Chapter 841: King of Han invited King Xun to hunt
The Xun Kingdom has no longer much time to prepare.
The Han envoy who came to "Mo" asked to see Zhongzhan Wu. Although he was dragged down for a while, after Wang Han said that he would return to China without receiving the meeting, Zhongzhan Wu had no choice but to receive it.
Wang Han sent a hunting invitation to King Xun on behalf of the Han King, and the location was set in the middle area between "Yuan" and "Wen".
At present, "original" belongs to the Han Dynasty, which means that Lu Wu received "original" and replaced the Zhao family. Zhao family replaced the "original" with the Fan family. Fan family exchanged fiefs with the Han family, and then refuted them to the end, "original" still belonged to Lu Wu.
The "Wen" is currently a city belonging to Fan State, which is the case where the population from the residential population to the defensive army still belongs to Fan's family. Unlike the Xun State who controlled South Korea, it still belongs to South Korea in name.
"The battlefield is planned to be a favorable battle here, and there is no need to destroy the livelihood of the two countries." Wang Han said.
The terrain over there is vast and relatively flat. If you want to say anything bad for Xun State, the Taihang Mountains are in the northeast of the battlefield. Xun's army would be restricted by the terrain if they wanted to run halfway through the battle.
Wu Minke of the Bank of China discovered that the battlefield was harmful to him there, especially not only the disadvantages in terms of terrain, but also the battlefield was right next to the Zhou royal family and the nobles, which could easily allow the countries to see the direction of the war.
If Xun State had to choose, they would be more willing to let the Han army attack the pass of "Hukou". However, they knew that Lu Wu would not bite the tough problem. They could go to the riverside and penetrate the "Mo" directly, and even go to the original guards to rage.
There were many cavalry units in the Han Dynasty, and the mobile advantage was unmatched by the Xun State's army, which led to the Bank of China Wu falling into hesitation.
Wu Wen of the Bank of China said, "Does Fan Hou have no objection?"
Wang Han just laughed and said nothing.
Is this a matter still Fan Guo’s turn to choose?
The Han Dynasty did not control the city of Fanguo north of the "Hulao". Not only did it not send a large army to try to seize it, but it also did not contact the nobles of those cities.
It’s not because Lu Wu is kind-hearted. He pays attention to one step in everything he does. The war between Han and Xun is inevitable. Why do we need to stimulate Fan more at this time?
Xun Kingdom controlled one-third of the cities in South Korea. They failed to effectively digest it. It was the turn of war with the Han Kingdom about to break out. Isn’t it just a hidden danger?
As long as the Han Kingdom can defeat Xun Kingdom, even if the entire Xun Kingdom cannot be abolished for a while, the Han Kingdom will not need to seize the city of Fan Kingdom north of the "Hulao". At that time, Fan Yang would probably beg Lu Wu to take most of the cities of Fan Kingdom to leave a suitable fief for the Fan family.
Of course, Lu Wu knew that there would be hidden dangers if he didn't seize it. For example, Fan Guo stood on the side of Xun Guo because the "Hulao" was controlled by the Han army and could not dispatch troops from south to north. The gathering of Fan Guo's army north of the "Hulao" could also cause trouble for the Han country.
But relatively speaking, if they are not forced to do so, or if they don’t see the possibility of Xun Guo’s victory, they will just continue to wait and dare not place bets easily.
"So..." Wu, the Zhongxingwu pondered for a moment, stood up and said, "I would like to go and hunt with the King of Han."
Wang Han gave a tribute and said he was leaving.
In the following stage, Wu from the Bank of China summoned the nobles from all over the country to "Mo" and delivered a critical speech to them.
What a pity, Wu of the Bank of China did not know what it means to "Although the territory of Xun Kingdom is large, there is 'Mo' behind us, and we have no choice but to retreat. The motherland is calling you!" Otherwise, we can be sensational.
Of course, it is not useless to play sensationalism with the nobles. Using the monarch’s authority to command and taking out enough benefits to tempt is far more realistic than doing things.
Wu of the Central Bank promised the nobles that he would definitely give a heavy reward if he could defeat the Han Kingdom. Once he could defeat the Han Kingdom and seize the city, he would be whoever seized it.
The scene was very lively at that time, and it looked like the nobles of Xun State were eager to fight, defeating the Han army and then storming them into the Han State for various purposes.
Wu, who looked pleased, was thinking in his heart: "How many people will secretly communicate with the Han Dynasty before the war begins, and how many people will turn against each other?"
Why did Wu of the Bank of China think so? Of course, the reason is that there are also nobles in the Han Kingdom who contacted Xun Kingdom. More than 99% were the aristocrats who defected from South Korea to Han Kingdom. Some Han Kingdom aristocrats felt uncomfortable staying in the Han Kingdom and wanted to change their families.
The Han Kingdom looks so powerful and can do that. How could the Xun Kingdom, which looks bad, lack a surrender faction?
This is the trouble of being one source, especially the time for division is so short. Only when the royal family surrendered at the highest level will lose too much, and the aristocratic class can change their families and maintain their home business without any psychological burden.
The time for hunting was confirmed in late spring in 537 BC.
In 538 BC, due to the completion of the "Chang Canal", the Han Dynasty conducted statistics after harvesting the grain during the harvest season, and the national grain production increased six times compared with last year.
The reason is six times the reason is of course that all the farmlands reclaimed around the "Changqu" are planted with grain, and then there will be a rotation rest, that is, some farmlands are freed out in a planned manner to raise the land and only cultivate the part that they are willing to plant.
If nothing unexpected happens, because the completion and put into use of the "Changqu" will be completed and put into use, the total national grain output before the "Changqu" should be maintained at about three times.
The surge in grain production not only made Lu Wu happy, but the subjects who learned the news could be said to be ecstatic.
"In this way, my army will go to war without worries!" Lu Wu said.
What Lu Wu wanted was that the army was not short of food, while the rest of the people were happy that they would not have to be afraid of hunger. They would dare to work harder to create people with enough food.
There is no medal of "Great Mother" in the Han Dynasty. From the third child, there will be relevant assistance. This means that the more children a family will give birth to, the more assistance they will get, and the husband can also get a title promotion.
To put it bluntly, Han Dynasty needed more population, and even if the medical conditions still did not keep up, it still adopted a policy of granting more children.
In the current era, a lot of people means great power, and it is not to sell a house.
"The king, King Xun summoned the nobles to Mo and ordered everyone to enlist them all, as if they were not concerned about "envious" and were all people who could fight." Cui Zhu felt that everything displayed by the information was too ridiculous.
The Xun Kingdom not only recruited young and middle-aged men, but also recruited women, and they looked completely crazy.
After reading the relevant information, Lu Wu must be said to be a little confused for a moment.
What are you doing!
Without training, I don’t know if I can get a weapon in my hands. What are we going to do if so many people are recruited?
If it is a guerrilla warfare, there is no need to pay too much attention to the quality of the participants. Those who play the role are also living. If you can always live, you can create value.
Now the Han army is going to hunt with Xun army and fight that kind of upright positional war. Wu of the Bank of China gathered so many people, but his role is very limited, right?
