In the afternoon, Chen Xu brought Niu Dashi and Liu Po ​​back from the county town, and then, as usual, rode a horse to patrol various units in the town. After that, he did not go to Wang Jian and others, but came to the ink making workshop with cowhide glue and a few things, preparing to study the production of ink blocks.

It was dark again when time was negligent. Wang Jian and others seemed to be addicted to picking tigers yesterday. Before the sun set, they came to the river beach early. Because they had already made an appointment yesterday, the canteen helpers had already prepared enough. As usual, several pots of marinated meat skewers and lotus root yams. When Chen Xu came after washing up, Wang Jian and others had already started barbecuing themselves, brushing oil and shaking seasonings, and they seemed to have learned the movements of seven or eight.

"Welcome to General Wang!" Chen Xu followed Wang Jian to the end. Since he already knew his identity, according to the habits of the Qin Dynasty, there was no need to continue to hide.

"Sit~" Wang Jian nodded and there was no expression on his face. He held a skewer in one hand and ate it, and his mouth was filled with oil. At the same time, a stream of blood came out, which made Chen Xu's face twitch.

Damn it? Have you ever roasted it? You haven’t even cooked three points!

"Chen Lidian, please taste my skills!" Bai Zhen stuffed two skewers of barbecue into Chen Xu's hands, smiling on his face, and a hint of expectation on his face, as if he wanted to get five-star praise!

However, this expression was ignored by Chen Xu and put the skewers back on the barbecue rack.

I want to get good reviews if I haven’t grilled skewers, and I don’t even have them. I have too much lard, and I have a thick layer of pepper and mustard. If I take this bite, I will probably have diarrhea in the middle of the night, and the chrysanthemums will be very uncomfortable. This kind of barbecue technique is considered a blessing if I don’t be beaten to death in the future.

In Bai Zhen's awkward eyes, Chen Xu picked up a few skewers of lotus roots and yam tablets and put them on the barbecue grill. Today he no longer planned to eat meat. He ate too much meat yesterday, and hugged a delicate little lady. Under the stimulation of tiger meat, he didn't close his eyes all night. After touching it, he couldn't relieve the fire. He had a lot of fire today. He had to eat some vegetarian dishes today, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep for another night.

The three of them surrounded the barbecue stall and the four guards did not participate today, and the atmosphere was relatively depressing.

As time passed, the sky became darker and the lotus roots and yams were already roasted. Chen Xu still broke the dullness after eating a few skewers.

"The old general is not in Xianyang to live a life of his life, so why should he come to a remote place like our Qinghe Town?"

"When you have nothing to do, come out to relax, may you have any objection?" Wang Jian said with his eyes wide open.

"Haha, I don't dare!" Chen Xu laughed dryly and continued to fiddle with the barbecue.

"I can't pretend to be drunk today if I don't have any wine today. Can I answer my question yesterday today?" Wang Jian asked by throwing down the bamboo stick and wiped his mouth clean with his sleeve.

"The old general asked Yu Blind. Yesterday Xu thought hard all night, but he never thought of a good answer. Besides, the old general was the best at marching and fighting. He swept across the six countries in ten years, which made the world scared. Why did he come to ask me, a wild man in the mountain village?" Chen Xu replied with a bitter face.

"Hmph, I thought hard that I didn't see it, I only heard the howl of the wolf in the middle of the night!" Wang Jian hummed disdainfully.

Chen Xu's face turned dark in an instant. Damn it was shameless. He actually came to listen to my wall in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Shui Qingrou was not here today, otherwise he would not know what shame he was like!

Looking at Chen Xu's expression, Bai Zhen held his smile on his face and silenced his head to eat barbecue. It was obvious that this guy had also come last night.

After a moment of embarrassment, Chen Xu calmly said while eating barbecue: "The old general really wants to hear it?"

"Do you think I'm really bored and ran to this remote place to relax?" Wang Jian frowned.

