Qin Dynasty snare people

The moment Chang Wenjun finished his words, the entire hall was silent. He continued: "The Chu and Wei countries are coming fiercely. They want to resist Qin's march to the east. The whole country of Wei is in full force, fighting with the army led by Wang Ben. The battle between armies is inextricable, and under such circumstances, it is not known how long it will continue.

It is better to adjust the strategy and point the finger at the 500,000 Chu troops led by Xiang Yan. If these 500,000 Chu troops can be captured, the destruction of Chu and Wei will be just a matter of seconds.

I think that we should not focus only on Wei. With the current national power of Qin, it is enough to destroy Chu and Wei at the same time! "

After the words fell, Lord Chang Wen also looked at Ying Zheng on the throne with a strong face, as if Qin could easily ravage Chu and Wei.

Chang Wenjun's words undoubtedly boosted morale.

Ying Zheng was also a little moved at this moment, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was considering Chang Wenjun's words.

However, Li Simengyi and others' expressions changed slightly. They looked at the problem from their perspective. It was not a good thing to fight Chu and Wei at the same time. Even if Qin had this national power now, there were too many variables in fighting on both fronts. The safest way was still Defending and attacking at the same time is obviously too risky.

But seeing Ying Zheng's moved expression, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

The main reason is that Qin has the strength to start a war with Chu and Wei at the same time, and even destroy the national power of both countries. There is really no need to pursue excessive stability.

Li Si, Meng Yi and others couldn't help but look at Luo Yan, wanting to see what Luo Yan thought.

Ying Zheng also looked at Luo Yan at this moment and asked, "What do Marquis Yueyang think?"

As Ying Zheng asked, the eyes in the hall instantly focused on Luo Yan.

"What Chang Wenjun said is reasonable. Since we have been frustrated in attacking Wei, it is better to change the direction. It happened that General Xiang Yan of the Chu State led 500,000 elite troops to come out. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the Qin State. If they can annihilate fifty Ten thousand Chu troops, Chu will be destroyed if we don't attack, but I'm a little worried about not having enough troops, I don't know how many troops General Wang Jian needs to keep the 500,000 Chu troops behind."

Luo Yan's thoughts moved slightly, so he took a step forward and praised Lord Chang Wen for his wit, while also expressing his worries.

troops? !

Ying Zheng frowned, looked at Li Xin, a veteran general on the field, and asked in a deep voice: "General Li Xin, how many troops do you think it will take to keep Chu's 500,000 troops?"

"The general will only need two hundred thousand."

Li Xin was over forty years old and had a mature aura. Hearing this, his expression remained unchanged and he cupped his hands and said solemnly.

"Two hundred thousand people?"

Ying Zheng frowned, looked at Li Xin with some surprise, and said in a solemn voice: "Chu has come with 500,000 people. Can 200,000 generals defeat Xiang Yan's 500,000 people?"

"The state of Chu is different from the state of Qin. Although the five hundred thousand troops and horses sound scary, they are not all aligned with each other internally. It is very similar to the time when the countries united. Although Xiang Yan has generals, it is difficult to command them smoothly. , the general is confident that only 200,000 people can defeat Xiang Yan’s 500,000 Chu army, and even destroy the Chu state!”

Li Xin was extremely confident, even arrogant, his eyes were unwavering, he looked directly into Ying Zheng's suspicious eyes and said in a deep voice.

He does have this ability, and it's not just bragging. With 200,000 Qin elites, there is no chance of destroying Chu. The most important thing is that he is also eager for military exploits at this moment. Han and Zhao have been destroyed, and Yan has accepted the land seal, and the remaining In the three kingdoms of Chu, Wei and Qi, if he didn't work hard, he wouldn't even be able to drink soup.

The people of Qin are warlike, this is engraved in their bones.

Some time ago, Lord Changping had talked with him about the war between Qin and other countries. It was only a matter of time before Qin unified the six countries, and now the two fattest pieces of meat were targeted by the Wang family and his son. If he didn't take the initiative now, A little, then there is really nothing left, even if it is a little risk, it is worth it.

What's more, there is no smooth sailing in a war. You will have to pay for what you want.

To put it simply, there is not much opportunity and time left for Li Xin to establish military exploits.

Old general, you are really eager for success... Hearing this, Luo Yan glanced at the other party and thought to himself.

