Chapter 14 The Alien New Deal (2)

This question is exactly what everyone thinks, all of whom looked at Wang Jian and waited for him to speak. (Baidu Search Literature Museum)

"The six kingdoms in Shandong have been destroyed, and the strong Zhao has not survived. However, the Qin Dynasty is going to have a difficult battle." Wang Jian began to analyze and said, "The four kingdoms of Qi, Yan, Wei and Han are not difficult to destroy. Only Chu is the state of difficulty."

"This..." King Zhao of Qin was quite surprised and said, "Although Chu State is big, it is a rare man who dares to fight. He has fought with the Qin Dynasty for hundreds of years and has been defeated repeatedly. Why is Chu the most difficult to destroy?"

The largest land in Shandong is Chu, with a large population, a wide land and abundant resources. However, Chu was the most conservative Warring States Period. By the end of the Warring States Period, it was still using the chariot wars of the Spring and Autumn Period and was far from keeping up with the pace of the times. It was precisely because of this that Chu was suppressed by Qin for hundreds of years, and lost land and lost many lands.

A large part of the land of Qin State today was seized by Chu State, such as the land in Guizhou and the Han River Plain, which were all seized from Chu State.

In King Zhao of Qin's impression, Chu State is just a soft persimmon and doesn't care about it at all. Wang Jian said that Chu State is the most difficult to destroy, and King Zhao of Qin really doesn't believe it.

Among the six Shandong countries, King Zhao of Qin attached the most importance to Zhao State. Because of the success of King Wuling of Zhao's "Hu Clothing, Horsemanship and Shooting", Zhao State had a soldier who was good at fighting, but he could challenge Qin State. It was precisely because of this that the Changping Battle was just now. Even a strong opponent like Zhao State was destroyed, and he still cared about a mere Chu State?

"Yes." As soon as King Zhao of Qin finished speaking, a sound of echoes came.

This time, even Fan Sui and Bai Qi didn't believe it very much.

Fan Sui was a talented man with great wisdom and great wisdom throughout the ages, but he was not good at military affairs; Bai Qi was the opposite, and he was first-class in war, but not political. Wang Jian's conclusion happened to be the conclusion drawn by combining the strengths of these two people, and it was impossible to be surprised by both of them.

"The difficulty in destroying Chu is not that Chu has the vast land, the most numerous, and the most abundant resources, but because the hidden strength of Chu is difficult to estimate." Wang Jian then analyzed and said: "As we all know, Chu is controlled by aristocratic families. In addition to the royal family, the five major families of Qu, Jing, Zhao, Huang and Xiang are the most powerful. These families not only have land cities, but also soldiers. In order to control the government and seize more land cities, these families do everything they can. Even if it is an internal struggle, even if it is a defeat for Chu..."

"Yes." King Zhao of Qin seemed to have some understanding and focused on the key points.

Fan Sui also agreed with this and nodded slightly.

The strength of Chu State is the most powerful. The reason why it is not reflected in foreign wars is not that Chu State has no strength, but because the Chu State has consumed too much. In modern terms, it is "civil war, foreign war layman". They are good at internal fighting, you and I will be full of tricks. However, once you meet a powerful opponent of Qin State, you will be helpless.

"... Although the Qin Dynasty fought against Chu repeatedly in the past, it was because the Qin Dynasty fought for hegemony, but only captured some land and city. It was not about destroying Chu." Wang Jian's analysis became more and more profound, saying: "If the Qin Dynasty wants to unify the world and destroy Chu, it is said that 'How can there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest'. If the Chu State is destroyed, these aristocratic families will definitely not survive. For their own land and city, these aristocratic families will inevitably unite to fight against Qin together."

As we all know, the war of unity launched by Qin Shihuang was very smooth. Even opponents like Qiang Zhao and genius commanders like Li Mu could not do anything to the Qin army. However, Qin State suffered a great defeat in Chu State, and 200,000 Qin troops were killed by Xiang Yan. Why is this so?

It is because Qin Shihuang underestimated the enemy. Qin State fought against Chu State for hundreds of years and won many battles. Qin Shihuang did not take Chu State seriously. It was not until Li Xin was defeated that Qin Shihuang suddenly realized that Chu State should not be underestimated and had to re-activate Wang Jian and gave Wang Jian an army of 600,000.

Facts have proved that Wang Jian's judgment was completely correct. The Chu State dispatched a total of 400,000 troops to resist Qin, and the two armies fought each other for more than a year.

The 400,000 army of Chu is not the entire army of Chu. Chu still has many troops, that is, the soldiers of the aristocratic families, and they are still hidden in their fiefs. A large part of these 400,000 troops also come from major families. They know that Qin is going to destroy Chu. If Chu is destroyed, they will be over. Although they are unwilling, they have to use their soldiers to fight against Qin together.

"Yes! It's so!" King Zhao of Qin gently slapped his high-high, and was very impressed.

"Okay! Cai!" Bai Qi shouted loudly while raising high fives.

"Listen to General Wang's words, Fan Sui suddenly realized that the State of Chu was not destroyed!" Fan Sui was deeply moved.

Everyone was amazed.

"Wang Jian, how many soldiers do you think you need to destroy Chu?" King Zhao of Qin asked.

"Six hundred thousand!" Qin Yiren knew the number of troops Wang Jian sent to destroy Chu, and said in his heart.

"Seven hundred thousand!" Wang Jian reported a shocking number without thinking.

"Seven hundred thousand?" King Zhao of Qin, Bai Qi, Fan Sui, Sima Geng and others exclaimed in unison, their mouths wide open.

