Chapter 20 Countermeasures
"I wonder if Mr. has any countermeasures to solve my Chen Guo's danger?"
Ye Ming stared at Zhuang Xia, expecting his idea. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Will Zhao and Wu easily withdraw their troops?" Zhuang Xia asked.
"No, it won't. ”
"If you want them to retreat, what price will it take?" Zhuang Xia asked again.
"Twice as much as the previous war. I Chen Guo can't bear it. Ye Ming frowned.
"Then is Chen Guo's troops enough to deal with it?" Zhuang Xia asked.
"Although Chen's army was not weaker than that of Wu and Yue, it was far from enough to deal with the combined forces of Zhao and Wu. Ye Ming responded to Zhuang Xia's questioning, and the more he talked, the more frustrated he became.
After asking, Zhuang Xia said slowly: "For the alliance of the two countries, Chen Guo must go all out to defend. This is Chen Guo's attitude and momentum.
If there were not enough soldiers to defend, Zhao and Wu would definitely think that Chen Guo was easy to bully, and they would also think that Chen Guo was bent on seeking peace, and he would gain an inch. ”
Ye Ming nodded, he understands this, in the face of a strong enemy, at least he must have a tough attitude, otherwise people are good and are bullied, and the weakness and retreat of the country will be regarded as the object of plunder.
For example, in the Song Dynasty, the weaker they were, the more fierce the plundering of foreign races, their appetite became bigger and bigger, and they violated more and more, so it was useless to be blindly weak.
"How many troops is appropriate? Chen Guo's national strength is only 1440,000, and he has to defend the imperial city to prevent Chu from taking advantage of the fire to rob, and the number of troops that can be used is only 70,000 or 80,000, but these numbers are no match for the 200,000 combined forces of Zhao and Wu. ”
Yeming still has a headache.
"Chen has 120,000 soldiers, but 50,000 of them can be secretly recruited, and there is no requirement for combat effectiveness, and the time is too short to train. However, the military appearance must be prepared and cannot be known by Zhao and Wu.
In this way, the need for troops can be alleviated, although it looks fat, but the enemy knows it, and will definitely think that Chen Guo has the determination to fight to the death.
With such determination, the enemy will definitely be jealous and will not be easily offended, because if war really arises, it will be a huge consumption for them, and they will not dare to fight easily. ”
"120,000 against 200,000, the formation is weaker than the enemy, the strength is asymmetrical, and they are very likely to go to war. Ye Ming said.
"Then find help, the state of Chu will not help, the monarch of the state of Chu can't wait to take advantage of the fire to rob, and it is good if he does not send troops.
However, the Yue country can fight for it, because Wu and Vietnam have enmity.
Although the Yue State is weaker than the Wu State, it is still possible to send 30,000 or 40,000 troops, so that the gap between 160,000 and 200,000 is not too big, and the Zhao-Wu coalition army will not fight easily. ”
"This matter is thankless, how can Yue Guo agree?"
Zhuang Xia said: "Coercion and temptation." If the state of Chen is defeated, the state of Wu will grow, the more Wu is the enemy, and if the monarch of the state of Yue is smart, he will not let the state of Wu grow.
Moreover, once Chen Guo is beaten down, I am afraid that the next one will be Yue Guo, and the national strength of Yue Guo is not as good as Chen Guo, how can the end be predicted.
In both cases, you can give a generous reward, which is definitely less than the indemnity for defeat. Even, you can determine the alliance between the two countries, communicate with each other, and promise that if Wu sends troops to cross the country, Chen can help.
If you personally negotiate with the monarch of the Yue Kingdom, you will definitely succeed.
When the strength of the enemy and us is at one level, whether there is a war or not, the situation is far better than it is now.
At that time, if there were peace talks, the cost would be small. ”
"Mr. is talented, but there is a lot of risk, and there should not be too many people to envoy to the country, and the time is too short, I'm afraid it's too late. ”
Ye Ming looked at Zhuang Xia with dry eyes, and what he asked for was self-evident.
