As he expected, Zhuge Liang nodded, and then said with a smile: "The logistics are not out of the camp, and the people who come and return to the camp are fixed. ”

Lu You's arm trembled slightly when he said this.

He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a reasonable plan that could convince the other party.

Should 90,000 troops and more than 100,000 troops join forces inside and outside?

This is also unrealistic, how can it be possible to defeat an army of 700,000?

The rest is to hold on?

Waiting for the right opportunity to annihilate in one fell swoop?

Thinking of this, he said randomly: "The army defending the city is defending to the death, waiting for the 700,000 army to be demoralized, and then the inside and outside should join forces and rush to kill the Chinese army camp!" ”

Zhuge Liang didn't think about it, and said directly: "The 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry of the Chinese army are all elite divisions!" ”

Lu You pondered for a moment, but still couldn't think of any way, so he could only sigh helplessly, and asked with a little doubt: "What should I do?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "You have to ask the general, this is how our border army took Xiangguan before!" ”

When Lu You heard this, he turned his head and looked at Su Mo not far away, only to see the latter nodding slightly, and then said with a smile: "The secret method of victory of my border army, I will not pass it on!" ”

Hearing this, Qi Linchen's brows tightened on the side, and his expression was puzzled.

200,000 border troops defeated 700,000?

Wrong, that is in the face of millions of troops, plus 700,000 troops in Xiangguan, sent troops to save Xiangguan.

This is equivalent to 200,000 border troops facing 1.7 million troops.

Save Xiangguan when you are still in a hurry!

At that time, the war report was considered a fraud, until a piece of news appeared that made him change his mind.

The border army suddenly had 80,000 more elite divisions, well-equipped and unparalleled in combat power!

In the description of this battle report, there is no explanation of where the 80,000 elite divisions came from.

It was only the rear hand of the border army that was ambushed outside the Hunan Pass early.

But there are too many strange things in it, and he still doesn't know about it.

Zhuge Liang saw that cold sweat broke out on Lu You's forehead, and then asked with a smile: "Since you have the ability to govern the country and secure the country, Liang has another question, I don't know if you can answer it?" ”

On the side, Lu You's luck calmed down, forcibly stabilized his mind, looked at Zhuge Liang, and nodded.

He had to win this game this time.

Otherwise, his so-called state-governing state, and his ability to calm the world will become a joke, not to mention serving as a military advisor under Su Mo.

When he came to the border before, the master told him.

Today's teacher is extremely important, even related to his life, and cannot be missed, so he has been prepared well in advance.

Unexpectedly, the first debate was defeated.

He never expected that Zhuge Liang would be able to come up with such an example to prove it.

Now, if he loses to the latter in this second debate, his name as a national teacher will seem a bit empty.

Seeing that he was ready, Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "If you become the prime minister, how should the six border cities develop, so that they can compete with the Great Zhou Dynasty!" ”

Lu You's idea for a while was to directly refuse and scold angrily!

The six border cities want to compete with the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Unless you have a bad brain, you don't think so.

A dynasty that has existed for more than 300 years, and you still want to compete with six border cities?

But in the next second, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Isn't the current border competing with the Liyang Dynasty?

It's an exaggeration that he still wins all the time.

In this seemingly unbelievable process, Lu You began to think about the countermeasures selected by the six border cities.

They first thought of the Great Zhou Dynasty as a snake, and then secretly developed their power.

In the end, he showed his fangs, tore off the border army of the Great Zhou Dynasty with lightning speed, and finally got a chance to breathe and negotiate peace with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Thinking about this, he thought about the essence of the problem.

How to develop?

It is a well-established fact that the frontier is a remote place.

Even he thinks so.

But the fact is that it is a poor and remote place, and an invincible army has been cultivated.

can defeat millions of elites with 300,000 border troops.

He's not the kind of hairy kid who can attribute victory to the so-called momentum, the so-called faith.

This is the cultivation world, no matter how much you believe, the innate realm of others can easily destroy thousands of troops.

If you want to win, then you need to be well-equipped, the soldiers are strong, and the commander is resourceful, these three points are indispensable.

The last two of these are easy to achieve, after all, the most important thing in the border is the good fighting army.

But being well-equipped is extremely troublesome.

Equipment means money, and good equipment means an extremely large amount of money, which is difficult.

Suddenly, he thought of the rumors about the border army opening a trade route, and then said with a smile: "Take advantage of the geographical advantages of the border pass, trade with the Dawu Dynasty, the Xiongnu, and the Liyang Dynasty, and open a trade road from it!" ”

His answer made Qi Linchen extremely satisfied.

He stroked his beard with a smug look on his face.

This apprentice of his own deserves to be a celestial posture, and his reaction is really fast!

Looking at the expressions of the two, Zhuge Liang asked again: "How can the border become rich by opening a trade route to sell goods from all over the world?" Can't other borders bring in those things? ”

Hearing this question, Lu You pondered for a while and came up with an answer in his heart.

Since there are other places to go, I'll ship more.

In addition, the geographical location of our border pass is the most advantageous, and I directly buy all the same type of items into my own hands, and then sell them to domestic nobles at a high price, making a lot of money from them.

Thinking about this, he immediately said: "Win by quantity, buy low and sell high." ”

When the words were spoken, all the adjutant generals of the border army laughed.

Isn't that what the Great General used in the first place?

Later, the general said that such profits were too low, and he still had to open his own factory, and the border army gave up this method.

Zao Wou-Ki retorted with a smile: "We used the method you said at the beginning, but this kind of profit is too low, and we can't afford to pay our brothers' military salaries all year round." ”

Lu You looked at him in surprise, and asked with a look of disbelief, "How is it possible?" ”

Zao Wou-Ki and the others said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, you can naturally verify it, the six border cities are all here, how can you cheat?" ”

His words made Lu You completely confused.

Zao Wou-Ki is right.

If you don't believe it, you can naturally verify it, and there is no need to deceive him.

But if this is not the case, where will the border army get the money?

As far as he knew, the border army had raised 50,000 elite cavalry.

Ten years ago, the poor border army couldn't even pay their salaries, so how could they afford to support the border army?

Moreover, after the expansion of the army, the border army reached 700,000 troops.

If you rely on such means, you will naturally not be able to raise an army of such a scale.

Not to mention sixteen cities, even thirty-six cities can't support an army of 700,000.

But now these are all things, and it seems extremely strange and surprising to believe it.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Buy low and sell high, how can you create higher profits by yourself?" ”

"Our border army has set up its own factories to produce glazed arts and crafts, and sold them to various countries at a high price, so it is naturally rich!"

Hearing this, Lu You immediately shook his head again and again.
