Chapter 18: Zou Yan's Poisonous Scheme
"Master Hou! It doesn't hurt to increase troops in the Western Regions now, but Zou Yan thinks it's better to secretly increase troops. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Now that Great Qin and the Eastern vassal states are in a period of peace, if we rashly dispatch a large number of troops to the Western Regions. If the imperial court comes to attack us, even if it is a fortified city. Our factories outside the city, and the workers, will also suffer greatly. And breaking the factory is equivalent to cutting off the economic lifeline of Pingliang, which must be prevented! Seeing that Yun Yue seemed to agree to Wei Fang's suggestion, Zou Yan immediately stood up.
"Shhhh......h Zou Yan's words made everyone gasp, although Daqin had fought some small-scale battles over the years, he was still cultivating and recuperating in general. The wounds left by the great war six years ago have been almost repaired. Coupled with the industrial products of the Yun family, it greatly promoted the labor productivity of the Qin people. The wealthy Guanzhong began to prosper again, and Daqin's war machine had been adjusted to its best state at this time.
The relationship between Yun Yue and Jing Er is known even to the people of Pingliang. Not to mention these high-ranking big shots, and there have been a lot of immigrants in Pingliang over the years. Who dares to guarantee that there is no mixed work of the court lieutenant in these immigrants. If the news of the Yun family's large-scale increase in troops in the Western Regions was detected by the imperial court, according to Jing Er's temper, he might be desperate to pull out Pingliang, a thorn in the flesh.
Originally, with Pingliang's troops, there was no need to be afraid of the Qin army, at least it was no problem to protect yourself. But a large increase in troops in the Western Regions is different, even if the vast Western Regions is filled with a million troops, it is not enough to do anything. Not to mention, there are only more than 80,000 people in the Yun family's army. It is necessary to disperse the garrison passes, and also control important cities so as not to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Even if it was not enough to fill in all the Yun family's army, in the final analysis, Yun Yue was too greedy at the beginning.
The snake swallowed the big moon clan in one bite like an elephant, and now the problem comes. That is indigestion, if you want to completely control the entire Western Regions in a short period of time, you can't do it without enough troops. There are only so many soldiers, and if you can keep Pingliang, you can't protect the Western Regions. This seemed to be an unsolvable problem, and the meaning of Zou Yan's words silenced everyone.
"My subordinate has an idea!" Zou Yan said with a smirk on his face. Yun Yue looked left and right, not only Ao Canghai, but even Wei Fang had to step forward and care about his two slaps.
Seeing the unkind eyes around him, Zou Yan decided that it was better not to sell Guan Zi. He coughed lightly, relieved his embarrassment, and said, "Now Great Qin and the Six Kingdoms are out of peace, but everyone knows it. The Six Kingdoms and Great Qin were just recuperating, and neither of them gave up the ideal of destroying each other and unifying China. Under these conditions, there is only a little bit of Mars. It will cause a fire in the prairie fire, if we want to rest assured and boldly increase the troops in the Western Regions. It is inevitable to provoke a war between the six countries and Great Qin first, even if the six countries do not unite again, at least two or three vassal states must unite to jointly crusade against Qin.
As long as Daqin is at the end of the battle in the east, how many soldiers and horses we send to the Western Regions, Daqin can only watch. And...... The imperial court will feel more or less at ease. After Zou Yan finished speaking, he looked at everyone's expressions and didn't speak. Except for Ao Canghai, who has a brain that is not enough, the rest are all top-notch people.
"What Mr. Zou Yan said is extremely true, as long as the war between the imperial court and the six eastern countries is rekindled, even if it wants to deal with us. It's also impossible! After all, Great Qin's military strength was also limited.
Now Han Wang'an is in our hands, and Wei also has a land dispute with Qin. It would be even better if he could contact Zhao or Chu again. After several years of recuperation, the countries must have recovered. Presumably, the princes and kings of various countries are also holding back their desire to fight. Li Si's eyes lit up, and he immediately added. He didn't come up with such an idea, and Li Si was a little embarrassed.