"Will I be beheaded if I say it wrong?" Chen Xu continued to ask.

"I have the final say whether to kill or not. Please answer carefully!" Wang Jian refused to accept the answer at all.

OK, what else can I do if you are so unreasonable?

Chen Xu slowly put down the skewers in his hand, and after thinking for a long time, his face became extremely serious and serious and said: "I have three strategies for conquering Lingnan, middle and lower. I wonder which strategy the old general wants to listen to?"

"There are three strategies?" Not only Wang Jian was stunned, Bai Zhen, who was eating barbecue, also stopped, his face full of surprise.

"Yes, the three strategies of the upper, middle and lower can all be completed to conquer Lingnan, but the price and time are different."

"Haha, okay, I will listen to your three strategies, both upper and lower. If I am satisfied, I will definitely meet you in person to recommend you as an officer of the Taiwei Mansion. I will follow the army to fight for Baiyue. I will be awarded the title and the general in the future!" Wang Jian laughed excitedly after a brief silence.

Chen Xu's face turned darker in an instant. Since he said he wanted to fight with the army, then forget it. I, with thin arms and legs, couldn't even beat the donkey. When I met the indigenous people in the mountains and forests of Guangxi and Fujian, I would soon be burping.

"Why, you don't want to be a martial arts master? Since you said that all three strategies can pacify Lingnan, this is a rewarding achievement. The achievements of expanding territory are enough to make you a general!" Wang Jian said with a constipated expression on Chen Xu.

"General, I don't want to be a martial arts master. Look at my body, I can't even hold up a big sword. How can I follow the army to fight? This credit should be given to the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty!" Chen Xu said righteously.

"Hmph, yesterday's song of loyalty to serve the country, I thought you were a loyal and brave man, but I didn't expect that I was as timid as a mouse. My great Qin man should lift my sword and jump on the horse, kill the heads of a million Southern Barbarians, and put the horses on the battlefield with blood and horses and corpses. I am the man's demeanor, so I'm spitting!"

Wang Jian saw Chen Xu's timid nature at a glance, and expressed his deep contempt in words. He completely threw away the words of Qin Shihuang's earnest warnings to not collide with the disciples of the immortals when he left Xianyang. He originally thought that Chen Xu, the disciple of the immortals, must have a graceful and elegant manner. Unexpectedly, after two days of contact, this guy who was confirmed as a disciple of the immortals was not only not elegant at all. Although he did have countless wonderful ideas and was indeed different, he looked like a wild man in the mountain village and dressed as he wanted.

I have a casual behavior, I am not doing my job all day long, and I seem to be studying delicious food and drink all day long. The most hateful thing is that I don’t look like a man at all. When I have nothing to do, I just hold my wife’s hand and wander around the town. I also hug the little lady for a long time. Last night, I heard about it for half a night. Someone hummed comfortably for the middle of the night, making an old man’s teeth itch in the middle of the night. So, overall, this immortal disciple was an incompetent disciple who was driven down the mountain by the immortal sect. It was said that it was a immortal disciple who was completely embarrassing the Chinese gods.

But someone did not think it was offended and said calmly: "Loyalty for the country does not mean to raise a sword and leap into the horse to wipe out the four barbarians, nor does it mean to be a title and a general to glorify the ancestors. Xu has thousands of opportunities in his heart, and there are hundreds of strategies to serve the country. Is it considered to be a mountain of improvement of agricultural tools and farming to make the Daqin food pile up like a mountain? Is it considered to be a service to the country when improving the military to make the Daqin soldiers like tigers? Is it considered to be a service to the country when developing good medicine to save lives and help the wounded? Is it considered to be a service to the country when the people are well fed and well-dressed? If you have the opportunity to set foot in the court, if Xu can use what he has learned, he will eventually be a service to the four barbarians to surrender to congratulate him. Is it considered a loyal service to the country when he?"

Chen Xu's words seemed to be loud and loud.

"Pu ~" Bai Zhen's skewers fell to the ground, his face full of dullness.

