Chapter 697 Yingzheng's Strategic Ambitions

"Oh! I get it! Grandfather! King Qin finally understood and responded happily.

"You understand?"

"I understand! Grandfather! ”

"Do you really understand?" Peng Zhou asked.

"Understood! Grandfather! ”

"Tell me, then, how do you understand that?" Peng Zhou asked.

He believes! Nephew Qin Wang Yingzheng understood. But! You have to consolidate it, let him use his imagination and say what he thinks.

King Yingzheng of Qin thought for a while and said, "The city still has to be guarded, but! There are not so many people arranged anymore. In the city, there must be enough food to be maintained, and once besieged, it must be held out for at least a month or so. ”

"Hmmm! Very good! ”

Qin Wang Yingzheng continued: "Why do you want to hold on for a month or so? ”

"Why?"

"Because our army is nearby, we can rush to the rescue in about a month!"

"Hmmm! Very good! Peng Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

King Yingzheng of Qin continued: "We have reduced the strength of all the cities to a minimum, to the number that can only be defended. The surplus troops were all mobilized together to form at least 200,000 troops. Our forces are massed on the border, and once the battle is fought, they will destroy the withering and decay and advance directly......"

The meaning of King Yingzheng of Qin is probably like this:

Although the group field battle was adopted, the superior forces of the Qin State were gathered together. But! Or take the old way: cannibalization.

You can't become fat by eating in one bite, you can only eat it and take your time.

Peng Zhou listened to it and was even more satisfied.

Visible! Although his nephew Qin Wang Yingzheng is young, he still has brains. He is calm, not reckless or arrogant.

He also knows that "you can't become a fat man by eating in one bite", and if you want to dominate the world, it is not a matter of one or two years, and I don't know how many years. So! I can only continue to eat one bite at a time.

If you are arrogant and ignorant? There are hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, why don't you just pull them out and go to the battlefield? Why don't you go directly to destroy any vassal state?

But! Will that work? Can others be beaten passively?

You can single-handedly take on any of the vassal states, but if the vassal states unite, can you deal with them?

Imagine! You take a heads-up, one-on-one approach, and no one is your opponent. But people are not stupid, after people see your intentions, they will take the initiative and voluntarily join forces to do it with you.

And the result! Your heads-up plan will fall through. Opposite! When others know what you mean, they are more united. When the time comes! It's hard for you to break their alliance.

So! A heads-up approach won't work!

At present, Qin's army has 1.2 million troops, not including those who transport grain, grass, and logistics. If you count the transportation of grain and grass and logistics personnel, the military strength of the Qin State is nearly three million.

In other vassal states, the transportation of grain and grass and logistics personnel are generally counted. Even! The number of people was also falsely reported. And the real combat strength, in fact, is not much.

And the state of Qin! At present, there are more than 40 field corps, not including transportation and logistics personnel.

If the Qin State drew extra troops from various cities, it would be at least six or seven hundred thousand. And! They are all elite troops, there is no water, and they do not include transportation and logistics personnel.

Before! The Qin state prevented Yiqu and other northern nomads. Right now! There is no problem on the Yiqu side, and there is no need to take excessive precautions. Hexi and the old capital of the Qin State, including Shudi, do not need to be overly guarded, as long as they retain a force of about 100,000 to protect Xianyang.

Of course! Xianyang is the capital, and the defense inside the city is more than that of other cities.

Of course! Cities everywhere must have basic defenders.

Cities in various places protect themselves, and other places are not garrisoned except for soldiers and horses at the checkpoints.

All the surplus troops were transferred to the outside of Hangu Pass.

At the junction with the state of Chu, a force of 200,000 troops was stationed to deal with the Chu army.

The other more than 300,000 troops mainly dealt with the three Jin states: Zhao State, Wei State and Korea.

What if it's heads-up? More than 300,000 troops can completely take on any of the vassal states in the Three Jin Dynasty. But! There's no way people can let you go it alone. You're going to go head-to-head, then! It's not just the Three Jin Alliance, but the World Alliance.

What if heads-up worked? The Great Zhou world has long been unified by the Chu State or the Jin State or any of the great vassal states.

It is precisely for this reason that there is a "Zonghengjia".

What is Zonghengjia? In fact, it is a lobbyist who convinces everyone to the alliance.

You want to go head-to-head, don't you? So! I'm going to unite all the weak and small countries. This is the "Zonghengjia".

What is "vertical and horizontal"? In fact, it is a vertical or horizontal combination, blocking you against you!

"Simply cannibalizing is not the way!" Peng Zhou sighed.

"Yes! Grandfather! King Qin Yingzheng nodded and said, "Your nephew is not so stupid!" Let others see our intention to nibby? Hehehe! ”

"Oh?" Seeing that his nephew Qin Wang Yingzheng Niu was very comparable, Peng Zhou tilted his head and looked at it, waiting for him to continue.

Qin Wang Yingzheng looked at his grandfather Peng Zhou and said with a smile: "I want them to accept my cannibalization unconsciously!" ”

"Boiled frogs in warm water?"

"What is a boiled frog in warm water?" King Yingzheng of Qin asked puzzled.

"It's just putting the frog in a pot of cold water and cooking it slowly over low heat. Outcome! The frog died and didn't know how. ”

King Yingzheng of Qin thought about it and laughed.

"Hahaha! Be! Be! That's what it means! ”

"Tell me about it? What are your specific ideas and practices? How do you boil frogs in warm water? Hey! ”

King Qin Yingzheng stopped laughing, looked at his grandfather Peng Zhou, and nodded: "In order not to let the other party know our intention to encroach, what about us!" Take peace with them all! ……”

"Reconcile?"

"That's it! Settle on good terms with them. I'm the new king, and I've just been in power! Isn't it? So! I want to have good relations with the Three Jin and the Chu State, the Qi State, and the Yan State. ”

"And then?"

"Find another reason to turn against them?"

"This?" Peng Zhou shook his head.

King Yingzheng of Qin looked at his grandfather Peng Zhou and smiled: "Where is it so direct? Grandfather! You can rest assured! I'm not that stupid! ”

"Oh?"

King Qin Yingzheng continued to laugh and said, "They want to bully me, I'll put up with it first." Isn't it? Let me cede the land, I will do it. But! This is only superficial. This is only a reason to attack him later. And then! I'm close to them. For example! I cooperate with them to achieve what they want. ”

"What do you want to achieve?"

"Who are they going to attack? So! I can help him to attack anyone, and I can also help others to attack him, and get revenge on the reason for being bullied before......"

That's what King Yingzheng of Qin meant: get close to others first, and then wait for others to bully. And then! Help the person who bullies him to attack others and get benefits from it. Or! Help others to clean up this person who bullies them and get the benefit from it.

It's the same cannibalization, but it's more refined and hidden.
