Abdicate and make way for Xian!

It's not the first time that Prime Minister Yu has had this idea.

A long, long time ago, Prime Minister Yu once said to Jiang Hua in private, and he said this at that time: "Lord, now our Yancheng can be said to be full of talents. ”

"Fengyi, Quwu, Feng Qingyang, these local talents have also slowly been trained. And outsiders such as Xiao He and Wu Qi are even more unparalleled. ”

"For such national soldiers, we naturally want to give high positions, this is one of them."

"As for the second, there are now nearly 100 counties inside and outside Yancheng, and the ministers have exhausted their energy to deal with various government affairs every day. In order not to make mistakes, the ministers followed the example of the sovereign and handled government affairs in the Yellow Sky World. ”

"But even so, using one day as ten days, many times, the minister still has to use various pills, spiritual roots, and magic weapons to boost the minister's spirit, so that the minister will be in a state of energy for a long time, but this is not a lasting way."

"As for the third, as our Yancheng continues to become stronger, sooner or later we will become princes. Even at this moment, we in Yancheng often have to deal with some major matters related to the situation in the vicinity. It is already the limit for the minister to deal with the dozens of counties under the rule of Yancheng, and it is really not enough to deal with these major events involving other countries and Yancheng in the next few hundred years. ”

"Actually, the minister really wants to accompany the lord all the time, but the minister's ability is limited. Governing a county, needless to say, is easy to capture. ”

"Governing a county, the minister can be regarded as excellent."

"However, to govern the dozens of counties in Yancheng, it is necessary to coordinate at least dozens of new departments to reduce friction and work together in the same boat, which is already the limit of the minister."

"Moreover, the minister is now in the position of prime minister, and he can only be regarded as qualified. This qualification is still the result of the minister's use of pills and magic weapons, or the result of the minister's diligence. Today's Yancheng does not need a qualified prime minister, what it needs is not a diligent prime minister, what it needs is a prime minister with good skills and strong governing ability. And even if the minister tried everything, he could barely be a qualified prime minister. ”

"Today, with the rapid development of Yancheng, a qualified prime minister is actually dragging his feet!"

This is what the old prime minister said when he resigned for the first time and communicated with Jiang Hua in private, but Jiang Hua rejected it.

Later, the old prime minister put forward this idea several times, but Jiang Hua rejected it.

At this moment, before Jiang Hua could speak, Xiao He shook his head again and again: "Why do you say this?" Why do you say that? ”

"Today's Yancheng is inseparable from the prime minister."

However, Prime Minister Yu really felt that he was not capable enough to govern the entire Yancheng, so the idea of resigning was also very resolute: "Now that the minister continues to stay in the position of the prime minister, it will only drag down the development of Yancheng." ”

Fortunately, all of the people here are really high-level, and there are no outsiders at all. Otherwise, what will others think of such news when it spreads?

After thinking about it, Jiang Hua said directly: "That's it, Uncle Yu, you continue to be the prime minister, and I will let Master Xiao be your assistant." ”

"From now on, Bachelor Xiao will be a member of the Cabinet University and a scholar."

Thinking about it above board, this is to make Xiao He single-handedly serve as the two major departments of the Prime Minister's Office.

Today's Prime Minister's Mansion is still the undoubted big brother in terms of government affairs.

And the cabinet is the big brother in the way of the law into life, as well as many new departments.

Many new departments will first be attached to the cabinet, and after a period of time, they will grasp the characteristics of the new department, and then send this stable new department to the government affairs system.

At this moment, Xiao He is a cabinet scholar and a scholar of Shang Shuling, at best, he is the first person in Yancheng's internal affairs, which fully proves Jiang Hua's trust in him.

And if you think about it badly, in terms of internal affairs, it is Shang Shuling rather than the prime minister. There is also a prime minister above his head, even if this prime minister slowly doesn't care about things in the future, but as long as the prime minister is in one day, Shang Shuling is not a legitimate prime minister, just the second one.

As for the cabinet, there is only one of the four scholars, and the remaining three are all localists.

At first glance, it is quite reusable, but if you look closely, you will be constrained in all aspects.

It is called reuse and restriction, which is called ugly talk in front, and it is also called system construction to restrict, so as not to give talents the opportunity to make mistakes.

