“…… There are more than 400,000 people in the two prefectures, and it will take a year or two to pacify and assimilate, and then 50,000 troops can be recruited here. ”

"At that time, we can send troops to Jin'an County to occupy the old land of Minyue and bring the whole of Lingnan into the scope of our rule......"

Wen Yi said: "The Jin Kingdom is not a fool, they will inevitably send troops to conscript. ”

He Fang said: "What we want is for them to send troops, we can take advantage of the harsh geographical environment of Lingnan to drag the Jin army here to death and consume their living strength." ”

"And the forces of Yan State, Qin State, and Yao Xiang in the north will not let go of this opportunity, and they will inevitably take advantage of this opportunity to go south, and it will be difficult for the Jin State to be pinned down......"

"When the time comes, we will lead the army into the Yangtze River estuary and directly enter the Jiankang Dynasty to destroy the imperial court...... If the emperor Jin Kingdom is lost, the dragons will be leaderless and fall into chaos. ”

"We can kill the world from Lingnan...... In this way, within ten years, the king can take the Jin Kingdom and replace it, and then plot to dominate the world in the north. ”

Wen Yi didn't directly say whether it would work or not, but asked, "Is this what you think of yourself, or is it thought by others?" ”

He Fang said: "It was the generals who returned to Beijing a year ago, and I, Chai Shumi, Head Yue, as well as Li Zhong and Wang An, got together to deduce together. ”

Wen Yi said: "Wei Ran, Liu Meng, and Wu Heng are not there?" ”

He Fang said: "They have something to leave. ”

Wen Yi sneered: "I guess they don't have something, but they don't want to get involved." ”

He Fang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized the stupidity of himself and the others.

When a group of military generals did not reveal any ideas, it was taboo to gather privately to negotiate an attack on other countries.

It's okay if you have this idea yourself, and it's okay to talk to them privately, as long as you don't tell anyone about it.

What is the current situation? Most of the high-level military of the Tang State participated, what do you make the monarch think?

It's no wonder that when they talked about this topic, Wu Heng and they always interrupted, and then they simply found an excuse to leave, it turned out that the problem was here.

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on his head, and he said in fear: "This matter was just a joke at the time, and the big guy didn't take it seriously." ”

"I only said it when the king asked me today, and it has nothing to do with them. If the king has a rebuke, he will punish me. ”

Wen Yi said: "Okay, I know, remember that if the king is not secret, he will lose his country, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body, what you say is not trivial, remember not to spread it!" ”

"Yes." He Fang wiped his sweat and said with palpitations.

For the first time, he felt the pressure from Wen Yi, the sense of oppression brought by the superiors.

He understood that after three years of training, this king from the exile had finally completed his transformation and became a real king.

This is different from the majesty maintained by using the power of the law, but from the temperament of not being angry and majestic, which belongs to the natural majesty of the superior.

Even if he stood in the crowd in ordinary clothes, he could still feel the pressure.

Seeing that He Fang was submissive, Wen Yi sighed: "I am very pleased that you have this heart, but your plan is full of loopholes and you don't know it, and you are complacent about it, which makes me very disappointed." ”

"If you only have this ability, let alone fight the world, I will be thankful that you can keep the existing territory of the Tang Kingdom."

Even though he knew that he and the others had committed a taboo, seeing Wen Yi belittled them like this, He Fang was still a little unconvinced.

Wen Yi basically did not lead the army to fight, and the fight against the three slang coalition forces in Jin'an County was planned and completed by Xie Daoyun and led the troops.

The pacification of Dongning Island was not a vicious battle, and it was also completed by Chai Ben and his people.

Fighting the Yan State Sailor was also a plan formulated by the generals of the Privy Council led by Xie Daoyun, and he He Fang took people to fight.

Wen Yi has never shown military ability.

Of course, he didn't think that Wen Yi's ability was not good or anything like that, in his opinion, Wen Yiqiang was guiding the direction from a high vantage point, which was the best quality of a king.

But Wen Yi also has his own shortcomings, and his ability to lead troops to fight is not very strong.

It's not just He Fang who thinks so, but many generals in the military think so.

Now seeing Wen Yi belittled their battle plan so much, he was naturally unconvinced, and said, "Please advise the king." ”

Wen Yi saw his thoughts and said, "Okay, I'll convince you today." ”

"The plan to occupy Zhuyazhou is not bad, and it is very feasible. I'm not afraid to tell you that this island has the best iron ore in the world, and the reserves are huge enough for us to use for thousands of years. ”

"Not only that, but there are gold, silver and copper mines on it, so I don't need to tell you about the importance of these things, right? Occupy this place for nothing else, just for these minerals. ”

He Fang was first surprised, then ecstatic. If this is the case, the development momentum of the Tang Kingdom that occupies this place will really be irresistible.

Wen Yi continued: "But except for Zhu Yazhou's strategy, the rest is a mess. ”

"You only considered the army of the Jin State in Jiaoguang, but you didn't know that the real masters of Lingnan were not them, but the Xian family."

"The Xian family has been the chief of the slang people for hundreds of years, and hundreds of thousands of slang people look at them as their heads, and no one can occupy Lingnan without their permission."

"There is no reason for the Xian family to betray the more powerful Jin State and take refuge in the Tang State that appeared out of nowhere."

"There is also Jiaozhou, the previous monarch of Linyi State, Ou Wen, is also a talent, but he has not been able to occupy this place in his life, do you know what the reason is?"

Hearing this, He Fang was already in a cold sweat, and he was ashamed in his heart.

Wen Yi had no intention of saving face for him, and continued: "Let's send a sailor into the Yangtze River...... Have you considered the sailors of the Jin Kingdom? ”

"Relying on the superiority of the performance of the warship, we are not afraid of anyone at sea. But when it comes to the narrow river, the advantage of our warships can't play a role, what do you do to fight the Jin State Sailors? ”

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we defeat the Jin State Water Division and soldiers under Jiankang City, do you know how high Jiankang's city wall is? Any idea how many defenders are inside? ”

"As long as we can't break through Jiankang in time, when the Jin reinforcements arrive, there will only be one way to defeat."

"Take another 10,000 steps back, even if we defeat Jiankang and kill the emperor, so what?"

"The Jin Kingdom was originally ruled by the scholars and the royal family, and the scholars could push another one out after the emperor died."

"Even if they get into the mess as you think, who will profit the most? It's not us, it's Yanguo. ”

"Their iron cavalry can cross the Yangtze River and bring the entire Jin Kingdom under their rule."

"Do you know how many Han people will be displaced by that time, and how many will die under their butcher's knives?"

"What is the purpose of our establishment of the Tang State? It's to let the people have something to eat, not to sit in the world for anything, at least that's what I think. ”

"So I can't put the people in a desperate situation for my own selfish desires."

"Even if we are lucky enough to get the world, how can we govern it? Governing the world is not as good as fighting the world, and it requires a large number of officials. If you don't have your own set of people, you can't control it. ”

"Our Tang State can't even gather officials to govern 100,000 people now, so how can we rule the world?"

"You can only rely on the Shi clan, but you don't know what virtues the Shi clan has, right? Not to mention you low-born generals, even I, the monarch, may not be taken seriously by them. ”

"What is the picture of this world that we have worked so hard to bring down? Do you make wedding dresses for others? ”

He Fang knelt on the ground and said, "The minister knows that he is wrong, please punish the lord of the country." ”
