495. The difficulty of the westward expedition is difficult to reach the blue sky

Since October, Zishou has been smiling every day.

It's a joy from the heart.

In the first settlement period after the declaration of war on all nations, the mediocre value directly broke through to four figures, and if it weren't for the sudden surrender of the Yue people, this number would only jump up.

Zishou felt the kindness of this world for the first time, so he chose to share it with the harem concubines.

Sharing, naturally, there are more people, and only one can be changed, just a few can be exchanged for a bunch of small pills.

At this moment, a temple man said outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the head of the household department and the head of the military department ask to see you!"

Just see it, just after resting, Zishou said, "Let them in." ”

"Meet Your Majesty!"

After a while, Lu Xiong and Fei Zhong came to the palace.

Looking at Fei Zhong's bitter face, it was obvious that he was forcibly tied up by Lu Xiong, which was really miserable.

Zi Shou said: "Lu Shangshu, Fei Shangshu, you and I have been a monarch and minister for more than ten years, so there is no need to salute." ”

"Don't waste your courtesy!"

Lu Xiong shook his head solemnly, with a straight face, although he can be the grandfather of the king at his age, he has never had the idea of relying on the old and selling the old, and the gift of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished.

Zishou deeply regretted it, and directly talked about the matter, saying, "What is the matter with the two of you coming together?"

Lu Xiong said to Zishou: "The princes of the world have no subordinates, Your Majesty declares war on all nations, and the ministers will pay for this old life, and they will also help Your Majesty resettle the world, and now that half a year has passed, I don't know when Your Majesty plans to send troops to fight against the ministers?"

After saying that, Lu Xiong stared at Fei Zhong sideways.

Fei Zhong shrank his head, and had no choice but to echo: "Yes, if Your Majesty sends troops, the household department will definitely take care of the money, food, and materials." ”

When Zishou heard this, he couldn't help but have a headache, and said: "Wen Taishi is still fighting in the south, Chaoge's troops are not abundant, although there is money and food, but it can't be wasted, I'm afraid that I won't be able to send troops this year." ”

At the end, Zishou also added: "And Dou Rong has arrived at Bishui Pass, with him guarding, no one will be able to break through the pass for a while." ”

The news of Baiyue's surrender did not spread, that is, the ministers of the DPRK and China were also kept in the dark, which just gave Zi the opportunity to delay, whether it was to win the battle or lose the war, the war would kill people, and if there were fewer deaths, there would be fewer deaths, what was the hurry?

Lu Xiong was unrelenting, and continued to ask: "Then what does Your Majesty mean that you can send troops next year?"

Belch...

Zishou pondered for a moment and said perfunctorily: "If there is no accident, it should be possible next year." ”

When Lu Xiong heard this, he frowned and said, "Your Majesty has declared war on all nations, and you should have won the battle to fight the national prestige, how can you be cowardly?

Zi Shou smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, what General Lu said is that if there is no major event next year, he will definitely be able to send troops." ”

If it drags on to January next year, it will be another settlement period, and with the large amount of mediocrity in hand for the two settlement periods, it should be possible to do something, and it is not impossible to start a war next year.

"Okay!" Lu Xiong rubbed his hands and said, "It's just that if you send troops to conquer next year, can you hand over the army to the ministers to lead the army to conquer Xiqi?" Chaoge and Xiqi are far away, and the march is difficult. ”

Zishou understood that Lu Xiong was here to ask for war.

He was not in a hurry, took out a map, and said: "Xiqi is the first enemy of my big business, although the road is far away, but there are many checkpoints in the west, and there are many places to send troops, and there are many and varied, Lintong Pass, Chuanyun Pass, Jiepai Pass, Bishui Pass, Tongguan ....."

