I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 384 Five strategies for defending the city
Li Ran thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Your Highness, after all, this person is an eminent noble. He has a title and is a senior official of the Zhou family. If you kill this person, I am afraid that it will not only chill the hearts of other Zhou family members, but also arouse the enemy's anger." Fighting spirit! What's more, for some officials and people in the city, they will feel that His Highness is also a person who is good at killing. On the contrary, it will make them more afraid! If they suddenly object, they will directly open the door and offer the city , that would be difficult to clean up."

Wang Zichao heard the words, called himself short-witted, and couldn't help nodding his head and said:
"Mr. is far-reaching and far-sighted, which is admirable! I don't know how to defend against the enemy next time, sir?"

And Li Ran had already discussed specific measures with Sun Wu and others, and he said indifferently:

"The good fighters in ancient times were invincible first, and waited for the enemy to be victorious! In today's battle, we must first be in an invincible position before we can make a difference. Today, there are five strategies that can make our army invincible place!"

"First, to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, take advantage of the fact that the loach has just been killed and the foothold is not stable, and move all the personnel and luggage from outside the city back to the city. Any supplies left by the enemy!"

"Secondly, mobilize the army and civilians. Soldiers practice daily, maintain fighting spirit, and state their interests to the people in order to mobilize. Strong and strong men are used as supplementary personnel, and they should be recorded as soon as possible. Even women and children should be assigned logistical tasks. In addition, for the people in the capital The occupations that the people of the country are engaged in should also be classified and screened. If there are skilled people, let them be used."

"Thirdly, in order to prevent Gong Jian's old department from causing chaos, it is necessary to strictly investigate the new faces that appear in each household. It is temporarily forbidden to play musical instruments, tall trees, sticks and bamboo poles in the whole city, so as to prevent people from exchanging information with outside the city! In addition, All households must be vigilant against water leakage, fill the water tanks with water, and cover the roofs with wet mud. Those who are unable to move will be provided by the village servants, so as not to cause a sudden fire in the city and cause civil strife!"

"Fourth, you must be vigilant and not negligent in the care of the luggage. The dispatch of food and supplies, and the care of the wells are all in the full responsibility of the officials. Beware of bad guys taking advantage of the gap!"

"Fifth, prepare all the materials that can be used to defend the city, such as wood, stones, boiling oil, saltpeter, etc., all must be prepared!"

And the Prince Chao in front of him, not only has the legacy of the Prince Jin Dynasty, he is polite, he spits, feeds and shakes his hair, and his identity as the same clan of the Zhou family naturally makes Li Ran have no suspicion of him.

"Wang Zichao? Your Highness... he probably wouldn't do that, would he?"

"Sir, you have worked so hard for me, you have really worked hard!"

The answer in Li Ran's heart is that the sage and the Ming Lord can support the crisis in this environment where the rituals are broken and the music is broken, and even turn the world around. Among the vassal states, Li Ran wants to find such a person to achieve the peace of the world. grand event.

Li Ran is also very relieved now. Seeing Wang Zichao, he always feels that his childhood playmate is by his side. This mood is completely different from when he first entered Chu State.

On this day, when Li Ran was free, he wanted to ask Gong Jian some more things to prepare for the next Cheng Zhou. Unexpectedly, at this moment, he got the news that someone found that Gong Jian had almost hanged himself in the prison. Fortunately, he was discovered and rescued in time. Now, I am falling into a coma!

If Wang Zichao is this person, in his capacity, then naturally he can do all this!

Fan Li quickly summoned Guan Cong, and when Guan Cong saw Li Ran, he said calmly:
"Young master, Guan Cong was negligent. I didn't expect that someone would use Gong Jian's begging for death to frame the Prince's dynasty! This matter is indeed Guan Cong's negligence!"

Li Ran's first reaction was that, as he said before, the dark walkers would not let him, the loser, go.

Although Li Ran and King Ling of Chu also had a close relationship, King Ling of Chu was too self-willed after all. Although he was respectful to Li Ran, but as the saying goes, they have different ways and do not seek each other, and the two of them are often at odds with each other.

Li Ran is not sure about this, but he only listens and observes, but he says with great certainty:
"If you only talk about suspicion, the suspicion of His Highness the Prince is definitely not small. Of course, it is also possible that it was done by his subordinates, and he himself did not know about it. Thinking that Gong Jian had defeated Wang Zichao before, Wang Zichao had resentment against him, It’s just as normal.”

After two days of stalemate like this, Gan Loach has nothing to do with this capital.The city was impenetrable, and they couldn't get any supplies for a while. Since they couldn't attack by force for a while, they had to temporarily stop their flags and drums.

"Since this person is in prison now, how could he have the chance to hang himself?"

When Wang Zichao finished his work, he turned his head and bowed deeply to Li Ran.

Observing his words and demeanor, he knew Li Ran's concerns:

"Young master, is this Wang Zichao the answer in the young master's heart?"

"Go and call Guan Cong!"

Naturally, Wang Zichao didn't know about this, he only knew that Li Ranzhi was famous and had a deep relationship with his uncle Ji Jin.When Prince Jin was forced to death, although Wang Zichao was still young, he was still deeply impressed by this uncle.

Li Ran was in a trance, as if returning to the time when he was with Prince Jin many years ago.

Li Ran sighed:
"This person is still very useful. He is a doctor who came out every week, and he has the identity of a secret agent. He must know a lot of hidden things. It would be great if it facilitates our future actions. It's just Now is the time to employ someone, but the life and death of this person is uncertain, it is really a pity! If His Highness really did it, it would be..."

In particular, his sincerity in being kind to others left a deep impression on the young prince Chaoshi who was still living in the harem at that time and was ignorant of world affairs.

Li Ran has never been used to King Chu Ling's self-willedness, and because of Li Ran's status as a Zhou, King Ling of Chu often defends against him.

……

Guan Cong put aside the relationship first, Li Ran raised his eyebrows, and didn't pursue him, just asked directly:
"Who do you think did this?"

Facing the so-called [-]-strong Gan Loach army, now that the offense and defense have changed positions, Sun Wu and others immediately strengthened the city gate defense.

Li Ran talked eloquently, in an orderly and clear manner, taking all aspects into consideration.Wang Zichao didn't say a word, and hurriedly ordered people to assign them to do it. Regarding Li Ran's words, he can only obey Li Ran's words now.

Fan Li beside Li Ran said:
"Someone must have brought him silk cloth!"

Li Ran stepped forward to help Wang Zichao up.

Li Ran's first reaction turned out to be Guan Cong. Of course, he didn't suspect that Guan Cong did it, but just wanted to learn some specific inside stories from him.

"Presumably there must be spies in the city, but...or it may be the work of His Highness the Prince!"

"The young master had previously publicly disapproved of killing this person, so His Royal Highness naturally cannot disobey the young master in public. But... it is really hard to say in secret."

Li Ran originally wanted to say that he was a little disappointed, but Wang Zichao is the person he really wants to support now. For a mere Gong Jian, it is not like this. Besides, the truth of this matter is unknown, and it may not be his doing. .

"Your Highness doesn't need to be too polite, but since you followed His Highness to this point, you should do your best."

"I hope he is the answer!"

"From a standpoint, this person is currently a good seed. As long as he can keep his original intentions, he will listen to the young master's good words more in the future, and walk steadily like this step by step, and he will surely help the Zhou family in the future! However, Cong Another layer of doubts..."

Although Li Ran did not agree with Guan Cong's many practices, his control over people's hearts and human nature is indeed unique, so he asked:

"Oh? Do you have any doubts, let's talk about it?"