Wang Jian was stunned for a long time, his snow-white bearded eyebrows trembled gently, and after a while, nodded: "Yes, this is indeed a loyal service to the country, but it is not brave enough to be domineering. Well, let's talk about this later. Since you want to set foot in the court to show your ambitions, I will not stop you. Today, let's talk about your three strategies for conquering Lingnan!"

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this old killer didn't get him to join the army, everything else was easy to say.

"Let me first talk about the best strategy. Now the Qin Dynasty has just pacified the six kingdoms. Although the world is unified, the land of the six kings is not peaceful. The six kings, the remaining people, are not willing to accept it. They are all ready to try to restore the foundation of the six kingdoms. Old General, I am right!"

"Yes!" Wang Jian nodded with a serious expression. Although he was a little surprised by Chen Xu's words, he also felt that it was in line with his identity as an immortal disciple. If an immortal disciple could not even see this world trend, it would be useless to waste this identity that His Majesty must treat with caution.

"Because we need to be prepared for the restoration of the six countries, a large number of soldiers were stationed in the original six countries. The number of soldiers was huge, and the supply of food, grass, weapons, etc. was also very huge. This was a huge burden. In addition, the roads and water conservancy facilities are being built nationwide, and hundreds of thousands of civilians and servants have been recruited. These people are not only unable to participate in farming, but also consume a lot of food, and also have to build countless tools for road construction and logging, which is another huge burden. In addition, 200,000 soldiers guarding the border of the Great Wall in the North are guarding the defense of 200,000 soldiers guarding the Great Wall on the North.

We guarded the Huns and supervised the construction of the Great Wall by millions of surrendered soldiers from six countries. The daily consumption of these soldiers and surrendered soldiers is like a bottomless pit, and the food and equipment are constantly flowing and are always filled. I won’t say anything else. In just these three places, although I, Daqin, claiming to have a population of 20 million, I have to support nearly 3 million soldiers and surrendered soldiers who are not engaged in production. This burden is all on the farmers who are not fed, and it is like a person stepping on a rotten bridge, and there are countless fierce beasts under the bridge. If a rotten bridge is accidentally broken, the consequences can be imagined..."

"You are right. Today, the Qin Dynasty has external troubles and internal difficulties, and it does burden Chen Ke, but what is the best strategy you mentioned? Is there a solution?" Wang Jian's expression became more and more serious.

"The old general came to Qinghe Town for three days and must have looked at many different things carefully. What surprised you the most and strange is that?" Chen Xu did not answer, but asked a question instead.

"The most surprising and strange..." Wang Jian pondered as he pulled his beard.

"Is it the flask machine in the pottery making workshop?" Bai Zhen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said.

"No!" Before Chen Xu could speak, Wang Jian shook his head and denied, "Although the pulling machine is novel, it has nothing to do with people's livelihood or the lives of the people. Today, the Qin Dynasty is short of food. Could it be that Chen Lidian is talking about the Quyuan Plough?"

"Not bad!" Chen Xu nodded, "The curved plow can deeply plow the soil, and the horizontal rake can weed and flatten it. These two things can make the soil soft, and the grain planted can grow better and obtain more output. With the measures of hoarding fertilizer, under this kind of intensive farming, the grain obtained by a mu of land will be at least three times or even five or six times more than the simple slash-and-burn planting before. Even if the Qin Dynasty will no longer be cultivated, after a few years of restoration, the grain of our Qin Dynasty will accumulate like mountains and there will be no longer any danger of insufficient food. As the saying goes: Food is the most important thing for people. As long as there is enough food, the people will live a peaceful life naturally. In addition, the Qin Dynasty has sufficient soldiers and generals, and then we will conquer the Baiyue land in Lingnan. Even if the right time and place are not in me, the Qin Dynasty will monopolize the power of harmony. Even if it is dragged, it can drag the Baiyue people to death..." Chen Xu looked at Wang Jian, "Old General, this is my best strategy!"