"I know that my plan for your ministers may also be able to think of it, but it is too risky, or too difficult to operate.
For example, if you go to Yue Guo, without me, I'm afraid you can only send an envoy instead of going in person.
For example, the time to send an envoy to Yue is too long, and if Zhao and Wu call directly, the reinforcements of Yue will not be in time.
For another example, without me, you don't have the confidence to go to the scene, and you may die if you are not careful.
Am I right?"
Ye Ming smiled embarrassedly: "If it weren't for Mr. Daqi's talent, he could do what others couldn't, and some ideas were just ideas that couldn't be implemented." ”
"Don't be a sycophant, but there is still a price for me to help, and it is impossible to help in vain. ”
Hearing this, Ye Ming hurriedly agreed: "No matter what the war is, after the war, I will definitely serve Mr. as a national teacher and tell the world." And Mr. Feng is the earl, and he will send a county to the land of a thousand households. ”
This reward is not small, the position of the nobleman, the position of the national teacher, the people of a thousand households, just one of them, I don't know how many people pursue it but can't get it.
"Very well, then I'll help. Zhuang Xia nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Ye Ming was overjoyed, with the help of Mr. Zhuang Xiao, it was like divine help, and he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. At least his personal safety is guaranteed.
He had just ascended to the throne, and he was very afraid of death.
He hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Sir's bravery is unrivaled in the world, no one is invincible, if you make a move, you will be able to take the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops, so that perhaps you can avoid this war without spending a single soldier......
As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xia, paying attention to the other party's complexion.
However, Zhuang Xia's smiling face made him not say any more, because the other party's eyes seemed to see through all this, and his words were like a performance.
"Do you want me to assassinate the kings of Zhao and Wu? Or do you want me to go to the battlefield and kill their generals and leave them leaderless?
Zhuang Xia asked three times in succession, facing Chen Guoguojun.
Ye Ming nodded hurriedly: "Although this trip is not shameful, it is the most effective way to calm the war." I believe that the people of Chen Guo will be grateful to Mr. ”
"I'm sorry, I can't. Although I am powerful, but in the face of thousands of troops, I have no way, you look up to me. ”
Zhuang Xia refused, and without waiting for Ye Ming to speak, he said again: "I am waiting for Chen Guo to survive this war safely, and I am also waiting for the promise of the monarch.
I still have something to do, so the king will ask for it, so I won't accompany me. ”
With that, he turned and left.
Ye Ming smiled astringently, and said no more, he already knew what Zhuang Xia meant, since he couldn't do it, then go back.
Immediately, he rode away, and this trip was really hurried and hurried.
However, he also got what he wanted, and he didn't run in vain, at least Zhuang Xia agreed to help.
Chen Guoguojun's departure, Zhuang Xia knew about it immediately, but he didn't care.
Just now he refused to Ye Ming without hesitation, and his tone was quite gentle, otherwise he would have wanted to kick him out.
It is difficult to fill the gap. This is Zhuang Xia's idea.
In fact, Zhuang Xia didn't care much about this war, he was not from this world, and he didn't have such a strong sense of belonging.
Whether Chen Guo wins or loses, it may have some impact on him, but it is not big, he is willing to agree to help because he does not want to be disturbed every day because of Chen Guo's war.
Furthermore, he believed that war would be best pacified with fewer deaths, so he suggested that Yeming should seek peace when the two armies were of similar strength, rather than fighting.
If he can do this, he can also contribute.
However, he just wanted to laugh at Ye Ming's desire for him to kill the monarchs of Zhao and Wu, or kill the other party's generals on the battlefield.
He wanted to ask why he did it.
Although his prestige came out by doing so, the disadvantages far outweighed the advantages.
At that time, the other kingdom would never tolerate him, and all the nobles would like to kill him, because he would always be a threat to their lives.
