Chapter 75 Trick Kan Ze

I laughed, I thought it was a gentleman's funny.

Kong Ming has been cautious all his life, unless he doesn't mention it, as long as the strategy that comes out of his mouth is a 10% chance of winning, I will not hesitate to implement it, let alone 30%.

What's more, the definition of defeat in his mouth is not that Ji Han will defeat this war, in my understanding, he can't quickly defeat Eastern Wu in Jiangbei and fights into a stalemate, which will affect the time for Ji Han to stabilize the world, and the main force of Eastern Wu will flee to Jiangdong intact when he sees the situation, so that Ji Han will have to cross the river to fight, the definition is failure.

This kind of "failure", if the opponent learns about it, will make the opponent angry to death.

I held Kong Ming's hand: "Sir, I have never worried about Dongwu, I am only worried about whether your body can withstand such a big battle." ”

Kong Ming smiled indifferently: "I have been raised for more than a year, and if I don't do any more activities, I'm afraid that I will even forget how to use soldiers." Your Majesty should be a micro-minister. ”

I nodded, "So, sir." ”

At present, the strength of Soochow is still very considerable. First of all, they have not experienced any huge wars in these years, and this attack on Cao Wei can be said to be bloodless, so their strength has risen extremely rapidly. Secondly, the overall minister structure of Eastern Wu is young, and unlike Cao Wei and Ji Han, most of the first-class generals at the time of the Battle of Chibi are still alive, which is a force that cannot be underestimated. But these are not the main ones, and more importantly, there is a tradition in this country, that is, whenever he is forced to nowhere to retreat, he will always unite and burst out with terrible power. The Battle of Chibi was like this, and so was Cao Pi's southern expedition. The same is true of his father's attack on Wu, which has never happened.

As insidious as a poisonous snake, as cunning as a fox, as stoic as a bitter bamboo, and as explosive as saltpeter, this is the impression that this emerging country of Soochow has always given me. To be honest, although I am in-laws, I don't like Soochow very much. Except for Sun Shangxiang and Dongdeng, he didn't like anyone in the Sun family.

I understand. In fact, this is exactly what Mr. is worried about.

Jiangnan talents should not be underestimated.

Yes, when it comes to overall strength, Ji Han can almost reach more than twice that of Eastern Wu, even if it is not as strong as Cao Cao's back then, but it is not much different. And the Jiangnan of this era is not the Jiangnan of future generations, and most of the area is an uncivilized barren land. With a small population, few resources, and a long confrontation, they will definitely be dragged down. But I don't want to fight for a long time, because the world will inevitably fall into turmoil again. This is not what I was hoping for.

If you make full use of the opportunity of the Eastern Wu to attack Cao and eliminate the main force of the Eastern Wu in a battle, it will of course be the most ideal result.

But how do we get the enemy to come to face at the right time and on the battlefield we want?

After all. Things on the battlefield have always been the most difficult to grasp, and no kind of wise man can really calculate everything in the world.

Just as Sima Yi was also defeated at the hands of my land.

And sir, can you do it?

In August, Kong Ming ordered Jiang Wei and Wang Ping to lead 30,000 troops out of Yingchuan, and Pang De and Shi Tao to lead 30,000 troops to Mangdang Mountain. Arrived at the enemy Soochow in advance. The two sides fought for half a day, each with injuries, and then they retreated and confronted each other.

Eastern Wu sent people to reiterate the intention of repairing the old good, and expressed their willingness to join forces with Ji Han to attack Cao Wei and divide the territory of Cao Wei equally.

Of course, this is just a pretext for Eastern Wu, all they want is that Ji Han will no longer interfere in the battle of Sun Cao, and will take advantage of the current opportunity to continue to attack Cao Wei. If you want to bite off this piece of fat as soon as possible. Swallow. He couldn't give Cao Wei a chance to breathe, and he couldn't confront Ji Han at the same time.

It's all there. That's what we expected.

The one who came to see me in Luoyang was Kan Ze Kan Derun, a famous minister of Eastern Wu, who was a native of Huiji Shanyin, and was now the prince and the prince, and received the Chinese order. In Soochow, he is also a man of his word. When Chibi broke Cao, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, he personally crossed the river and descended the book, facing a generation of traitorous male Cao Cao Mengde, his face did not change, and he talked eloquently, even if the sword and axe were added, he was not afraid, deceived Cao Cao, and made great contributions to Eastern Wu. Such a person, the earth is indeed rare in the world.

He came to Ji Han in person this time, naturally to use his identity to show his sincerity and use his clever mouth to impress me. However, in the meantime, I am afraid that there is also the purpose of probing Ji Han's truth and testing Ji Han's true intentions.

For such a shrewd person, it is difficult to trick him. Therefore, we ordered that all places along the way, where Lord Kan passed, he would never be allowed to visit any place, he would not be allowed to communicate with anyone in private, he would not be allowed to go deep into the people and enter the barracks, and even his cars should be completely closed, and he would not be allowed to see the scenery on the road......

This has only one effect, and that is to tell Kan Ze that everything he sees will only be what we want him to see.

I have never doubted the colorful imagination of these great men of the day.

