Zishou frowned, Wen Zhong and Zhang Youren had a disagreement, doesn't this mean that it is possible to choose the two options correctly?

Wen Zhong smiled and continued: "Don't forget General Zhang Shan. ”

"General Zhang Shan of the Tiger Fang?"

"Not bad. Wen Zhong smiled and said: "The leader of the Tiger Fang entered the court as the Tiger Marquis, and since then, all the affairs of the Tiger Fang have been handled by General Zhang, and now it has won quite a lot of popularity, which can make him pay close attention to the movements of the princes and wait for opportunities to invade the territory of the princes. ”

If the situation in Chu is optimistic, not only can he keep Echeng, but also take advantage of the situation to occupy the cities of other princes, if Chu is unstable, it also consumes the strength of all the princes, and he can also take advantage of the princes to plunder new land when the princes are fighting in Chu, even if they lose Echeng, they also get the new city. ”

Although Wen Zhong said the countermeasure, Zhang Youren still felt that it was inappropriate, and said to Zishou: "Your Majesty, the matter is very important, please think twice!"

Yes, yes, yes, you have to think twice!

Zi was shocked, Uncle Wen was really dirty, and this special family change tactic came out!

This strategy is indeed good, once it succeeds, the best case is to keep the city of Echeng and let the princes strife at the same time, and expand some territory, and the worst case is to lose the city of E.

There is no loss in changing families, and the princes consume their vitality to earn in vain!

Wen Zhong saw that his son was hesitant, and continued: "Ordering General Deng to send troops can respond to Echeng, and he is more sure to keep Echeng, and using Echeng as a lure can make the princes take care of themselves.

When Wen Zhong said this, Zishou didn't dare to adopt it, he waved his hand and asked, "Taishi, didn't you say that you have four strategies, how about the remaining two?"

Wen Zhong lowered his head slightly, and asked so, he definitely didn't plan to use the first two strategies, although this strategy is good, but there are also inappropriateness, no matter the success or failure of the strategy, the situation of the soldiers in Echeng will be extremely difficult, it seems that the king is not willing to risk the lives of the soldiers left behind in Echeng....

Wen Zhong arched his hand and said: "In addition to these two strategies, you can also contact the Baiyue clans and let their various tribes go north to help!"

"During the epidemic in the south, the tribes of Baiyue received the kindness of my great business, and they only got better, and now they only need to send people to promise heavy profits, and they will inevitably go north to Chudi. ”

Zi Shou shouted: "My soldiers, how can they be in the company of the southern barbarians? Among the Baiyue, the leader of Yu Yue has repeatedly ambushed and killed the soldiers of Sanshanguan, but also put Deng Xiu in danger, how can he believe it? Unless Baiyue surrenders, they will never be allowed to step into the border for half a step!"

Fang Xiang and Fang Bi were a little excited by this sentence, a big businessman, why should they rely on capricious barbarians?

The tiger side is available because the tiger side has already bowed down to the minister, and if Baiyue does not claim to be a minister for a day, then he will be an enemy for a day!

But Wen Zhong secretly shook his head and sighed in his heart.

If these four strategies are used together, it is definitely a superior policy, which can not only defend Echeng to the greatest extent, but also further expand the territory, suppress the princes, and cause civil strife among the princes.

At that time, the big merchant family is dominant, even if Xiqi unites all the princes to ask, it can also have the upper hand, if the immortals and the catastrophe are not counted in it, it will only take more than ten years to make Xiqi fall.

Zishou was silent for a long time, and he had to find a way to drag the army and Wen Zhong down.

"Since the Taishi said that he wanted to lure the enemy, then they all left, and I and the Taishi left together with the army, leaving not a single soldier in the city. ”

Zhang Youren was shocked: "Your Majesty... What does this mean? Abandon Echeng directly?"

If you want to withdraw, you can't just leave, how can you just give up Echeng?

"Uh... Change the title of King Yue to the King of Chu, and give him the city of Echeng, in addition, among the Chu land, no member of the merchant army can stay. ”

Zishou turned to laugh loudly: "Attack Baiyue! Since I have already led the army south, and my morale is high, why don't you take advantage of the situation to attack Baiyue?"

