Age of mythical princes

Chapter 468 Why should I take care of the overall situation?
Within ten days, South Korea gathered a total of [-] troops based on the [-] quasi-prefecture-level Taoist soldiers in the country, by recruiting other doctors and Taoist priests and using elixirs to temporarily create a group of Taoist priests and doctors. If the time is taken, Extended to three months, South Korea can still produce another [-] quasi-prefecture-level Taoist soldiers.

However, Zhang Liang only felt that South Korea had lost its future!

South Korea's national strength is weak. The cost of deploying doctors and Taoist priests on such a large scale is to abandon other aspects of research and put everything on the army.

It is true that this method can be used to enhance strength and expand military strength in a short period of time, but the price is that the development of other industries in South Korea will stagnate.

Some Taoist priests, who were originally serious researchers, couldn't care so much at the moment and were directly recruited into the army.The combat effectiveness of this Taoist priest is definitely not as good as those who were carefully selected before. This Taoist priest went to the army and his original job was wasted.

But at the moment, South Korea cannot take such long-term care, because the first batch of [-] quasi-prefecture-level Taoist soldiers from Chu State has been assembled and is about to set off!

As for the Chu and Zheng coalition forces of Xiang Ji and Le Yi, totaling [-], they have successfully recovered the land originally occupied by South Korea, and have arrived at the South Korean border, ready to attack at any time.

In ten days at most, Chu's [-] quasi-prefecture-level Taoist soldiers will arrive at the front line from Yingdu.

Zhang Liang felt that everything he could say was clearly stated in his letter to Duke Chu, but Duke Chu didn't care about Zhang Liang's opinion!
Yingdu
In the palace, Duke Chu gave Zhang Liang's letter to Zeng Zi who was standing beside him.

Wang Jujun has three senior brothers. Wang Jujun is the senior brother, Zhu Zi is the second senior brother, and Zengzi is the third junior brother.

In the past, Zi was the name for the great sages at the level of real people, such as Guanzi and Yanzi.Nowadays, it is the honorific title that the world gives to the Three Great University Palaces and the great masters who were born in Yancheng.

The three brothers have all become great real people. This is very rare in other eras, but in this era, it is not something shocking or unacceptable.

Li Si and Zhang Liang were both senior brothers of Han Feizi, and the three of them were also Da Zhenren.

Sun En and Taiping Taoist are both like-minded people, and both of them are also great masters.

All I can say is that this era is really too dazzling!
"Look, this is a letter from Zhang Zifang. He said that he wants to let Gu take care of the overall situation and stop when he is ready to avoid this decisive battle, so as not to be taken advantage of by Yancheng in the end. What do you think?"

"This is telling the truth, it's all true."

Having said this, Zhu Zi took out a few copper coins and made a prediction: "Although the future is full of many possibilities, after the decisive battle, Yancheng sends troops to sweep across the world. Among countless possibilities, the most likely one is indeed Plant the future.”

"However, the future is never destined until it becomes a reality."

"If you believe too much in the so-called future, then Yancheng will not be what it is today."

"According to common sense, when the Dao Extermination Order was issued, Duke Yan might have already obtained the recognition of a destiny spiritual treasure or a top-grade spiritual treasure. Logically speaking, the most important thing Duke Yan should do at that time was to go to the Three Great University Palace in a low-key manner. Practice hard and wait until you become a real person or even a great real person, then go back and take revenge on the Chao Kingdom."

"With the strength of a real person or a real person, it would be easier to kill Uncle Chao than to kill a chicken!"

"But Yan Gong didn't. Yan Gong didn't believe in the so-called reasoning, the so-called future, man will conquer nature!"

"Yan Gong used his actions to tell the world what it means for man to conquer nature!"

Listening to this, Mr. Chu wanted to roll his eyes. Next time you praise Jiang Hua, can you watch the scene?
However, considering Zhu Zi's strength, no one would suggest Zhu Zi like this.

When you are strong enough, a group of people will praise you no matter what you say.Therefore, the world will not think that Zhu Zi has no emotional intelligence, but will only think that this is Zhu Zi's true temperament!

"So, my opinion is that Zhang Zifang is very smart, really smart."

"He does have amazing wisdom. Like me, I can only deduce the secrets of heaven and deduce the future by deducing the future. But he directly used his wisdom to deduce it. This is the gap between him and me. There is indeed a gap. He’s pretty big, I’m not as good as him in this aspect.”

"However, he is too smart, so such a smart person does not have resilience when doing things. He has formed a path dependence on his wisdom."

"Whenever he encounters something, his first reaction is to use his wisdom to analyze and deduce it."

"Most of the time, that's fine."

"But besides wisdom, there is also perseverance in this world!"

"Indeed, Yancheng is now ahead of Chu State in all aspects, except land area. And if Yancheng's sea area is also included, Chu State is not as big as Yancheng. After all, Yancheng today already occupies 30% of the coastline. The sea area within ten thousand miles.”

"But war is never a simple math problem!"

"If war was equal to mathematics, then it would be impossible for so many wars to break out. If the two hostile countries directly compare each other's data, the war would be over and the world would be peaceful. But in reality it is impossible!"

