After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 338 Intentional
Sun Tzu thought for a while, but did not answer, but asked directly.

"What does the Marquis of Han think the marriage between the two countries is for?"

Regarding this question, Meng Di didn't even think about it, and spoke without hesitation.

"Naturally, it is for the benefit of the two countries. As long as the marriage is successful, it will be equivalent to an extra layer of protection between the two countries. At that time, if a country encounters danger, it can turn to another country for help, or hope that the two countries can be peaceful. Coexist."

But Sun Wu shook his head lightly, then he let out a long sigh, and then spoke.

"The marriage alliance of big countries is relatively complicated. It is good based on the interests of the two countries. On the other hand, some unexpected effects can also be achieved through methods, just like the two countries of Qilu are also considered countries of marriage."

"But in the end, there were constant attacks on each other. The Marquis of Han just looked at this matter from the perspective of human nature. Chu's marriage with South Korea at this time actually has only one purpose, and that is to stir up the conflict between Han and Wu. , and profit from it.”

"So from the point of view of today's world, who Marquis Han marries is not the key point. The most important thing is that Marquis Han has already made a determination in his heart to be fought by Wu Guo, so the marriage contract of Chu State is just a trigger. That's all."

"This time, it is also because the old man is not secretive, so the country of Han is allowed to go to war with the country of Wu in advance. Here, the old man wants to apologize to the Marquis of Han. As for the princess of Qi, the Marquis of Han can also take this opportunity to accept her. Tian He and the king of Qi will definitely not care about it."

"What they care about is maintaining the relationship with Han. If they divorce directly, the impact will be too bad. But when the time comes, Princess Qi will marry with a lower standard. Hanhou only needs to return the gift with a generous amount. .”

Meng Di thought about it carefully. This is indeed the truth. As long as the identity of the other party matches his own, and at the same time can improve the prestige of Han, Chu is undoubtedly the best choice. he nodded, then asked.

"Then, what is Mr. Sun's opinion on the matter of the state of Lu? Although the relationship between the state of Lu and the state of Han is relatively close now, the state of Lu is forced to do this. I am afraid that from the heart, they are more inclined to the state of Jin. .”

After hearing this, Sun Wu laughed, and after a while he stopped his smile and said with a look of determination on his face.

"The Marquis of Han is a little overwhelmed. Could it be said that the tiger will consider the idea of ​​the lamb? The country of Lu is now in a state of lifelessness, and he did not take this opportunity to reform. He just desperately wanted to hold on to the territory he got."

"Under such circumstances, there is nothing to worry about. The so-called orthodoxy is nothing more than the saying of success and defeat. Otherwise, how could Xia, Shang and Zhou replace it? Hanhou sometimes considers things comprehensively, which is a good thing .”

"However, you don't need to expend too much energy on some small things. As long as you have the strength, no matter how dangerous the situation is, you can win in the end. This old man believes that Hanhou has such ability and determination."

"There is another thing that the Marquis of Han needs to pay attention to. Because Dongmeng Mountain is relatively close to Lu State, the old man discovered that since its completion, some craftsmen disappeared inexplicably. They must have been taken captive, so the old man suggested closing Dongmeng Mountain. The workshop of the mountain."

"Move all these people to Huai City, so as to prevent leakage of secrets. In addition, if a war breaks out in the future, these places will bear the brunt, so it is necessary to prepare in advance."

"Because there has been news recently from Jin State that Zhao Yang has sent someone to forge a kind of armor, which is also made of evil gold. Obviously, they obtained this method from Dongmeng Mountain."

Regarding this worry, Meng Di smiled lightly, and said with a confident expression on his face.

"Mr. Sun doesn't need to filter this. This thing has a long history. Sooner or later, others will learn to forge tools of evil gold. Moreover, the tools produced in the workshop here are mainly supplied to the country of Qi. The armor of our army is basically All of them are from Huaicheng."

"If you want to move these workshops, you can move them to Nanju City. After all, most of the daily necessities can be made here, which can also reduce the time and manpower used for transportation."

"Putting this workshop outside is for others to spy on. After they go back to the technology they learned here, it's just an imitation. After they spend a lot of effort to build their own armor."

"At that time, our ordnance has been refitted, and they still won't be able to catch the slightest advantage in the battle. Presumably, this kind of blow will be very fatal to them, and it will also cultivate more smelting craftsmen for us. It's a good thing."

"As long as the most critical technology is in our hands, Jin is a big country after all. Their population experience and technology are stronger than ours in some aspects. It is good to let them suffer a big loss in smelting. of."

Now Gongsunye has already produced Baishen Iron, and with the help of Gongshuban, he is slowly improving the smelting method. Now the scimitars used by the cavalry are basically modified, with Baishen attached to the blade. Iron, and then repeated hammering.

The sharpness is also much stronger than iron swords. Even if it is iron armor, it can be cut open with one blow. This is completely technically crushed, so Mengdi is not worried about this, and you must know that developing iron ore requires a lot of time. large population.

The Han Kingdom is now using a rotation method to move the nearby population to work near the mines and give them a certain amount of rewards. Therefore, it has not caused too much resentment, and the people can get more money, and many people have no complaints.

This is based on the economic development of the Han State. After this civil strife, the Jin State wants to mass-produce iron swords and swords in a short period of time. It is conceivable that a large number of people will be thrown into the mines.

Since Zhao Yang wants the latecomers to be ahead, he needs to invest more financial and manpower. For Meng Di, this is naturally a good thing. At least the Jin Dynasty will stop for a while.

Sun Wu saw that Meng Di already had a countermeasure, so he didn't say more about it, but Meng Di said at this time.

"I want to take Chen He with me this time. He has been studying with my husband for a while. I don't know if my husband thinks he can lead the army alone?"

Regarding this matter, Sun Wu was more cautious. After thinking about it carefully, he spoke.

"Chen He has a relatively stable temper and lacks aggressiveness. If it is a dignified battle, he can be used as a general."
