Chapter 51 Where is Gu’s military strategy?

The envoys who returned to various countries from the Jiuwei Mountain of Yong State brought back two pieces of news.

First, Yong State has lost its queen, and the person Qi State sent to Yong State to get married turned out to be Jiang, the daughter of the clan.Zhao Zheng became angry and drove Mrs. Jiang away, preparing to marry again.

The second is that this Jiang family is the successor of Sun Wu. It was rumored that her father Jiang Anqing died in Luoyang City while on a mission to Wei State while carrying secret military records.But it turned out that he was not dead, and Jiang was not allowed to marry into the Yong Kingdom.

Although these two pieces of news both revolved around Jiang He, various countries considered the first piece of news irrelevant.

But the second news shocked the imperial courts of various countries.

The military secrets are in the Wei State!
The military secrets are in Luoyang!
There are five countries bordering Wei.

South Korea is weak, and now it is only focusing on Yong Guo's canal construction.

Although they were envious of the secret records of military strategists, they did not dare to covet them.

Han An, the king of South Korea, has received the news that Yong Guo mobilized 10 people to build canals, leaving only [-] guards and [-] lieutenants in the north.

In order to provide these 10 people with land reclamation tools and water diversion tools, the engineers who originally forged weapons had to work day and night to make iron tools for building canals.

These 10 people still need to be clothed and fed, but there is not much food stored near Kyoto in the Yong Kingdom.In order for the people to have enough to eat, the military depot could only be opened to release grain.How to fight if the food and grass are gone?

As Wei Ji said, a canal can make Yong tired.

The Zhao State to the north of the Wei State was watching with eager eyes and wished to go south immediately.

The king of Zhao immediately sent an envoy to Luoyang to see Jiang Anqing to find out more.Look at what he has done in Wei over the years and why he betrayed his mother country Qi.

The king of Zhao State waved his broad sleeves and said: "Even if you can't get it, you still have to muddy the water so that Yong State and Qi State can't even dream of getting it!"

As for the Chu State to the south of Wei State, it was full of confidence that it would win.

The king of Chu turned his questioning eyes to his son Mi Fuchu who was sitting on his knees.

The young master was eating tea with his cud in his hands. When he saw his father looking at him, he slowly put down the tea and smiled respectfully.

The son who was valued by the king of Chu State was more than twenty years old. He was tall and powerful, with round eyes and a high nose, and an extraordinary air. He was quite special among a group of Chu people who regarded thinness as their beauty.

He doesn't speak quickly and uses rough words, but he is confident and powerful.

"Father, don't worry. Over the years, I have spent a lot of money to bribe the officials of Wei State, and I have got some information. Jiang Anqing is not treated well in Wei State. The king of Wei State is dim-witted and can't do anything well. Jiang Anqing didn't say a word. , was tortured to the point where life would be worse than death. Now that my daughter goes back, it would be strange not to be so angry that she would die."

The king of Chu State glanced sideways, then looked at General Xiang Yan.

As the most skilled general in Chu State, Xiang Yan is the king's most valued right-hand man.

Whenever war is involved, the king will definitely ask for his opinion.

Xiang Yan, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an upright attitude, saw the monarch asking questions, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I come from a family of soldiers and generals, and I have a basic understanding of the importance of military art. If you are lucky enough to see the essence of a military strategist, you will die without regrets!"

"Don't worry, General Xiang!" The young master laughed loudly and stood up, raised his hand, patted the sword on his waist, and said calmly, "I just want to meet the old people in the Wei Kingdom, and I want to get to know the one raised by Jiang Anqing. Daughter. I’m going to get the military secret book for you.”

"It's reckless to bear the cud!" the king of Chu frowned and stopped him.

The young master was holding the cud but said with a smile: "Father, I think that the art of war may not be in the hands of Jiang Anqing, but in the hands of his daughter."

He was as thorough as he was in doing things, and his eyes were bright and bright, like two lamps lighting up the world.

Now the young master is carrying the cud and is sure that the military secrets are in Jiang He's hands. He doesn't want to wait for a moment and will go north.

But the chamberlain who suddenly stepped into the palace door to report brought even more shocking news.

"Your Majesty," the chamberlain held two scrolls of bamboo slips and knelt down and said, "Princess Jiang He of Qi State Anguo has received a secret message."

Although she is a woman, Jiang He's calligraphy is like iron painting with silver hooks, and her writing is extremely powerful.

The long bamboo slips were unfolded. The king of Chu frowned and looked carefully. After reading only a few words, he raised his hand and called: "Xiang Qing, come quickly!"

Xiang Yan stood up and walked over quickly after hearing the order. The king held his arm and almost pressed his head on the bamboo slip.

"Look! Is this the military secret book?"

Xiang Yan immediately knelt down and sat down. He glanced at a few columns of words and was stunned. He raised his head in disbelief and said, "It's true. How could she be willing to send it!"

The king of Chu was immediately overjoyed. He smiled and touched his palms, and couldn't help but ridicule the young master who was standing at the gate of the palace.

"Look! You don't need to beg for this. It was delivered to your door on its own initiative."

"How can such a good thing happen?" The young master strode over with his face reddened, and went straight to read the last few words on the second volume of bamboo slips.

Xiang Yan was also looking there.

In the main hall, there was no time to chew carefully, but Xiang Yan was very excited when he saw ten lines.His eyes collided with the young master's eyes, and they looked at each other after reading the last line of the secret volume.

"The Chu State has strong soldiers and horses, and is said to have millions of armors. The territory is vast and the people can't be conquered in one day. But the so-called soldiers are very fast. If the Yong State goes south from Pingyu and the light cavalry goes straight to Shouchun, the capital of the country, how many days will it take?"

