Wu Qiu Jian took a look and was immediately frightened. Not only was he shocked by the difference between the map in Wei Ba's hand and the map in his impression, he also saw Wei Ba draw a circle in the map pointing to Yingzhou in Liaodong. He knew that there
It is Dongda County, Liaodong County, and it is a place across the sea from Yingzhou. Wei Ba drew a circle here, probably because he had to cut off the roots of Yingzhou first and then solve Yingzhou.
Da County is the most remote county in Liaodong County, more than a thousand miles away from Xiangping, and there is a mountain in the middle. If you march from the land, it is very difficult, but it is very easy to go from the sea. In other words, Wei Ba wants to attack Da County,
It was easier and easier for Gongsun Yuan to support Daxian. Considering that Wei Ba forced Liaodong people to fight outside Liaosui City, Wei Ba wanted to take Daxian, and Daxian was basically his.
Daxian is not a good road, but Daxian is the only way to connect Liaodong to Yingzhou. When Daxian is lost, Yingzhou across the sea and Liaodong will lose contact. Either surrender to Wei or Han, otherwise it will take a short time to use it.
It will collapse due to food shortage.
When Wei Ba conquered Liaodong, he was equivalent to cutting off the umbilical cord of Yingzhou. With a slight pinch, he grabbed the key points of Yingzhou.
This is what it means to take lightly. Wu Qiu Jian has to admire Wei Ba's vision and ruthlessness.
"Do you want to take Daxian?" Wu Qiucong pondered for a moment, tried his best to look disapproving, and shook his head: "A wise man will make a mistake in a thousand worries."
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows, took back the map, and laughed: "How can I see it?"
"Da County is surrounded by mountains and seas, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has a sparse population and is not enough to support soldiers, so it must transport food and grass. The reason why Gongsun Yuan did not give up on Da County was just because Yingzhou. If Da County was lost, Yingzhou would not be able to do so.
Quan, I think Xian and the Great Wei were Gongsun Yuan’s last choice. But what could the general get? There were many casualties and injuries, and only got a barren small county? It has a good reputation and limited profits. If Gongsun Yuan refuses to give up Yingzhou,
If you send troops to attack, you may eventually give up Daxian and gain nothing."
Wu Qiujian stomped the deck under his feet: "Although the warship is strong, you can't get to the shore. When can you guard Gongsun Yuan's infantry and cavalry?"
Wei Ba laughed: "Zhong Gong, are you really interested in discussing the war?"
Wu Qiu Jian felt a move in his heart and shrugged with a reserved look. He said that Daxian was just an introduction. He wanted to know more about Wei Ba's plans. Whether it could be spread or not, it would be good to interfere with Wei Ba's ideas.
"Come on. Let's talk about the war in Liaodong to see if you are really capable or have a reputation." Wei Ba turned around and walked towards the main cabin. Yu Si and Zhang Zhi looked at each other and rushed up.
Qiu Jianqiang was deliberately two steps behind according to the ecstasy in his heart. Then he walked over slowly. When he entered the cabin, Wei Ba was already sitting in the cabin. In front of him was a wide and long high-legged table, two
The young military strategist was pulling open the table and revealing an extremely huge map.
Wu Qiujian walked up to him and saw several familiar place names, and couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
This is a map including Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou. It is almost a quarter of the world.
"This map has just begun to be drawn, and there may be many inaccurate places." Wei Ba rubbed his hands and pointed at the upper right corner of the map: "This area is still empty at present, and it is expected that the preliminary surveying and mapping will be completed, at least
It will take five years, and maybe ten years can't be completed. However, for now, it doesn't matter there. It's Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. Do you think so?"
Wu Qiu Jian nodded silently. Wei Ba was honest. He couldn't get through even if he wanted to do it. This was a very clear trend. As long as people are not stupid, they can always see it.
"The Taihang here is Yanshan Mountain, and this is Changbai Mountain. Compared with these mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, Mount Tai is nothing." Wei Ba smiled: "Confucius climbed the East Mountain and the Small Lu, and climbed the Taishan Mountain and the Small World,
In fact, in my opinion, the world in his eyes is too small, not much bigger than Lu State.”
Wu Qiu Jian remembered the world in Wei Ba's mind. Compared with what he said, it was not only that Confucius' mind was too small, but everyone's mind was just a corner.
"I'm going to go far, or to say this map." Wei Ba drew a circle with his fingers: "There's a saying that you are right. No matter how big the warship is, it can't reach the shore. If you want to conquer Jizhou, you have to rely on steps in the end
Cavalry. However, if we don’t take Qingzhou, our Han Dynasty’s infantry and cavalry cannot go north to Jizhou. If we want to take Qingzhou, we must first take Yingzhou and Liaodong first. For the reason, we all know very well that I need the war horses from Liaodong.”
"You said I will take Da County and Gongsun Yuan will come." Wei Ba paused, raised his lips slightly, and said with sarcastic words: "Wu Qiu Zhonggong, tell me, are I afraid of Gongsun Yuan coming?"
Wu Qiujian stared at the map and bit his lips tightly. He regretted it a little. He shouldn't have been impulsive and wanted to inquire about Wei Ba's strategic plan. Now he got what he wanted, but he couldn't.
It would be even more painful to pass it to Luoyang, so it would be better not to know.
He understood the intention of Wei Ba's attack on Da County, and even Yingzhou was just a cover. All he had to do was to transfer Gongsun Yuan from Xiangping, let him leave his long-standing nest, and rushed to Da County to fight thousands of miles away.
