Volume 9 Chapter 72 Terrace Discussion
Under Zero Yu's strong appearance, the royal family who were resentful of Mo Wu'an also died down. No matter how important face is, it is not as important as the interests of Great Qin.
Zero Yu has become the commander-in-chief, and he will use troops at any time, which involves military affairs, and no one dares to talk about it anymore. And Ling Yu also made a promise that tomorrow he would let Mo Wu'an go to various mansions to ask for guilt, and if he was angry, he could scold him again.
No matter how fierce the scolding is, and no one can die, Mo Wu'an hopes that the other party will scold more ruthlessly. The more you scold, the less resentment you have against him, after all, people are angry. And these gases, they must be let out, otherwise Mo Wu'an himself will feel uncomfortable.
Hu Ji called Geldan and carefully inquired about the situation of the soldiers of Yongcheng, and asked, "Is it really as difficult to bring the garrison as Sister Ling Yu said?" β
Geldan said respectfully: "Princess Qiyu, what Lord Zero Yu said is light, and when she really goes, I will know how difficult it is to bring the garrison." It is estimated that if you don't kill a group of people, you won't be able to deter those ruffians. β
"The soldiers of Yongcheng, the most convincing thing for them is the word 'ruthless'. If you want to be a commander-in-chief, you have to be more ruthless than them, so that they will be convinced. My Yiqu soldiers have been with Yongcheng soldiers for too long, and they have also been contaminated with this character, and if they use words to appease them like before, it will have the opposite effect. β
"In a word, these people who are not in the princess, the situation in Yongcheng is completely different from what you are familiar with. I'm really afraid that my mother will hand over the military power to you, because of your character, you can't bring that kind of soldier at all, maybe those soldiers see you as a bully, and sneak out in the middle of the night to kill you, maybe it's okay. β
Hu Ji frowned and said, "They even dare to kill this princess?" Or is it not my Great Qin soldier? β
Geldan smiled bitterly: "That's why the garrison is called a ruffian, and I can only be a ruffian in Yongcheng, otherwise I can't suppress people." Chang Yu was also cut down by those soldiers back then, and Ying Hao was injured once in a few months. If you can cut down his soldiers, not only will you not be guilty, but you will also be rewarded by your mother. β
Lin Ye gasped, Zhao Ji's ruffianism was actually so big, and those soldiers were actually lawless to that extent.
Lin Ye hurriedly said: "Hu'er, let's not fight for that position, those soldiers are too rude." Yongcheng has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and no matter how many strong people protect us, they can't stand being attacked by them every day. β
Hu Ji couldn't help but complain: "The most important thing is that those soldiers know that our strength is not high, and I don't even know any martial arts, so I am not assassinated by them every day." I finally understand why my mother doesn't come out in Ganquan Palace every day, and my feelings are because of this. Only when Ganquan Palace is in charge, protected by many strong people, and the guards are all his henchmen, can he stop the sneak attack of those soldiers. β
The ruffian nature of the Yongcheng soldiers is indeed an eye-opener, but on the other hand, only that kind of strong martial arts can create the strongest army.
Zero Yu's strong debut pushed the Qin Palace banquet to a climax, and those who let her eat closed doors in the past were very uncomfortable in their hearts, and they were complaining about Zhao Ji in private, blaming her for giving Ling Yu so much military power. No matter how much you complain, no one dares to go to Ganquan Palace.
What kind of soldiers there are, what kind of masters there are. Zhao Ji doesn't know how to reason with people, if she annoys her, cut off your head first, and then say, no one dares to make her unhappy.
When the banquet reached a certain hour, Yingzheng took the lead, followed by Zhongli, and went in one direction. All the civil and military subordinates of the Qin State got up and followed at the same time, and those who did not have official positions sat still, and the banquet was quiet.
The Terrace Pilgrimage, a tradition of the Qin feast, the outlook for the new year, and the future national policy, were all born through this situation. On that terrace, the confrontation between Yingzheng and LΓΌ Buwei had a far-reaching impact. And this court meeting has attracted the attention of Mrs. Huayang and Mi Ying.
The reason is very simple, a big war is going to be waged against the state of Chu, Qin and Chu have a long-standing grudge, and if they want to unify the Central Plains, the two countries will inevitably go to war. As for how to fight? No matter how big the scale is, we will discuss it on the terrace and work out the big policy.
Zero Yu took Xibu, Yingcheng, Meng Tian, Geldan and others, and also followed. This time, all the generals of the military will participate. Since the Yan State tore up the agreement and mobilized the guards Chen soldiers on the banks of the Yishui River, the soldiers of Yongcheng will also move.
The Great War of the Unification of the Central Plains has reached the point where there is no army that cannot be used. The reason for this is that the Qin State put too much pressure on the other countries. The end of the Battle of Handan completely dismantled the measures of the countries to unite against Qin, and the countries did not care about the rules of their ancestors, and the armies that should be used would be used.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky, turning the entire terrace white. Ying Zheng sat firmly on the throne of the king, promoted a large number of young talents, replaced many old ministers, and no longer needed someone to help him go to the terrace. Judging from the pace of climbing the terrace, this generation of Qin kings and courtiers is full of vigor and more pioneering.
