Ying Xiaozheng looked at Han Fei and Li Si, and then at Meng Tian, who was a child (although he was indeed young), and sighed in his heart.

My subordinates are mature and steady, and they really can't compare to my uncles, let alone uncles.

"Here is the current map of the Chu State." Zhu Xiang got straight to the point, first hung the map of Chu on the wall, "Let me introduce the meaning of the map logo." ”

People who study agronomy are good at geography. Zhu Xiang may have a vague memory of administrative areas and major minerals, but he doesn't even need to think about the topography and hydrology of the paintings.

Zhu Xiang can even mark the main grain output of each area on this map. But that was more than 2,000 years later, and it has nothing to do with the present.

According to his memory and the map of Chu that he has collected now, Zhu Xiang depicts the approximate location of the mountains, rivers, plains, and cities of Chu.

Li Mu was already familiar with the maps depicted by Zhu Xiang, and he himself had learned some of the map drawing patterns that Zhu Xiang "invented".

Wang Jian saw this kind of map from Li Mu's hand, and only then did he know that the original source was Zhu Xiang, and Li Mu didn't even tell him, so he was really not a friend.

Lü Buwei, Li Si, Han Fei, and Meng Tian didn't know anything, and Zhu Xiang's current introduction was mainly to teach them.

After the introduction, Zhu Xiang marked the name of the feudal monarch under the city.

From this map, it can be seen that the king of Chu seems to have become the king of Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are very few counties directly under him, and almost all the big cities are controlled by the feudal monarch.

When the state of Chu reformed in Wuqi, it also adopted the county system. After the abolition of the reform, although the state of Chu, like the other six states, the county system and the feudal monarchy system went hand in hand, but the feudal monarchy gradually gained the upper hand.

The counties directly under it are generally located around the Yingdu of Chu, showing a trend of stars and moons. When Yingdu was captured by Bai Qi, most of the territory directly under the king of Chu fell.

Before Zhu Xiang said his intentions, all the people present were smart people, and they immediately saw that the king of Chu had almost been set aside.

After Zhu Xiang marked the territory of the feudal monarch on the map, he mentioned the battle of Yingdu and asked Lü Buwei to introduce the situation he found in Chu this time.

Lu Buwei's expression was very excited, and he was very grateful to Zhu Xiang for giving him this opportunity to perform.

Ying Xiaozheng's mood is very complicated.

Well, he admitted that Lu Buwei is also a talent, maybe he will not have the opportunity to be his "middle father", and he can also be knighted with his own ability.

But now, even if he calls Lü Buwei "middle father", does Lü Buwei dare to respond?

My father has slashed him to death!

Ying Xiaozheng was suddenly in a good mood, and he was finally willing to let go of Lu Buwei a little.

It's better not to cut Lu Buwei's officials without entering Xianyang Palace with his feet, leave him to do things for me, and don't give him a reward.

After listening to Lü Buwei's introduction, Li Mu and Wang Jian were moved.

Li Mu was already smiling, and Wang Jian was still frowning and thinking. It can be seen from the different expressions of the two that Li Mu is now slightly more mature than Wang Qian, and Wang Jian still needs a certain amount of tempering.

Li Si, Meng Tian and Han Fei were also frowning and thinking.

Zhu Xiang did not immediately say his conclusion, giving everyone time to think.

"Zheng'er, what do you think?" Zhu Xiang was the first to ask Ying Xiaozheng.

Ying Xiaozheng said: "If it were me, I would provoke the king of Chu to fight further with the feudal monarch, and support a feudal monarch who did not belong to the three nobles to fight with other feudal monarchs." How is Chunshen-kun? ”

Zhu Xiang looked at Li Si, Han Fei, and Meng Tian: "What do you think?" ”

Li Si was the first to speak: "This time I sold cloth and grain to the Chu State, and I am most afraid that the King of Chu ordered to prohibit Qin and Chu from trading. The feudal monarch of Chu did not listen to the direct orders of the king of Chu, and we may be able to sell cloth and buy grain directly to the feudal monarch. ”

Meng Tian thought for a long time and said, "My thoughts are the same as Li Si's. "He's just a smart boy now, and he's very quick in his work, so he didn't think about it that much.

