girl, you're wrong

Chapter 607
Divide and conquer.

People who can come up with the idea of ​​"arching the fire", regardless of their IQ, are definitely not good people.

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

As the Jin Dynasty that inherited the Three Kingdoms, arching fire as a political strategy is still far from outdated.

For example, after Yiguan went south, because the imperial power was too weak, the emperor had to use the contradiction between the northern gentry and the southern gentry to maintain his rule.

Inside the aristocratic family, the upper echelons are recruiting a large number of poor families to support the newly promoted talents from the poor family to fight against the opposition in the family.

"Divide and conquer", the simple four words contain a lot of political knowledge.

When Miss Wang reminded her, Cheng Jinyang immediately reacted.

If you want to divide and rule, you can introduce the forces of the five surnames into Sichuan and Shu.

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

The families of the five surnames are strong, but the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local tyrants, and they can't defeat the local gentry for a while.

In a short period of time, there must be a stalemate, and the Beifu Army will have enough time to support the Longxiang Army.

Of course, in the long run, sooner or later, the family of five surnames will recover the Sichuan and Shu gentry and incorporate them into the basic group of the overall gentry of the Jin Dynasty.

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

But after Cheng Jinyang thought for a moment, he still decided to follow this suggestion.

Although the father-in-laws can't let the tail get too big, but that is a matter of the later period, and they must be more trustworthy than the Sichuan and Shu gentry at present.

"Wanrou." Cheng Jinyang continued to ask, "It's really a good plan to introduce five surnames into Shu. It's just that I still have doubts..."

"What doubts?" Wang Wanrou squinted at him, her expression seemed to say, "What weird and unrealistic thoughts have you had again?".

"I don't have any heirs with the eldest ladies. Although I have joined forces with the gentry, there is no guarantee after all."

"Qingwan, Qingqing, they are all plump and fertile." Miss Wang said lightly, "What are you in a hurry for?"

"Wanrou." Cheng Jinyang said worriedly, "I am married to the Taiyuan Wang family and have no heirs yet."

"What you said makes sense." Wang Wanrou slightly nodded, "It's just that I'm inconvenient today."

"Miss today... oh." Cheng Jinyang pondered for a moment, then smiled, "Then I'll rub my belly."

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

Started to contact the father-in-laws in Jingkou.

"This victory of the Beifu Army has brought us a huge prestige advantage compared with the defeat of the Longxiang Army in Southern Yuzhou." In the video conference, the fathers-in-law and Cheng Jinyang exchanged, "When Yu Yuangui's Northern Expedition fails, then we can Take advantage of this golden opportunity to reshuffle the cards inside Taicheng."

"Taicheng shuffle" is generally understood as the replacement of the empire center.However, now that Wang Maohong is still the honorary chief assistant, it is certainly impossible for Cheng Jinyang to let his father-in-law go to support the elderly.

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

But those above the prime minister.

"The Dragon Army still needs to be rescued." Cheng Jinyang said in a deep voice, "It's not for political struggle, but to preserve vitality for the human side as much as possible."

"That's natural." Wang Maohong said in agreement, "Just do your best to save it."

Cheng Jinyang realized something was wrong when he heard it, and asked in a low voice:
"The Northern Expedition was defeated?"

"At about 10 o'clock this morning, the main force of the Longxiang Army was restrained in the north, and a group of high-ranking monsters took a detour from the left wing and captured the city of Wuchang across the river." Cui Congyan replied, "Wuchang lost, and Jingzhou It's hard to guarantee, so the Longxiang army will definitely return to help."

Cheng Jinyang: ………………

The feeling is that Yu Zhongshu went too far alone, and changed his home after being cut off by the enemy.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind:
Is it possible that the fathers-in-law did not tell Yu Yuangui on purpose after they learned about the military situation?
No, the fathers-in-law stayed in Jingkou, and it was impossible for them to grasp the military situation in the area behind the enemy line compared to the Longxiang Army. It should be Yu Yuangui's own problem.

In other words, no matter whether I go to the rescue or not, the Northern Expedition plan will be regarded as a failure.

After the news reached the empire, the public opinion that had been bloodied because of my restoration of Sichuan and Shu was afraid that it would be poured with cold water again...

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

"Everyone, before Yu Yuangui's Northern Expedition, someone once judged that 'in this Northern Expedition, we will win first and then lose'. Look at it, can it be considered a fulfillment?"

"Jinyang really has a good plan." Chu Jiye took the lead in clapping his hands and sighed, and the others followed suit.

Cheng Jinyang felt relieved when he heard this, yes.

Didn't I make a judgment before the war started?

The north is strong and the south is weak, basically unchanged. How is it possible to rely on the Longxiang Army to take down Nanyu Prefecture?

The fall of Zhu City was not so much Yu Yuangui's mistake as a result of being crushed.If there are enough troops, why not leave enough manpower on the north bank of Wuchang for defense?

It's already pretty good to be able to recover Sichuan and Shu, isn't it!

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

Continuing to talk about things in Sichuan and Shu, Cheng Jinyang proposed that he hoped that the five surnames would "give a helping hand" to help Sichuan and Shu "restore and rebuild" and "maintain order".

Naturally, the fathers-in-law had no reason to refuse such a steady profit without loss.After all, Sichuan and Shu, as the land of abundance, have been far away from the Central Plains for a hundred years, and there has been a slight war, so they have accumulated a large population.

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

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

When it comes to doing business, no one can compare to these old-fashioned families-just because the bloodline ability and production activities fit this point, the advantage is basically enough.

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

The next step is to convene the shogunate and announce the next decision-making route.

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

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

"I'm worried about you." Su Lili said with a smile, "I'll leave my daughter to Ash 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 worthy of being a demon in this respect. The childbirth did not bring any fat to her abdomen, and her face and body were still exquisite and perfect, but there was a bit more mature temperament in her eyebrows and eyes.

Or, closer to a certain maternal temperament.
