Chapter 2947 Those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a domain
The Qin Hai Trade is undoubtedly a cake that all forces covet. After all, relying solely on porcelain, silk, weapons, and some useless debris, it can be traded for a large amount of materials for development, and its huge profits can be called robbing money.
However, whether it is opening up new routes or joining old routes, it requires great manpower, material resources and financial resources. Obviously, it is not something that the Central Plains countries can do. Before completing those prerequisites, they can only watch the Qin Dynasty make money with envy and jealousy.
After Liu Yu learned that Daqin had made a fortune through the sea trade, he naturally immediately put in the sea trade department of Daqin. First, to inquire about information and understand the specific process, and second, to prepare for the sea trade in Shu Han in the future.
Although Ying Hao had expected this, the hostile spy was like a leek, cutting one after another. Unless the unification was completely completed, people would be sent to kill, and there would always be one or two lucky people who could escape the investigation of the Black Ice Platform.
According to the information sent back by the spy from Shu Han, Liu Yu learned that the transactions between Annan and Daqin were settled using ore, jewelry, fur, and herbs, and the proportion of real money and silver was very low.
This is enough to prove that Annan is not as rich as Yingzhou. After all, if he is really rich, how could Ruan and Yue not trade with Daqin without gold and silver?
There is no sufficient profit to impress Liu Xiu without real money, which is also the reason why Liu Yu said that Annan birds do not shit.
"Your Majesty, the value of a place is not reflected by gold and silver. For example, Annan, this area actually has many hidden values."
Hearing Su Qin''s words, Liu Yu hurriedly asked, "What about?"
"Annan has a warm climate and fertile land. As long as it can be fully developed, it will be a natural granary..."
Before Su Qin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yu with a disappointed look on his face and said, "Military advisor, you also said that the premise of building Annan into a granary is to be thoroughly developed. However, if you want to develop this wild land, it not only requires a large amount of manpower and material resources, but also requires a lot of time to develop it, but now it is no longer the same as before."
Liu Yu thought Su Qin had any great arguments, but he didn''t expect that he just wanted Liu Xiu to develop Annan.
Regardless of whether Liu Xiu will invest resources to develop Annan, even Ying Hao will not give Liu Xiu time to develop.
The Qin Dynasty will not stop the pace of unification, and the decisive battle between the Qin and Han Dynasties is imminent. At this time, wasting resources to develop Annan is seeking death.
Liu Yu didn''t believe this truth and Su Qin didn''t understand it, but what he didn''t expect was that Su Qin smiled indifferently and said, "Your Majesty, the granary is only one of the values ??of Annan. There is a more important value here, and it is this level that makes Liu Yu unable to refuse."
“What’s the value?”
“The way out.”
Of course, Liu Yu knew the power of the word "back road", but his face became extremely ugly. After all, winning the decisive battle naturally requires no way out, and only if he cannot win the battle, he needs a way out. Su Qin''s words are obviously full of pessimism about the future decisive battle.
In fact, it’s not just Su Qin, but even Liu Yu himself doesn’t have much confidence, but he won’t give up because of this. All he can do is rack his brains and improve his winning rate at any cost.
Before Su Qin proposed the theory of retreat, Liu Yu did not think that after his defeat, he would go into exile overseas and slowly make a comeback overseas, but he eventually gave up this idea. There are two reasons:
First, in Liu Yu''s opinion, even the wealth of Yizhou cannot beat the Qin Dynasty, and it is even more impossible to exile to a barren overseas. It is meaningless to survive like this.
Second, Liu Yu did not want to be buried in his land after his death, and he could not even return to his hometown.
Therefore, instead of struggling overseas without being decent, it is better to die in a heroic battle in the decisive battle, and perhaps leave a better evaluation in history books.
If he really put all his efforts into defeat, Liu Yu could accept such a result. After all, it would not be embarrassing to lose to Ying Hao, but he could not accept that the decisive battle had not started yet, but his planner Su Qin had lost confidence first.
