Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 338: Ma Wen is a Talent

In the academy, everyone sleeps together in the dormitory at night.

Originally, the Master wanted to give Fusu a separate courtyard, but Fusu refused.

Dormitories are not allocated according to identity or background like classroom seats. Instead, students are free to choose and can live in a dormitory as long as there are vacancies, and they can also change dormitories.

This is because students all have their own social lives.

The academy has a total of five wings for students to live in, each with ten beds.

Everyone is about the same age and sleeps in the same dormitory.

Fusu, Zhu Yingtai, Wangcun, Liang Shanbo, Ma Wencai and five other people of similar age lived in the same dormitory room.

"What are you doing?"

At night, Zhu Yingtai suddenly appeared behind Fusu and asked curiously.

The sound here immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all gathered around looking at Fusu under the oil lamp.

"Why are you looking at the map?"

Looking at the map on the table illuminated by the oil lamp, Zhu Yingtai asked curiously.

"Analyze which country should be destroyed first."

Fusu said with a smile, and then pointed to the map: "Later Qin, Western Liang, Northern Wei, which country do you think should be destroyed first?"

Hearing this, all the students looked at each other.

"Which one? I'll continue to recite the article."

"I am reviewing the essence of what the Master said today."

"I'm going to sleep now. I need to get enough rest so that I can study more deeply tomorrow."

Hearing this, the students around found excuses and quickly left.

It is better for them not to get involved in such major family and national affairs.

Although they are young and energetic and sometimes discuss state affairs, they are all just talk and impulsive words.

They should not embarrass themselves in front of Fusu, the crown prince and a real expert. Moreover, Fusu might really fight, and if he listened to their advice and lost, they could not bear the responsibility.

Even Ma Wencai didn't dare to speak easily.

"You guys are just people who still dare to dream of fame, wealth and power!"

Seeing everyone's reactions, Fusu sneered and continued looking at the map.

"I think we should attack Western Qin first!"

At this moment, Liang Shanbo spoke, pointing to Western Qin, the smallest area on the map.

"Oh, tell me your reasons?"

Seeing where Liang Shanbo pointed, Fusu couldn't help but smile and asked. In history, it was indeed the Later Qin that destroyed the Western Qin.

"Reason..." Upon hearing this, Liang Shanbo also spoke frankly: "This country is the smallest, has the same name as the Later Qin Dynasty, and is adjacent to the Later Qin Dynasty."

Liang Shanbo gave three reasons in one breath.

These three reasons are indeed reasons that can lead to war.

However, Fusu shook his head in disappointment.

In today's era, when you want to destroy a country, do you need to care about its land area? Is it adjacent to the country?

If it were the Later Qin, given the current situation, they would definitely not choose the Western Qin, even if they allied with the Eastern Jin, because the timing was not right.

I thought he was a talented person, but it turned out that he was just taking things for granted. He is quite courageous.

When Ma Wencai saw Fusu shaking his head, he couldn't help but frown and start thinking.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It shouldn't be Xi Qin."

"Although Western Qin is small, less than one-tenth the size of Later Qin, Northern Liang will not sit idly by and watch Later Qin swallow up Western Qin. This is the truth that the lips and teeth are cold."

"The surrounding countries will not allow the Later Qin to annex the Western Qin, otherwise the Later Qin will stab a sharp knife among them and divide and destroy them. Once the Later Qin goes to war with the Western Qin, the surrounding countries will certainly help the Western Qin."

"The Western Qin army is being held back, and the Northern Wei is more likely to stab them in the back. So although the Western Qin is small, it cannot be destroyed by the Later Qin at the moment, otherwise it will affect the entire body. Am I right?" After Ma Wencai finished his analysis, he looked at Fusu.

"That's true for the Later Qin." Fusu nodded. "Then which country do you think I should destroy first?"

Although Ma Wencai's analysis was from the perspective of the Later Qin Dynasty, his arguments were well-reasoned and Fusu didn't mind listening to his opinions.

