Chapter 174: Contrarian
"You two should have never been to the Xia Kingdom to do business, and you don't know what is happening now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Since the head of Xia Guoguo is recuperating from illness, the authority has been handed over to Princess Xianni, and now, Princess Xianni of Xia Kingdom is the regent spokesperson, and has established a policy of discussing politics with the elders, and holding the military power alone, so as to make Xia Guo. ā
"The opportunity for civil strife is gone, and the three kings are in peace with each other. Moreover, the Fire Phoenix Army of the Xia State has been transferred out of the border, and the private army of the King of Hanyu has taken over the border city defense. The Fire Phoenix Army is under the command of the royal capital, and this time in the battle in our Chu State, it is led by the Fire Phoenix Army. ā
"As for the outcome, I think you already know. Bai Lu said slowly, these messages are transmitted slowly, and now only the intelligence agencies of the Chu State know about them, but the folk scribes don't have such a fast news channel, so it's normal not to know.
The scribes in the Jade Pavilion were a little surprised, the changes in the past two months were so big, but they were unexpected.
Zhang Changyan reacted quickly and immediately responded. "This is the situation of the Xia State, but it is not the border situation of our Chu State, or the political situation is stable, but it does not mean that the Xia State has a strong conquest of the border areas of our Chu State. Besides, Zhao Wenshi also explained just now that the inability of the Xia Kingdom to fight was due to the flood relief and the large number of refugees, what kind of fallacy do you say?"
"What's in a hurry. The egret shook his head, "That's it." Brother Zhao just said that the Xia State was unable to conquer, the main reason was the refugees, and the second reason was that the general Marshal Egret was not worthy of the name, which was really a bit biased. It is really subjective speculation, as far as I know, at the time of the flood, the army in the south of Xia Guo Town rescued with the army, and Xia Guo gathered the strength of the whole country to requisition food and resettle more than 300,000 victims, and now it has stabilized around the three counties in the south of Zhen. There is no shortage of food and grass logistics. And to say that the egret is not worthy of the name, but the other party's record is a real existence, and there must be something excellent under the fame, Brother Zhao doesn't care, such an attitude of indifference really can't be called objective, but it's just Brother Zhao's subjective speculation. ā
"This person is very famous in the Xia country, destroying the 200,000 army of the grassland and flooding the border army of our Chu country, there must be its advantages. If the war is reliably won with big words, Brother Zhao's remarks have already dominated the world, so why do you need to ask for common ground here?"
Zhao Xifeng was stunned, and his face was even more ugly. "According to what you say, this egret is a famous general, and he has high skills, but now I am talking about how to resist the possible attack of the Xia State, is it possible that you mean that this person will definitely capture the border city of my Chu State?"
"I mean, be practical. Egret shook his head, "Looking at the problem objectively is the premise of solving the problem." Strategically contempt for the enemy and tactically attach importance to the enemy is the way to general. Subjectively speculate on the behavior of others and do not prepare, and the battle will be lost without a fight. If you really have the heart to think about how to resist the Xia Kingdom, you should not subjectively speculate on reality, but start from reality. ā
"I, General Li Hai of Chu State, who is a famous general in a hundred battles, and even requisitioned the iron cavalry of the strong army of Chu State, but it was still lost to the hands of the egret, can this be a coincidence? It is to take advantage of the flood, this combat opportunity, grasp the time, and make a mistake, is not just stuck in the timing of our army's first entry into the Xia Kingdom, Xiaocaohu arranging troops, this flood can have such an effect? Therefore, when looking at the problem, we cannot think subjectively, but we must see the subtleties. ā
This is reasonable, and Zhao Xifeng is difficult to refute.
