"Third brother, that's it..."

"A strong wall will clear the country?" After hearing this, Qin Yi nodded thoughtfully: "Do you think it is wrong to build a strong wall and clear the country?"

Qin Yue nodded matter-of-factly and said: "Of course not. The fishing villages on the seaside rely on the sea for their livelihood. How can they make a living if they leave the village they depend on for survival? By then, they will not be selling their sons and daughters, and their wives and children will be scattered."

Qin Yi frowned and said, "Is this the result of your investigation?"

Qin Yue was stunned for a moment and said: "Well, not really. I just found out about Jianbi Qingye. It's already late, so I haven't conducted any follow-up investigation for the time being. However, isn't this obvious?"

Qin Yi shook his head and said: "Your teacher should have taught you, 'Before doing anything, intelligence comes first.' I will also teach you a sentence today, 'No investigation, no authority.'"

Qin Yue opened her mouth and replied a little aggrievedly: "I know."

Looking at Qin Yue's aggrieved look, Qin Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Whether this is true or not is as you expected, you can find out for yourself after investigating tomorrow. Maybe it is really the same as you said.

.”

At this time, Qin Yue tilted her head, shook her head and said, "I hope I guessed wrong this time."

Qin Yi touched Qin Yue's head and said with a pleased smile: "Xiao Yue has really grown up."

Qin Yue immediately threw away Qin Yi's hand touching his head in dissatisfaction, turned his head and said, "I told you, I have grown up and am no longer a child. Don't touch my head anymore."

"Okay, okay." Qin Yi nodded perfunctorily, and then asked: "Besides this, do you think it's not good to clear the wilderness with strong walls? Is there any other reason?"

Qin Yue thought for a while, then suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up and he said: "It's also because that's not how the battle is fought. Third brother, look, Yun Shuai and the eldest brother are fighting. When did Yun Shuai erect a wall and clear the country? Yun Shuai is the emperor.

The enemy was outside the Great Wall. The eldest brother had the Southern Barbarians to death and trapped the Southern Barbarians in the military camp. Third brother, look at how Zhou Hou, the naval governor, fought the war.

The Eastern Army acted as a death squad, and they also fortified the walls and cleared the country, and moved all the people in the fishing villages hundreds of miles away from the sea inward. Who would fight like this? It is definitely wrong to fight like this."

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and said: "Xiao Yue, are you very interested in military affairs?"

Qin Yue nodded proudly and said: "Of course, you don't want to see whose apprentice or sister I am?"

The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, the disciple of the governor, and the sister of Marshal Zhennan.

This should be what Qin Yue wants to say.

Qin Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Then tell me why Yun Shuai and eldest brother didn't use the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field?"

Why?

Why else?

Isn’t it because strong walls and clear fields are wrong?

Wait, strengthening the wall and clearing the field is not Zhou Hou's original creation, it is a tactic that has existed before.

Qin Yue remembered that Master and Aunt Xin discussed this topic before when they discussed the war in southern Xinjiang. What they said at that time.

Qin Yue tilted her head, thought for a moment, finally recalled something, clapped her hands and said proudly.

"It's because the Southern Barbarians have always had small groups of troops attacking Southern Xinjiang. Even in peacetime, they have never stopped. The army in Southern Xinjiang has a complete early warning mechanism that can detect the Southern Barbarians' troops in advance. The Zhennan Army has also set up

Being on the north bank of the Changhe River makes it impossible for the southern barbarian army to invade silently like a small group of troops, so there is no need to erect walls to clear the country."

Qin Yi nodded: "Where is Northern Xinjiang?"

"Northern Xinjiang..." Qin Yue thought for a moment. Master and Aunt Xin didn't seem to have talked about this topic. He could only think hard and answer: "Northern Xinjiang is because there is a Great Wall Fortress, which can defend the enemy from the Long Fortress.

In addition, it is because Northern Xinjiang has always been threatened by Beidi, so we have already taken corresponding countermeasures, and also because, with Third Brother here, Third Brother will definitely not let Beidi cross the Great Wall."

Qin Yi didn't say right or wrong, just nodded with a smile, and then asked: "This time, let's think about the problem from a different angle. If you are Zhou Hou who has no battlefield experience, you represent the court, and you have to use a

What will you do if you form a temporary navy with the children of aristocratic families who are not willing to deal with the imperial court to resist the invasion of Dongyi?"

"This, this..." Qin Yue has never thought about it this way. Moreover, she only talks about military affairs on paper and hears rumors. If she was really asked to come, she would be blinded immediately.

"Is it too difficult?" Qin Yi saw Qin Yue's appearance and changed his words: "Then let's change the question. From the standpoint of the court, what are the benefits of erecting walls to clear the field?"

"benefit?"

Qin Yue had been thinking about the problem from the perspective of the Governor's Mansion before, treating the imperial court as an imaginary enemy, and all she saw were the disadvantages of clearing the country by erecting walls. Now, when she was asked to think about the benefits of clearing the country by erecting walls, she suddenly thought

Not coming out.

Qin Yue frowned, scratched his head, and began to think hard again.

"Don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly."

Qin Yi picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It was indeed the taste he remembered.

In this fantasy world, it is quite good to satisfy your appetite.

