After listening to the words of National Master Zhang Jianghe, Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but look thoughtful on his face.
Just listen to Zhang Jianghe continue to say: "Furthermore, the Tang Dynasty is strong. Although this is our opportunity, it may not be successful. And if we pretend to unite with Tuyuhun in advance, Tuyuhun will definitely launch a war against the Tang Dynasty."
"When the time comes, we stab Tuyuhun in the back and we will be able to easily capture Tuyuhun. If the Tang Dynasty is powerful and can easily defeat the Turks and Tuyuhun, we will not suffer any loss and can capture Tuyuhun."
"If the Tang Dynasty is weak, we can march straight in and establish our hegemony in one fell swoop! If we send troops to Tuyuhun, at least we can capture Tuyuhun and we will definitely not gain nothing!"
After listening to the analysis of National Master Zhang Jianghe again, Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and looked up to the sky with a long smile.
After a long while, he said: "I have a national advisor, and I am like a fish in water! In ancient times, there was Zhuge Kongming, and now there is Zhang Jianghe! Today's national advisor's plan is no less than Zhuge Kongming's three-thirds of the world!"
Zhang Jianghe smiled slightly and said humbly: "Zan Pu is wrong. My subordinates are very talented and have little knowledge. How can they dare to compare with Zhuge Kongming? However, although this strategy is good, there is still one person who needs to be careful."
Songtsen Gampo had a thoughtful look on his face and asked: "The master said, Li Min, the king of Shu?"
Zhang Jianghe nodded and said: "Yes, this King of Shu Li Min is a huge variable. According to the news heard by our spies, the mysterious weapons used by King Li Min of Shu in Yizhou are now in other armies of the Tang Dynasty.
It’s not equipped.”
"This shows that there are not many such weapons in the Tang Dynasty, even though they are difficult to make. But now we need to know how many such weapons are there in Yizhou and how many times they can be used? Only by understanding this can we
Feel free to use your troops against the Tang Dynasty."
After listening to Zhang Jianghe's words, Songtsen Gampo also showed a solemn expression on his face.
Yes, Shu King Li Min is a huge variable here.
The secret weapon in the hands of King Shu Li Min is really too sharp.
If he has a large number of such weapons in his hands, then they should not think about anything and just go to bed quickly.
But now a year has passed, and the Tang army is not equipped with such weapons.
That means they don't have many of these weapons in their hands. They need to find out how many of these weapons they have in order to designate their battle plan.
Thinking of this, Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if the military advisor can think of a plan?"
Hearing Songtsen Gampo's inquiry, Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but said: "Zanpu, I have a plan, I hope it will work."
After that, he whispered to Songtsen Gampo for a long time.
After listening to Zhang Jianghe's strategy, Songtsan Gampo couldn't help but nod his head.
…
Now, the shadows of locusts can be seen vaguely in the mountains, on the tidal flats, and even in the fields.
The people were fearful and uneasy, and even the crime rate was much higher.
But at this moment, Yizhou Monthly published a piece of news in a timely manner.
Yizhou will send people to buy locusts at a high price. A pound of dried locusts costs 15 cents.
As soon as the news came out, the people couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Although the locusts haven't grown up yet, they can't handle the large numbers.
If the whole family takes action, catching ten or eight pounds a day will definitely not be a problem.
You can earn one or two hundred cents a day.
With money, they can buy food to eat.
By then, even if grain production is reduced, they will still have money to buy grain.
Well, as for the excessive reduction in grain production, the question of where they can buy grain has been ignored for the time being.
Now, they don't dare to think about this problem at all.
In short, the King of Shu purchased the locusts. When they were drowning, the King of Shu extended a hand. How could they miss it?
If someone else had released such news, they might not believe it.
But this is what the King of Shu announced, and no one has any doubts.
The King of Shu will never deceive them.
Therefore, after the news of the acquisition of locusts was released, all the people in the locust-stricken areas were fully mobilized.
For a time, there was a nationwide craze to catch locusts.
Even those people who were not in the locust plague area, after hearing about this incident, rushed to the locust plague area to get a share of the pie.
Even if a person can only catch a few kilograms of locusts a day, that's still an income of fifty or sixty yuan.
One day's income can keep up with their monthly wages.
Arresting him for more than ten days is enough to earn them a year's wages.
What's more, they can't do more than a few months of work all year round.
Their income in ten days can probably keep up with their savings in several years.
Therefore, as long as they are people who are near the disaster area and within ten or eight days’ journey.
After hearing the news, everyone rushed to the locust plague area to catch the locusts.
In the beginning, they still caught it by hand.
Because locusts are very dense, you can catch quite a few in one day.
However, this efficiency is a bit too low.
Later, they invented using the Internet to connect the Internet. This time, the efficiency was much higher.
At the end of the day, most people can catch dozens of kilograms of locusts, which costs hundreds of dollars a day.
Such a high income further stimulates the enthusiasm of the people.
They even refused to rest at night and lit torches until midnight.
There were even many people who worked all night to capture them.
Because they discovered that once the locust plague broke out, locusts were overwhelming.
But actually when it came to capturing them, it seemed like they couldn't help but do so...
The harvest was very rich in the first few days, but it became sparse as time went on, and the income dropped sharply.
If you don't seize the time, you really won't be able to seize much.
Of course, once you catch it, you can't just sell it.
It must be cooked first and then dried before it can be sold.
Suddenly, the locust plague area was filled with the scent of locusts.
And the victims in the locust plague area are scrambling one by one, racing against time, and struggling to catch the locusts.
Even the children were holding nets and following behind the adults to help.
The elderly at home stayed at home to boil water, cook the locusts, and dry them in the sun.
In the entire locust-stricken area, apart from young children waiting for food and bedridden old people, there was not a single idle person at all.
And their harvest was also rich.
The King of Shu really sent people to buy locusts.
Their daily income is quite high.
Seeing the continuous flow of copper coins entering their wallets every day, these victims are both tired and happy. Where can you see the look of sadness on their faces?
The acquired locusts were quickly sent back to Yizhou City via the nearest railway.
But now in Yizhou, there are locust feasts every day, and the prices have dropped a lot.
