It is easy to become a king, but it is difficult to be a king.
Besides!
After all, I am an outsider, not a member of the Wu family, nor do I have any bloodline from the Wu family.
It is easy to overthrow the Wu family's world, but it will be difficult to keep it. Although he holds the military power of the world, after all, the power of the old nobles cannot be ignored. Although it seems that the power of these people is insignificant, but once it is really necessary
If you fight against these people, you may not be their opponent.
After all, Guo Nian is a military genius. When it comes to politics and economics, he is not necessarily the opponent of these old nobles.
And these old nobles have been with the Wu family for hundreds of years, so naturally they will not change their old owners easily.
Guo Nian nodded: "That's what my father criticized."
"Being a powerful minister, why not?" Guo Yi smiled slightly and said: "Being a powerful minister is enough, so why do you need to think so much? So, you'd better be your regent.
"
"Yes, father!" Guo Nian nodded.
The father and son drank together in the courtyard of the Guo family, but they drank tea instead of wine.
The two talked about everything from astronomy and geography to the overall political situation.
The father is the teacher.
Guo Yi, the father, instilled many advanced ideas into Guo Nian. Although he did not directly change the pattern and environment of the world, he also changed these things in a brief way. He informed Guo Nian of the advanced ideas and thoughts, and Guo Nian
It was implemented through political means and military means, thus affecting the pattern of the entire world.
"Father, the Wu Kingdom has been recuperating for more than ten years now. As the saying goes, after ten years of sharpening the sword, it's time to show it, right?" Guo Nian asked.
"It's time to show off the sword." Guo Yi nodded and said, "Ten years have passed unknowingly since the last war. This time, we really want to let the world take a look at Wu's military power."
"So, my father agrees with me to send troops to Zhao?" Guo Nian asked in surprise.
Because Guo Yi's philosophy has always been peace.
But he didn't expect that Guo Yi would agree to go on an expedition this time.
"It's not to send troops to Zhao, but to force Zhao to fulfill its promise." Guo Yi replied.
"Yes!" Guo Nian nodded.
Guo Nian was extremely excited.
Guo Nian was originally a militant. If Guo Yi had not been asking him to cultivate his health and recuperate, he would not stop and would have used force against Zhao ten years ago. In the past ten years, under Guo Yi's instructions, Guo Nian
I want to recruit soldiers widely in the country and lead the new with the old.
What is the real ten years of sharpening a sword?
In these ten years, the Wu State's more than 300,000 troops suddenly expanded to nearly 800,000. You must know that the entire Wu State has a population of only a few million. Almost all of them can go to the battlefield.
All the young people got involved.
There is quite a spirit of failure or success.
You must know that once these 800,000 troops are destroyed, it will definitely cause a huge blow to the future of Wu State.
Guo Yi's goal was to annex the thirteen cities of Youzhou and encroach on Zhao's territory. Not only that, he also wanted to go all the way north to attack Yan and Qin...
Eight hundred thousand troops!
If you feed war with war, you may end up with an army of one million, or even 1.5 million.
The Kingdom of Wu is no longer the Kingdom of Wu it used to be. With the support of the Guo family, Youzhou City has become the second capital. All the officials in the court have moved to Youzhou City because the regent is in Youzhou City.
In the state capital, the regent was naturally required to participate in the discussions among officials, because King Wu Hui did not intend to pay attention to the affairs of the court at all, but was obsessed with the women in the harem.
The Kingdom of Wu, including the capital, only has four cities. There are hundreds of small towns scattered across a land of more than 100,000 kilometers. The total population is less than four million. But they are all gathered together by force.
800,000 troops.
It can be said that all young adults from sixteen to forty years old have moved to the battlefield.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of this 800,000-strong army is extremely powerful and its combat effectiveness is astonishing.
This time, Guo Nian led the expedition in person.
He personally led an army of 300,000 men and took two veteran generals, Liu Han and Chen Mo, to conquer the Thirteen Cities of Youzhou.
After ten years of recuperation, Zhao State has naturally recovered its strength. Zhao State has always hated Wu State. However, due to the natural dangers of Canyon Pass, Zhao State did not dare to act rashly because they lost dozens of people in Canyon Pass.
Tens of thousands of soldiers. Even after ten years, they did not dare to send troops to Youzhou City again.
After learning that Wu State sent troops to the Thirteen Cities of Youzhou, Zhao State was naturally unwilling to be outdone.
The State of Zhao did not dare to send troops because of the inherent fear of the Canyon Pass. Now you have come out of the Canyon Pass. King Zhao immediately announced that he would appoint several generals and personally lead an army of 500,000 to attack Guo Nian.
The State of Zhao sent an army of 500,000 troops, and what worried them most was not the people of Wu State, but the King of Chu.
The King of Chu was anxious in the court hall.
"Ministers, what do you think?" King Chu asked.
"Your Majesty, this time the Wu State is sterilizing, it must be to get back the promise made by the Zhao State." The right prime minister stood up and said: "We don't need to worry."
"I don't care what he asks for!" King Chu waved his hand and said: "Guo Nian is too impulsive. He really thought that ten years ago he relied on the world of Canyon Pass to destroy hundreds of thousands of Zhao's troops.
Are you invincible in the world? Apart from Canyon Pass, there is a plain as far as the eye can see. Youzhou is thirteen, which has a huge advantage over Zhao."
"This..." Prime Minister You was stunned, not knowing what King Chu was worried about.
The war between the two countries did not involve the state of Chu.
However, how could Prime Minister You know the foresight of the King of Chu? The King of Chu was worried that the State of Wu would come out of the canyon and face the plains. How could the State of Wu be the opponent of the State of Zhao if they fought on the plains?
When the time comes, the army will be defeated like a mountain, and after the country is subjugated, won't the Chu Kingdom also suffer the same misfortune?
Logically speaking, if there is no need for a good peace, why should we fight a war? In the past ten years, the King of Chu has lived a very free and unrestrained life.
The King of Chu smiled bitterly: "If the Kingdom of Wu is destroyed, we will be unlucky."
"Your Majesty, don't worry." Prime Minister Right immediately smiled and said, "The Kingdom of Wu will not be destroyed."
"Why?" King Chu asked.
"Today's Wu State is no longer what it used to be." Prime Minister Right smiled slightly and said: "In the past ten years, Wu State has strived to develop and work hard to govern. Its military strength has been improved by several levels. Now, they have eight
A hundred thousand troops."
"Eight hundred thousand?" King Chu shook his head and said, "It's easy to get an army of 800,000. I can recruit it within a year. However, good generals are hard to find, and elite soldiers are hard to find."
How smart is the King of Chu?
He is in a high position, so how can he not understand that good generals are hard to find and good soldiers are hard to find?
Although the Wu State has an empty army of 800,000, but without talented and capable generals, the 800,000 army will not be able to play its role at all. If the 800,000 army are all useless soldiers, old, weak and sick
He is disabled and probably has no fighting ability at all.
