"The child is arrogant and wants to put me on the fire! Get out!"

When Zhao Wuxi walked out of the dormitory, Zhao Yang's anger echoed in his mind: he was kicked out after being slapped with a bundle of files from his father.

"At least until I die, you don't want to do anything arrogant!"

Although Zhao Yangming's stern rejection was more formal than Wu Xie's rejection of his sister-in-law, this trial was not a failure. Zhao Wu Xie at least knew Zhao Yang's bottom line: Zhao Zhifu did not have the aspirations of the princes, he at most If he wants to be King Wen of Zhou, he will start and finish well as Jin Qing, and the career of King Wu should be left to his son.

As for the newspaper sister-in-law that was originally going to be discussed, it was left to nothing. Compared with the trivial matter of accepting the sister-in-law, Zhao Wuxi was more interested in stealing the country.

The next thing to do is to comfort the soldiers this winter and consolidate the front, so that in the spring next year, we can win the victory for the Zhao family in a more brutal war...

...

In the 22nd year of King Beggar of Zhou (498 BC), the northern country was full of golden drums, but the southern country was peaceful. Of course, this was just the tranquility before the war.

The capital of Wu State, Gusu, was a newly established city. It was not until the time of Helu that the country was strong that Wu Zixu was allowed to build the city of Wu according to the style of the capital of Chu State. The two large and small cities, Zhuangguo Zhouza, the heavy city at the end, the gates 28, and the waterway Luqu, already have some of the grandeur of a big country, but because of the simplicity of nature, the Wu Palace does not appear luxurious.

According to the practice of previous years, Wu Wang Helu lived in Guxuzhitai outside the city in the spring and summer, trained his soldiers personally, and moved to the city to handle government affairs in the autumn and winter. At this moment. He was wearing short armor that never left his body, holding the short sword around his waist, standing on the two tall shooting platforms in Gusu City. A young prince wearing a precious white rhino leather armor and a middle-aged scholar dressed as an old soldier accompanied him.

The three of them looked at Shino. You can see the scenery of Junchi and Changzhou on the outskirts of Gusu City. Although the winter solstice has passed, Wu State is located in the south, and the mountains and trees are still prosperous and green.

Wu Wang Helu was short and strong, with a little gray in his short dark hair. After all, he was also fifty years old, although he was approaching old age. The ambition hidden in my heart is more and more revealed, and seeing this scene, I can't help but sigh: "Great mountains and rivers!"

The young prince looked very similar to Helu, who was the prince of Wu State, and he immediately responded, "Although there are still many grasslands and wilderness in this thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, the land is vast and the people are sparsely populated, but everyone is a warrior. Isn't it the foundation of kings and hegemony, the foundation of a great country? If the father and king can send troops north to the Central Plains, they will not lose to Qi Huan, Jinwen, and Chuzhuang!"

"Are you going north to seek hegemony?" Flattery to his son. He Lu just smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Fu Chai bowed down and said, "Of course, the state of Wu is also a descendant of Zongji. How can we let Jin people specialize in beauty? The boy is willing to go to Chengzhou for the father and king, and ask the importance of the nine cauldrons."

"Your Majesty, Prince, the mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, and it's too early to plot the Central Plains!" Seeing the ambition of the Prince of Wu, he couldn't hold back, and the middle-aged man dressed like an old soldier in the army immediately stood up to dissuade him. , He is Sun Wu, a soldier who has been with Zhao Wuxi for a long time. In his seemingly thin body, there are countless military tactics.

Wu Wang Helu nodded: "That's right. What the grandson said is reasonable, compared to the distant Central Plains. It is more important to solve the problems around the elbows and armpits first."

First destroy the nasty Yue Kingdom in the south, annex those Yue people who have the same pronunciation and customs as the Wu people, and then drive them back to attack Chu, completely defeating this big country. In the end, the only way to go north to compete is the strategic consensus reached by the monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom.

That's why King Helu of Wu had a greater tolerance for Zhao Wuxi's actions during the Song Rebellion, and did not send troops to fight for the Song Dynasty because of his son's momentary anger.

