Chapter 295: History Book (Five Watches)
"Bai Qi was ready to seize the capital of Chu first, and then the capital of Chu, Ying, and then ordered Zhang Ruo, who was stationed in Shu, to lead tens of thousands of Bashu people down the Yangtze River to the east, and cooperate with Bai Qi to contain the forces of Chu, so that the Chu army could take care of one and lose the other. The head and tail could not be answered, and at the same time seized the western part of the Chu State. Hong Lianshuo's dark eyes looked at them and said, "This trick is big enough." ”
"It's a pincer offensive!" Jiang Shuisheng said in surprise.
"Uh-huh!" Hong Lianshuo nodded and said, "With 70,000 people going deep into the hinterland of the capital defended by hundreds of thousands of Chu troops, Bai Qi's strategy is too crazy. He smiled mysteriously, "What's more, his 70,000 elite soldiers don't even bring food." ”
"Ahh looked at Hong Lianshuo one by one dumbfounded.
"Yes. Travel completely light. Tong Ren, who was black under Hong Lianshuo's willow eyebrows, looked at them and said, "All the way, I plundered the grain and grass in the Hanshui Valley to supplement military supplies, and then carried out a political offensive, promising land and property to the local people, exempting them from taxes, and so on to lure and tempt the Chu people." ”
Speaking of this, everyone understood, "No wonder, the allure of the land is too great, especially for the bitter croppers!" You can not be a cow or a horse for the landlord's old wealth, but everyone is happy. Chen Zhongyuan smacked the catfish mouth and said.
"This is one bell of eating the enemy, and ten minutes of defeating oneself." Lin Nanzheng said admiringly.
"This is a war to feed the war!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a smile and said, "I said that I am not the first, and I can find it in the history books." Such a temptation made the people of Chu spontaneously become the logistical supply of grain and grass for the Qin army. On the land of other countries, it is actually anti-guest-oriented. The eyes were full of little stars and admiration, "Let the people of the enemy country run for themselves, and the level of this battle will be high." ”
"Why? Aren't they the people of the Chu State? How can you be willing to serve Bai Qi with a few promises. Ye Yunyu looked at her very puzzled and said.
"Do you need to ask why? It can be seen that the people of Chu are not doing well. Chen Zhongyuan snorted coldly and said immediately.
"The people of Chu don't care who is under the crown?" Jiang Shuisheng thought seriously for a moment and said, "The nobles of the Chu State are too beasts and don't treat the people as human beings!" ”
"There is no Ming monarch in the Chu State, and the people are living miserably!" Cui Ming looked at them with a dark face and said.
"You're partly right." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and upright eyes and said, "This is entirely because the state structure of the Chu State is completely different from that of other countries. It would be more accurate to say that the state of Chu should be too divided. The power and interests of the Chu State are very scattered and independent, and the local government does not listen to the court, and he does not have an overall sense of the other six countries, knowing that one is prosperous and one is lost. Therefore, through the orientation of interests, it will naturally divide and disintegrate. It is precisely because Bai Qi saw through this that he had the bottom in his heart to rob the grain and grass while transforming the people of Chu for his own use. ”
"That's amazing, isn't it? It's a thorough understanding of human nature. Ye Yunyu looked at him in disbelief and said.
"That's right! Bai Qi's insight into politics and human nature can be regarded as playing to the extreme. Hong Lianshuo looked at them like a falling star and said.
Ye Yunyu looked at them with a slight coldness in his eyes and said, "The three families of the Chu State are powerful and have many families, and they don't deal with each other, and the court has also been bribed a lot. If something happens, they can't work together at all, all they think about is self-preservation, or what benefits they can get from it, how can there be a reason for their lips to die and their teeth are cold. ”
