Chapter 222 222: Take a piece of land【Please take a leave】
Although Shen Tang also has plans in this regard, but—
Gu Chi's question is too straightforward.
Everyone is so straightforward, so she has to be honest too.
He said sincerely: "Of course there are."
Whether it is for myself or for these hundreds of people.
Thinking of this, her eyes darkened slightly.
Her lordship is too restrictive, and a stable territory is indispensable if she wants to develop insignificantly. Not having a stable territory means that she has no room for wretched development. Because people have two legs, they can run with their property on their shoulders, but the crops they plant cannot.
Crops take time from planting to maturity.
It's not that Shen Tang never thought of occupying the mountain as king.
But this kind of behavior is too risky, and it can only be regarded as a bad idea.
Because Shen Tang is not the nominal owner of the land under his feet! If her name is not right, others are entitled to attack her in the name of "removing harm for the people" and "suppressing bandits". Even if she relies on her own strength and is not afraid of external harassment, come and fight one by one!
but-
There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent a thief?
The latter can always find an opportunity to start.
Even if he succeeds once in ten times, Shen Tang may have no chance to stand up—the capital is too little, and he can't bear toss!
Thinking further, if she wants to recruit refugees for her own use and expand her own scale, she must have a place to house people, right? Otherwise, why would a bunch of refugees come here? Follow her from one end to the other?
No reputation, no territory, the refugees don't care about her.
No territory means that all plans are empty talk.
Shen Tang asked Gu Chi for advice: "Does Mr. Gu have a good plan?"
Gu Chi really does.
He smiled and took a sip of plum wine, which was meaningful.
"I dare not say it is a good strategy, but it is indeed a good opportunity! This opportunity is close at hand, we just need to see if we can grasp it!"
Shen Tang frowned: "A good opportunity? Is it still in sight?"
After thinking about it for a while, she understood where the "good opportunity" Gu Chi was referring to... However, she didn't know whether to say it or not. This "good opportunity" was a hot potato... She would only die faster, right?
Shen Tang shook his head: "Mr. Gu thinks highly of me."
Gu Chi encouraged the fire: "Wealth and wealth are found in danger."
"It is true to say so, but once the 'risk' is far greater than the 'wealth', it will not be worth the loss if you continue to do it..." Shen Tang paused, as if afraid of Gu Chi's misunderstanding, he added, "I have strength. Naturally, even if the two armies are not afraid of facing each other, even if the skills are not as good as others, I still have Yuan Liang and the others, and it is still possible to retreat... But just because I can do it, does not mean that others can too."
At least not with more than a hundred people under his command.
Sending them to the battlefield is no different from sending them to see Hades.
"How does Shen Lang know that he can't succeed?"
Shen Tang shook his head: "This is not a question of success or failure...Take a step back and say, even if you succeed by luck, with Zheng Qiao's temperament and style, will he really keep his promise?"
Even if it is a stamped edict, he can turn his face and deny it.
"Shen Lang is too cautious." Gu Chi squinted his eyes comfortably, with a careless and lazy expression, "Zheng Qiao issued that edict because he wanted to fight between snipe and clam. He is a good fisherman." Li, but instead exposed his biggest weakness. It was this weakness that made Zheng Qiao dare not break his promise easily. No matter how reluctant he was, he would have to admit it..."
Gu Chi changed to a more comfortable position.
"Shen Lang might as well make a guess."
Shen Tang heard the words and looked at Qi Shan, who was listening quietly with downcast eyes.
Qi Shan did not give a hint.
Shen Tang: "..."
She lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then tried to ask: "Zheng Qiao's biggest weakness - could it be that he is strong outside but capable in the middle? He has the Seal of the Kingdom of Geng in his hand, and the rebel army headed by King Zhu just took advantage of a 'surprise'. If the two sides face off, Zheng Qiao will have a greater chance of winning."
but-
It seems to be a very normal edict.
But there are too many tricks in it, the most interesting point is "regardless of origin and past". The translation is——Zheng Qiao has great tolerance, as long as he can make meritorious deeds, even if the deeds have rebelled, they can be written off!
Only merits, not faults!
As he spoke, Shen Tang's thoughts became more and more smooth.
Analyzed: "If Zheng Qiao is said to have the ability to wipe out the rebel army of King Xi, why did he make such a promise of 'cracking the soil to seal the king'?"
This is not the way to draw a pancake.
"...If you say you don't have the ability, it doesn't seem to make sense..."
The advantage of Guoxi is not just for fun.
"Unless Zheng Qiao is temporarily unable to send troops for some reason, and can only rely on external forces to contain King Zhu's power. He is afraid that the bait is not big enough, and other fish will not take the bait, so he throws out a temptation that no one can resist? Listen. It's like wasting time..."
Gu Chi's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Shen Lang is smart, guess eight [nine] is close to ten."
Shen Tang asked: "So, do you know the reason?"
Gu Chi: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess. Why did King Xi and the others so quickly instigate rebellion against Zheng Qiao's confidantes who were loyal to Zheng Qiao? It was because they were caught. Once Zheng Qiao found out about this fact, they would definitely die. Apart from rebellion, they have no second choice." way out!"
This shows how unpopular Zheng Qiao is.
He acts fiercely, not only the enemy is afraid, but the people around him are even more afraid, and the fear cannot make the subordinates really give up. While Zheng Qiao made his subordinates fearful, it also fueled their ambitions. As long as there is a chance, they will betray without hesitation!
Just to get out of Zheng Qiao's control!
Gu Chi said indifferently: "The example of King Shi has also inspired others - taking advantage of the opportunity to turn against Zheng Qiao is the safest way to save his life! In this way, of course Zheng Qiao would not dare to send troops to clear the rebel army of King Pig at this time , because once he delegates his military power, the first thing those confidant generals will do is to kill him!"
on the contrary-
Inviting various forces to fight with King Zhu, no matter which side wins, or both sides lose, Zheng Qiao will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Wishful thinking was crackling loudly.
but-
How can things go as you wish?
It is precisely because of this weakness that Zheng Qiao will not easily break his promise. Gu Chi hoped that Shen Tang would seize this opportunity, so that he could get a piece of land, which would be regarded as a place to stand. As long as it takes root smoothly, it will be considered a successful first step!
Things can only unfold in the future.
But Shen Tang's worry is—
Gong Shuwu and Chu Yao are not around, and she has only a hundred people under her command, what should she do to make contributions and obtain the first land in her life? This problem is terrible!
More than a hundred people went into the battlefield, and there was no splash.
Shen Tang did not shy away from Gu Chi.
Gu Chi smiled and said: "Those more than a hundred people can't do it. Apart from Gong Shuwu, Shen Lang doesn't have a single warrior who can handle it, but Shen Lang is different, as long as he can stand in front of the two armies Fame...isn't credit easy to come by?"
Shen Tang: "...",
Careless!
Is she the one who co-authored and worked part-time from beginning to end? ? ?
Others are employees who work to support the boss... When it comes to her, is it her "boss" who works hard to support the "employees"?
Alas, the world is uneven.
Resentment, there was a message from a soldier outside the tent.
It turned out that Gu Ren was going to attend the conference, worried that Shen Tang would not find his way or be neglected, so he called her to join him.
Shen Tang: "..."
Overestimating myself...
Is my cousin moving into a new house? I went to help, but I was called up at five or six o’clock...Gah, I didn’t go to bed until after three o’clock in the morning...I was in a trance all day, sleepy and tired. After working for two hours, I became more and more tired, and woke up feeling my body was hollowed out...
Even more immobile, flustered, ready to take a leave of absence to go to bed early.
Tomorrow, I will replenish my energy and make up for it...
