Yingdu
Helu and Mr. Sun Changqing were sitting opposite each other, and they were talking about a game of Go.
It is said that even a supercomputer cannot exhaust the possibilities of Go, which are as high as many powers of ten. Even in Jiang Hua's previous life, Go was not conquered by artificial intelligence until AlphaGo was born.
Therefore, even though both of them have very high cultivation levels, if they just think normally without using any cultivation level, Go can still be used as a gadget to pass the time.
But once you use your cultivation and even let your soul start thinking, it's boring.
Even if you use your soul to exhaust all possibilities, then I will use the method of heaven to predict your prediction.
At that time, it will no longer be a game of Go, but a competition in cultivation.
Therefore, at this moment, neither of them used their cultivation, Taoism, or magical powers, they were just playing chess and chatting.
Helu and Sun Changqing sat opposite each other. After making dozens of moves, Helu said while thinking: "Mr. Changqing, in fact, Gu Ye knows that the most suitable way for Wu State now is to stop as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Changqing's heart skipped a beat: Sure enough, the worst happened. Helu was tempted to destroy the Chu State, but it was impossible to succeed.
"Sir, you also know that in the past, everyone in Wu State was afraid of Chu State. At that time, Chu State casually supported a Yue State, which gave Wu State a headache. Now that it has finally captured the capital of Ying, if If we just retreat, many generals in the army will be dissatisfied."
"Moreover, some military generals even judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. They even say that Mr. Changqing, you have made enough contributions, and now you just want to take it away. Some people also say, Mr. Changqing, you have made a lot of achievements yourself. If you get the credit, you don’t want others to take the credit. Although this is what they said when they were drunk and crazy..."
"Of course, it's not just them. Gu also has some thoughts of destroying Chu. Of course, Gu also knows that this is difficult, it is very difficult."
Hearing this, Sun Changqing already knew Helu's thoughts, but out of personal ethics, he decided to say what he should say again, even if it would be annoying to say it, but he should share the worries of the emperor if he eats the emperor's salary.
Of course, this was the last time he said it.
If Helu still opposes this time, then he will do his best to help Helu destroy the Chu State, even though this is an impossible thing.
"Your Majesty, the State of Chu is very large, has many lords, and has a profound foundation."
"If you want to destroy Chu, you will have to face a series of problems such as logistics, insufficient population, insufficient talents, and insufficient troops."
"In addition, we must always be careful of Chu's counterattack and the intervention of other countries."
"Many countries will support Wu's attack on Chu. Most countries will oppose Wu's destruction of Chu."
"No one wants to see a powerful Chu State, and no one wants to see a more powerful Wu State."
"At that time, Qin, Yue, Yancheng and other countries in the Central Plains may all interfere."
Hearing this, Helu sighed: "Yes, so destroying Chu is Gu's dream. The so-called dream is just thinking about it in a dream."
After laughing at himself, Helu continued: "In this war, Gu's goal is to occupy hundreds of counties in Chu State and double Wu's territory. This is also the bottom line. As for annihilating Chu State, it is just a dream."
Hearing this, Sun Changqing nodded and began to analyze for Helu: "First of all, we have to go to Yancheng with great fanfare to promote it and tell those who buy Wu State's war bonds that it is time to come to Wu State to harvest the spoils of war."
"Now, we have only roughly occupied the Yangtze River, but we have not completely refined the Yangtze River. In this case, it is better to let those people come over, hand over the Yangtze River to them, and let them harvest mile by mile."
"Now, we occupy at least 50,000 miles of the Yangtze River. We only need to occupy other counties and counties along the Yangtze River towards Chu State."
"Those people don't dare to fight the Chu State directly. But with our Wu State at the front, they are not only brave enough to hide behind and rob the Chu State, but they are also very bold!"
"We will most likely lose this Yangtze River when the time comes, and it will most likely be snatched away by the Chu State. In this case, let's seize it properly. Direct auction, with sections of ten miles or a hundred miles, be auctioned. Whoever wins the auction, That’s who it is.”
As for what benefits can be obtained from the ten-mile or one-hundred-mile Yangtze River, it depends on the individual.
If you have the ability to fish out all the water eyes in the depths of the Yangtze River, then you are great.
Moreover, the Yangtze River contains a large number of rare treasures, especially water-based treasures. There are so many!
