"How did he do this?" King Qin Wulie was a little shocked. He looked at Li Ru and asked, "Is this the academic disagreement between the teacher and Jiang Jiaquan?"

Li Ru was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "The common people should not be rich. If you are rich, you will cherish your life. If you are rich, you will be lazy. If you are rich, you will easily lose your ambition. If you are rich, it will be easy to care about the small family and not everyone else. If things go on for a long time, the country will not dare to fight. The army has no one who dares to die."

"Why is the Eastern Army so strong?" King Qin Wulie continued to ask.

Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "How can Da Qin compare with the Zhengdong Army?"

King Qin Wulie nodded. The two are indeed incomparable. Qin has a vast territory and dominates the world. The Qin army is so strong that it surpasses all other armies. It can be said that there is no opponent at all. However, the Eastern Expedition Army is small and weak, surrounded by foreign enemies. , in this environment, if they are not careful, they will lose everything and lose everything. Therefore, they must have a strong army to protect themselves, but Qin is different. Qin takes the initiative to attack outwards and expand itself. territory and power.

Li Ru is right. If everyone in Qin was rich, they would indeed lose their enterprising spirit. But now, although the country is rich, the people are poor. In order to climb up and change their lives and society, status, the people of the Qin State can only take the path of military merit, and judge the title based on military merit, so that everyone in the Qin Army dares to fight and strives to be the first. This is the basis for the survival of the Qin Army. Once lost, the Qin Army will definitely lose its current combat power. .

"But Gao Yuan and the Zhengdong Army must come within our sight. Judging from his sudden attack on Shannan County and his joint efforts with Zilan, he has realized the threat to him from Da Qin's establishment of Shannan County, that is, It is said that in his subconscious mind, our Great Qin is also his enemy." King Qin Wulie said thoughtfully, "I have to say that this person is the best choice in terms of strategy and martial arts. Few people can judge the situation. Now. Sitting in the western part of Liaoning and Hejian, it is also encroaching on the grassland. Once it becomes big, it will become a trouble for our great Qin."

Zhongli nodded and said, "What the king thinks, I think is very true. Although this person is weak now, if he gains momentum, it will be difficult to deal with him."

"What do you think, teacher?" King Qin Wulie looked at Li Ru.

"It is necessary to pay attention to this person, but there is no need to worry too much. At least at this stage, we do not need to pay too much attention to this person. First of all, he is not qualified to stand in front of us, and our methods of dealing with him are also very limited. Secondly, our current focus is still on completely conquering South Korea, fearing to consolidate the rule of South Korea, and making South Korea the basis for our attack on Wei. In this way, the domestic economic pressure will be greatly reduced. . After taking over the Wei State, the general trend of the world will be in our hands. Although Zhao Chu is strong, we have divided it into two and it is difficult to form a joint force. Only then will we be able to do what we can." Ru said calmly.

"What the teacher said is indeed the advice of a mature man seeking the country. Although Gao Yuan is strong, he is still a young tiger after all. It is hard to say whether he can grow up.

If he can defeat Donghu and bring all Liaodong, Liaoxi and the grasslands under his command, he will be qualified to stand in front of me. Now, there is no need to worry about him. Zhongli, please pay attention to this matter. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, to deal with the current Gao Yuan, firstly, we can send people to sneak into the grassland, win over the grassland tribes, promise them gold, silk, and official positions to lure them to deal with Gaoyuan and harass Daijun. Secondly, we can provide Donghu with military supplies. The intelligence of the Eastern Army enables Donghu to gain a certain advantage in the battle against the Eastern Army," Zhong Li said with a smile.

King Wulie of Qin laughed and said, "It's very good. In this way, it can be said that you don't have to pay much, but once you get something, it may be a big surprise. It can be said that it is a benefit at no cost."

"Your Majesty, although the loss of Shannan County will have little impact on the overall strategy of our Great Qin, it is related to the face of our Great Qin. We cannot leave it alone. We must send troops to recapture it. I wonder who your Majesty wants?" Zhongli thought for a while. asked.

"General Li is leading the main army outside, and General Wang Xiao is confronting Zhao State at Hangu Pass. Meng Tian cannot move as far as Chu State is concerned." King Wulie of Qin went through the generals in the country one by one in his mind, but he felt that there was no A general who can stand alone can't help but hesitate a little. It's not that the Qin State can't find anyone, but that there are some people that King Qin Wulie can't use with confidence.

"Zhongli, do you have anyone to choose?" King Qin Wulie asked.

The Lord Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I really do have someone I can recommend. Your Majesty is also familiar with this person. That is General Wang Jian, the son of General Wang Xiao."

"Wang Jian? Are you too young?" A slightly childish face appeared in King Qin Wulie's mind.

"Although Wang Jian is not yet twenty, he has been fighting with his father for several years. With the words and deeds of General Wang Xiao, his talents are naturally good. But this time when I go to Shannan County, what I have to face is just the challenge of generation. An unknown general in the county can be used as a training ground for these young people to practice, and maybe they will become another famous general like General Li in the future!" Zhongli said.

