After listening to Wei Yi's words, King Qin Zhengcai said: "According to Qing's opinion, how many troops will be dispatched to attack my Qin State this time when the Three Kingdoms are combined?" ”

The ministers were silent for a while, and then said weakly: "The Chu State has a vast territory, a large population, and a million people with armor, so it is not difficult to dispatch two or three hundred thousand troops. ”

Qin Wangzheng said: "If the enemy is lenient, let's calculate it according to 300,000." ”

Yao Jia also said: "Although the State of Qi has been peaceful for a long time, since Tian Kezhang became the Great Sima, he has been rectifying the army, and asked the generals of the acting army to come to the State of Qi to help train the Qi army, and the national strength of the State of Qi is strong, if it takes time, it is not difficult to collect a million troops, so the minister thinks that the army that the State of Qi can dispatch will never be under the State of Chu." ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded and said, "Then it's also 300,000." ”

Wei Yu said: "However, the soldiers of Qi and Chu are not as elite as our Qin State, so our Qin State is only half of them, which is enough to fight against them, but as the king said, the enemy is expected to be lenient, as 200,000 and 400,000 troops are needed, which can fight against Qi and Chu." ”

King Qin said: "What about the Han Kingdom? ”

The ministers were silent for a while, and Meng Wucai said: "In the last battle of the Qin Dynasty, the plateau dispatched more than 300,000 troops, but that was almost all the strength of the Dai County, and now the plateau has exhausted the land of Yan, and the national strength has more than doubled, and the army should be doubled, and the soldiers that can be used will never be less than 200,000, and the strength of the Han army is by no means under my Qin country, not to mention that the plateau is proficient in the art of war and is good at winning by surprise, so the army of our Qin State must not be less than the Han army. ”

Qin Wang Zheng said: "In other words, to deal with 200,000 Han troops, at least 200,000 Qin troops are needed, or even more?" ”

Meng Wu said: "Just as the king said. ”

The ministers of the Qin State in the main hall were also silent for a while, if it was calculated in this way, the strength of the combined alliance army of the three countries would reach about 800,000, and the Qin State would have to dispatch at least 600,000 troops to match it. This is almost the limit of the force that the Qin State can dispatch.

Although with the current population of Qin, it is not difficult to collect a million troops, but the standing army of Qin's state is only about four or five hundred thousand, which is also the main force of the Qin army, and the newly occupied land of Zhao, Wei and Han still needs a certain number of troops to garrison, as well as the capital Xianyang, which also needs a part of the army to defend, so the main army that can go out to fight will not exceed 300,000. Others need to be collected from among the people. Although the people of the Qin State were martial and brave, the temporary army recruited from the common people was obviously not comparable to the standing army.

And the three kingdoms of Han, Qi and Chu just calculated are also the standing armies of each country, even if the three kingdoms will not send out all the standing armies, but it will not be less than 500,000, and the three kingdoms can also recruit people to join the army, even if it is not impossible to make up a million army, you must know that when Xinling Jun organized a joint expedition against Qin, he only made up 500,000 troops, and defeated the Qin State. What's more, the Three Kingdoms Alliance also has a commander like Gao Yuan who will never lose to Xinling Jun, so no matter from that point of view, the Qin State is obviously inferior, and the shape is not optimistic. And the ministers of the Qin State obviously saw this, and the atmosphere in the hall was very depressing for a while.

At this time, Han Teng said: "King, the minister has a plan to fight against the army. ”

Qin Wang Zheng said: "What is Qing's plan?" ”

Han Teng said: "Please take the map." ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded, and immediately ordered someone to take the map and spread it on the table, and all the ministers surrounded Long, Qin Wangzheng said: "Qing's plan will be released?" ”

Han Teng pointed to the map and said, "Daliang is where we fight against the army. ”

Among the ministers of the Qin State, Wei Yan was the most proficient in the art of war, so as soon as he heard Han Teng say the word "Daliang", he immediately understood Han Teng's intentions, clapped his hands and laughed: "General Han's words are really a good plan. ”

But the other ministers hadn't come to their senses yet, and Li Si said: "Lieutenant, General Han, can you explain in detail?" ”

Han Teng said: "Lord Guowei already knows what I mean, so let's ask Lord Guowei to explain to you in detail." ”

Wei Yi was not polite, and said: "King, Han and Chu are connected without borders, so if the three kingdoms form a joint army, they can only assemble in Qi State, and then attack our Qin State, and this time, the United Column must pass through the Great Liang long ago, and my Qin State only needs to gather troops in the Great Liang and defend it by relying on the strong city, which is enough to block the Hezong army, and although the number of the Hezong army is large, but the amount of grain and grass materials, and the amount of transportation and supplements is huge, as long as we can hold on to the Great Liang for more than a year, I am afraid that the Hezong army will not be able to support it, and will automatically retreat. I, the Qin State, can have no worries. ”

Everyone listened, and they all suddenly realized, Daliang City is a number of strong cities in the world, the city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as there is enough food and grass materials and necessary troops in the city, it is enough to resist the attack of a million troops, at the beginning of the Qin State was in the city of Daliang suffered a big loss, and then used the method of water attack, which wasted more than half of the time in recent years, before it was considered to have conquered Daliang.

However, some people immediately thought that when the Qin State conquered the Great Liang with the method of water attack, then the joint army could also use the method of water attack to deal with the Qin State. Therefore, it was immediately brought up.

