Chapter 119 Landa Real Person

Jinque has not discussed the appointment of the Dazhenren, the head of the Borneo Dafu, and there is no news from the Dazhenzong, which means that the Landa Zhenren cannot ascend for the time being. It can only be said that the Landa Zhenren has this intention.

According to the example of Jiang Dazhenren, it took nearly a year from the intention of becoming a successor to the real ascension of Jiang Dazhenren, from the Supreme Yuan Festival to the Second Yuan Festival. There is still a situation where the candidates are suitable for successors. If there is no candidate for successor, then Landa Zhenren will continue to stick to it for a while.

So Qi Xuansu didn't ask about the specific time. This time is not something that can be decided by Landa Real Person. Landa Real Person decides at most one of the latest time, and the rest depends on the results of communication and negotiation.

Qi Xuansu asked to meet Lan Da Zhenren this time, and then talked about the matter about Posa Forum.

The Master Lan Da was not surprised. Maybe he would get the news earlier than the Master. After all, Borneo is next to the Posa Forum, and the Lan family has a deep foundation in Posa Forum. Although the Master Lan Da is not the Master Lan Da’s Mansion, most of the children of the Lan family still work in the Dosa Forum. The Master Lan Da has no reason and does not know about this.

Qi Xuansu wanted to get the support of Landa Zhenren, but also asked for advice from Landa Zhenren. Sometimes, it would be no harm to listen to the old man’s opinions more. Even if he did not agree, he could play a role in exploring the secrets.

Lan Da Zhenren did not express his opinion directly, but went around in a circle: "Li Yaoshi said back then that historians did not know about military affairs. Therefore, historical books of all dynasties always have many imaginations about large-scale wars, and many styles of writing in the Spring and Autumn Period, which made people confused. Tianyuan, you should know the story of Wu'anjun killing 400,000 surrendered soldiers. In your opinion, why did King Zhao change his commander in the last battle? Don't King Zhao know that this is a taboo in military strategist?"

Qi Xuansu had never thought about this problem, so he had to say, "I haven't thought about this problem."

Lan Da Zhenren said: "The historical books evaluate Zhao State as 'fearing Qin like a tiger'. Since they are afraid of Qin State, the Shangdang area is an unexpected gain, so it is a good ending to be able to stand stalemate. Why did King Zhao be eager to fight and even refuse to redeem the commander at the last minute?"

Qi Xuansu thought carefully for a long time before saying, "This is not something that can be explained by the king's stupidity, nor is it something that can be explained by the plan of disagreement. Even if King Zhao is confused, other ministers in the country will dissuade him. However, this change of commander was surprisingly smooth, which means that it is not that King Zhao is determined to act alone, but the consensus of the government and the opposition. The only reason is that Zhao State can't hold on any longer."

Lan Da Zhenren said: "This is a correct solution. For every additional soldier, not only will the rear be less labor force, but also several labor force must be distributed to support this soldier. With Zhao's national strength for a long time, the result is that the rear production collapses completely and cannot be sustained. If this battle had not been at the end of the battle and the high-level officials were seriously shaken, a strategy of disagreement would have allowed Zhao to change its commander in the last battle? Could it be that Qin could not have given this little money and had to fight it so badly that it would come up with this strategy?"

The real man from Lan Da picked up a book on the desk and read, "When Kuo was about to go, his mother wrote to the king and said, "Guo should not be used by General."

"The king said, 'Why?'

"And replied, 'Now, once the general is a general, he faces eastward, and no military officer dares to look up to it. The king gave the gold and silk to hide it at home, and said that he would buy it if he is convenient for land and houses. Why is the king like his father? The father and son have different intentions, and I hope the king will not send him away.'

"The king said, 'Mother put it on, I have decided.'"

"Kuo's mother said, "After the king sent him, he would have no choice but to give him a promise, will I not sit there?" The king promised.

"This is a letter from Kuo's mother to King Zhao, saying that her son's ethics is not good, and she is not worthy of being a general. The scholars and officials value reputation. How could the mother say that her son is like this? To put it bluntly, the mother already knew that her son was going to die. She wanted to defame herself and save her life. Unfortunately, the King of Zhao had made up her mind. Kuo's mother could only retreat and asked not to sit back. King Zhao agreed.

"Then the young general who knew he could not do it but did it, replaced the old general who knew he could not do it but did not do it. You know what happened next. The key to winning or losing this battle is not in the battlefield but in the court. The battle is also about food and supplies support. If the support is not good, then this battle will be defeated."

