The first thousand three hundred and sixty-five chapters sixteen-character strategy
As soon as Changping Lord Xiong Qi said this, the entire Zhangtai Palace became even more silent.
Eyes fell on Xiong Qi, not hiding his surprise and silence. As a minister of the government, Xiangbang had an official position that was lower than that of one person and higher than that of ten thousand people.
Not to mention... Lord Changping was the heir of the previous king of Chu State. He grew up under the knees of the Queen Mother of Huayang since childhood. Although he had never set foot in Chu State, he was the pillar of Chu's relatives abroad.
Now, with such a status, he actually directly made that conclusion.
Attack Chu first.
Indeed, Xiangbang said that Chu State's governance was unique, but... to the ministers, it was still very surprising.
For a while, the ministers pondered.
Upon hearing this, King Qin Zheng, who was standing up, nodded slightly.
"King!"
"Li Xin believes that although Xiangbang's words are a general plan for the country, Chu State is indeed vast, but its prosperous and fertile lands are all on both sides of the Huai River and to the north of the river."
"Decades ago, the capital of the Chu State was moved several times. No matter how it was moved, it was always on both sides of the Huai River. The Chu State had about half of its civilian population and its military strength was also on both sides of the Huai River."
"Although the rivers, Lingnan, and the South China Sea are vast, they are all wild and densely covered with jungles, and there are many Baiyue ethnic groups. If they gather in one place, they are vulnerable to attack."
"Sure enough, if the army goes south to attack Chu, we only need to go down to the Huai River and the north of the Yangtze River, and the Chu country can be conquered!"
There was silence in the hall, and Li Xin spoke again.
"I think that the speeches of the prime minister, the opinions of the state captains, and the dispute between Qi and Chu have been clearly stated."
"The specific details can only be discussed after we understand the situation clearly."
"It's useless to talk about this matter."
Li Si stood up and bowed his hands.
"The succession of Qi and Chu, please don't discuss it further."
"I have made the decision to attack Qi first. Although it will be easy, Chu Chu first will have a better overall situation."
"As I say, we will attack Chu first, and tomorrow we will meet at court to discuss and decide on the specific strategy for attacking Chu."
King Qin returned to his throne and patrolled the entire main hall of Zhangtai Palace with his bright eyes.
The last word.
…
…
An hour later!
Inside Xingle Palace, next to Hongtai.
"A few months ago, after hearing the intention of Marquis Wuzhen, I thought about it carefully for a long time, and then I realized that I would be the first to attack Chu, and Qi... could be decided by raising my hand."
"The State of Chu is worthy of a great war."
"Wuzhenhou, do you think...among all the generals, who is worthy of destroying the Lord of Chu?"
During the Winter Festival, the garden that was still relatively prosperous a few months ago was already very desolate, not to mention that not far away, there was still a large area of snow that had not been cleared away. King Qin Zheng and Zhou Qing were walking in it, and there were ghosts beside them.
Gu Gai Nie, the doctor ordered Meng Yi to accompany him.
Although he did not attend the meeting just now, Ge Nie can participate in political affairs.
Be the first to destroy Chu!
I had already thought about it a few months ago. Today, at the court meeting, I watched the debate between Li Xin, Xin Sheng, Wang Ben and others. I admired it very much. It was also a fighting opportunity.
It's just that it's different.
No fault.
On the contrary, one can see the bravery and strong fighting spirit exuding from the body of a young man in the army.
"Hahaha."
"Your Majesty, Yu Xuanqing's question put Xuanqing in a bit of a dilemma."
"In terms of fighting with force, in the current army, whether it is Jiuyuan Mengtian, Li Xin, Xin Sheng, Wang Bi, Yang Duanhe, etc., they can all take up this position."
"The difference is to see who has the best strategy. Only in this way can we select good generals."
Facing Brother Wang's gaze, Zhou Qing chuckled.
It's really hard to say this question. There are many people in the army who are suitable. But to decide who it is, it still depends on which of them is more prepared. Tomorrow will be the strategic strategy.
