Chapter 253 The world is the game, the princes are the chess
The sincere Cheng Ling and Wei Huang had a great conversation in the lobby of the Songyang Inn.
Wei Huang simply exchanged seats with Wang Wen, so he was close to Cheng Ling.
Although the two of them were sitting at a table each, the stools were next to each other, and they just said "whispering".
In addition to buying grain from the scholar-officials in Chen and Shu, Cheng Ling also had many bad ideas.
For example, on the issue of dealing with the northern Xinjiang five-hu-
This is a big problem. Although Emperor Wei said that he drove the Wuhu tribes out of the Central Plains, and made them retreat to the depths of the grasslands outside the customs, and called the Great Wei a subject in name, but everyone knew that this kind of surrender could not be long lasting.
You can see that he bows his head and listens to him today. One day, once Wei State reveals some flaws, the Wuhu tribes who are accustomed to looting the Central Plains will immediately show their fangs and start fighting again.
Even though the Wei Kingdom is strong and strong, there are no flaws for the time being. Now, from the northwest to the north, and then to the northeast, on the long border, don’t there still often occur various small-scale wars?
Oh, or that can't be called war, only various tentative, casual frictions.
Cheng Ling's destructive idea has the meaning of drawing wages from the bottom of the pot.
She said: "Let's find out, why do the Wuhu people always want to plunder the Central Plains? Is it just because they are greedy? This is just one aspect. More importantly, the Hu people live by water and grass, and there is no stable production. Ability, they lack food and food."
Emperor Wei nodded slightly, waiting for Cheng Ling's next words.
Cheng Lingdao: "If that's the case, why don't we open up the border market?"
Emperor Wei frowned and said, "Isn't the mutual market capitalizing on the enemy?"
Cheng Lingdao: "The mutual market is opened by our country, and freedom should be controlled by our country. In the mutual market, we only need to bring all kinds of extravagant but insignificant items in exchange for the cattle and sheep of the Hu people, especially sheep..."
"We exchanged our exquisite silk and porcelain for their cattle and sheep. The herdsmen raised a large number of sheep, but gave up raising horses, and lost their fighting spirit. For such a long time, this is called a soldier without a fight."
This is a bit interesting, but there are still many problems.
Wei Huangdao said: "Once the mutual market is opened, the Wuhu will not only have silk and porcelain, but also tea and grain. After the Hu people have obtained a large amount of tea and grain, they can train their troops when they are full. As time goes by, raising tigers afflicted."
is still the enemy of capital!
Speaking of this, a suffocating aura appeared in Emperor Wei's eyes when he looked at Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling only shook his head and said, "No, we don't buy horses, we only buy sheep. If we want war horses, we can only raise them ourselves. It should be noted that in this world, there will always be demand first, and then business. When we only buy sheep, we don't buy them. When there were horses, the herdsmen in the north gradually raised only sheep and no horses.”
Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows, Cheng Ling said, "Do you know, old gentleman, what is the biggest difference between sheep and horses?"
"Sheep can only be eaten, horses..." Emperor Wei stopped talking, horses are weapons of war, would herdsmen give up raising horses?
Cheng Ling sighed: "Sheep, they eat grass roots."
Emperor Wei looked at Cheng Ling and was puzzled for a moment. But soon, one of the chapters of the "Nongsang Chronicle" that he had read before flashed in his mind: Maintain soil and water!
The sheep gnawed at the grass roots, what would happen after that?
…
Wei Huang took a light breath, and suddenly felt a sweat behind him, as if he was about to burst out.
No wonder the people in front of you say that this is a bad move, and sure enough, it can’t be said to be harmless!
Emperor Wei suppressed the boiling excitement in his heart, but said solemnly: "However, although buying sheep in the mutual market is wonderful, it is a long-term plan, and it cannot be achieved overnight. If you want to go south now, just opening the mutual market is not enough. ."
Cheng Ling said: "Then what if we send a few messengers to go to the grasslands quietly, lobby the leaders of each tribe separately, and secretly prompt them to launch a war of unification?"
The leaders of each tribe wanted to unify the grasslands, and behind each leader there was a "supporter". As a result, the tribes naturally formed a state of war and confrontation. How could there be time to manage whether the Wei State wanted to go south?
Wait until the Wuhu tribes reacted. By that time, the Wei kingdom would have already unified the north and the south, and the general situation has already been achieved, so why worry about minor border troubles?
Therefore, this is a loss-making move and a loss-making move, a chain plan.
Joint vertical and horizontal, far and near attack, the world is the game, and the princes are the chess.
When Emperor Wei heard this, he could not help laughing three times on the spot, and then he became a big white.
The more excited he became, the more numerous thoughts came to his mind, but he couldn't help but say, "What if the grassland tribes are truly unified?"
This is just a casual question, but in fact, Emperor Wei believed that at this stage, it was impossible for the Wuhu tribes to be unified.
has reached this stage, how could he make them unify?
There are thousands of thoughts in Emperor Wei's heart, and he has already started to simulate in his mind. If he wants to send people to Wuhu, who should be sent, how many people should be sent in total, how to arrange it specifically, how bright or dark, after a dispute is provoked How to take over the follow-up and so on.
He was a monarch who was very good at conquest, and some things just lacked an introduction. Now someone has opened up the direction, and Cheng Ling does not need to continue to say more.
He heard Cheng Ling sigh and say, "What if it's unification? Wouldn't it be good to turn Hu into Han? It's a pity..."
She said leisurely: "All these imaginations are just imaginations. Xiaoke is a white person, a countryman, and he talks about state affairs. sin, so I just said a few nonsense."
Having said that, Cheng Ling also bowed his hands in the direction of the imperial city.
smiled at Wei Huang again: "The old gentleman doesn't have to take his late birth seriously. It's okay to talk about military affairs on paper. Xiao Ke said that he was happy, and it made the Fang family laugh, but I'm ashamed."
Emperor Wei:…
No, on paper, not everyone can!
But at this moment, his enthusiasm and fiery passion were like being splashed with cold water. After the water was splashed, the hot heart was smoking.
The Emperor Wei looked at Cheng Ling, and the emperor's suspicions swelled up: Could it be that this person actually knew my identity, so he told all these wonderful plans?
On the other hand, he asked Cheng Ling with a deep meaning: "Xiao Langjun is really too humble! Talking about soldiers on paper? Nonsense? Younger generation, do you really judge yourself like this?"
Whoever dared to say that Cheng Ling's words were worthless, Emperor Wei was the first to drag him out to fight!
Cheng Ling smiled again, this smile was very in line with her age, showing the shyness of a teenager: "Actually... let's not hide the old gentleman, the younger generation also thinks that what he said makes sense, but he is humble and not a gentleman. the way?"
Good guy! It was her, and it was her!
Wei Huang snorted: "Then you think that what you said is reasonable, why do you still tell strangers such a wonderful plan? You are not afraid, someone will turn around and find a way to convey the truth, so as to improve the situation. Body, take your credit?"