Li Xin still has the ability to lead troops and fight, and he can even be regarded as a first-class general in the world. However, his temper is a bit bad. In the original book, he was instigated by Lord Changping and used the provoking method to provoke him to lead troops to attack Chu. In the end, he was intercepted by Lord Changping. After reaching the back road, the 200,000-strong army was almost wiped out. Seven captains were killed and fled in defeat.

Even Meng Tian almost fell in this battle.

Now it seems that Lord Changping did exactly that. He figured out Li Xin's temper and ran out at the right time to avoid suspicion. Li Xin also lived up to his soldier's temperament and was easily manipulated by Lord Changping and fell into a trap. .

Logically speaking, even if Li Xin could not destroy Chu, he would not have been defeated so miserably. His past record was still very convincing.

However, Lord Changping stabbed him in the back. He lost his food, grass and baggage, and was cut off from his retreat. He couldn't fight even if he wanted to. How could he not be defeated?

Meng Tian can grow up quickly, and this battle is also indispensable.

However, there is a saying that those who play politics are indeed dirtier than those who lead soldiers in war. Sometimes just talking can lead to countless people going to a dead end.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Xin's confidence and hesitated in his heart, mainly because Li Xin's past achievements were very convincing and he was not just a talker.

"Your Majesty, I think we should listen to General Wang Jian's opinion on this matter."

Luo Yan took a step forward, cupped his hands and said.

When Li Xin heard this, he frowned immediately, stared at Luo Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Does Marquis Yueyang think that the general is exaggerating? Wang Jian is not the only one in Qin who can lead troops in war!"

These words were also filled with a little resentment, feeling that Luo Yan was preventing him from making contributions, and at the same time he found that what Changping Jun said made sense.

Luo Yan was on good terms with the Wang family and gave the Wang family every opportunity to establish military exploits. If he didn't work hard for it, he wouldn't even be able to get a sip of soup, let alone meat.

"General, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to be on the safe side."

Luo Yan smiled bitterly and explained.

Li Xin was about to say something else, but was stopped by Ying Zheng's words: "This matter will be postponed until later."

After the words fell, the scene was a bit awkward, and Li Xin's face was even stiffer. Ying Zheng's words were undoubtedly on Luo Yan's side.

Chang Wenjun and others were also silent, as if they had expected this.

…

The court meeting ended soon, and Luo Yan was naturally kept by Ying Zheng and went to Yong Palace to drink tea.

The fragrance of tea overflows and white mist lingers.

The tea in the palace is better. Ask Zhao Gao to prepare some for me when I leave... Luo Yan took a sip of tea, looked at Ying Zheng in front of him, and said, "The king wants to ask about Li Xin."

"Sir, what do you think of General Li Xin's remarks today?"

Ying Zheng looked at Luo Yan with deep and calm eyes and asked softly.

"General Li Xin is a little eager to achieve success, but based on his past record, it is not impossible for 200,000 Qin elites to capture Chu, but the risk is a bit high, and he may suffer defeat. In contrast, General Wang Jian would choose a safer method, such as pushing forward with an army of 600,000, without giving Chu a chance.

The two have different fighting styles. "

Luo Yan was familiar with this period of history and spoke directly without any hesitation.

"Six hundred thousand?"

Ying Zheng frowned. Obviously, this number was a bit more than he expected. With Qin's current military deployment, it is impossible to mobilize 600,000 troops to destroy Chu. Unless the attack on Wei is suspended and all the troops are invested in Qin and Chu In the battle, Qin's previous deployments were all in vain, and doing so was obviously not in Qin's interests.

However, the half-million-strong army of the Chu State was a bit off-putting, which made Ying Zheng feel a little ready to move and did not want to fight slowly and step by step.

In other words, Ying Zheng does not want to take his time step by step. He wants to destroy the Six Kingdoms as soon as possible. After all, there is a wider world in this world.

Fighting in the country all day long, consuming yourself, is really boring and meaningless.

But without conquering the six kingdoms, Qin would not be able to free its hands and feet.

"But now there is a good opportunity. Maybe we can destroy Chu State with less effort."

Luo Yan held the tea cup, narrowed his eyes in the mist, and said slowly.

"Chance?"

Ying Zheng looked at Luo Yan, waiting for the next step.

Luo Yan straightened his face and said slowly: "Since Li Xin wants to lead an army of 200,000 to give it a try, the king might as well agree to him and secretly let Wang Jian lead the troops to support him at any time. If the plan is sound enough, it will be enough to trick Xiang Yan." These five hundred thousand soldiers and horses.”

"Sir, do you want to use Li Xin as bait?"