"Haha, as expected, Marquis Wu Zhen led the troops to destroy Chu. Does he have any strategy?"
Qin Wangzheng also laughed.
Then the conversation changed and he said something casually.
"On the line between Qi and Chu, if Chu is destroyed first, Qi will most likely collapse without a fight."
"If Xuanqing leads the army to destroy Chu, he will lead a large army to push across the southern Chu state. He will slowly suppress the power of the Chu state without resorting to strange soldiers or cunning tactics."
Regarding this topic, Zhou Qing did not shy away from anything.
In order to destroy Chu in this battle, the main generals will be selected from Li Xin, Meng Tian, Xin Sheng and others. The hopes of Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son, are not great, but of course they are not without hope.
"Haha, it looks like Wang Jian's military strategy."
"What a pity, Wang Jian is old now."
Qin Wangzheng nodded and smiled without saying much.
Fighting steadily and steadily can be regarded as Wang Jiandong's general strategy for destroying the country. There are few outlandish plans. He directly pushed the army over and supplemented it with various methods to achieve the current military strategy.
What Wang brother said seems to be similar to Wang Jian's use of troops.
"Mr. Gai Nie, if we attack Chu next year, I am afraid that I will go to Qi again."
When the conversation changed, Qin Wangzheng's eyes fell on Ge Nie beside him.
Qi and Chu, no matter what, can show no signs of supporting each other.
There were already Dunruo and Yao Jia in Qi State, and with Gai Nie going there, I would feel more at ease.
"You must live up to your Majesty's expectations."
Gai Nie raised his sword and saluted.
******
"Sir, after the Chu is destroyed, all the Xia will be unified."
After two people, Nongyu and Nongyu, took off the court uniforms from the adults one by one, the House of Discourse was a little emotional when they heard this.
I recall that when I followed you, the kingdoms of Shandong still existed, but now, in the blink of an eye, only Qi and Chu are left among the six kingdoms of Shandong, and next year they will attack Chu.
Chu State was destroyed.
The state of Qi is vulnerable.
All the Xia are naturally unified.
"In the past three dynasties, the princes have risen together, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has also been divided and ruled by princes. Most of the counties and counties in Great Qin have been integrated into one, unifying all Xia, which is unprecedented in ancient times. Young Master, such a country is the only one in the history."
Hearing what sister Xueer said, Nongyu couldn't help but smile.
It is very good to unite all the Xia. Otherwise, the princes will be divided and rule each other, and the disputes between them will continue, and the injured will be the soldiers and the people. It would be much better if they are united.
"The one and only Qianqiu!"
"almost."
"The news should have spread from Xianyang by now."
"Next year, Chu State should also be ready."
Zhou Qing looked at Nong Yu with admiration.
This is a good word.
He put down his cumbersome court clothes and put on a light long gown, walking casually in the side hall. It was already several hours before the end of the court meeting. The news of Qin's attack on Chu next year should be on its way to everywhere.
at the same time.
On the other side, in Xianyang Palace, after Shen Shi, Qin Wangzheng ordered his lieutenant, Meng Yi, to summon Li Xin into the palace.
"Pursuing the power of the remnant Zhao, marching into western Liaoning, the death of Yan Dan, Zir's great achievement."
"But now I am summoning you, but I want to hear your strategy for attacking Chu?"
Several people were walking casually on the field in front of Xingle Palace. During the Winter Festival, the cool breeze at night was really not that good, but with high walls around it, it was much better.
Qin Wangzheng looked at Li Xin, who was wearing heavy armor, and smiled.
"Um?"
On the side, Meng Yi was suspicious, and Guigu Genie, who was waiting for him, also glanced at Li Xin.
When it came to the strategy of conquering Chu, why didn't the king summon his father Meng Wu and his general Wang Jian, or even the state captain, but instead summoned Li Xin first?
Even though the king has always admired Li Xin very much, this move... Meng Yi felt something was wrong. He thought it was something else, but he never thought it was like this.