Ying Zheng said loudly: "Great Qin has been founded for hundreds of years, from weak to strong, and the successive kings have paid great efforts. In this king's generation, the government is harmonious and the treasury is full, and it is time to give an explanation to the previous kings. β
"This court discussion only talks about one thing, the battle for the reunification of the Central Plains."
Wei Yi said: "Back then, the king and I thought about it behind closed doors, and for seven days and seven nights, we formulated a national policy to unify the world. After several years of practice, he successfully won South Korea and Zhao. Looking at the other countries, the most threatening to our Great Qin are Yan and Chu. β
"The country of Yan is vast, and the king of Yan, Chen Bing, is on the banks of the Yishui River, and he has already made a defensive posture. Even if we start a war with Yan and win the Yan Kingdom, it will be difficult to annex how much land the Yan Kingdom has. And the threat of Chu to Great Qin is greater, Chu is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with dense rivers, and its territory is second only to my Great Qin. Therefore, in the battle of unification, I suggest that the main attack on the Chu State is to use troops against the Yan State only after the annexation of the Chu State. β
Many people nodded, the Chu State had a neat source of soldiers, and the northerners were not accustomed to water warfare, if they did not take the Chu State in advance, it was likely that the Qin State would be attacked from behind by the Chu State when it fought against the Yan State. In the current situation, no matter which king of Chu is, he will do this. And the Qin State itself does not have the strength to eat all the countries in one go, as long as it cuts off the Yanchu Alliance, it is the best policy to break them one by one.
Changping Jun Qi said: "May I ask the king, what is the scale of the war with Chu?" β
Ying Zheng asked, "What does Changpingjun want to ask?" β
Qi Qiyan said: "I am very familiar with the geography of the Chu State, this battle can be handed over to me to carry out, and in just one year, I can annex many cities in the Chu State and block the connection between the Chu State and the Yan State." Without worries, you can easily use troops in the Yan Kingdom. β
Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Uncle Qiqi, is it just to annex some cities?" β
Qi Qi frowned and said, "What does the king want?" β
Ying Zheng Zhengse said: "In the battle of Qin and Chu, my first task of Great Qin is to break through Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, and annex all the land of Chu State. Then Chen soldiers Baiyue and prepared for a battle with Baiyue. β
Qi Qi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Please take back the king's order, Qin State should divide the river with Chu State and rule, and wait until the north is unified before you can use troops against Jiangnan." β
Wei Yu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not, the Chu State and the Yan State have the potential of an alliance, and if they don't take the entire Chu State, the war in the north will not be able to start smoothly." Divide the river and rule? It's really ridiculous, the state of Chu belongs to the Central Plains, and the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, which runs counter to the national policy of unifying the Central Plains. β
"Changpingjun, you are also the one who leads the troops, please tell me that the Yan State has Chen soldiers in Yishui, and I, Daqin, also need to Chen soldiers on the other side of Yishui, causing a confrontation situation. At this time, it is the best time to destroy Chu. The Yan State has been prepared, but the Chu State has not yet been prepared, where else will it attack if it does not attack the Chu State? β
Qi Qi strongly objected: "It is a tradition for the two countries of Qin and Chu to marry for generations, and annex cities to each other, but it is against morality to annex each other, and I ask the king to give up this idea." β
Wei Yu said with a displeased face: "Contrary to morality? Yan has used the garrison, what is the morality of military affairs? Success or defeat is a wise saying. Lord Changpingjun, on the matter, you have selfish intentions. β
Qi Qi immediately said: "I just don't want the Qin State to annex the Chu State, please ask the king to decide." β
At the banquet of the Qin Palace in the distance, Mrs. Huayang sat in her position and trembled with anger, everyone heard it, Qi Qi opposed this matter in public, and she was far away from the original intention of Huayang Palace. The battle of Qin and Chu, if you don't annex the state of Chu, why do you have to fight? What is the use of breaking through a few cities, Mrs. Huayang can't go back to her hometown at all.
Ying Zheng said: "Uncle Mi Qi, the two clans have been friends for generations, and they have annexed land to each other, and the royal family will not be damaged, why can't they annex the Chu State?" This king can understand that although you are in the Qin State, you still put the interests of the Chu State first in your heart, how dare I use you again? β
Qi Qi smiled bitterly and said: "It doesn't matter if the king uses me or not, I just don't want the Chu State to be annexed by other vassal states." β
Ying Zheng said: "That king told you today that Great Qin must annex all the land of Chu in order to complete the great cause of unification, what will you do?" β
Qi Qi bowed in front of the public and said: "The king uses troops, the emphasis is on Yangmou, the minister dares to say a word, if the Qin State really wants to move troops against the Chu State, please let me go back, I will definitely be able to beat the Qin State back, I don't know if the king dares to let me go?" β
Ying Zheng said loudly: "Why don't you dare? Since Uncle Qi Qi has no intention of Qin Guo, I will let you go back now. Please take your family and return to Chu immediately. β
Qi Qi bowed again and said: "Thank you for the king's kindness, the family will not need it, this king will return to Chu alone, and will tell the king the truth that it is not right to do this." β
Qi Qi turned around and left, quickly disappearing from people's sight, without even saying hello to Mrs. Huayang.