The secret volume of military strategists ends here.The full text is eloquent and has thousands of words. It writes about concealing the truth and crossing the sea when marching, and using swords to kill people; it writes about how to take advantage of the situation to cross Chencang secretly, and how to alert the snake to investigate and then take action; it writes about the number of cavalrymen in Yong State, the biggest enemy of Chu State, and how remarkable its achievements are. He wrote about how Yong State would fight if it went south to invade Chu State.But it just stopped at a critical point and broke!

"How is this going?"

In his desperation, Xiang Yan forgot the etiquette in the hall that prohibited making noise. He turned over the bamboo slip in a hurry, but there was nothing on the back.

But the young master smiled clearly.

"I knew it wouldn't be so cheap!" He turned to look north.

Although he had never met the woman, his interest in her suddenly increased.If the Chu State had such a woman, they would definitely send their troops north to catch the six kingdoms off guard and achieve the great cause of unifying the world!
"Tell me!" He looked at the chamberlain who came to deliver the secret volume, "What does Princess An Guo want me to do with Da Chu in exchange for the second half of the secret volume?"

There was only three or five days between them, and Zhao Guo, who had not yet set off for the mission, was also ecstatic after seeing the secret volume for the first time and became angry from shame.

In the secret scroll, it is written how to borrow corpses to bring back souls, and how to use those who cannot be used; it is written about how to lure tigers away from the mountains, and how to use the sky to trap people; it is written about how to make friends from far away and attack close, take advantage from near and use harm from far away; it is written about how to capture swallows from the north. When the country invaded Wei from the south, it was like cutting off all life, and there was not a single word left.

At the end of the secret volume received by the Yan State, Jiang He did not hesitate to betray his home country of Qi, and told half of what Qi's navy was most afraid of. As for South Korea, Jiang He did not neglect, and wrote two volumes of simple truths in detail, and finally asked: " Hangu Pass is located to the east of Yong's breakthrough. How can the king sleep peacefully? Don't you know that it won't take long for Han Canal to be repaired? "

Han An, the king of South Korea, who was enjoying the singing and dancing with great interest and living one day at a time, became anxious on the spot.

In the secret volume sent to his home country of Qi, Jiang He's tone was quite respectful.

There is no obvious break point, only at the end it is written that in order to seize the secret scroll, the Wei State imprisoned his father Jiang Anqing, and tortured him until he lost his mind. He lamented: "Seeing my biological father like this, I wish I could die together, and I have countless plans in my heart. It’s hard to put pen to paper.”

"You can't die, you can't die!"

Jiang Ben, who had just returned to Qi State and was still hot from sitting, hurriedly put away the secret scroll written by Jiang He, and knelt down in front of the king of Qi State, sweating profusely.

"We can't let my sister die." He wailed.

Jiang He, who claimed that he wanted to die, ate a cage of steamed buns and two bowls of rice wine and egg drop soup that night.

Ever since she met her father, she would go and deliver him a meal every day.Today, his father didn't scold him after eating, and his face finally had some color. Jiang He was in a good mood.

But Zongjun, who usually lives calmly, seems to be a little busy.

Finally, when Zong Jun passed the front hall door again but did not come in, Jiang He called him.

"What happened?"

She stood by the door, her red dress under the setting sun like clouds dyed by the sunset.

"Someone is here to buy food." Zongjun carefully entered the house and lowered his head.

"Buy one hundred cars in one hand?" Jiang He said with a smile, "That's a good thing! Don't worry about who the other party is, just to show your sincerity, you have to sell it."

Because grain is sold out of the city and collected in the city, as long as you buy it from outside the city, store it wherever you want, and tell the Zongjun the address, you can earn a high price difference. Therefore, the official responsible for buying military ration has already gone out to buy it once in the past few days. Jiang He took the opportunity to sell grain at a price of [-] carts per lot, and to collect grain at a price of [-] carts per lot.The officials bought fifty carts and went back to check the quality of the grain and grass. They were just testing it and did not sell it.

Jiang He said that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. The king of Wei was greedy and the ministers were not much better.The officials who buy grain will eventually become so greedy that they can't bear it anymore. Zongjun can just wait.

After this incident, Jiang He also wanted to help Wei Ji find out and punish a wave of corrupt people in the government and the public, and restore clarity to the government and the public in Wei.

After all, she is likely to stay here, and she still hopes that there will be less resistance to doing things in the future.

Hearing what Jiang He said, Zongjun scratched his head and had to admit it with great reluctance: "Your Highness, the one who bought the grain is Su Yu."

Su Yu, Zhao Zheng's confidant, Su Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Weiwei Army.

Now that Zhao Zheng is not in Kyoto, Su Yu will always follow and protect him.

Su Yu is here, where is Zhao Zheng?

The king of a country actually left the country and sneaked into the enemy's country to buy food?If that were the case, he, the king, wouldn’t have to do anything!

Jiang He looked outside the courtyard with some annoyance. Beside the corner gate, Zongjun had already prepared a carriage.

When the carriage left the city, Zongjun drove it himself, walking slowly and quickly.

Ten miles outside the city, the carriage stopped in front of a tea shed.Zongjun called the tea seller to bring him a bowl of tea and drank it all. As he was going forward, he heard the quarrel between the two people in the carriage behind him.

"How dare you come?"

"Where is Gu's military book?"

"You don't want to live anymore?"

"Do you dare to call someone to catch the orphan?"

"Zhao Zheng, I have told Wei Ji that you are here."

Zongjun shuddered, suddenly nostalgic for the days of simple drug testing.
