Chapter 255: Three Years of Refinement(1/2)
"What's wrong? Wei State can be dealt with in the end." Qin Mo said.
One of the biggest differences between Yue and Qin is that Yue has a land of Baiyue, and it can completely bypass Hangu Pass and enter the Central Plains from Baiyue.
Even from the sea.
"Have the Prime Minister ever thought about what would happen if Yan State was destroyed first?" Qin Mo launched a long and incoming attack, but it was not just a talk, but there was really a specific plan.
"Yan Country?"
Jia Xu was even more surprised, "Yan State does not have a border with us, how can we eliminate it? Could it be from the sea?"
“It’s at sea.”
Qin Mo nodded affirmatively, "I can get shipbuilding skills, or even move finished large ships. As long as I build a port and train enough sailors, I can detour from the sea to attack Yan State."
It is really not difficult to build large wooden ships with real industrial capabilities.
“…”
Jia Xu had to admit that he really underestimated the king's ability to carry two realms.
To this day, the natives of "The Great Wilderness" who are a little closer to Qin Mo know that the aliens come from a magical world and can easily travel between the two worlds.
Therefore, it does not seem very surprising.
After careful evaluation, Jia Xu said a little excitedly: "If an attack can be launched from the sea, then Yan State will be completely unprepared. If it is unexpected, it can indeed be destroyed in one fell swoop."
Because of the conflict between Chu and Yue, coupled with the large geographical borders, the various vassal states, including Chu and Yue themselves, would subconsciously think that Yue would be the first to attack Chu.
Because of this,
The Chu army was almost deployed in one north and one south, guarding against Guanzhong and Baiyue respectively.
on the contrary,
Yan State would never have dreamed that one day the disaster would fall from the sky, and more than half of the troops were not on the local land, but were deployed in the newly occupied Zhao State's old land.
Most of the rest were deployed on the southern border, always guarding against Qi.
The east coast and hinterland of Yan State were almost unprepared. When they were attacked suddenly, they could not react at all. In addition, the sharpness of the Yue State army, they would probably be able to break through Jicheng in just one month.
"But I heard that water monsters often appear in the sea, and it is not safe to sail." Jia Xu was still a little worried.
Qin Mo smiled and said, "Did the Prime Minister forget the black dragon Ao Que? The dragon clan is the overlord of the aquarium. If the black dragon comes forward, I want to see which aquarium dares not give face to the ships of Yue."
"It was my subordinate who was negligent." Jia Xu felt a little embarrassed.
"Then does the Prime Minister agree with my strategy of fighting for hegemony?"
Jia Xu bowed, "Of course, the strategy above the king is the basis. However, the barbarians rarely have water-knowing people. It will take at least two or three years to train a sailor team."
He originally thought that with the king's impatient spirit, he should attack Chu next year.
"We can afford to wait." Qin Mo's attitude changed drastically.
It is just because in Qin Mo's eyes that the biggest obstacle to Yue's unification of the world was Qin.
The others are cattle and horses.
If Qin State is destroyed and the biggest hidden danger is eliminated, Yue State can naturally respond calmly and no longer have to race against anyone. The longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for Yue State's development.
With Qin Mo's cultivation level in the Void Refining Stage, if you want to break through the realm, it will take ten years or a hundred years to make it, so you can naturally wait and not rush for a while.
"In this way, my subordinates will have no doubts anymore." Jia Xu was impressed.
"That's it!"
Qin Mo was also very straightforward and made a decision on the spot to decide the future strategy of the country's hegemony.
The times changed, and it was completely different from the Qin State's hegemony strategy formulated by Li Si for the Qin King's government.
…………
Five days later,
Qin Mo summoned Jia Xu, Bai Hua, Zhang Yi and Zhao Gao to discuss the matter in Longchuan City. The specific action strategy for the conquering Yan State was discussed.
The four of them have their own division of labor.
Bai Hua is responsible for building large ships in reality, and at the same time, selecting suitable places to build a naval port on the coast near Longchuan City for daily training of sailors.
When the time is ripe, ship trial sailings must be organized to find out the route of sea.
Zhang Yi is responsible for breaking the Four-Nation Alliance.
