Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 136 Knowledge
Facing Yan Zhu's eager eyes, Liang Xiao didn't dare to draw conclusions easily.

When Li Guang explained the mission, he made it very clear that his mission was not to kill the enemy, but to protect the envoy.As long as Yan Zhuan is safe, everything else is easy to talk about, and making suggestions is not among his tasks.

What's more, Liu Ling told him that although there is no tiger charm, the emperor's intention is to suppress the rebellion.It seems impossible to suddenly become Fenghou to appease.Is Yan Zhu confused, or is there really a double choice, even Liu Ling doesn't know?

Liang Xiao thought about it nervously for a long time before he said carefully, "My lord, my master's opinion is actually not important. Judging from the fact that he was sent to the Yangtze River to carry out secret missions and Liu Ju's eyeliner is beside him, he is currently Liu Ju did not trust him."

Yan Zhu rolled his eyes, the light in his eyes dimmed a little, but his worry grew stronger.From the first time he saw Liu Ju, he knew that the situation he faced was far more difficult than he expected.Liu Ju would confront Huan Yuan face to face because of Ye Tianlong, Huan Yuan's status could not be high.Is he capable of keeping his word and keeping me safe?

"If it's a matter of fact, even if it's a lieutenant, as long as the fiefdom is suitable, my master may agree. Regardless of the final result, at least it can be delayed for a while. But for Liu Ju, it's hard to say whether he can agree. He has held hatred in his heart for more than ten years, and it is really difficult to judge whether he can let it go. My lord, can you untie this knot in his heart?"

The corner of Yan Zhu's mouth twitched slightly, thoughtfully.Hearing Liang Xiao's words, he remembered Liu Ju's embarrassment at that time, and suddenly became a little more confident.

Between living in Minyue and Fenghou, which one will Liu Ju choose?
"Okay, I have my own opinion. Be careful."

"Here." Liang Xiao and Wei Qing responded at the same time.

Wei Qing stayed in the tent, while Liang Xiao went out to replace Qin Ge.Hearing the sound of footsteps, Qin Ge glanced back, then glanced at the big tent, and said with a low laugh, "Are you scared, sir?"

Liang Xiao didn't say a word, he pulled Qin Ge for more than ten steps, and then said in a low voice, "Brother Qin, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Qin Ge laughed, but his eyes were a little cold. "The Son of Heaven mentioned the remnants of the Wu Kingdom many times. He always gnashed his teeth and never intended to appease him. How could he be a Marquis? This is the Lord's own idea. He asked your opinion because he was worried that one person would not be able to bear the responsibility of correcting the edict. I want to pull you on my back."

Liang Xiao gasped.This Yan Zhu is indeed insidious.Fortunately, I didn't talk about it just now, otherwise this matter would not be cleared up.Wei Qing and Qin Ge are close ministers of the emperor, and they often have the opportunity to defend themselves to the emperor.But he is a foreigner, if the emperor has any opinion on him because of this, he may not know why, and he will be reprimanded.

Surprised, Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing to himself.Yan Zhu, Yan Zhu, you have been so smart all your life in vain, I'm afraid you don't know that the relationship between me and the Son of Heaven is also very close.You're going too far for putting your mind on my head.

"Thank you, Brother Qin."

"It's nothing." Qin Ge turned his head and looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers, with disdain in his eyes. "Just relying on these short and skinny monkeys, how big a storm can be caused. If it weren't for our negligence for a while, and your master's tricks, only one general, three or five thousand elites, can wipe out Minyue. Why is this so necessary? Beg for perfection."

"I'm afraid not at all." Liang Xiao shook his head. "If it's a majestic formation, 5000 people may be enough, but if it's scattered into the mountains, 5000 people can't even catch a ghost. Don't look at these Manyue short and thin, but it's you and me who cross the mountains and ridges It can be reached. The terrain in the mountains is complicated, and there is miasma, and people who are not familiar with the situation go in, and the chance of survival is very small.”

"Miasma?" Qin Ge's face changed slightly.

"Different from the north, the south is humid and rainy, and there are many poisonous insects and snakes. It is impossible to defend against it. Even if the elites of all battles enter the mountains, they may be in a hurry. Once they are attacked, they are more likely to suffer disaster and collapse without fighting. Back then, 50 It is because of these reasons that the Qin army suffered heavy losses when they marched south."

Qin Ge frowned. "According to this, isn't there nothing we can do?"

"Of course not, did the Qin army finally conquer Nanyue?" Liang Xiao stared at the warships that were shuttled on the lake in the distance. "There are two ways to defeat Manyue. One is to avoid entanglement on the periphery, and use the momentum of thunder to attack the vital points, and the attack will surely save them. Taking their important city is tantamount to pinching their seven inches. Two. It is the immigrants who fill in the borders, move the educated people here, let them compete with the Yue people for farmland, gradually influence the Manyue, and force them to accept the education. Only in this way can there be long-term peace and stability.”

Qin Ge nodded repeatedly. "That's right. Although this method is nothing new, it is very effective. This is what Qin did in the development of the northwest frontier county."

Liang Xiao was speechless.He always thought it was his own original idea, but he didn't expect it to be an old trick of Qin State.Qin Ge is from Tianshui, the real old Qin. He should have a relatively direct feeling about the history of Qin's frontier development.

"Yes, this is indeed a practical solution." Liang Xiao smiled. "Combined with the current situation, there is another practical significance. The land annexation of the counties in the interior is serious, and countless people lose their land and cannot survive. Moving them to the extension of the border county will not only solve the problem of military strength and food in the border county, Opening up new sources of income can also alleviate the crisis in the mainland, buy more time, and prevent the situation from worsening."

"That's right." Qin Ge clapped his hands and praised: "This is indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Ah Xiao, I didn't expect that you are not only good at archery, but also good at economics. No wonder you can earn so much money when you first arrived in Chang'an .”

"Haha, economy is the foundation, politics is the superstructure." Liang Xiao laughed.

"It makes sense." Qin Ge seemed to understand, but he listened with gusto.He looked around and said in a low voice, "Ah Xiao, no wonder the emperor thinks highly of you, you are more knowledgeable than us. Have you really never read?"

"Uh... There are some truths, you don't have to read to know. Sometimes reading too much is not a good thing."

"It makes sense." Qin Ge clapped his hands and smiled. "Ah Xiao, I just like to listen to you talking, every word is in my heart. It's like I want to say it myself, but I can't say it, I just use your mouth to say it."

"Hahaha..." Liang Xiao also laughed.

"What are you laughing at, so happy?" Zhong Liqi walked over from a distance, followed by two young Yue people with bare upper body and tattoos all over. "You're so happy to be a prisoner, you really don't mean to be surprised."

Qin Ge got up in a hurry, pressed the long sword with his hand, eager to try. "Mr. Zhongli, try again?"

Zhong Liqi glanced at him, but ignored him. "Ah Xiao, the general wants to see you."

Liang Xiao quickly stood up. "Master, what's the matter with me?"

"I don't know." Zhong Liqi said impatiently: "You just follow along, I'm afraid the general will kill you. The general cares about you very much, more than his own eyeballs."

Liang Xiao was overjoyed.Turn around to enter the account, and ask Yan Zhu for instructions.Yan Zhu didn't stop him, but just told Liang Xiao to be more careful, try to get some news from Huan Yuan as much as possible, and prepare for the next negotiation.Liang Xiao agreed, turned around and left the tent, and followed Zhong Liqi down the hillside.