Wei Wan said: "Of course, my Qin State used the method of attacking with water to conquer the Great Liang, but it was still because my Qin State first captured the entrance of the Ling Canal to the Yellow Mouth, so that the Great Canal could be dug and the Yellow River water could be diverted to irrigate the city, so as long as we hold the Yellow Mouth, we can save the Great Liang from flooding." ”

Wang Juan said: "The high walls of Daliang City are thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is no danger to defend into Huangkou, if the combined vertical coalition army first goes all out to attack Huangkou, and then divert the Yellow River water to irrigate the city, how should we resist it?" ”

Wei Yu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't answer for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, Han Teng said: "If the Hezong Alliance Army uses the prime minister's plan, it can indeed lead the Yellow River water into Daliang City, but in this way, it will take a long time, and it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and my Qin State can divide the army into two roads, all the way to defend Daliang, and all the way to attack Han and Chu, at that time, the elite of Han and Chu will be in front of Daliang City, and the country will be empty, and it will inevitably return to the army to rescue, and Hezong will not be attacked; And even if the combined column army captures the Great Liang, it will be exhausted, unable to advance westward again, and will definitely stop the truce. ”

Li Si nodded and said: "The plateau is proficient in the art of war, if you can capture the Great Liang, it is to gain immortal merit, I am afraid that it will not advance westward lightly, and my Qin State will lose the Great Liang, then we can only retreat to Luoyi, and the entire Wei land will be difficult to protect, even if we have already stopped the war, it is not good for our Qin State, we can only recuperate for a few years in the three kingdoms of Han, Qi and Chu, and after recovering their strength, they will join forces to move westward again, how can we resist it?" ”

Han Teng said: "Don't forget the long history, now that the Wei State is dead, if the three kingdoms of Han, Qi and Chu can get the land of Wei, how will it be distributed, and who can get the Great Liang, it will inevitably be the head of the Three Kingdoms, so I am afraid that the Three Kingdoms of Han, Qi and Chu may all want to get involved in the Great Liang, at that time, my Qin State will be divided from it, it is not difficult to decompose and merge the vertical, as long as the Three Kingdoms are combined and disintegrated, they will not be the opponents of my Qin State, and my Qin State will break them one by one, and you will be able to win a complete victory." ”

The ministers discussed, Qin Wangzheng has not made a sound, just sat quietly on the throne and listened, only after Han Teng finished speaking, Qin Wangzheng's heart had a little bottom, after so many years of dealing with the alliance, the Qin State is also very clear, the basis of the alliance is the threat of the Qin State, only the Qin State will force the countries into a corner, the countries will work together to fight against the Qin State, and as long as the crisis is slightly resolved, the people's hearts will immediately be discouraged, even if it is still formed, it is also a ghost, intrigues, not difficult to deal with, Therefore, the Qin State is not completely without cards to play, at most it is to lose the Wei land, with the current and volume of the Qin State, the loss of the Wei land, will not hurt the muscles and bones, and as long as it can resolve the Three Kingdoms and lose the Wei land, it can still be recaptured.

Therefore, Qin Wangzheng also nodded and said: "Qing's words are extremely true, it seems that Daliang is indeed the place where my Qin State is fighting against the Hezhong army. ”

Qin Wangzheng said this, even if it was basically setting the tone for the war between Qin and the Three Kingdoms, so all the officials no longer argued, but immediately returned to their positions and stood up, waiting for Qin Wangzheng's arrangement.

Qin Wangzheng said at this time: "Yao Qing." ”

Yao Jia hurriedly came out of the queue and said, "The minister is here." ”

King Qin said: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival, must be guarded against, so the soldiers who can surrender without a fight are good at Dayan, so the secretary goes to the country of Qi, the relationship is heavy, and you need to be very careful." The widow gave Qing 5,000 pieces of gold, 2,000 pairs of white bi, and 500 pearls to finance Qing's trip. ”

Although it is said that he has made a plan to deal with the military response, but if he can not fight, of course, it is better not to fight, after all, this battle is really fought, and the chances of the Qin army winning are really not great, so Qin Wangzheng first pinned his hopes on Yao Jia, if Yao Jia can successfully kill Tian Kezang and divide the three kingdoms, it will naturally be better. And Yao Jia's trip, in addition to killing Tian Kezang, also has to pull Long to buy the ministers of Qi, and then support a pro-Qin minister of Qi to take power, so as not to kill a Tian Kezang, and a second Tian Kezhang will appear again, and if you want to buy the ministers of the Qi State of Lalong, money and treasures are naturally inevitable, and Qin has always been stingy in this regard.

Yao Jia hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, the king, the minister immediately started to prepare, and immediately set off for the Qi country." ”

Qin Wangzheng said again: "However, the preparations for the war must not be relaxed, Prime Minister Wang, you prepare immediately, and immediately use all kinds of materials to Daliang, at least to ensure that the materials in Daliang City can support more than a year." ”

Wang Juan hurriedly said: "The order of the king, do it immediately?" ”

Qin Wangzheng said again: "Wang Ben." ”

Wang Ben came out and said, "The minister is here." ”

Qin Wang Zheng said: "You immediately rush back to Daliang, build fortifications, and prepare to guard Daliang to resist the Hezhong army." ”

Wang Ben said: "The order of the minister." ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded at this time and said, "Scatter the dynasty." ”