Qin Yue suddenly thought of what his master had said when he discussed the war situation with Aunt Xin, his eyes lit up and he said: "Before considering victory, consider defeat first. The purpose of strengthening the walls and clearing the country is to prevent the navy from being unable to resist the invasion of Dongyi pirates, and the worst-case scenario is to attack the shore."

When the situation arises, if you strengthen the walls and clear the fields, although some property will be lost, at least it can reduce the casualties of the people."

Qin Yi nodded. This sentence was on point. He asked in an encouraging tone: "Is there anything else?"

As soon as his thoughts opened up, Qin Yue's answer suddenly became smoother.

"Also, the purpose of strengthening the walls and clearing the country is to prepare the battlefield in advance. Although our navy has no advantage, our army has a great advantage. As long as the Dongyi pirates come ashore, we can easily defeat them with the army, not to mention

Or is it prepared in advance?”

The more he thought about it, the more Qin Yue became more and more obedient. He didn't need Qin Yi's flattery, so he continued: "Erecting walls to clear the country can also express the court's determination to fight against the Dongyi pirates, and it can also create a sense of tension. After all, it is related to their own interests.

, those land estates cannot be moved away, so the local martial arts families have to stand up and contribute money and efforts to fight the enemy together."

"Also, and ordinary people, whether those involved in erecting walls and clearing the country or not, will be aware of the dangers of this war, and whether voluntarily or forced, they will unite around the court to fight against the upcoming

The coming Dongyi pirates."

"Reduce casualties, increase chances of winning, unite all parties, tsk tsk..."

The more Qin Yue thought about it, the more he felt that erecting walls to clear the fields was really a good idea.

Qin Yi lowered his head to drink tea and asked with a smile: "Is this strong wall and clear field a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Of course..." Qin Yue nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly thought of his initial attitude and what happened to Xiaoyu, and couldn't help but froze there.

Qin Yi put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Any strategy has pros and cons. Making a strategy is to weigh the pros and cons and then make a decision."

Qin Yue said with a troubled face: "Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"

Qin Yi said with a smile: "Now that we know what the disadvantages are, we can naturally try to avoid them. Even if unexpected mistakes occur, we can correct them in time. If you are the person who implements this strategy, what will you do?

?”

Qin Yue immediately said: "I must give these people who are forced to leave their homes a chance to survive, and prevent them from selling their children and daughters."

Qin Yi smiled and said: "Yes, that's it. I think Zhou Hou should have thought of it, and he should have corresponding countermeasures. Tomorrow, use your eyes to see for yourself and see how Zhou Hou does

made."

After saying that, Qin Yi disconnected the communication.

After Qin Yue was in a daze for a while, he returned to the inn in Donglai County. Qin Yue lay on the bed, dazed for a long time, and then murmured: "Thinking from someone else's perspective. This is what Third Brother meant by thinking from someone else's perspective."

The next day, Qin Yue got up early. After breakfast, he took Xiaoyu to find the people who had been resettled during the Jianbi Clearing Period.

"What, they were placed in Huishuiwan?"

Seeing Qin Yue's surprised look, Xiaoyu asked nervously: "Is there any danger in Huishui Bay?"

Qin Yue shook his head, while recalling the information that Huishui was thinking about, he frowned and replied: "It's not dangerous in this season, but it is the intersection of three waterways in Donglai County, and further back

It merges into the East China Sea, so it is called Huishui. However, that place is low-lying, the river is fast, the river often changes its course, and floods occur frequently. Few people live in that area. It is a wasteland for hundreds of miles. That place,

It can accommodate many people temporarily, but the living environment there is probably very difficult."

However, fortunately, it is much better than what Qin Yue thought before, which was to directly drive all the people to Donglai County and leave them alone.

Since they are unified and concentrated there, they should be prepared to take care of them until the end of the war, so that their children and daughters will not be sold, and their wives and children will not be separated.

However, without investigation, she has no right to speak. These are just her guesses. She still has to go there and see with her own eyes what the specific situation is.

Facing Qin Yue's decision, Xiaoyu immediately nodded heavily and said: "Okay, let's go together."

Qin Yue originally planned to go there by herself to take a look, but when she saw Xiaoyu's determined eyes, she immediately understood that even if he didn't take her there, she would go there by herself. If so, she might as well follow him.

Go, this way, you can take care of her better along the way.

"good."

The two girls picked up the horses from the inn, and they rode together. Following the directions on the map, it took them three hours to arrive at Huishui Bend at noon.

"It is forbidden to move forward in the important military area ahead."

Qin Yue took out the inspection order and threw it over: "I am the inspector, let me go."

"Inspector? Hasn't the inspection system of the family been banned long ago?"

The soldiers blocking the road were surprised to receive the inspection order. When they saw the Qin clan emblem on it, they immediately cheered up. After activating it with magic power, they sensed the pure and rich dragon energy inside and immediately confirmed the identity of the other party.

He held the inspection order respectfully with both hands and returned it to Qin Yue, then waved his hand: "Let it go."

Qin Yue didn't waste any time getting the inspection order back, and immediately rode on horseback and passed the checkpoint.

The soldier immediately sent a message to the rear and reported the situation in detail.

On the horseback riding away, Xiaoyu looked at Qin Yue in surprise and said: "Inspector? What is that?"
