Chapter 418 Cen Xiu's Strategy
In the official hall——
"Ji Zhun, if you don't want to think about it, you will be born with martial arts, but it's not slow to enter the country." Su Zhao said with a smile.
Ji Zhun clasped his fists, excited, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to the cultivation of the emperor, I was lucky enough to enter the innate realm not long ago." As soon as Ji Zhun said this, the other generals also looked at Su Zhao with joy.
When Su Zhao looked around, he was not only emotional.
Thinking back to when he first took over the position, the powerful ministers were brave and domineering, and his soldiers were few and there were no generals or soldiers. However, it has been less than a year now, full-fledged, even the deputy of the first army commanding three thousand soldiers Control is all innate generals.
Put away these emotions in your heart.
At this time, I saw Li Huanzhang, one of the generals, moving his lips, hesitant to speak, but behind him, Miao Xian, who was so serious, pulled his shirt.
Su Zhao smiled: "General Li, do you have something to say?"
Li Huanzhang was young and had a beautiful face. He was good at wielding long spears. He liked to wear white robes and ride white horses.
Shentu Fan commanded a light cavalry force of 5000 men. Because he came and went without a trace, he used Feiling as his army name. However, Shentu Fan's trip was the only one of the remaining cavalry troops to form a cavalry army.
Although Li Huanzhang's face was handsome, but his eyes were sharp, he said: "Back to the Lord, Privy Councilor Shentu sent troops to attack Jin, leaving thousands of fine cavalry in the county, the general is really aggrieved and panicked."
Su Zhao said with a smile: "The battle with Jin was mostly a stalemate in offense and defense, cavalry may not be of much use, and Shen Tuqing prepares a mobile light cavalry, which also intends to connect the counties. There are many opportunities to make achievements, so there is no rush. "
At this moment, the three counties of Lijun, Huailai, and Lianyang are not counted as county soldiers. The front-line imperial army of Su State still has 2 troops, a total of six armies.
This force is enough to stabilize Xinxia's territory.
Apparently, before Shentu Fan sent troops, he also considered being stabbed by the side of Weiguo, making some drama to recover the lost ground.
At this time, Cen Xiu took over the conversation and reprimanded Li Huanzhang: "Private Shentu has his own calculations, so how can you let yourself do what you want?"
Li Huanzhang looked embarrassed, and retreated resentfully. He obviously respected and feared Cen Xiu, who was in charge of military intelligence, respected his ability, and feared his strictness.
Cen Xiu cupped his hands at Su Zhao, and said, "Your Majesty, the people below have prepared a banquet for washing the dust in the restaurant in the city."
As soon as this remark came out, the civil servants who had been waiting at the side also echoed one after another.
Su Zhao waved his hand and said, "Let's not worry about this, can all the troops entering the city be settled properly?"
Cen Xiu secretly praised him, he was really the famous hero of Yingrui, and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers have been settled in the barracks by the county officials. This barracks was built before, and it can accommodate 20 soldiers. It won't disturb the people, after Privy Councilor Shentu went there, it was completely empty, more than enough to accommodate the military academy."
Su Zhao said with a smile: "Gu has forgotten, this is the good governance that Cen Qing implemented not long ago."
Speaking of which, after Cen Xiu supervised Lianyang County, he proposed Shentu Fan to build it.
At that time, the three counties were new, and the people were suspicious, and they regarded the Soviet soldiers as the enemy's strong army.
At that time, Cen Xiu suggested that Tu Fan should be sent to send troops to be stationed in various counties. Among them, Miao Xian, who joined the army with justice, supervised the patrol and punished lawbreakers. To repair official roads and build city weirs.
All of a sudden, in this troubled time where soldiers passed like combs and bandits passed like a grate, the people of the three counties had a good impression of the soldiers of the Su State, and the people of the three counties cheered for hiring civilians with money and food instead of indiscriminate labor.
You must know that the government exorbitantly imposes miscellaneous taxes and builds public facilities. It has always been indiscriminate in corvée, and the people suffer unspeakably.
However, it was the first time that the government hired people with money and food.
How can the people of the three counties not be happy and grateful to be able to get a salary to subsidize the family during the slack season?
And Cen Xiu is well versed in the principle that soldiers cannot be idle, so he assigned various troops to police and arrest robbers.
