Eight hundred and ninetieth chapter Goddess Dongjun
"What do Marquis Wu Zhen think of Wang Ben's strategy?"
In the side hall, civil and military ministers performed their duties. After leaving Xianyang Palace, Qin Wangzheng summoned Zhou Qing. In the side hall in summer, the wooden windows were open, with icebergs beside them, and the cool air slowly spread.
Once inside, a maid will serve you tea.
"Wang Ben's strategy is certainly good!"
"But... what Guowei said is more prudent. Now that Zhao has not been completely conquered, if we separate a large army and go south to quell the chaos and destroy Wei, it may cause unnecessary trouble."
"And if we want to quell the chaos and destroy Wei, there will be considerable external interference."
Looking at the overall situation, what Guowei said was not bad. Zhou Qing felt that it was better to take this as the best policy and plan for it slowly.
After the Zhao State is completely defeated, it is not too late to move the troops to the Wei State.
Wang Ben wanted to destroy Wei, so there was nothing he could do.
"Still...wait?"
Qin Wangzheng nodded in response. He admired Wang Ben's ingenious strategy. Since even Wang Jian somewhat agreed with it, he thought it was unique, but... now both the Guowei and Wang's younger brother said so.
Indeed, compared to quelling the rebellion and destroying Wei, the Zhao State, which has not yet been completely conquered, is the top priority. As expected, the situation in Zhao State suddenly changed due to the separation of a large army, which would definitely outweigh the gains and losses.
"At least we have to wait until the general's three armies take Handan!"
"Moreover, the chaotic people in Yingchuan County, led by Liusha, are quite interesting. They want to restore Korea's country, which is absolutely impossible to succeed."
"Even if there is Guigu Weizhuang's plan, chaos will at best lead to more chaos. Therefore, his plan... should have a deep meaning."
Holding the tea cup in hand, he sipped it lightly while responding to Brother Wang's words.
The world is no trivial matter, and must be fought steadily. Wang Ben's intention to destroy the country can be guessed by himself, and probably the central officials can also guess it.
The general's desire to destroy the country is worthy of praise, but he must obey the orders in response to various situations.
What's more, in Xinzheng, Yingchuan County, Guigu Weizhuang is a smart man. He doesn't know whether the matter can really be successful. Even so, he still acts forcefully.
"Oh, does Marquis Wu Zhen feel the same way?"
"Can you guess its purpose?"
Hearing this, King Qin's political face flashed with smiles. Nowadays, Qin is the only strong country in the Xia Dynasty. When Korea still exists, it is impossible to resist the power of Nanyang County. Now it is against the trend of rebellion, how can it be achieved?
become.
Therefore, Qin Wangzheng felt that the chaos in Yingchuan County was, on the one hand, a real attempt to restore the country, and on the other hand, it had other deeper meanings. However... after thinking about it for many days, he still found nothing.
But Qin Wangzheng didn't force it. It was a chaos that could be wiped out with a flip of a finger. How could it be worth the effort?
I'm chatting with Brother Wang today, so I can talk about whatever I want.
After saying that, he sat quietly on the soft couch next to him. The maid came over to change his clothes and offered herbal tea.
"The bustling world is all for the sake of coming, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for the sake of going."
"Since there is chaos in Yingchuan County, it is natural that there must be other interests to gain in order to gain a name? Guigu Weizhuang has already been famous among the Xia Dynasties. If it is profitable,... I am afraid that it will only seek the great benefits of Qin."
"Xuan Qing can't guess the specific reason. However, after all, it belongs to a small way. Under the general trend of Huanghuang Heavenly Dao, it is not something to worry about."
Zhou Qing whispered.
Maybe we can get a glimpse of it from the long river of time, but it is not of great use.
Because...I came and I didn’t allow it.
"Hahaha, the general trend of the way of heaven is vast and mighty. The words of Marquis Wu Zhen reach up to the universe. A few small tricks have nothing to do with elegance."
King Qin Zheng laughed loudly.
This was the reason why he ignored it. No matter how Guigu Weizhuang planned, how could he cause any harm to Da Qin?
Although the name of Guigu is resounding throughout the Xia,... Guigu is not a Guigu that can reverse the general trend of the Xia with just one word. The Qin State now does not need to fear anyone from hundreds of families.
Under true absolute strength, everything is just illusion.
"In the Xingle Palace just now, I was really interested in Wang Ben's desire to quell the rebellion and destroy Wei."
"But what the ministers said is reasonable, but... we succeeded in destroying Zhao. I have not yet set a goal in my mind for the decisive battle of the world. The three-pronged army destroyed Zhao, and the force of the war approached Yan and Wei."
"If Wei is destroyed, there will undoubtedly be many external intrusions. If Yan is destroyed, it may not be of much use!"
Xiang summoned the king's younger brother to the side hall. In addition to chatting about the rebellion in Xinzheng, Yingchuan County, the second thing was this matter. If Wang Ben had not personally submitted the document, Qin Wangzheng felt that the decision to destroy Zhao would have to be discussed later.
The previous strategy of the Central Committee was to destroy the Three Jin Dynasties first, then seek Yan Qi, and finally seek Chu State!
