Chapter 81: Expedition to Binachus
As the princess of Yuanxi, Liu Yuanxiang persuaded her with good words, and Liang Teng and civil and military officials helped persuade her, but the most important thing was Chu Meiren's insistence. So Chu Xun reluctantly sat down at the top seat.
Immediately, someone brought the food and drinks, and they were carefully served.
"Then, let's get back to business!" Waiting for Liu Yuanxiang and the civil and military officials to return to their respective tables, Ning Ze said with a smile, "Just now I said that the armament replenishment of the arsenal, at present, Huajun is in ruins, and all places need money and food, but the ordnance is still the most important, otherwise how to defend the city, and how to send troops to fight? Then it is to compile and train crossbowmen as much as possible, and in terms of bamboo crossbow production, the lethality is not small, and the burden can be relatively reduced. But we still need to find another way, and we can't just rely on crossbowmen to fight the world......"
"Strategist, I heard that the country of Binaqiu is rich in iron ore. Chu Meiren thought for a moment and said, "When Dacheng was prosperous, the country had always paid tribute, and countless iron ores were donated every year. The kingdom of Binachhu is on the side of Huajun, and if the king of that country can be persuaded to form an alliance with the lord, he will be able to obtain abundant minerals to provide the necessary armaments, and second, he can get the help of Binachhu to strengthen our army. ”
"Although the Binaqiu Kingdom pays tribute every year, it is due to the strength of the Youdi Emperor. Liang Teng thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "Now that Emperor Youdi has died, the world is in chaos. Binaqiu does not know the name of the lord, and he is also the king of Changping of Zhou, and the king of Liang is the emperor of Lu Cong, so he will inevitably be inclined to the princes of these two sides. With the strength of our army, the other side is afraid that it is unwilling to form an alliance. ”
"Although the land of Binachu is small and sparsely populated, there is only one city. The land of a country is similar to the imperial city of Miliang, but Miliang can reach more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the people are 1.2 million. There are only 80,000 soldiers and more than 500,000 people," Liang Ling said, "Even so, there are only 100,000 people and 20,000 soldiers and horses in my Hua County. It is true that the kingdom of Binachu will not form an alliance with the lord, let alone pay tribute to the lord. ”
"Because of this, we need a man who can speak well to go to the country of Binaqiu and try to persuade the other party to form an alliance with the lord!" said Chu Meiren, "If you have the country of Binaqiu as a backup, it will be easier for the lord to conquer the world." ”
"But where can we find such a eloquent man to persuade King Binachu to form an alliance with us?" Liang Teng asked, "What Huajun lacks most now is this kind of talent!"
"Yes, Lord Chu doesn't know, at the moment, there is only a shortage of talents in our Huajun City, otherwise why would the military advisor issue a recruitment order, or even open female officials. Liang Ling shook his head.
Chu Xun listened to them talk about these things, and shook his head while drinking. His daughter's proposal seemed to him to be too much of a given, she was very smart, and she even knew more now than she was a father, but after all, she was too young and inexperienced, and she looked at everything idealistically. Liang Teng and Liang Ling's rebuttal is normal, and there is no problem.
However, from this point of view, I found that my baby daughter showed a seriousness and devotion that she had never seen before, especially the pleasure she showed when arguing, which I had never seen before and could never imagine.
The look in his daughter's eyes at this moment suddenly reminded him of his high-spirited self when he was young.
How similar is she to the ambitious self she was when she was young? The scene in front of her is simply a copy of herself back then.
Compared with the quiet and gentle who stayed at home honestly, she seems to be more energetic and happier at the moment.
From her eyes, there was no trace of confusion.
Especially I want to let my suggestions be accepted in front of everyone, and the way I try to argue is very much like myself back then.
In this official office, it is not because she is the first female official in history that other civil and military officials have strange eyes and rejection.
They were obviously still shocked by the appearance of the female officer, but they did not appear in the situation they feared, but were gradually persuaded by their daughter in the argument, showing their admiration and admiration for her.
This situation made Chu Xun particularly confused, in his opinion, female officials violated the norms, why would it be different in Huajun?
Turning his gaze to Princess Yuanxi Liu Yuanxiang, who was sitting at the top, he said that it was because of the existence of this person, after all, the lord is first and foremost a woman, so it also affected the thoughts of the people below, so he was not so repulsive to female officials?
This is indeed the reason, but on the other hand, Ning Ze has already given countless preventive shots to the civil and military officials present through his way. Although I was still shocked by the fact that a female official really appeared, it was relatively easy to accept.
Looking at his daughter's chattering and high-spirited appearance when debating with civil and military officials, Chu Xun had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and the anger in his stomach before gradually calmed down, and the whole person finally calmed down, drank wine silently, and watched her ponder.
His face was full of contradictions and entanglements, as if he was fighting unimaginably in his heart.
In the official office, everyone's attention was on Chu Meiren, because the topic was hotly discussed, but they ignored Chu Xun who was listening, and they didn't know that he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Chu Meiren argued fiercely with Liang Teng and Liang Ling, and finally struggled with the candidate.
Indeed, persuading the kingdom of Binachu to form an alliance with Huajun, obtaining iron ore to make weapons, and getting the assistance of soldiers is very beneficial to the conquest of the world. However, it is not easy to find a person who can convince the king of Binachus and can speak well.
After thinking about it, Chu Meiren said: "In this case, Xia Guan is willing to go to Binaqiu Country as a lobbyist in person!"