Zhu Xiang said to Han Fei, who wanted to speak, but was a little hesitant: "Say it slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

Han Fei took a deep breath and said, "I think you can directly fight the Chu State." ”

Han Fei still stuttered a little, but after going south, he communicated with the peasants and learned to speak slowly, and it was a little strange to turn repeated words into just broken sentences, which was a big improvement.

Li Si and Meng Tian both turned their heads to look at Han Fei suddenly. Ying Xiaozheng also looked at Han Fei, his face full of suspicion.

Is this Han Fei doing something to deliberately come up with a bad idea for the sake of South Korea to weaken the Chu State?

After Li Mu heard this, he smiled and said, "I think the same way." ”

Wang Jian objected: "Although the state of Chu is weak, its territory is vast, and it cannot be completely captured without a million male troops." ”

Ying Xiaozheng touched his delicate chin. Oh, my general Wang Jian here hasn't grown up yet, and you will only need 600,000 in the future!

Wang Jian continued: "Even if there are a million strong troops, if the other five countries come to the aid of the Chu State, they may fall short. ”

Li Mu smiled lightly: "You can attack the Chu State now, not the Chu State now." ”

Wang Jian frowned first, and then his brows stretched suddenly: "What do you mean...... I understand! It does! ”

Han Fei said: "Me too, this is what I mean." ”

Li Si, who is very strong in internal affairs but does not know about wars, and does not know much about the affairs between nobles, is about to frown so much that he can trap mosquitoes.

What do you mean by "this"? Why Han Fei could come up with something, I can't think of it!

Meng Tian's eyes were already empty. I'm sorry, I can't keep up with your train of thought.

Zhu Xiang looked at Ying Xiaozheng.

Ying Xiaozheng refused to admit defeat and said: "Uncle, don't talk first, let me think about it." ”

Ying Xiaozheng jumped down from the chair, walked to the map and took a closer look, thinking back to what Zhu Xiang and the others had said before, and speculating on the intentions of Li Mu, Wang Jian and Han Fei.

Zhu Xiang smiled and shook his head.

Ying Xiaozheng's legs are not short, but he is still used to jumping off the chair, which is really too lively.

In the future, he will be the queen of Qin, but don't jump down from the throne. If Xunzi can live to that time, seeing this scene, I am afraid that he will break his leg.

"Zhu Xiang, that's how you taught Zheng'er etiquette?!"

Yes, break your own legs, not Zheng'er's legs. Zhu Xiang's mind came to mind Xunzi's angry face.

"Zheng'er, uncle has a hint for you." Zhu Xiang said, "King Chu Huai was furious after being deceived, and the whole country attacked Qin, first winning a big victory and then defeating, and finally completely defeated in Lantian, so he had no choice but to go to Qin to seek peace. ”

Ying Xiaozheng frowned with his hands behind his back and looked at Lantian on the map.

After a while, Ying Xiaozheng said: "When King Huai of Chu attacked Qin, Qin was originally difficult to resist, and then persuaded Wei, Han and Zhao to take advantage of the emptiness in Chu to attack Chu, so that Chu would ignore ......"

Ying Xiaozheng paused, then stretched his brows, and said with a loud smile: "I see, the Jianghuai area attacked by Wei Han and Zhao is the place where the feudal monarchs of the Chu State gather. ”

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction.

Ying Xiaozheng looked at the teacher's affirmation and combed it along with this aura.

"The state of Chu is the same as Zhou, the king of Chu decided to send troops, and the feudal monarch took his army to attack together. Wei Han Zhao attacked the city of the feudal monarch, and they were more worried about their fiefdom than if they could reward how many cities they could reward than to destroy the Qin State in one go. So the king of Chu wanted to advance, they wanted to retreat, and the offensive of Chu slowed down and morale was low, which led to a fiasco in Lantian. ”

"When the defeat of Lantian first appeared, Fengjun immediately used this as an excuse to withdraw his troops, which led to the defeat of the king of Chu." Li Mu added, "At this time, there are many feudal generals who send troops just to expand their fiefdoms. ”

This was the case with the uncle of King Qin Zhaoxiang.

The cities near his fiefdom that the feudal lord attacks belong to his fiefdom, not to the feudal monarch's country.

