It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 85 Handing the Knife (Please collect and read more!)

"General Zhao"

Xiao Yuan often moved the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes wandered, he hesitated to speak:

"General Zhao was ordered by His Majesty to lead troops in Qiongzhou to search for the eyes and ears of the Donghu people, and they have achieved a lot."

Liu Ke nodded. It was Zhao Ning who was more suitable for catching spies. If he lost his way after taking a walk, he might be able to find a few hidden in the deep mountains and old forests.

But Xiao Yuanchang still had a bitter face and said:
"Half a month ago, General Zhao sent someone to report that Donghu people had been found sneaking into the dense forest and went to destroy them."

Liu Ke couldn't help laughing, life is like a lost Zhao Ning, you never know what he will bring the next moment.

"That means there's been no news of Ziyi for half a month, so let's not mention him. If he doesn't get anything when he returns, his salary will be deducted!"

Xiao Yuanchang shook his head, he had never seen such a general, people disappeared as he walked.

That is to say, after Zhao Ning was lost, he was really able to make meritorious service, and now His Majesty treats others tolerantly, withholding salary and giving small punishments.

After all the civil and military personnel returned to Qiongzhou City, the dust settled.

After Liu Ke took a short rest for three days, he got the news that the Pu Liuru Department had mobilized all the ships and Chen Bing was at sea.

For a while, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, and people were moved.

Only after seeing Pu Liuru's warships waving their banners and sailing to cover the sky and sun, did they know that the hundreds of old-fashioned ships brought back by the emperor were of no use at all.

Liu Ke didn't care about resting anymore, so he summoned He Kun to accompany him, and went to see Jia Wuji in the prison together.

Under the dim candlelight, Jia Wuji was sitting on the straw mat in the cell.

There was a chessboard in front of him, but no black and white chess pieces were left. He just rested his chin on one hand and patted the straw mat with the other, appearing calm and calm.

It seems that the turmoil inside and outside the court has nothing to do with him, and he is enjoying the unique peace in prison.

"Mister, I'm here to ask advice."

Liu Ke didn't dislike the environment of the prison, so he went straight to sit down opposite Jia Wuji.

He Kun was standing by the side, he didn't dare to sit down, no matter if it was the emperor or Jia Wuji, he was terrified in his heart.

Needless to say, the emperor's prestige was obtained by the lives of the Donghu people, and Jia Wuji's bloody hands were also copied from his home.

He Kun couldn't help thinking back to these days, when he approached the aristocratic family to redeem people with money, others saw that it was him, not Jia Wuji, who was relieved.

Those are all patriarchs and elders of a wealthy family, which one has never seen the market?Which one didn't come to power because of intrigue and intrigue among the clan?
To be intimidated by Jia Wuji to such an extent!

He Kun lowered his head, not daring to say more, but just winked at the guarding jailer a few times to make him back down.

Only then did Jia Wuji say:

"It seems that the Donghu people should have mobilized their ships and want to blockade Qiongzhou."

"If you want to take the initiative, a big man must have the strength to fight at sea."

"Sun Zhi'en, the great pirate of the South China Sea, has [-] pirates in his hands and nearly a hundred ships. He also has enmity with the Donghu people, so he can lure them to help him."

Training sailors is much more difficult than training infantry.

Naval combat must be familiar with the waters to ensure that they can drive warships in all kinds of waters, even if there are winds and waves, they must drive steadily.

You must also master the necessary hydrological and astronomical knowledge, be good at identifying azimuths, calculate voyages, and be familiar with waterways.

Moreover, the discipline must be extremely strict, because water warfare is more complicated than land warfare, and the division of labor is more detailed.

Get it wrong and it can cause confusion.

The most basic thing is to know water and have good water properties, so it goes without saying.

With such a large number of prerequisites, without three to five years, it is impossible to train a qualified navy.

Therefore, Jia Wuji's way to enrich the strength of the big man's water is to attract foreign aid, instead of spending time and effort to practice by himself.

Liu Ke is different, he is not a navy trainer, but a pirate, so it took more than half a month to train [-] Han soldiers into useful pirates, and in turn he robbed Sun Zhien.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at He Kun who was still bowing his head, listening carefully to everything, and said:

"When the Donghu people mobilized their ships, I had already personally gone to sea and subdued the pirates in the South China Sea."

Jia Wuji looked like he hadn't thought about it, and bowed again and again:
"Your Majesty is wise! In this way, we have a soldier who can fight on the water!"

At the same time, he showed a little worried look, and there were a few more grooves on his old wrinkled face:
"Just having soldiers is not enough to fight Donghu."

"Donghupu Liuru has built a large number of ships. Even if there are pirate ships, they are definitely not comparable to serious warships."

"What's Jia Qing's plan?"

"There are many ships in Yizhou, and there are many trees in Cochin, and they are all Han states, which can be cited as foreign aid."

