I’m The King Chapter 1282: : Carrying on the past and ushering in the future (one hundred and seventy-two) adding fuel to the flames

Guo Yun bid farewell and left. Only Gao Yuan and Cao Tianci were left in the Xiaoyao Pavilion. Looking at the thoughtful Gao Yuan, Cao Tianci hesitated to speak. He wanted to speak several times, but he endured it go back. Seeing Cao Tianci's appearance, Gao Yuan smiled: "Tianci, is there anything you don't understand? Ask if you have any questions, don't keep it in your heart. There shouldn't be anything we can't talk about between you and me, right? "

Cao Tianci nodded, "Master, I just don't understand why it takes so much trouble? Now, regardless of national strength or military strength, we have an absolute advantage over Qin. If we concentrate our superior forces It is not very difficult to destroy Qin with all the power of the whole country, but I think what Master is doing now does not mean to attack on a large scale, but to try to promote civil strife in Qin. Why is this not simple? Some?"

"Easier?" Gao Yuan laughed, looked at Cao Tianci, and asked gently: "What you said is simpler, is it to send a large army to attack?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. The First Military Region has assembled almost most of our country's elite troops. The morale and weaponry on the opposite side can't be compared with Lu Chao. Why don't you just fight there?" Cao Tianci asked.

"It's easy to fight in the past, but have you ever thought about how much we will have to pay while winning?" Gao Yuan played with a folding fan and looked at Cao Tianci.

"There is always a price to pay for fighting." Cao Tianci said disapprovingly.

"Yes, there is always a price to pay, but as superiors, as commanders who only discuss how to fight in the war room, should we consider how to minimize casualties?"

"Of course. But it's impossible without casualties."

"Godsend, the life of every Han Chinese is precious. If one person can be saved from death, one person will die. It is not impossible to push the past now, but the price I pay is not willing to bear. You are also a person who has experienced it from the front line. After every battle is won, we are cheering for victory. But behind us, there are countless families who lost their sons, husbands, and fathers. Are you thinking about this again?" Gao Yuan Slowly.

Cao Tianci was stunned for a while. Finally, he shook his head embarrassingly.

"Victory is not only cheering, but also loss." Gao Yuan said every word. "Although the state of Qin is in danger, a centipede is dead but not stiff. If we are really faced with the situation of our army overwhelming the country, we will fight hard, not to mention the auxiliary victory. The casualties of our army will inevitably be too great for us to bear."

Cao Tianci lowered his head, apparently still a little unconvinced.

"Tianci, do you still remember the battle when we encircled and suppressed Li Xin on the grassland?" Gao Yuan stood up, walked to the window, supported the window lattice with both hands, looked at the lotus leaves swaying in the wind, and frowned slightly rise.

"Of course I remember, Li Signal is known as the number one military **** in the world. Under your strategizing, master, he will still be defeated." Cao Tianci became excited.

"I'm asking if you still remember the scene back then!" Gao Yuan said angrily, "Maybe you only remember the victory cheers at that time, but I still remember when Li Xin was besieged, there were only a thousand people around him." When there were only three soldiers, those soldiers sang war songs, gathered in formation, and charged us."

"It's just that the trapped beast is still fighting, and the dog is eager to jump over the wall." Cao Tianci said disdainfully: "Master, why do you remember this?"

"Why do you remember this?" Gao Yuan murmured to himself, "The hearts of the Qin people still exist! Even if it is a temporary failure, it will not make them discouraged, because they firmly believe that they will win the final victory. This is the accumulation of victories over decades, just like our big man now Like the army."

"But master, what does this have to do with our attack on Qin? The left and right are just fighting one by one, slowly wiping out their spirit." Cao Tianci said.

"What you said is a way, but if you continue to fight like this, you can kill one thousand enemies and harm yourself by eight hundred. A wise man will do nothing." Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "What I'm doing now is to discourage the people of Qin. , Depressed, let them fall into civil strife and cannot extricate themselves, let them gradually lose their sense of identity with this country, when this is done, maybe we only need a very small number of troops and pay a negligible price to get what we want victory." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "It will take longer and require our patience, but we will get more. First, we will minimize the loss and countless families will be saved. Second, Well, after the Qin people lost their recognition of this country, after we brought him into the territory of the Han Dynasty, we will get twice the result with half the effort. On the contrary, we will get twice the result with half the effort, like you As mentioned, I am afraid that after we conquer Qin, there will be wars and riots everywhere? We will spend countless efforts to suppress them."

Cao Tianci had a little realization, "Master, you want to deal with Qi and Wei, right?"

