Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for Li Xin to continue to lead the army to destroy Chu, but when Marquis Wu Zhen did what he did, it was obvious that he preferred Li Xin.
Then...something else might happen.
"After all...the power to destroy Chu!"
There is no doubt that the Qin State can destroy Chu, and Dun is weak. The Chu State has enough power to resist, but the Qin State has enough power to defeat all obstacles.
No fight will be won!
Da Qin can continue the second battle!
How many times can the Chu State... last?
General Li Xin may continue to lead the army, but... that has little to do with him. There should be something planned within the center.
"Wuzhenhou was born in the Taoist Tiansect."
"Yin and Yang are of one mind, and heaven and earth are one. General Li Xin has indeed succeeded in destroying the country, so... the price paid will only be greater."
Ganie didn't think much about it.
Marquis Wu Zhen has always been prudent in dealing with matters, and his methods will not dissatisfy the other generals who are attacking Chu.
"General Wang Ben's partial division has already moved westward from Lanling."
"Sure enough, if two partial armies are gathered together, then... in the land of Pingyu, the assembled army will be nearly 400,000."
"In terms of military strength, we can compete with the Chu army."
The battlefield is long and the number of troops is not the way to win. However, with similar troops, there are always many more feasible strategies. With less and more, it will not be obvious in the end.
"Lanling City!"
Gai Nie pushed the cup of tea brewed in front of him and smiled slightly when he heard the name of this familiar place, based on the information he got.
That person is still there.
And the business is pretty good.
That's it...the situation in Lanling City is getting more and more complicated.
"Judging from the news coming from Luowang, Lanling City should also be rectified."
"Farmers, Mohists, and Confucians are a bit too presumptuous. Do you really think that when the Qin Dynasty came to the east, the military would not be as strong as it was decades ago?"
He took the tea cup with both hands and frowned when he heard Mr. Gai Nie mentioned Lanling City.
That city should have been renovated long ago.
It's a pity... those people from hundreds of families are very smart. They have always abided by Qin's law and did nothing illegal. Qin's law... struck later.
No way!
Unless those people take action.
"Facing Qin's garrison, even if those people make any movement, it won't be too big."
Gai Nie shook his head. People from hundreds of families were indeed active in Lanling City. They were very smart and did not let the Qin army target them in order to renovate the city.
They should be waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity to be supported by powerful outside forces.
Otherwise, it is not enough to explain their movements.
"After all, it's Baijia's choice."
"I once heard the words of Marquis Wu Zhen, if you obey nature and obey people, everything will be accomplished. The Qin State has great power, and farmers, Mohists, etc. insist on doing so."
"Bringing it upon yourself."
As a member of a famous family.
Dunruo had long understood the general trend of the Xia Dynasty and found a place for the development of famous families. But when he looked at the other hundreds of families, he was really puzzled, no... not puzzled, but a pity.
"Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates the law with force!"
"Han Fei's words are not false. Both chivalrous and Confucian scholars are like this. There may be yin and yang. After all, in the eyes of the king, they are unstable existences."
"In the land of the Three Jins, the land of Yan and Zhao, the ban on martial arts has begun to appear, and it is difficult for the farmers and the Mohists to travel. When the Qin Dynasty is over, there are only two roads waiting for them."
Gai Nie took a sip of tea. This tea was grown on a small island in the south of Qi State. After brewing, the tea was green and fragrant, and was very beautiful.
After tasting it, the taste is also long and has a hint of coolness from the sea. It is just right for drinking in summer.
The matter of Yu Baijia existed more than ten years ago, but it is just more obvious now. I remember the Battle of the Wild Kings at the beginning of the Qin Dynasty.
Hundreds of families plotted against the Qin Dynasty and wanted to kill the king, which became an irreconcilable conflict between them and the king... Han Fei's theory, there is only one winner.
"Mr. Gainey."
"In the past few years, through the original channels of famous people in Qilu, I have learned a few secrets."
"Sir, do you know the theory of feudal states?"
He nodded weakly, then... looked around, turned away from the waiter, came slightly closer, and mentioned another topic to Mr. Ge Nie in front of him.
Feudal state!
It was Gongsun Linglong, the direct grandson of the late master Gongsun Longzi, who came from the Confucian Xiaoshengxian Village. Some Confucians were discussing the theory of feudal states.
There are many participants and it is quite secretive.
"Feudal state?"
"The method of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Gai Nie Ying's brows raised in anger, this word is not unfamiliar. The Zhou Dynasty was founded eight hundred years ago. At the beginning of the founding of the country, various meritorious officials were enfeoffed and their heirs were distributed in the land of Xia.
Guard various places and protect the royal family.
This idea is good.
However, one cannot spy into the human heart. When each princely state was established, those people were very grateful and loyal, and their descendants are unknown.
Immediately, the war between the princes continued continuously.
Until today.
It's just..., why did Mr. Dunruo bring up this topic? What the Qin Dynasty is doing now is a system of prefectures and counties, a feudal state... Although there are remnants, it seems that it is not of great use.
"In the past, Wen Xinhou praised this way in the "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" written by Wen Xinhou. The "Shen Shi Pian" said: The land in the world is thousands of miles away, and it is called a country, so it is governed by the best."
"A country cannot be big. It is not as big as a small one, and its land is not as big as it is small. The feudalism is not based on private merit, so it is powerful, so it is powerful, and it is righteous."
