The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

Peel back the veil of mystery of many high-sounding major decisions, and what is finally discovered is the ugliest essence - profit.

It can also be seen from this how lovely the businessmen who pursue profit openly correspond to the hypocrites who come and go for political gain, they are just real villains.

Su You has a very strong economic acumen and a commercial country, so naturally he will not take the moral integrity of the hypocrites to heart, in fact, his views on the war also contain interests.

The name of the teacher can be justice, but if there is no war dividend, if you lose your capital and make money, Su You will definitely not do it.

A big factor in Su You's help of Baekje to fight Goryeo was to protect the interests of the Seven Seas Trading Company, and he had always regarded Baekje and Silla as his colonies; -- Goryeo actually moved his confinement, that must have been a great taboo.

It was not until the establishment of the base of Sanshan that Su You officially crusaded against Goryeo, on the one hand, in order to get the name of righteousness, and the most important thing was to get resources.

The result was more ideal than expected, Su You not only signed an unequal treaty, but also received a large amount of grain and gold, which was very helpful for the development of Sanshan; If it weren't for the battle with Goryeo at the Gimseong and Comfort Fortresses in Silla and the Humble Fortress on the Liaodong Peninsula, how could Suyu's Samsan Fortress be established so quickly?

The construction of Sanshan requires a lot of fuel, and then Su You thought of the open-pit coal mine in Changli County, Liaodong, but after the Goryeo people withdrew from Liaodong, Gao Kaidao took the opportunity to occupy this borderless land.

Su You is bound to win the open-pit coal mine in Changli County, but if he really wants to fight with Gao Kaidao's 100,000 army, it is obvious that the gains outweigh the losses, which is the basis for his alliance with Luo Yi.

Luo Yiman thought that this was pie in the sky, but he didn't think that although his territory was expanding, the population and economy could not keep up, which attracted the coalition of the red-eyed Dou Jiande and Wei Dao'er.

Su You sent troops to Youzhou again, originally for Li Jing.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yi's heavy cavalry was gone, and he was disheartened and leaned towards Su You, which also made Su You's territory five more counties at once.

For the extra territory, Su You has his own happy troubles, and he has his own understanding of the territory; He did not just come to liberate the people, he hoped that he would be able to lead the people to a good life, not only to be able to eat and drink every day, but also to live with dignity.

This kind of life is obviously not what a small country and widows should have.

Unifying the Central Plains and realizing the rejuvenation of the great nation is the real idea in Su You's heart, this is the Chinese dream that Su You, an ordinary traverser, really really, ordinary and ordinary

After listening to Yuan Junzhang's analysis of the current situation, Su You had more respect for him, and then asked with a burst of blood, "Why did Brother Wu Zhou send you to Hebei to seek an alliance?" I know you didn't count my invincible fleet at first. Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe and all border. If you join forces, you can also fight against Li Yuan. ”

Yuan Junzhang said with some shame, "Actually, when they first started the incident, we sought an alliance with them, but they refused. And, even if we make an alliance with them, what can we do? It's best to share the spoils of war when it's inevitable that there will be fights. Long-distance friendship and close attack, this is an eternal truth. ”

"That's right." Su You nodded, and asked Yuan Junzhang again, "Then I don't know what Mr. Yuan's strategy is to fight against Li Yuan?" ”

Yuan Junzhang breathed a sigh of relief, crossed his fingers and said, "In order to seize Jinyang, we have actually planned for a long time, and the reason why we have not done it for a long time is just a plan of arrogance."

Su You didn't expose Yuan Junzhang's lies to his face, did Liu Wuzhou really not do anything to Jinyang? They just failed again and again, but they were obviously not prepared to fight with all their might.

It was difficult to dismantle it, Su You just nodded pretending not to know.

Yuan Junzhang also selectively ignored Su You's feelings, and continued to talk eloquently, "Li Yuan poured his elite army south in order to take Guanzhong, and now the elite soldiers and generals are all in the land of Guanzhong, but Jinyang only let Li Yuanji, the boy from Huangkou, guard it. If we suddenly raise elite soldiers to fight him, this timid master is afraid that he will have to flee for his life. As long as we take Jinyang, we can wave our troops to the south and take all the land east of the river along Li Yuan's old road. ”

For the battle plan, including Li Yuan, including Yuan Junzhang or Zhang Xutuo, Li Mi and others, all they think about is that they are closely linked and interlocked, which is obviously the correct process for fighting a smooth battle.

But what if something goes wrong? The result is likely to be that morale is withering and the morale of the army is scattered, just as Li Yuan's army encountered heavy rain in Huoyi that day

Su You knew that the battle plan should not only count the victory but not the defeat, but should count every victory or defeat.

Of course, there will be a few or dozens of results, and as for how many there are, they can be accurately calculated by permutations and combinations; Of course, those who can plan are not necessarily able to actually fight, and it is not only the battle plan that determines victory or defeat.

