During the reign of King Zhaoxiang, he joined the army and served in the army. Later, he gained numerous military exploits and was promoted continuously. He even sat down and stayed for a while as Lord Bai Qi of Wu'an.
After the Battle of Handan, the Qin army did not go out and turned to defense. Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei used Meng Ao and Huan Jie, Wang Jian and others, especially the young Wang Jian.
This person... is very good.
Compared with Lord Wu'an back then, his military strategy and offensive capabilities may be somewhat lacking, but... Lord Wu'an is still more powerful in his power and arrogance. As expected, Lord Wu'an back then had a strategy like Wang Jian's.
It won't end like that.
However... in any case, over the past few decades, the original pillar of the Qin State and the famous general of the Qin State had turned gray, his face had grown old, and his voice was somewhat weak.
Qin Wangzheng was filled with emotion as he watched the palace attendants send him a bottle of warm Lao Qin wine as a gift.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Jian immediately stood up from behind the case, struggled to walk to the palace, and bowed deeply to the king above him.
"There is no need to be like this. The general is very polite."
"But I didn't think carefully. The old general is so old. Drinking the wine just now may be harmful to the body. This cup is the warm Lao Qin wine."
The political trainer of King Qin waved his hands, whispered and smiled slowly.
"My spleen and stomach are damaged, so I am getting this kind of drink that warms the old Qin people. It is exactly what I want. How can I not thank the king for his kindness?"
Wang Jian bowed deeply again. He was wearing heavy black armor, and his movements were slightly difficult. His words could not help but make some laughter rise in Zhangtai Palace.
"well."
The generals were lined up, and Wang Ben, who was already a young man, looked at this and couldn't help but feel a little ugly.
The temple customs of the Qin State were not as thoughtful and detailed as those of the Shandong states, and seemed a bit rougher. It was not uncommon for kings and ministers to drink with each other and eat together.
If some ordinary military generals were so kind to the king, they might do this. However, my father was a general who had been the king of Qin for several generations. How could he do this?
With his father's achievements, he is even more senior. In the Qin court, except for the Marquis of Wu Zhen, his father's title is the highest. It is true, and he has such a attitude.
It's actually...a bit funny, and as a human being, it's quite uncomfortable.
Zhou Qing was drinking behind the scenes, minding his own business. Looking at everything in front of him, he couldn't help but smile. At this moment, Wang Jian...could he just want to succeed and retire?
As a concubine, as a general, in Zhangtai Palace, it is indeed good to do this.
Wang Jian is indeed better than Lord Wu An back then.
Immediately, as General Wang Jian returned to his seat after drinking, the entire Zhangtai Palace fell into the same silence as before.
"King!"
"Li Xin has something to say."
Suddenly, a silver-armored general stepped out to investigate.
"Oh, tell me."
King Qin Zhengli was at the top. Hearing this, his plan became clear and he looked at Li Xin with great joy.
"Qi and Chu are both great countries."
"Although they are both big countries, they are different. The Chu State has a vast territory and a large population, while the Qi State has a small territory and a small population."
"In terms of the combat power of the soldiers, the Chu State has been engaged in wars for many years, and the veteran general Xiang Yan is the Shangzhu State. He has been training troops in recent years and is considered brave. However, the Qi State has not had a war in nearly forty years."
"In addition, the Qi State has been prosperous and peaceful for many years, and its people are too timid to fight. Therefore, the theory of Qi and Chu is already clear."
As a man who served as a guard in Xianyang Palace, he was familiar with the art of war, and he was brave and good at fighting. Over the past few years... he went eastward with the army and made continuous achievements, but... after all, there was one less war to prove himself.
General Wang Jian and Major General Wang Bi, father and son, destroyed the four kingdoms.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, it has been rare and numerous.
It is absolutely impossible for your Majesty to use them, so... If we don't fight now, and wait until later, we only need to attack and destroy any one of the two countries of Qi and Chu, and then we will fall in glory.
He bowed deeply in the palace and said what he said.
"Haha, General Li Xin clearly said who comes first and who comes last?"
Xin Sheng on the side was helpless and talked for a long time, but the final conclusion had not yet come out.
"Everything is difficult and easy. Since coming out of the East, it has been easy first and then difficult. It is even more so now."
"Li Xin dares to love my king and go to Qi first!"
Silver-armored General Li Xin couldn't help but smile and saluted again.
After that, the case that belongs to him is just a political discussion at the moment, not a final decision.
After Li Xin, no one said a word in the palace for a while.
Qin Wangzheng walked forward, his eyes fell on the civil and military ministers, and finally on the generals. Wang Ben, who was watching beside Li Xin, frowned and said nothing, seeming to be thinking a little.
Smile slightly.
"The young general is concentrating on planning right now, should he be rewarded?"
"What do you think Li Xin said?"
Call him by name directly.
"King!"
"Wang Ben generally agrees with General Li Xin's theory. However, it would be slightly inappropriate to destroy the country first when it is easy and then when it is difficult."
Wang Ben quickly stood up, stood behind the case, and bowed his hands.
"Um?"
"General Wang Ben thinks it's inappropriate?"
Li Xin raised his eyebrows on the side.
"No."
"Since the east came out to destroy the country, starting from South Korea, it was easy first and then difficult. But then the three countries of Zhao, Wei, and Yan, how difficult is it? Zhao is the most difficult, Yan is the second, and Wei is the easiest."
"But the army of Qin attacked Zhao first, followed by Wei and Yan. If we go by the theory of difficulty and difficulty, Wei should be attacked first. Is this true? The current situation in the Xia is indescribable?"
Wang Ben looked at Li Xin with a smile, then looked at the superior king, and said that he could not make the final decision as to what he was thinking, but he could still make the decision when it came to military matters.
