When the last chapter came to the truth, it made Fan Li think of a sentence that was contained in the [Paradigm Plan] …

After I heard the words, my body began to tremble violently, and I couldn't help but think of the sentence in Fan Ziran: "The teacher must first accumulate food, money, cloth and silk, do not first accumulate, soldiers and soldiers hungry, hunger is easy to hurt." A battle cannot be fought if it is too late. A battle cannot be heard, cannot be seen, cannot be seen, cannot be carried out. A retreat cannot be solved, a retreat cannot be carried out. Hunger cannot be moved, and the air is gone for thousands of miles. The head and the emperor, the strong crossbow do not enlist, cannot be. Seeing the weak side of the army, they walked like dogs chasing sheep. I died on the ground from the bottom of the hill, stiff from the front and stiff from the back. "

My heart thumped wildly. "Although the soldiers have high morale in order to regain their land! However, if our army cannot fight the FN in one go and the food supply is difficult to reach, it will definitely cause the morale of our soldiers to plummet. How could they be expected to fight bravely when the war was people-centred and the soldiers were so hungry that they couldn't even lift their weapons? Zi Hong's words really fit the meaning of the words contained in < Fan Zi Ji > as to the importance of food! "

Fan Ju was obviously lost in thought after hearing Chen Zhen's words. After Fan Ju slightly straightened out his thoughts, he asked: "Then what do you mean by that Zi Hong? Don't tell me you want to say you don't want to take back the Sunan and the Nine Truths Commandery? " Just as he was shaking his head fiercely, he tried to defend himself: "No! I would never have meant that! " Fan Ju felt that it was even weirder, "Then what do you mean by that?"

He was just saying to me, "My lord, can you let me analyze the weakness of our army?" I nodded and said, "All right! Zi Hong, if you have anything to say, just say it! "

After obtaining my permission, he continued, "Other than the fact that my strength is not enough to fight against the Founan, I have other shortcomings! There were some wicked Scholars who included the wandering citizens into their own serfs or servants to hide their populations and did not pay taxes to the officials, causing a lot of losses to the officials. These unscrupulous people are another potential threat within the Lord. This is because the Lord had once severely disrupted the Scholars's influence in the Jiao Prefecture, so as long as there is a chance, they would stand up and take back all their power! If we were to fight with the FN, they would definitely take the chance to cause a ruckus. When Liu Dai allied their forces to attack Yu Lin, wouldn't that be a good proof? Although the newly formed Scholars s wanted to support their Master, they were like infants who had just been born. As long as they were given a light pinch, they would suffocate to death! They need time to nurture their own forces and the support of their lord so that they can overthrow the old Scholars's deep-rooted influence in the Jiao Prefecture! "

"Ugh!" This is what Zi Hong said, Chang Le will definitely do as he says! " I agree. He then smiled at me with gratitude and continued, "Master, Zhang Miao and Tao Qian's new soldiers have yet to submit to us. They are forced to go forth to fight against the Founan. Furthermore, even if the lord had made any good decisions, disobeying these soldiers' commands would still be a headache! On this point, the Founan is different from us, because the citizens of the Founan have lived a peaceful and comfortable life for the past few years, thus the citizens and soldiers are happy to listen to the King's orders.

I nodded in agreement. Right! Right! Zi Hong is right! " Just then, he chuckled lightly and continued, "Our second weakness is that the soldiers of Zhang Miao, Tao Qian and other forces are a little unscrupulous, they are obstructing the main road! When we fight with the Founan, troops that transport military supplies will definitely be robbed by bandits. There will be bandits who try to stop us along the way and consume as much as they can during transportation, so the amount of materials that can be transported to the army won't even reach a fraction! Furthermore, since there were too many bandits along the way, Shang Jia would definitely not dare to come here to trade. This would be detrimental to the development of the business! The citizens' lives and property could not be protected, which showed the incompetence of the government. So the bandits must be exterminated! "

"The experts surrounding our army, the Jingzhou include Liu Biao, Yizhou include Liu Yan, Jiang Dong and Sun Jian. These three powerhouses are the strongest in the world! If the soldiers of our entire nation were to attack the Founan, how would we respond to them? On the other hand, there is nothing around the borders of the Founan that could threaten their existence. This is one of our disadvantages! "

