Chapter 744: The King is Wise
Liu De's words made Kong Daqian's eyelids jump.
This guy usually came with questions before, but this time he came with a conclusion.
From Kong Daqian's perspective, according to the current situation, even if nothing is done, it is only a matter of time before Liu De is finished.
In this case, compared to sending troops, Kong Daqian naturally prefers to maintain the status quo.
Thinking of this, Kong Daqian maintained his mysterious look and spoke slowly...
"Your Majesty, the people in the country are in turmoil right now. It would be too risky to send troops rashly. In my opinion, it would be better to focus on pacifying the people and resuming farming first. Once we get through this and the grain is harvested in the fall, it won't be too late to make plans."
In Kong Daqian's opinion, Liu De could not solve the people's problem at all, so he was not afraid at all when talking about it now.
Unexpectedly, Liu De at this time rejected his proposal without hesitation.
"According to the Imperial Master, how long will it take? According to my opinion, as long as we capture the city and grab the food, all problems can be solved!"
Hearing these words, Kong Daqian looked at Liu De deeply.
It cannot be said that Liu De's idea is completely wrong, but it requires taking great risks. It is very likely that as soon as he sends out his troops, a riot will break out in the rear.
Originally, Kong Daqian didn't care. After all, Liu De's death was not a big deal. But he didn't know the situation outside and was worried that he might cause trouble to the Great Zhou. That's why he made the suggestion.
But now Kong Daqian also realized that Liu De did not come to seek his opinion from the beginning, but to get his approval.
Simply put, Liu De only wanted to hear one sentence, which was "The king is wise!"
Besides, no matter what you say, he can always refute it.
Kong Daqian, who had already realized this in his heart, naturally had no intention of offending Liu De again, for fear of irritating this guy and making him do something beyond his control.
"Your Majesty is wise."
As expected, as soon as these four words were spoken, Liu De immediately smiled brightly, and it was obvious that he also felt that he was quite wise.
Seeing this, Kong Daqian took the opportunity to direct the topic to another issue.
"So, has your Majesty decided which city to attack?"
"This is exactly why I came to see the Imperial Master! Which city do you think we should attack?"
Hearing this, Kong Daqian immediately understood what was going on.
【This guy has ideas, but not many. 】
Regarding this situation, Kong Daqian remained calm on the surface, but he was actually a little troubled in his heart.
[My king, which city should I let Liu De attack now? ! ]
At this moment, Kong Daqian wished that Zhou Xu could immediately send him a message thousands of miles away or send him a dream to tell him what to do.
The task that the king had assigned to him was just to spread rumors and guide public opinion among the people on the other side, but after being kidnapped by Liu De, the problems he had to face were obviously beyond the scope! Fortunately, he was smart, and Liu De was not really a smart person, which is why he ended up like this.
At this moment, facing this question, Kong Daqian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
As a farmer, he had never thought about this problem before, but now he was forced to think about it.
After some thought, Kong Daqian came up with an idea.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should attack Xianyang City!"
When these words were spoken, even Liu De, who had been very arrogant before, was shocked.
After all, that was the capital of the tyrant Yan Sheng. Liu De subconsciously thought that it should be the most difficult city to attack.
"Master, is it unwise to attack Xianyang City?"
Liu De's words made Kong Daqian secretly despise him.
[You are the only one who is not safe? Do you know how to write the word "safe"? ]
But he said...
"Your Majesty, please be patient and listen to my analysis."
As he spoke, Kong Daqian had quickly organized his thoughts, and then his eloquent tongue began to flow again.
"We are currently in Xishan City. There are only three cities we can attack, namely Black Stone City, Green Forest City, and Xianyang City."
"In Black Stone City, Tyrant Yan Sheng and General Jie Liancheng are most likely stationed there with a large army. Attacking Black Stone City is too dangerous."
"As for Green Forest City, it is commanded by Long Xiaotian, one of the Four Dragon Generals. His strength should not be underestimated."
"Besides that, Long Aotian is in Feiyan City, and Long Potian has already surrendered. So, who is left in Xianyang City?"
Faced with Kong Daqian's sudden question, Liu De was stunned at first, then he reacted quickly and slapped his thigh excitedly.
"The four dragon generals are all at the border, Tyrant Yan Sheng and General Jie Liancheng are in Black Stone City, and there is no one left in Xianyang City?!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Seeing this, Kong Daqian quickly flattered Liu De again.
He gradually lost himself in the shouts of "The King is wise".
"Xianyang City, as the capital, seems difficult to attack, but in fact, its defense is the weakest right now!"
"And Xianyang is the capital! There must be a lot of food and supplies stored in this capital. Once we capture it, not only will our army be able to gain a lot of momentum, but we will also be able to get a lot of supplies. It's like killing two birds with one stone!"
"Okay, okay! Let's attack Xianyang City!"
Liu De was so excited by Kong Daqian's words that he immediately made up his mind to attack Xianyang City.
"I'll go gather the troops now!"
After saying that, Kong Daqian let out a long sigh as he looked at Liu De who left excitedly.
[I don’t know whether Black Stone City is in the hands of the king or Yan Sheng, but Xianyang City is still in the hands of Yan Sheng, right? Let Liu De and Yan Sheng fight each other, there should be nothing wrong with me doing this, right? ]
At the same time, after leaving Green Forest City, Zhou Xu rode a fast horse all the way and had now arrived in Xianyang City.
During the time he was away, the entire set of plans that had been arranged earlier were carried out as usual.
Now, after a spring, a major transfer of population has taken place between various cities, including the later occupied Xianyang City and Feiyan City.
And at the same time as this transfer, I got a job, and through the work, I got a stable income and food, and settled down again!
This made Zhou Xu's reputation among the people here soar.
This is what the people want, and it cannot be compared to Liu De’s one bowl of porridge a day!
Now, these newly surrendered people are praising Zhou Xu from the bottom of their hearts, because under the governance of this new king, the people can feel that their lives are getting better and better.