Yizhou can take ships directly, and Jiaozhi can build ships, both of which are good ways.

Liu Ke glanced at He Kun again, seeing that He Kun's eyebrows became more submissive, and said:
"Yizhou also belongs to the Han Dynasty. Now I have hundreds of ships and nearly [-] sailors in my hands."

"Oh?"

Jia Wuji's eyes, which had been slightly closed all the time, couldn't help but widen a little, and the expression on his dull face became richer:

"In this way, it is natural to fight Donghu!"

Liu Ke clenched his fist, hammered heavily on the chessboard, and made a bang:
"Why don't I want to?!"

"The Donghu people want to blockade the sea area of ​​Qiongzhou, so I will bleed and drift in this sea, and make a way out of the dead end!"

Then he looked at Jia Wuji angrily, and said:
"It's just that the Donghu people are powerful, and the people in the imperial court are eager to move, and they are struggling. How can I win?"

Jia Wuji straightened out his thoughts. After these words, the emperor really wanted to ask:

"The Donghu people are powerful, so they must use their power to intimidate them first, and Zhang Huaiyang is safe. Now that Qiongzhou has been lost, he will not seek war easily."

"If the minister's guess is correct, within a few days, the Donghu people will definitely send a letter of reconciliation to sway the courtiers."

"The Han Dynasty already has a state, and there are not a few people in the court who are greedy for comfort."

"They have wives and children, and they have families behind them. They are fighting Donghu. Their safety cannot be guaranteed, and they need to consume a lot of money and food."

"Therefore, only this peace negotiation letter is needed to make those people feel war-weary."

Liu Ke rolled his eyes and frowned slightly. It was indeed a troublesome matter.

When only Qiongzhou City was left, they had nothing and could fight with their backs.

Occupying the entire Qiongzhou, but with a certain amount of capital, there are naturally not many people who are willing to give up everything and fight Donghu to the death.

Moreover, the gap between the Dahan Navy and the Donghu Navy is on the bright side, as long as you are not blind, you can see it.

"What if I must fight?"

Jia Wuji said: "Then you have to kill, the head will roll, and the blood will flow like a river."

"In this way, we can stabilize the government and the opposition."

Liu Ke said sternly: "Then kill!"

He Kun, who stood by the side, couldn't help shivering.

He wouldn't believe what other people said about it. In the huge Qiongzhou and the intricate court, how could it be said that killing could be easily killed?
But it was the emperor and Jia Wuji who discussed this matter, so he really had to believe it.

One dared to hand the knife, and the other dared to cut.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this move is too radical. Qiongzhou is tentatively settled, and it has not yet won people's hearts. It is easy to lose people's hearts by acting like this!"

He Kun was indeed thinking of the imperial court. Although killing people indiscriminately can be stable for a while, it is easy to cut himself off from the world.

Liu Ke suppressed the anger on his face and said calmly:

"If you don't want blood to flow like a river, then you have to ask He Qing to take a look at the attitude of the important officials of the imperial family."

He Kun is a smart man, although there is no information in the prison, but with Jia Wuji's ability, he can deduce the development of the situation completely, without the need for the emperor to repeat it.

Such an attitude, and all the things just now, are all for him to see, showing the emperor's resolute attitude towards the main battle.

The emperor went to sea on purpose, going to great lengths to fight the Donghu people for the sake of the navy, but you dare not fight?
The emperor used two people to deal with the family.

One is Jia Wuji, who holds a knife and kills him.

The other is He Kun, who builds the bridge and manages communication.

Now Jia Wuji is in prison and He Kun is on the bright side, but if communication fails, then He Kun is in prison and Jia Wuji has taken the knife.

"The minister saves, the minister saves."

He Kun responded again and again, the He family in Beipu had a great career, and seeing how powerful the Donghu navy was, naturally he would not take the lead in the battle.

He can only make money by being friendly and ensuring the stability of a state.

But now that the emperor is doing this, he is forcing him to stand in line, forcing him to let other important officials of the aristocratic family also stand in line.

Jia Wuji didn't take He Kun's statement seriously, the old god was there, and said:
"The Puliuru navy is exhausted from a long distance, and they are not familiar with the waters of Qiongzhou. It is a big taboo to say that at the end of a strong crossbow, you can't penetrate Lujin."

"Puliulu Rama had a wise strategy. He sent troops to the sea to intimidate the courtiers and cause turmoil in the court."

"But it might not be an opportunity."

"If Your Majesty can resolve the issue between the court and the central government, the court and the public will be able to find an opportunity to break it in one fell swoop."

Liu Ke nodded, knowing it in his heart.

The next point is to deal with the strange voice in the court and see how far He Kun can communicate.

If He Kun doesn't communicate well and doesn't cherish the opportunity, then he can only fill the treasury with tears.

The situation developed as Jia Wuji expected.

As soon as Liu Ke came out of the prison, a letter from Donghu to discuss peace arrived.
