regular position in preparation for war, and grain prices began to rise slowly.

At the same time, while building ships in Jimo, Langya, and the East China Sea, Zhao Wuxian also ordered Zichuan, Jiaoxi, and Jiaodong to start building ships, and each country should deliver 10 large ships, 30 medium ships, and 50 small ships within two years. Although the countries have some complaints, but under the pressure of Zhao Hou, they have to do this, not to mention that Sanqi also hates Chen Heng to the core, if he is allowed to sit on the opposite side of Shaohai, he is afraid that he will poison his descendants.

As for the Yan State, after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Wuxian agreed that they didn't have to build ships, but the Yan army wanted to start eastward into the Daling River Valley to establish a stronghold and prepare for future land attacks, and the Yan Marquis was happy to do so, after all, Liaoxi was the territory they had ruled hundreds of years ago, and since the remnants of Donghu north of Yanshan were no longer enough to pose a threat, with the support of Zhao State, it was not a problem to annex the only tribes.

In July and August, there was a large-scale military movement in Guangling County and Xu County in the south, and the Zhao boats cruising in the Dajiang River and Huaishui suddenly disappeared, and the soldiers also made a northward transfer......

One morning in August, Gao Yu, the advisor of Bai Gongsheng of the Chu State, joyfully informed him of the incident.

"Could it be Zhao Wuxian's trick?"

However, Bai Gongsheng was skeptical, in his impression, Zhao Wuxian had always been a relatively calm prince who took it as his mission to unify Zhuxia, how could he make such a chaotic life?

Gao Yu said: "Lord, no matter how fierce the tiger is, there are times when he naps, after winning the conquest of Qi, Zhao Wuxian was a little carried away, he took the widow of the old Qi Marquis as his own, summoned him immediately, and heard that he also gave birth to a daughter. After presiding over the meeting of Huang Chizhi and becoming the uncle, he was even more out of control, and Zhao Wuxian humiliated Uncle Qin in public and asked him to play music for himself. Then he began to expand to the north, first destroyed Zhongshan, and then attacked Donghu, taking some useless places in the grassland desert to show his martial arts, and being satisfied with the status of the lord of the outside world. ”

"In that case, there is some truth to that."

Seeing that Bai Gongsheng was moved, Gao Yu persuaded again: "Today, the Marquis of Zhao has lost the hearts of the people who want to go north to the overseas states despite the obstruction of his ministers. North Korea is thousands of miles away, and there are more seas, mountains and rivers are separated, this battle will not have results in two or three years, Zhao will definitely make the people tired, the treasury is empty, even if it is not defeated, it is not able to go south, this is the heaven-sent opportunity for the lord to complete the change and let the phoenix of Chu State bathe in fire! ”
