Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 958 Easy first and then difficult, to rule the world

Wen Zhong frowned and asked, "Your Majesty wants to go east and annex the feudal lords. I don't know which country to destroy first?"

This is a question worth pondering.

Now, the vassal states bordering Wu State are Qi, Lu, Song, Han, Wei, Dai, and Zhongshan, and Yan State is beyond reach.

That is to say, if the state of Wu wants to send troops to directly launch a war of annihilation, there are seven options.

No matter which country Qingji chooses to destroy, even if the rest of the vassal states feel cold, they still have more than enough energy.

"The second and third sons think, which country is better for me, Great Wu, to destroy first?"

"This……"

All the ministers could not help but look at each other, lost in thought.

Kong Qiu thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the difficulties should be prioritized before the easy ones. Qi should be destroyed first, and then Han, Wei, Dai, Lu, Song, Yan, and Zhongshan should be wiped out in sequence."

"Because Qi is relatively the strongest, if Qi is destroyed, the princes will be terrified. Maybe the kingdoms will surrender before the king's teacher arrives."

"inappropriate."

Before Qingji could speak, Fan Li retorted, "It will not be easy to destroy Qi."

"The two countries of Han and Wei are located in the Central Plains, and my great Wu wants to go east. The two countries of Han and Wei may not stand by. Therefore, the minister advocates the easy before the difficult. After destroying Han and Wei, send troops to destroy Qi, or destroy Song and Lu. .”

Is it easy before difficult, or difficult before easy?
Qingji couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

Even if Wu State destroys Qi, the other countries may not surrender directly.

However, the probability of this will be greatly increased.

Furthermore, the two countries of Korea and Wei are located in the main roads of communication in the Central Plains. If the two countries suddenly attack the grain road of the Wu army when the fierce battle is in full swing, won't it make Wu's war of destroying the country come to naught?

Therefore, if the state of Wu wants to go east, the prerequisite is to destroy Han and Wei, just like the state of Qin in history.

Of course, Qingji can choose to send troops from Yingdu or Jinling.

After all, Wu State has three capitals, one is Yingdu, one is Jinling, and the other is Xianyang.

Just moving the capital and moving the main military force to a capital is not a simple matter.

Why do you want to look far away when celebrating Jiji?
"The widows want to send troops to destroy the two countries... not to destroy Korea or Wei alone, but to destroy together."

"hiss!"

Hearing this, all the ministers couldn't help but gasped, feeling extremely shocked.

It is true that the two countries of Korea and Wei have been disabled by the state of Wu, and their national strength has declined. Their territory is only equivalent to a county of the state of Wu.

However, South Korea and Wei Guo are not helpless to fight back.

"Your Majesty, I think it's wrong."

Wen Zhong shook his head and said, "Han and Wei are brothers in need, but they still have the power to fight."

"If the king wants to destroy Han and Wei in one battle, he must be fully prepared and have an army of no less than 20 before he can do it."

Doesn't Wenzhong think highly of Han and Wei?
However, to be on the safe side, it is not impossible for Qingji to prepare 20 people to destroy Han and Wei.

Now that Wen Zhong is the Taizai of the Wu Kingdom, he deeply understands the difficulty of Ji Ran in the past.

In his place, seek his government.

No wonder Ji Ran was always the first to jump out and object when Qingji planned to fight frequently, and blatantly contradicted Qingji.

It is true that there are problems in some places in the state of Wu, and there are difficulties.

If you are not at home, you do not know that diesel, rice, oil and salt are expensive.

The consumption of a war at every turn is very huge.

"Your Majesty, I used to be Prime Minister of Wei, and I know very well the current predicament of Wei State."

Wen Zhong said slowly: "Since the Mengjin meeting, in the past two years, Wei and South Korea were not only forced to cede a large area of ​​urban land, but also shouldered heavy debts."

"As a last resort, in order to repay the debt owed to my great Wu, Wei Jun passed the debt on to the people of the country. He cleverly set up a name and levied additional taxes. All kinds of exorbitant taxes made the Li people complain and fled one after another."

"South Korea is also average. Therefore, among the common people at the bottom, no matter whether it is Han Jun or Wei Jun, they are unpopular."

"In order to earn money and pay off debts, the Han and Wei people will do everything they can."

"My minister has a strategy, which may allow us, Great Wu, to destroy the two countries of Korea and Wei at the least cost."

Hearing this, Qingji asked with great interest: "The plan will be released?"

After all, Wen Zhong was Wei Xiang in those years, and he knew the situation of Wei State very well.

It can be said that it is very handy to let the language specifically deal with Han and Wei.

"My lord, the spring plowing has not yet started, but it is in the preparation stage."

"Your Majesty can follow the example of Guan Zhong's Hengshan strategy in the past, so that the people of Han and Wei will abandon farming to earn money. At that time, there will be no food rations, and Han and Wei will not be able to fight anymore, and the people of the country will not fight for their own kings."

"Being forced to do so, the two countries of Korea and Wei can only surrender to my Great Wu, or fight to the death while hungry."

Hengshan conspiracy?

Qing Ji, Fan Li, Sun Wu and the others all nodded slightly in agreement.

They are familiar with the ancient classics, and they are naturally no strangers to Hengshan's conspiracy.

When Duke Huan of Qi wanted to attack Hengshan, he asked Guan Zhong for advice.

Guan Zhong didn't answer how to use troops or how to do diplomatic work, but asked Duke Huan of Qi to buy weapons and equipment made in Hengshan, and he had to buy them in large quantities and at high prices.

The equipment made by Hengshan Kingdom was excellent, and all countries purchased it at that time.

After the Qi State bought a large amount, the price immediately went up, and other countries rushed to buy it before the price was too high.

Seeing that the manufacture of equipment is so popular in Hengshan, no one is willing to engage in agricultural production, so they all go to build equipment.

Then, Guan Zhong ordered people to go to various countries to buy grain, and they bought it at a high price.

As a result, the grain of all countries flowed to Qi.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Guan Zhong immediately stopped purchasing equipment and food, and sent troops to besiege Hengshan.

Hengshan has money but no food, and the food from other countries has been purchased by Qi. Hengshan can't find anyone to ask for help, so it has to surrender to Qi.

In addition to the Hengshan conspiracy, the trade war launched by Guan Zhong also included classic trade wars such as buying a deer to control Chu, buying a fox to descend to the next generation, and taking silk to surrender to Luliang.

Every time you can draw from the bottom of the pot, you can subdue the enemy without a single soldier!
With Wu's current national strength, it has completely crushed the two countries of Korea and Wei. It is very simple to start a trade war.

"Dazai's words are wrong."

Wu Zixu frowned and said: "It only takes 20 troops to destroy Han and Wei. The Dazai has worked so hard to use such treacherous schemes to harm both Han and Wei. I'm afraid it will take too long, and my treasury of Great Wu will do it." empty."

Wen Zhong shook his head and said: "Grand Sima, send troops to destroy the two countries of Korea and Wei at this time, my Great Wu will at least kill tens of thousands of soldiers, why bother?"

"If the two countries can be exhausted for their livelihoods, and eventually suffer the consequences, how can we fight without food?"

"Half a year, half a year is enough. My Great Wu has half a year to prepare for the plan to destroy Han and Wei, and in the end it may be defeated without a fight. But thousands of people."

　The Great Unification War of the Wu Kingdom has begun. This time, it has swept the world in one go and completely devoured the nations.The author is here to ask for collections, subscriptions, praise, monthly tickets, rewards, and various data. . .