"in this way?"
"General Wang Ben's intention is to attack Chu first?"
Li Xin's brows were still frowning.
"Those who attack difficulties first and take easy steps may not be in great danger. In fact, if only one of the countries is left, then the country... may surrender without a fight."
Wang Ben hesitated to get familiar with it, and then smiled slightly at Li Xin.
"If we attack the enemy first, wouldn't we attack Chu?"
"Wouldn't it be better to speak briefly?"
This time, before Li Xin could say anything, Xin Sheng beside him said something again.
"Hahaha!"
"..."
Unconsciously, there was a little smile and a little chaotic sound in the hall.
"Hahaha, Li Xin has something to say, Wang Ben has something to say."
"The two generals seem to be unwilling to discuss things first. So, Meng Tian, what do you think?"
Qin Wangzheng also smiled. He did not judge Li Xin and Wang Ben's argument. He turned his eyes away from Meng Wu and Wang Jian and landed on Meng Tian.
"King!"
"Meng Tian's views are slightly similar to General Wang Ben's."
"Among the countries in Shandong, Da Qin destroyed four of them. If they attack and destroy the powerful Chu first, it is indeed possible for Qi to surrender without a fight. Even if they resist, it will not be of much use."
"However, there is a slight difference between Qi and Chu. If you take the lead in attacking Chu, you need to be careful of Qi's secret aid to Chu. I vaguely remember that when the five kingdoms attacked Qi, although Qi's Tiandan resisted the Yan army for six years."
"Only relying on the two cities of Jimo can achieve great success in the future. However, the support from Chu State has not been cut off. This is Chu State's great kindness to Qi State. Therefore, if Qin State attacks Chu, Qi State will definitely come to rescue."
"Although Qi is weak, its national strength cannot be underestimated."
Meng Tian, wearing heavy armor, stood up from behind the case, raised his hands and said.
"General Meng Tian wants us to take the lead in attacking Qi!"
"If you attack Chu first, Qi will be able to secretly rescue you. If you attack Qi first, Chu will be unable to rescue you. For decades, all the countries have joined forces to attack Qin."
"Only the State of Qi stayed out of the matter. When the State of Chu Chun applied for the throne, it even wanted to sever diplomatic relations with the State of Qi. The people of Chu had looked down upon Qi's timidity for a long time."
"Be the first to attack Qi, and Chu will not come to the rescue. After attacking Qi in one fell swoop, only Southern Chu will be left among the Xia. At that time... we will rectify all the forces and destroy Chu in one fell swoop."
Hearing Mengtian's words, Li Xin stood up again and spoke loudly.
"Xin Sheng agrees with General Li Xin's remarks."
Xin Sheng stood up and nodded.
"The general also agrees."
Feng Jie stood up and nodded.
"..."
Suddenly, there were many people who agreed, and the entire Zhangtai Palace once again became a little lively.
"You two have made a decision, how can I decide?"
"Xiangbang!"
"Guowei!"
"What do you think?"
Qin Wangzheng stopped at the top, with a slight smile on his face, glanced at Li Xin and others, and then his eyes fell on Xiong Qi and Wei Liaozi.
The central committee was making plans. Without these two people, it would not be considered a political discussion. As soon as the words came out, the eyes in the palace fell on the two of them. I wonder what the Prime Minister and the Guowei said?
In any case, once the two of them talk, maybe the final result will come out?
Attack Chu first?
Attack them all first?
"King!"
"The old minister thinks that it is easier to make a decision by using troops in sequence."
"Whether it is difficult first and then easy, or easy first and then difficult, it all depends on the current situation. At present, the general situation is that both Qi and Chu are not weak in national strength. The difference is that Qi does not have many diplomatic relations with the Shandong countries and has many wars.
If you don't show it, your military strength will naturally be weak."
"However, the Chu State has been experiencing frequent wars for decades. After the Zhao State, the Chu State has a strong military. Xiang Yan led his army to the Zhu State and even diverted the river for a long time."
"The strength of Chu's army is stronger than that of Qi. Sure enough, our great Qin can destroy Chu in one battle. Then all the Xia will be in peace, while Qi will be in a corner of peace. The army is weak and there is nothing to fear."
"Attack Chu first, maybe we can fight with all the Xia Ding."
"Attack Qi first, then fight Zhu Xia Ding in two battles!"
Wei Liaozi stood up from behind the case, bowed deeply to Qin Wangzheng who was standing above him, and then gently stroked his gray beard with one hand, and his old voice came out, which had a unique charm.
The words fall.
There was silence again in Zhangtai Palace.
Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and then held the cup and drank the wine again.
After hearing Wei Liaozi's words, the civil servants and generals on the left and right didn't say much. Guo Wei had already explained the difficulties and difficulties, and then it was up to the Prime Minister to decide.
Although Guowei didn't make any conclusion, his words seemed to indicate that he was inclined to attack Chu.
Ruoran Xiangbang also agreed to attack Chu.
Then..., Your Majesty, you can decide.
"The state captain's advice is to attack Chu first."
"I thought... it should be like this."
"I have heard that in the debate between Marquis Wu Zhen and the succession of Qi and Chu, there is not only a debate about difficulty, but also a debate about temples and emotions."
"Qin unified all Xia and aimed to make all Xia unified and rule, but the state of Chu was in trouble with half of all Xia."
"The Huai River, Jiang River, Lingnan, and the South China Sea..., attack Chu first, except that Qi may surrender without a fight, and we can continue to regulate the Central Plains while attacking Chu."
"As expected, the day when Chu is destroyed will be the time when all the Xia will be united and settled."
"Therefore..., I think it is better to attack Chu first!"
