Competing

Chapter 321 Chapter [-] General Pu's Argument
Seeing that aggressive tactics are useless, Zhou Hao can only lower his profile and talk to Si Yao for the sake of the family's survival and safety.After all, the Zhou family still exists now, and it has not lost its use value to Si Yao, so it can still be persuaded to a certain extent.

Although the Zhou family and the Xu family played an important role for him, they were not indispensable.Out of this consideration, Si Yao behaved more calmly.To a certain extent, he hoped that Zhou Hao could beg him, so that he might be able to extract more value from the remaining value of the Zhou family.

On the basis of coincidence, the two reached a consensus again, but their hearts and attitudes changed.Zhou Hao said: "My lord Si Yao, my Zhou family still has a lot of strength, especially food savings, which I think is what you need. If there is a longer delay, our family will be persecuted by Yin Xu. It may be a big loss for Yin Xu to keep what should belong to you. Your dream of becoming the real King of Ouyue will also be greatly delayed!"

Zhou Hao never mentioned the matter of asking Si Yao to save the Zhou family, but only named the usefulness of the Zhou family to Si Yao and the possible help.I hope to impress Si Yao with this, but of course this is already a disguised cry for help.It's just that the words are more decent, taking into account a little face, and they know each other well.

Xu Xuan also calmly said: "That's right, Master Si Yao, our Xu family's shipping and many external forces are still in my hands for the time being. I think it will also help Master Si Yao a lot. The northern part of Yue Kingdom is a plain with many rivers and lakes." , the shipping will be very helpful to Master Si Yao's offensive, and the long-term benefits will be obvious."

This point is also somewhat attractive to Si Yao. Now the army is stationed on the edge of the Ou River, and the boats used to cross the river are relatively dilapidated.The Xu family has almost monopolized the entire Jiangdong shipping industry, and their capabilities in this area are obvious to all.

Si Yao smiled and said, "After talking for a long time, the meaning of the two young masters is that I want my Dongou soldiers to rescue your family?"

Xu Xuan showed a wry smile, and Zhou Hao said, "Master Si Yao will be interested in things that are mutually beneficial."

An inscrutable smile flashed across Si Yao's face, and after a slight pause, he said, "But even if I send troops, both of your family members are in Yin Xu's hands and are at the mercy of others. I don't know if you have Is there any way to stop or coerce him so that he doesn't dare to do it?"

Hearing these words, both Zhou Hao and Xu Xuan suddenly fell into deep thought, and were a little more worried about their family members...

In Shanyin City, Yin Xu and the courtiers and generals finally negotiated to take over.

Chen Pingdao: "Your Majesty, Chen Ping agrees with General Su An's opinion, and concentrates his forces to defeat one of them first, so as to achieve a quick victory."

Yin Xu asked: "Which one should we hit first? What's your opinion, sir?"

Chen Ping replied: "If Your Majesty intends to recruit one of them, which one should he choose?"

Regarding the idea of ​​recruiting one of them, Yin Xu has already expressed it. Although he is not fully sure, it is still a good idea.The lack of troops in the Yue State is a very real problem. From the current point of view, it is difficult to change it in a short time.After all, the population base of Yue State is limited, and the increase will be carried out gradually, so there is a limit to the number of people who can recruit troops.Although some are worried about promoting the integration of ice soldiers and farmers, it will take a certain amount of time.

Therefore, if it is possible to adopt the method of recruiting surrender, it is naturally the best. Before, Wei Liao once mentioned to himself the former Qin soldiers in South Vietnam, but it has been a long time, and the long-term thirst cannot be quenched.It would be good if some soldiers could be strengthened from Wu Zhu and Si Yao in this battle. Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted, and it would be good if they could convince others with virtue.

Moreover, there is no hatred between each other that requires a fight to the death, but it is just for some interests and being provoked by others.Perhaps a balance point can be found in it, and it is unknown whether it will have miraculous effects.

It's just that the choice between Dongou and Minyue must be carefully considered and weighed against the pros and cons.Chen Ping analyzed: "Your Majesty, before I came here, I had learned about Si Yao and Wu Zhu. Si Yao is treacherous and insidious, and he cares about profit and loss when doing things. It can be described in four words, that is mercenary. Surrender like this It can be said that he is seeking skin from a tiger. Relatively speaking, Si Yao from Minyue is more honest and straightforward. He has plans for our country, and he dares to lead the army directly to seize it, unlike Si Yao who is so secretive Lots of tricks."

Everyone naturally understood what Chen Ping was referring to. Si Yao first colluded with the Zhou family, and then joined forces with Minyue to attack Yue.From the deployment of a series of military operations, it can be seen that Si Yao has a lot of small calculations.

