Chapter 699: Lü Buwei's Good Idea (Fourth Update)
As the saying goes, this clay figure also has three points of fire.
Lü Buwei, as the prime minister of Qin, is an existence above 10,000 people under one person, even the current prince and the future king of Qin have to respect him for three points, but now he is so robbed by Cai Ze in front of everyone, how can this make Lü Buwei step down?
Therefore, Lu Buwei also flicked his sleeves and sneered: "Gang Chengjun, what you said is interesting, now Le Cheng has taken tens of thousands of Zhao troops to lay a defensive line on the east bank of the Yellow River, and Li Mu has gathered 30,000 cavalry to eyeing the border of Hetao County. In such a grave situation, how can we attack rashly? ”
Cai Ze stared at Lu Buwei with both eyes and said, "Wu Chengjun, what you said is not right. I want to be Wu'an back then...... When Bai Qi led the army, wasn't it also a drama to defend on the east bank of the Yellow River, and how could Bai Qi capture most of the east of the river? ”
Halfway through Cai Ze's words, he screamed in his heart.
You must know that the rebellion of Wu Anjun Bai Qi and Yangquan Jun Michen was only a few months ago, when the prince almost died in that rebellion, how could he stupidly mention this stubble in front of the prince.
Cai Ze peeked at the prince, and sure enough, he saw that the prince's face became a little gloomy, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Lu Buwei is such a shrewd person, he immediately understood Cai Ze's mental activities with a sweep of his eyes, and he suddenly felt an urge to laugh wildly in his heart.
Cai Ze, Cai Ze, this old thing of yours thinks about going against me all day long, and you dare to say nothing in front of the prince, it's just a way to kill yourself!
Lu Buwei was not in a hurry, and after coughing, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "Gang Chengjun's words are wrong, and you don't want to think about the result of the last attack on Hedong?" Bai Qi did defeat Ju Xin and occupy Hedong, but when Bai Qi was in Hedong County, Guanzhong at that time was poisoned everywhere by Li Mu and the cavalry of Zhao State! ”
"Could it be that Gangcheng Junru just wants Li Musan to enter the pass, and so hopes that the cavalry of Zhao State will come to Xianyang City again? If so, then I would like to ask you what your intentions are in thinking like this! ”
Lu Buwei's voice smashed into Cai Ze's heart like a sledgehammer, making Cai Ze's face change suddenly.
For the Qin monarchs, if it was only at the cost of Guanzhong being temporarily invaded by Li Mu in exchange for retaking Hedong, then such a result would actually be bearable - in fact, this was what the Qin decision-makers did in the last war.
But the problem is that such a decision blocked Li Mu's first invasion, but not the second invasion.
In the war that had just passed less than two years, Li Mu broke through Xianyang City, moved Xianyang Palace cleanly, and captured a large number of Qin princes and officials as prisoners, which not only caused Qin to suffer heavy losses, but also made Qin lose face in the hearts of the people of the world.
People are all embarrassed, if Li Mu is attacked under Xianyang City for the third time, then where will the princes and ministers of the Qin State put their cheeks?
More importantly, Li Mu was able to break through Xianyang City once, so who can guarantee that Li Mu would not break through Xianyang City again when he came to Xianyang City for the third time?
Anyway, the people of the Qin State are not willing to gamble like this again.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to let Li Mu appear in Xianyang City or even in the Guanzhong Plain, which is almost the consensus of the high-level leaders of the Qin State.
It is precisely because of this consensus that the Qin army did not cross the Yellow River east to attack the Lecheng Department for a long time.
Otherwise, although the current Qin State is not as good as before, the tens of thousands of soldiers in Lecheng's hands are really not taken into account by the old Qin people.
The main thing is this Li Mu, who is located on the Hetao Plain in the north of the Qin State, he is the real confidant who makes the prince of the Qin State unable to eat well and sleep!
For these hidden secrets, Lu Buwei is very clear, and Cai Ze is also very clear.
So when Lu Buwei used this to interrogate Cai Ze, Cai Ze immediately knew that he had made a big mistake.
And this mistake will definitely make Cai Ze lose points in the prince's heart.
Cai Ze peeked at the prince again, and sure enough, he found that the prince's face was even more gloomy, and it was almost starting to rain.