"Each checkpoint is a way to send troops, and you can even march in multiple ways, all the way the army feints in the Jiepai Pass, pinning down the main force of Xiqi, but the army goes out through the cloud pass to attack Xiqi, and he is caught off guard. ”

"You can even defend and counterattack, Dou Rong is a good general, holding on to Bishui Pass, holding on, Ji Fa wants to be the head of the princes, the Zhou army is also in a hurry, and he must come up with a record, and if he is in a hurry, he is prone to chaos, and he can take advantage of the opportunity. ”

"If you can dampen the morale of the Zhou army, and then take Xiqi in one go, so that the princes of the world will be frightened, the world can be determined, and the big business can be prosperous. ”

After listening to Zishou's analysis, Lu Xiong laughed and said: "I also said that Your Majesty is cowardly, I don't want Your Majesty to see it clearly, Xiqi is the only enemy of my Dashang, Xiqi is determined by the world, it seems that Your Majesty has already made arrangements, this is a great plan to dominate the world!"

Zishou said again: "General Lu can retreat the whole army first, and when he sends troops to attack Xiqi, he can teach me to use troops in the main hall." ”

Lu Xiong nodded and said, "It's okay, the army will go on the expedition, and it must be prepared in advance, so the minister will go first." ”

With that, he dragged Fei Zhong out of the hall.

Zishou looked at the backs of the two leaving, smiled wryly and shook his head.

That's right, what he just said is the general direction of big business to dominate the world.

It was discussed by him and the harem concubines in bed for a while, and those concubines were more diligent than anyone else.

It's a pity that this is all an ideal situation, not that the child is pessimistic, but the fact is that the big merchants can't beat the Zhou army with the help of immortals.

How can it be that simple?

In the original works of the gods, Dashang carried out a total of seven expeditions to the west.

For the first time, the two brothers Chao Tian and Chao Lei went west and surrendered after losing the battle.

The second time, Zhang Guifang went west and defeated several generals in Xiqi in a row, forcing Jiang Ziya to hang up the war-free card, and then Jiang Ziya went to Kunlun Mountain to ask for help, Zhang Guifang was besieged by dozens of horsemen, killed from early morning to evening, and committed suicide.

The third time, Lu Xiong's expedition to the west, Jiang Ziya did not dare to fight with him, and later when he was in Qishan to escape the summer, he was invited by Jiang Ziya to wind and snow, and he froze together with the army.

The fourth time, Wen Taishi went west and beat Jiang Ziya to death, but the resurrected Jiang Ziya not only got the version strengthened, but also found someone to kill Wen Zhong.

The fifth time, Deng Jiugong's expedition to the west, Tuxingsun slept with Deng Chanyu, and Deng Chanyu persuaded his father to surrender and return to Zhou.

The sixth time, Su Hu Xiqi, good guy, this fight will not be beaten, if it is not for the general to stop him, he will vote directly.

The seventh time, Zhang Shan attacked Xiqi and supported it for a long time, and finally the Zhou army attacked the camp and was gone.

Thirty-six people, seven expeditions to the west, two more than Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.

Among them, the second, third, fourth, and fifth expeditions to the west took advantage of the early stage.

But why did you still lose?

Because Jiang Ziya shouted people!

Of course, Wen Zhong also called people, and intercepted the sect and helped Shang, but he still didn't fight to explain the sect and join forces with Xiqi.

Zishou knows very well that in terms of the current situation of big businessmen, although it is much better than the original book, it is still not enough to see.

For example, the grain that has been increasing year after year looks powerful, but it is useless!

Han Poison Dragon and Xue Evil Tiger, who expounded the teachings, had a magic weapon grain tube in their hands, and the grain and grass in it were inexhaustible, and Xiqi casually exploded his troops!

If it is according to the current situation, the direct westward expedition will still end up being Lutai's self-immolation.

Therefore, Zishou put his mind on the mediocrity, which was already as high as a four-digit mediocrity, in order to provide him with a chance to turn the tables.

Otherwise, it would be too unreliable to go to the Gang Saint to reverse the catastrophe like this.