"If you want to win against Xia Guo, you have to consider it from the other party's point of view. If the Xia State solves the uneasy factors and wants to take the border areas of our Chu State in one fell swoop, where will it start? Will the other side make good use of the tricks, will there be an opportunity to take advantage of it? Even if it is difficult for the 300,000 disaster victims to be rescued, will the other side consider supporting the people by war and seizing the county town of our Chu State to resettle the refugees? Only from these angles can we know the other side's expected actions and make a perfect strategy. ā
No one took these angles into account, but they were said by a traveling merchant, and the scribes were a little stunned, but they were also embarrassed, and they only felt that they had not considered it.
"So, do you have a way to deal with the attack of the Xia Kingdom?" Qingtian saw it, and only felt that this newcomer's angle was novel and extraordinary, so he asked directly.
"It's not difficult to defend against the Xia Kingdom. Bai Lu smiled, "As Brother Zhang said, my Chu State has many generals. It is not difficult to recruit a large army, and it is not a problem to select generals and military divisions, the key is to speed up. So I don't agree with what Brother Zhang said, my Chu country has time to delay, I think that the most important thing now is to organize the generals and troops as soon as possible, and then set up a border army to guard the border area, even if it is now in the Daming Prefecture area, we must also be ready for battle!"
"Hey, you really look down on the army of this Xia Kingdom. Zhao Xifeng laughed disdainfully, "How can the matter of preparing the army be completed easily." With such a strategy, you are really a bit of a soldier. Rapid recruitment and rapid deployment consumes a huge amount of financial resources and manpower, and it is definitely not a good strategy!"
"It doesn't matter if the grass and trees are soldiers, it's good to take precautions. That's just my opinion. Brother Zhao's approval or not, what does it have to do with me?" the egret shook his head and sat down again.
After saying this, the egret stopped talking. After that, several scribes of the Chu State spoke out, and they also echoed Zhao Xifeng's words, and there were also people who swayed from side to side considering the new situation provided by the egret, and there was no fixed number.
Seeing that he had almost said it, Clear Sky nodded.
"You are all well-educated, and the clear sky does not evaluate. But this policy was asked in the palace of the royal capital before, and the courtiers were also asked. is based on the standard, and the courtiers have Zhang Wenshi and Zhao Wenshi, but Xue Dashuai's remarks are similar to what Mr. Lu said. Qingtian inadvertently reported a fierce news, making everyone look back at the egret and be surprised.
"Yes, the people who enter the inner court today can be determined, Zhao Wenshi, Zhang Wenshi, and this Mr. Lu. Please enter, everyone Liu touched the qin and asked for rewards, and invited the three VIPs to give advice. ā
This is where we get to the point.
The reason why the egret sang a counter tune in front of him was to get a chance to enter, and naturally he wouldn't take any shelf at this time, so he smiled generously, stood up, and followed the excited Zhao Xifeng and Zhang Changyan into the inner courtyard with the clear sky.
The others were a little disappointed, but the Jade Pavilion soon arranged for the singer to perform in the hall to heal the people's disappointment. It does not seem empty and cold, which makes the scribes feel favorable.
The three egrets entered the inner courtyard, and Zhou An had been sitting here for a long time. Right now, I'm chatting happily with a beautiful woman in a veil.
As soon as he saw Zhou An, Zhang Changyan's expression became hideous, he couldn't forget the insult he had received before, and his heart was full of anger, and he was about to erupt.
"Please also look at the thin face of the little woman, and do not embarrass each other today. "What kind of character Liu is, as soon as he saw Zhang Changyan's expression, he knew that there was a conflict between Zhang Wenshi and Zhou An, and he didn't wait for a few people to speak, but he was a peacemaker.
"All of you officials are my Chu country junjie, although in the inner court, but the little woman has also heard a lot of high opinions, it is also the honor of the little woman to be able to meet you officials today. "Liu's voice is light and beautiful, and when he said a word, several people felt that their bodies were a little lighter, and Zhang Changyan's anger was instantly blown out, and they only felt that it was worth it to see Liu everyone's face, and what humiliation they suffered.
Even the egret was affected, but soon the egret reacted and was shocked.
"This woman, I'm afraid she is not a good person!"