On the first day, Kan Ze handed in his credentials and was arranged to be in the pavilion. Then dozens of Ji and Han ministers took turns to ask whether Dongwu had the sincerity to unite with Ji Han, and if so, why did Dongwu sneak attack Yizhou and Shangyong, and asked why Dongwu didn't say any greetings to Ji Han before attacking Cao Wei, and some people even mentioned why Dongwu attacked Jingzhou back then.

Kan Ze replied calmly at first, and then smiled indifferently, without saying a word, and ordered the eviction of customers.

Kan Ze and his entourage stayed up until late at night, and suddenly heard the sound of sharpening knives from the window, and all the guards were frightened and on guard, only Kan Ze lay high until dawn.

Hearing the report, I couldn't help but nod, Kan Ze is indeed a remarkable person. What kind of psychological warfare, fatigue warfare, is of no use to him. Not tempted by profit, not moved by fame, not by profit, exquisite heart is only for Soochow, noble ambition is like the bright moon, it is indeed a good opponent.

Only in this way can he be more valued by Eastern Wu and respected by Sun Quan, and only by deceiving him can this battle be regarded as a little hope.

The next day, I received Kan Ze warmly in the main hall and apologized directly for yesterday's incident and asked him not to be surprised. Tell him at the same time. In Ji Han, there were a large number of courtiers who did not believe in Eastern Wu and planned to lead a thousand armies and sweep Eastern Wu. Ji Handi does have this strength. But as an emperor, I have to consider the people of the world and the feelings of the Queen Mother Sun Shangxiang, and I have done my best to suppress it, and I have already done my best. I said to Kan Ze: "Ji Han Dongwu. It was the good of Qin and Jin. Please tell Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, that now under today, there is no Wei State, and some are only Cao Rui, the king of Wei under Ji Han. Attacking Cao Rui is attacking Ji Han! After I asked Lord Kan to go back, I told Lord Wu that Ji Han could not tolerate Eastern Wu continuing to go north. It is not tolerated that Soochow will attack the land of Qingzhou! Otherwise, the two armies can only meet each other! ”

Speaking of which, although I am usually very gentle and laugh with the ministers, when I get angry. The ministers did not not not fear. Even Kan Ze's face changed slightly. Then I took him around the city, and showed him the following directions:

"Lord Zhongshu Ling, although this Luoyang City is only the eastern capital of Ji Han. But the grain and grass are sufficient, enough for an army of 200,000 for a year, and as for Chang'an and Yecheng, the grain and grass are piled up, which is not at all what the little Dongwu can imagine! ”

"Lord Zhongshu Ling, what do you think of my Ji Han Junwei? What you see is just the border army, not the main force of Ji Han, you see. Even if it is a border army, its combat power is not inferior to the main force of Dongwu. What's more, the army of Eastern Wu only knows the navy, if it is on land, I am afraid that it will be defeated with one blow! ”

"Lord Zhongshu Ling, what do you think of my Ji Han weapon? Ji Han Ordnance. It's all made with precision. It has the ability to cut gold and break jade, which is a rare weapon in the world. With the elite soldiers of Ji Han, Poe insists on sharpness, crisscrossing the battlefield, who can be the enemy? ”

……

In this way, I boasted to Kan Ze for a long time, like a rich man who boasted of his possessions. It wasn't until the servants around Kan Ze turned pale that they gave up and took Kan Ze back to the court. I saw a glimmer of light in Kan Ze's eyes, and unlike others, he was slightly frightened on the surface, but in fact he had relaxed.

On the way, Kan Ze suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Prime Minister Zhuge is not in good health, and I didn't see him when I came this time, I want to visit, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

I immediately shook my head and said, "No! Then he smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I mean that the prime minister has been too busy lately, and besides, he is not in Luoyang, and it will take some time to return." It seems that this time it can only be fate. ”

Kan Ze smiled and said, "It's a pity. ”

When Kan Ze left, I told him again that he must bring my words to Sun Quan, telling Sun Quan that if he attacked Cao Wei, it was likely to trigger a decisive battle between Ji Han and Eastern Wu, and if he fought in the land of Qingxu, Eastern Wu would definitely lose!

Kan Ze nodded and left.

Looking at the back of Kan Ze and his entourage leaving in a hurry, I smiled slightly. When I returned to the palace and met Kong Ming, I asked, "Have I been overdoing anything wrong with my performance in the past two days?" ”

Kong Ming smiled: "Tepid, just right." ”

I smiled and said, "In the past few days, except for saying that you are not there, I haven't said a word of falsehood, and everything I have seen for Kan Ze is also true." ”

Kong Ming said: "Only in this way can he not believe a word." He must have thought that if His Majesty really had such a strong strength, he would have attacked Soochow a long time ago, instead of using tricks in the court to threaten him, an envoy. What's more, since His Majesty was protected by Weichen last year and let the ministers recuperate, Wei and Wu have begun to discuss whether Weichen has fallen out of favor and whether His Majesty wants to idle Weichen. ”

When Kong Ming said these words, he was completely immersed in state considerations, and I rarely constrained myself with him in the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, so he said that the sentence "those who are feared by Eastern Wu are only ministers" came out naturally and did not have any consideration. And I, I would never think about whether his words were a little disrespectful, after all, I am the monarch, he is the prime minister, and Dongwu is afraid of him but not me.

But, to be honest, I really envy him. After all, it is harder to gain the respect of your opponents than it is to gain the respect of your own people.

Everything depends on whether Soochow continues to go north.
