Su Jie said: "Naturally, it is to practice the law, but the disadvantages of the Qin law have its own truth."

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "The benefits and disadvantages of practicing the law have been deeply analyzed in the court today, so Zheng'er will not follow suit. It's just that the Taifu can solve the confusion, what is the move today?"

Su Jie said: "As Li Si said, repairing books is a preparation for the law. In today's world of great controversy, only the Qin law can make the Qin country sweep away and make the country rich and the people strong. Woolen cloth."

A word from Su Jie.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment.

It's not that he didn't think about it.

However, once the Qin State is unified, it will create a situation that has never been seen in the past and present. Every move is a precedent for creating history. There is no historical lesson to learn from. Once something goes wrong, the consequences will make Yingzheng break out in cold sweat.

Otherwise.

Future generations may find it very simple.

That's because there is God's perspective.

However, after the unification of Yingzheng in history, he immediately fell into confusion, because he didn't know how to govern this unprecedentedly large country. You have to create a new system and new internal affairs.

The county system is a structure, but not an internal affairs system.

Everything is up to him to decide.

And the subsequent dynasties also followed in the footsteps of the first emperor.

It's like, losing the perspective of God, anyone who owns a huge dynasty doesn't know what path to take.

It's like Shang Jun created the rule of law, which is easy for later generations to see, but it's unbelievable for the predecessors to live in it.

Ying Zheng immediately said solemnly: "What the Grand Tutor means is that what Li Si said is more applicable after the great unification. Therefore, Li Si advocates to study books first and prepare for unification?"

Su Jie nodded immediately and said, "Li Si is also a loyal minister."

Hearing this, Yingzheng's heart was shaken, and then his face showed ecstasy, and he said: "Sure enough, it is not in vain that the widow trusts him so much, but why does the Taifu seem to have a prejudice against Li Si in the court?"

Su Jie said: "It's about Tingwei, I have no choice but to do this."

Ying Zheng stood up and asked in surprise, "Does the Grand Tutor want to make Li Si a court lieutenant?"

Su Jie nodded and said: "That's right, Li Sizhi's talent is enough to be a court lieutenant, but I still need to tell the king about something, the king should know why I did this."

Ying Zheng took a sip of his wine and said, "Please give me your advice!"

Su Jie said solemnly: "Now that the kingdoms of the Three Jins have been destroyed, what country does Your Majesty think can hinder the unification of Qin?"

Ying Zheng didn't even think about it, and said: "Chu State, but now our Qin State has a territory of more than [-] miles, which is no less than half an inch of Chu State. I believe that Daqu is [-]% old this year. Within three years at most, I will Chu will be destroyed."

Su Jie smiled slightly, and said, "Three years? If the king thinks this way, he won't be able to fight for 30 years."

"What? This, why?"

What Ying Zheng didn't know was.

In the Chu State in history, Ying Zheng let Li Xin die with hundreds of thousands of troops, but failed to defeat them. In the end, 60 soldiers from all over the country were led by Wang Jian, and they were finally defeated, and the time was still more than 20 years later. .

But now, because of Su Jie, enough history has been changed.

Now, Su Jie knew that it would be even more difficult for Chu State to rejuvenate the former Wuyue navy.

Saying 30 years is not bad at all.

Su Jie asked: "The world is so big. From the perspective of my ministers, Qin wants to rule the world. The final battle must be in Huainan and Huaibei. If you want to attack Huai, you must first go to Lingnan, and Lingnan will determine the prosperity and decline of Qin and Chu." However, the southwest of the Qin State is just south of the Lingnan Mountains, and it is also connected to the Chu State, but Bashu is not connected, and the only way to cross the great river is the danger, Your Majesty thinks it is right."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "What the Grand Tutor said is the correct answer."

Su Jie continued: "Supposing that the Chu State suddenly launched the water army of Wu and Yue in the north of the Huaihe River, and crossed the natural danger of the great river, with 20 water troops and [-] warships, they refused to defend the Jiangxia and Huai Rivers, and the fat and water formed a horizontal trend and refused to defend the north. On the other hand, none of our great Qin warriors are good at water warfare, and there is no water for training soldiers, how can we break it?"

Ying Zheng suddenly exclaimed: "What? Wuyue navy? But, but Taifu, the state of Chu may not have thought of this step."

Ying Zheng knew that if it was exactly as Su Jie said.

Even if Qin State has conquered the entire north.

At most, it is to compete with Chu State for national power.

He believes that the national strength of Qin State is not bad, but what is the paradigm of a strong state in Chu State?

I've never heard of the state of Chu having no food.

Even if you can win Chu State.

How many years will that take?

Is it possible to become a lifetime.

Su Jie shook his head, and said: "It's not that the Chu State couldn't think of it, but that it has already started planning according to what I said."

Ying Zheng frowned.

Su Jie's reminder made him realize that there was a scene he least wanted to see.

Chapter 677 The Water Pot's Strategy Chu State

Ying Zheng suddenly stopped drinking, and finally realized that there might be something behind him that he didn't know!

Ying Zheng said: "Teacher, there are a few things Zheng'er is unclear about, so please speak up!"

