Chapter 143: The Afterlife is Terrifying

Previous Chapter

"Leave this servant to me, and I'll hand it over to you from the one of the five grades." Zhou Yu commanded.

"Yes." Yu Jing left after receiving the order. The next day, Zhou Yu learned from Yu Jing about the situation of this servant on the road.

This person's name is Fu Xishan, a veteran of the two dynasties of the Qianguo, only because the new emperor reshuffled the power of the DPRK and China after the new emperor ascended the throne, and he did not want to be in the company of others, so he was squeezed out of the capital.

After another two years, Fu Xishan simply submitted his resignation to the Ministry of Officials, and returned to the field with the bones, without asking about the eunuch sea.

"According to what you said, this Fu Xishan is indeed a good official?" Zhou Yu asked after listening to the information collected by Yu Jing and Song Qi.

"It should be said that he is a veritable good official, but it's a pity that once the son of heaven and a courtier, this Master Fu is not at the right time!" Yu Jing sighed.

"If you bring him back to my Dawen, what do you think would be a good official for him?" Zhou Yu then asked.

"Your Excellency, don't be bothered! The last general is a rough man, he only knows some guns and sticks and martial arts, and he has roughly learned some marching military methods, how can the general understand this as an official? Yu Jing hurriedly avoided Zhou Yu's question.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually......" Zhou Yu saw that he was cautious, so he stopped pressing.

After a while, the two came to the door of Fu Xishan's mansion. This mansion is also medium-sized, about the same size as Zhou Yu's house in Luozhou.

Zhou Yu stepped forward and knocked on the knocker, and after a while, a servant opened the door and asked, "May I ask what do you two do?" ”

"This brother, we are here to visit Master Fu, please give me a look." Zhou Yu said politely.

"May I ask if the guest's surname is Zhou?" The servant asked.

"Exactly, how did the little brother know?" Zhou Yu and Yu Jing were both very surprised. This is the first time I came to the door, isn't it strange that the other party actually knows his surname?

"The master has instructed that if a young guest surnamed Zhou comes to visit, please come to the study immediately to serve tea, and the two of you please come with me!" The servant opened the door and welcomed Zhou Yu and the others in.

Although Zhou Yu was a little puzzled, he still followed the servant into the study. This study is even more bizarre, not only is it poorly decorated, but there is not a single book, it looks like an idle utility room, but it is kept very clean.

"Two guests wait, my lord will be here soon." The servant warmly served tea to Zhou Yu and Yu Jing, and then left.

In less than a cup of tea, a deep voice floated in from the door: "Is it Wen Guo and his pro-ambassador Zhou Yu?" Listening to this voice, it should be that Fu Xishan himself didn't run away, Zhou Yu hurriedly got up and greeted him: "I've seen Master Fu!" Although Yu Jing is a military general of Wenguo, he is still a subordinate of Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu salutes, and he also has to follow suit.

"You're welcome, the two of you are here, but you want the old man to cross the river north?" Fu Xishan sat directly opposite Zhou Yu.

This man, who already has half a head of white hair, is actually in good spirits and has a compelling aura at the moment. Zhou Yu saw that Fu Xishan was to the point, so he no longer beat around the bush, but nodded and said: "Since Master Fu knows my intentions, he must have received a letter from Lord Chai Songchun, right?" ”

"Why did you say that?" Fu Xishan began to sell Guanzi.

"My subordinates told me that Master Fu's situation was told by Lord Chai, and he said that the two of them were old friends more than ten years ago. When Zhou came to the door today, the family of your house said that Master Fu had expected that Zhou would come to visit, and it was not difficult to guess that it was related. Zhou Yu replied truthfully.

"Although you are reasonable, but as an important minister of the Qianguo, although I have already become a minister, it is difficult for me to do treason to leave home, you don't need to say much, drink this cup and leave by yourself." Fu Xishan said, and drank the tea in the cup.

Zhou Yu put down the teacup in his hand gently, and said with a smile: "If this matter is really not discussed, I am afraid that Master Fu would have ordered the servants to send him away, how could he let the family set tea in the study and wait?" In the next dare to guess, Master Fu may want to hear the humble opinion below. Fu Xishan raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu with some surprise, and also said with a smile: "Since you have a high opinion, please talk about it." ”

"Forgive my humble opinion, within three years, there will be a war between the two countries! This battle is different from the small friction in the past, but a life-and-death battle between the civil and Qian, and the winner dominates the Central Plains and takes the world; The defeated broke the city and lost the country and became naturalized. As soon as Zhou Yu opened his mouth, it was big news.

Fu Xishan's face was startled, and then he immediately regained his composure and asked, "Ridiculous!" There have been countless disputes between the two countries over the past decades, so how could there ever be a major war that exerted the strength of the country? My Qianguo infantry army entered the Central Plains and there was a lack of people, and your Wenguo sailors entered the Yangtze River and the boat was sluggish. ”

"If this is the case, why does the Emperor ask for my Wenguo?" Zhou Yu responded with a smile.

"War is a defeat for both sides, and a combination is a benefit for both sides. The emperor's move was for the benefit of the country and the people, not for war. Fu Xishan said with his eyes closed.