After Zhu Zi finished speaking his opinion, he fell silent.

Immediately, Zeng Zi began to analyze from a military perspective. Among the three brothers, Zeng Zi had the strongest military ability.

Starting from Lijun, the three brothers formed a clear division of labor.

Wang Jujun put forward the concepts and goals, and was responsible for leading other Confucian students to implement them.

Zhu Zi is responsible for researching theories, connecting theory with reality, and solving ideological problems encountered by Confucian students. He is mainly responsible for the ideological field, and is also responsible for teaching and educating people to cultivate the next generation of Confucian students.

As for Zengzi, he was in charge of military affairs.

"According to our information, South Korea has currently gathered 15 quasi-prefecture-level Taoist soldiers. After three months, South Korea will have [-] quasi-prefecture-level Taoist soldiers." "Wei State started recruiting troops ten days ago, and now it has We have [-] Wei soldiers. Eighty thousand Wei soldiers have arrived at the border of Wei and South Korea, and can go to the front line at any time. It is estimated that as soon as our [-] troops here move, Wei soldiers will also move."

"The State of Zhao has also prepared an army of [-] troops to march on the border."

"Ten days later, the Chu army will have 20 troops. The Han army will have 22 troops, the Wei army will have [-] troops, and the Zhao army will have [-] troops. This is [-] troops."

"Moreover, fighting on South Korea's mainland gives the other side an advantage."

"However, we have the status of a young master here. Although Zhao Kuo and Pang Juan are both top-notch generals in the world, they are still not as good as the status of a young master."

"However, what I am most worried about is Wu Guo."

"As for Yancheng, there is no point in worrying."

"No one knows whether Wu Guoguo will send troops to sneak attack the rear of the army at the critical moment."

"So, we must solve the problem of Wu State."

"It is very difficult to directly destroy Wu State, and it cannot be done in a short time."

"Therefore, I suggest that after these 20 troops set off, we can recruit another [-] troops to go to the border of Wu and Chu to intimidate the State of Wu. I suggest that the State of Wu send [-] troops to join us in the crusade against the Central Plains."

"If Wu is willing, then form an alliance and attack the Central Plains together. If Wu is not willing, then attack Wu directly!"

"However, Wu Guo should be willing. Even if Wu Guo is not willing, Yancheng will help make Wu Guo willing!"

Speaking of this, Zeng Zi felt a little depressed.

Zhu Zi is engaged in theoretical research and is responsible for ideological work, so no matter what situation he faces, Zhu Zi always remains optimistic.But Zengzi was in charge of the military, and he knew very well how powerful Yancheng was. Even if it was just the power shown on the surface of Yancheng, it was not something that Chu could touch.

Still the same sentence: The more a country enhances its national strength through reform, the more it can understand the power of Yancheng!
Seeing this, Duke Chu laughed and said, "Yes, Yancheng will definitely support Wu in sending troops."

"However, it's not like we have no chance of winning!"

Speaking of this, Duke Chu became full of pride: "Gu bet the future of Chu State on Ji'er!"

"I believe that if I agree to this decisive battle, Ji'er will definitely take this opportunity to become a saint!"

"In this decisive battle, our Chu State plus Wu State, betting on the fate of the country and everything, can at least gather an army of 60."

"Han, Zhao, Wei, plus Lu, Song and other countries, can almost assemble this many large counties."

"This will be a super battle with over a million earth-level Taoist soldiers from both sides. The scale of this battle will be even greater than the previous Battle of Makino. This battle will definitely produce a saint!"

When the word saint was mentioned, Duke Chu gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of Yancheng!
If Yancheng hadn't been too powerful, what would he have done?

"It's ridiculous that Zhang Liang thinks that he is the only smart person in the world and that he is the only one who can see this. How ridiculous!"

"With Yancheng's current development speed and Yancheng's current strength, if there is no real saint sitting in the country, why should they fight against Yancheng? There is no chance of fighting!"

"Zhang Liang thought that by uniting the princes, this war could be avoided, but why should the princes unite? Can it be done? Let Chu take care of the overall situation? Why? He deserves it?!"

"So, this battle must be fought! And we must win!"

"We, the Great Chu, must produce a true saint who belongs to our Great Chu!"

"Only in this way can we fight to the death with Yancheng and determine the ownership of the world!"

"So, this battle is not only a battle for Chu to take over the Central Plains, but also a battle to decide the ownership of the world!"

"But, aren't you worried that after the prince becomes a saint..."

"do not worry!"

"I understand Ji'er's character. He cannot take the position of Lord Chu."

No one will be convinced!

The nobles of Chu State had no objection to letting Xiang Ji serve as general.

If Xiang Ji is made the Duke of Chu, no one in the Chu Kingdom will obey him except the Xiang family!
"I will write a letter to Ji'er later, telling him that I have high hopes for him, and that the future of the entire Chu country rests on Ji'er!"

If Xiang Ji becomes a saint, then the Duke of Chu can continue to be the Duke of Chu in the future, but at most his power will be reduced.But after Xiang Ji ascended to the throne, the Duke of Chu was still the Duke of Chu.

But if Xiang Ji had not become a saint, then Chu would really have no future!
