…
"Then how about taking the initiative?" Liu Ce suddenly asked, "Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the south directly, take back the two states of Qinghu and destroy the puppet Chu and Yigong in one battle, what do you think?"
Xu Wenjing said: "What your Majesty said is true. It's just that most of the elite troops guarding the northern part of Jingzhou are soldiers of the Northern Army. They are afraid of signs of acclimatization. Moreover, not many of our Han army know how to use water. It is not a force attack at the moment." When fighting back.”
Liu Ce nodded: "Then we must strictly defend ourselves, and at the same time, order people to continue to notify the various government offices in Jiangnan to take precautions against the enemy.
I don’t believe that the 200,000 soldiers of the Chu army marched across the river just to show off. By the way, speaking of the Chu army, I heard that Huang Fu’s pretending prime minister, Fa martingale,
You and Fa Shangshu are both disciples of the Legalist school. It is said that you two are still classmates. Tell me, what is the ability of this Fa Martingale? "
Fa Ji raised his hand and replied: "Reporting to your majesty, Fa Yang is more than ten times more powerful than me."
Liu Ce flicked his long sleeves: "Master Fa, why are you so humble?"
"There is absolutely no lie in what I said!" Fa Ji said, "I have been classmates with Fa Yang for ten years and have a deep understanding of his style of conduct. I am determined not to compare with him!"
Liu Ce: "Fa Shangshu's words are serious. I think Fa Shangshu's ability is good, and he may not be worse than your classmates."
Fa Ji: "The humble minister is really not worthy of your majesty's ridiculous praise. Fa Yangling's ability is indeed far superior to that of the minister. Except for the Legalist school,
He has also studied the art of war and has unique insights into the use of troops to manage the army. The current national policy of farming and war implemented by the Chu State is definitely from the hands of Fa Martinger! "
Liu Ce fell into silence. He had already learned a lot about Chu State's national policy from intelligence from all sides and from the people who fled Chu State.
To be honest, Liu Ce was shocked to hear that the Chu State implemented the policy of farming and war. In his memory, the first country to implement the policy of farming and war finally wiped out Liuhe and unified the country, and at the same time laid the foundation for the unification of all dynasties in the future. Basic idea.
Since Chu State also practiced farming warfare, Liu Ce had to guard against it. Even in terms of national strength, Chu State was far from being comparable to the Han Dynasty. However, the initial strength between Qin State and other countries was also unequal. What was the final result?
However, the only thing that reassured Liu Ce was that the Han Empire he created had an army made of iron and blood. While other forces were still using cold weapons as their mainstream weapons, his army had spanned centuries and entered the To the era of alternation of hot and cold weapons.
This is the result of attaching great importance to science and technology, and it is also the confidence of a strong country!
"Wang Daru has arrived~"
At this moment, Wang Xiaoyu's voice sounded outside Weiyang Palace.
When everyone in the palace heard this, they immediately sat upright and looked directly outside the palace door, waiting for Wang Daofu to appear.
"Let him in."
Liu Ce casually picked up a copy of the Xuanwu Pass Memorial on the table and read it for himself. Immediately, a guard in the hall brought cushions and mats and placed them in the center of the hall.
Not long after, Wang Daofu stepped into the hall, glanced around, shook his arms and sleeves, then looked directly at the dragon seat where Liu Ce was, and took two steps forward: "I, Wang Daofu has met your Majesty!"
Liu Ce glanced at Wang Daofu and said calmly: "You are the King of Jinling, and I have heard about you for a long time. Since you are here, just sit down and talk. There are not so many red tapes in this dynasty, so feel free to do whatever you want."
Unexpectedly, when Wang Daofu heard this, his eyes widened and he said: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Etiquette is the foundation of a country. How can we become slack just because the rules are complicated? We must pay attention to etiquette and keep order from top to bottom. Only then can I May you be remembered for eternity!"
Liu Ce snorted lightly without raising his head: "I just want you to sit more comfortably because you are older. I don't want you to make a fuss about etiquette. In this case, then just stand. Someone, please Please remove the cushions and tables."
Soon, the guards moved back the tables and mats that had just been set up. This scene made Wang Daofu's mouth twitch in anger, and Wang Xiaoyu felt a sense of joy in his heart.
Liu Ce raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but still said calmly: "Wang Daru, are you satisfied now? I just follow your wishes and respect the etiquette and order."
When Xu Wenjing and others heard this, they all suppressed their smiles. Yes, who is your majesty? Regardless of whether it's a literary fight or a physical fight, how can you, a little Wang Daofu, fight with his old man?
"Speak directly if you have anything to say. Everyone in Chang'an City knows that you have caused trouble in front of the palace these days. What are you doing for?" Liu Ce reminded Wang Daofu and continued to read the report in his hand.
Wang Daofu immediately said: "Your Majesty, I ask you, do you know about the locust plague in Jingdi this year?"
Liu Ce squinted his eyes: "What you, Wang Daru, know, don't I know?"
Wang Daofu suddenly became extremely excited: "Well, your Majesty, please tell me, since you know about the drought in Jingdi, why are you indifferent and indifferent? Do you know that the people in Jingdi have no food to eat and they are in dire straits?"
Fa Ji heard this and said hurriedly: "Wang Daofu, you are so brave! What tone are you using to speak to His Majesty? You..."
"Let him speak!" Liu Ce stopped Fa Ji without changing his expression, "I want to hear what the great scholar of Jinling wants to say."
Wang Daofu: "Your Majesty, the people of Jingdi are suffering from natural disasters. Are you really that bearable to turn a blind eye to the people under your rule?!"
Liu Ce slowly put down the memorial, raised his head and looked directly at Wang Daofu, his eyes slightly twitching: "Wang Daru, is this the reason why you caused so much trouble in Chang'an?"
Wang Daofu did not flinch at all: "What? Your Majesty is afraid that the people in the world will know that he caused the lives of the people and did not care about them? Huh, if that's the case, why don't you distribute food to help the people in Jingling?!"
His words were full of malice, and he wanted to wait for Liu Ce to say that there was a shortage of food due to the war between Han and Mongolia, so that he could take the opportunity to expand the topic and accuse Liu Ce of being militaristic.
Qin Mo couldn't stand listening anymore and immediately said to Wang Daofu: "Mr. Wang, actually..."
Liu Ce didn't want Liu Ce to take over the conversation: "From what Wang Daru said, he must be very concerned about the livelihood of the people in Jingdi, right?"
Wang Daofu: "The people of Jingdi are all citizens of the world. I am familiar with the books of sages and sages, so naturally I care about the common people."
Liu Ce raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "I dare to ask Wang Daru, who cares about the common people, when you learned about the disaster in Jingdi, did you ever donate money or materials to Jingdi to help the people affected by the disaster?"
Wang Daofu was stunned. He didn't expect Liu Ce to ask such a question, and he didn't know how to reply.
Liu Ce then asked: "As far as I know, your Wang Daru family has thousands of hectares of fertile land and five luxury houses in Jinling City.
He also owns a restaurant and a tea house. If his family is so wealthy, he should be able to help the people of Jingdi and not just watch them starve, right?
I would like to ask Wang Daru, in the face of this drought in Jingdi, how much food did you donate to the people of Jingdi? How about you tell me? "
Wang Daofu was speechless. How could he donate any money to Jingdi? He just used this incident to go to Beijing to "scold and wake up" Hun Jun.