Su Jie said: "Your Majesty, please tell me, the minister will know everything."

Ying Zheng stood up, took two steps, seemed to be thinking about something, then suddenly turned around, looked at Su Jie and asked, "First, I want to rule the world, and my heart and ambition are unwavering. If, The establishment of a naval division in the state of Chu is bound to become a confidant of the state of Qin. It not only hinders the footsteps of the widow, but also hinders the footsteps of the subjects of the world who yearn for peace. The world is uncertain every day, and the people will be in dire straits every day. , must quell the 700 years of war, and achieve the world's first unified state of Qin, Chu, and the widow will be destroyed, but Zheng'er suddenly heard the news, like bad news, and wanted to ask the Tai Tuo, the widow and Qin, How should we break Chu's naval plan."

Su Jie looked at Ying Zheng, whose eyes were like torches, and who was deeply hidden.

Su Jie didn't speak for a while.

Ying Zheng immediately clenched his fists and said, "Could it be that the Taifu doesn't know, too?"

Seeing that Su Jie was also frowning, Ying Zheng went on to say: "The widow will destroy Yan Qi first. Didn't the Chu country refuse to guard the great river and want to fight against Qin? The widow gathered all the soldiers and horses from the whole country to attack Huaibei. The land already has the old people of Wu and Yue, and the people here are not well-educated, so it will be difficult for them to be single-minded as Chu State. If few people attack one point, Chu State will definitely not be as good as the rest. By then, they will be able to reach Shouchun, what does the Tai Tuo think?"

Su Jie looked at Ying Zheng and said, "It's not that I have no choice! It's just that the price is quite high, and I'm thinking about how to do it."

Su Jie said: "As Your Majesty said, attacking Huaibei can certainly be one of them. However, in the past 40 years, Chu State has never had any wars with Han, Wei, and Zhao. Therefore, Jiangxia is at peace. The only war is between Qi and Chu. The land of Huaibei that was handed over, but Lord Chunshen governed Huaibei, the land is strong and the people are strong, and the few people resist the mighty Qi, but why Qi has been unable to succeed every time?"

Su Jie said: "That's because Huaibei is backed by Jiangnan and Huainan, these two places, in the eyes of outsiders, belong to the barren land, the barren wilderness, but the fact is true, these two places are lush with food and grass, rich and vast , not only that, but also continuously provide troops to Huaibei. Therefore, although Chu State has a few enemies, although it has a losing streak, it does not hurt its vitality. Although strong, it cannot capture Huaibei, let alone approach the river, your majesty's plan is the same as Qi's."

Ying Zheng finished listening.

Immediately shook his head, said: "Teacher is right."

Su Jie continued: "Actually, I have thought about it a long time ago. I said to the king that the world is so big that only Jiangxia and Lingnan determine the prosperity and decline of Qin and Chu. On the contrary, it is not the Huai land. If you take Jiangxia and Lingnan, you will seize If half of the state of Chu is conquered, then Lingnan will become the foundation of the Qin state, and it will also instantly disintegrate the ruling and opposition structures of the Chu state. There is no other way to do this."

Ying Zheng looked at Su Jie and said, "Since the Grand Tutor thinks that there is no other way to win Jiangxia and Lingnan, maybe the Grand Tutor has already thought about it."

Su Jie smiled and said: "Lingnan and Jiangxia are both located in the southeast of Qin State, especially Lingnan, which is the hinterland of Chu State, and is close to Bashu. If you want to take Lingnan, the river is difficult to go, so you have to find another way."

Yingzheng's eyes turned hot immediately, and he asked, "Find another way? Grand Tutor, although the world is vast, there are only so many roads. How can we find another way to deceive Chu State?"

Su Jie heard the words.

He looked at the long-mouthed kettle in front of him.

Then he laughed.

Seeing that Su Jie had a different expression, Ying Zheng couldn't help but look at the long-mouthed kettle on the table.

Su Jie said: "Your Majesty, if you want to take Lingnan, the reason is it."

Ying Zheng held the kettle in his hands curiously, looked around, and said, "This kettle is very ordinary, does it contain some mystery?"

Su Jie got up and took the kettle from Ying Zheng's hand.

Put it on the table and remove the lid of the jug.

Su Jie pointed to the mouth of the bottle and said, "Look, Your Majesty, if the lid is from Hanzhong, where is the inside of the pot?"

Yingzheng looked at it intently, and then said: "In the pot are Bajun and Shujun."

Su Jie nodded.

Berkshire and Shu County, that is, the Sichuan Basin in later generations.

There is only one entrance to the Sichuan Basin, which is the only gap in the north, and there is a fortress city in that gap, called Hanzhong.

Ying Zheng suddenly had a look of disbelief on his face.

Su Jie continued: "Look again, Your Majesty, from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, you can enter Bashu, Bashu Basin, surrounded by mountains, and it is difficult for birds to cross, not to mention manpower. The north is the Qinling Mountains, the west is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the south is Yunnan-Guizhou. Between the plateau and Wushan Mountain in the east is the [-]-mile Yangtze River!"