"In this way, we can not only repay the money, but also reissue a large number of new war bonds. Moreover, this move can also show that we have no intention of permanently annihilating the Chu Kingdom, and it can reassure other princes about us."
"With new war bonds, this war can be fought."
"Moreover, with those who secretly rob, at least the security along the Yangtze River can be guaranteed, and the logistics security can also be guaranteed. In this way, we can continue to expand toward Chu State along the tributaries of the Yangtze River."
"We ourselves can also rob the Yangtze River, loot the Chu State, and transport away all the common people and savages from various places through the Yangtze River. Those who are willing to join the Wu State can be transported to the homeland of the Xu State to enrich the population. Those who are unwilling to surrender can be sold directly to the Xu State. Yancheng, where the demand for population is unlimited.”
"As for the nobles, they can definitely follow the old wisdom of Lord Yan. Let's just follow how Yancheng looted those counties."
Helu squinted his eyes and thought of countless information in his mind. He instantly remembered the looting of the small county town in Yancheng more than fifty years ago.
"At that time, Yancheng first announced to the nobles that they would only rob money and not kill people. They also asked the nobles to report each other. As long as the wealth was truthfully presented, their safety would be guaranteed and they would be let go smoothly."
"These are tangible wealth. For intangible wealth, auctions are used."
"At that time, Yancheng could not occupy those lands for a long time, so they simply used auctions to sell the land to local nobles who were willing to cooperate."
"Although the tangible wealth of the local nobles has been robbed, there is still a large amount of wealth in the Five Elements in their minds, and there are also a large number of hidden treasures. This is all wealth."
"Use this wealth to conduct auctions. Those who finally get the land can farm openly and openly. Yancheng does not care and pretends not to see it. At the same time, it is announced that these nobles escaped by luck when the city was broken. They have been in the city ever since. Causing trouble for Yancheng. On the surface, he has the title of a loyal and brave righteous man."
"Even if everyone knows what the truth is, no one will delve into it. Because the Marquis of Chu also needs loyal ministers. Facing these rebel leaders of the Wu Kingdom who are serious in person, and each of them is a loyal person, the Marquis of Chu can only admit it while pinching his nose. Their status as loyal ministers.”
if not?
Otherwise, there are so many places where Chu State has fallen, and they are all villains? Not a single loyal minister?
If this news gets out, will Chu Hou be embarrassed?
What's more, the Marquis of Chu himself took the lead in running away, and the nobles in the fiefdom surrendered, which was only natural.
Your eldest brother has run away, so you still expect your younger brother to fight against the Kingdom of Wu loyally?
Perhaps by the time of the Song Dynasty, cynics would be so shameless. But now, it is the era of various schools of thought, and everyone is still more practical.
"In this way, by using people's hearts, more than 90% of a county's wealth can be obtained. And the whole thing is smooth, no one will resist excessively, and a large amount of resources, secrets, and secret techniques can be harvested."
"The most important thing is that these nobles who obtained the land after the auction can continue to farm the land safely. After the auction is over, the army will leave, and then these nobles who succeeded in the auction can come out openly and resist. In the name of continuing to farm in the same place.”
"They can only farm, and the harvest they farm can only be sold to Da Wu as trophies. Were they robbed by Da Wu? This further proves that they are loyal ministers and righteous men."
However, after each robbery, Da Wu would give them some reward in exchange.
On the surface it's a robbery, but in reality it's a transaction.
"In this way, one year later, Dawu will no longer have any logistical worries."
Hearing this, Sun Changqing said: "Yes, so for the counties and counties in Chu State, we have to divide them into three processing modes."
"The first one is the place bordering Wu State. They are treated as locals. Whatever happens to the locals, they will be dealt with accordingly."
"The second is a place bordering the future mainland. Using Yancheng's method to rob, you can get a lot of resources."
"The third type is the place near Yingdu. This is the heart of the Chu Kingdom. The Chu Kingdom has been in business for a long time. The spiritual energy here may have been trained and adjusted. I don't know which place may be the best." It contains secret vaults and traps for the enemy.”
"For a place like this, just grab it all. Just call the people who came to the Yancheng Bond Exchange, call those who bought our war bonds, and grab it."
"Especially for Yingdu, we can organize a large-scale event to help Yingdu restore its natural scenery."
