Chapter 39 Attacking Zhao
After Qin Wangzheng listened to Li Si's recommendation, he immediately summoned Han Teng to inquire. And Han Teng also reiterated in front of Qin Wangzheng that he was sure of victory, and only by bringing 5,000 old troops was enough to destroy Han, and made a military order on the spot, if he couldn't destroy Han, he was willing to accept the guilt, but if he succeeded in destroying Han, he only asked to keep his 5,000 old troops and become an army of his own.
And Qin Wangzheng saw that Han Teng swore by it, and made a military order, and only dispatched 5,000 people, and they were all Han Teng's old troops, even if they lost, the loss was not big, and at the same time, they could also test how much strength South Korea still has now, if Han Teng really succeeded in attacking South Korea, then Qin State unified the world, and also took an important step, so Qin Wangzheng agreed to Han Teng's request and ordered him to lead the old troops to attack Han.
Unexpectedly, Han Teng really only used 5,000 men from his headquarters to successfully destroy Han, and it only took more than two months. Although South Korea is now very weak, it is not easy. It also shows that Han Teng has very good military talents, and it seems that Qin will have one more general in the future.
And now it is the time when the Qin State failed to attack Zhao on two fronts, and the general Huan Qi was killed, and this defeat also caused a lot of damage to the Qin State. Therefore, Han Teng's victory, for the Qin State, was indeed the best time, and it could completely reduce the adverse impact of Zhao's defeat.
In addition, although the territory of Korea is small, it was one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and now it has finally been formally annexed by the Qin State, which is also a good start, and South Korea is connected with Qi in the east, Chu in the south, and Wei in the north, and the geographical location is very important, because it cuts off the connection between Chu and Wei and Zhao, Qi has always been friendly with Qin, and Yan is weak and remote, so there is no need to worry about it, so the next step Qin State can go all out to deal with Wei and Zhao, and there is no need to worry about the countries to resist Qin again. After destroying Wei and Zhao, he attacked Chu in the south, Yan in the north, and then swallowed Qi to unify the world.
And Han Teng's victory also made Li Si very happy, because the order of using troops to destroy South Korea first and then Zhao Wei has always been advocated by Li Si, and now Han Teng's success in destroying Han is the result of his own recommendation, which also shows that his own proposition is correct.
Qin Wangzheng nodded and said, "After destroying Han, the next step is to destroy Zhao, and the widow will send another army to attack Zhao again." β
Among the six eastern countries, Qin Wangzheng hated Zhao the most, Qin Wangzheng's father Qin Zhuang Xiangwang Yiren was a proton of Zhao State, and his mother Zhao Ji was the daughter of a wealthy family of Zhao State, Qin Wangzheng lived in Zhao State before he was eleven years old, because it was after the Battle of Changping, Qin and Zhao had bad friends, so Qin Wangzheng and his mother were also bullied a lot in Zhao State, and sometimes even met to put their lives in danger.
Therefore, after Qin Wangzheng succeeded to the throne, he always wanted to destroy the Zhao State to avenge the revenge of his childhood, and he never forgot the plan to attack Zhao first, which is also partly due to this. And now that Korea has been destroyed, Qin Wangzheng immediately thought that the next target of Qin was Zhao.
Li Si was able to understand Qin Wangzheng's heart to some extent, but he still said: "Great King, although it is imperative to attack Zhao, my Great Qin can't immediately use troops against Zhao State now." β
Qin Wang Zheng frowned and said, "Why is this?" β
Li Si said: "First of all, it is the late autumn season, and it is about to enter the middle of winter, and the winter is not the time to use troops, so it is better to wait for the spring of the next year to attack Zhao again." The second is that now that Korea has just been destroyed, and the Korean land has not yet stabilized, the imperial court still needs to send important ministers to garrison in the Korean land, one is to stabilize the dΓ¬ng place, and the other is to prevent the Chu State from sending troops to aid Zhao. β
Qin Wangzheng also nodded, of course he knew that what Li Si said made sense, and he was not in a hurry to attack Zhao at this time, and the top priority was to stabilize the situation in Han Di first, although Li Si only said that he would send important ministers to garrison in Han Di, but Qin Wangzheng understood Li Si's hidden meaning as soon as he heard it. Now Han Teng is still stationed in Handi, after all, he is the clan of South Korea, and he can destroy South Korea within two months with 5,000 people, which also shows that he has considerable influence in Handi, and Han Teng has been stationed in Nanyang for a long time in the past, which is also the old land of Korea, in case he is supported in Handi, then let alone Handi, it will be lost and lost, I am afraid that he will not even be able to keep the land of Nanyang. Therefore, even if Han Teng is not withdrawn, at least another person must be sent to garrison Han Teng to contain Han Teng.
