Chapter 768: What kind of person is it? (Above)

For Lu Zhe, the most important thing at present is the reintegration of internal affairs, and on this premise, it is already risky to continue the war outside Cyprus, how can a new front be opened?

Internal affairs is the construction south of the Yangtze River, but also the consolidation of rule over all parts of the Central Plains.

There was a tentative agreement on the merger of countries into an empire, but it was only an agreement, based on the fact that Lü Zhe was strong enough to use force to eliminate the deterrence of countries that did not participate in the merger. Lü Zhe had already taken over the military and political power of Zhao, Korea, and Wei in terms of administrative and military affairs.

In a certain form, Zhao, Wei, and Han can already be regarded as a kind of "thing in the bag", but the control of Qin's side is missing, Neishi County, Shangjun, and Beidi County have always been firmly in the hands of Qin's center, and Qin is not as weak as Zhao, Wei, and Han.

The general who commanded more than 200,000 Qin troops was Meng Tian, who was praised as the "first warrior of China", this general led 300,000 Qin troops in the original history to defeat the Xiongnu tribes in only one year, and recaptured the Hetao area that was lost after the Qin State went east.

What kind of background is that? When the northern and southern fronts of the Qin State launched a war at the same time, Meng Tian obtained half of the logistics materials allocated by the Qin State. In addition, because there is no shortage of war horses, the grassland Hu people are destined to be extremely mobile enemy troops, at that time, Meng Tian only had less than 10,000 chariots in his hands, and only 30,000 horses alone, and the rest were foot soldiers, which were able to severely damage the extremely mobile Huns and other Hu tribes in a year's time, and even chased the Hu people thousands of miles away. It really deserves the reputation of "China's No. 1 Warrior".

Montessori's investment in Fusu was innumerable, and once Fusu became a vassal king of the empire under Lü Zhe, Montessori's investment was destined to not be fully rewarded. There is relevant intelligence that Meng Yi in the center of Qin has always opposed the merger, and Meng Yi even proposed to send troops to attack the construction of the Saihan army, which had to make Lu Zhe worried.

After Touman led the Hu people to retreat, the pressure on the Qin army was gone, and the Qin state also regained control of the Beidi and Shang counties with a very rapid response. In some ways, the Qin state regained control of the upper and northern counties, and already had three counties, including the Neishi county. These three counties are the so-called "old Qin land". The former Qin State relied on these regions to rise, who can rule out whether the Qin Center is going to repeat it again?

"The old Qin land is no longer the old Qin land it used to be, and it is difficult to repeat it...... " Sima Xin was full of emotion when he said this, and his expression was extremely complicated.

Lu Zhe can understand what Sima Xin meant, the Qin people are no longer the Qin people at the beginning of unification, and the leaders of the Qin people are not the administrative teams of previous dynasties.

"The most worrying thing is that some people can't see the general trend of the world clearly, and they are blinded by certain things and get dazed." Zhang Liang seems to be making some kind of hint?

Lu Zhe looked at Zhang Liang. Motioned for Zhang Liang to continue.

"After a series of changes, the achievements of Shangjun's reform of the law have been completely destroyed, and after the change of policy, the people's will is no longer attached." Zhang Liang stopped and looked at everyone, saluted Lu Zhe, and continued: "But not everyone can see this. Especially families who invest huge amounts of resources, they don't want their investment to go unrewarded. ”

Sima Xin looked at Zhang Liang with strange eyes, probably remembering how Montessori offended the descendants of the Korean prime minister, and how did Zhang Liang have the intention of putting Montessori to death?

Lu Zhe's expression did not change at all. Make a gesture of listening intently.

"The threat of Xianyang is no longer there, but the Qin State still has an army of nearly 300,000. The 300,000-strong army was all in the hands of General Qin Zhengbei, and the survival of this army was formed to confront the Xiongnu and other Hu people. Now the Xiongnu and other Hu people have moved to the northwest, but the army of General Qin Zhengbei is stopped at the line of Yiqu in Beidi County. "Zhang Liang's love seems to be a little excited? His hand waved vigorously: "The Qin army, which was supposed to catch up with the Hu people, stopped moving, but on the other hand, it was wantonly asking for supplies from us, isn't it strange that the king is surprised?" ”

This time, not only Sima Xin, but also Xiao He and other people present looked at Zhang Liang with strange eyes.