Listening to Yuan Junzhang's reasonableness, Su You couldn't help but say with some worry, "Li Yuan is scheming, don't take it for granted." ”

"Thank you General for reminding me, it's not that we despise Li Yuan; It was because Li Yuan despised us that Li Yuanji was left to guard Taiyuan. If we fight Taiyuan, we should be eighty percent sure. Yuan Junzhang shook his head and said confidently.

"And then?" Su You really couldn't argue with them, but he obviously forgot whether Liu Wuzhou had taken Taiyuan in the real history.

Judging from the current situation, if Liu Wuzhou really doesn't care about the losses and rushes to attack Taiyuan, it is obviously not a problem to take Taiyuan in one fell swoop, but this kind of thing of "injuring a thousand enemies and losing 800 self-losses" is something that smart people generally will not choose when the whole people are grabbing territory.

Since Liu Wuzhou must fight to the death with Li Yuan, Su You, who is a fisherman, has no reason to stop it?

Yuan Junzhang immediately swore and said, "Then I will wait for the opportunity to cross the river and take the land in the pass, that's all." If the general has not been able to take Guanzhong by then, it is time for us to repay the general; My brother-in-law only wants to be the king of the land, and he is satisfied to occupy the land east of the river. ”

Su You obviously wouldn't believe that Liu Wuzhou would stop at Hedong, but he still nodded and smiled, "Brother Wuzhou's ambition is not too big. ”

Yuan Junzhang smiled and agreed, "Brother-in-law still knows himself, when he was working with the general, he looked forward to the general's horse, how dare he compete with Mr. for the world at this time?" ”

Su You asked with some embarrassment, "You also know that the banner I led out this time was to avenge Your Majesty and kill Yu Wenhua, and now I want to join forces with you to fight Taiyuan, which is really lacking." We've been talking for a long time, what do you want me to do? ”

"General, this is just pretending to be confused," Yuan Junzhang sank his face and said depressedly.

What do you mean by that? Please also ask Mr. Yuan to make it clear. Su You also frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Yuan Junzhang has long known that Su You is an understanding person, so whether Su You is pretending to be stupid or really stupid, anyway, he just thinks that Su You is a smart person, and at this time he is forced to express his position, and his spirit is lifted from then on.

"Although it took only three or five days to go to Hebei, the general's siege method was finally a little heard. The brother-in-law didn't dare to ask the general to mobilize the army, he only wanted the general to support a hundred artillery pieces or five thousand fist-sized things that would explode, and it would not be difficult to seize Hedong" Yuan Junzhang patted Su You's ass while the lion opened his mouth

Su You didn't feel strange that Yuan Junzhang knew that he was using artillery and hand/thunder to attack the city, in fact, although the plan he proposed felt a bit excessive, it was just within Su You's affordability.

The only thing Su You couldn't agree to was that these firearms must not be put in the hands of the enemy, otherwise he wouldn't know how he would die one day.

Su You was embarrassed, "You can probably see the artillery, this thing is too bulky, it is not easy to transport it to Taiyuan from now on, and what use can these artillery pieces be after fighting Taiyuan?" It's not easy to ship."

"Well" Yuan Junzhang was also very embarrassed, he also saw that the artillery seemed to be inseparable from the ship, and it was too difficult to drive the ship to Taiyuan.

The difference between the upper reaches of the Tuoshui and Sanggan rivers is so great that it is basically impossible to sail.

If you take the Yellow River into the Fen River, it will take at least more than a month to turn this big bend, and the daylily will be cold by then! What's more, along the way, you have won the territory of Yu Wenhua, the territory of the Eastern Capital, the territory of Li Yuan and the territory of Qu Tutong

"In this way, I have here a drawing for making catapults, you can use this to make a large number of catapults, not only to attack Taiyuan, but also to attack other places in the future, you can also use local materials, so that your march speed can be much faster."

"Then thank you General, it would be better if Mr. supported some more fist-sized things that can explode" Yuan Junzhang said a little excited, and a little unsatisfied.

There were dozens of catapults in Liu Wu's army, and these catapults were large and only used for defense; Because of the small number, Liu Wuzhou's things are scarce and expensive, and he is reluctant to tear them down to learn the practice, of course, it may be because he is too busy.

Yuan Junzhang didn't realize that he was using a catapult to defend the city to attack the city, so after listening to Su You's thoughts, he immediately got into his arms.

Su You said again, "I can also send five hundred elites to you, each of these five hundred people has ten hands/thunders in their hands, that is, things the size of fists that can explode."

"Really? That's really "Yuan Junzhang immediately stood up and gave Su You a deep salute excitedly, as if he was about to cry.

Su You nodded affirmatively, and added in a big way, "But I have three conditions."