Zhongli said coldly: "Qi Qi can't stay, this person is too familiar with the distribution of my Great Qin's troops, if he really lets him go back early, the State of Chu will definitely be like the State of Yan, ready for war." Please give the order of the son and kill Qi Qi. β
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "This king does things and acts uprightly, even if Qi Qi goes back, can he still stop my Great Qin Bingfeng?" My Great Qin's national strength is stronger than that of Chu, what can Chu do in the face of absolute strength? Xiao Zhong can't stop me, he wants me to see the reality clearly, and I use the reality to tell him who is right and who is wrong. β
He also said in public: "You have also heard that the battle of Qin and Chu should be decided in one battle, and Shouchun should be won in one battle." Now the Yan State is prepared, but the Wei State is not ready, when Wang Ben leads the army, Ling Yu cooperates, besieges the Wei capital Daliang, and the rest of the troops attack the Chu State. β
Everyone whispered, and Wei Yi said: "To fight on two fronts, it is important to fight quickly, and if it drags on, the troops are likely to be insufficient." General Wang Jian, what do you think? β
Wang Jian touched his beard and said, "It's not impossible, if you want to start a war with the Yan State, you must take the Wei State." The terrain of Wei is too poor, as long as the city of Daliang is flooded, the king of Wei should surrender. β
Zero Yu said: "On the banks of the Yishui River in the Chen army of the Yan Kingdom, my Great Qin can also dispatch 30,000 guards to confront each other, so that the Yan army does not dare to support." General Wang Ben only needs to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he should be able to take Wei within half a year, and as for the rest of the soldiers and horses, when General Wang Jian is under full command, he should be able to capture Chu. β
Wei Yu smiled and said: "We also have to sign an offensive and defensive assistance agreement with the King of Qi, as long as we capture the Chu State and give some land to the Qi State, it will be nothing." β
The people around laughed, Qi State's military equipment has been abandoned for a long time, and no matter how much land it occupies, it will make Qi State's troops tighter, but it will be the most beneficial to Qin State. In the past, every time the nations joined forces, Qi was a breakthrough, and this time was no exception.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "General Wang Qian, in a battle with Chu, how many troops do you think you need?" β
Wang Jian said: "600,000 troops are needed. β
Many people gasped, they actually wanted so many soldiers, Ying Zheng frowned and said: "In addition to the garrison army, my Great Qin has only more than 800,000 warriors left, 600,000 is too much." β
Wang Jian said: "There are more than 300,000 people with armor in the Chu State, and the northerners are not accustomed to water warfare, and the rivers are staggered, and if the king wants to win the Chu State in one battle, he must have 600,000." β
Ying Zheng is worried, with so many soldiers, it should be no problem to take the Chu State, but this will delay the pace of unifying the Central Plains. Time waits for no one, and the Central Plains must be unified within a few years before it can fight head-on with the Xiongnu. If you really want to use so many soldiers, you need to draw many troops in Zhao State, and you will not be able to besiege Zhao Jia in Daicheng.
Just when Yingzheng was worried, Li Xin walked out and said: "600,000 is too much, please give me 200,000 yuan, I will definitely be able to break through Shouchun and take the state of Chu." β
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and asked, "General Li Xin, what is your plan?" β
Li Xin said confidently: "I have a close relationship with the garrison army, as long as the king asks General Meng Tian to follow me to attack Chu together, with strong combat power, I can eat the main force of Chu soldiers." The southerners are only familiar with water warfare, but I do not fight with them, and will speed up the march and fight a decisive battle with them on the plains, and why can't I win? β
This plan is good, as long as it advances quickly, the Yangtze River is so wide, and it is impossible for the Chu State to defend it comprehensively. As long as you cross the river and set up a formation, it will be difficult for the Chu State not to fight a decisive battle. Fighting on the plains is exactly what Li Xin is good at, not to mention that he also brought Meng Tian's army to assist in the battle, and there was indeed a war.
Zero Yu frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Meng Tian only knew the tactics of the garrison guards, not the southern ones, and he should deal with the war in the north. I think it's better to let General Wang Jian be in command, General Li Xin is still very young, and seniority is also a problem, 200,000 is still a little less. β
Li Xinyan said: "With the transfer of 600,000, the overall military plan will be changed, please believe me, I will be able to take the state of Chu in one battle." β
Ying Zheng asked, "General Wang Qian, do you really want 600,000?" β
Wang Jian replied: "It must be 600,000." β
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "The general is old, although it is good to be cautious, but Chu State does not have that kind of combat power at all, I think General Li Xin is right, 200,000 is enough." β
Wang Jian said: "Since the king doesn't listen, and the subordinates have nothing to say, let me go back to my hometown in Pinyang." β
Ying Zheng promised, but Ling Yu, Meng Wu and others felt that it was inappropriate, and Ying Zheng had made a decision, and he couldn't say anything more.
