Two hundred and eighty-sixth chapters force the three Jin Dynasty
Zheng Guo, a Korean water engineer, entered the Qin Dynasty a few years ago. At that time, Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei was still the regent of the country, and he presided over the regulation of the Qinchuan water in order to turn the thousands of miles of Guanzhong into fertile soil.
Last winter, Qin Wangzheng, Zhou Qing, and Mr. Gai Nie went to Wenxin Academy. On the way, they mentioned that Zheng Guo might be using a strategy to weaken Qin, so that Qin State would waste its energy and be unable to go eastward.
Under Zhou Qing's persuasion, the King of Qin didn't say much about his government. Even if it was a plan to weaken Qin, as long as the canal construction was successful, Qin's lost national power would immediately recover, and the recovery would exceed the previous recovery. In this way, even if Qin was exhausted
What's the problem?
With Li Si as the Prime Minister of the River Canal and issuing documents three times a month, Ying Zheng also had a clear understanding of the progress of the canal. In his own plan, when the canal was completed, he would rectify the Qin State and send troops out of Guandong.
I just didn't expect that in recent months, major rivers and canals in the Qin State have been troubled one after another, and figures from the Guandong countries are constantly emerging. Even if one person can be captured and killed, there are so many rivers and canals in the Qin State.
Increasingly, dozens of canal points in the five major river systems in the Qin State were destroyed, so that now it was approaching the summer harvest time, the fields were flooded, and the people of Qin were in great pain. This is how everyone gathered in Xingle Palace today.
"A plan to tire Qin?"
"How can a mere hydraulic worker dare to bully Qin like this? Our king has ordered us to respect the laws of Qin. This person should be punished!"
For decades, Qin had been oppressing other countries. When it was other countries' turn to oppress Qin, General Wang Jian heard this, wearing heavy armor and looking furious. He stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted, temporarily letting go of his murderous intent.
Even the captain in front of him, Meng Wu, was moved. Although he didn't say anything, his actions said everything.
For a moment, there was endless sound in the huge Xingle Palace. Changping Lord Xiong Qi was in front and nodded again. The hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo wanted to use a plan to weaken the Qin Dynasty. If he continued to build the canal, I am afraid it would cost more.
energy and material resources.
"A plan to tire Qin!"
"I have known this for a long time, but the construction of the canal is already halfway through. To postpone it now is to waste all the previous efforts. Li Si, the canal chief, has been supervising Zheng Guo. For several months, the progress is still there. The only ones who hate it are those Guandong Xiaoxiao."
"What I have called you here today is not the business of Zheng Guo. From today on, apart from the important affairs of the state, the Qin State will prioritize the construction of the canal. As long as the construction of the canal is successful, by then Qinchuan's Baimaojitan Beach will be gone.
There will be no dry fields near the water, millions of old Qin people will benefit, and Qin’s national power will increase tenfold!”
Compared with the achievements of building the canal, the mere plan to weaken Qin was nothing. Qin Wangzheng still walked up, looked at the three people in the hall below asking for orders, and shook his head gently. At this time, killing Zheng Guo was a mess.
Among the current hydraulic engineers of Qin State, no one can surpass Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo's death is nothing more than building canals and barriers. This is definitely not what he wants to see, but it is really a bit of a trick to Guandong Xiaoxiao.
I can't stand it anymore.
"My king, in the matter of diverting Jing into the water, more than 500,000 people have been recruited, so that other water conservancy projects in the Qin State cannot be carried out. Now, as the summer harvest is approaching, the people should be sent away to grab the harvest."
"If possible, we will recruit people again in the autumn to build the canal!"
Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the king already knew about Zheng Guo's plan to weaken Qin. In this case, he still tried his best to let Zheng Guo continue to build the canal. Of course, after the canal was successfully built, there would be many benefits.
But now the impact of canal construction on Qin is getting bigger and bigger, delaying other projects, summer harvest is approaching, no one is around, and a lot of trumpets are being carried out every day in the treasury, which is not a good price.
"Needless to say, I have made up my mind. No matter how difficult it is for the Qin State, the construction of the canal cannot be delayed. After these two years, the countries in Guandong will have to pay a sufficient price."
"In recent months, people from the various countries in Guandong have been intruding on Qin's canal projects. Most of them are traveling disciples, supplemented by knight-errant swordsmen. They disturb a place and then turn around and leave, causing the officials and people of Qin's major counties to
It’s too disturbing.”
"Therefore, I want to send a large army eastward from Hangu Pass to attack the three Jin Dynasties and intimidate all the countries in the east of Guandong. What do you two think, Meng Wu and Wang Jian?"
If you don't show any real color to the Kwantung countries, you should really think that Qin's soldiers are idle people. Since you send people to invade Qin's canal fortifications, then the lost things should be recovered from the Kwantung countries.
Capture cities and increase the amount of tribute you can pay!
The King of Qin's political speech fell, and his eyes fell on the state captain Meng Wu and the general Wang Jian. In today's army, these two people should be the most powerful. Although Huanjie is a general, he is old and can no longer command the army.
.
"This..., my king's words, Meng Wu must obey."
"During the chaos in Sanchuan County a month ago, Meng Wu had discussed with General Huanjue and General Wang Jian to secretly leave Hedong with his army, conquer Pingyang in one fell swoop, restore Hedong County and frighten the Three Jin Dynasties, in order to promote the power of Qin."
"Today, there is no chaos in Sanchuan County, and the rivers and canals are intruding, so it may not be impossible to use this strategy!"
Lieutenant Meng Wu raised his head and looked at the king above him. He immediately glanced at Wang Jian behind him and agreed to the king's plan. After all, the attack on the Three Jin Dynasties was part of the previous plan, so it was not in vain.