"King Anli is easy to do, he has always been obsessed with the land occupied by the Qin State. Among the six kingdoms, except for Korea, Wei had the most occupied cities. As long as we give him weapons and armaments, King Anli will definitely launch a surprise attack on the Qin army. "As the son-in-law of King Anli, Wusun Ji naturally knows what Wei wants to do the most.
"Only Han Wei is still not enough, it is better to pull the Chu State again. The state of Chu and the state of Qin had a long border, and the capital of Yingdu was also captured by the Qin. King Chu Huai was even imprisoned by the Qin people and died, and these grudges are the knot of the two countries. Not to mention Bai Qi, who was known as the slaughter of the people, burned down the temple of the Chu royal family with a fire. As long as we use a little means, we will definitely let the Chu people also send troops to attack Qin.
As a result, the Qin had at least 600,000 troops pinned down on the Eastern Front. If we send troops to the Western Regions, it will not be a problem. Moreover, the wars of the six eastern countries were mostly infantry battles, and the wars were usually protracted. If it works properly, we will have a year to stabilize the Western Regions. The Celestial Fang then complemented the plan.
Yun Yue sighed secretly, these so-called Zongheng families are not good people. You can sacrifice the lives of others at any time for your own benefit. If the Central Plains War is provoked again, it may be a million-level tearing killing. The battle to seize the city killed Yingcheng, and the battle of Makino killed Yingye. Behind every war, there are shocking human lives.
But for the sake of calmness, what can I do? In addition to the 80,000 regular troops who can be pulled out to fight, only the militia is left. If you recruit Qiang soldiers, you can also mobilize 20,000 or 30,000 people. Any more, it will affect the production of mines and factories. Moreover, Pingliang also needs troops to defend it, and on the whole, Pingliang's one-time mobilization capacity is only about 80,000 people.
"Since the gentlemen have said it, then follow this opinion. If the affairs of the Wei State are handled by Ji Chang, you can consider giving them more ordnance. The three-bow bed crossbow can also be given to them more, and the rest of the Korean affairs Li Si will do, there is our military adviser there, Han Wangan dare not agree. As for Chu Guo, he can only ask Mr. Zou Yan to take a trip. After all, among the six countries, our relationship with the Chu people is the most ordinary. Yun Yue thought for a moment and said to Zou Yan.
"Master Hou! I'm afraid that Zou Yan will not be able to persuade the Chu people to attack the imperial court. After Yun Yue finished speaking, he didn't expect Zou Yan to immediately jump out and refuse Yun Yue's order. This made Yun Yue a little surprised, since the construction of this council hall, no one had blatantly violated his orders like this.
"Oh, Mr. Zou Yan doesn't want to go to Chu State?" Yun Yue's voice cooled down, although Zou Yan's talent was amazing, he couldn't get used to resisting it.
"Back to Hou Ye's words, it is not Zou Yan's dismissal. It is really that the relationship between Qin and Chu is in the best period now, and the Empress Dowager Chu and the uncle of the King of Chu, Xiangbang Li Yuan, are now busy cleaning up the remnants of Chunshen Jun. They didn't have the heart to fight with the Qin State at all, and at this time, even if they gave the Chu people more benefits, they would not send troops to attack Great Qin. ”
After Zou Yan finished speaking, he looked at Yun Yue, and when he saw that Yun Yue's face was a little softened, he continued: "However, the minister has a suggestion. The Qin army has no military salary, and it is common for the soldiers to rely on robbery to make some extra money, Qin is strong and Chu is weak, and there are some places on the border of Qin and Chu that there are dogs and teeth, and it is impossible to distinguish where is the Qin State and which is the Chu State. The soldiers of the Qin army also often robbed in this generation.
The old man has a student whose surname is Xiang Mingyu and just left for his hometown yesterday to worship his ancestors. He is the grandson of Xiang Yan, the pillar of the military of today's Chu State, and he is quite valued by Xiang Yan. If he was wounded by the Qin army while worshipping his ancestors, do you think the people of Chu would attack Qin together with the Wei state of Korea? ”
Yun Yue gasped, what a poisonous strategy, so ruthless Zou Yan!