Seeing that Liu Yu''s face looked so ugly, Su Qin knew that his words had already reached him. On the surface, he said that Annan was the way for Chu State to retreat, but in fact he borrowed Chu State to give Liu Yu.
The State of Chu still has a way out. If it cannot destroy the Southern Barbarians, Shu Han would not even have a way out.
Su Qin''s purpose of doing this is twofold. First, it is to increase the urgency in Liu Yu''s heart, and second, it is to change his attitude towards exile overseas, at least not so resistant.
Su Qin has always known that Liu Yu, as a warrior, had a decisive attitude towards the decisive battle that he would die if he couldn''t win. This was indeed a relief for him, but as a literati, he didn''t want Liu Yu to die just like that.
After Ye Qingmei started the era of great navigation, the widespread dissemination of the map of the nations made Su Qin know that the world outside China is also vast, and at the same time, he also realized that they were experiencing a great era that had not been seen in a thousand years, so naturally he was unwilling to leave the market in this era.
The reason why Liu Yu was unwilling to go into exile overseas was because he could not see hope for a comeback, but in Su Qin''s opinion, although the possibility of fighting back was low, it was not without hope at all.
As long as there is hope, we must fight for it. Besides, the current Qin Dynasty is the spark preserved by the pre-Qin period, but it will explode in four hundred years!
Therefore, while Su Qin helped Liu Yu plan to destroy the Southern Barbarians and prepare for the decisive battle between the Qin and Han Dynasties, he was still exiled overseas after defeat, retaining the spark for the future revival of the Han Dynasty.
In his opinion, Shu Han can perish, but the great cause of anti-Qin must continue, and the fire must be preserved. If it really reaches the point where it has to withdraw from China and go into exile overseas, then Liu Yu, the backbone, must be missing.
Therefore, Su Qin had to give up Liu Yu''s idea of ??dying to ensure that the defeated Shu Han could establish a country overseas again and retain the spark of revival.
Liu Yu actually understood Su Qin''s painstaking efforts, but he was a person who had already been full of holes in his heart. For him, dying to protect the country was the best relief. Shamelessly lingering in lingering was a kind of torture. But with Su Qin in Liu Yu, it was probably a luxury to die.
The reason why Su Qin did not directly point out now is that he hoped that Liu Yu could figure it out by himself, otherwise he would have to use the righteousness of the king and the ancestors to conduct moral kidnapping, which was also called Pua in later generations;
The situation in Shu Han is now very good, and exile is still a bit far away. Moreover, if the Southern Barbarians cannot be destroyed, the Shu Han, without a way out, cannot even exile overseas. Therefore, for Shu Han, the most urgent task is to solve the troubles in front of the Southern Barbarians first. "Military advisor, will Liu Xiuzhen conquer Annan because of the word ''retreat''?"
Liu Yu believed that he knew Liu Xiu very well. With Liu Xiu''s contemptuous attitude towards overseas, he should have the same idea as him. Instead of exile and surviving overseas, it is better to be bravely executed in China to win the reputation of his life and death.
I have to say that Liu Yu still saw Liu Xiu very accurately. Liu Xiu was a person who cherished his reputation very much. Otherwise, he would not have broken the defense because of rumors about Cao Ying. It would be better to let him die if he let him die if he let him go after his country was destroyed.
But after hearing Liu Yu''s words, Su Qin smiled indifferently. Although he did not answer, he was silent than sound, and Liu Yu also became silent.
Yes, just like my own side, if they really fall to the point of a country destruction, Liu Yu''s subordinates will definitely have a large number of people who are unwilling to let them die in battle, and they will tie him up overseas to establish another Chu State.
Liu Yu thought that in order to avenge his shame, he was forced to lie on firewood and taste gall, and he had no choice but to this moment, he had a deeper understanding of the four words "involuntary".
It is one thing to be passive and involuntarily, but it is another thing to be active and involuntarily.
