Jiange looks like it is not prosperous at all.
After listening to Zhou Heng's words, Jiang Ai also showed a bit of embarrassment on his face.
"This matter has to start from a year ago!"
Jiang Ai explained to Zhou Heng what caused Jiange's current barren state. It should be said that Jiange was indeed more prosperous than it is now.
Jiange is a city on the border between Xiyi and Nanliang. Many business travelers from Xiyi and Nanliang will come to Jiange for trade.
However, due to the changes in Nanliang a year ago, the drought in Nanliang, and the shortage of food in Nanliang, merchants from Nanliang seldom come to Jiange to do business with Xiyi.
They chose countries like Dazhou and Nanchu which were more developed than Xiyi.
And Dong Xian also began to increase taxes. Zhu You led the attack on Hanzhong. Dong Xian raised one-third of the army's salary, and the army's salary was all from Jiange.
Because of these two reasons, the Jiange fell into a slump, causing the Jiange to become what it is now.
After Jiang Ai's choice, Zhou Heng seemed to understand.
"Your Highness, I have prepared a place for you to stay. Come with me!" Jiang Ai took Zhou Heng to the place where he lived. Although the Jiange was barren, it was also prosperous before.
It is not a problem to find a better place to live for Zhou Heng.
Come to the mansion where you live.
"The temporary preparations are a bit rough, please don't take offense, Your Highness! I will find a good place for Your Highness tomorrow." Jiang Ai said a little embarrassed.
Zhou Heng is the prince of the Great Zhou, and the place where he lives must be several times better than what he sees.
"Don't be so troublesome, I won't stay in Jiange for too long."
Zhou Heng waved his hand, explained to Jiang Ai, and walked into the mansion that Jiang Ai had prepared for himself.
"Is Your Highness going north?"
Jiang Ai expressed his guess. Now that Jiange has also been taken down, Zhou Heng, the land in the south of Xiyi, is basically in his hands. In Jiang Ai's view, Zhou Heng should go north.
This time Zhou Heng led the army to attack Xiyi, far from just a mere southern place, Zhou Heng's eyes were on the whole Xiyi.
Zhou Heng shook his head.
"No, you guessed wrong, I'm going to Nanliang."
Zhou Heng said to Jiang Ai.
"Nanliang?"
Jiang Ai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Zhou Heng came to Jiange not to attack Jiange but wanted to go to Nanliang.
"That's right, I'm not going to hide it from you. The Great Zhou's capture of Xiyi has aroused the fear of the other six countries. They think that once we capture Xiyi, they will oppress other countries. The Southern Tang has raised troops and called the world to boycott my Great Zhou." , Nan Chu and Nan Liang agree with Nan Tang's words."
"The Three Kingdoms Alliance has now raised 300,000 troops and arrived at my southern border, so I'm going to Nanliang"
Zhou Heng told Jiang Ai the whole thing, and he didn't hide anything from Jiang Ai. Jiang Ai listened to Zhou Heng's words, and Jiang Ai looked at Zhou Heng.
There was curiosity in Jiang Ai's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Heng looked at Jiang Ai with a little difference, not understanding why he looked at himself with such eyes.
"Your Highness, don't you really have any precautions against me?" Jiang Ai asked, does Zhou Heng really trust himself so much?
Zhou Heng nodded.
"Of course, as I said, I don't need to be suspicious, and I don't need to be suspicious when I employ people. I trust you, Jiang Ai." Zhou Heng replied very seriously.
Zhou Heng really trusted Jiang Ai.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust. Jiang Ai can't reciprocate!" Jiang Ai cupped his fists to salute Zhou Heng. He didn't expect Zhou Heng to trust him so much. It was really an accident, and he didn't expect it at all.
Jiang Ai has never felt this kind of trust. From Dong Xian and the others, Jiang Ai was always excluded, and Jiang Ai was excluded.
But now that she is trusted, Jiang Ai suddenly has a sense of satisfaction and a sense of belonging in her heart. This is a recognized achievement.
"The general is serious!"
Zhou Heng asked Jiang Ai to get up.
"You are more familiar with the land of Xiyi than we are. I will leave an order. After I leave, Feng Zheng and the others will need to discuss everything with you in the land of Xiyi. What do you think?"
Zhou Heng asked Jiang Ai.
Jiang Ai was stunned again. Although Zhou Heng's words did not directly give a person in charge of power, it was already a lot of power.
I have just surrendered to Zhou Heng, to have such trust, to be able to giveJiang Ai didn't even dare to think about such rights, it really felt like a dream.
"me?"
Jiang Ai still couldn't believe his ears, Jiang Ai thought he heard it wrong.
"That's right, it's you. I think you are the most suitable." Zhou Heng gave Jiang Ai an affirmative answer and asked Jiang Ai to confirm his news.
"Your Highness, I dare not be the last general. The last general is just a surrendered general."
Jiang Ai felt that he was not up to the task. He was just a surrendered person. How could he take on this important task? The task Zhou Heng gave himself was too heavy.
Zhou Heng smiled and waved his hands after hearing Jiang Ai's words.
"You are worrying too much, this matter has nothing to do with your surrender, and you are now my general of the Great Zhou, you can take on this important task, you are from Xiyi, you are more familiar with Xiyi than we are. "
Zhou Heng waved his hand, expressing that he believed in Jiang Ai's ability very much. Jiang Ai was too humble in front of him.
After listening to Zhou Heng's words, Jiang Ai looked at Zhou Heng. Since Zhou Heng had said so, Jiang Ai didn't continue to be hypocritical. Jiang Ai looked at Zhou Heng.
"Since His Highness said so, then Jiang Ai must live up to his trust."
Jiang Ai replied seriously.
"Okay, this is Jiang Ai."
Zhou Heng nodded in satisfaction. This is what he wanted. With Jiang Ai's help, Zhou Heng believed that taking Xiyi would be easier, simpler, and smoother.
"Your Highness, if you want to take down Xiyi, you can't just rely on military strength. Attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the heart is the top priority. We still need to obtain the approval of the Xiyi people."
Jiang Ai said to Zhou Heng.
Blindly attacking is the way of bandits. Even if you take down Xiyi, it is useless, and it will not make people truly surrender to you.
Therefore, a two-pronged approach must be taken. On the one hand, we must send troops to capture the city, and on the other hand, we must win people's hearts. When we are quiet and active, the two assist each other to accomplish great things.
Zhou Heng nodded.
Jiang Ai is worthy of claiming to have the talent of a unicorn, and what he said really hit the nail on the head. This is what Zhou Heng has been confused about. Zhou Heng also knows the truth of what Jiang Ai said, but he just doesn't know how to win people's hearts.
"What the general said is that a word from the general made me see the light of day. It's just that it's easy to say, but it's difficult to do it. Is there anything the general can do?"
Zhou Heng asked Jiang Ai.
"From the point of view of the last general, attacking a city is much easier than attacking one's heart. Sending out troops to attack and kill each other is a bad strategy, but it is the most direct way. Attacking one's heart is a difficult thing, and it is difficult to change people's hearts, so this matter We must proceed step by step, not blindly."
Jiang Ai said. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