After thinking about it, Jiang Hua assigned a task to Xiao He: "Sir, Yancheng will officially become a prince next, and now it is Lixia, so I will leave it to you to handle this matter and become a prince within three years as much as possible, are you confident?" ”

To become a prince, you don't just have to shout your voice, you have to get the edict of Zhou Tianzi, and you have to fully show your strength. However, with the current power of Yancheng, it is basically only the last step away from the princes.

Xiao He affirmed: "Of course." ”

"In addition, the gentleman also needs to unify the manpower."

"Of course, this is just the government side."

Xiao He nodded again, how could he say no at this time?

"This plan should be as inclusive as possible. Some aspects of our Yancheng can also be appropriately disclosed, which is also a way to show strength. ”

Xiao He nodded for the third time.

……

Jiang Hua and others were busy with internal affairs, busy sorting out internal affairs, busy turning into a vassal state, and Wu was also busy.

Since Xiangliu was reversed by Jiang Hua back then, the high-level officials of Wu State have been holding their breath and always thinking about making a big news.

Later, Wu Guo found that Yancheng did not have the idea of continuing to develop outward, but put the focus on land reclamation, the development of the sea, and the maritime trade, so he was relieved.

If he could, on the premise that there were a lot of soft persimmons, Wu Guo wanted to pinch the soft persimmons first, and he didn't want to face the three saints so quickly.

When the time came to the tenth year of the hundred families, Mr. Changqing's military training was over.

There was another prefecture-level Dao soldier in the world, and at the moment of the birth of this Dao soldier, he also carried a little bit of destiny and successfully became a great real person.

However, at the request of Wu Guo, this news is currently in a state of blockade.

Subsequently, Mr. Changqing commanded the army of Wu to attack Xu, this time to destroy the country.

Xu was once very strong, once strong enough to gather the surrounding small countries to resist the rule of Zhou Tianzi, and established an anti-Zhou Tianzi alliance several times, until the time of King Zhou Mu, Xu was completely subdued by Zhou Tianzi, and was completely made a prince by Zhou Tianzi.

At that time, Xu Guo's strength declined.

Since then, Xu has been in a long-term recession.

Qi, Lu, Song, and Chu......

The surrounding countries all look down on Xu Guo, and they all regard Xu Guo as an outsider, and they have been squeezing out a certain country for a long time, and they have been squeezed out in all aspects, and over time, it is normal for this country to decline.

By now, the state of Xu has declined to the point where there are only one or two hundred counties left, and the area alone is not as large as the country. As for the strength, Heyue may only be half a catty.

In just three years, the main force of the Xu State was wiped out.

The capital of Xu has now been surrounded for two years, and the other surrounding cities have been occupied one by one.

The state of Xu is far from being completely destroyed, and there is only the last capital left.

As for the reinforcements, there are no reinforcements!

Xu State is a country of outsiders, in the eyes of many nobles, the political status of Xu State is similar to that of Chu State and Qin State, and even inferior, who makes Xu State so weak.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, He Lu convened high-level officials to discuss the current war.

"Now the main force of Xu State has been wiped out, but the resistance forces in various places have risen and fallen, and they have never been cut off, these resistance forces have greatly increased our consumption, and we must break through the capital of Xu State as soon as possible." Wu Zixu, who was full of white hair, looked at the map and said directly.

The logistics of the army was the responsibility of Wu Zixu, and this time Wu attacked Xu, and the troops were all Taoist soldiers.

There are more than fifty yellow-level Dao soldiers, and there are also six Xuan-level Dao soldiers, and the prefecture-level Dao soldiers also silently followed, but they never made a move.

These yellow-level Dao soldiers, as few as 2,000 people, and as many as 5,000 people, and the owner of each of the yellow-level Dao soldiers is a certain big nobleman in the country. The difference is that some of the great nobles are loyal to the king, and some are loyal to the state of Wu (who is the king is loyal to whom).

As for the Dao soldiers that were completely controlled by Wu Hou himself, there were not many.

These yellow-level Dao soldiers, just eating and drinking every day is a huge resource.

Even if it is a million-pound demon, that is, half a month's food for a yellow-level Dao soldier, there is still no war. In the event of a war, the food requirements are even higher.

Therefore, although the yellow-level Dao soldiers marched extremely fast, traveling hundreds to thousands of miles a day, the logistics could not keep up, and they could only be hungry and full if they relied on the army to catch the monsters: the monsters were not fools, and they ran away early when they encountered the army.