Wen Zhong frowned and thought for a long time.

Fang Xiang, Fang Bi, Zhang Guifang and others were dazzled.

They also speculated whether the king deliberately drove the expedition in person for another purpose.

If it is said that it is just to plot against Echeng, then it is a bit unreasonable, and if you change to other generals, even if you can't take the opportunity to make King Yue surrender, at least there will be no mistakes, and there is no need for King Su to take the risk of conquest in person.

But if it is the southern expedition to unify Baiyue, it makes sense.

Yu Yue surrendered first and then repeatedly, and even fell into the crisis of the soldiers of Sanshanguan, if it wasn't for the sudden epidemic, who knows what would have happened?

Zhang Guifang asked excitedly: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what month do you plan to move troops next year?"

Next year, I'll wait for you until next year?

It took Qin Shi Huang thirteen years to level Baiyue, even if Baiyue was not as strong as later at this time, I am afraid it would take several years of effort.

But this time, Zishou didn't plan to deliberately defeat the battle, there was no need.

He purely intends to see the world, there are a few wizards who can throw witchcraft on the earth, and there should be a lot of strangers in the various tribes of Baiyue, so it should be a rehearsal of the battle of the Great Tribulation of the Gods and Shang Zhou, and see what kind of scene it is like for the Inhumans to intervene on the battlefield.

Even if Wen Zhong led the army for a while and a half, the merchant army was good at collective killing on a large-scale battlefield, but the Baiyue battlefield was in the deep mountains and dense forests, and the collective combat was obviously at a disadvantage, and the Baiyue people had lived here since childhood, were quite familiar with the environment, occupied a geographical advantage, and their individual combat ability in the mountains was far stronger than that of the merchant army.

Zishou replied: "Immediately!"

"Huh?"

As soon as they heard this, Zhang Guifang and the others, who were looking forward to it, were stunned.

It is now the end of August, and autumn is about to begin, how can there be any reason to send troops in autumn and winter?

They even wondered if they had misheard, how could the always wise King of the Rings come up with such a stupid trick.

Wen Zhong was surprised and said, "Your Majesty really plans to move troops immediately?"

"Exactly!"

Zishou nodded solemnly.

Wen Zhong's brows furrowed even tighter.

The generals expressed doubts.

Zishou said with a smile: "This campaign does not seek to expand the territory, but only to kill the enemy and kill the prestige of the big business." ”

"Prestige...?"

Everyone had a clear understanding, and sure enough, the king felt that Yu Yue had repeatedly embarrassed the face of the great merchants, and wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge, so that the princes who had not yet rebelled openly would see what the end of betraying the great merchants was.

Can... The weather isn't right!

Zishou stretched out a finger and said, "One year, I want to kill the Baiyue barbarians within a year!"

“....”

Everyone was speechless, if they could kill Baiyue within a year, Wu Ding had already done so.

But Wu Ding failed to march south that year.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, so shocked that they couldn't even speak.

Your Majesty is afraid that this time it is a big talk, but they can also understand that the first personal conquest will achieve a big victory, and anyone will swell, and it is not that the conquest of Baiyue is not good, but how to levy it and when it will be levied remains to be discussed.

Zishou was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, who wouldn't say big things?

The wind flashed his tongue, and the thief was cool.

"Do you think my words are a joke?"

Everyone was a little embarrassed, although they didn't say it explicitly, but that's what they thought.

"It seems, it works. Wen Zhong still frowned: "The old minister vaguely understands His Majesty's intentions. ”

Well?

My intentions?

Zishou was stunned, I didn't mean anything!

At most, it is to drag the army and your old man in the south, deter the southern princes so that they do not dare to rebel too quickly, so as to survive for a while, and then find an excuse that the war is not going well to return to the court, arrange it, plus the promotion of rice and wheat that has existed before, ban witches, disrespect the gods, abolish human worship, crack down on the princes and nobles, and strict laws and regulations, etc., a series of operations to make a lot of money.

That's all.