In the future, it may be impossible for him to settle in other countries, and others will never rest assured.
For example, there is a huge tiger on the mountain, although it is powerful and frightening, but it will not take the initiative to offend.
But if it goes down and eats a lot of people, I'm afraid all the hunters will go into the mountains to hunt the tigers.
Zhuang Xia is the tiger, even if he is quiet and others know that he is powerful, they will not take the initiative to provoke him.
If he kills a king, or kills a general, I am afraid that all the nobles and high-ranking officials will be worried, and they will want to kill him as soon as possible.
Even, Zhuang Xia thought that if he was useless to Chen Guo, what Ye Ming was thinking about was how to kill him, after all, he had the ability to kill him, the monarch, at any time, and he didn't listen to discipline.
Although Zhuang Xia didn't care about these things, he was not afraid at all.
No matter what method the other party uses, it is not worth mentioning to him.
The threat of ants to elephants is almost equal to zero.
However, if Zhuang Xia agrees to Ye Ming's request, I am afraid that he will really enter his pit, and he can only be accepted by Chen Guo in the future, and even by Ye Ming and the common people.
Instead, he will set up countless enemies.
Ye Ming and Chen Guo may be able to take advantage of this war to grow stronger, but what about him? He has nothing but the so-called fame and fortune that Ye Ming promised.
As long as he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, he doesn't care if his wealth is high or low, and he doesn't refuse to get it casually, but being busy with it is a waste of his good time to grow up now.
He was indeed a sharp blade, but why should he be used by Ye Ming?
Perhaps, in Ye Ming's eyes, he has a magic weapon, and it is not a problem to fight for the world if he controls it well, he not only wants to defend Chen Guo, but also wants more.
It's just that Zhuang Xia promised him this matter today, and tomorrow Yeming will ask him to lead troops to attack the Chu State, which will never end until he becomes the only one in this world.
Zhuang Xia was not so stupid, so he simply blocked Ye Ming's mouth now.
Yeming is in difficulty, he can help if he is in a weak position, but he just wants him to be a weapon to realize his personal desires?
Sorry, he's too lazy to pay attention.
"Purple!" he called twice.
In Zhuangfu, there is really nothing to do in normal times, the dead girl is idle enough, and the house is so big, it is not easy for people to find it.
"Your Excellency. She hurried over with small steps, and just now she secretly watched and played, and spat out her tongue, expressing her remorse for laziness.
Zhuang Xia glared at her, she couldn't even see the figure, is this still a qualified maid?
"I'm going to go on a long trip in the next two days, and I don't know how long I will go this time, maybe ten days, maybe a few months. ”
"Can you take me?" Ziyi looked at him with expectant eyes.
"No, I can't.
You're going to be honest when I'm not home, you know?
Girls, don't run around, you're so beautiful and careful to be plundered. ”
Zhuang Xia told her.
"No, this is the capital, where can there be such a thing. Purple pouted.
"It's because this is the capital that it's dangerous, there are a lot of well-dressed beasts here, it's because of them that I'm not at ease, the more capable people are, the more courageous, you know?"
"Oh. ”
Zhuang Xia ordered, the entire Zhuang Mansion was important to her, and nothing else was there.
"Pack up my things, why are you still stunned, don't go. ”
Ziyi listened but didn't move, and asked him, "What are you packing?"
She didn't know what to pack at all, not to mention that she had just arrived, and she wasn't very familiar with Zhuang Xia's things.
Zhuang Xia was also stunned, as if he had nothing to clean up, and basically put on his clothes and left. Don't say she doesn't know what to pack, and he doesn't know either.
"Alas, forget it, you don't need to clean it up, I'll do it myself. ”
Hiding his embarrassment, he left in a hurry, completely ignoring the purple clothes who were still confused.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yeming sent someone to pick up Zhuang Xia, and the group immediately left with the 30,000-strong army and went to the border.