"Conquer Pingyang? What's the reason?"
I know the location of Pingyang. It is next to the Fen River and Shangdang. It is quite far away from Hedong County, which has not yet been fully incorporated by the Qin State. Could it be that this place was chosen as a pretense of intimidation?
He raised his eyebrows and turned his attention to Meng Wu again.
"Report to your Majesty, there are three reasons for choosing Pingyang to fight: First, the general situation requires it. After the Changping Battle, the Qin army was defeated three times and withdrew from Hedong and Hanoi. Hedong County was regained by the Zhao State, and Hanoi County was recaptured by the Wei State.
.Later, General Meng Ao was ambushed by the State of Zhao, and his eastward advance failed."
"Secondly, my king's words come at the right time. At present, the state of the Three Jin Dynasties is in decline, the war between Yan and Zhao has just ended, Qi and Wei are hostile to each other, and South Korea and Chu are in confrontation. The Three Jins are naturally not a big threat now.
At this time, if we go to Guandong, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
"Third, the military situation is favorable. Pingyang is a choke point in the east of the river. The Zhao State is stationed with 150,000 infantry and cavalry troops, which can be said to be a heavy army. However, the general in charge of the army is Chunping Lord, who was once a hostage of the Qin State. This ruler's fiefdom is not in Pingyang, and there is no rule of the people.
We have never fought a big battle, so if I can raise an army, I should have a 70% to 80% chance of winning."
This time, the person who responded was not Lieutenant Meng Wu, but General Wang Jian. Wearing heavy black armor, he took a step forward from Meng Wu's side, bowed his hands, and explained the reason for sending troops to conquer Pingyang.
Since we want to deter the Three Jins, we naturally have to choose the best plan. Although all the countries in the Kanto region are hostile to Qin, there are constant internal disputes. The Three Jins are located in the Central Plains, and Yan, Qi, and Chu are all eyeing it.
Now, with their involvement, the Qin State can become powerful.
"The current general of Zhao State is the famous general Li Mu?"
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed, and Hedong County was captured by the Zhao State. A few years ago, the old general Meng Ao was attacked and killed by Zhao General Pang Nuan, and the matter of Chang'an Jun Chengjiao was also resolved within the Zhao State.
Recently, I heard that a new famous general in Zhao Kingdom, named Li Mu, fought against the Yan Kingdom. He led 80,000 troops and defeated the Yan Kingdom's 200,000 soldiers. He beheaded the Yan Kingdom's famous general Ju Xin. His reputation spread far and wide, and he was chasing the veteran general Lian Po.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."
"Although Li Mu is a good general in the world, he has always been at odds with Guo Kai, a close confidant of King Zhao, so he has been stationed at Yanmen in Yunzhong for a long time, and cannot sit in Handan and command the entire country's army with the power of a general. The Handan general Hu Zou, and the Lord Chunping of Hedong, Each has more than 100,000 troops, and Li Mu has never been able to give unified orders."
"Besides, even if Li Mu goes south to rescue, his frontier cavalry will go south at the same time and enter Pingyang twenty years later. At that time, our army is waiting for work, and the river valleys and mountains are conducive to our heavy armored infantry. Zhao Jun is definitely no match."
Mentioning the war, Wang Jian smiled confidently. A few years ago, the new King of Zhao succeeded to the throne and removed Lian Po from his position. Qin State had less pressure on Zhao State. Although Li Mu has become famous in recent years, the prestige of the countries in Guandong has continued. .
But Wang Jian believed that Qin's cavalry was no less than any army, and he was no less than any general.
"So, very good!"
"Meng Wu, Wang Jian, this matter has been settled. You two will return to the Lantian camp to discuss specific countermeasures and report back to me. You will immediately march out of Hangu Pass and overwhelm the three Jin Dynasties."
"It depends on the military, Lord Changping. In recent months, many people from the Kwantung countries have entered the Qin Dynasty. You should send people to join the Guowei Mengwu to control the pass and fortress, check the inflow and outflow of people, and cut off this matter from the source!"
To deal with the current intrusions on canal construction, we must be tough to the end. Externally, we send troops out of Hangu and deploy troops externally. Internally, we must strictly interrogate people from all parties. Of course, it is also indispensable to investigate all parties who have entered the Qin State. People provide rectification.
"Respect my king's order!"
This time, Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, had no other doubts and said yes. If this is the case, it is all right.
"Since the sudden death of Wen Xinhou, his disciples have been scattered throughout the Qin State. According to Luowang's information, they have stayed in major counties and counties to provide information to the Guandong Ranger forces who are also in the Qin State."
"Otherwise, how could those so-called rangers hit the target with one blow! In this case, we need the help of Lord Changping and Master Xuanqing. From now on, an official document will be issued, and all counties and counties where the river canal is located will send additional manpower to provide assistance. Patrol and defend."
"After that, we need to trouble Master Xuanqing, the Yin Yang family, and Mr. Gai Nie. As for the ranger forces, the soldiers in various counties and counties are not strong enough. Later, the king will write down. You will be the governor of the river canals, Xuan Qing The master is guarding Zheng Guo all over, and the Yin Yang Family and Mr. Gai Nie are at the checkpoints of the major rivers and canals in Qinchuan!"
On the order of Sanchuan County, the power of warriors ignores hundreds of Qin soldiers and Luoyang Prison. If those powerful warriors and rangers appear in Qin State, it is impossible to achieve anything with the soldiers in those counties.
There must be warriors to deal with warriors. Master Xuanqing and others are there openly, and secretly, there are snares to monitor and wipe out all those Guandong Xiaoxiao who dare to intrude on the river canals.
"Although the Qin State adheres to the rule of law, those young people from Guandong are not from our Qin State. Capture them, convict them, suppress them, and execute them!"