What is natural scenery?
There are just no human traces.
What does it mean to have no human traces?
Even the treasures of heaven and earth in Yingdu must be snatched away. The wall tiles in Yingdu are made of forbidden materials. Each piece is considered a low-level magic weapon, so they must be snatched away and sold directly for money.
Many of the houses in Yingdu are made of forbidden materials, and there are also many safe houses in Yingdu that isolate the secrets of heaven. They were directly demolished and sold.
Yingdu is the capital of the Chu Kingdom. There are hundreds of thousands of underground veins. All of them were found, captured using treasures and secret methods, and finally sold.
The terrain of Yingdu is surrounded by many rivers, which have also been sacrificed. It looks like a small river, but there are deep water eyes inside. It may be that Chu State's backhand is hidden, and it is also packaged and sold directly.
The remaining people in Yingdu were also regarded as unruly people, and those who were willing to surrender were moved to the homeland of Xu. If you don’t want to, sell them all!
In the end, the entire Yingdu was sold.
Sell everything you can in Yingdu!
Let Yingdu become a primitive land that has not been managed by humans.
This is called helping Yingdu restore its natural beauty!
"This matter must be done with great fanfare. If Chu Hou doesn't respond, forget it. If Chu Hou dares to lead troops, then teach him a lesson."
"Even if there is no reaction from the Marquis of Chu, we can still use this move to gain a lot of money and fame."
"Although our Wu Kingdom does not have enough talents to complete this series of projects, other countries in the world do. Those countries that have purchased our war bonds will definitely be willing to send talents to Yingdu to tear down the city walls here."
"There are also many people who are willing to buy the palace of the Marquis of Chu and sell it to those countries that were beaten by Chu."
"By the way, there are also the tombs of the Chu lords of the past dynasties. They are just outside the city and will be excavated next. We don't need to do anything about this, and they will be sold directly to those kind people who support us."
Digging graves is relatively hated.
It was somewhat inappropriate for Wu Guo to take matters into his own hands.
Of course, if Wu Zixu wanted to dig the grave of the previous generation Pinghou, no one would say anything.
Cynics in the Song Dynasty would definitely criticize Wu Zixu and say that what he did was wrong. But contemporary people will only think that Wu Zixu was a good man, who finally avenged Pinghou for killing his whole family.
If the princes kill my whole family for no reason, then I will come back to take revenge when I am rich and kill the princes and their whole family. In this era, it is a matter of course and right.
As for the cynical concept that if a king wants his ministers to die, they must die, this era does not exist yet.
However, for those countries that were wiped out by the Chu State, they had a grudge against the Chu State for the destruction of their country and their family. If these people came to dig the grave of the Marquis of Chu, no one would say anything.
My motherland was destroyed by the Chu State, and now I finally have a chance to take revenge. Who can say anything?
The most important thing is that digging graves is not safe. No one knows how many traps the Chu princes in the past dynasties have set up to prevent their own graves from being dug.
Therefore, we simply auctioned off the tomb of the Marquis of Chu.
Everyone takes revenge when they have a grudge, and repays a grievance when they have a grudge.
Even if they covet the bones of the Chu Marquis, the essence and blood of the Chu Marquis, and the wealth in the tomb, that is the business of these auctioneers and has nothing to do with the Wu State. On the contrary, Wu State could take advantage of this opportunity to once again harvest a large amount of money or materials.
With these money and materials, Wu's national strength has increased.
Jiang Hua also didn't expect that after fifty-one years in Baijia, there would still be people who remembered what happened before the first year of Baijia, studied it so thoroughly, and were ready to plagiarize and imitate. The key is that they would not be paid if they plagiarized and imitated. What a bummer.
While Helu and Changqing were discussing how to maintain the war as much as possible, Jiang Hua was also very busy, busy witnessing the genius A Liang's wooden cows and horses.
Before today, Jiang Hua had long known Zhuge's brother Liang and his niece Yueyingshi beside him.
We are all acquaintances, we have met more than once, and we have eaten, drank tea and chatted together.
If other people said that they had invented low-cost intelligent life, Jiang Hua would definitely not believe it, but if it were put to Brother Liang, Jiang Hua would believe it. After all, he is Brother Liang, so this name is very convincing.
