On the way back to Chang'an, the general screamed:
"What?!"
It broke the dull air in the team.
Yu Wenyong couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his buzzing ears, and the general hurriedly knelt down in the carriage to apologize.
Yu Wenyong waved his hand and asked him to sit down.
After the general sat down, he was still surprised by what Yu Wenyong had just said.
Just now, Yu Wenyong watched the general happily talking about the peaceful coexistence with the soldiers of Kunyu Kingdom, talking about the delicious food, especially the ice foam fruit, and was full of praise:
"Master Zhuo said that it would taste better if it was made in cans. I want to try it when I get back."
Yu Wenyong suddenly said calmly:
"We lost this battle with Kunyu Kingdom," he paused for a moment, "At least here in Nanguan, we lost."
The general was stunned:
"Why did you lose? Hasn't the fight started yet?"
Yu Wenyong shook his head:
"No, General Zhuo has already taken action."
The general thought for a while, but he really didn't understand:
"Your Majesty, please make it clear."
Yu Wenyong smiled:
"It is true that General Zhuo did not launch a battle against us as we thought, nor did he fire a single shot at us, but what he attacked was our military morale."
The general was even more puzzled. Military morale was not a substantial thing, so how could he attack? He looked at Yu Wenyong blankly.
Yu Wenyong explained patiently:
"Do you think that if a war starts now, the soldiers in Nanguan will still have the morale to fight against Kunyu Kingdom?"
The general was stunned, yes, now the two armies are getting along well with each other, not to mention the two armies, and the people of Kunyu Kingdom are getting along very well. Before the withdrawal, even the defense was loose.
He shook his head honestly:
"It's probably impossible to fight."
Yu Wenyong smiled and said:
"This is General Zhuo's tactics. Not only the soldiers, but also you are convinced to call him Master Zhuo."
The general ran back and forth in his mind for several times before he finally figured it out and exclaimed:
"What?!"
The general said with a frustrated look:
"I never expected that I, who have been on the battlefield for a long time, would fall into the trap like this! Or I fell into the trap without knowing it. If His Majesty hadn't cleared up the confusion, I would still have been kept in the dark and wouldn't have noticed it at all!"
Yu Wenyong smiled and said nothing. Although this situation also contained elements of his indulgence, by the time he realized it, they had already fallen into the trap. Yu Wenyong had to admire Master Zhuo.
The general still looked unbelievable and said:
"It is rumored that General Zhuo is good at attacking the morale of the army and disrupting morale. It is true! It is true!"
Yu Wenyong looked at his depressed look and said with a smile:
"General, there is no need to be depressed. We had no intention of fighting the Kunyu Kingdom this time. Thinking about it from another perspective, didn't the general think this battle was exciting? Didn't the general learn anything from it?"
The general saw that Yu Wenyong had no intention of blaming him, and his heart relaxed. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but smile:
"It's indeed wonderful," he suddenly burst into laughter. "Master Zhuo is indeed Master Zhuo! I admire him! I admire him!"
The group of people wandered back to Chang'an in great force. By the end of August, the eating method of ice foam fruit brought back by the soldiers quickly spread in Chang'an and was deeply loved by the people. Later, with Chang'an as the center, it spread to all parts of the country.
Yu Wenyong looked at the huge increase in taxes and said to the general:
"It seems we haven't suffered any loss either."
The general smiled bitterly and shook his head.
When Yu Wenyong was still in Nanguan to contain Kun Yu, he learned in August that Qi was expecting a major flood in the six states of Hebei, Ding, Zhao, You, Cang, and Ying. He took the opportunity to test the Qi state, marched towards the Qi state, and approached Luocheng.
Wei sent fireboats to burn the pontoon bridges on the Yellow River to block the road. In the intercalary eighth month, Gao Wei sent his right prime minister Gao Anagong from Jinyang to resist the Zhou army, but the Zhou army retreated at night.
After the Zhou army entered the territory of Qi State, it was strictly disciplined and did not disturb the people. Qi State had been in darkness for many years. After the arrival of such an army, it was like a ray of sunshine poured into the hearts of the people and was quite popular. However, Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty Yu Wenyong returned to the army due to illness.
However, such a move did not attract the attention of the state of Qi. Gao Wei was obsessed with music and beauty, or was obsessed with music and beauty; Gao Anagong united with Mutipo, and Han Feng controlled the government, and they were known as the "Three Nobles".
In the court, how to eliminate dissidents, how to eliminate dissidents; how Feng Xiaolian used his body to seduce Gao Wei, how to seduce... These monsters and monsters, did not realize at all that the shadow of Da Zhou had already spread over them.
When Yu Wenyong was thinking about attacking Qi, the general said:
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you can ask the Kunyu Kingdom to send troops to join forces?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at the general in confusion.
In front of so many people, the general cannot of course say: Master Zhuo plotted against us last year, we have to get back on our feet!
Seeing that Yu Wenyong also had a confused look on his face and did not understand his purpose of wanting Kun Yuguo to join, he thought for a while and said:
"Last time we fought against Kunyu Kingdom, we were just trying to contain them and did not use force. This time we asked Kunyu Kingdom to join us, not because we wanted them to actually fight, but mainly because we wanted them to watch and see that we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are also very powerful.
, it’s not something they can cause.”
Everyone thought this was a good idea, and they didn't need to contribute. They could just stand aside and watch. However, after Yu Wenyong turned around in his mind, he understood what the general meant. He looked at the general clearly, which made the general a little embarrassed.
, lowered his head in embarrassment.
Ning Yan received a letter from Yuwen Yong, saying that they were preparing for war with Qi State, and hoped that Kun Yu State could help them to boost the momentum of the Zhou army. Ning Yan was very puzzled. As far as they knew, the number of the Zhou army was
It's quite a lot. The total military strength of the Kunyu Kingdom is not as large as that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Why do they still need them to boost their momentum?
Call everyone together to discuss.
Ruliang said:
"I think it's not that Da Zhou really lacks people to fill up their numbers, but they want us, Kunyu Kingdom, to see how powerful Da Zhou is and regain the place they lost in Nanguan last year."
Le Zhengxi nodded in agreement:
"I think Ru Liang is right!"
Dun'er has now taken over Ru Yuan's previous position as Minister of Household Affairs, and can also participate in some core small conference rooms.
Ning Yan asked Duner:
"How about the finances? Can you support this troop dispatch?"
Dun'er figured it out and said:
"Since Dazhou is just trying to regain ground, we don't need to send too many troops. I suggest that a thousand troops are enough."
Ning Yan nodded:
"A thousand people will be enough," he asked everyone, "Which of you wants to go out for a walk?"
Xuan's eyes were focused on Ning Yan, but Ning Yan deliberately turned a blind eye and asked Jiang Wu:
"Master Jiang, are you going? You were there at Nanguan."
When everyone was guarding Nanguan, Ning Qing gave birth to a daughter. Jiang Wu was busy fighting for his granddaughter with Jiang Zu. He was afraid that he would have a granddaughter when he came back from a trip, so he shook his head firmly:
"If I have something to do at home, I won't go."
When Jiang Cu heard this, he immediately said:
"Dad has been working hard for most of his life. It's good to go out for a walk. Anyway, there is nothing wrong this time. It's just a good time to relax."
Jiang Wu's eyes stood up and he stared at Jiang Nu and said:
"What do you mean, kid? Do you think your granddaughter won't kiss me in the future?"