When talking about the [-]-mile Yangtze River's natural danger, Su Jie's finger was already on the long spout of the kettle.

Ying Zheng's eyes were also focused on the last long mouth.

Said: "Here, it's actually here!!!"

Su Jie nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really smart. Bashu is the jug. If you want to enter, you can only pass through Hanzhong. In the eyes of people, Wushan and the Yangtze River are dangerous. If Your Majesty builds ships secretly in the Wushan area, our army will go eastward, bypassing the Wuyue navy and Yunmengze navy on the Yangtze River, and reach the Jiangxia and Lingnan abdomen of Chu State, and seize several cities in Jianghan in one fell swoop. , Standing on the foundation of land, Chu State will lose half of its country in an instant, and Chu State’s navy that has spent countless financial resources will immediately become useless soldiers and waste the country’s power. At this point, Chu will be destroyed.”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng picked up the kettle again.

Looking left and right carefully, laughing from time to time, the joy on his face can't be hidden no matter what.

He said loudly: "The widows already know that the Tai Tuo has already made up his mind, so why is Chu State afraid of it? Hahahaha, how could Chu State think that such a huge country will be defeated in the hands of a kettle!!"

Not waiting for Ying Zheng to continue laughing.

Suddenly Su Jie poured a basin of cold water over, "But, do you have money, my lord?"

Ying Zheng's face froze immediately, after thinking for a while, he said, "Ah!! Here, I have no money... I have no money."

Su Jie poured cold water on him again, saying: "No less than 20 troops, how much money does it cost to enter Bashu from Guanzhong? How much money? Afterwards, ten thousand warships will be built in Wushan. How much money it will cost is unimaginable. Once its manpower and material resources start to be consumed, it will not be able to solve the difficulty of Zheng Guoqu. Moreover, if such a big move is made, if Chu State knows in advance , This plan was ruined once, not only did it fail to catch people by surprise, but also wasted Qin's national power, and it also stunned the snake, has your majesty thought about it?"

Ying Zheng's expression twitched.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to think of so many things at once, but Su Jie reminded him at this time, which also made him feel like he was just having fun in vain.

Yingzheng thought for a while, calmed down, and said: "However, the Taifu said that there is no other way to attack Lingnan. No matter how difficult it is, I will do it. Since there is a plan to destroy Chu, if you retreat due to difficulties, the widow said Isn't it a trifling matter to destroy the six kingdoms! As for the money, I will figure out a way for myself."

Su Jie smiled and said nothing.

Said: "The minister, I hope the king will have his wish."

Ying Zheng looked at Su Jie for a while, with a strange expression on his face.

Su Jie immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't try to trick your ministers. Your ministers are just as poor as your Majesty. If your Majesty wants money, go find someone who is rich."

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and suddenly said: "But, the richest person Zheng'er knows is Wen Xinhou. Could it be that I can't let the widow find him?"

Su Jie laughed, and said, "It's not impossible for Your Majesty to think of him."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Before that, it was something that Zheng'er didn't understand. Second, I wanted to ask the Grand Tutor, the Pillar of Ting Wei, what is the relationship with Li Si?"

Su Jie said: "It's also for destroying Chu."

Ying Zheng asked, "This?"

Su Jie said: "Xiong Qi is in charge of the government. The king thinks that in Xiong Qi's eyes, does he hope that the king will destroy Chu, or that Qin and Chu will coexist in the world?"

Ying Zheng never expected that Su Jie would ask such a sensitive question.

However, he soon thought of some things, and then said: "I am a subject of the widow, of course I believe it and dare not say it. Everything is satisfactory, but at least it will not harm Qin. However, the Taifu never speaks aimlessly. , What rumors did you hear?"

Su Jie didn't answer right away.

Instead, he said: "Today, the words of the princes in the palace and the ministers can be summed up in one word. If the ambition of the king is to strengthen the army to settle the struggle and unify the world, the law of the Shang monarch is better than the law of the king's way. If the ambition of the king , only as the lord of the princes, in Chu State, Qi State, and Yan State coexist in the world, the king's lenient law is better than the Shang monarch's law, these are two pictures, so the king should know what the minister means."

Ying Zheng stared blankly.

Repeatedly said: "What? What does Taifu mean, Xiong Qi wants the widow to be the leader of the princes? Let Qin and Chu coexist?"

Su Jie summed it up in one sentence.

It's so precise.

However, in this way, how can Ying Zheng fail to understand why Xiong Qi is so vigorously promoting the law of kingship in the court.

Doesn't he just think in his heart that Chu State can survive the conquest of Qin State.

That is to say, this is the court of the Qin State.

Ying Zheng said angrily: "This? Thanks to the widow trusting him so much and entrusting him with the responsibility of being a prime minister, he doesn't understand the widow's heart? How bold! But, you know it clearly, Taifu, so why did you let Li Si come to practice the law. "

Su Jie said: "The revision of the law is to prepare for the unification of the Qin State. Xiong Qixing Wang Daokuan's law and Li Sikuan's law are worlds apart!"

"What a world of difference."

Su Jie said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten who Han Fei and Li Si came from?"
