Chapter 238 Means of War
Hearing her question, Qin Sheng hesitated whether to say it or not. After all, the solution they came up with was actually a bit cruel.
To be honest, it was he who came up with the idea, and his elder brother was still hesitating whether to use it.
Lu Songli looked at him puzzledly, "Why aren't you talking?"
Qin Sheng made up his mind and told them their solution.
In fact, it is a strategy to lure the enemy deep into our territory.
The Xianbei were too arrogant. If we didn't give them a hard blow, their mentality of thinking they could do whatever they wanted in Liaodong County would not change.
To implement this plan, you need to lay out bait, otherwise how can you lure the enemy?
These baits are actually people. To perfectly implement this plan, sacrifice is required, and the sacrifice is not small.
"Lili, do you think we are cruel?" Qin Sheng asked cautiously.
Lu Songli said very rationally, "A kind person cannot command an army. To deal with the Xianbei, Liaodong County really needs a big victory." As the saying goes, one punch is better than a hundred.
Mr. Sun Yat-sen once said that war is a means of resolving crises, a way to stop war, and a way to eliminate war. To stop war with war means there will be sacrifices.
In the Liaodong County of Dali, after years of fighting with the Xianbei, the military strength of Liaodong County has weakened.
The strategy of luring the enemy deep into their territory was to take advantage of the Xianbei's preconceived impression of the Liaodong County soldiers.
If the Xianbei army approaches, Liaodong County will not be able to put up an effective resistance, and the people of Liaodong County will definitely be retaliated against.
Since sacrifices are bound to happen, try to make them worthwhile.
"Wait." Lu Songli felt something was wrong. She looked Qin Sheng up and down. "This plan, is this what you came up with?"
"Li Li, hehe——" Qin Sheng laughed.
Lu Songli thought, no wonder he was a bit clingy and abnormal just now.
"When you arrive in Houcheng and meet Le Guicai, don't offer this plan unless you have no other choice."
The strategy is feasible, but this is not the northern border that the Qin family has guarded for many years, and the soldiers are very convinced of the Qin family.
In Liaodong County, the Qin brothers had just joined the army. Who would be willing to obey them? Moreover, this plan was a bit vicious. The Qin brothers were not strong enough in Liaodong County...
"Okay, I'll tell my brother and the others about this." Qin Sheng naturally knew that this plan was a mediocre one and it was best not to use it unless absolutely necessary.
"It's not certain that a fight will break out." Lu Songli murmured thoughtfully.
War is the continuation of politics. Politics is the primary factor in governing a country. The extraordinary means of war are only resorted to when normal political methods cannot achieve the goal.
The same applies to local governance.
Hainan County, Panyu, Chen Mansion
Chen Jiaye looked at the young talent in front of him, "It's true that you and Baozhu were in the same room. With so many people present that day, Baozhu's reputation has also been damaged..."
Xie Zhan understood what Ya meant, "Clan leader, I can take responsibility." After saying this, he changed the subject, "But my wife and I were married by the Grand Empress Dowager, so I can't divorce my wife and marry again."
What I mean is, you have to choose between being a concubine or a concubine.
Chen Jiaye choked. He had known this would happen.
He looked at Xie Zhan gravely, he didn't believe that he didn't know what he meant.
Although it was the Chen family who was instigating this marriage, did Xie Zhan think that just because it was no longer a business deal, he could neglect them?
Xie Zhan went on to say, "My wife is pregnant, so we shouldn't be welcoming new people into the family at this time. But the accident has happened, and I won't shirk my responsibilities."
Chen Jiaye looked at him in surprise. Zhao was pregnant?
It was already unfair enough that the daughter of the Chen family married him as a concubine. Regardless of whether Mrs. Zhao lived long or not, just the children born in the future would have to be inferior to Mr. Zhao's son?
Xie Zhan's original intention was to use his wife's pregnancy to persuade the Chen family to give up the idea of forcibly binding him, but he didn't expect the Chen family to be so eager to plot against him...
But for him, this matter has both advantages and disadvantages, and it is not too bad.
Finally, Chen Jiaye compromised. He said earnestly, "Ah Zhan, I will marry Baozhu to you, and we will be a family in the future."
"After that, I will do my best to help your Xie family. You have to work hard too."
"Times are tough. Our Chen family is already ranked last in the South. Helping you and the Xie family like this will cost us a lot of our clan's resources. I'm sure there will be criticism from our clan members. I'm under a lot of pressure."
Xie Zhan immediately expressed his loyalty, "Zhan will definitely do his best to plan for our Chen family, even if it means death."
Later, as soon as the news spread that the eldest daughter of the Chen family was marrying Xie Zhan, a talented person from the former Xie family of Chang'an, Xie Zhan was visited by the Zhao family.
The people who came were none other than Zhao Wenkuan and his wife and Zhao Minglou.
As soon as Mrs. Luo arrived, she went in to accompany her daughter Zhao Yutan.
The only people left in the hall were Xie Zhan, his father-in-law, and his elder brother-in-law.
The Zhao family had obviously suffered a lot in the past six months, and everyone's face looked visibly thinner and older.
"Are you going to marry Chen's legitimate daughter as your concubine?" Zhao Wenkuan asked.
Xie Zhan naturally had to explain the matter to the Zhao family, mentioning his own difficulties and at the same time stating that he had no intention of taking a concubine. "A Tan and I were married by the Grand Empress Dowager, and now she is pregnant with my child. How could I possibly betray her?"
"Father-in-law, big brother, the situation is stronger than us now. We are under someone else's roof and have no choice but to bow our heads."
The Zhao family father and son listened silently. Zhao Wenkuan nodded at him and said, "Remember what you said today."
In exile, the Zhao family endured a difficult life. Clearly, the six great families of the South, as well as some smaller and more powerful factions, looked down upon them. The subsequent improvements in their lives and work were all thanks to their son-in-law.
It was obvious that the head of the Chen family highly appreciated his son-in-law.
The Zhao family cannot compare with it at all now, and what Zhao Wenkuan is more afraid of is that he will leave the Zhao family behind.
Zhao Minglou suddenly said, "Atan, let's take her back and stay for a while."
Xie Zhan nodded, "Okay, protect her well and don't let her think too much."
Zhao Minglou looked at him scrutinizingly.
Xie Zhan looked at him calmly.
In the end, the Zhao family took Zhao Yutan away, and Xie Zhan sent a lot of supplies to the Zhao family.
At this time, Xie Zhan already knew that Lu Desheng had been successfully exiled from Chang'an to Houcheng in the northeast of Liaodong County, one of the four counties under Pingzhou.
He could clearly see the deep meaning behind the new emperor Song Mo placing Lü Desheng here. Now it all depended on whether the Lü and Qin families could survive and gain a foothold in Liaodong County.
The change in the situation gave Xie Zhan a sense of urgency. He felt that his development was still too slow and he needed to speed up.
He immediately drew up a list of names. The people on the list were the first group of clan members he wanted to bring out with the help of the Chen family. After drawing up the list, he thought about it and finally added Zhao Minglou's name.
There are not many people on the list, just five or six.
He was prepared that half of the people on the list would be eliminated.
He initially estimated that if half of them could get out safely, it would be a success.