"The feudal people are blessed with long blessings and famous names... The king's feudal system is that the closer you are, the bigger you are, and the closer you are, the smaller is smaller. Therefore, there are princes ten miles away on the sea... many have established feudal states, so they use their power."
Dunwei said softly.
This phrase can even be recited.
"..."
"Baijia...premeditated this?"
Gai Nie listened quietly and muttered for more than ten breaths. Then his expression suddenly changed slightly and he looked at Dunrui. If he guessed correctly, this was what Dunrui meant.
"There are also important people within the center who will inherit Wen Xinhou's policy."
"It's only heard of Dunwei, but the specific reason is unknown."
He paused weakly and nodded slowly. The theory of feudal states and the theory of unified counties and counties represent two completely different governance styles. For decades, the king's intention has not been clear.
If prefectures and counties were to be integrated into one, then the Wei State should have ceased to exist long ago, and new prefectures and counties should have been established in all the three Jin, Yan and Zhao lands.
If it was meant to be a feudal state, no new states were added.
"Within the center?"
Genie thought for a moment and thought of someone.
"And there are many young masters under the king's knees."
Another word after a pause.
Before, I didn't pay much attention to it, but... after thinking about it carefully, I feel that the possibility is really not small, at least the young masters will be a considerable help.
Compared with the integration of counties and counties, the feudal state is more in line with the hearts of the princes.
"What do you want, sir?"
Suddenly, Gai Nie smiled and looked at Dun Rui.
"Feudal state!"
“The county is one!”
"Each one has his or her own strengths, which is unknown. What do you think, sir?"
Dunwei shook his head. Both systems had their advantages and disadvantages. The chaos of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not entirely a feudal state. The fall of the Wei State also affected the counties and counties as a whole.
"The decision between the two lies with the king!"
"There will be answers in the future."
Gai Nie also shook his head. This topic...if they can discuss it and make decisions and preferences, there is no need.
"Counting the time, among the princes under the king's knees, Mr. Fusu has also reached adulthood."
"I wonder how he will decide?"
Although the king has not appointed a crown prince,...among all the princes, Mr. Fusu is currently the eldest. He is the best candidate for the crown prince due to his emotions and reasons.
Unless Mrs. Li becomes the queen in the future, she will be more qualified than Mr. Fusu because her son is taller. But according to rumors... Mrs. Li rejected the position of queen.
This is... amazing.
Although Mrs. Li's current favor, status and glory are not inferior to those of the Queen, she is not the Queen after all. From a legal perspective, Mr. Fusu is still the most qualified.
Sure enough, when it comes to the integration of feudal states and counties, Mr. Fusu, as the eldest son, will be a force.
"I haven't seen Mr. Fusu in Xianyang Palace for several years."
Gai Nie responded.
A few years ago, when Confucian Fu Nian entered the Qin Dynasty, Prince Fusu left the palace and entered the Central Academy, and then entered the Huguo Academy.
Now... it should be the third year. According to the practice of the National Protectorate Academy, there should be a high possibility of a war against Chu at this moment.
"Master Fusu, he is a kind-hearted man."
After a soft whisper, I had an impression of Mr. Fusu from the first time I saw him in Xianyang Palace a few years ago. However, in recent years... I have not seen Mr. Fusu.
******
"All three of you, please tell me."
"Next...how will the Chu army respond?"
Following the order of Marquis Wu Zhen, Ye Teng, the governor of Nanyang County, led a mixed force of 50,000 infantry, navy and cavalry troops to attack Chu. They passed through Yunmeng Daze in the east, went north to Chu land, and merged into Pingyu.
Passing through Yunmeng Daze, the Chu army retreated and did not dare to fight with the Qin army.
As night fell, Ye Teng was stationed in the not-so-large shogunate's military tent. Wearing black light armor, he stood in front of a sand table. It was the terrain of Yunmeng Daze and Chu Land drawn by Nanjun.
The Army Sima stood aside and his eyes fell on the three young people in front of the sand table. They were all young, the oldest was only twenty years old.
The three of them... were also dressed in light black light armor, and were dressed like ordinary Qin soldiers, wearing linen robes and their hair tied into a bun.
It's just that the aura spread around the three men is different from that of ordinary soldiers. They stand as quietly as pine trees and have postures like dragons. In addition, they have a hint of the tranquil charm of Confucian scholars.
These are the students from the Strategic Academy of the National Defense Academy this year. After this year, they can graduate and join the army.
Now they can be regarded as accompanying the army to observe the battlefield in person, confirming what they have learned, and feel that they are diligent. There are not many people in the National Defense Academy and the Strategy Hall.
There are three of us here, which should be quite a few.
I remember that before Wu Zhenhou left, he told me to teach these three people a lesson. I dare not forget it.
Hearing what General Ye Teng said, the three young men couldn't help but look at each other.
"General Ye, Lin Hou, please say something first."
"Otherwise, if Qiao Song says something, I'm afraid we will have nothing to say."
Immediately, the slightly stronger one among the three people walked out, bowed his hands and smiled.
"Say whatever you want without worrying too much."
"Even a famous general who has fought hundreds of battles will sometimes make mistakes, let alone you."
Ye Teng also smiled.
Among the three, it is true... Qiao Song's performance has been the best in the past month, and in all aspects, he is superior to the other two.
He has unique insights and sharp vision, and his ideas and strategies are suitable for war.
As expected, if he joins the army, he will soon be able to achieve meritorious service and gain a title. In the future, he will become a young pillar of the army, and even the position of general is not impossible.
