Chapter Ninety-Four: Quid pro quo
People sometimes need a faith, just as a lost ship needs a lighthouse. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info belief is a goal in life, and many times this goal is difficult to achieve until death. Gongsun Long has set a lofty goal for Jing Er, and it seems that there is a good chance of success.
Jing Er's eyes, which had eaten the meal, were full of light, like a mouse that had become a sperm. I didn't sleep all night, but I didn't get sleepy at all. Gongsun Long's words gave him great confidence in how to become a person who was on a par with Yan Huang and as famous as Yao Shun. It became his hope, and this belief will continue to support him for the rest of his life.
"Now the general trend of the world has basically been decided, and the Qin State will unify the world. The vassal states will become the victims of the Great Qin army, but the only headache is Pingliang in the northwest. Although Yunhou's armament has not increased in recent years, it is because of population restrictions. If in another ten years, the population of Pingliang will steadily exceed 500,000. Although the population of appropriate age is still very small, don't forget it. The population has grown explosively, with an additional 200,000 people in this generation. The next generation could be a million.
Now Pingliang's intelligence system has been seriously damaged, and we don't have more information. But in the end, the news came that Yunhou had captured a large area of land in the Western Regions. What is lacking is nothing more than the population, which the king does not pay attention to now. Wait until we capture the six eastern kingdoms...... Belch...... Now it's the Five Kingdoms, and I'm afraid that at that time the cool has become the climate. The most feared thing is that Pingliang will join forces with the Huns, in that case, the entire northern frontier of Daqin will have to leave at least 400,000 to 500,000 people to garrison. This would be a very big burden for the Empire. ”
"Sir, do you mean to solve Pingliang? But didn't you say that in order to avoid fighting on two fronts, we need to appease Pingliang? Only after the destruction of the eastern vassal states can the time to use troops against Pingliang? Jing Er didn't understand why Gongsun Long would suddenly change his established strategy.
"There's no way, Pingliang's development speed is too fast. The pace of development has far exceeded my expectations. In this case, it is impossible for Pingliang to wait until he has finished solving the Eastern Kingdoms to solve Yunyue. Pingliang now has a population of only 300,000, which has already made Daqin like a fish in his throat. If it's more than a million, what will it look like?
At that time, Yunhou would be in his forties, and he was in the prime of life. It is also the pinnacle of one's ambition, the most inflated. If Yunhou unites with the Huns and uses his wisdom, how many troops do we need to be able to defeat him. Even if it is General Wang Qian, I am afraid that he is not his opponent. Gongsun Long pointed to the huge map on the wall of the Chengming Hall and said.
"But now that the hearts of Zhao and Wei are separated, it is a great opportunity for us to use troops. If they let it go like this and attack Pingliang, Zhao and Wei will revivenation. That's not what we want, Zhao and Wei are now two stones blocking our path to unification. Only by moving them away would the weakened Yan State and the rich and weak Qi State be exposed to the Great Qin Army.
As long as the hometown of the Three Jin Dynasty is occupied, there are also Qi and Yan. The problem of Chu will be solved, even if Empress Xiao is hindered in Shu at that time, it is a big deal to have food in the Central Plains. "Jing Er is no longer a child in the past few years, at that time, he believed whatever Gongsun Long said, but now Jing Er has his own thinking.
"Huh! The old man didn't say that he needed to go all out to enter the army. What the old man means is that a partial division is needed. Garrison in Xianyang for training, and then send people to the barbarian region of the Western Regions to make trouble. Judging from the information sent at the end, the last time Yunhou led people to go out was because of a rebellion among the Hu people in the Western Regions.
It is said that the Western Regions are very vast, and if Yunhou wants to deter the Hu people and destroy his opponents. It is necessary to have a lion fighting a rabbit, that kind of spirit of going all out. As long as we send some people to the Western Regions to sedition rebellion, Yunhou will inevitably take his men and horses to the Western Regions to quell the rebellion, taking advantage of this opportunity. If you send a partial division, you can take Pingliang in one fell swoop. As if in order to increase his momentum, Gongsun Long struck the wooden stick in his hand on the position of Ping Liang.
"Oh!" Jing Er looked at the map and began to think deeply, Great Qin's understanding of the Western Regions was very limited. It can even be said that it is ignorant, and all the news is either from Pingliang or from Shangjia. Daqin's first-hand information, almost none. What kind of land is that, what kind of people are there. Jing Er doesn't know, I'm afraid no one in Daqin knows.
"If you stay in Xianyang, there is another advantage. That is, as the strategic reserve of the Great King, as long as there is any mistake on the Eastern Front, the reserve of Great Qin can be put on top. In addition, even if there is a rebellion, you can order this elite army to exterminate it. What's more, the king wants to sit in the center. There are always some soldiers in hand, and the last time the king and queen of Changping were a lesson from the past. The king has no soldiers in his hands, and I am afraid that he will not be able to deter those who are ready to move. ”
As soon as Gongsun Long said this, Jing Er nodded. The last time the queen and Changpingjun had a deep impression on him. If there is only the forbidden army around Xianyang, it is easy to be bought. If there is another large army, it will be stationed outside Xianyang City. Under the constraints of the two phases, it may really have the effect that Gongsun Long said.
"Mr. Gongsun is right, but the matter of ordnance and food is very difficult to handle. As you know, Daqin's taxes are getting worse and worse. Moreover, the Yun family's excellent ordnance is so expensive. If we increase the garrison of 200,000 people now, I am afraid that the financial resources will not be able to keep up. Jing Er said helplessly.
The new army equipped with the Yun family has a very good performance in the Eastern Battlefield. In many cases, they were able to annihilate the enemy army with very few casualties. Every time Wang Jian wrote a letter, he said that the new army was the main force in the Great Qin army. But the preparation of the new army is also very expensive, just Wang Qian's 50,000 new army has almost made the Great Qin treasury fall to the bottom, and now Gongsun Long wants to equip 200,000 people. That didn't let Jing Er be a pants!
"Huh! This matter is easy to solve, don't forget it, king. The Yun family is in the six eastern countries and has many minerals and investments. As long as they talk to Yun Yue, the imperial court will guarantee the benefits of their investments. However, he also had to provide the corresponding armaments to the imperial court. Let Yao Jia handle this matter, and the old man dares to guarantee that Yunhou will agree. The 200,000 people were equipped with these ordnance given by the Yun family. Gongsun Long said confidently.
"Will Yunhou really agree?" Jing Er was a little suspicious, which seemed to be suspicious of a lion's mouth.