Even Qin Yiren was surprised and said to himself: "Wang Jian, why are you making a fuss? Didn't you destroy Chu in history? Why did you become 700,000 more?"

When the thoughts turned, Qin Yiren had already understood and said in his heart: "So that's the case. It's indeed 700,000 yuan! The Chu State is now even stronger than the Chu State during the Qin Shihuang period, because Li Yuan did not mess up the Chu State. Well, it's time to support Li Yuan and let him mess up the Chu State."

Indeed, the Chu State is now more powerful than the Chu State during the Qin Shihuang period. Even if Chunshen Jun was very selfish and divided a lot of land and cities into his own name, it would be much less harmful to the Chu State with Li Yuan. If Qin State sends troops to destroy Chu, it would really require an army of 700,000.

"Why do you need so much?" King Zhao of Qin was shocked: "Even the Battle of Changping, there will be only a 580,000 army."

In the famous Changping War, Qin State sent only 580,000 troops, and it would take seventy to destroy Chu. This was really amazing.

"Your Majesty, the Battle of Changping, Qin originally wanted to defeat Zhao, but did not think about destroying Zhao." Wang Jian analyzed incisively and said: "This is a battle to destroy the country. It not only needs to win the battlefield, but also needs to uproot the power of Chu without leaving any future troubles. If it is just a decisive victory on the battlefield, it does not require 700,000, and there is 400,000. However, if the army is not enough and cannot block the retreat of Chu, once Chu retreats to the Baiyue land, there will be endless troubles."

The Baiyue Land is part of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Zhejiang. It was a bitter and cold land at that time. Moreover, the Baiyue Land belonged to the State of Chu in name. If the Qin army was approaching and the State of Chu could not defeat it, it would likely retreat to the Baiyue Land. If the State of Chu relied on this as a basis to disturb Qin, it would be really unending to suffer.

In history, Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to destroy Chu. This is a shocking number, and even Qin Shihuang was frightened. However, Wang Jian did a good job, uprooting the power of Chu and not allowing Chu to escape to the Baiyue land.

"Yes! Yes!!" King Zhao of Qin suddenly realized and praised loudly.

"That's right. The first priority of the battle to destroy Chu is to prevent Chu from escaping to Baiyue." Fan Sui agreed loudly.

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable." Bai Qi also focused on the key points. He looked at Wang Jian with great appreciation, and said with relief: "Your Majesty, Wang Jian has great talent and is worthy of heavy responsibilities. If the Qin Dynasty has such a good general, why worry about the differences in the world!"

"Haha!" King Zhao of Qin loved to hear these words and laughed loudly.

"My Lord. I mean, Wang Jian will be appointed as General Lantian for a temporary appointment, and leave the military training to him." Bai Qi said to King Zhao of Qin.

"Okay!" King Zhao of Qin immediately decided to hand over the important task of training troops to Wang Jian.

Qin Yiren also planned so, even if Bai Qi did not recommend Wang Jian to train troops, Qin Yiren would also recommend it.

"Wang Jian said he wanted to train 500,000 troops. Now it seems that it is still a little too small." King Zhao of Qin pondered for a moment and said, "After destroying the nations, he still needs to be stationed. This requires a lot of troops. I want to train 300,000 troops for three years. Then, he will train one by one, so that he can not harm the foundation of the country."

If the Qin State trains 500,000 troops at one time, the Qin State will now have to recruit a large-scale project, which will damage the country's capital. If it is carried out in batches, this problem can be solved.

"No." This is the best way to deal with it, and everyone will not object.

"Yiren, do you have anything to say?" After the rest of the military training, King Zhao of Qin was extremely satisfied with the discussion today.

"Yes." Qin Yiren nodded and said, "I think Daqin should take this opportunity to run a school vigorously."

"Operation school?" King Zhao of Qin raised his white eyebrows, quite surprised.

Fan Sui, Bai Qi, Sima Geng and others were puzzled.

"What I mean by running a school is not just a school, but a lot of school schools are needed in Qin State." Qin Yiren knew their questions and said, "Since Shangjun's reform, the Qin Dynasty has become stronger and stronger. Why is this? Because the Qin Dynasty can attract talents and use talents well. Prime Ministers from all generations since Shangjun, such as Zhang Yi, Gan Mao, Rang Hou, and Fan, were all from Shandong, but they can be used for the Qin Dynasty. This means that the Qin Dynasty can use all the people and will not bury talents."

The reason why Qin State was successful was that Qin State could use talents well and would not bury talents. In Qin State, there was no need to worry about your talents, but fear that your talents were not high. If you were in Shandong, you would be taboos and would be buried. Like Fan Sui almost died, this would never happen in Qin State.

"Now, three or four out of ten officials of the Qin Dynasty come from Shandong, and seven or eight out of ten officials come from Shandong. This is certainly a happy event, but also a worrying thing." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and said, "Talents do not grow in the land and do not grow in the land. It is not enough to recruit them alone, and they also need to start cultivating them."

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable." Qin State paid the most attention to talents among the seven major warring countries. It was precisely because Qin State got a lot of talents that the war became stronger and stronger. Qin Yiren said this to everyone and nodded in agreement.

"Yiren, how to cultivate this?" King Zhao of Qin stretched his neck long and looked expectant.

King Zhao of Qin knew the importance of talents best. Without Fan Sui's help, he might still be a vain King of Qin, and the real power of Qin might still be in the hands of his uncle Ranghou.

"Young Master wants to cultivate talents through running schools?" Fan Sui had already thought of it.
