The era of all the princes

Chapter 248 Wang Bainian's Children
"grown ups."

In Fuchuan's government office, the guards guarding the gate saw Wang Bainian's return, and hurriedly saluted respectfully. Wang Bainian dismounted at the gate, and patted the shoulders of the two gatekeepers with a smile, and the two straightened their backs immediately.

Obviously, Wang Bainian seems to do this often, and it is also this casual action style with soldiers at any time, which allows him to chat with soldiers in the army very easy-going.

After entering the mansion, the smiling face turned cold in an instant, and he walked all the way to the study in the backyard. There were many people waiting in advance in the study, all of them were young faces, four men and one woman, and their appearance was more or less Few have the characteristics of Wang Bainian.

"Father!" Everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

Wang Bainian nodded slightly, closed the door and found a place to sit down: "How did the discussion go?"

Over the years, Wang Bainian has been in groups of wives and concubines, with many children. Guangzheng wife gave birth to three children for him, and the group of beautiful concubines gave birth to more than 20 children. But now only the five in front of him are eligible to go out to discuss affairs together.

Wang Bainian's style of raising children is very different. In every big family, blood is the most important thing. Establishing a son and growing up is the basic and unchangeable ancestral method. There is a huge gap between disciples and bastards.

But in Wang Bainian's place, Lixian is the main focus. It seems that he doesn't care that his children will fight secretly because of this. Those who are capable and able to show it, regardless of whether they are born or concubines, will be given massive resources and support, and they will even become one of the island. host!
Now, four of Jiulong Island were given to his sons respectively, but after Wang Ye's rise, only one of them was owned by his son, and the remaining eight were in the hands of his son.

Even if he is a man, as long as he is incapable, Wang Bainian seems to be stingy and decentralizes power. The eldest son Wang Dafeng almost controls the entire caravan on Silong Island. After the interview, everyone has to practice courtesy and call "Sister".

At this time, all the children who were brought out were usually used outside the home.

At this moment, what we are left to discuss in the room is a big and small decision for this trip, whether to attack Zhao Yi or attack Tianshui!
When the topic was still under the surface, the generals and advisers argued for a long time, because the pros and cons of each seemed unattractive.

Tianshui is located in the east pass, almost blocked the imperial court and Bingzhou pass, and even lined up with Zhao Yi, hit my Tianshui and took Moyang, so Wang Bai and Huai'an are two isolated cities, and their own navy is alone in the West Sea. Going up to Tianshui, and then using the navy to blockade the west sea, after a long time, Zhao Yi and Huai'an must be self-defeating!

But the disadvantages are also obvious. First of all, it is easy to capture Tianshui. Tianshui is a purely inland city. If you choose to attack Tianshui, your own navy and heavy siege equipment under the ship are rare to use, and Tianshui and Moyang are connected. It is a city that lacks food and is also the most durable city.

Eighth, even if it can be done, there are very few follow-up problems. If you want to achieve the conditions to block Wang Bai and Zhao Yi, you have to unite with Zhao Yi. This must deal directly with the Dark Cult. Whether there will be no conflicts is anyone's guess. allow.

It is even more necessary to face the threat of the Mobei Yuwen family and the Southwest Shu King.

My intention to blockade the two cities can be seen by anyone who has no military acumen, so whether it is the imperial court or the two anti-kings who have no idea about Bingzhou, they will sit back and watch my blockade safely, and I must bear it The pressure from those parties.

Of course, the advantage is that if you can overcome all the difficulties, Bingzhou is in your pocket, and now I, Zhao Yichan, are really a vassal of the separatist side!
But Huai'an has relatively few problems. First of all, it is relatively easy to fight. The city gate of Huai'an Linshui is a barrier that is difficult to break through for the northern forces like Yuwen's family, which mainly consist of cavalry. But for Wang Bainian But it is a very small flaw.

Using small boats and small siege equipment is not very convenient for capturing the water gate. Compared with Tianshui, which has a low city wall and thick walls, it is much more difficult for Zhao Yi.

Moreover, before attacking Zhao Yi, there will be many problems. Huai'an is a port city, and it is far away from the small forces in the Central Plains. The old army will easily send troops, and even if the other two anti-kings fight again, there will be no Tianshui as the first barrier, which can be described as a win-win situation.

The disadvantage is that before taking Huai'an, the old troops of King Liang who allied with Tianshui became the only choice. If they want to continue to attack, they are likely to be flanked by Wang Bo and Tianshui forces. It may be possible to maintain that situation of eight-legged confrontation for a long time, and it is difficult to retreat without an inch!

That is the smallest disagreement among Zhao Yichan's forces today. From a military point of view, fighting Tianshui is a military adventure, and fighting Zhao Yi is a steady and steady fight. But from a strategic point of view, fighting Huai'an is equivalent to a low wall of self-reliance, which limits future prospects.

"Father, you think it's better to be on the safe side." Wang Dafeng, the eldest son, was the first to speak: "Father has been in business for 70 years, and he doesn't have the capital he has today. The risk is too small to bet on Tianshui rashly. If there is a way to annex Bingzhou, you think there will be great opportunities in the future. You have occupied the most prosperous port in the West Sea. As long as you can completely block Fuchuan and the pass, you have the final say on the entire West Sea. What about Tianshui and Wang Bai? In terms of forces, you are taking the initiative."

"You may need us, but we must need you. Otherwise, with the trade routes, it will be difficult for these two isolated cities to support themselves. This will cause you to offer even a little bit too much. Whether it is the old department of King Liang or the power of the Seven Small Business Firms , have no negotiating qualifications, over time, one will ebb and flow, and then accumulate enough capital, it may not be possible to win the state in one fell swoop."

Listening to the analysis, Wang Bainian nodded in satisfaction. Wang Dafeng is my first child, and a child I am extremely satisfied with. The talent he has shown since he was a child is very human, and he is quite naive in terms of strategic vision and handling skills. , such a young man, I have been worrying about my business and taught you, and the answers given by the other party have never disappointed me.

"Sister is still too big-hearted." A young man with dark skin and the thinnest figure among all his brothers retorted: "Now the situation in the Central Plains has reached the point where all the heroes are competing for the throne. Only the smallest strength accumulated over time is ineligible to win the Central Plains. His conservative strategy of staying in one place will make you feel far away from others in the future. My father's ambition is to win the Central Plains, and to be an emperor of the land."

"Hahahaha!" Wang Bainian laughed loudly, and patted the little brother Bai on the head directly: "His bastard, put a low hat on labor and management!"

"Father, you can beat the head carefully, but you will be stupid." The white-skinned Zhao Yichan waited with a full face for many years.

"Eh haha, I'm excited for a while, I'm excited for a while." Zhao Yichan laughed and said, obviously doting on those years.

Just now Wang Dafeng looked at the younger brother who had been in the limelight recently, his eyes slightly warmed up.

Ohno
