"Defend the city and fight for aid?"
"Miss Xiao, are you sure this kind of thing can happen?"
Commander Yang and General Yang, who are familiar with military strategy, understood what she meant.
The enemy wants to guard the capital of Jin and attack the reinforcements from all over the state of Jin.
This kind of situation rarely happens, and most of them only have to besiege the city to fight for aid.
Because the capital of Jin is no ordinary place, how heavily guarded is the capital of a country? If you want to defend the city and fight for aid, you must first capture the capital of Jin, and the soldiers and horses from all over the state of Jin will rush to the capital of Jin like crazy. In this way, if there is another foreign aid, it will naturally cause Jin's army and horses to suffer a lot.
"If there is no other reasonable explanation, no matter how incredible the inference is, it may be true." Wu Zhe clapped the espionage report in his hand, and extracted more content from it to show everyone: "There is no catastrophe or famine in Jin. The sudden increase of a large amount of grain and grass reserves, and even the purchase of a large amount of oil, iron arrowheads, etc., are preparations for the defense of the city. Our intelligence figures are those, but in reality there may be more unidentified figures.”
Everyone had to nod their heads and felt reasonable.
Wu Zhe went on to say: "The troops at the border and on the back of the Tucheng who have captured and killed Qi Shizi can suddenly withdraw, even if he is already trapped, and leave in a hurry regardless of whether the consequences are guaranteed, there must be a monarch level. Big problem."
"Well, since King Qi intends to kill me, they are reluctant to give up my piece of fat." The prince laughed at himself: "If something happens to King Jin in Jindu, they will naturally rush back."
"However, King Qi wanted to put his son to death. This idea is weird. If someone is behind the scenes to fuel the flames." Wu Zhe said with a smile: "I thought of a person. If Jin Jian, all this is easy to explain."
Shizi and the others looked stern: "Who could it be?"
They can ask such words. It's not that Wu Zhe's deduction is too bold and absurd, at least it has reached the level of half-belief.
"There are more than a million people in the world, but as long as there is a clue to infer, it is too reckless to think boldly, but I think what I think is very logical." Wu Zhe made a fool of himself. Looking at the frowning people thinking about it for a while, he said: "Didn't you just mention the Zuo Guoshi of the Jin State just now. He originally had a good relationship with our Qi State, and he is a person who understands things..."
"Him? Impossible! He is upright and will never betray the state of Jin." The sad autumn old man couldn't help but shouted.
The son faintly thought of some clue, but was interrupted suddenly, and quickly persuaded: "Don't worry, just listen to Miss Xiao. She just talked about the introduction of a certain character."
Wu Zhe nodded: "Indeed, it's not him. But we can assume that if the head of Zuo Guoshi's doctorate channel knows that the son is besieged, will he agree?"
Everyone shook their heads. Mo Shuo, Bo Taoist chief, and suzerain are best friends. A clear head alone would not have done such a foolish thing.
"The majestic Zuo Guoshi of a country, under the rule of King Jin, who is dizzy from time to time, dare not say that he has an intelligence system like our Qi country, but at least it will not be so weak that it is not enough to mobilize the military force to surround and kill the prince from multiple directions. I know. Even if it’s concealed for a while, it’s not justified if it’s been like this for many days. Up to now, no envoy has come to ask and care, which is even more wrong.”
The prince nodded: "Miss Xiao, you just said that something big happened involving the king."
Wu Zhe's words had already made that person want to say: "Yes. So the person who can make Zuo Guoshi powerless to distract him, and who can slander and persuade King Qi to faint is naturally..."
"You Guoshi! A Buddhist master who holds a heavy army in Jin!" The prince exclaimed.
The Buddhist master of the Jin Kingdom and the Buddhist Commander of the Tianbo Mansion of the Shizi are completely different things.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
The Right Master will treason? Everyone was still skeptical for a moment.
But according to Wu Zhe's thinking. If he had indeed betrayed Jin, everything would be easy to explain.
"I'm not Heiyou Guoshi, but just thinking about it." Wu Zhe said with a chuckle.
It's just black, okay? There was no evidence for concluding the case, not even sufficient pointers, so she just picked out You Guoshi. Does she have any enmity with the Buddhist master
"That's right, why didn't I think of it? You Guoshi is responsible for the defense of the capital of Jin. It is not a problem to add city defenses." The prince slapped his forehead and said: "Although this kind of inference is too sensational, it makes everything go too far. reasonable explanation."
As if turning the sun and the moon to see the blue sky, the son has a very quick mind. He has already sorted out his thoughts under the reminder of Wu Zhe, and analyzed: "If the Buddha is a traitor, it is very likely that he will slander and ask King Qi to propose a plan to host his daughter. It is very likely It is also guessed that the Qi State Council will send enough people to the Jin State."
"The king of Jin didn't know what convulsions he committed, and he wanted to put you to death. Without telling the Zuo Guoshi, he secretly drew a large number of troops to guard your escape route everywhere, and the military defenses around the capital of Jin will be empty." Wu Zhe added: " Then Wu Guo's surprise attack army happened to capture and kill the prince, and the You Guoshi was in Jindu..."
