Xianyang, Qin State.

King Qin said with a lingering heart: "Before, the widow sent troops to attack Wei, and he wanted to submit to Wei, but Wei would rather give up Hedong than give in to the widow, and the widow hated it.

But now, the Wei State has retreated to the east, and although the widow wants to teach the Wei State another lesson, there is a Korean gap in the middle, and it is difficult to send troops. ”

Saying that, Qin Wangdang looked at Sima Cuo and Wei Ran and said, "I don't know if that virtuous Qing can submit to Korea for the widow and open the way to the east for my Qin army." ”

When the two heard this, Wei Ran didn't speak, and Sima Cuo immediately surrendered his hand and asked, "King, the minister is willing to go." ”

At this time, Wei Ran opened his mouth and said: "King, no, the right prime minister is famous, if the prime minister goes, South Korea will be afraid, and then protect Yiyang with the power of the whole country, and ask Zhao Weichu and other countries for help."

Yiyang is a city, the city is high and the pool is deep, and the soldiers are well fed, and the equipment is abundant, if South Korea blindly insists, although our Qin army is brave, even if it pays the price of more than half of the casualties, it may not be able to conquer Yiyang.

Moreover, the king of Han and the king of Chu have a father-son relationship, if the king of Han asks the king of Chu for help, once the king of Chu mediates, I don't know how the king will deal with himself.

Therefore, the minister thought that if the king wanted to submit to Korea, it would be inconvenient for the right prime minister and the minister to lead the troops to battle. ”

King Qin was stunned, thought about it carefully, and found that attacking Korea was indeed much more complicated than Wei.

One is that South Korea is still vigorous, and the other is that King Han Jise has a close relationship with the King of Chu, once South Korea asks for help from Chu, then Chu is very likely to send troops to intervene.

In this way, it will not only destroy the friendly relations between Qin and Chu, but also may lead to the failure of the invasion of Korea, and even cause Korea to get closer to Chu.

Thinking about it, Qin Wangdang looked at Wei Ran and said, "I don't know what strategy Prime Minister Zuo has to help the widow surrender to Korea and Wei." ”

Wei Ran immediately responded: "The king, the minister's foolish opinion, my Qin State can immediately send someone to lobby the King of Han, just say that the King wants to destroy Wei, and hopes that Korea will take advantage of Qin and send troops to assist the Qin State."

Korea is close to Wei, and will not borrow troops to borrow the road, so that the king can send troops to attack Korea.

As long as the king sends the right generals and the right army, Korea will definitely not immediately ask for help from Chu.

Then, as long as our Qin army defeats the Korean army, then South Korea can be captured. ”

King Qin asked with a smile: "I don't know who Xianqing thinks, who is the right general?" And what is the right army? ”

Wei Ran arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, General Bai Qi is proficient in the art of war and is familiar with warfare. ”

Saying that, Wei Ran bowed down: "The minister is willing to promote the general Bai Qi as a general." ”

Qin Wangdang looked at Wei Ran, he was a little dissatisfied with Wei Ran's comparison of Bai Qi to Wu Qi, thinking that Wei Ran was bragging, but he also knew the relationship between Wei Ran and Bai Qi, and the relationship between the two was too close.

Wei Ran promoted Bai Qi to the army, and married his daughter-in-law, and this relationship was extremely intimate.

However, according to the tradition of the Qin State, in order to avoid the loss of peace between the generals, the leading generals of the Qin State were either the prime minister himself, or the prime minister recommended the generals to go on the expedition, and Wei Ran was not wrong to recommend Bai Qi.

Thinking about it, Qin Wangdang looked at the right prime minister Sima Cuo, nodded and responded: "But, then take Bai Qi as the general." ”

As he spoke, Qin Wangdang asked again: "How much does the prime minister think he needs to send troops?" ”

Wei Ran smiled: "Then it depends on what the king means."

If the king only wants to make Korea superficially submit and take advantage of it, then only 50,000 troops will be enough. If the king wants to change the Korean minister, then he needs an army of 100,000.

If the king wanted to make Korea submit, then he would need an army of 150,000. If the king still wants Wei and Erzhou, then he needs an army of 200,000. ”

When Qin Wang Dang heard this, he laughed.