Cai Ze took a deep breath and decided not to continue to entangle with Lu Buwei on this issue, and said: "You must know that the previous king had secretly made an alliance with the Wei State, and agreed that once Wei and Zhao were at war, Great Qin would send troops at the same time. But now that Wei has been fighting with the Zhao people for almost a month, Great Qin has not crossed the Yellow River with a single soldier. If this matter spreads, how will the people of the world view Daqin and the crown prince? ”
Lu Buwei wanted to say "how people in the world love to see Guan Daqin and the prince's", but after all, he is a smart person and knows that although some things can be done, the archway must also be erected.
Therefore, Lü Buwei also retorted on the matter: "Since this is the case, then it is better to ask Gang Chengjun to lead the army north to resist Lü Buwei, so that the main force of the army can smoothly cross the river to attack Zhao State, I don't know what Gang Chengjun thinks?" ”
As soon as Lu Buwei said this, Cai Ze was immediately choked to death.
You must know that Cai Ze himself was born as a lobbyist, and he didn't have any experience in leading troops to fight at all, so if Cai Ze was asked to fight against Li Mu by himself, wouldn't it be the king of Hades plucking his beard - killing himself?
Lu Buwei looked at Cai Ze's speechless appearance, and his heart was naturally dark.
Let you, the old man, always raise the bar with me! Don't have anything to say now?
So Lü Buwei struck while the iron was hot, saluted the prince, and then said with a straight face: "Prince, if it is in my opinion, you might as well sit back and watch the Zhao people and Han Wei Qi kill each other. ”
Lü Buwei's meaning is actually obvious, he does not approve of sending troops at all.
It's okay to send troops to fight anyone, just forget it about fighting Zhao Guo.
Otherwise, when it reached King Zhao's ears, wouldn't it make King Zhao feel that Lu Buwei didn't do a good job?
Regarding Lü Buwei's opinion, the prince was obviously a little hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Wu Chengjun, if you don't send troops, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to the Wei side, right?" ”
Although this prince is a serious Qin royal family, it is true, but after all, he has not experienced the orthodox Qin royal family education and the influence of that atmosphere, and the thick black blood and genes in his bones have not yet been brought into play, and he still wants to be a person who keeps his promises.
Lu Buwei said: "Hasn't the king heard of the idiom 'Chao Qin and Twilight Chu'? If there are many princes today who renounce their covenants for small gains, what about this? Besides, although the prince did not send troops, weren't Li Mu's 30,000 cavalry and Lecheng's 70,000 or 80,000 troops also restrained by the prince's orders? The 100,000 Zhao army was dragged by the crown prince, and the minister didn't know what else he had to be dissatisfied with Wei Wangyu. ”
Cai Ze finally came back to his senses at this time, knowing that he couldn't let Lu Buwei continue to dominate like this, so he spoke up again: "Wu Chengjun, you sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight like this, even if you weaken the Central Plains countries, it will not have any tangible benefits for Great Qin. Now that so many troops and young people have been mobilized but no troops have been dispatched, I would like to see how you can explain to these hundreds of thousands of soldiers! ”
Cai Ze also learned wisely, and knew that he could not continue to struggle with Lu Buwei on the necessity of sending troops, but should start attacking from another aspect.
As a country founded on the military merit system, although the old Qin people's desire for military merit has decreased due to repeated defeats, it is still very strong.
If it is really not fought like this, then the dissatisfaction of the Qin military must be very heavy.
Cai Ze didn't believe that Lü Buwei dared to offend the military because of such a thing, and there had never been a Qin minister who had not been supported by the military for a long time.
Cai Ze thought that he should have caught Lu Buwei's flaw this time, but he didn't expect that at the moment when Cai Ze's words fell, this Gang Chengjun saw a mocking smile in Lu Buwei's eyes.
Don't...... Hit the trick?
Just when Cai Ze felt that something was wrong in his heart, Lu Buwei had already opened his mouth in a hurry.
"Gang Chengjun's words are indeed good, if the army is transferred back and forth out of thin air without sending troops, it will definitely make people extremely dissatisfied. Therefore, I have a plan that can not only allow the soldiers to obtain military merits, but also ensure that Daqin can obtain sufficient benefits. ”
As soon as Lu Buwei said this, the prince sitting at the top couldn't help but urge: "What kind of trick is it, Wu Chengjun is not coming quickly!" ”
Lu Buwei knew that it was time, so he stopped talking nonsense and straightforwardly threw out his long-prepared argument.
"Prince, in the opinion of the minister, it is better to form an alliance with the Zhao State and jointly attack the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Qi!"