"The reason is the same, but the method is different." Gao Yuan said: "In the past few years, we have been working hard to do one thing, which is to destroy Qin's economy. After several years of unremitting efforts, we finally saw results. China's economy has been eroded and destroyed by us bit by bit. Of course, there are also their own reasons. This move forced Yingying to use Fan Sui to reform, and this is exactly what we want. Times are different, we What can be done in the Han state may not be able to be made in the Qin state, and now it seems that this is the case, and the Qin state has begun to be chaotic."

Cao Tianci nodded and said: "Yes, represented by Shu County, the peasant uprising in Qin State has spread like a spark and started a prairie fire. This is why I think the opportunity has come."

"It's far from enough." Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "Qin's power is still there, Lu Chao, Tan Feng, Zhou Yu, Bai Qi, the army in the hands of these Qin generals is not in chaos. When we attack aggressively, these people will inevitably give up internal fighting and turn to deal with us together, which will greatly increase our difficulty, and the increase in foreign aggression will also arouse the patriotism of the people of Qin. The contradiction has shifted to foreign wars."

"But master, how can you be sure that Lu Chao will have evil intentions?" Cao Tianci said puzzledly. "Just because he is self-reliant now? He quietly smuggled weapons, steel, and collected these strategic materials. Maybe he used these to deal with us, and then we would shoot ourselves in the foot."

Gao Yuan laughed loudly: "Tianci, you have to learn to look at things from a higher perspective now. Lu Chao, hehe, I'm afraid no one knows him better than me. I'm afraid from Yingying After using Fan Sui, Lu Chao began to have strange thoughts. He saw that the Li School was about to face the risk of being suppressed in Qin State. I am afraid that from then on, he began to make arrangements. Speaking of which, Li Confucianism is famous all over the world, whether it is governing the country or studying, he is a master, but when it comes to intrigue and conspiracy, I am afraid that his disciple is much better than him."

"Master, I don't quite understand." Cao Tianci shook his head.

"Li Ru's death from illness is a signal. Once Li Ru died, Ying Ying restarted Fan Sui without the mountain on his head. But at this time, Lu Chao could prevent Fan Sui from restoring, but he just didn't do it. On the contrary, it indirectly contributed to Fan Sui's return to the court. At that time, I was thinking, as the new banner bearer of the Li School, would Lu Chao really be willing to give in? You know, if Fan Sui succeeded, then Lu Chao would not. Considering the current glory and power, it is conceivable that Fan Sui will definitely suppress Lu Chao and completely disintegrate the Li School after he succeeds."

"I have always been skeptical about this. With Fan Sui taking over the government smoothly, several core figures of the Li School in the court were dismissed, and after the Li School that had ruled Qin for decades collapsed in an instant, I finally Sure, what does Lu Chao want to do."

"What does he want to do?"

"It's very simple. Those Li Schools didn't really disintegrate, but they were giving in premeditatedly, deliberately letting Fan Sui divide and win over. In fact, they must have other plans, and this plan, of course It was Lu Chao. As for the core figures in the court, they were just discarded by Lu Chao. Fan Sui thought he defeated these people, and reached an agreement with Lu Chao to stabilize Lu Chao. He thought that he could let go of his hands and feet and do a lot of work, but he didn't know that he just fell into Lu Chao's trap. In the center of Qin State, there was indeed no leader of the Li School of thought, but in Qin State , it is still their people who hold the real power, and Fan Sui's reforms will eventually be implemented at the local level. Haven't you seen the final result?"

"Smoke everywhere!"

"Yes, Lu Chao's first step has been reached. Although Fan Sui's reform has only been carried out for less than a year, the result of failure is already doomed. In one year, or in two years, Qin is bound to be in chaos. At that time, it was Lu Chao's opportunity."

"He wants to usurp the position of King Qin?" Cao Tianci asked in disbelief with his eyes widened.

"Who knows~IndoMTL.com~Maybe he wants to be under one person, above ten thousand people, and re-establish the unshakable position of the Li School above the court, maybe just like you said, I became King Qin myself."

"This, is it unlikely?" Cao Tianci shook his head in disbelief.

Gao Yuan laughed, "It sounds a little impossible, but now I see that the only ones standing in front of Lu Chao are Bai Qi's new army and Xianyang's 30,000 Xuanyi guards. Qin Ting's The reform has made the local gods angry and resentful. Whether it is the local tyrants or the common people, they all feel that they have been injured in this reform. The prestige of the King of Qin has been reduced to the lowest. The slogan is not without hope of success.”

"He always wanted to stay away from me, and always thought he was better than me. What I can do, he must think why he can't do it himself?"

Gao Yuan suddenly laughed, "So, let me help this big brother."

"Pushing the waves and fueling the flames!" Cao Tianci's eyes lit up: "The day when Lu Chao succeeds is the time when we attack Qin on a large scale."

"The answer is correct, but there is no prize!" (To be continued.)
