Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 117

Tingwei Mansion.

"A man of great talent and great strategy, a genius who leads a country, is the king of mountains."

Standing in front of the mansion, Li Si stared at the sparkling water and couldn't help sighing.

The four kingdoms were destroyed in three years. Apart from the solidarity of the army and the people and the strength of the country, Qin Wangzheng's talent in employing people is self-evident.

After Ye Teng came to Qin Dynasty, Qin Wangzheng had no doubts in employing people. Instead of dismissing him, he accepted his order as Nanyang's false guard and led the soldiers of the four counties to destroy Han in one fell swoop.

Wang Jian was mature and stable, and Qin Wangzheng accepted his order to follow the steps, command the three armies, and gradually erode Zhao.

Li Xin was young and energetic, and the King of Qin ordered him to lead five thousand cavalry to attack thousands of miles and kill the Yan army back to Liaodong in one fell swoop.

Wang Ben's military skills were excellent and his strategy was appropriate. Qin Wangzheng accepted his order to flood the beams with a strange strategy and destroy Wei in one fell swoop.

Facing the unification of the six kingdoms, Qin Wangzheng ordered Yao Jia to go on an envoy to the six kingdoms, and retreated millions of soldiers with his three-inch tongue.

There are various signs that the Qin Wangzheng made overall plans, employed people appropriately, was good at accepting the strategies of counselors, and had a unique intuition and sensitivity to changes in the military struggle, which impressed Li Si.

In addition, at yesterday's banquet, Lord Changping was dismissed from his official position and Wang Wan became the prime minister.

Qin Wangzheng also recalled all the soldiers on the front line and temporarily put aside the remnants of Yan State Liaodong and Zhao State Shangdang.

Instead, they discussed a war to destroy the country.

Meeting the next day.

Qin Wang Zhengtuan sat on the emperor's couch, showing his sharp tiger eyes, and said to everyone: "The tiger and wolf armies of Great Qin have conquered the four kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Yan, and Wei, but the remaining parties of Yan and Zhao are not of concern."

"The war between Yan and Zhao is put on hold for the time being. After Qi and Chu are destroyed, we can clean up the mess in one fell swoop."

"Today, the generals are called to participate in the court meeting to discuss the next battle to destroy the country!"

The implication is whether to destroy Qi first or Chu first.

Li Xin took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I think that we should take advantage of the strength of the Qin army to destroy Chu in one fell swoop."

"The state of Chu is vast and rich in resources. After Chu is destroyed, the state of Qi will collapse without attack."

"Your Majesty, you can rule the world with one battle!"

There was a heroic aura in his words, and he obviously wanted to destroy Chu in one fell swoop and determine the world in one battle.

Wang Ben shook his head lightly and said: "It is possible to destroy Chu, but it is not easy to destroy Chu!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Ben took up the big case and stood up and said: "In terms of geography, the state of Chu is large and has many people, while the state of Qi is small and few."

"In terms of morale, the people of Chu are strong and brave, while the people of Qi have been flashy for many years, and they are peaceful and timid!"

"Only by destroying Qi in one fell swoop can we advance by water and march south to attack Chu. In this way, Chu can be destroyed!"

Above the court hall, there were two different voices, Qi will be destroyed first and Chu will be destroyed first.

Many people in the court expressed their opinions.

Since King Huai of Chu, the conflicts between the two countries have been fierce. Chu State has repeatedly invited Qi State to join the alliance, but they were all rejected. Qin State does not have to worry about the alliance between the two countries.

Should the easy ones be destroyed first, or the difficult ones first?
After a heated exchange of words, the experienced Wang Jian expressed his position: "Your Majesty, the battle to destroy Chu is no small matter. The state of Chu has 800 years of history. If we launch a battle to destroy Guo, we must have an army of 60!"

boom!
Wang Jian's words shocked all the officials, and their bewildered eyes were focused on Wang Jian.

60 troops?
Doesn’t this require the whole country to attack?

If Chu is destroyed in this way and the people of the whole country are mobilized, there will be no one to guard Xianyang, the capital of Qin!
What if the old ministries of Han, Zhao, Yan, Wei and the four countries revolted and rushed to Xianyang?
Generals like Wang Ben, Meng Wu, and Li Xin all stared blankly in place.

Qin Wangzheng was also thoughtful, with anger rising vaguely.

