Chapter 133 Knowledge
Faced with Yan Zhu's urgent eyes, Liang Xiao did not dare to draw a conclusion easily. Read the novel to the website
When Li Guang explained the task, he made it very clear that his mission was not to kill the enemy, but to protect the messenger. As long as he was strictly assisted in safety, everything else would be easy to say, and giving advice was not among his missions.
What's more, Liu Ling told him that although there was no tiger talisman, the emperor's intention was to suppress the rebellion. It seemed unlikely that he would suddenly become a marquis and appease him. Yan Zhu was disorganized, or did he really have a dual choice, and even Liu Ling didn't know?
Liang Xiao thought nervously for a long time before he said carefully: "Sir, my master's opinion is actually not important. Judging from the fact that he was sent to the Yangtze River to perform a detailed task and Liu Ju's eyeliner around him, he has not yet gained Liu Ju's trust."
Yan Zhu turned his eyes, the light in his eyes was a little dim, but the worry became even stronger. From the first meeting of Liu Ju, he knew that the situation he was facing was far more difficult than he expected. Liu Ju would question Huan Yuan in person because of Ye Tianlong. Huan Yuan's status could not be higher. Does he have the ability to keep his promises and ensure my safety?
"If you just want to judge things, even if you are a marquis, as long as your fief is appropriate, my master may agree. No matter what the final result is, it can be delayed for at least a period of time. But for Liu Ju, it is difficult to say whether he can agree. He has been in his heart for more than ten years. It is really difficult to judge whether he can let go. Sir, can you untie his knot?"
Yan Zhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking about something. After hearing Liang Xiao's words, he remembered Liu Ju's embarrassment at that time, and suddenly became more confident.
Which one would Liu Ju choose between living in Minyue and the Marquis?
"Okay, I have my own opinions. Be careful."
"Yes." Liang Xiao and Wei Qing agreed at the same time.
Wei Qing stayed in the tent, Liang Xiao came out and replaced Qin Ge. Hearing the footsteps, Qin Ge looked back, glanced at the big tent again, and laughed in a low voice: "Are you scared?"
Liang Xiao didn't say anything. He pulled Qin Ge for more than ten steps before whispering: "What does Brother Qin mean?"
"What does it mean?" Qin Ge laughed, but his eyes were a little cold. "The emperor mentioned the remnants of Wu many times. He always cut his teeth and never wanted to comfort him. How could he be granted a title of marquis? This is the adult's own idea. The opinion he asked you was because he was worried that a person could not bear the responsibility of forgery, and he would take you and me to take care of him."
Liang Xiao took a breath of air. Yan Zhu was indeed insidious. Fortunately, he didn't speak nonsense just now, otherwise this matter would not be cleared. Wei Qing and Qin Ge were close ministers of the emperor. There were some opportunities to defend the emperor. But he was a foreigner. If the emperor had any opinions about him, he might not know why and would be deposed.
In addition to being surprised, Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing secretly. Yan Zhu, Yan Zhu, you are in vain for your whole life. I'm afraid I don't know that my relationship with the emperor is also very close. You are too much to put your ideas on me.
"Thank you, Brother Qin."
"It's nothing." Qin Ge turned his head and looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers, with disdain in his eyes. "Just with these short and thin monkeys, how big a storm can cause? If we hadn't been negligent and fell into your master's heart-wrenching plan, we could only sway the Minyue, three or five thousand elites, and there was no need to compromise like this."
"I'm afraid it's not the case." Liang Xiao shook his head. "If it was a dignified formation, three or five thousand people might be enough, but if it was scattered into the mountains and forests, there would be no one with three or five thousand people. Don't look at these people who are short and thin, but they are not as good as you and I. The terrain in the mountains is complex and there is a miasma. People who are not familiar with the situation will come in. The chances of survival are very small."
"Muscity?" Qin Ge's face changed slightly.
"Unlike the north, the south is wet and rainy. There are many poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions, and it is hard to defend against it. Even if the elites in a hundred battles enter the mountain, they may be in a hurry. Once attacked, they may suffer a catastrophe and collapse without fighting. The 500,000 Qin troops fought south and suffered heavy losses, which was because of these reasons."
Qin Ge frowned. "According to this, isn't there any help?"
"Of course not. Did the Qin army conquered Nanyue in the end?" Liang Xiao stared at the warships passing by on the lake in the distance. "There are two ways to defeat Manyue. One is to avoid entanglement on the periphery, use thunder to hit the key points, and attack them with the force of thunder. Capturing their important cities is equivalent to pinching their seven inches. The other is to immigrate and fill the borders and migrate the educated people here, let them compete with the Yue people for arable land, gradually influence Manyue, and force them to accept education. Only in this way can they be stable and stable."
Qin Ge nodded repeatedly. "Yes, although this method is not innovative, it is very effective. This is how Qin did the development of the northwest border counties."
Liang Xiao was speechless. He always thought this was his own idea, but he didn't expect it was the old trick of Qin. Qin Ge was from Tianshui and the real old Qin. He should have a relatively direct feeling about the history of Qin's border development.
"Yes, this is indeed a practical solution." Liang Xiao smiled. "Combined with the current situation, there is another practical significance. The land annexation of the counties in the mainland is serious, and countless people have lost their land and cannot survive. Migrating them to border counties to expand border counties can not only solve the troops and food of border counties and open up new sources of wealth, but also alleviate the crisis in the mainland, gain more time, and avoid the situation from getting worse."
"Yes." Qin Ge clapped his hands and praised: "This is indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone. A Xiao, I didn't expect that you not only shoot arrows well, but also know the economy. No wonder you can make so much money when you first arrived in Chang'an."
"Haha, economy is the foundation, politics is the superstructure." Liang Xiao laughed.
"It makes sense." Qin Ge seemed to understand but listened with relish. He looked at no one around and whispered: "A Xiao, no wonder the emperor valued you. You have more knowledge than us. Have you really never read a book?"
"Uh... there are some truths that you don't have to read to know. Sometimes reading too much is not a good thing."
"It makes sense." Qin Ge smiled with his palm. "A Xiao, I just like to listen to you. Every word is spoken to my heart. It's like I want to say it myself, but I can't say it, just by tying it out of your mouth."
"Hahaha..." Liang Xiao also laughed.
"Why are you laughing at, so happy?" Zhong Liqi walked over from afar, followed by two young Yue people with naked upper bodies and tattoos. "You are still so happy as a prisoner. You are really not surprised."
Qin Ge suddenly stood up, pressed his sword in his hand, eager to try. "Zhongli, try again?"
Zhong Liqi glanced at him and ignored him. "A Xiao, General wants to see you."
Liang Xiao quickly stood up. "What's wrong with me when the master sees me?"
"How could I know." Zhong Liqi said impatiently: "You just come with me, but I'm afraid that the general will not be able to eat you. The general is very concerned about you and pays more attention to you than his own eyes."
Liang Xiao was happy. He turned around and entered the account and asked Yan Zhu for instructions. Yan Zhu did not stop him, but just told Liang Xiao to be more careful and ask Huan Yuan for some information as much as possible to prepare for the next negotiation. Liang Xiao responded, turned around and left the account, and followed Zhongliqi down the hillside.