"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Chu Xun took the case and hurriedly shouted, "This matter is not child's play!"
"Duke Chu is reasonable!" Ning Ze smiled and got up, "Lord Chu's strategy is good, if you can persuade the king of Binaqiu to form an alliance with the lord, there will be many benefits." But it's too risky to go to the country of Binachhu as a lobbyist in person!"
Chu Xun looked at Ning Ze when he heard this, and said in his heart that this kid is talking about it now.
"But the military advisor," Chu Meiren said, "it seems that only the lower officials are the most suitable in Huajun. ”
"What do you say?" Ning Ze smiled, "Don't you take me seriously?"
"That's not what Xia Guan meant!" Chu Meiren was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly replied, "But I don't know much about the country of Binaqiu, and it would be too dangerous for the military advisor to go there in person." ”
"So this army division is ready to lead five thousand troops and go out to Binaqiu!" Ning Ze turned to Liu Yuanxiang, "Please allow the lord!"
"What?!" Not only Chu Meiren, but Liu Yuanxiang and the civil and military officials on the scene were all shocked.
Chu Xun looked at Ning Ze with a hint of sarcasm. The heart said that he is really a little ghost who does not know whether he is alive or dead, no matter how weak he is in the country of Naqiu, there are more than 500,000 people and 80,000 elite soldiers, not to mention the overseas island country, 5,000 soldiers and horses cross the sea by boat, and it is estimated that at least half of them will fall when they arrive at Binaqiu, and the wind and waves at sea are fake?
Even if you are allowed to reach Binachhu safely, 5,000 against 80,000 will be self-defeating!
But he didn't bother to remind, just scoffed.
Liu Yuanxiang and the civil and military officials on the scene also thought the same way, no matter how small it is that Naqiu is a country, it is also a country, and it wants to take it with 5,000 soldiers and horses, too confident, right?
"Military Division," Liu Yuanxiang said, "This matter is not trivial, the 80,000 elite soldiers of the Binaqiu Kingdom are overseas. The sea is full of wind and waves, and our soldiers have not yet learned to water warfare, so they will not be able to adapt to the water and soil, and even if they reach the country of Binachu, they will not be able to fight again......"
"Don't worry," Ning Ze arched his hand and said, "The lower official has a chain strategy!"
"A chain strategy?"
"It is to connect large and small ships together to make a chain boat, which can be smooth in the wind and waves!" Ning Ze said with a smile.
"Serial Boat ......" Chu Xun, who was originally scoffing, lowered his head and thought when he heard this, and then looked up at Ning Ze in shock.
It seems that this kid has some ability, and he can actually come up with the idea of making a chain boat. Ordinary ships sail on the sea, and they will constantly bump in the face of wind and waves, and in that case, 5,000 soldiers and horses will not be able to hold up the country of Binachu, and they will fall at sea. Even if they arrive successfully, how can a group of soft-footed shrimp that have been tossed and dizzy fight against 80,000 elite soldiers?
However, with the chain boat, although I don't know how effective it is, I am afraid that it can really improve the situation.
The question is, even if they successfully reach the country of Binachu, how can they defeat 80,000 elite soldiers with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the 500,000 people of the country of Binachu?
After all, this kid is still too arrogant and ignorant.
"Military Division, how to win when attacking the Binachu country with 5,000 soldiers?" Liang Teng couldn't help but ask, "Although Binaqiu is a Dacheng vassal country, it is not so weak that it can't stop the 5,000 soldiers and horses. Even, with the same 80,000 soldiers and horses going out to fight, the other party has the right time and place, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the military division to take advantage. Besides, who among Hua County can fight with the military advisor now, and if this official is with him, how should the Jinzhou Assassin deal with it?"
"That's right, military advisor," Liu Yuanxiang also said, "I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate." ”
"Xia Guan also thinks it's not realistic," Liang Kai got up and said, "What's more, aren't we discussing the issue of ordnance? How did we turn to attacking the Binaqiu country? The problem of the Jinzhou Assassin has not yet been resolved, and thinking about attacking a country is inevitably overestimating one's own strength." ”
Xia Guan also thinks so. ”
"The last general thinks it's inappropriate!"
......
The civil and military officials spoke one after another, and their opinions were similar.
Ning Ze didn't care, and said with a smile: "The Golden State Thorn History is very easy to deal with, so you don't have to take it to heart at all." As for the kingdom of Binachus, the lord only needs to give me 5,000 soldiers and horses, and I will guarantee that I will be able to get this land within a month. ”
"The military advisor wants to go alone?" Liu Yuanxiang said hurriedly when he heard this, "No, it's too dangerous!"
"My lord, in the eyes of the lower officials, taking the country of Bina Qiu is like taking something from a bag. Ning Ze said with a smile.
"Strategist, this matter is no joke!" Liang Teng frowned.
"Liang Taishou, when have you ever seen Xia Guan joking about such a big thing?" Ning Ze turned his head and asked.
"This ......"
"Jinzhou Thorn History, hand it over to Liang Taishou to deal with. Ning Ze said, "As long as you follow the strategy offered by the previous Chu Lord, you will definitely succeed! The lower official will go out to conquer the Binaqiu country, and he will definitely return victorious after a month! Please ask the lord to order the allocation of 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the lower official will immediately set out on the expedition!"
Facing Ning Ze's confident eyes, although Liu Yuanxiang was uneasy, he remembered the previous agreement between the two, so he nodded: "Okay! ”