The demon king and the big demon with a lot of meat have run away, and the ones who can't run away are the group of little demons and goblins, and the army is dispatched to hunt the little goblins and goblins, which can indeed withstand a temporary consumption, but after a long time, they are still hungry. These little demons and goblins, under the net-like capture of the Taoist soldiers, can't run away, not enough to eat, not enough to eat at all!

In the first raid, after failing to break through the capital of Xu, the rest could only collect grain on the spot and slowly transport it from the rear.

And the transportation efficiency of ordinary people is very touching.

But requisitioning grain on the spot will definitely violate the interests of the local nobles, even if they become the leading party at the beginning, after a long period of grain requisition, the local nobles will want to rebel. It is normal to secretly cooperate with the Xu army to resist on a small scale.

As for whether the contradictions between the two sides can be reconciled, unfortunately, they can't.

Let the army of Wu go hungry?

That's impossible!

Then you can only grieve the local nobles.

But the local nobles don't want to be wronged, they were squeezed by the Xu State before they took refuge in the Wu State, and after they took refuge in your Wu State, they were squeezed by the Wu State, isn't that for nothing?

As a result, a large number of local nobles let one of their children quietly take the wealth accumulated by the family to settle in Yancheng, and complete the family inheritance by the way.

After the inheritance problem was not worried, a large number of nobles began to live.

Although it is inconvenient for Yancheng to join directly due to the relationship between the Wu State, it is still no problem to sell magic weapons and sell a large number of magic weapons specifically used for destruction.

With these magic weapons, Wu's logistics, as well as the small army, have been affected to a certain extent.

Thinking about the current situation, Wu Zixu continued: "If we can't solve it quickly, then we must find a way to break the enemy's resistance, such as leaving them a way to live, so that they can leave safely with their family and wealth, instead of wanting to swallow everything in one bite like now." ”

He Lu thought about it and looked directly at Mr. Changqing, who nodded affirmatively: "If I directly show my strength, or directly use the ground-level Dao soldiers, I can instantly break through the capital of the Xu State, but in this way, the news will be exposed, and the Chu State will have an early warning." ”

As soon as he thought of the great enemy of the Chu State, He Lu endured it.

In order to give Chu a big surprise at that time, He Lu felt that he could endure it a little longer.

"Is there any other way?"

Wu Zixu thought about it again: "We can actually negotiate peace with Xu Guo and let them go." In addition, in the territory of Xu State, everyone who wants to leave can leave, so that all the nobles will leave, leaving only the common people and savages, and Xu State will become our territory. ”

"Then isn't this that we have obtained land and population, and Yancheng has obtained the wealth of Xu State, but we have worked hard but we can't harvest it all. And Yancheng sold things on the side, and directly obtained all the wealth, which is too cheap Yancheng, right? Sir, you can't be so partial to Yancheng just because Yancheng is the future of qi practitioners, right? ”

Hearing the words of the little cub Fucha, Wu Zixu had a headache, and if he could, he wanted to beat the Fucha.

Before Wu Zixu could make a move, He Lu did it first, and went up with a slap: "Husband, do you have the right to speak?" Did Lone make you speak? ”

The husband who was slapped had to bow his head and admit his mistake, and Mr. Changqing watched this scene silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wu Zixu didn't pay attention to this matter at all, his biggest goal in this life was to take revenge on Chu Hou, and if he had the chance, he would kill him with his own hands!

As for the things in front of you, they don't matter at all.

"The demise of the Xu State is inevitable, the main force of the Xu State was defeated by us in one battle and wiped out in three wars, even if our army leaves at this moment, the Xu State will be wiped out by the Lu State, the Song State, the Qi State and other countries."

"Let's let Xu Hou realize this, and when Xu Hou calms down and finds that Xu Guo is bound to perish, let's have a good talk with Xu Hou, and we can give Xu Hou a county as a fief afterwards."

"In addition, we must also make it clear to the nobles in the city and tell them that the Xu Kingdom will surely perish, and it is time to find a next family."

"In this way, the hearts of the people in the capital will be gone, and after the hearts of the people disappear, the difficulty of breaking through the capital of Xu will inevitably be greatly reduced."

"In addition, you can also encircle the three missing one and directly open a gate, so that they can leave the capital safely and openly with their wealth and clansmen. There is always a way for the nobles to leave, and we will not stop ......"

"In the end, the hearts of the people are scattered, and those who can run have run, and this capital will naturally fall into our hands."