Su An who was on the side came out and said: "I heard Mr. Chen Ping's high opinion. Su An suggested that this battle should kill chickens and ban monkeys. There is nothing to fight. Firstly, Dongou's troops are relatively weak, so it is easier for us to deal with them. A quick battle. Use the most severe blow to tell the world the strength of our Yue country, which will have a deterrent effect. And force him as much as possible, and use both kindness and power. If he does not surrender, then he has no choice but to take advantage of the situation and attack. But in this way, Su General Jiao's Panyi defense line will bear several times the pressure..."

Yin Xu just listened silently, this is also a serious problem.Su Jiao now has only 1 troops in Fanyi, and it is really not easy to resist the attack of Wuzhu's army.If it is said that there are all elite troops, it is possible to fight against them, but in fact it is obviously impossible.In order to quickly defeat Si Yao's Eastern Ou army, the investment of elite troops is inevitable.

But now Yin Xu wants an army of only a little over 3 soldiers, those with combat experience are the 1 soldiers he brought back from Guanzhong, and the more than [-] soldiers recruited by Gao Yi, Lu Ming, Zhou Da and others can only be said He has been trained, barely considered well-trained, but he has never really been on the battlefield.An army that has not been baptized by the flames of war does not have much combat experience. If a battle like this requires a quick decisive battle and defeats the enemy as soon as possible, the combat effect will not be ideal.

The method Yin Xu thought of was that the veterans lead the recruits, and a certain degree of mixed formation allows them to clearly feel the war, experience life and death in the fight, and at the same time implement orders and prohibitions, command and actions in the same way, and finally achieve smooth flow.

Since the number of soldiers is not large, when the number is limited, we can only pursue quality as much as possible. Yin Xu's idea is the route of elite soldiers.To strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Yue army under his command as much as possible, weapons and equipment are a very important aspect, and Mr. Zhu has been invited back to build weapons.It can be seen that this master swordsmith who is somewhat related to Ou Yezi has a predestined relationship with him, and he has shown sincerity in cooperation and is willing to help him.

This made Yin Xu very excited, and even felt a little bit lucky.When Hui Jishan was looking for Mr. Zhu for his father, he just wanted to try his luck. He felt that such a hermit needed more courtesy to be able to invite him.Although Yin Xu really wanted to invite an expert sincerely, but the behavior itself was a bit of a show, which cannot be denied.

As a monarch, I want to act as if I am thirsty for talents and respect the corporals. I have such an urgent desire in my heart, and I have to show it in my actions. Otherwise, how can others know?Therefore, when Yin Xu went to Kuaiji Mountain to look for Mr. Zhu, it can be said that he was determined to have the same kindness as Liu Huangshu, and he wanted to invite someone after visiting the thatched cottage.

However, things are unpredictable in this world, and I don't know whether Yin Xu's luck is good or bad, and he almost lost his life in the quiet Kuaiji Mountains.But luckily, he was rescued by Luluo by accident, and his savior turned out to be Mr. Zhu's daughter.Moreover, this girl herself has extraordinary talents. Among the outstanding beauties I have seen, Fan Yilan and Xu Negative can also be regarded as talented women.

However, Fan Yilan's talents are mainly manifested in business and political foresight, and Xu negative's most powerful is the study of the Book of Changes.Luluo is different from them, she has the strongest bookishness.It's the kind of knowledgeable, quick-witted and intelligent, and the temperament is a kind of poetic and bookish, with a special charm.

Maybe it was because of his injury, thinking about it, Yin Xu realized that his mind game had gone far, and his thoughts hurriedly returned to dealing with Dongou and Minyue.

Just now, Su An thought that Dongou should be attacked first, and advocated stopping the unparalleled Fujian and Vietnam troops in Fanyi first.Yin Xu listened secretly, then asked again: "Pu Jun, what's your opinion?"

Pu Jun glanced at Su An beside him first, and said slowly, "My lord, I have a slightly different view from Bo Zhou."

When Su An heard what Pu Jun said, he was startled suddenly, why did he say something wrong?Mr. Chen Ping analyzed it like that, and if we extend it according to that idea, that's what it means.He himself agrees with such considerations, so he proposed it.

Could it be that he...Su An couldn't help but feel a little sad. He looked at Mr. Chen Ping in front of him. He proposed the idea, and he didn't know what he did and his attitude.However, Mr. Chen Ping remained silent, with a half-smile that was not a smile, and the ancient well was so calm that he couldn't see why.The expression on Su An's face was a little unnatural, and Yin Xu saw all of this.

Yin Xu asked: "Pu Jun, you said that you and Bozhou have different opinions, so you mean to send troops to attack Minyue first? Si Yao?"

Pu Jun nodded lightly: "Yes!"

Yin Xu smiled slightly and said, "Tell me your reason!" Su An also quickly pricked up his ears and listened intently to his statement and analysis. After all, Pu Jun had done a detailed investigation and analysis on this.Listen to yourself in the end is right or wrong?Where is the mistake?

Gao Yi is basically a layman when it comes to military affairs, except for asking about food, logistics, and the overall political situation, he basically can't talk about it.For a while, he sat quietly, listening respectfully to General Pu's conclusion.