Ying Zheng instantly grasped the key point of Luo Yan's words and said in a deep voice.

Luo Yan nodded and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I still have doubts about Lord Changping, especially at this juncture, he went to the old land of Chu State. I suspect that he was not going to appease the old people of Chu State, but It's a private meeting with someone, such as Xiang Yan, and even Li Xin may be a part of it."

"...Do you have any evidence, sir?"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, looked at Luo Yan, and asked, if according to Luo Yan's statement, Changping Lord's plan was a bit big, and even involved the entire Qin State, including Ying Zheng.

"Intuition, from the first meeting, I had a bad feeling about Mr. Changping. My contacts with farmers over the years have also verified this."

Luo Yan said calmly.

He believed that Ying Zheng would choose to trust him instead of Chang Ping Jun.

Trust is sometimes important.

What he said to Ying Zheng did not require evidence or reasons, not to mention that it was not difficult to do. It was just to prevent Lord Changping from rebelling.

"Only sir can say this to me."

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, laughed, and said softly.

Luo Yan smiled and said: "Your Majesty still needs to put on a show, but don't let Mr. Changping and Li Xin see anything."

"Sir, do you think Li Xin will betray Qin?"

Ying Zheng's smile faded, he was silent for a moment, and asked.

"Won't."

Luo Yan said firmly.

If he were Lord Changping, he would not use his own people in this matter. There are too many flaws. The less something is done, the less involved it is, and the greater the success rate, especially at this juncture, not to mention Luo Yan is still Staring, Changping-kun will definitely take it out to prepare for the final blow.

Perhaps the biggest mistake of Lord Changping was that he did not expect Li Xin to be so confident that 200,000 people dared to destroy the Chu State.

If Li Xin dared to ask for 300,000 or even 400,000, then the ending in history would be really unpredictable.

Once nearly half of the elites of the Qin State are defeated, it will be difficult to predict the future trend.

Ying Zheng nodded and thought so.

There was a pause.

Ying Zheng also said with some emotion: "If it is true as Mr. said, then Changping Lord has hidden too much. His forbearance for so many years must have great intentions."

Ying Zheng thought that it was impossible for a person to endure it for such a long time, but Lord Changping did it, and even slowly climbed to the position of Prime Minister.

"What he wants is not just the throne of Chu, but maybe the whole world."

Luo Yan looked at Ying Zheng and said calmly.

The Changping Lord in history really just lacked some luck. If he had better luck, for example, if the people in Chu State were normal and Jing Ke was more successful in assassinating Qin, he might really be able to steal the sky and become the king of the world. Unfortunately, the world There is no if in the world, sometimes there is just a little difference, which is a gap that is difficult to cross.

There is never a shortage of capable people in this world, but there are too few lucky people.

Ninety-nine percent of hard work sometimes cannot compare to the one percent of luck. Some people are born with pig feet.

Qin is undoubtedly the only pig's foot in the Warring States Period. The six kingdoms all existed to set off the power of Qin. Likewise, Changping Jun Yan Dan and others were not there to set off Ying Zheng.

"The world~"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was not annoyed at all. There was even a smile on his lips, and he said lightly: "But I have never regarded him as my opponent, and he cannot be my opponent. From the moment he became a minister, , he is not worthy of being a king."

A real king would rather die than bow his head. Similar to Gou Jian, how can he become a real king?

Luo Yan looked at the domineering Ying Zheng and had an inexplicable illusion of witnessing history.

Some people are truly born to be kings.

Someone like Luo Yan might never be able to become a qualified king. Of course, if he were to be a foolish king, that would be another matter. If it were Luo Yan, he would never sit in the hall all day long and deal with government affairs.

A qualified king never lives for himself.

The same is naturally true for Ying Zheng. From the moment he took power, he was destined to be unable to live for himself, let alone live according to his own temperament. This is the responsibility and commitment of a king.

…

the other side.

Li Xin also complained beside Lord Chang Wen, and said angrily: "I have been told right in front of you. Your Majesty now only favors Luo Yan. The Wang family is on good terms with him. If things go on like this, how can we be in the Qin State?"

"General, don't be anxious. With the general's ability, as long as the king is determined to destroy the Chu Kingdom, he will definitely reuse the general!"

Chang Wenjun comforted him.

Without him, based on Wang Jian's past military habits, he almost never used less to defeat more. However, the number of soldiers and horses Qin could mobilize was limited, so Li Xin was the only candidate.

"I hope so!"

Li Xin snorted coldly, breathing a little heavily.