Wei Wei was confused and didn't say much.
"This..., return to the king!"
"Li Xin's strategy for destroying Chu only has sixteen words!"
"The main force goes deep, isolates the Jianghuai River, conquers the Huaihe River, and Jiangbei can be destroyed!"
Heard this.
In an instant, Li Xin looked overjoyed, but he didn't understand what the king meant.
Immediately, after a little thought, he came up with a rough strategy. Although it was not complete, there were still several months to come, which would be enough to present this strategy perfectly.
In due time, I will definitely be able to lead the army to destroy Chu.
Attack and destroy the country.
"The main force goes deep, isolates the Jianghuai River, conquers the Huaihe River, and Jiangbei can be destroyed!"
"Oh, with such a strategy, how many troops are there?"
When the King of Qin heard this, he was also very happy.
"Two hundred thousand!"
Li Xin said leisurely.
"How to advance?"
Qin Wangzheng was slightly curious.
Although there is no map here, I believe that in Li Xin's mind, the map of Chu State is extremely clear.
"The strategy mentioned by Li Xin requires not only a main force but also two partial divisions. One goes south from Dang County and goes straight to Huainan, isolating the important officials of the Chu royal family from going to Jiangdong, and then goes south to Lingnan along the old land of Wuyue."
"The other two are to transfer naval troops from Bashu to isolate the royal family of the Chu Kingdom and go to the hometown of Dongting. From there, go through the Yuanshui River and penetrate deep into Lingnan. Just occupy the land of Yiling and you will be successful."
"Move on three sides, combine the main force of our army, go straight to Huai River and Shouchun, attack and destroy the Chu State, so... 200,000 soldiers, plus the partial troops, more than 200,000!"
Li Xin moved one hand in the air in front of him.
A little to the right and swipe down.
A little to the left, draw a circle.
Then with a wave of his hand, they gathered in one place.
"Hahaha, Li Xin is brave."
Qin Wangzheng praised.
"Meng Yi, what do you think?"
Youjue has been talking about himself and Li Xin from the beginning to now. Ge Nie and Meng Yi on the side were speechless and immediately looked at the two of them.
"Your Majesty."
"I think General Li Xin's strategy is the best."
Listening to General Li Xin's analysis of the situation and the map of Chu State he had memorized, Meng Yi smiled and admired him.
"Where's Mr. Gainey?"
Qin Wangzheng nodded and his eyes fell on Gai Nie.
"This...Gai Nie is not good at military affairs. General Li Xin's strategy is excellent, but...the key to destroying Chu seems to be in the Huaihe River and the north of the Yangtze River, in the south of the Yangtze River, Lingnan, and the South China Sea. There is no plot."
Gai Nie hesitated a little, bowed his hands, glanced at Li Xin, and then responded.
Li Xin's strategy was quite different from that of Marquis Wu Zhen and Guo Wei, but the strategy was still good.
Even if the Chu State cannot be completely destroyed if it falls in one battle, then the Chu State will not have much resistance.
"King!"
"Most of the Chu State's power is in the Huai River, and part is in the Jiang River. If the Chu State's power in both places is attacked, the Chu State will be destroyed."
"Perhaps there are also Chu people fleeing in Jiangnan, Lingnan, and Nanhai, but... we only need to send elite mountain soldiers to hunt them down. It would be inappropriate to spend too much force."
When Li Xin heard this, he smiled slightly and said something again.
"The general's words are also true. After all, Gai Nie is not good at military affairs. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Gai Nie held his sword and saluted, calmly responding.
When King Qin heard this, he looked at Mr. Gai Nie and thought for a moment. It would be impossible for Mr. Gai Nie to be ignorant of military matters. He might not be a great military strategist, but what Gui Gu is good at is decision-making.
Mr. Gai Nie is like this. Could it be that he feels that Li Xin's strategy is very flawed?
Perhaps, Li Xin's policy needs to be discussed by the ministers during the political discussion tomorrow, but... I admire Li Xin's policy very much.