Liu Yu shook his head suddenly and dispelled the distracting thoughts in his heart. He found that if it was true, as Su Qin said, and it would be ignored for the time being, but if the Chu State really did its best to capture Annan, then Shu Han''s confidence in destroying the Southern Barbarians would be greatly improved.
As long as Shu Han can destroy the Southern Barbarians, the two major regions of Siam and Hohwasha will completely open their doors to Shu Han. At that time, whether it is trading with them or sending troops to plunder directly, the comprehensive national strength of Shu Han can be greatly improved.
If Shu Han really came to this point, and then joined forces with Chu, which occupied the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, it might not be able to compete with the Qin Dynasty, which destroyed the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, based on the direction of the Yangtze River.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Yu''s eyes became brighter. Although he would rather die than go abroad, if he reserved a "back path" to strengthen himself and improve the decisive victory rate, he naturally didn''t mind leaving himself a back path that would never be used.
"Military advisors are really gods, and one word makes me suddenly enlightened."
After saying that, Liu Yu repeated the plan that Lu Zhi had offered to Su Qin again.
After hearing this, Su Qin was overjoyed and said, "Concubine Lu''s plan is very wonderful. If it is perfected, it will at least increase our army''s chances of winning."
Even Su Qin had to admit that Lu Zhi directly attacked Chi You''s personality weakness, which he didn''t even expect.
On the surface, although Lu Zhi''s plan is a bit simple and it is not certain whether it can succeed or not, if it is implemented, Su Qin will definitely improve it in order to achieve the greatest possibility of success.
Hearing Su Qin say this, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Now at least 70% of the chance of winning.
As long as Chi You, a powerful enemy, is still there, even if the Qin Dynasty does not directly send troops to intervene, Liu Yu is only 50% sure to destroy the Southern Barbarians.
But if the Chu State captures the Annan coast and cuts off the material support of the Qin Dynasty, he will be 60% sure.
If Su Qin''s plan to improve Lu Zhi after the improvement is successfully implemented, it will be 70%.
There has never been a 100% chance of winning in the world, and the 70% chance is already quite high. If it cannot defeat Chiyou and destroy the Southern Barbarians, then Liu Yu will have no shame to compete with Ying Hao.
"Chiyou, I won''t give you another chance this time."
Looking at Liu Yu with a full of fighting spirit on his face, Su Qin felt a little guilty. He actually wanted to increase the winning rate of Shu Han, but that''s all the cards he could play, so at most he could only do this level.
As the saying goes: Those who do not plan the overall situation are not enough to plan a territory.
Su Qin is undoubtedly the one who plans the overall situation, but Shu Han does not have many trump cards available, so even if he calculates various forces such as Qin, Chu, Shu, and even overseas forces, it can only bring 70% of the winning rate to Shu Han. This is not a variable after real implementation.
Su Qin knew that the plan was improved early, but as long as Ying Hao intervened, it would be destined to have variables, but he had no choice but to do so. All he could do was reduce the risk coefficient of variables.
"Your Majesty, the envoy from Cao Wei is about to arrive. Cao Cao sent envoys here again. I am afraid that he is dissatisfied with us detaining Cao Ying, so he sent someone to protest." Su Qin smiled lightly.
"Cao Cao is too busy to take care of himself now. Although we don''t have to pay attention, it is not nice to force a marriage to someone else''s daughter after all. It''s better to send Cao Ying to Chu before the Cao Wei envoy arrives."
I have to say that Liu Yu wants the benefits, such as half of the benefits of Chu sending troops to Yingzhou, while the disadvantages are not at all, such as deducting the infamy of the Wei envoy Cao Ying.
If the envoy of Cao Wei arrives and sends Cao Ying out, it is not his responsibility. If anyone marrying Cao Ying in the future and whoever Cao Wei finds, even if there will be controversy, Liu Xiu will bear all the infamy.
Liu Xiu naturally knew this, but the hidden benefits of marrying Cao Ying were too great. Although there may be some hidden dangers, it was nothing to him, so he could only scold Liu Yu and cooperate honestly.