The productivity of the Qin State has recovered slightly, but it does not mean that the production of the Qin State can support the consumption, after all, the Qin State has recruited the young and strong people in order to form an army. The young men who were requisitioned and were still serving in the Qin army sequence are not counted, and the number of people killed in battle is at least 200,000, and then Wang Ben defected to Lu Zhe with more than 100,000 yuan, and Xu Yan led nearly 400,000 Central Plains troops to defect to Lu Zhe, Qin State can be said to have lost nearly 700,000 young men all of a sudden, what does it mean for Qin State with a total population of less than 4 million?

It is already impossible for the Qin State to fully restore its productive forces, even if it is the Qin army that has been disbanded by Fusu, there is no way, unless those children and young men are ......adults, even if those children and young men are adults, the Qin State has only recovered a small number of young and strong, and it will take at least one or two generations to give birth if they want to have nearly one million young and strong again.

The Qin State, whose productivity had been reduced to the lowest, used to still own the land of Longxi, and used the livestock resources of Longxi to trade materials with the Han State on an equal footing, but with the loss of the livestock resources of Longxi County, the transaction had evolved into a status quo in which the Qin State borrowed materials from the Han State. In fact, it was this form that forced Fusu to agree to the merger, after all, the Qin State really couldn't come up with something to repay the debts, and only the debts pressed on the head of the Qin State by the merger of the two countries could be eliminated.

Lu Zhe knew that Zhang Liang had some truth, but Zhang Liang was exaggerating the facts for many things.

Qin may still be hesitant on the issue of merger, but it is absolutely alarmist to say that Qin has turned into a state of war against Han. What is the current war potential of the Qin State other than the army of more than 300,000 battles? The country can't even afford to raise more than 300,000 troops, once the Han side cuts off the supply of materials, the more than 300,000 Qin troops will collapse on their own at any time, are the people in power in the Qin State all fools and can't see it?

"Your Majesty, intelligence shows that Meng Yi has indeed been advocating for the rejection of the merger." Yan Bi, who was standing on the side, seemed to be doing some kind of mending?

Meng Yi's unscrupulousness was not a private obscurity at all, which was also one of Lu Zhe's most puzzled surprises. Logically speaking. If Meng Yi was really determined to be hostile to the Han State, he shouldn't have done it so obviously, it was really a negative conspiracy. Lu Zhe has made inferences that Meng Yi should be using such an attitude to show something to the Han Kingdom, maybe to show his influence or value or something?

After three generations of hard work, the Montessori gained a firm foothold in the Qin State, and the generation of the Montessori brothers entered the core of the Qin State, and even managed a good force in the northern Xinjiang of the Qin State. Before the Xiongnu invasion, Qin's Beidi County and Shangjun were considered to be the sphere of influence of the Mengshi, and after the Xiongnu's southern invasion, it was also because of the Mengshi Qin State that they were able to quickly regain control of the Beidi County and Shangjun, which shows how much the Montessori's voice in the center of Qin should have expanded.

Zhang Liang wanted to say something more. But he was stopped by Lu Zhe, who was stuck in some kind of thinking.

Yan Bi looked at Lu Zhe, who was lost in thought, and then smiled kindly at Zhang Liang, who turned his gaze.

Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, Yan, and Chu had lost control over the people in the process of their original destruction, and even if they were re-established, they did not really grasp the hearts of the people. The subsequent series of national policies did not benefit the head of Qian, in addition to asking or taking, after the request was not able to revive, with the rise of Lu Zhe and the dispatch of troops, and because of Lu Zhe's governance policy was quickly abandoned by the head of Qian.

There are many explanations for the difference, but one thing is clear. That is, the Qin State has at least not experienced the fall of the country, no matter how disappointed the Qin people are in the ruling class, at most it is a cold and onlooker posture, not like the royal families of Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, Yan, and Chu have completely exhausted the blessings left by the royal families of previous dynasties.

There is no doubt about it. As long as enough time is given and the Qin center under the leadership of Fusu is properly chosen, it is entirely possible for the Qin state to revive again, which is actually clear to both Lu Zhe and the ministers of the core of the Han state.

Yan Bi was a minister of the Han royal family. Any person or country that can hinder the rule and development of Lu Han is a natural enemy, and Yan Bi's hatred of the Qin State is a special reason.