"My lord, I'm afraid I can't even convince myself, right?" Zhou Yu still said with a relaxed face: "Although Master Fu has been away from the Huan Sea for a long time, the news from all parties is also very well-informed. Then you naturally know that our Wenguo has trained 50,000 elite sailors in the East China Sea, and there are still 50,000 new soldiers in the Bohai Sea who are training day and night. In time, the Yangtze River moat, which Qianguo relied on, may not be able to reach the Wenguo Naval Division. In addition, our country has improved the method of iron-making, and the weapons cast are extremely sharp and invincible. And the infantry army of Qianguo has never been the opponent of Wenguo's infantry army. Just imagine, if the Yangtze River defense line is breached, how will the infantry army of Qianguo face the army of Wenguo, which is strong and stubborn? In the land south of the Yangtze River, there is no danger to defend, only the Yangtze River is a barrier. If Jiangnan falls, it will be like cutting off the arm of the Qianguo, and I am afraid that it will have to be surrendered if it does not fall! Fu Xishan opened his eyes and asked Zhou Yu with some doubts: "As soon as the war starts, our Qianguo has its own rich hometown in the south of the Yangtze River to provide military salaries, which is consumption, and the army of Wenguo must be stopped north of the Yangtze River!" How dare you say that Wenguo will definitely be able to break through the Yangtze River moat? ”

"My lord said that the country of Qianguo is the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River as the land of wealth in the rear, which is true. However, the money consumed by this march and war was huge, and the Qianguo country would inevitably levy it with heavy taxes. The imperial court was willing, but the landlords and gentry in Jiangnan were not, and if they knew that the taxes that Wen Guo needed to pay after defeating the Qianguo were only a quarter of what the Qianguo leved, I am afraid that they would immediately turn against them. At that time, Qianguo will not only have to face the threat of the pressure of the Wenguo army, but even his own money bag will not be able to cover it tightly! Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

"Tubo on the plateau and Wei in the north, how should you deal with it? Fighting on three sides, I'm afraid Wenguo doesn't have this strength yet, right? Fu Xishan continued to ask questions.

Thousands of thousands

"Of course not, but before engaging with the Qianguo, I will first conquer the Wei State to ensure that the rear is safe. As for Tibet, the news is even more closed, so there is no need to worry. Zhou Yu replied.

At this moment, even Yu Jing was stunned, this old man hadn't agreed to return to Wenguo, why did Zhou Yu reveal the battle plan?

Isn't this a leak of military secrets?

"Wen and Wei handed over troops, will Qianguo stand by and watch? At that time, you will still be under the enemy, and you will not be able to take care of it! ”

"Wen sent troops to attack Wei, the news spread to the Qianguo, less than the moon, if I strictly investigate, the time will be delayed for a longer time, within a few months, the Wei State will be destroyed, the Qianguo wants to interfere, it is too late!"

"You are young and frivolous, and you have not been in battle, and you are bold and vain! How can the power of a nation perish in months? Fu Xishan said with an almost sneer.

"The land of the Northern Wei Dynasty is extremely cold. In the past 100 years, there have been victories and defeats in the battles between Wen and Qian, and in the battles of Wen and Wei, Wen has never been defeated. In addition, the wind and frost in the north, the lack of money and food, when the war came, the Wei army looked forward and backward, and it was even more difficult to parry, and finally panicked and defeated like a lost dog! While talking and laughing, Zhou Yu seemed to have Wei in his pocket.

"The madness of youth cannot be taught!" Fu Xishan also shook his head, not agreeing with Zhou Yu's opinion.

Zhou Yu wanted to save some saliva, but he didn't believe in this old thing, so he had to talk about the operation of society from the economic foundation.

After a detailed analysis of the current situation and various problems in the three kingdoms of Wen, Wei, and Qian, Fu Xishan was fascinated by what he heard.

After speaking, Fu Xishan stroked his beard and said: "In the past, Su Qin traveled to the six countries and wore the seal of the six countries; Today, someone with such insight as you can be the national teacher of the Three Kingdoms! Zhou Yu heard this and knew that there should be a play, so he said: "Master Fu praised it falsely, I don't know if the adult is willing to go north along the river and help the younger generation on a journey?" ”

"The old man is over sixty years old, how can I gain fame? However, there is a man of such great talent as you, and he will definitely have a bright future. The old man is willing to return to Wenguo with you, even if he makes a cloth dress, he will definitely be able to see the prosperity of the dynasty! Fu Xishan stood up, and between his words, he had already agreed to Zhou Yu's request.

"Master Fu, let's go first, when the matter of harmony is over, you and I will meet again in Wenguo!" Zhou Yu also got up and saluted.

"The old man still doesn't know anything, I wonder if you can give me advice?" Fu Xishan suddenly turned his head and asked.

"I don't dare to teach it, if Master Fu has any doubts, just ask."

"Since you know that Wen and Qian, the two countries will definitely fight each other sooner or later, how can you bring Princess Wen to go to danger? Is it that Emperor Wen does not listen to your dissuasion, or is there someone else in the court who is slandering? ”

"Sun Tzu said, go to the army to fight. If we do not know the situation of Qianguo, when we are in Japan, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses when we are fighting in Japan. If you want to catch a big fish, you must put on fragrant bait, and Princess Changle and I have to be bait, bring enough people and horses, and come to explore the reality of Qianguo. Zhou Yu truthfully explained his intentions.

Fu Xishan was stunned after hearing this, and then touched his beard and smiled heartily: "Wonderful, wonderful, the future is terrifying............

"Fu Xishan has already set off for Wenguo, we will leave tomorrow and rush to Yizhou!" Zhou Yu said to Yu Jing and Song Qi.

"My lord, Yizhou is the capital of Qianguo, it's easy for us to get in, but how do we get out?" Song Qi asked with some confidence for the first time.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Nowadays, the situation is changing rapidly, and we can only take one step at a time. Zhou Yu turned his back to the two of them, constantly studying the map of Qianguo hanging on the wall.