Wu Zhe deliberately paused, and the prince immediately continued: "The Right Master is in the capital of Jin, launching a rebellion. He has been in Jin for a long time, and the army is not well-defended, so the chances of success are greatly increased. Jin's capital fell, and the Zuo Guoshi was in a state of desperation. Not on my side, just rush to mobilize troops from all over the country to help the king save the capital."
"As soon as I checked or ordered the troops everywhere, I found that a large number of troops were missing to surround me, so I hurriedly called them back. It happened that I was also going out to break through, so I was lucky not to be blocked. Traces of departure." The prince seemed to be playing against Wu Zhe, and each of them said a paragraph: "No wonder the 30,000 troops of the Wu Kingdom surrounded my 2,000 ranks in Tucheng and did not kill them. It turned out that they expected me to break out of the encirclement and run into Jin. After the ** team was killed by them, the conflict between the two countries would increase and it would be impossible to form an alliance. Fortunately, the news of the accident in Jindu was quickly dealt with by Zuo Guoshi, and the Jin army was transferred back."
Wu Zhe said again: "Perhaps the Wu Kingdom has another clever strategy. Not killing you is also a bargaining chip. Anyway, the 30,000 cavalry are used to sneak attack the troops of the Qin Kings who are saving the capital, which is very useful."
Everyone listened to the two of you and me, and gradually analyzed the matter, not only everyone was dumbstruck.
Although I can't believe it, it seems that such an analysis makes sense. Although there are inevitable mistakes and omissions or some unreasonable places, they may be due to insufficient information.
"Miss Xiao is talented!" Commander Yang bowed and saluted.
The old man didn't expect that the young lady Xiao who was brought to welcome by the son not only made great military exploits, but also had a mind comparable to that of a military advisor.
What kind of counselor is she still self-effacing? With this keen sense of strategy, it is definitely possible to be a military adviser.
The sad autumn old man and others also praised him for a while, and Minister Jin even respected Wu Zhe as an idol.
"These are all my guesses, and I may not be right." Wu Zhe looked at Shi Zi: "It's up to you to believe it or not. If I guess wrong, don't blame me."
The son said seriously: "Where did Miss Xiao come from? Every sentence is reasonable and shocking. I don't dare to believe it completely. It's probably okay to believe it."
"Even if you're not lying, I can't fully believe this too bold assumption. If you say you believe it completely, I don't believe you." Wu Zhe rubbed his forehead and said.
The crown prince couldn't help but smiled awkwardly. Being a king is not easy. If you blindly declare that you trust your subordinates, you may not be able to trust them. He clasped his hands and asked, "I still need to ask Mr., er, Miss Xiao..."
I was too deep into the play just now, and Shizi suddenly felt that her thinking was mature, like an old pedant or an old man like Fo Shuai, who habitually said something wrong, and hurriedly corrected it: "Ask Miss Xiao, I believe that you are so high-spirited." On inference. But is this the only strategy to defend the Qi state and enter the country to fight against traitors?"
Wu Zhe waved his feather fan again, and said in a pompous manner: "I have three strategies, the upper, the middle, and the lower. Just now it was only the best strategy. I wonder if the prince is willing to listen to the other two strategies?"
The son was ashamed, and quickly said: "I would like to hear the details."
Wu Zhe took a sip from the teacup in hand, put on a good posture and said, "The best strategy is to use Zong Zhilian as a banner, needless to say, it takes advantage of the time, place, people and the three items."
Timing, location, harmony of people? This is the first time Shizi and others have heard of these three things.
The vocabulary is not complicated and easy to understand. Although there are similar ideas in the theory of governing the country, it is still rare to summarize them systematically.
Wu Zhe said: "The middle strategy is to send a large number of masters to Qidu to find out and report back immediately before making a decision. This round trip will take at least ten days, and the time will be exhausted. Therefore, the middle strategy can only take advantage of the geographical advantage and people's harmony. item."
Hearing this, the son's eyes lit up, and he felt that the basis for weighing the right time, place and people was very reasonable, and hurriedly asked: "Then the worst policy is..."
"The worst policy is to wait until the Jin State is in distress and ask for help before sending troops to rescue. This may be more than half a month later, and the land in the Jin State is scorched, and the forces of the Wu State may have controlled most of the Jin State. The time and place are all lost. , we can only take one item of people and one item when we send troops.”
Everyone praised and turned their eyes to Shizi.
Wu Zhe also looked at the slightly frowning prince, waiting for him to make up his mind.
She is also thinking about it, and it is estimated that the son will choose a more gentle middle strategy, just like Liu Bei said seriously: the top strategy is too urgent, the bottom strategy is too slow, the middle strategy is neither urgent nor slow, which is very suitable for me...
Unexpectedly, the prince slapped his hands suddenly and shouted: "Forget it, let's fight! The best strategy! We are going to send troops to the Jin Kingdom immediately!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Wu Zhe was also taken aback.
I didn't expect Shizi to be so courageous, but...
"My lord, you said that, but although the frontier army respects you now, if they want to mobilize..." Wu Zhe stopped talking after a smile.
"The pillars of the frontier army and the country cannot be moved without the order of the king." The son nodded to express his understanding: "I will immediately set off to the border of Qiwu to ask for orders. I would like to ask Miss Xiao to come back to Qidu... oops!"
Everyone is surprised,
"Oh, why did I forget one very important point, in fact, it's not easy for me to show my face." The crown prince sighed: "Under his banner, I can't join the army." (To be continued...)
