After Guan Zhong thought for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, as the two generals Wei and Huo said, it is not difficult for our army to conquer Wu Yue. It is only a matter of time."
"But how to annex these territories firmly is the question."
"In the opinion of a humble minister, we should not rush forward greedily for merit, but should plan for it slowly."
"Taking this opportunity, we can first unite with the Wu State to weaken the Yue State, and then attack the Yue State. At the same time, we can send a general to lead troops to attack other small countries in the middle."
"If Da Qi wants to completely occupy the land of Wu and Yue, it must open up the connecting areas in the middle."
After listening to Guan Zhong’s analysis,
Han Lin thought for a long time.
Hongyuan, who unified the world, made Han Lin very eager to annex Wu Yue.
But Han Lin also knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed.
Qi State has the strength to destroy Wu and Yue.
But after it is destroyed, how to keep the fruits of victory is the key.
if not,
In the end, I will only make wedding clothes for others.
But he was unwilling to let Wu Guo off like this.
Han Lin asked: "Don't we have any other options? I am really unwilling to let Wu go like this."
Guan Zhong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to annex Wu without spending a single soldier."
"Oh? Come quickly!" Han Lin said excitedly.
Guan Zhong said leisurely: "Wu is rich in copper and tin. It has excellent smelting technology and its weapons are famous all over the world. It is especially famous for its excellent sword making. The two swords of 'Qian Jiang' and 'Mo Xie' are famous all over the world."
"We can purchase a large number of weapons from Wu State at a high price. When the price of weapons rises, surrounding countries will definitely rush to buy them."
"With such huge profits, the people of Wu State will inevitably flock to it and give up farming and turn to blacksmithing."
"At the same time, we will purchase grain and grass from neighboring countries at high prices. When the time is right, we will stop all trade with Wu and send troops to Wu."
"At this time, the land of Wu State is deserted and no one is cultivating it. The surrounding countries have no grain to sell to Wu State. Wu State will collapse without a fight."
Following Guan Zhong’s words,
Han Lin suddenly remembered the prime minister in front of him.
It seems that he is the first person in history to use trade war to defeat an enemy country.
then,
Duke Huan of Qi wanted to attack Hengshan, so he asked Guan Zhong what he should do.
Guan Zhong also made such a suggestion.
through trade wars,
Destroy Hengshan State's economy.
They were left unable to fight and eventually had to surrender.
did not expect.
Now this method will be used on Wu Guo.
The prerequisite for doing this is to have a large amount of gold and silver in hand.
What a coincidence, isn't it?
There is no shortage of gold and silver in Qi State now.
After currency reform,
Nowadays, Qi State has completely used paper money, replacing gold and silver as the currency in circulation.
at the same time,
Businessmen from neighboring countries wanted to come to Qi to trade.
It must also be exchanged for banknotes.
In this way,
Massive amounts of gold, silver and jewelry were exchanged for banknotes.
Nowadays, the treasury of Qi State is filled with mountains of gold, silver and jewels.
It’s almost to the point where I can’t let it go.
Among them, many parts come from the Song Dynasty.
So much treasure,
It is more than enough to buy weapons and food.
Guan Zhong then continued to describe his strategy.
simply speaking,
That is to say, the army along the way cooperated with the Wu army to defeat the Yue State first, and at the same time plunder the Yue State's grain and grass.
Another army took the opportunity to attack the surrounding small countries.
During this time,
They are buying grain and grass from neighboring countries at high prices, and weapons from Wu State at high prices.
Then came the waiting.
After describing the plan, Han Lin looked at Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, with expressions of approval on their faces.
"good!"
"Just follow the Prime Minister's plan!"
"This time we go south, General Wei Qing will lead an army of 50,000 infantry and cavalry to coordinate with the Wu State to attack Yue. Remember, it is enough to defeat the main force of the Yue State, but never destroy the Yue State."
"Huo Qubing led a partial army with 30,000 infantry and cavalry troops to attack the surrounding small countries."
After saying that,
Han Lin suddenly thought of something and said regretfully: "It's a pity. I originally wanted to celebrate the two of you at the celebration ceremony in a few days. Unexpectedly, I haven't rested for a few days and I have to lead the troops again."
"After returning from this victory, I will build a general altar for you two to commend your achievements!"
.......
The Qi army launched another wave.
This is Han Lin's fifth large-scale expedition since he ascended the throne.
to be honest,
For more than a year, wars have been carried out with such high frequency.
In an ordinary country, I am afraid that the logistics would have collapsed long ago.
Don't look at the prosperity of Zhao's military force and its strong soldiers and horses.
but,
Logistical issues are already troubling Zhao Guo and cannot be avoided.
There were two wars between Zhao and Qi.
It can be said,
Let the world completely see through Zhao Guo's weaknesses.
Insufficient logistics!
Food shortage!
As long as we can fight a protracted war with Zhao State, we can bring down the Zhao army.
Of course,
Looking at the whole world, I dare to say that there are really few countries that can stop Zhao Jun's attack.
After all, it was an existence that could go head-to-head with the tiger and wolf Qin on the battlefield.
Regarding this Qi army's departure.
The happiest person is none other than Emperor Wu.
After all, because of Qiao Xuan's incident, Wu Huangfu Chai had been worried these days.
He was afraid that Han Lin would use this as a reason to refuse to send troops.
Now that he saw Qi State sending troops, Wu Huangfu Chai's anxious heart finally calmed down.
the other side,
Da Qiao also arrived in Linzi City after several days of long journey.
Just like when Shi Yiguang entered Qi before,
Along the way,
Da Qiao was also shocked by what Qi Guo showed.
After seeing the roads of Qi, the farmland of Qi, and the prosperity of Qi.
Only then did she understand why Emperor Wu's husband was so afraid of Qi.
at the same time,
Da Qiao was even more suspicious.
How could a monarch who could govern Qi into such a prosperous age be the faint king rumored by the outside world?
This question,
After meeting Han Lin again, Da Qiao knew the answer.
The rumors from the outside world... don't seem that outrageous.
At least,
In terms of lusting after beauty, Han Lin is exactly the same as the rumors say.
Since entering the palace,
Da Qiao saw that all the maids here were wearing uniform clothes.
These clothes are all light and semi-transparent skirts.
Her slender and sexy figure is looming under such clothes.
It gives people a sense of mystery as if they are holding a pipa and half-hiding their faces.
at the same time,
The legs of the palace ladies are all covered with stockings of different colors.
Da Qiao has long heard of this kind of stockings.
It is said that they were made by the emperor of Qi State, and the people of Qi State called these stockings silk stockings.
When this kind of stockings was introduced to the state of Wu,
Emperor Wu's husband once excitedly ordered all the maids to put on their clothes.
Da Qiao also asked the palace maid to buy a few pairs in private.
It's silky smooth on the legs and very comfortable.
But what makes Da Qiao puzzled is what is the charm of this thing that makes men like it so much.
(Qread and Tomato have both reported the plagiarism dog, and they don’t know when the results will be released. It’s simply outrageous. I copied and pasted everything except the protagonist’s name.)