It's not that I'm worried about rebellion, but I'm worried that Wang Jian will support himself and unite with Chu State to fight against Qin State!
A king must be suspicious. What's more, Wang Jian and his son destroyed the four kingdoms, and they made great achievements. The whole country agrees with Wang Jian!
Qin Wangzheng's worry is not empty talk!

Sure enough, when Wang Jian finished speaking, many generals in the court reprimanded Wang Jian, but Wang Jian refuted them with words.

At the end of the court meeting, King Qin observed what he was saying. After pondering for a moment, he felt that if Chu was destroyed first, Qi would surrender, and the world would be settled in one battle.

However, Qin Wangzheng did not agree with what Wang Jian said about the 60-strong army destroying Chu.

As soon as Qin Wangzheng took a look at the king's case, he looked around the main hall and said, "There is no need to discuss the order of Qi and Chu. It is easy to go first to Qi, but it is better for the overall situation to go first to Chu. I have decided to go to Chu first. The court will meet tomorrow to decide on the strategy of attacking Chu."

The King of Qin has the intention of sweeping the world, including the universe, including the four seas, and annexing the heart of the eight wildernesses.

That being the case, Qin Wangzheng needs not only experienced veterans, but also a large number of enterprising and energetic young people.

Qin Wangzheng asked Wang Jian and General Li Xin about their attitudes, but Wang Jian's attitude remained unchanged, causing Qin Wangzheng to stare at Wang Jian like a knife.

Seeing Qin Wangzheng's cold gaze, Wang Jian had no choice but to keep silent.

Immediately, Qin Wangzheng glanced at Li Xin and said calmly: "General Li Xin, does he have a plan to attack Chu!"

Li Xin looked excited, stood up, patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, I only need 20 troops to destroy Chu in one battle!"

20 troops?
King Qin seemed very satisfied with his answer and waved Wang Jian to leave, leaving Li Xin alone!
Qin Wangzheng looked straight at Wang Jian, and said with a contemptuous smile: "General Wang Jian is in his twilight years, he is very old, and he is afraid of Chu, so he wants to use 60 troops!"

Qin Wangzheng has deep eyes, looking forward to Li Xin's overall plan

Li Xin immediately took out the Kantu map from his collar, spread it out on the large bronze case, and talked eloquently about the government of the King of Qin.

Qin Wangzheng encouraged Li Dao: "General Wang is getting old, Daqin needs good young generals like General!"

This sentence is the affirmation Li Xin has been waiting for for many years. It is indeed not easy to be boasted by Qin Wangzheng.

This also caused a vague sense of pride in Li's confidence, but he didn't know that it was this sense of pride that laid the foundation for his defeat.

Li Xin was so excited on the spot that he bowed his head and said that he would definitely live up to the king's high expectations!King Jing will be bound before the king!
"In the battle to destroy Chu, General Li will be the commander in chief. Conscript Guanzhong and Shandong counties and counties, and send troops when the food is sufficient after autumn!"

As for Wang Jian, it seemed that he was worried that Qin Wangzheng would get rid of him to avoid future troubles, so he offered to resign and return home.

After Changpingjun recovered from his serious illness, he was demoted to Nanjun as the county guard and prepared rations for an army of 20.

The next day.

The king ordered the edict to be issued.

The King of Qin appointed Li Xin as commander-in-chief and Meng Tian as deputy general. After the autumn harvest, he marched into Chu!
Using Wang Ben's troops to secretly march into Huainan and north of the river, cut off the Chu army's escape route across the south of the river, and use the Bashu water army to go down the river to the east, occupy Yiling Fangling, and cut off the Chu army's escape route from Jingchu to Jingchu!

The whole country began to get busy, using curved shaft plows to sow seeds, keel waterwheels for irrigation, treadmills to pound rice, wooden oxen and flowing horses to transport grain, and the method of purifying coarse salt to improve the flint of the army.

Xiaozhinu didn't seem to want Li Xin to go to destroy Chu, but Qin Wangzheng had something to hide. After Xiaozhinu stopped him, Qin Wangzheng shook his head many times.

Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, the young slave began to think about the 20-strong army to destroy Chu. He tried his best to make up for the losses, and even created a miracle to destroy Chu in one battle.
After reorganizing for three months, Li Xin prepared his troops and prepared for war with the Chu army.
