The first thousand one hundred and fortieth chapters
After hearing what Li Si said, the officials nodded. They didn't know much about such a small matter as Honggou Water Conservancy, let alone the water conservancy matter of Wei State.
But this does not prevent them from understanding what Li Si means.
That is, the key to flooding Daliang City is the gap, not the current situation where Wang Ben and Chen Bing are in the area north of the river, and they really cut a big gap in the river, then it is the water of the torrent.
"So, if water really attacks Daliang City, can we still take the opportunity to repair Honggou Water Conservancy?"
Above the hall, a smile bloomed on Qin Wangzheng's face as he listened quietly.
"But so."
"In any case, as long as we adopt the method of water attack, we will have to repair the gap to clear the siltation. If the Datian Order is here, I am afraid he will be very happy."
Li Si bowed.
"Indeed, it seems that the battle losses can be repaired."
Wei Liaozi was previously worried that it would consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but now... thinking about it carefully, it may cost some, but compared with the benefits of bridging the gap.
The trade-offs are obvious.
"Now it's just a talk."
Tingwei Wang Wan raised his eyebrows and shook his head. He still did not recommend attacking Daliang City by water. Regardless of whether it would be beneficial in the future, it was a flood after all. If it was a flood, considerable disasters would inevitably occur.
"What do you think, Lord Changping?"
Since entering the hall, Xiangbang has been silent. However, as the leader of a hundred officials, he should have something to say. His eyes turned and fell on Xiong Qi.
"Your Majesty."
"At the end of the Jin Dynasty, during the naval battle and the Su Dynasty, the words of Xinling Lord Wei Wuji were heard by all ministers. Now that Wang Ben can find such records in the classics, he has a good heart."
"I heard what I just said, and the captain and the prime minister answered each other, which proved that it is feasible to attack the beam with water, and the damage caused by the flood can be repaired by cleaning up the siltation. Therefore, I agree with this strategy."
Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, stood up and came out of the queue, walked to the palace, bowed with a smile, and with a special smile on his handsome face, he turned slightly sideways and looked at the Imperial Lieutenant Wei Liaozi and the Prime Minister Li Si.
In recent years, the responsibilities of the entire government have been divided up quite a lot by Prime Minister Li Si. This is undoubtedly a great warning from the king to himself, and it is also a dangerous message.
In the Xianyang harem, the Empress Dowager Huayang died, and Mrs. Chu died. Her help in the harem was gone. Outside the Xianyang palace, people from hundreds of families kept looking for her.
All these factors made Xiong Qi confused.
The current situation in the Xia is actually very obvious. The Qin State is the only strong and dominant state, while among the Shandong states, Han and Zhao have fallen successively, leaving only the remaining four major vassal states.
But... the generals Wang Jian and Meng Tian are leading the troops to attack the Yan Kingdom, and good news will come soon.
Former general Wang Ben is leading troops to attack Wei State. What we are discussing today is military strategy.
If Yan and Wei did not exist, Qin occupied the Central Plains, and its national power increased by more than ten times, Qi had been on good terms with Qin for decades and would not openly take action.
Then, among the Xia, Qin had only one opponent, and that was Chu.
In the Kingdom of Chu, the King of Chu was in the process of extorting favors and weakening the power of the old clan. The great commander Xiang Yan was retraining his army to prepare for future use, perhaps for a battle.
But... do I really have to make a choice?
Of course, no matter what the choice is, we should express our stance today.
When it comes to attacking Daliang City by water, the king's intention is very clear, that is, if there is a water attack, it must be done by water.
"However, what Tingwei just said involves the fundamental morality of destroying the country, and I have no choice but to say it."
After saying this, Tingwei Wang Wan looked at Changping Lord Xiong Qi solemnly, and the officials also looked at him.
"The king just asked us to take a look at Wang Ben's documents. In fact, they are already listed."
"During the Xia Dynasty, the Shandong states called Da Qin the Qin of tigers and wolves. However, since Da Qin is today, it doesn't matter what the name of the tiger and wolf is. In the Xia Dynasty, only the country of tigers and wolves can dominate."
"In the Xia Dynasty, it is impossible to live without tigers and wolves, and it is impossible to live without tigers and wolves everywhere. Although Wang Ben's theory is not elegant, the truth still exists, but it reminds me of the theory of the Dharma Sage of the past."
"To practice great benevolence in the Xia, there must be unkindness that is unavoidable. If you want there to be no tigers and wolves everywhere in the Xia, you must first have tigers and wolves in the Xia, first have strong tigers and wolves, and then there will be no tigers and wolves. This is the theory."
"If you attack Daliang City with water, the Wei Kingdom will be on the verge of destruction, the Xia will not be able to unify, and the war will not be stopped. In the short term, there will be only benevolence and righteousness. In the long run, where is the benevolence and righteousness?"
"Therefore, I believe that the battle of Daliang should not be carried out by clichés of benevolence and morality, which would drag on the whole world and make it difficult to predict the changes in the Xia Dynasty."
