Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 491

"Cannibalize."

The strategic plan provided by Han Xin is simple and direct. It is called the cannibalization strategy. In a world where food is the sky, there is no end to the fertile land, and the climate is several crops a year. The belly, what does that mean?On the frontier, the Han people who almost knew about body poison had devouring light in their eyes when they talked about body poison.

This is a treasure land, a real treasure land. Liang Guo can feed millions of people with its fertile cultivated land. However, in a climate where there are many, many, and even ripening lands like Liang Guo, Liang Guo can It’s nothing, except for arable land and climate, there are also a lot of resources, enough to make any empire suffer from hiccups.

It is truly the place God desires.

The most important thing is that this place is beginning to weaken now. If a hundred years earlier, the Maurya Dynasty was still there, who would travel thousands of miles to fight poison, there is a high probability that they would lose to the Maurya Dynasty. At its peak, the Maurya Dynasty covered India. The vast majority of the peninsula extends to the southern part of Afghanistan in Central Asia, with a population of about 3000 million. No matter how capable a general is, it is unrealistic to travel thousands of miles to find this behemoth to compete with.

Now the Maurya Dynasty has long since ceased to exist, and the whole body is divided again, fighting each other, with many contradictions, and it has turned from prosperity to decline.

After the demise of the Maurya Dynasty, wild beasts pounced on them, carve up the flesh and blood of the empire, and the Kingslayer Dynasty, which inherited the head of the Maurya Dynasty, had a population of only 700 million at the moment and could mobilize no more than 20 troops.

And this is just the beginning of the decline of body poisoning. Frequent civil wars and the battles between Daxia and them are constantly consuming their strength. In history, when the Yuezhi people launched an attack a hundred years later, there was no What big country can stop the Yuezhi people, they are basically reduced to fragments, from the war between countries to the war between cities, and there is no trace of the original Maurya Dynasty.

Interestingly, when King Ashoka of the Maurya Dynasty passed away, a 27-year-old young man stood in Xianyang and drew out his sword, aiming at the Six Kingdoms.

When the Maurya Dynasty fell, a 23-year-old young man closed his eyes in Chang'an.

The Maurya Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty coexisted for a while, but after the Qin Dynasty fell, an old hooligan quickly filled the vacancy, and after the Maurya Dynasty fell, for hundreds of years, no one was able to integrate them again. The next one that integrated more than half of them was the Guishuang Empire established by the Yuezhi people.

It wasn't just Liu Chang who was salivating at the body poison, Han Xin also wanted to open up the land here, and he wanted to compete with the generals over there to see that the tactics were different from those in the Central Plains.

"How to nibble?"

"First is the road. Now the Huns control the road with Daxia and Shendu. Stone City is still too far away from Daxia. The first step is to open the road."

Han Xin sat directly on the ground, and drew on the ground with his hands. He drew a relatively simple map.

"This is Daxia, this is Xunjia, and this is the Xiongnu. We need to carve out a road on the Huns. Look, a knife is cut like this!"

With a wave of his hand, Han Xin drew a line within the area occupied by the Huns, directly connecting the big man with Shendu. The corner of Liu Chang's eyes twitched. This is indeed the fastest route to Shendu. However, the problem is, How to cut such a knife on the Huns.

Liu Chang didn't even speak, Han Xin seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said seriously: "I will lead the cavalry to go out and drive the main force of the Huns to the north, so that they can't take care of the many areas in the south. Choose a capable general, lead the army all the way to cut off the connection with the main force of the Huns, wipe out the Huns army on the south side of this line, and force them to flee.”

"and then?"

"Let Sunga spend money to buy back this territory."

"what???"

Liu Chang is a little confused now. He thought just now that the master drew a line to build a passage for a big man, and build a fortress station on this line, so that the merchants of the big man can go all the way to the poisonous body safely, but now it looks like Come on, Master is going to kill the Huns in the south of this line, and then hand over this territory to Xunjia, so that Shendu can border on the big man in this way.

"Master, it's better for us to capture this place directly. If we capture it, we can also border on Shendu. Why sell it to Na Xunjia?"

Han Xin shook his head, "It's too far away to govern. You can't even govern the Western Regions and Liaodong. Looting? Such a long distance, what to do with the troops guarding the border? Even enfeoffment is impossible. The best way is to sell it to poisonous people so that they can border the big man. Once they border the big man, the next thing That's easy."

"Then why did you sell it to Sunga? There are so many poisonous countries?"

"Xunjia was originally a general of the Maurya Dynasty. Because he killed his own king, his reputation was ruined. All the countries were against him, and he was keen to restore the territory of the Maurya Dynasty. He was very concerned about the land. Desire, and at the same time, he is the most powerful in the poisoned kingdoms, with enough food and money, and if this territory is handed over to him, he can keep it, and he is not afraid that the Huns will snatch it away again."

Although body poison has turned from prosperity to decline, it is still not a period of fragmentation after all. Now the only ones who can barely stop the Huns are Daxia and Xunjia, and almost none of the others are opponents of the Huns.