Hearing this, Ma Wencai frowned. He wanted to say Northern Wei, but he held back and instead looked at the map carefully.

Fusu just gave three choices: Western Qin, Northern Liang, and Northern Wei.

Northern Liang was still behind Western Qin. If one wanted to destroy Northern Liang, one had to cross Western Qin. Then the problem would return to Western Qin. It would be even more impossible to attack Northern Liang via Yinshan Mountain. The surrounding countries would also provide support, making the situation even more difficult. There seemed to be only one answer, and that was Northern Wei.

Moreover, if they attacked Northern Wei, they would not have to worry about the backstabs from the Later Qin, Xiliang and other countries. These weak countries would only wish for a bloody fight with a strong country and would not easily join the war. Destroying Northern Wei would also be in line with the long-term strategy of the Later Qin.

However... the Northern Wei was quite powerful, and the Later Qin wanted to destroy the Northern Wei, but it was likely to end in failure. Otherwise, if both sides were to suffer losses, the Eastern Jin and those small countries would surely benefit.

Even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Later Qin Dynasty formed an alliance, I am afraid that the alliance would be broken by then.

Ma Wencai couldn't help but think of the Later Qin and Eastern Jin joining forces to destroy the small country, but he shook his head and rejected this idea in his heart.

If this were to happen, after the destruction of the small states, the Later Qin would be sandwiched between the Northern Wei and the Eastern Jin. The Northern Wei would certainly stab the Later Qin in the back and weaken it.

The end result was that the Later Qin Dynasty made wedding dresses for the Northern Wei and Eastern Jin Dynasties.

Ma Wencai couldn't help but assume that the Later Qin attacked the Northern Wei, and the Eastern Jin destroyed the Western Qin and other small countries.

But after thinking about it, I rejected it again.

The Northern Wei was quite powerful, and small countries like Western Qin would certainly unite to resist the annexation by the Eastern Jin. In the end, either their efforts would be in vain, or the result would be the same as the previous scenario.

Even if the Later Qin could annex the Northern Wei, the Eastern Jin could not destroy these small countries, and the Eastern Jin definitely did not want to see the Later Qin annex the Northern Wei and grow rapidly.

Even if the Later Qin Dynasty could annex the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty also annexed small countries, and the result would be equally unfavorable to the Later Qin Dynasty.

Because it was surrounded by powerful national forces such as Hou Yan, Khitan, and Rouran.

“What is the need? What is the timing?”

Unable to figure it out, Ma Wen simply asked Fusu two key questions.

He knew too little information.

"Establish your authority! No need for timing!" Fusu said calmly. "Also, don't think about it from the perspective of the Later Qin, think about it from the perspective of this place!"

As he spoke, Fusu pointed his finger at Yinshan Mountain.

"Are you a Rouran?" Ma Wencai was surprised when he saw what Fusu was pointing at.

I immediately understood it in my heart.

The Later Qin and the Rouran occupied the north and south of the Yin Mountains respectively. The Rouran in the north had not set foot in the Central Plains, so the Later Qin obviously did not need to send troops from the Yin Mountains.

If the Rouran wanted to enter the Central Plains, they had to send troops from Yinshan.

For the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it would undoubtedly be more beneficial to make the north more chaotic.

It was also in the interests of the Rouran to enter the Central Plains and unite with the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Moreover, if the Rouran wanted to enter the Central Plains, they really needed to establish their authority.

The conditions for unity are now in place.

When the others heard Ma Wencai's words, they all looked at Fusu in surprise.

"No, you are definitely not a Rouran."

However, the next second, without waiting for Fusu to answer, Ma Wencai said with certainty.

Because it doesn't make sense.

If Fusu was a Rouran, how could he lead 3,000 cavalrymen across the Later Qin and those small countries into the Eastern Jin Dynasty? There would be no need to use the name Ying Fusu.

"You still have some brains!"

Fusu said with a smile.

Ma Wencai was not happy about Fusu's praise, but frowned deeply.
