Chapter Eighty-Five: Opportunity!
The battle of Qi and Tang lasted for three years, and both Qi and Tang were already at the end of their strong crossbows.
This makes the state of Chu, which has been cheating and watching, already ready to move.
However, the speed of the armistice between Qi and Tang was really beyond everyone's expectations.
Of course, thanks to Kong Wen Qin Zhen and Tian Ji of Qi State, the three of them reached a truce as quickly as possible, which made the previous layout of Chu State completely unresponsive.
However, the State of Chu did not intend to give up its layout, and still eyed the State of Qi and the State of Tang.
After several months of fierce debate, the court of Chu finally decided to use troops against both Tang and Qi.
In the eyes of most Chu people, after the first war between Qi and Tang, both countries were already very weak.
Attacking the two countries at this time will inevitably reap huge benefits from the two countries.
As a result, the state of Chu gathered 300,000 troops on the border of Tang and 200,000 troops on the border of Qi, for a total of 500,000 troops.
After Du Tao reported to the court, the Tang State urgently recruited soldiers and sent 250,000 troops to reinforce Huai County.
This time, the commander of the Tang State was no longer Qin Zhen, the general of Zhenguo, but was replaced by Chi Xiong, the Marquis of Lu Bo, and Du Tao, the county guard of Huai County, as his deputy.
After reading the news from Jingshi, Qin Yu handed it to Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan.
After Qin Yuan saw Wei Chixiong's name, his brows suddenly furrowed.
"After reading it, tell me what you think." Qin Yu looked at the two of them and said.
At this time, Xiao He, who had finished peeking at the news, jumped out, raised his hand and said, "I have something to say." ”
Qin Yu didn't expect Xiao He to be so positive.
"Then let's talk about it first."
"Ahem." Xiao He cleared his throat and said: "After the battle of Qi and Tang, both Qi and Tang are no longer able to fight, and at this time, the Chu State sends troops, which is tantamount to taking advantage of the fire to rob. ”
"However, robbery is not easy to fight at this time. After months of recovery, the Tang and Qi states had already survived the most difficult time to a certain extent. ”
Qin Yu pistled his chin and watched Xiao He analyze in front of him.
Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan also looked at it, and after getting along for a long time, both of them knew that this Xiao He was simply a prodigy.
Don't look at the young one, but in terms of vision and strategy, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve.
Xiao He continued, "The state of Chu passed through the Tang State and the State of Qi, and it was nothing more than wanting to grab some territory and other benefits, but sending troops at this time would attract the wrath of the two countries of Qi and Tang. ”
"This time, the state of Chu may not be able to get benefits, and it may even offend the two countries completely, which is really an unwise choice."
Qin Yu looked at Xiao He and asked, "Do you think the other four countries will make any moves?" ”
After careful consideration, Xiao He said, "The State of Qi is likely to ask the State of Zhao for help, and now that the State of Jin is busy suppressing the State of Wei and the State of Song, these three countries have absolutely no energy to take care of the war in our east. ”
Qin Yu nodded, Xiao He's analysis was similar to his own, but he felt that Zhao Guo would not participate in the war.
After all, on the northern border of Zhao State, after Rong Di passed the late winter, he was afraid that he would go south to fight the spring breeze.
However, the subsequent developments also proved that Xiao He's analysis was correct, and Qin Yu's ideas were still slightly insufficient.
Qin Yu looked at Gongsun Qi and asked, "Tell me about it." ”
Gongsun Qi arched his hand to Qin Yu and said, "My subordinates feel that this is an opportunity for us. ”
Several people were stunned and looked at Gongsun Qi suspiciously. As soon as the war starts, it is likely to affect Cangxian, how can it become an opportunity.
Gongsun Qi continued: "The war between the Three Kingdoms will inevitably lead to a large number of displaced people, as long as we can ensure the safety of Cangxian County, plus enough food and land, we can attract a large number of people. ”
"It's easy to say, but it's hard to do." Qin Yuan said, "Cangxian County is adjacent to Qi Chu, and it was infamous before, no one would want to come here." ”
"How about I arrange this?" Xiao He said suddenly.
Qin Yu's gaze turned to Xiao He, and the corners of his mouth lifted a slight smile.
Xiao He's most powerful thing is not strategy, but logistics, attracting population, which is also part of logistics.
Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan didn't believe Xiao He a little, after all, no matter how talented a child was, it was impossible to do this kind of thing well.
Gongsun Qi then arched his hand and said: "My lord, we can prepare food on the border, and at the same time spread people to publicize, which should attract people." ”
"I don't think it's appropriate, I'm afraid it will cause Qi Chu's anger, and those people won't necessarily stay after they get food."
"Alright." Qin Yu waved his hand to stop the words of the two, looked at Xiao He and said, "This matter is handed over to Xiao He, so people, including me, fully cooperate with Xiao He." ”
"Lord Xie trusts!" Tears flickered in the corners of Xiao He's eyes, Qin Yu's trust in himself was even better than in his previous life, after all, he looked like a child now.
Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan looked at each other, they didn't expect Qin Yu to trust Qin Yu so much, and such an important matter was handed over to Xiao He.
Moreover, everyone has to cooperate with Xiao He, and even the adults themselves have to cooperate.
At this time, Qin Yu looked at Qin Yuan again, "You have a lot of connections, pay more attention to the changes in the current situation, and report to me at any time." ”
"No!" Qin Yuan lowered his head, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes.
This time, in the face of the invasion of the Chu State, the county guard Du Tao did not recruit soldiers and horses from Cangxian County.
First, because Cangxian County is now in ruins, and there are not many soldiers and horses.
The second reason is that although Cangxian County was neglected by the Three Kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Tang, its location is still very important.
Especially after Cangxian has been cleaned now, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Chu State, and if the Chu State attacks from now on, the location of Cangxian County will be very important.
Therefore, Qin Yu only now has the heart to do this series of actions.
And just when Qin Yu started to act, Zhao Xingzhi, who had never shown his face, was also acting.
This time the Chu State attacked the Tang Dynasty, which was an opportunity for Zhao Xingzhi to return to the Tang Dynasty!
Zhao Xingzhi wrote a large volume of essays and prepared to send them to the Tang Dynasty.
"Dad, you've locked yourself in the study for days, it's time to go out for a walk." Zhao Linger brought lunch to Zhao Xingzhi.
Zhao Xingzhi put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "This is the key to whether my father can return to Beijing, and I can't be careless." ”
"Dad, do we have to go back to Jingshi? I think it's nice to be here, too. Zhao Ling'er asked in a low voice.
Zhao Xing was stunned and looked up at his daughter.
"Alas! You should think that your father is a layman, and in this life as a father, you can't escape the word power desire. ”
"Let my father make a county order here that can't do anything, it's better to let my father go back to the countryside to farm comfortably."
"Dad, are you complaining that Lord Qin Yu has taken away your rights?" Zhao Ling'er looked at her father and asked.
Zhao Xingzhi stood up and shook his head, "Qin Yu, he is a capable person, he has done what his father can't do, if he has the opportunity, his father wants to take him to Jingshi to be an official, he must be a good official." ”
"It's a pity that this kid hasn't grown up yet, and he hasn't seen through the nature of this world." Zhao Xingzhi smiled bitterly.