.It is of course easier to fight against Gongsun Yuan in Daxian than to attack Xiangping. Once Gongsun Yuan is restrained in Daxian, Xiangping will be in danger.
In Wuqiu Jian's view, Gongsun Yuan's best way is to give up Da County and allow Wei Ba to attack Da County and survive. However, this is just a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. After Wei Ba successfully captured Da County, he and
He would not stop there. He would continue to eat Liaodong until he swallowed the entire Liaodong into his stomach, digest it like digesting Jiangdong, and then use the cavalry of Liaodong to turn around to attack Qingzhou, attack prefectures and Jizhou, and sweep across the entire Central Plains.
Wei Ba is like a snake. He has to swallow an elephant bite by bit and eat the entire Wei. It looks very arrogant, but when he thinks of the current situation, no one can say that he has no possibility of realizing it.
.It can even be said that his chances of success are quite high.
Wu Qiujian said in a hoarse voice: "Why do you tell me this?"
"Because I want you to understand the real trend of the world." Wei Ba rubbed his hands: "Wuqiu Jian, you are loyal to your emperor. I admire you very much. However, what I want to tell you is. Just take the current situation.
Look, the demise of Wei is inevitable. If you are really loyal to your Emperor, please persuade him to surrender. Now he still has the capital for negotiation and may retain the throne. In a few years, I will get it.
He won the Liaodong, Qingzhou, and Jizhou. He has no capital."
Wei Ba was silent for a moment and said, "Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, in the forty-five years, the world is deserted, the war will end one day soon, and the people will be peaceful one day soon, so we can still free up our hands.
Drive out. Wuqiu Jian, you are from Hedong. I believe you don’t like the horse hooves of the Huns to step into your home at any time, right? You have the ability to use troops, so why don’t you lead the elite infantry cavalry to protect your home from the slaughter of the Hu people
When fighting, you have to fight with your brothers. Kill each other and destroy the last trace of our Han civilization?"
Wu Qiu Jian was silent. He was moved by Wei Ba's last words. Hedong is the capital, but the Central Plains have been fighting for a long time, and Bingzhou has become a settlement for the Hu people. Their horse hooves may step into Hedong at any time.
It has threatened the heartland of the Central Plains. If the Han people in the Central Plains fight for a few more years, these Hu people will become more and more bold. They may even step into Luoyang and enter the Central Plains.
Cai Yan and Cai Guo, a talented woman of a generation, were kidnapped by the Huns in Hedong.
Both Wei and Han people are Han people, why do they kill each other and end up getting the Hu people? Shouldn’t the intelligence of Han people be used to resist foreign aggression? Shouldn’t they conquer a wider world as Wei Ba said? Shouldn’t we fight?
In his life, he made great achievements, but in the end he had to watch the Hu people's horse hooves step on our graves and turn our home into their pastures?
Wu Qiu Jian's face changed and his eyes were painful. If Wei Ba advised him to surrender, he might be indifferent, but Wei Ba hoped that he would use his talents to protect his home from the trampling of the Hu people, which hit his weakness at once.
It prevents him from staying indifferent anymore.
Wu Qiu Jian didn't know how he left the cabin. After a day and night of thought, he wrote a letter to Cao Rui.
...
"No!" Mrs. Xi said, blocking Cao Fu, who was excited to come, was speechless. Cao Fu was stunned for a while before saying, "Why? The price can be negotiated."
"No matter how high the price is, I can't sell horse armor to you." Mrs. Xi slowed down and said to Cao Fu helplessly: "You should know that horse armor is a powerful weapon for the country, and Han and Wei dynasties are hostile relations. How can we do this?
Sell horse armor to you?"
Cao Fu was anxious and raised his voice and said, "Then have you sold fire bombs before?"
"The reason why I sell fire bombs to you is that it is because fire bombs are disposable and will be gone after use. Horse armor is different. A set of horse armor can be used for at least two to three years. It is well maintained and used for five
It's normal for ten years. Secondly, the four of us, the father and son of the Wei family, are fighting with you. If I sell horse armor to you, wouldn't we put them in danger? If they have any damage, I will make a profit.
How can I face the ancestors of my Wei family?"
Cao Fu scratched his head. He rushed to Xiangyang to buy horse armor on the order of Cao Rui. He originally thought that this was an opportunity to make a fortune. Cao Rui knew the importance of horse armor to the current war, so he was very generous and gave a very large profit margin.
Fu calculated that if he bought a set of horse armor, he would get nearly 10,000 yuan in profits. Five thousand sets of horse armor, that would be five thousand gold.
Five thousand golds, it makes people feel moved when I think about it. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xi poured a basin of cold water on his head.
If you don't sell it, you won't sell any set.
What should I do?
Just when Cao Fu was helpless, Mrs. Xi said carelessly: "A weapon like Horse Armor can only be used to friends, not enemies. I think Cao can understand this principle and will not make things difficult for you.
Well, as long as your emperor is willing to give in and pay tribute like the King of Wu, he will be a family in the future. If your Wei Kingdom wants to fight the north and expel the Hu people, let alone five thousand sets of horse armor, even ten thousand sets of us will be
Don't hesitate to do anything."
Cao Fu's heart moved, thinking. He raised his head and looked at Mrs. Xi. Mrs. Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, there is one thing I want to ask you for help."
"Madam, you said."
"My uncle Pang Lin used to be an official in your Wei State. Now he wants to retire and return home. Yi Yang is old. I wonder if you can help you handle the relevant documents and make it easier."
Cao Fu smiled: "Madam, this matter is not difficult, it's covered by me."