As for sending that important minister to garrison Handi, Qin Wangzheng already had two or three candidates in his heart, but Qin Wangzheng did not say it directly, although he trusted Li Si, but firstly, Qin Wangzheng still had to consider these candidates, on the other hand, Qin Wangzheng did not want his thoughts to be revealed in front of his subordinates, but wanted his subordinates to always feel that the monarch was unfathomable and unfathomable, even for the ministers who trusted, so Qin Wangzheng asked: "Is there any other reason?" β
Li Si saw that Qin Wangzheng didn't ask about the candidates for garrisoning Handi, of course, he wouldn't mention it again, and said: "There is another point, that is, Li Mu is still here, this person is proficient in the art of war, uses soldiers like a god, and can make the soldiers serve with death force, and defeat my Great Qin army twice in a row. β
Qin Wangzheng pondered for a while, nodded his head, and said: "Yes, I can't think of the little Zhao Kingdom, but he can repeatedly become famous generals, there are Zhao Hao and Lian Po in the front, and Li Mu in the back, but unfortunately Zhao Jun is mediocre and can't make the best use of it. β
Li Si smiled and said: "It is invincible, of course, it is to outwit, since our Qin State can make Zhao Xiaocheng King replace Lian Po with Zhao Shi, this time we can still do the same thing, or find a way on Zhao Wangqian, not to mention that the person in power of Zhao State is still Xiangguo Guo Kai, this person is short-sighted, greedy for money and profit, narrow-minded, jealous and jealous, in the past few years, I have been bribed by my Qin State for thousands of gold, so of course we can start from Guo Kai's body, and then use countermeasures, and wait for Li Mu to be removed, and then kill Zhao." β
When Qin Wangzheng heard this, he also smiled and said, "It seems that Li Qingshi has already made up his mind. β
Li Si said: "However, if we want to use countermeasures again, our Qin State cannot press the border with a large army, but should first deliberately show favor to Zhao State, so that Zhao Wangqian can relax his vigilance, and we can act." β
Because Zhao Guo has suffered a loss in the Battle of Changping, and wants Zhao to be fooled again, and does not tolerate another, although Zhao Wangqian is a mediocre king, but he is not a fool, He Li Mu has always been loyal to Zhao Guo, and this time he has made great contributions, Zhao Wangqian of course will not be suspicious of Li Mu for no reason, because he is in the situation of the army pressing, even if he is dissatisfied with Li Mu, he will not lightly relieve Li Mu of his military power, so he must first loosen Zhao Guosong, so he can carry out a counter-plan.
Therefore, Qin Wangzheng also nodded and said, "Okay, then let Zhao State go for the time being, but Li Qing must hurry up and act, after the beginning of the year, the widow must send another army to attack Zhao State." β
Li Si hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the king has already made up his mind, and before the start of the year, he will definitely be able to make Li Mu lose power." My Great Qin army will also be able to drive straight into and destroy the Zhao State. β
Qin Wangzheng was also very satisfied with Li Si's answer, Li Si was able to gain Qin Wangzheng's trust, loyalty is certainly one thing, but Li Si's outstanding ability is also crucial, at this moment, Qin Wangzheng suddenly said: "Li Qing, that plateau known as the star of the world, how is it now?" I heard that he has been named a doctor by King Zhao and can participate in court politics, will he be disadvantageous to my Great Qin? β
Li Si was also stunned, he didn't expect that the Qin Wangzheng would suddenly mention the plateau, but he still replied: "It doesn't matter whether the star is true or not, the plateau has just arrived in the Zhao Kingdom, although the official residence is a doctor, but the foundation is not deep, and now it is actually completely dependent on Li Mu, this battle of Fanwu, although he has made great contributions, is still only a general, not the commander of the whole army, and it may be possible in another three or five years, but now there is not much danger to my Great Qin, so there is no need to care too much." On the contrary, the relationship between him and Li Mu can be used, which is beneficial to our counter-plots. β
When Qin Wangzheng heard this, he was noncommittal, and said: "Li Qing, this time, in addition to the counter-plot, you asked my Qin State's spy personnel in Zhao State to pay close attention to the whereabouts of the plateau, and everything must be reported to the widow." After a pause, Qin Wangzheng said again: "Let people give it a try and see if they can recruit him to our Qin country." What Zhao Guo can give him, my Qin State can give him double. β
This remark greatly surprised Li Si, I didn't expect that the Qin Wangzheng would attach so much importance to the plateau, although among the countries, it is normal to dig each other's corners, but the plateau is now Bi Jing is just emerging, if it is for Li Mu, it is more reasonable, but Qin has not dug Li Mu, but Li Mu has always been loyal to Zhao State, and he is a very popular minister in Zhao State, Qin State can't dig it at all. Is it difficult to say that it is because the plateau has the identity of a star descending into the world? However, Qin Wangzheng has always believed in the theory of immortals, so it is not impossible to recruit Gao Yuan into Qin.
Li Si has been following Qin Wangzheng for more than ten years, and he has a very good understanding of Qin Wangzheng's personality and habits, and knows that Qin Wangzheng will not let his subordinates know what he is thinking, so he will not say anything, and said: "The order of the king is respected." β
It turns out that the Qin people have always been in awe of the heavens, and Qin Wangzheng still believes in the theory of gods, ghosts and immortals, and is even more convinced of the five elements of reincarnation of Zou Yan, according to the five elements of reincarnation, Zhou Shang Huode, Qin Shang Shuide, with water to overcome fire, so to Qin Dynasty Zhou, is still the result of the operation of heaven. Therefore, after knowing the affairs of the plateau, Qin Wangzheng immediately recruited Taibu to calculate and tell the murderer, and after Taibu entered the country for seven days and seven nights, the result of the calculation was two sentences: although it descended to Zhao, it would eventually benefit Qin.
Although the detailed meaning of Qin Wangzheng's two sentences can not be ignored, and Tai Bu also said that the heavenly machine will not be leaked, but only from a literal understanding, it seems to say that the birth of the plateau will eventually benefit the Qin State, but this time the prediction is carried out secretly, only Qin Wangzheng knows, of course he will not sue SΓΉ Lisi, but he also wants to try to see if he can recruit the plateau into the Qin State.