"This man has a lot to do. If you canonize him as the Peacock King in the name of the Great Han Emperor, this guy is absolutely willing to do anything."

"He can be supported. He is ambitious and courageous, but he has no corresponding talent in fighting and governing the country. It would be best to use him to maintain the current situation of being poisoned."

Han Xin said, Liu Chang nodded.

Han Xin continued: "Then, it's Xiting Kingdom."

Han Xin's hand was directly withdrawn from Shendu to the Western Regions. Liu Chang was taken aback, and Han Xin continued: "If you want to take down Shendu, the most important thing is Xiting Kingdom. In the future, the Xiting Congress will border Shendu. We have to help the Shendu people maintain this bordering territory, be responsible for trade, various exchanges, and affect Shendu from all aspects. In the future, Xiting will be the main force to attack Shendu."

"To help the Xiting Kingdom become stronger as soon as possible, and to transfuse it, the scope of control of the temple is limited, and it is not easy for orders to reach the Hexi Kingdom. The Beiting Kingdom and the Xiting Kingdom have to be governed by their monarchs and ministers themselves. If you wait for the temple's decree, it will take several years to go back and forth, which is impossible."

"At present, the roads in some areas of Hexi Kingdom are not bad. We need to build them slowly, step by step, to completely connect Hexi to Xiting Kingdom, and then start to build from Xiting Kingdom to the interior of Shendu. One day, Xiting You can take back the area that was handed over to Xunjia, and from here, go deep into the body and continue to eat away."

"In addition, it is Dian Kingdom and Nanyue!"

Han Xin's jump was too big, and he came to the south by the way.

"There is a road in Dian State that can reach the southern part of Shendu. We need to continue to explore here, and maybe there will be unexpected surprises in the future."

"As for Nanyue, it's the same reason. You can go to Shendu from Dian Kingdom, but you may not be able to go from Nanyue. In addition, it's the waterway here. You need to keep exploring. If you can get to Shendu by waterway, it will be much more convenient than land. up"

Han Xin talked about his own strategic conception in detail, from the double-headed development of the overall situation to the construction of small cities. Han Xin believes that at least 200 more cities will be built on the road from Xiting Kingdom to Hexi. I feel a little outrageous.

And Han Xin's thoughts after bordering on Shendu are actually the same as Liu Chang's, it is all about trade. Han Xin believes that he can continue to exchange food, manpower, and other resources with them. The countries in Shendu have established influence to see if they can be controlled without using soldiers, and a large number of pedestrians are dispatched to expand the influence of the big men in Shendu. Han Xin is going to issue an exclusive newspaper in Shendu, just to brag The strength of the big man.

Han Xin had a lot of things to think about, and his mouth was a little dry when he said it.

But Liu Chang, who has no eyesight, didn't care about this at all.

He was also fascinated.

Han Xin is going to use gunpowder to poison himself. According to Han Xin, since these people are good ghosts and gods, then use what they fear and respect to defeat them. Han Xin is going to pack Liu Chang into a god and come up with some related classics. Let them voluntarily learn the characters of the Han Dynasty, come to the Han Dynasty on a pilgrimage, and meet the real gods.

Han Xin's encroachment strategy is not a simple war, it simply includes political and cultural aspects, and it is an invasion plan carried out from all aspects. It is very detailed. He has thought of almost everything, even It's not just fantasy, he has even thought about the specific things to be implemented, and Liu Chang was stunned when he heard it.

Liu Chang looked at Han Xin in surprise, and Han Xin frowned displeased.

"doing what?!"

"Master. You too. You"

Liu Chang spoke several times, but couldn't continue.

Han Xin didn't continue talking, he turned around, waved, and asked Liu Chang to follow him. The group of people went back in the car. Liu Chang originally wanted to ride with Han Xin, but Han Xin let him go by himself. Riding the horse, Liu Chang had to sit with Xia Houying, but even so, Liu Chang's eyes still looked at Han Xin from time to time.

"Father Zhong, do you sometimes feel that sometimes Master doesn't seem like a human being?"

Xia Houying hesitated for a moment, "Is your majesty saying that you are not like ordinary people?"

"Yes, yes, if there are really ghosts and gods in this world, then they must be like Master."

Speaking of this, Xia Houying is not sleepy anymore, he has a deep understanding of this, "Your Majesty is still young, you don't know it. Back then."

Xia Houying talked about the past, with a touch of nostalgia in his words. When Liu Chang was about to reuse the young man in front of him who had almost no experience in leading troops, these generals were very angry. Leading troops to fight, how can you be qualified to be a general?Riding on their heads all at once? ?

Including Xia Houying, who rescued Han Xin, was a little bit jealous at that time, thinking that his big brother had lost his head, and so was Xiao He, which was outrageous.

But soon, this young young man started to slap his face against the embarrassment and disdain of the generals, and the slap was so loud that it was basically unreasonable to fight. The outrageous tactics saw the generals scalp hair Ma, they don't know how Han Xin won. At that time, Cao Shen, who was the most capable under Liu Bang's command, fell into deep self-doubt. Is this still a person? ?
But after winning like this, they were all relieved.