A month later.

The palace of the king of Chu.

Deng Lingguang reported: "My lord, not long ago, the king of Qin sent 50,000 troops to attack Han on the grounds that the king of Han refused to use the Qin state to attack Wei. ”

"White up! 50,000 Qin troops? Xiong Huai was stunned.

He calculated that the Qin State would send troops to attack Han, but he didn't count that the Qin State would attack Han like this.

He also knows the name of killing gods and people in vain, but with only 50,000 Qin troops, what can this do?

With the scale of Yiyang City in South Korea, 50,000 Qin troops will be used up in two circles around Yiyang City, how can they hurt South Korea and force South Korea to submit.

After thinking about it, Xiong Huai couldn't guess King Qin's calculations, and asked, "How is the Korean side dealing with it now?" ”

Deng Lingguang responded: "Back to the king, everyone in Korea thinks that the Qin State sent a general, which is the annoyance of the King of Qin, he just wants to save face, capture one or two small cities, and then collect troops and return to China."

Therefore, the king of Han ordered to lead 50,000 Han troops to resist the Qin army. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment and asked, "King Han didn't ask for help from Zhao or Wei, or even the widow and Qi State?" Didn't let people mediate? ”

"Back to the king." Deng Lingguang responded: "As soon as the South Korean people heard that the 50,000 Qin troops were coming, they didn't mention asking for help, nor did they mention mediation, they were confident that they could repel this Qin army."

"Oh!" Xiong Huai nodded, and then sighed silently in his heart: "It is estimated that maybe, probably, probably, this time Korea is over." ”

After a pause, Xiong Huai ordered: "Continue to pay attention to the South Korean side and contact the ministers of various countries." ”

"Yui."

A few days later.

Xiong Huai got up early in the morning, and only then did he put on his clothes under the service of Mrs. Song, at this time, a waiter hurriedly came over and reported: "King, the grandson of Gong Yin has come to report, Gong Yin Xue last night." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, pondered for a long time, and sighed: "Prepare the car, the widow wants to send Mr. on the last ride." ”

"Yui."

Prince's Mansion.

The prince looked at the ministers in front of him and said: "Gu just got the news that Gong Yin died of illness last night, and when my father got the news, he did not immediately announce the candidate for Gong Yin, but went to Gong Yin's mansion to worship.

With Gu's understanding of his father, his father will definitely summon the ministers to discuss the candidate for Gong Yin this time, I don't know who you think Lone should promote? ”

As soon as the words fell, the state marquis immediately spoke: "Prince, Pan Jun is virtuous, manages the prince's mansion in an orderly manner, and has never made a mistake, and the minister thinks that Pan Jun can work as a worker." ”

The prince glanced at the expressionless Zhou Hou, and then at Pan Jun, who was full of expectation, thought about it, and finally shook his head.

He also hoped that Pan Jun would be able to obtain the position of Gongyin, who was not only in charge of the fortifications of the Chu State and had a large number of artisan slaves in his hands, but also had military power.

What's more, the five-color stone of the Chu State, the Wahuang paper and other artifacts were all mastered by Gong Yin.

If Pan Jun can serve as Gongyin, then his power will skyrocket, and he will never have to worry about money from now on.

However, he knew very well in his heart that his father would definitely not choose Pan Jun.

Thinking about it, the prince shook his head and comforted: "Although Gu knows that Pan Jun is virtuous, the decision to choose the candidate for Gongyin this time is still in the hands of my father.

And Pan Jun has never been in contact with fortifications, and his father uses people to be able to confer positions, even if he recommends Jun alone, Jun may not be able to get the position of Gongyin.

It's the same as not long ago, Lone recommended Xiangyang Shou Ye Xun to be Ye Junshou. ”

When everyone heard about Ye Junshou's matter, they all frowned, and then they didn't recommend candidates at random.

Xianyang, Qin State.

When everyone heard about Ye Junshou's matter, they all frowned, and then stopped recommending candidates at random, so as not to fail in the recommendation, and make the prince dissatisfied, let alone let the prince's reputation be damaged.
