Chapter 129: Bribery
Hua Xiangrong nodded, Hua Yujiang smiled sarcastically, and said, "Then you don't have to go, there is nothing to know about this war." β
Hua Xiangrong asked, "Do you know what I want to know?" β
Hua Yujiang said: "In this war, there is no strategy for strategy, and there is no art of war for the art of war, what is worth knowing?" β
Hua Xiangrong: "......"
Hua Xiangrong: "...... Do you think I'm you? I'm not going to war, I want to know what I'm going to do? β
Anyway, she doesn't know anything about the art of war, what does she do if she understands the art of war? She doesn't fight.
Hua Yujiang said: "Then what do you want to know?" From a military point of view, there is nothing to learn from this war, and it is not ......"
He thought about it for himself, and said, "If you want to say that there is still a place to learn from, that is, the bribery of officials of the Song State by the Qi State is very classic. β
Hua Xiangrong instantly lifted her spirits.
She knew that Hua Yujiang was still talking about the art of military war, but he had already said the focus of Hua Xiangrong's attention.
Isn't Qi Guo's bribery of Song officials the traitor from within the Song State?
The real culprit who leaked the military secrets of the Song State and led to the fall of the Song State.
Was he bought by Qi State, and why did he say it was bought?
According to the results she had speculated before, this traitor was most likely her ancestor and the real reason why she was hunted down and killed by Wu Yuesong. Now that she heard about this person from Hua Yujiang's mouth, how could she not be excited.
Hua Xiangrong Neili calmed down the complicated emotions in his heart, and asked Hua Yujiang: "Yan Shizi's words...... How so? β
Hua Yujiang got another cup of tea, put it in front of Hua Xiangrong, and said, "Why can't it be learned?" Qi Guo's ability to buy people is extremely high. I have read the account of this war, and the Song Kingdom lost extremely strangely, and there must be traitors in the middle.
"In these places where the Qi and Song dynasties fought, the terrain was slightly more complicated than Shangqiu, but at that time, the Qi State arranged troops as if they knew the military deployment of Shangqiu well, and surrounded and broke them one by one. Besides, the war in Shangqiu is urgent, but the reinforcements of the Song State have not yet arrived, how can there be no problem? β
He brought himself another cup of tea before continuing: "The chief general of the Song Kingdom, surnamed Lin, uses soldiers like a god, and is also known as the protector of the Song Kingdom by the people. It's just that he is too old to fight. After Shangqiu was lost, he personally asked for orders to go to the battlefield to command, but before he could leave, he died violently at home. β
Hearing this last sentence, Hua Xiangrong's heartbeat stopped for a while.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and Hua Yujiang asked her, "Can you guess why?" β
Hua Xiangrong's voice trembled a little: "...... Assassinate. β
Hua Yujiang said: "Yes, and it must be a dead man." β
Dead ......
This word reminds Hua Xiangrong of something.
Hua Yujiang continued: "If you can pass the military deployment map of Shangqiu to the Qi State, and assassinate the chief general in the national capital Yuan'an, do you think it will be just an ordinary person or a petty official?" β
Hua Xiangrong said: "No." β
"Of course not." Hua Yujiang said, "There are not many people who can see the shadow of such a thing as a military deployment map, let alone pass it on to the Qi State." This man must be a highly regarded officialβor a high-ranking official. β
Hua Xiangrong instantly felt a little dizzy, she couldn't help but lean against the table and rubbed her forehead.
Hua Yujiang didn't know what was wrong with her, and he didn't notice her abnormality, so he only continued: "So I said that Qi State's ability to buy Song State officials is first-class, and they can even buy such people, isn't it worth learning from?" β
Hua Xiangrong asked puzzledly, "Do you think it's a bribe?" β
Hua Yujiang said: "What else can it be if it's not a bribe?" People in the world do things just for the word money and power, I guess that Qi must have promised this official greater benefits, so that this person was willing to betray Song and die for Qi State. β
Hua Xiangrong asked: "According to your speculation, he must be above 10,000 people under one person in the Song Kingdom, and he already has a lot of power, and he is deeply respected by the monarch of the Song Kingdom, and he must have a lot of money...... If it's really just because of money and power, how can you buy him? β
Hua Yujiang said: "Qi is a big country, Song is just a small country, if the king of Qi promised him any greater benefits?" β
Hua Xiangrong said: "Not necessarily, I think there must be other hidden secrets in this." This person can sit in such a position in the Song Kingdom, and he will definitely not be a brainless person. He betrayed the Song State and defected to the Qi State, even if the Qi State won, he would not get any benefits. A person who has betrayed his master, give it to you, do you dare to use it? β
Hua Yujiang said: "It depends on how you use it." β
Hua Xiangrong said: "Since he can betray the previous master, how can you guarantee that he will not betray you?" β
Hua Yujiang said disdainfully: "No one dares to betray me." β
Hua Xiangrong: "......"
Hua Xiangrong: "I'm just asking, I want to explain that this person betrayed the Song Kingdom, then no one will dare to use him in the future, and the end will only be miserable." not only lost all the honors in the Song Kingdom, but also was scolded by the people of the world. Not only will the Qi State not be reused for him, but it will also bite back, and even kill the grievances of the people in the land of the Song State that he has obtained. Only from the perspective of interests, if you were him, would you betray the Song Kingdom? β
Hua Yujiang said: "That's why I just said that Qi State's bribery of Song State officials is worth learning from." This kind of thing with clear interests, Qi Guo can buy this person, how can he learn? β
Hua Xiangrong: "......"
Soldiers are not tired of deceit, and for those who use soldiers, they can exchange the smallest losses for the greatest benefits, and that is worth learning from. In the war between Qi and Song, the Qi State did it, even if it was such a despicable means used inside, it was also a classic among the despicable.
Hua Yujiang is a soldier who uses soldiers, and he only pays attention to victory and defeat, and only pays attention to methods. He Yan Guo just doesn't have the ability to buy Qi Guo, if he has, I'm afraid he will use it himself.
But what Hua Xiangrong thought about and what Hua Yujiang thought was not exactly the same.
She felt that this person was not bought by Song Guo.
She was considering his betrayal of the Qi State from the perspective of the traitor himself, but Hua Yujiang was from the perspective of the battle of Qi and Song, and they didn't expect to go together at the beginning.
It's just that Hua Yujiang's bribery can't explain this traitor's behavior, he already has this status in the Song Kingdom, what else can buy him?
She thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you think it's possible that this person is from Qi and is an undercover agent sent to Song by Qi?" β
Hua Yujiang glanced at her, didn't know why she thought so, and directly vetoed: "No possibility, your idea won't work at all." β