"It's strategizing. The sentence "Decisive victory is thousands of miles away" came from Zhang Liang, why did a wise man who can be so praised clearly express his hostility to Montessori? Yes, Zhang Liang simply expressed his hostility towards the Meng family, and did not include the entire Qin State, why did he do this?

Of course, Lu Zhe knew that Zhang Liang was one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and he was now recalling what Zhang Liang had done and what kind of achievements he had in the original history.

So what did Zhang Liang do in the original historical version? It seems that at the beginning of the collapse of the Qin Empire, Zhang Liang has been running on the road to reviving Korea, and it was not until after the restoration of Korea that Liu Bang did not know what means he used to please Zhang Liang, and then Liu Bang obtained the consent of Han Wangcheng and asked Han Wangcheng to transfer Zhang Liang to Liu Bang, after which Zhang Liang became an important adviser under Liu Bang's account.

According to historical records, after Zhang Liang became Liu Bang's adviser, there was no shining point at first, the only shining point was that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu established a good friendship, and Zhang Liang used his personal friendship with Xiang Bo to connect the bridges, and really made Liu Bang and Xiang Yu become sworn brothers?

Liu Bang gained Xiang Yu's trust and finally became one of the leaders of the rebel army, but Zhang Liang, who had a good relationship with Xiang Yu, then had a new Jianyi.

Zhang Liangfeng advised Liu Bang to gradually break away from the rebel army led by the Xiang clan and go it alone, saying that Liu Bang would never be able to achieve much if he followed the Xiang group, and that Liu Bang had previously built yì to get close to the Xiang group and gain Xiang Yu's trust was nothing more than to "suck blood" from the Xiang group.

Liu Bang did succeed in "sucking blood" from the Xiang Group, at least among the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, in addition to the two or three thousand people who originally followed Liu Bang from Pei County, the rest were borrowed from Xiang Yu, and some were recruited under the banner of the Xiang Group.

If it was just that Liu Bang "sucked blood" from the Xiang group, and then it was not long after Xiang Liang died in battle, it was the stage when the Xiang group was hit by Song Yi after losing Xiang Liang, Zhang Liang allowed Liu Bang to properly get close to Song Yi, who held the power of the Chu State, and obtain benefits and official positions from Song Yi.

The Qin army sent troops to Julu, and the situation was developing in the direction that Zhang Han might extinguish Zhao Wangxie, Zhang Er and Chen Yu went south in person to ask for help from Chu, and during this time Zhang Liang began to give advice to the Xiang group, but the strategy was very rough, causing the Xiang group and Song Yi to be in an incompatible situation.

No one knows what role Zhang Liang played in that historical period? Seeing that he gave advice to the Xiang group and appropriately approached Song Yi in power, according to modern terms, Zhang Liang is the role of a double agent?

When Xiang Yu led the army to Julu, Zhang Liang strongly advised Liu Bang not to participate in the war of Julu, and to develop himself while the Xiang group could not be distracted. Liu Bang accepted Zhang Liang's Jianyì, and then Zhang Liang saw the opportunity to take advantage of the decisive battle between the Qin army and the rebel armies of the other countries in Julu, and Liu Bang's force easily stepped into Qin.

From the first moment Liu Bang stepped on the Qin land, a false strategy came from Zhang Liang's hand, hyping the news that Zhang Han had been defeated in Julu, and spreading rumors that Zhang Gao wanted to destroy the Qin royal family and establish himself as the king, which made the people of Qin panic and made matters worse, and it really detonated the internal struggle between Zhao Gao and the Qin royal family, and finally made the Xianyang guards who had gone through the infighting insufficient strength and lack of confidence in defending the city, and it was very strange to raise the city and surrender Liu Bang without a fight.

When Xiang Yu really defeated Zhang Han and marched into Qin, that is, the famous "Hongmen Banquet" incident in history, none of Zhang Liang's previous shining points could be compared with this time, and I don't know what means were used to make the originally murderous Xiang Yu really hesitate when he could kill Liu Bang.

Xiang Yu divided the princes of the world, and called himself the overlord because of Zhang Liang's handwriting, and at this moment Zhang Liang also became a strategist in Xiang Yu's group.

Zhang Liang's service to Xiang Yu is fake, and anyone who knows a little about history knows that the point is that Zhang Liang has become a spy again, ostensibly serving Xiang Yu, but in fact serving Liu Bang...... (To be continued......)