"Where did the army and horses come from?" King Wulie of Qin stroked his thick beard, "Wang Jian should be at Hangu Pass now. If he and his subordinates are removed from there, Hangu Pass will be a little weak."

"Your Majesty, why do you need to mobilize troops from Hangu Pass?" Li Ru said with a smile: "This king can be a general, but if the men and horses are needed, militia groups from various places can be recruited as reserve soldiers."

"The casualties will increase in this way!" Zhong Li frowned and said: "The Daijun soldiers guarding Shannan County are well-trained troops and are not much inferior to the Zhao State's standing army."

"It doesn't matter whether you can take it or not!" Li Ru said calmly: "The attack on Shannan County is just to show our Great Qin's attitude. In fact, from my point of view, I am not in a hurry, but I can use it to practice my skills. It is rare to have such a good one. Sparring partner!”

"Sparring partner?" Zhong Li asked in surprise.

"Does Master Li have another clever plan?" King Qin Wulie looked at Li Ru with wide eyes and asked with a smile.

"One arrow cuts an ear!" Li Ru smiled: "First, we can use Shannan County as a training ground, constantly rotate domestic reserves and militia there, and use the Zhao people here to train a team for us. Their elite soldiers will definitely be of great use in the future war with Zhao. Secondly, our Qin people have been attacking Shannan County, but they cannot win it, and even suffer defeats. The morale of Dai County must be high, and Zilan is here. The reputation within the Zhao Kingdom should have greatly increased. You know, when Zhao Wuji was in power, he lost nine out of ten battles against our great Qin Tigers. Now Zilan, with the power of a county, has left our Qin people helpless. Aren't the Zhao people excited? ?”

"This is a plan to alienate people. Zhao Wuji must be frightened, angry, annoyed and hateful!" King Qin Wulie laughed. "It would be wonderful if Zhao Wuji got rid of Zilan for the sake of the stability of his throne."

"That's exactly the truth!" Li Ruyi said with a smile: "Kill two birds with one stone, why not?"

"That's right!" King Qin Wulie slapped his hands and smiled. "That's it. I will transfer Wang Jian to Shannan County and help him form a new army. I will name it Hu Ben Army. I will personally give him the flag."

All three people laughed. King Wulie of Qin personally presented the flag, which invisibly gave a wrong signal to the outside world. This army was the king's own soldiers. If such an army failed to win in Shannan County repeatedly, it would be stronger. This highlighted the combat effectiveness of Daijun soldiers, which made Zhao Wuji even more angry.

Either don't do it, or do it to the extreme. This is naturally the style of King Wulie of Qin. As for whether the army he personally gave the flag to suffered repeated defeats, it would damage his face, he didn't care at all.

The face of King Wulie of Qin is not valuable, but the face of Great Qin is valuable. That's what he thought.

The moment Lu Chao stepped out of the prison, he couldn't help but squint his eyes. He had stayed in the prison for nearly two months without seeing the sun every day. At this time, he was a little uncomfortable with the light outside. Although there was no sun, he could not see the sun. There were only white patches of snow everywhere, but I still felt a soreness in my eyes. I squinted my eyes. After a while, I finally got used to the light outside.

The release came so suddenly that even he did not expect that the official from the Ministry of Punishment read out the punishment for him expressionlessly. Because he paid a considerable amount of criminal silver, Lu Chao's crime had been absolved. However, his His official position, his rank and salary, everything was gone. Now, he became a white man again, a commoner at the bottom of the Qin Kingdom.

But Lu Chao doesn't care, he believes that it won't take long for him to rise again, and for this goal, he will do whatever it takes, at any cost, because only by regaining a certain position can he stand in the future. In front of Gao Yuan, and personally put an end to Gao Yuan's dream.

His mother didn't come, and neither did Lu Bin. Obviously, they didn't know the news of his release. But the last time Lu Bin came to visit him, he had already told him the place where his mother and he rented, so he could just find it by himself. .

After pulling over a jailer in front of the prison door and asking for the address, Lu Chao wrapped his thin clothes tightly and strode out.

The snow on the street is very thick. If you step on it, you will see a deep footprint. The footprints extend into the distance until they disappear at the end of the street.

Pushing open the ajar door, Lu Chao walked into the small courtyard. It was a rather dilapidated house, with pitted walls, rotten rafters protruding from the top of the wall, and the windows, which didn't even have window paper. The wooden boards were actually nailed up. Perhaps this could block some of the cold air, but the light inside the house was also lost.

A gray-haired old man, holding a bundle of firewood and stooped, walked to the door and stretched out his hand to open the door. Looking at the figure from behind, was it Lu Bin or someone else?

"Steward Lu!" Lu Chao's eyes were a little sore.

The old man turned around suddenly, and the firewood in his hand fell to the ground.

"Master!" Lu Bin turned around, and the next moment, he yelled desperately, "Old madam, the master is back!" RS
