Chapter 315: Eyeing the State of Chu

Gu Fengxun was amused by him, and said: "Your Majesty, you have every opportunity, and what kind of anger you put with a frightened bird, the ministers don't take it to heart, don't worry about it, if you are really angry, send a few more boats of soldiers and silver money to Wudi, and then ask for a few talents who are good at training soldiers from Zheng Hou to hand them over to Helian Loufang, and ask for a few strategists from Han Lingyin who are sharp and good at combining vertical and horizontal, and send them to him together." ”

Ling Han's eyes lit up, this is to do something big, Wu Di is already chaotic enough, but on the whole, it is still the Qin State that has the advantage, Helian Loufang is a monk after all, not a professional rebel, and although there is an alliance between Hexian and Yuan County, it is also forced by the situation, and differences have always existed, which leads to the fact that after the Sword Warrior Army finally gained a firm foothold, it will no longer advance an inch, and under the stalemate, the internal instability of the Sword Warrior Army will definitely be at a greater disadvantage. At this time, Xi Chu's support for the Sword Warrior Army was very important, and it could even play a role in reconciling contradictions.

Gu Fengxun hadn't finished speaking, and said: "Ji Yan and his remaining subordinates have now arrived in Wu Land, so there is no need to let him come back, directly let him assist Helian Loufang and establish the sentinel of Fengyi Terrace, so that in terms of intelligence spying, even if it is not as good as Qin State, it will not be too bad." ”

He had already sent a message to Ji Yan about this matter, and now he mentioned it, but it was just a call to the Ling Han Clan. Ji Yan made a big mistake in responding to Xia Min, and was worried about how to make up for it and get back a credit, as soon as Gu Fengxun's letter arrived, he thought about it for a long time, and then set off to join Helian Loufang.

Ling Han scratched his chin and thought about it carefully, and said, "There are soldiers, ministers, armor and food, and now even the secret guard organization has it, Gu Qing, do you really want to help Helian Loufang restore the country?" ”

A chaotic Wu land is beneficial to Western Chu, although Ling Han also hopes that Wu land can restore stability and let the people there live a peaceful life, but if he helps Wu to restore the country, how can he feel as if he is pit himself?

Gu Fengxun chuckled lightly and said, "No, the minister is just helping the sword warriors so that they can be evenly matched with the Qin State." Your Majesty, although Zhao Hao made a stupid move, you should not underestimate him. If Western Chu did not vigorously aid the Sword Warrior Army, at most two months, the Qin State would inevitably be able to suppress the Sword Warrior Army and retreat. ”

He is not Ling Han, he still has a benevolent heart, and all he thinks about is interests. His plan was to use Wu to completely drag down the Qin State, so that the Qin State would fall into the quagmire of war, and he had to send more troops to Wu Di to suppress it, and invest more financial resources to subdue the Wu Land, so that the Qin State would not have the spare strength to make any more moves against Western Chu, and Western Chu could go all out to conquer Chu first.

That's right, after the marriage between King Jin and Zhao Shenxiang became a foregone conclusion, Gu Fengxun's eyes had already been set on Chu State. Although, the Qin State and the Western Chu court all knew that this marriage was a disguise, purely to cover up the elopement of the two, the alliance between the Qin State and the Western Chu seemed to be a success on the surface, but in essence it was a failure. But others don't know, where can ordinary people see so deeply, they only know some news on the bright side, although the "assassination of Qin" case seems to have created an obstacle to the alliance between the two countries, but the result seems to be that the Qin Emperor recognized the mistake, the Western Chu Emperor was magnanimous, or issued a marriage letter to the Qin State, and if the marriage is completed, the alliance will be formed.

The alliance between the two countries, not to mention other influences, the first thing to settle down is the people's hearts, especially Western Chu, the people are really relieved, there is no possibility of war between Qin and Western Chu, then they can muster up their strength and scream to engage in Chu State, especially the Chu Emperor actually did the slaughter of the city in Wu Land, it is really a tyrant, if Western Chu is broken through by Chu State, wouldn't it be the people of Western Chu who were slaughtered. Surrounded by evil wolves, how can they sleep in peace, fight, must fight, overthrow the Chu Emperor, return the two Chu to one, and reproduce the glory of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Well, the wave of overthrowing the Chu Emperor that emerged among the people of Western Chu is naturally indispensable to Gu Fengxun's efforts, but there is no doubt that it is indeed time to solve the Chu State. Instead of fighting a war of attrition with the Chu State, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity that the Qin State can't take care of, and devote all his strength to the battle. After all, relative to the state of Chu, the state of Qin is the real strong enemy.