After hearing this, Wang Jian was silent for a long time, nodded, then sighed and shook his head: "The saying that food is the most important thing for the people is, and the best strategy you said is the same as my opinion. Guanzi's military strategy said: If you liven up the way, the people will be harmonious; if you raise it, the people will be harmonious. Therefore, you can be harmonious, and you can be harmonious, and you can be harmonious and you can be well-educated. No one can hurt you. Therefore, you can cultivate and accumulate strength first to get the support of all people. Unfortunately, your Majesty can't wait, so let's talk about your strategy!"

"The Zhongst is to change the target of attack. At present, the Great Qin has two major external troubles. One is the Tuman Baiyue in the south, and the other is the Human Xiongnu in the north. However, compared with the Yue tribe, the Huns have a greater harm to China. Moreover, the horses are tall, strong, fierce, cruel and cruel. There is almost no barrier or buffer from the Central Plains except for the blocking of the river. Once winter comes, they will go south to plunder the people of our Great Qin. Moreover, the Huns have been grazing in the wealthy land of Henan for many years. They rely on the blocking of the Great Wall. They must gather a large number of troops to guard it, wasting huge manpower and material resources. Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to conquer Baiyue, I think it is better to drive out the Huns. As the saying goes: The Yellow River has many harms, only the rich one, this Hetao is now

The land occupied by the Huns in Henan, the Qin army went out of Longxi, Yiqu and Shangjun to recover the Hetao area, not only would it obtain hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses, but also a vast and rich horse-herding land. After expelling the Huns from Henan, they could all seize the river to the west to Longxi and east to Yanmen. At the same time, they could move millions of surrendered soldiers from the six countries to garrison the border and cultivate wasteland and farmland, and separate counties to build cities and guard the border. It is much better than rushing to build an inmovable Great Wall fortress. After the north is stable, they will slowly explore Baiyue in the south, and there will be no worries. After pacifying the south, the northern horse farm will also obtain a large number of good horses. By then, the army crossing the river and defeating the Huns, they can collect all the Hu areas in the northwest. Our Qin will have dozens of counties and counties..."

As Chen Xu analyzed carefully, Wang Jian's face was moving, and his eyes were shining brightly. After Chen Xu finished speaking, he couldn't help but slamming his high ground and shouting: "This strategy is particularly wonderful, and it should be the best strategy. Your Majesty is now concerned about the only ones in the jurisdiction of the Great Qin Dynasty. The Baiyue land is full of mountains, land is small and water networks, and it is not suitable for large-scale land reclamation and planting. In addition, our Great Qin has lived in the northwest for many years, and the generals and soldiers are not adapted to the hot and humid climate in the south. If you first expel the Xiongnu and collect the land in Henan, you can not only obtain a large amount of cattle and horse supplements, but also implement the method of deep cultivation and planting at the same time. After two or three years, when the food and horses are sufficient, you will have to fight against the Baiyue. It will be effective twice the result with half the effort. It is not bad. Chen Lidian's words awakened me and regain these two places, first north and then south, is the best strategy!"

Haha, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile on his face. In order to figure out the current situation and general trend in China, he has been doing these tasks. In addition, Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou, two senior intellectuals who are quite familiar with Daqin, have roughly touched the basic situation of Daqin in the past two months. In addition, while hugging Shui Qingrou, he hugged Shui Qingrou last night, and in order to divert attention, he couldn't help but get out of fire and lose his kidney deficiency in advance. While enjoying it, he asked a lot of information he needed. After a day of careful consideration today, he was finally ready to answer Wang Jian's question.

Regardless of whether Wang Jian or Qin Shihuang was satisfied or not, at least he did not speak nonsense, otherwise Wang Jian would have caught the mistake and the handle, and he, a disciple of the immortal family who was rumored to be exposed soon.