Xiong Qiyu has many theories, explaining the shortcomings of Tingwei Wang Wan's benevolence and righteousness.
Indeed, flooding Daliang City lacks some benevolence and justice.
But in the long run, what leads to greater benevolence and righteousness is, which of the two is more important.
"The most virtuous person is not virtuous, and the most benevolent person is not benevolent. The words of a prime minister are the same as those of a businessman."
The King of Qin was overjoyed.
I already liked the teachings of Dharma sage Shang Jun, but now I heard the words of Prime Minister Chang Ping Jun, and it was confirmed that it was so unkind. It was really unkind.
Compared with the flood disaster in Daliang City, and compared with the situation in the entire Xia Dynasty, which one is more serious?
After a few breaths, there was no more unnecessary discussion in the entire hall, and Tingwei Wang Wan also stopped talking. This was how things were discussed in the Qin Ting.
The minority obeys the majority, and as expected, only the last person in the minority is left, so there is no need to continue the debate, and the matter will eventually be resolved.
As expected, if we continue to argue, I'm afraid we won't succeed in anything.
"This matter is of great importance. Regardless of whether Wang Ben finally uses water to attack Daliang City, the bridge must be blocked to declare the principles of benevolence and etiquette in the Qin Dynasty."
"Xiangbang, the government has sent an order to Nanjun, and summoned Datian Ling to go to Wang Ben's army first. After the Honggou incident is over, he will return to Nanjun."
Today's discussion made Qin Wangzheng slightly change his impression of Xiong Qi, so he gave the order directly.
"Here."
Xiong Qi bowed and responded.
The ministers looked at each other and nodded.
******
"Those people are targeting us."
After resting for a whole night, when it was just dawn, a group of six people set off from the canyon and mountain stream, and according to the map, they were preparing to return to Jicheng, Yan State, in preparation for the next thing.
On the jungle beside me, black and white figures kept passing by, checking the situation around me. After half a stick of incense, a piece of white feathers fell from the air, carrying a message about the side I was on.
Within twenty miles to the south, many people were already approaching the road they were taking. I don't know what happened to Mo Ya, and I think it's the same. Last night, many people were captured and killed.
Judging from their clothes and their cultivation methods, they are disciples of peasant families.
"They are from the Nong family and the Mo family!"
At that time, Bai Feng had just returned. Deep in the jungle to the north of the road, a black stream of light swooped down, stood on a piece of green in the air, and spoke.
"They want to kill us?"
A trace of deep thought appeared on Bai Feng's delicate face.
To be able to pursue it so relentlessly, there is only one goal.
Otherwise, they wouldn't act like this.
"What do you think?"
Mo Ya looked at Bai Feng with a smile on his face that looked increasingly evil.
"You old man from the farm, will Lu Zhenlang from the Mo family take action?"
The six of them here are all cultivating gods, not to mention Yan Lingji and Xue Ji, both of whom are at the highest level of god transformation.
Otherwise, what's the use?
"I can't tell!"
Mo Ya only said this. Since he decided to kill them, he must use all his strength or even his full strength. Otherwise... if the master is angry, they will not be able to get a favor.
"It seems that the farmers and the Mohists are preparing to get rid of us outside the Liaodong Great Wall."
The sea blue dress covers the body, the parrot sings and the horse rides forward, the conversation between Mo Ya and Bai Feng is not shy, the spiritual sense is integrated with the heaven and the earth, and they can hear it very clearly.
There was a slight frown on her beautiful face.
They haven't found anything about them yet, but they have found them first.
"It doesn't matter."
"My senior brother also has a very strong sealing power in this sword of mine. Coupled with the eagle sword in Yan Lingji's hand, it is comparable to the two Xuan Guan warriors. Even if the old farmer and the Mo family Lu Zhenlang take action, there is no way they can stop us.
"
Xiaomeng didn't have any special feeling.
He took a look at the sword in his hand. Before leaving, his senior brother once said that holding a sword in all the Xia was enough to intimidate hundreds of families. His words would be true.
There is also the sword in Yan Lingji's hand, and Xue Ji, whose cultivation has reached the level of Xuan Guan, not to mention the ability of the gods to mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, which is not comparable to that of ordinary innate warriors.
People from the peasant family have seen it themselves, but even so, the people from the Mo family have nothing to fear.
"After all, this is not the Qin State. As expected, things have changed. We still have to avoid the war as much as possible and return to Liaodong. That place belongs to the land of the Xia."
"The reason why they took action here is because this is where the barbarians live."
The spirit merges with the world and spreads around, but there is a trace of a different kind of luck. A crystal clear light appears on the surface of the body, trying to isolate the power of ice as much as possible, otherwise the horses under him will not be able to walk.
Xue Ji looked around. Maybe they were not afraid, but there was no need to tangle with them here.
In the future... there will be plenty of opportunities to make good use of them.