However, as the people of Wu who went on the expedition returned to the south, Shangqiu, Qufu, Taoqiu, Luoyang, Xinzheng, the wealth of these major cities has been passed on to King Wu's ears, which will also make him feel unbearable from time to time. Therefore, in addition to being based in the southern country, He Lu was also very concerned about the Central Plains, after all, that was the center of the struggle for hegemony in the world.

To achieve hegemony, to reach the prince from the emperor, is the dream of every prince in this era, and the king of Wu, who lives in seclusion on the seashore, is no exception, but he is more sophisticated than his husband, knows how to forbear his own desires, and also considers the strength of the enemy.

He turned around and asked Sun Tzu: "Grandson, few people have heard that Jin State in the north has fallen into a civil war, and the six generals are guarding the territory of Jin State. I dare to ask which of them will perish first? Who will succeed?"

"Well, the Bank of China died first." Sun Wu said without hesitation.

This guess is not unexpected, Helu nodded and said: "Fan has lost the song of the dynasty, the head of the family and the heir are all dead, and it is like extinction; and although the Zhongxing clan still retains the Bai people, they are also dead bones in the tomb, and they will not survive the next winter. After these two families? Who will die?"

"Knowing is second."

The Zhi clan is the ruling minister of the Jin state, and he has the righteous title supported by the marquis of Jin.

"Han and Wei are next."

Fuchai smiled disapprovingly at the side: "Does the gentleman think highly of Zhao's?"

Sun Wuchao, the Crown Prince of Wu State, clasped his fists and said, "If the old man's vision is right, the Zhao clan has not lost his old ways, and Jin will belong to him!"

...

"The Zhao family will get Jin?"

Wu Wang Helu repeated this sentence several times. When his uncle Ji Zha visited Jin, he also said something similar, "The government of Jin will be left to Zhao Wuzi, Han Xuanzi and Wei Xianzi", but now Sun Wu is more It was further pointed out that the Zhao family was the ultimate victor.

"Sir, it's just a joke, how can Zhao's son He De He Neng!?"

Fuchai was a little unconvinced. He and Zhao Wuxi had some holidays. After returning to China, he had been obsessed with Nanzi's seductive beauty, and planned to go north to Song State to find a place again, but this plan did not match the national policy of Wu State. Wang and Wu Zixu denied it.

Of course, Sun Wu is also indispensable among them. He is the one who is most resolutely opposed to going north.

"Can you listen to Mr.'s reason?"

Sun Wu pointed out the military situation and said: "Wei, Fan and Zhongxing were originally the most powerful ministers in Jin, but in normal times, the arrogant ministers were extravagant and wanted to fight several times, and regardless of their own strength and conditions, they forcibly went to war with the Zhao clan. . This is the defeat of Fan and Gong. The defeat of Chaoge, now Hanoi and Hebei are all swept away, isolated from the headquarters of Jin State. I am afraid that it will not be able to breathe for long, so it is said that Erqing died first."

Fu Chai asked, "What about the Zhi clan? The Zhi clan is the ruler of the Jin state. Shuai Zhongqing's crusade against the Zhao clan, with the support of the emperor outside, and the support of the people of the country, has a good chance to pacify the Zhao clan. How could he die?"

Sun Wudao: "The Zhi clan seems to have the righteous status of the emperor and the Marquis of Jin, but these things are of no practical use. From the news from the north, the Zhi clan has not prevailed in the past six months, and they have been unable to Clearing out the west of Taihang. In the final analysis, Zhibo emphasized power and strategy rather than military struggle."

"The Zhi clan itself is not strong enough, but forcibly confronted the Zhao clan, so he had to rely on the people of Xinjiang. However, Zhibo did not have any outstanding political achievements to convince the hearts of the people for several years in power. Rarely, once the battle becomes unfavorable for the Zhi clan, or the enemy invades the Xinjiang area and joins the battle with Zhibo, the situation of Muye Shang’s rebels may not be far away.”

Thinking of that scene, Sun Wu frowned slightly: "On the other hand, the hostile Zhao clan seems to be surrounded by groups. But in fact, they have taken all the land in Hanoi, Hebei, and Taihang in the west. The east is connected to the river and the land. It is strong and solid, and it can send tens of thousands of laborers at any time to help. In the east, Lu and Song countries resisted the Qi people, and in the west, Jinyang and Han held back the main force of the Zhi clan. Go south to Fawei, Gu, Kunwu, and then destroy the situation of Xia Jie!"