The main strategy is to win over Wei, alienate Qi and Yan, isolate Chu, use all available means to provoke the relationship between the four countries, and create favorable external conditions for Yue countries to compete for hegemony.
It's considered a return to the old business.
Needless to say, Zhao Gao, in addition to cooperating with Zhang Yi's diplomatic strategy, Luowang will also be responsible for inquiring about the information of the Yan State, drawing a map of the Yan State, and laying the foundation for future military operations.
As the general manager, Jia Xu coordinated with all parties and worked with generals such as Lian Po, Bai Qi, Li Mu to formulate a detailed plan to destroy Yan.
Destroy Yan,
It's definitely not just fighting with Yan State.
Once a war begins, it is equivalent to provoking war on the mainland, and the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Wei will inevitably be involved.
Therefore, before the war begins, a reasonable prediction must be made to see how the Three Nations respond in order to formulate targeted plans so as not to be in a hurry.
The entire plan is linked together and indispensable.
It was half a month later when everything was finalized.
Qin Mo was finally able to get out and do his own thing.
Given that there may be no major events in the next two to three years, Qin Mo is preparing to take advantage of this rare time to complete the next stage of body refining.
The wind and thunder tribulation after the Five Elements Tribulation can be carried out in the Void Refining Period.
…………
May 1, 225 BC.
Qin Mo appeared in Xianyang in a high-profile manner and announced to the public that he would conduct a three-year retreat. All the affairs of Yue State were handed over to Prime Minister Jia Xu and Xun Yu, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, was appointed as the acting.
Before this, Qin Mo had completed the defense replacement of the Vietnamese army.
The First and Second Corps of the Black Water Army, as Qin Mo's personal guard, was stationed outside Xianyang.
The Third Corps of the Black Water Army guarded Hangu Pass, the Fourth Corps guarded Wu Pass, and the Fifth Corps crossed Wu Pass and was stationed in Nanyang County, which came from Chu State.
The Black Water Army commander Bai Qi was responsible for the entire Guanzhong defense.
The Eighth Corps of the South Vietnam Army was stationed in western Guanzhong, the Ninth Corps was stationed in Hanzhong, the Seventh Corps retreated to Bashu, and the remaining six legions retreated to Baiyue.
in,
Except for the First and Second Army of the South Vietnamese Army, the remaining Third to Sixth Army were stationed near Longchuan City, led by General Li Mu of the Cavalry, and were all stationed in Jiangdong County and Kuaiji County.
He acted as if he could attack Chu at any time.
…………
May 2.
Just the day after Qin Mo announced his retreat, Zhang Yi, the Minister of the Honglu Temple of Yue State, led a 20-person envoy to embassy to embark on a journey around the world.
In the first battle, I chose my old neighbor Wei Kingdom.
As planned before, Zhang Yi brought the kindness of Yue State - not leaving Hangu Pass for five years and providing millions of stones of food aid to help Wei State overcome difficulties.
The King of Wei, who was in a state of turmoil, knew that Yue had a purpose, but could not refuse such kindness. He readily accepted Yue's assistance.
It smells so good!
Although the two countries only signed a small agreement to include Hangu Pass in a demilitarized zone, it has undoubtedly opened a small hole in the four-state alliance.
Zhang Yi's performance officially begins!
Afterwards, Zhang Yi visited Qi and Yan respectively, and even took time to visit Song and Lu to convey the kindness from King Yue.
Only bypass Chu State.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the meaning of Yue's country against Chu is becoming more and more obvious.
The attitudes of various countries are also undergoing subtle changes...
Wei State made a fortune in silence. While consuming the aid of Yue State, he did not withdraw from the Four-Nation Alliance. He maintained an ambiguous relationship with Qi, Chu and Yan.
Qi and Yan were relatively cold to Yue, and even sent envoys to appease Chu.
Explain,
Once the Kingdom of Yue starts war against Chu, it will never be out of the matter.
In essence, Qi and Yan made up their minds to watch the tiger fight, and except for verbal support, they did not provide any substantial help to Chu.
on the contrary,
In exchange for support from Vietnam, the two countries even had an affair with Vietnam.
The Warring States world returned to the familiar flavor. The intrigue between countries was hard to tell which one was a friend and which one was the real enemy.
To be continued...
