Girl, there's something wrong with you

Chapter 607 Win first and lose later

Divide and conquer.

Anyone who can come up with the idea of ​​"gong fire", regardless of their IQ, is definitely not a kind person.

The history of Gonghuo can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period. The most classic one is Wang Yun's Gonghuo between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, bringing out the peerless beauty Diao Chan, and directly using Lu Bu to kill Dong Taishi.

As the Jin Dynasty inherited the Three Kingdoms, Gonghuo as a political strategy is still far from outdated.

For example, after Yi Guan moved south, because the imperial power was too weak, the emperor had to take advantage of the contradiction between the northern gentry and the southern gentry to maintain his rule.

Within the aristocratic family, the top management has recruited a large number of disadvantaged families and supported new talents from disadvantaged families to fight against the opposition within the aristocratic family.

"Divide and rule", these four simple words, contain a lot of political knowledge.

When Miss Wang reminded her, Cheng Jinyang immediately reacted.

If we want to divide and conquer, we can introduce the influence of the five surnamed families into Sichuan and Shu.

Although the Sichuan and Shu forces have the home field advantage, their absolute strength is far inferior to that of the Five Surnames.

The five surnamed families are strong, but the strong dragons cannot defeat the local snakes, and they cannot defeat the local gentry for a while.

In a short period of time, it will definitely be a stalemate, and the Beifu Army will have enough time to support the Long Xiang Army.

Of course, in the long run, the five surname families will sooner or later regain the Sichuan and Shu gentry and integrate them into the basic set of the overall gentry of the Jin Dynasty.

Miss Wang's proposal is naturally beneficial to the Taiyuan Wang family.

Cheng Jinyang thought for a moment and decided to follow this suggestion.

Although the father-in-laws can't keep their tails from falling off, that will only happen later, and they are definitely more trustworthy than the Sichuan and Sichuan nobles at the moment.

"Wanrou." Cheng Jinyang continued to ask, "It is indeed a good plan to lure families with five surnames into Shu. But I still have doubts..."

"What doubts are there?" Wang Wanrou looked at him sideways, her expression seeming to say, "Have you had any weird and unrealistic thoughts again?".

"The eldest ladies and I have no heirs yet. Although we have united with the noble clan, we still have no guarantee."

"Qingwan and Qingqing are both plump and fertile." Miss Wang said lightly, "What are you so anxious about?"

"Wanrou." Cheng Jinyang said worriedly, "I am married to the Wang family in Taiyuan, but we still have no heirs."

"What you said makes sense." Wang Wanrou nodded slightly, "It's just that it's not convenient for me today."

"My lady, today... oh." Cheng Jinyang pondered for a moment, then smiled, "Then I will rub my lady's belly."

After pressing Miss Wang for half an hour and seeing her eyes narrowing in contentment like a cat, Cheng Jinyang continued to talk to her for a while, and then left quietly.

Start contacting the father-in-laws in Jingkou.

"This victory of the Beifu Army, compared with the defeat of the Longxiang Army in southern Yuzhou, has brought us a huge prestige advantage." During the video conference, the father-in-laws communicated with Cheng Jinyang, "When Yu Yuangui fails in the Northern Expedition, then we can Take advantage of this excellent opportunity to reshuffle the cards within Taicheng."

"Taicheng Shuffle" is generally understood as the replacement of the empire's center. However, now that Wang Maohong is still the honorary chief assistant, it is definitely impossible for Cheng Jinyang to let his father-in-law take care of himself in old age.

In other words, it is not the prime ministers in Taicheng who are to be replaced here.

But the ones above the prime minister.

"Long Xiang's army still needs to be rescued." Cheng Jinyang said in a deep voice, "It's not for political struggle, but to try to preserve the vitality of the human side."

"That's natural." Wang Maohong agreed, "Just try your best to save him."

Cheng Jinyang realized something was wrong when he heard this, and asked in a low voice:

"The Northern Expedition was defeated?"

"Around 10 o'clock this morning, the main force of Long Xiang's army was contained in the north. A group of high-level demons detoured from the left wing and captured Zhu City across the river from Wuchang." Cui Congyan replied, "If Wuchang is lost, Jingzhou will It’s hard to protect, so Long Xiang’s army will definitely return for reinforcements.”

Cheng Jinyang:………………

The relationship is that Yu Zhongshu went too far alone, was cut off by the enemy, and then changed his family.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind:

Is it possible that the father-in-laws deliberately did not tell Yu Yuangui after learning about the military situation?

No, the father-in-laws stayed at Jingkou, and their grasp of the military situation behind enemy lines could not be as good as that of Long Xiang's army. This should be Yu Yuangui's own problem.

In other words, no matter whether I go to the rescue or not, this Northern Expedition plan is considered a failure.

After the news spread to the empire, public opinion, which had been shaken because of my efforts to pacify Sichuan and Sichuan, was probably going to be poured cold water on again...

Cheng Jinyang, who was a little disappointed, heard Wang Maohong say with a smile:

"Everyone, before Yu Yuan planned the Northern Expedition, someone had judged that 'this Northern Expedition will be won first and then defeated.' Do you think it has been fulfilled?"

"Jinyang really has a brilliant plan." Chu Jiye took the lead in high-fiving, and others also followed suit.

Cheng Jinyang felt relieved when he heard this, yes.

Didn’t I already make a judgment before the war started?

The situation where the north is strong and the south is weak has basically not changed. How is it possible to rely on Long Xiang's army to conquer southern Yuzhou?

The fall of Zhu City was not so much Yu Yuangui's mistake as it was a last resort after his strength was crushed. If there were enough troops, how could they not leave enough manpower to defend the north bank of Wuchang?

It’s already great to regain Sichuan and Shu, right?

A few words from the father-in-law woke Cheng Jinyang up, and his original pessimistic mood recovered a lot.

Continuing to talk about Sichuan and Shu, Cheng Jinyang expressed the hope that the five surnamed families would "give a helping hand" to help Sichuan and Shu "restore, rebuild" and "maintain order."

Naturally, the father-in-laws have no reason to refuse this kind of thing that guarantees a profit without losing any money. After all, Sichuan and Shu, as a land of abundance, have been far away from the Central Plains for hundreds of years and have suffered from slight wars, thus accumulating a large population.

Whether it is used to invest in imperial production or stimulate internal consumption, it is a very good economic stimulus.

So everyone talked to each other, and soon all the markets in Sichuan and Shu were allocated.

When it comes to doing business, no one can compare with these established aristocratic families - just because their bloodline abilities and production activities are compatible, the advantage is basically big enough.

After the follow-up plan was confirmed, Cheng Jinyang ended the video conference with satisfaction.

Next, it is time to convene the shogunate and announce the next decision-making route.

"Jinyang!" At this moment, Su Lili suddenly appeared from the office together with Ye Ru.

"Xiao Li?" Cheng Jinyang stood up happily, "Why are you here?"

"I can't worry about you." Su Lili said with a smile, "I will leave my daughter to Ashura to take care of her temporarily."

"What's there to worry about?" Ye Ru complained from the side, "Aren't Jiang Jiu and Lin Hu here to protect his safety?"

Cheng Jinyang looked at Su Lili carefully. She was indeed a monster in this respect. Childbirth had not brought any fat on her abdomen. Her face and figure were still exquisite and perfect, but her eyebrows and eyes had gained a bit more mature temperament.

In other words, it is closer to a certain maternal temperament.