Ying Xiaozheng said: "If we only send troops to attack a few feudal monarchs, maybe the king of Chu will not send troops to help?" ”

Li Mudao: "Zheng'er, think about it again, think about what I'm best at." ”

Ying Xiaozheng wanted to talk about "water war", but when the words were about to come out, he swallowed his words and thought about it for a while.

Is the teacher good at water warfare? Of course.

But is the teacher best at water warfare? Of course not! The teacher became famous by fighting the Huns in Yanmen County! The best thing is the plain cavalry rush battle!

Ying Xiaozheng took a deep breath and said uncertainly: "Teacher, do you want to send a few cavalry to separate and harass different feudal cities, so that they can ignore each other and cause chaos?" ”

Li Mu smiled and said, "Zheng'er can think of this, but he is a teacher." ”

Ying Xiaozheng first raised a smug smile, and then remembered that he was going to be happy and angry, so he hurriedly suppressed the smile and said with a straight face: "But what good is this for us?" ”

Li Mudao: "I am only responsible for seeing the fighters. As for the benefits, it depends on what Zhu Xiang thinks. ”

Zhu Xiang asked, "Zheng'er, do you want to think about it again?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng said with empty eyes: "I don't want to." ”

He returned to his chair and sat down, lifted his chin, and motioned for his uncle to hurry up.

Zhu Xiang smiled and talked about his intentions.

This time, he is using a trade war and an invasion war, and he wants to complement the campaign that looks like a frontal attack.

"Bajun Shaotian has many soldiers, and the barbarians are fierce. As long as Shu County provides enough food to Ba County, it can organize a barbarian army from Ba County to attack Chu from the flank of Chu State, and the capital of Chu State is in the west of Chu State. ”

"Attacking head-on, it is best to lead the troops with Lian Gong and Wang Qian."

"After the Chu army was mobilized, Li Mu transported the cavalry to the south bank of the river with a boat division, occupied the port on the south bank of the river, and then carried dry food for a long time......

Zhu Xiang thought for a moment and looked at the coast.

"It is also possible to send troops from the sea, or to set up strongholds on both sides. The hinterland of the Chu State is now almost entirely flat, and the cavalry is unimpeded. ”

Li Mu said: "Only attack the city, not defend the city." ”

Zhu Xiang nodded: "Yes, to ......"

He gritted his teeth and said, "The main thing is to annihilate and disrupt the enemy." ”

Li Mu said: "The feudal monarch of Chu will definitely want to withdraw his army to keep his fiefdom, and the king of Chu will not let them withdraw from the army, because because they retreat, he may be the next king of Chu Huai." ”

"At this time, it is time for Cai Ze and Lin Li to go out and let them encourage the Chu State to become self-reliant." Zhu Xiang said, "Their fief is gone, even if the king of Chu keeps the Chu capital, what does it have to do with them?" ”

Han Fei said: "Whether they are self-reliant or not, as long as it is rumored that they are self-reliant, it is enough!" ”

Han Fei clenched his fists and said, "There will always be a feudal monarch who is self-reliant!" ”

Li Si tried to turn his brain, keep up with everyone's train of thought, and said: "The trade war can also cause a gap between the king of Chu and the feudal monarch. It's best to wait for the trade war to have some effect. ”

Lü Buwei continued: "That's right. First let them change their grain to cotton and linen, and then exchange all the grain in the treasury for cotton cloth and other items enjoyed by the nobles, so that if they send troops again, they will not have enough food for the soldiers, and they will be in chaos faster. ”

"The king of Chu shouldn't buy too much cotton, maybe the king of Chu has grain, but the feudal monarch doesn't." Li Si continued, "The king of Chu will definitely use the military rations as a threat to make the feudal monarch not allow him to withdraw his troops. ”

Han Fei said: "Maybe there will be, civil unrest!" ”

Meng Tian scratched his head anxiously, and wanted to say something as well. But the others were too fast for him to keep up.

Meng Tian was about to cry.

He originally thought that Li Si was at least on par with him, why couldn't he keep up? Even Han Fei, who came halfway, followed!

Do I want to be the first father, and in the future, I will live a rich life by hugging my thighs as a deputy general?

Zhu Xiang said: "This is a long-term plan, if it is successful, we can once again paddle with the state of Chu to rule." ”
