Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 278
I want to visit Guodu!
The Son of Heaven has such a big tone and such lofty ambitions!

Wang Yongji and Wang Jian were shocked. They knew that the emperor had brought so many people to the expedition, and they should have other plans, but they didn't expect that the emperor's plan was so big, and the emperor's real goal was Guoguo.

It is true that Guo State has always been not very respectful to the Great Qin court, and the emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty have indeed always hated Guo State deeply, and more than one emperor has publicly expressed that he wants to turn Guo State into a county of Great Qin.

But Guo State is far away from the center of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the land of Guo State is barren, mostly mountainous, which is of little value.

From the perspective of cost performance, the cost of fighting Guo State is huge, the gains are small, and the cost performance is not high, which has made Guo State arrogant until now.

However, Wang Mang was obviously unwilling to continue to tolerate Guo State's continuous provocation against Great Qin, and now he is leading an army of millions to the south, pointing his sword at the rebels, aiming at Guo State.

Wang Yongji couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the Guo State is full of mountains and forests, which are of no value, and there is nothing to see in the Guo Capital. Guo State is rich in warriors, but most of the women are strong and strong, which does not meet the aesthetics of the Central Plains Dynasty. Think twice!"

"I have thought twice." Wang Mang looked at Wang Yongji and said, "Wang Yongji, Lord Guo, Guo Changfu has insulted me a lot. As my subject, are you willing to just watch me like this and let Guo Changfu bully me?"

"The sage said, if you are a minister, the king is worried about the work of the minister, and the king humiliates the minister to death. The minister is willing to go to Guodu in person to ask Guo Changfu for his crimes, so as to avenge his majesty!" Wang Yongji kowtowed at that time.

Wang Mang waved his hand and said, "Get up, I don't want my Minister of the Ministry of War to go to the Guo State to be humiliated and die. You two, I'm going to tell you the truth today. Whether you agree or not, I don't care. The decision has been made, you just need to do as I want."

"Your Majesty, although the imperial court has infiltrated the Guo State for many years, they don't know much about the mountains and rivers of the Guo State. There is a saying in the art of war, and you can't enter the forest. However, the territory of the Guo State is full of mountains and forests. Our army is good at fighting on the plains. However, the soldiers of Guo State are good at fighting in the mountains and forests. Our army invaded Guo State. It is to attack others' strengths by taking advantage of our own weaknesses, which is what the wise would not do..." Wang Jian was about to continue, but saw Wang Mang casually Throwing a map in front of him.

"What is this?" Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, but he opened the map subconsciously, and was stunned at that moment.

Wang Yongji moved his head to look at it, and was shocked at the time. He shouted: "Could it be that this is the geographical map of the mountains and rivers of the Guo State? Who drew this, and why is it so clear? I am sure that even the Guo State itself, there is absolutely nothing like this." Detailed maps? It's just astounding."

Wang Jian also said: "I have been to Guo State, and I remember many places here very clearly. It is indeed consistent with the map. Most of the mountains and forests in the country, even the Guo people themselves do not know how to go, most of them rely on the local old hunters to lead the way, who made this map, this person is simply a god!"

God man?

Wang Mang smiled in his heart. This map was simply drawn by him according to the map fragments of the world map. He never thought that it would shock the two veterans. Scared to death.

Wang Jian slowly moved away from the map with his eyes looking at the most precious treasure, looked at Wang Mang and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know who drew this, it's simply too surprising. With this map, our army is even more powerful. , Guo State is mostly under the control of our Great Qin."

"Don't worry about who drew it. You just need to know that the map is real and why I am so confident that you dare to go to Guodu for a visit." Wang Mang said, "Both of you, Wang Xi and Guo Changfu are connected, we don't need to Never mind, we even have to create conditions to encourage them to hook up."

"Uh..." Wang Jian looked at Wang Mang in a daze.

Wang Mang continued: "As the two said, the Guo people are good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and our army is good at fighting on the plains. Our army went deep into the territory of Guo State to fight Guo State. Naturally, I will not do such a stupid thing, so the best way is to draw the main force of the Guo State out of the territory of the Guo State, and now wipe out their main force on the plain, so that after my soldiers enter the Guo State, to minimize losses.”

"Your Majesty is wise, I'd rather be far away!" Wang Jian and Wang Yongji kowtowed at the same time, and the two veterans were a little muttering in their hearts. The two of them have led troops to fight for so many years, and they are also known as famous generals. Comparing His Majesty, you are like a fool, completely incomparable.

Your Majesty is really humble!

Wang Jian and Wang Yongji sighed in their hearts, they finally knew why the Son of Heaven would change a great Qin with thousands of holes and holes in such a short period of time.

"After the minister returned, he asked the spies from the Ministry of War to spy on Guo State's military situation for His Majesty's use." Wang Yongji said.

"The minister will ask the Southern Expedition Army to study Lord Guo's tactics, formulate corresponding strategies, and gather hunter-born soldiers in the army, and train them secretly. They must have a part of the mountain forest combat capability in the shortest possible time." Wang Wang Jian followed.

"Look at the arrangements for these two things." Wang Mang said, "Now there is an important thing for you to do."

"what's up?"

"You should have arranged internal agents by Wang Xi's side. Next, you have to tell these internal agents to encourage Wang Xi to agree to all the unreasonable demands of the Guo State at all costs, and to attract the main force and even the reserve troops of the Guo State. Go out and fight." Wang Mang said: "The people under Wang Xi are nothing, with Wang Jitang as an example, they will not follow Wang Xi all the way to the dark, and you can clearly tell some of them that you can win them over. It is not impossible for them to surrender, but they have to surrender their certificates."

"Your Majesty will obey the order." Wang Jian and Wang Yongji kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations!"

At the same time, Guodu, the palace.

Guo Changfu looked at the document in hand, sometimes smiled, sometimes frowned, and finally cast his eyes on a white-clothed counselor, and said, "Aiqing, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" The counselor in white said, "Guo State has lived in the barren land of mountains and forests for a long time, and Great Qin has always been the people's yearning. It’s not easy to mess with. Our Guo State has been in business for many years, and it’s not available. Now that the Qin people are in civil strife, our Guo State’s opportunity has come. If we seize this opportunity, the king will definitely become the most powerful king of our Guo State, and he will be among the dynasties in the future. .”

Guo Changfu stood up excitedly, and said: "Ai Qing, this is also my opinion, do you want to agree to Wang Xi's emissary now?"

"No, I have to reject his envoy straight away." The counselor in white shook his head and said, "Wang Xi is just meat on the chopping board now, we can't take him so cheaply, his conditions are not enough, we must increase the conditions, let the envoy cool down first, minister." You can go meet him first."

"Will this be self-defeating?" Guo Changfu was a little worried about gains and losses.

"No, the emperor of Daqin has brought a large number of soldiers and horses to Wang Xi's house. He can only ask us for help now. If he doesn't agree to our conditions, then he will die." The counselor in white said: "And Wang Xi is a person who is afraid of death, otherwise, as the prince of Daqin's clan, he would not know what agreeing to our terms means."

"Just as you said!" Guo Changfu pondered for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "Wang Xi's conditions are not enough, our warriors in Guo State are not so cheap."

"Your Majesty is wise!" the counselor in white kowtowed.