After that, it became the level that these founding generals would kneel down and salute him when they saw him, calling them kings.

Even the most irritable Fan Kuai would kneel down and salute Han Xin when he saw him, calling him a king, even if he was arrested for treason, they still did the same.

"A true god!"

Liu Chang boasted, and then said: "Also, my father is also my mother who told me several times before that my knowledge of people is far inferior to my father's, only [-]% of his. I still don't believe it, but now I believe it. If it were me, I would definitely not let a young man who has never led a soldier be a general, and let him command his brothers. Just for this, I am far inferior to my father!"

Xia Houying was a little surprised. He heard that the emperor always committed the crime of disobedience, and always yelled at Emperor Gao. How can he boast now?
Liu Chang has done so many evil things in his life, and the worst of them is the crime of disobedience. To put it simply, he did not worship according to the etiquette and lacked respect for Emperor Gao. These two are the emperors in the eyes of the world. Compared with the two most brutal and stupid behaviors, beating the old and the weak is not a crime.

Xia Houying reminded: "In fact, there is Xiao Xiang. At that time, Emperor Gao used the king as his general. It was Xiao Xiang who persuaded Gao Emperor to worship him as a general."

Liu Chang nodded, "You are right, but these three people have achieved each other. All three are gods."

"Your Majesty is also a god-man, not much worse than Emperor Gao."

"Hahaha, Father Zhong, you are too famous, how can I be ranked with these three people?"

Liu Chang blinked and stared at Xia Houying's face, hurry up and praise!
Han Xin was writing something in the account, and a soldier came in to report.

Han Xin waved his hand casually, "Let him in."

"only!"

Soon, Zhou Yafu appeared in front of Han Xin. Zhou Yafu looked fatter and darker than before, but his expression became more and more indifferent. He was exactly the same as Zhou Bo, just cold. He looked at Han Xin seriously. See you in prayer.

Han Xin just narrowed his eyes and looked at him. In these years, Zhou Yafu followed Han Xin and showed him the door for a long time. Later, he was sent by Han Xin to fight in various places. In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Yafu must have offended Han Xin. Well, Zhou Yafu has not been able to make any contributions these days, mainly because Han Xin is suppressing him.

This kind of suppression and bullying is even a bit deliberate.

Zhou Yafu went around to put out fires and assist, and the credit was never given to him. Once there was the most difficult and tiring job, Zhou Yafu would definitely do it. Every time he did it very well, even Xia Houying couldn't help it. Exclaimed "I'm not as good as it!", but Han Xin always humiliated him, specifically picking on his shortcomings and shortcomings.

Zhou Yafu is also stubborn. Facing Han Xin's "bullying", he kept silent, constantly improved his own shortcomings, worked hard, and completely obeyed Han Xin's orders, just to make Han Xin unable to pick out his own shortcomings. No matter how hard he tried, Han Xin could always accurately find out some shortcomings. If it were someone else, he would have gone mad, but Zhou Yafu is not like this, he is getting stronger and stronger.

He fought against the Huns around Stone City, leading more than 6000 cavalry, more than 5000 soldiers, and more than 2000 crossbowmen. General, he didn't even understand how he won the battle, and even King Zuo Xian didn't understand how he lost.

If he used to be the number one general of the younger generation, he is definitely not inferior even among those who founded the country, and he might even be at the forefront. Anyway, Xia Houying felt that he was no longer his opponent.

"Yaf, how old are you?"

Han Xin suddenly asked his age.

Zhou Yafu immediately replied: "Twenty to eight."

"Then how much food do you have?"

"Five thousand households."

At the age of 28, he got 28 food towns, which is inconceivable in the eyes of everyone. You know, Zhou Bo’s food towns were only around this level when the country was founded. This was when Han Xin suppressed him, but Han Xin heard about him. Shiyi's expression didn't change at all. After all, someone was already the king of Qi at the age of [-]. Then Qi State is not the Qi State after it is divided, but the Qi State when it was the most prosperous and prosperous. Not many, just close to a million households
"good."

Han Xin nodded, and then asked, "Let me ask you, are you afraid of death?"

"afraid."

"Then are you willing to die for the king's affairs?"

"willing."

"That's fine."

"From now on, you should stop reading military books, and read some classics from various schools. You have to read them every night, and I will pass the school exam."

"Ok??"

Zhou Yafu looked at Han Xin in surprise, and Han Xin said: "I think you are the only one among these young people who can barely use me. I want you to keep an eye on the emperor after we pass away, and don't let the emperor act recklessly. You may not persuade him." I can hold him, but this guy is affectionate, and if you threaten him with your life, it will make him restrain himself a lot."

"This minister is not very good at government affairs."

"So go read it!"

"Do you think that the way to fight can only be found in the art of war? War is not that simple. Many methods are not above the art of war. If you think that war is just about leading troops to fight, then you will never reach my goal." Level."

Zhou Yafu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Wei!!!"

"Master!!!"

With an exclamation, Liu Chang broke in again, and he saw an acquaintance standing in front of Han Xin.

"Yaf?!!"

ps: I feel like I'm starting to lose my hair, so it won't become Mediterranean.