Just as he paused for a moment, he continued his analysis, "There is another flaw! Tao Qian and the rest of the soldiers are outsiders, it is hard to avoid conflicts with us local people in Jiao Prefecture. It was a common occurrence for locals to crowd out outsiders! Due to the fact that the invasion of Liu Yao and Zhang Jiao had previously brought about a large number of outsiders to the Jiao Prefecture, there was not much difference in the total number of locals of Jiao Prefecture who had suffered a huge decline in their population due to the war. This was the reason why neither side was able to suppress the other. After outsiders entered the Jiao Prefecture, they occupied a certain amount of land and started to clash with the locals. Moreover, some of the outsiders were unsatisfied with the fact that they were being pushed aside by the locals and living in poverty. Because of this, the locals and outsiders would occasionally suffer a small loss of blood. He was afraid that the people of Founan would create rumors and instigate a fierce conflict between the locals and the locals! This was a huge threat to the stability of the country's security! Master, please do not forget, Mr. Ma Jun has contributed a lot to the development of our Jiao Prefecture, but he was almost thrown into the river by the people to offer sacrifice to the Prince Long! Moreover, the Jiao Prefecture already had a large number of races, so they could escape from the influx of Chinese people. It was not a problem for them, but the Chinese people and the Hundred Vietnamese s might not get along well, and it would benefit the people from South Fu Clan to sow discord and discord! Therefore, the Lord had to work hard to promote national unity! With these few points, it can be seen that if our army were to fight with the Founan, the odds of victory are not high! "

Hearing that, I bowed with my hands folded. "Zi Hong, all of you are talking about the pros and cons of Jiao Prefecture! What kind of opinions does Chang Le want to hear from Zi Hong? "

And he said, "My lord, rest assured! Zi Hong has already thought about it. " I extended my right hand in a "please" gesture and said, "Zi Hong, feel free to speak!"

He had a puzzled expression on his face, but he refused to speak. Seeing this, I anxiously asked: "Zi Hong, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you saying anything! " He replied, "My lord, this subordinate still doesn't understand. After hearing my humble opinion, this lord has decided to send troops to fight the Founan, or to temporarily endure humiliation and recuperate to restore his territory in the future."

I replied without hesitation, "Right now, we can only rest with the people. Once we have accumulated enough strength, we will definitely take back all the humiliation! Therefore, please don't be suspicious anymore, Zi Hong. If you have a good strategy, please say it! "

He just changed the topic, "First there are extraordinary people, then there are extraordinary things, and finally there are extraordinary achievements! "Looking at all the extraordinary things that ordinary people do in the history of the world, there will always be countless ordinary people criticizing and criticizing them. Those who have yet to accomplish anything extraordinary can only live on in agony while bearing the burden of cursing …"

I know what that means. After all, if I abandon my land and don't take it back, everyone will blame me for treason and cowardice. But our forces are weak, so our chances of victory against the Founan is not high. As the "Fan Ziran" said, the entire country's military forces had been out fighting for years. If they were defeated, the dead would be scattered everywhere, and the land would be lost, while the country would be destroyed. A soldier was a great matter to the nation! He had to be extremely careful! For this reason, the most important method for the weak to defeat the strong was often to endure! No matter how much he endured, he still had to endure! He had to bear with it, wait for himself to have sufficient strength, then the shame he had previously suffered would be repaid from his opponent! Yes! I have to endure it now! Patience was the best way for the weak to defeat the strong!

I have made up my mind. I will not hesitate to destroy my glorious name and bear the insults of the world. I will only save this land for the future generations, so as to reclaim Jiuzhen and Zhennan with confidence! I resolutely said to Zheng, "Zi Hong, when King Zhao Wu Ling was riding on his horse, his countrymen were against him. He endured endless insults and insisted on his right decision. In the end, the army of the State of Zhao became a strong army and expanded the territory of the State of Zhao. Also, when Shang Jun and Qin Xiaozui changed the law, there were many voices of opposition in the country. There were people who kept telling him to stop changing the law in front of him, but he and the Shang family insisted on it. After a few years, it would be convenient for the people to adapt to the new law. Zi Hong, you don't have to worry about it! I've made up my mind! Even if I were to become a thousand fingers, ten thousand people scolding me, leaving page after page of scolding behind me in the annals of history, as long as I can preserve this piece of land for my descendants in the future, I will never regret it! Since I am the history of the Jiao Prefecture, I have the responsibility of preserving a complete Jiao Prefecture for my descendants, so I cannot fall into the hands of outsiders! This is my mission! "

When the crowd saw me so filled with righteousness, they couldn't help but be shocked. Everyone was deeply touched. Looking at me with excitement, I can see the expectation in his eyes. I have never let him down! He had expected that I would be able to submit and endure all the suffering that ordinary people could not endure! This is one of the reasons why he is so loyal to me!

He was staring at me intently and said, "My lord, I think you should pretend to be weak and incompetent, and humbly respond to the matter of the Founan taking over Jiuzhen and the Sunan prefectures! This shows that we do not have the courage to make enemies with them, but are secretly accumulating strength and actively preparing for battle. However, could the Lord?

"Humble? Sigh! Fine! Zi Hong, I know what to do now! " I shook my head, my eyes brimming with tears. Sigh! I would rather die than be humble enough to please the enemy who has taken over the territory of my country! Sigh! However, the situation was oppressing. If he wanted to bring the Nine Truths and the Sunan Commandery back to the big man, he could only bear with it! Endure the humiliation that was thousands of times worse than death! He knew what I was thinking, but there was nothing else he could do.