Qi Xuansu sighed: "Conspiracy, little Tao. When the Five-generation Masters landed on Posa Fortress, they almost came to the city of St. George, but in the end they did not do their best. The reason was that the supply line was too long. As the saying goes, one ten grain transported thousands of miles apart, and the supply line of the Daomen could not keep up. The masters of the Five-generation Masters could not cook without rice. They could only discuss peace and divide the Posa Fortress."

Landa Zhenren said: "Whether there is food is one thing, and whether it can be transported with food is another. The word "grain" here is just a false reference, not about food, but nowadays, it refers more to financial problems. The Grand Master said it is right. The financial problems of the Taoist sect are very serious. The victory or defeat of Posa Forum is not on the battlefield but on the temple. If you really want to fight, even if the Taoist sect has a million troops, it is not a question of fearing anyone like a tiger. If the finances are not good, you will fall into the situation of the Qin and Zhao countries back then, and you will be unable to continue and strive for a quick decision. This is a bit of a bet on the national fortune."

Qi Xuansu understood what Lan Da Zhenren meant - Lan Da Zhenren did not agree with the war, and the Dao Sect's finances were no longer enough to support a large-scale war.

It’s not that Qi Xuansu is a war madman and must fight, but Qi Xuansu needs to understand something in combination with the views of all parties. There is no doubt that the master of the great master represents the view of Jinque. Jinque is too high and not down-to-earth, and may not understand the actual situation. For example, the several Liaodong wars during the Wei Dynasty were all failed due to misjudgment by the central court, so Qi Xuansu came to ask the local representative of Lan Da Zhenren.

Now both the central and local governments believe that they cannot fight, which means that they really cannot fight. Qi Xuansu can clarify his bottom line during negotiations. At the same time, Qi Xuansu also roughly understands that this conflict may be another test of the Holy Court.

The Holy Court has always been determined to be a sect in the Dead. From the Jiangnan case to the Fenglinzhou war, from the war in the north and south to the war in the Western Regions, the Holy Court has always been wandering. This time the Holy Court is tempted on the border again.

In the words of Shengting himself, this is the last window period. If you really wait until the Taoist sect integrates internally, you will miss the best opportunity.

In fact, the Holy Court also knew that there was no result to be achieved. It was impossible to attack the Central Plains and shake the foundation of the Taoist Sect. However, Westerners have always been insatiable and their internal stability is not at ease, so it does not prevent them from continuing to expand outward. It is better to eat a little more. What's more, in their opinion, the Taoist Sect stabbed itself twice in the back. Once in the Posa Continent, one Dongposa Continent was divided into one Dongposa Continent. The other was the New Continent, and the Southern Continent.

In short, the Holy Court and the Taoist Sect can be considered a battle without breaking. When dealing with the Holy Court, you cannot reveal your trump card and have to bluff.

The Grand Master's sect Qi Xuansu's negotiation this time is essentially a bit bluffing. Qi Xuansu is very famous, and even Westerners know that it is known that letting such a hardliner be responsible for the negotiations means that the Taoist sect is not afraid of a battle.

As the saying goes, stopping war, and the Taoist sect is tough, and peace can be achieved.

However, being tough is not just about being tough to the end, but also about strategy. Toughness is not the end, peace is the end.

Lan Da Zhenren said a meaningful sentence at last: "It is not so easy for the great master to focus on solving internal problems, but it is not so easy to bridge the division of the Taoist sect. In the eyes of many Taoist sects, the so-called "Tao disciple" is just a propaganda term, not an entity, and may also have meaning to the outside world, no matter whether the "outside" is an external enemy or an ordinary person. However, when it is internal, the identity of this Taoist disciple does not have practical significance. What is the group identity that is truly practical? In the broad sense, it is Taiping Tao, Quanzhen Tao, and the righteous Tao, and in the short sense, it is the inheritance of various families and masters. These truly determine a person's real situation in the Taoist sect.

"The great master, the great master's wife, Qingwei Zhenren, you, Qingxiao, you all want to bridge the division of the Taoist sect. It would be impossible not to solve this problem. Xuan Sheng proposed to abolish three ways and ended in vain. Five generations of great masters attacked the aristocratic families, the people were destroyed, and even the reputation behind him was almost unable to be saved. What good methods do you have?"

Qi Xuansu was speechless for a long time and didn't know how to answer.