Su Zhao looked at Cen Xiu, at that time, he agreed to Shentu Fan's request to let this person pretend to be the governor of Lianyang County, and govern Lianyang, in fact, he saw the right person.
I don't want this person not only to act as a secret, but also to be a military counselor with unique features. In terms of sorting out internal affairs, he is also well-organized and quite organized.
Su Zhao nodded, and said with a loud smile: "Let's clean up the banquet at night. You are all tired all morning, so go eat and rest first. Cen Qing, let's go to Lianyang County alone."
Cen Xiu had no choice but to agree.
The two monarchs and ministers then went out of the county government office, brought three or five entourages, and changed into casual clothes. It was already afternoon, on the bluestone streets with all the snow cleared, there were many pedestrians coming and going, and the shops were bustling with people. The common people live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't see the panic and fear after "changing the king's banner at the top of the city".
Su Zhao nodded secretly, and then inspected the city walls, grain warehouses, and ordnance stores, and then Su Zhao rode a maroon horse, out of the inner city of the county, and inspected the barracks.
Just in the south of the city, west of the city, and north of the city, there are rows of houses with green walls and red tiles.
Outside the barracks, there are groups of soldiers patrolling and guarding. Even in winter, there are occasional sounds of drills, resounding through the field.
Su Zhao said with emotion: "What I can see with my lonely eyes is that the common people are at peace, and there is no doubt that they are fearful and resentful. The camps in the army look like they are arranged with strict rules and regulations. This is all thanks to Cen Qing."
Cen Xiu said: "This is not the work of the minister alone."
Su Zhao smiled and didn't continue to say more, but instead asked: "In Cen Qing's opinion, Chen Qiangbing of the Jin Kingdom is in the north, how can our country win the Jin and seize the guard?"
This is a bit of a policy question.
Cen Xiu was on top of the steed, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, now that all parties in the Wei Kingdom are vying for the throne, they are disturbing each other. If Your Majesty wants to go down to the Wei and refuse to advance, the key is to wait for change." .”
"Oh?" Su Zhao couldn't help being a little interested. Whether it was the discussion with Feng Kuang before, or the correspondence with Shen Tufan, the agreed strategy for defending the country basically followed the meaning of the alliance to resist the Jin Dynasty.
It can be said that this is already the best strategy under brainstorming by the top think tanks of the upper echelons of the Soviet Union.
However, Cen Xiu seemed to have other thoughts, Su Zhao said, "Cen Qing please speak more carefully."
Cen Xiu said: "Jin, a country of ten thousand vehicles, is powerful and powerful. It should be the hegemon of the Kyushu. It is far from being able to compete with the power of a single country. However, Jin is troubled by domestic and foreign troubles. If you can't pour the country out, you will certainly not be able to compete for full power."
Su Zhao nodded when he heard the words, "The more than [-] forbidden troops are far from the power of the state of Jin."
Cen Xiu said: "Outside Jin, the remnants of the dog army harass the border counties, and inside there are Yidu and Quwo Xiaozong. The disaster of Xiaoqiang is hidden. Although Jin Jun has the heart to fight for hegemony, there are many obstacles."
Su Zhao pondered for a moment, and said, "But these...after all, far away water can't quench the near thirst."
Cen Xiu said: "Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty has noticed Qin? There have been rumors recently in Qin that he is the son of Quwo Xiaozong, and he is going to Xianyang to marry Qin Wang's sister—Princess Liyang."
Su Zhaodao: "Qin and Jin are so good, the origin...well, Quwo Xiaozong, married Qin?"
"It's Xiaozong Quwo. It is said that Princess Liyang is deeply loved by Queen Mother Xuan and King Qin." Cen Xiu said.
Su Zhao looked around and said, "I understand what you mean, sir."
Cen Xiu said: "Once the marriage between Quwo and the State of Qin is achieved, the King of Jin will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating, and it will be unfavorable to use troops in the guard, so he will definitely withdraw his troops and leave."
Su Zhaodao: "The marriage between Quwo and Qin State is not something that I, Su State, can interfere with."
"Your Majesty, the court of the Jin Kingdom is divided into powers by four families, the Zhi family, the Zhao family, the Wei family, and the Han family. The power of the Duke of Jin depends on the strength of the four families. Now that Jian is commanding the troops outside, rumors can spread from your lord that Zhao Yang Jian and Qu Wo are secretly colluding with each other with evil intentions." Cen Xiu finally tried to see it.