After Ling Han knew Gu Fengxun's plan, the whole person was a little messy, well, this description was a bit exaggerated, he was actually just stunned for a while, and then asked, "It's all in one battle...... Unlikely, right? ”

Of course, he hopes to get the Chu State as quickly as possible, but reason tells him that this is impossible, Western Chu has developed very well in the past two years, which is in obvious contrast to the chaos of Chu State, but no matter how chaotic Chu is in the country, the background is still thick, according to the current trend, it is enough for the Chu Emperor to spoil it for another ten or eight years, and Western Chu will develop for another ten years and eight years, and it will have enough advantages for the Chu State to say that it can be completed in one battle.

Fighting the Chu State right now is not that Ling Han is arrogant, but that Western Chu does not have this ability. If you force it to fight, I'm afraid it will still be the result of a war of attrition.

"The minister is not good at warfare, but the minister's idea has been discussed privately with the Marquis of Ziyi, and the Marquis of Ziyi has made a strategy book for the minister to see, why don't you take a look at it first?" Gu Fengxun took out a stack of manuscripts from the bookshelf and handed them to Ling Han.

Ling Han: "......"

When was this? After Xia Min came, most of Gu Fengxun's affairs were handed over to Xia Min to take care of, but he concentrated on discussing with Xie Jinyan how to destroy Chu?

This strategy was done very carefully, Ling Han looked at it for a full hour, and then he took a rough look at it, and thought about it for a whole hour, thinking clearly about several key points in the strategy, and then made a summary himself, omitting the details, Xie Jinyan's strategy was deduced based on the reality of "food shortage in Chu State".

There will be a shortage of food in the state of Chu?

Ling Han couldn't believe it, there have been no natural disasters in the Chu State in the past two years, according to common sense, it is impossible to have a shortage of food, even if the border between the two Chu has been fighting, the demand for grain and grass is indeed quite large, but Western Chu can hold on, and there is no reason why the Chu State, which has a thicker foundation, will not be able to hold on.

But Xie Jinyan's analysis is not unreasonable, he speculated from two major situations that Chu State is short of food, one is that the behavior of the Chu Emperor has led to the people's misery, and even forced some people of Chu to abandon their homes and flee to Western Chu, it can be seen that there will be a large number of fertile land in Chu that no one cultivates and the people are displaced.

The second point is that the Chu Emperor raided Wu Di, seized the city and burned and robbed it all, it stands to reason that the war between Chu and Western Chu has not disappeared, and Chu has no need to seize the city of Wu Di, not to mention offending Qin State, and still ending up in Wu Land with a loss of popular support, Chu Huang, who has a bad reputation, now puts the tyrant's hat on his head, which is definitely a big disadvantage for dominating the world. Xie Jinyan believes that the Chu Emperor also had to do it as a last resort, the Chu State is short of grain, and there is no way to buy it, and the grain of the Wu State is either taken by the Qin State or trafficked by the Western Chu State by sea, what else can the Chu State do, it is only robbed.

What is the war fought? It's logistics. Grain and grass are definitely the most vital part of logistics, without grain and grass, who is willing to fight for the Chu Emperor. Therefore, the first suggestion put forward in Xie Jinyan's strategy is to use various means to make the food shortage situation in Chu State deteriorate rapidly in a short period of time to the point where it is impossible to even get the grain and grass for the war. Of course, this has to be done by Fengyi's secret guards, first of all, we have to find out the granaries of the Chu State, especially those that are secret.

In addition to logistics, there is also an extremely crucial aspect of fighting a war, that is, intelligence. Therefore, the second suggestion given by Xie Jinyan is to destroy the Dongzhen Fusi.

Of course, this also has to be guarded by Fengyi.

As long as he does these two things, Xie Jinyan will be confident enough to sweep on the frontal battlefield, and within two months, he will be able to fight to Chudu. Of course, there is also a premise for this, Xi Chu must first ensure that he does not drop the chain, the grain and grass must be sufficient, the armor must be fine, and the most important thing is that he must trust him and not pull his hind legs.