What Sun Wu said was reasonable, but Kefucha was annoyed when he heard it, in just two or three years. Zhao Wuxi stole the government of Lu, and now he has returned to Jin to open up territory for the Zhao clan. But what about Wu Guo? It has been recuperating for several years. At the same time, he was caught in a dispute with the Chu State and defended against the harassment of the Yue people. How can he not be annoyed that he has accomplished nothing?

But even though he was annoyed, he had to admit that what Sun Wu said was indeed the truth.

"The prince saw Zhao Bing's formation in Song, what do you think?"

Wu Wang Helu looked at his son with eagle eyes, and Fuchai had to bite the bullet and said, "His foot soldiers are no less than Wu Jia, his crossbow machine is far better than a short bow, and his horsemen are even more elusive and difficult to deal with."

Sun Wu nodded: "Therefore, with the skill of Zhao Bing, coupled with the strategy of Zhao Wuxi, and the prestige of Zhao Zhifu, in this chaotic battle of Jin Qing, the Zhao family has a great chance of winning!"

...

Sun Wu has already said it thoroughly, but Kefucha still has doubts: "Sir expects that Zhao will win this battle, and Zhi will lose, then Wei will stand on Zhi's side, and Han will stand on Zhao's side. If Zhao wins, then Wei will destroy Han. Exist, why did sir say they will perish together later."

Sun Wu explained: "Wei clan's head is on both sides. Seeing that there are many soldiers in the west of Taihang, Zhibo and Jin Hou, they will go to Jin. With time, when the battle situation is reversed, they will again fall to Zhao clan, so like Han, it is not necessarily the case. will be defeated in this battle."

In the end, he firmly announced the prediction: "By taking advantage of opportunism in the war, the Wei family is likely to have all the land in Hedong, while the Han family may gain Hanoi, Shangdang and other places. Although they can greatly expand after the war, they are too weak compared to the Zhao clan. Once the Zhao clan becomes dominant after the war, even if the two families are united, they cannot resist. Therefore, it is said that they will perish!"

"Soldiers, the major events of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of life and death must be observed. Your Majesty, this is the conclusion of the temple calculation after weighing the five conditions of the six ministers' Tao, heaven, earth, general, and law. It must be completely accurate, but it is not far from ten!"

After being silent for a long time, Wu Wang Helu, who had been listening carefully to Sun Wu's statement, slowly opened his mouth and said: "Sir, I have been taught a lot, but I can gain the country by force, but not necessarily stick to it. This is what my master warned me. The matter. Although the Zhao clan can defeat the battlefield, but after this battle, facing the Jin state office that has lasted for hundreds of years, if the Wei and Han Gong support the office, can they really replace it?"

"On this point, the Zhao clan has also done an excellent job. I asked Qu Ao from the Jin state, and I learned that the six ministers of the Jin state have different mu systems. 160 steps are good at one mu of land; Zhi clan makes land with 90 x 180 steps as mu; Han and Wei clans take 100 x 200 steps as mu, and they both use one-fifth of the output as tax. Only Zhao Shi, whether it’s Jinyang or Lu, both have a length and width of 200 steps as the mu~lightnovelpub.net~ The mu system is the largest, the state of Lu is subject to 11 tax, and the newly opened land near Jinyang is exempt from tax for three years…”

Fu Chai disagreed: "With a mere mu system, can you see the luck of the family and country?"

"Of course!"

Sun Wu glanced at the talented but impetuous prince. He was a disciple of Sun Wu, but he only learned the skin of the military struggle, not the essence of predicting the enemy.

"Fan and Bank of China used a small mu and heavy tax to support their clans and officials, so that the people did not agree with them. Although Zhihe, Han and Wei have a slightly larger mu system, they are not as good as the Zhao family. Consolidate the country's good laws. Therefore, after the war, when the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han are divided into Fan, Zhongxing, and Zhi clan, a large number of people will inevitably flow into the Zhao clan's territory, where they can get more land and pay less tax."

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince, this small mu system may not be effective at first, but within ten years as long as it takes a generation, the Zhao family will surely win the hearts and minds of the Jin state and have it on behalf of Jin!"