What's more, with the experience accumulated in later generations of two thousand years, the importance of the Yellow River Hetao region is unquestionable for China. If we want to be safe in the Central Plains, the Hetao region must be taken first. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, two generals, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, completely defeated the Huns, and Fenglang Juxu occupied the Western Regions and included them in the imperial territory. The greatest help was to occupy Hetao and gain a huge and fertile horse-pasting ground. After years of preparation, it was successful in one go. Under the heavy blow, the powerful Huns fell apart and fell into pieces.

For several tribes, one surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and the other fled far away from Europe to the Roman Empire, and the Hun Empire completely disappeared without any waves. As a result, the northwest areas had gained hundreds of years of stability. Until the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties, the northwest Hus were still terrible in the eyes of the Chinese. Any prefect at the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period could be completely abused, so they were called a powerful Han, which means that even if the Han Dynasty collapsed, it was still invincible, which made foreign tribes afraid to set foot in the Central Plains.

"Chen Lidian, what's the worst plan?" After hearing Chen Xu's two strategies, Wang Jian completely put away any contempt.

Although Chen Xu looked young, these two strategies were indeed the best. The best strategy coincided with his ideas. Even because he made a farming tool like Quyuan Plow, the final result was probably much better than his. Maybe it would not take three to five years, and only two years would be needed to get a lot of food to solve the current dilemma of Daqin. However, Zhong Ce gave him greater inspiration, which was a problem he almost completely ignored. As a brave general, he had no problem in commanding a war to destroy a country, but his strategic vision was not high. In ancient times, the generals followed the emperor's orders and asked you to fight wherever you hit. The direction of the emperor's finger was the direction of the general and the soldiers' desperate attack. As for strategy, it was the problem that the emperor considered, but at present, the black and thin boy in front of him directly strategically affirmed the north first and then south.

The policy is much better than the strategy of directly conquering Lingnan, and Wang Jian also deeply realized this. No matter how hard Baiyue is, it cannot threaten the safety of the Qin Dynasty. However, the Huns are always like a great sword hanging above the head of the Qin Dynasty, which may fall down at any time. Otherwise, the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Qin in the northwest would not have built the Great Wall for hundreds of years. Then, after the Qin Dynasty unified it, it continued to build a miracle of the earth in later generations. It stretched thousands of miles but almost became a useless decoration, becoming a place for later generations to collect tickets to visit. It also called it a hero who was not a hero. As a result, Chen Xu was seduced and looked at tens of thousands of heads for several hours. He didn't even touch the wall bricks of the Great Wall and went back home. He was pulled down and walked around and bought a jade bracelet of two thousand yuan for his girlfriend. As a result, when he went back, his friend identified it as an A-grade product.

Mmp, it was so bad. Not only did the tickets make me fooled me, but the tour guide also made me fooled me. Chen Xu's face turned a little dark when he remembered that trip.

"The worst strategy is to obey His Majesty the First Emperor's orders and go out to the Five Ridges. According to the old general, he would be able to conquer the body in blood on the battlefield, use human life to fill it up, and use blood to wash the ground. As long as he does not care about the lives of the Qin soldiers, he will still be able to conquer Baiyue in three to five years." Chen Xu sighed slightly.

"Are you so unfavorable to the timing of conquering Lingnan and the courage of the Qin soldiers?" Wang Jian asked with his beard.

"Did the old general be optimistic? I think it will be smooth sailing?" Chen Xu asked back.

"Oh~" Wang Jian also sighed and shook his head, "At this time, the time, place, and people are not with me. This is a taboo in military strategy. Well, I am very satisfied with your three strategies. In two days, I will leave Qinghe Town. Those two subordinates will stay in Qinghe Town to recuperate and help me take good care of my life. Then I went to Xianyang to recognize the door at my mansion. There are still a few juniors in my family who are about the same age as you, so you can get close to each other!"

"It's better to obey your orders than respect. Xu will definitely visit the old general and General Wang Ben at the Marquis of Tongwu!" Chen Xu bowed his hands and saluted.
Chapter completed!