In any case, in terms of strength among the Xia states today, Chu is the only big country that can compete with Qin for supremacy. If we directly attack Chu and trap Qin's power into Chu, we will lose more than we gain.
Although it is good to destroy the three Jins first, but... Han and Zhao generals fell one after another. If we really want to destroy Wei, have we taken control of the three Jins, or is it something else... such as destroying Yan, the King of Qin will feel a political suddenness.
Destroy Wei!
Chu and Qi will never be as indifferent as they are now. The reason why Qi has always been on good terms with Qin is because Qi and Qin are far apart and there is not much conflict of interest at all.
The same is true for Chu State, because Huaibei of Chu State directly borders most of the territory of Wei State. Allowing Qin State to destroy Wei will undoubtedly open the gate of Huaibei Province to Qin State. With the flatness and openness of the Central Plains, state-owned wars are unpredictable.
This is the difficulty in destroying Wei.
Destroy Yan!
For hundreds of years since the Spring and Autumn Period, in the eyes of the Qin kings, the Yan State was really a dispensable vassal state. Even though King Zhao of Yan was so wise, it was just a flash of a meteor and was of no great use.
If you waste your energy on Yan, I'm afraid Qi, Wei, and Chu will have different conflicts.
After thinking about it for a long time, it was really difficult for the King of Qin to make a decision, and he wanted to discuss it with the central civil and military officials, but... now is not the best time, and destroying Zhao is what they should do now.
"Destroy Wei or destroy Yan?"
"But it is an important matter for the country. In Xuanqing's view, both Wei and Yan are weak. Although in recent years Wei has clamored for Wei Mou and Yan Dan has made one or two changes, in the end there is no improvement. The political situation is dim and everything is destroyed.
The country can succeed!"
Zhou Qing's expression changed. He had never thought that it was something like this. He thought about it a little, walked around the hall, and spoke softly.
"Does Marquis Wu Zhen think that he can destroy both countries at the same time?"
Qin Wangzheng responded with a smile.
There is a saying in "Han Fei's Expedition": No matter how rotten the wood is, it will not be broken by the strong wind. No matter how cracked the wall is, it will not be damaged by the heavy rain. Although the Yan and Wei countries are weak, the Yan State is connected to the Xiongnu in the north, Donghu in the east, and Qi State in the south.
"
"There are flying cavalry and light troops on all sides, who are fast and agile. If they form an alliance and become one, the Qin army can defeat it with all its strength. It is uncertain whether the two countries will decide. Which country does Marquis Wu Zhen want to conquer first?"
King Qin knew the situation of Yan and Wei very well, but they were weak, but... they should not be underestimated.
The overall situation of destroying Zhao lasted only two years, and according to the documents from the general, the Qin army suffered few casualties, which was far beyond their expectations. More importantly, the destruction of Zhao did not arouse the intention of the other four countries in Shandong to unite.
The unification of the states was something that the Qin king had been worried about before. Otherwise, Yao Jia would not have been weakened and Gai Nie would have personally taken charge of Shandong. Now that the Zhao state is about to be destroyed, even if the states in Shandong unite, the pressure will not be obvious.
"If Zhao is destroyed, among the remaining four countries, except for Wei, which has a shortage of land, the other three countries are all more than 3,000 miles apart. It would be inappropriate to divide the army to destroy them. But if one country falls into a quagmire, the overall situation will inevitably be damaged."
"Among the two countries Yan and Wei, I really chose one country. Xuanqing thought that I would destroy Yan first!"
Zhou Qing shook his head. It was not impossible to divide his forces to attack both countries at the same time, but because there was too much risk. In wars, caution was always the priority. Yan and Wei were weak, but they might not be able to unleash super strength.
"reason?"
King Qin’s government is strange!
"It is easier to destroy the Yan State than the Wei State. But the difficulty of destroying the Yan State is not to destroy Yan alone, but because of the terrain of the Yan State. There are Xiongnu and Donghu in the north. Now that the Zhao State is about to be destroyed, there must be Zhao State."
The remaining power."
"If you can't take advantage of the situation to wipe out Zhao's remaining strength, and if you can't attack and destroy Yan, the consequences will be huge. As expected, Yan will be destroyed, and with Mengtian's 300,000 troops to the north guarding it, we can fight the Central Plains countries with peace of mind."
"In addition, there is a more important point. Your Majesty should have guessed that it is even more important!"
Since King Zhao of Yan, the state of Yan has gone from bad to worse. The state of Zhao once defeated the state of Yan, and the state of Qi also defeated the state of Yan. The national strength of the state of Yan has been greatly depleted. If it were not located in the northeast of Zhuxia, it would not be as good as the Central Plains.
It had long been attacked and destroyed by the other vassal states.
Looking at the choice, Zhou Qing felt that it was better to destroy Yan. After destroying Yan, he would then destroy Wei and capture the three Jins.
"Why?"
Qin Wangzheng's eyebrows showed a hint of solemnity, and he nodded slightly, his brother's words made sense.
"Although Yan is weak and dispensable, its country can be attached to a big country. If Yan is not destroyed, the troubles in the future will be even greater!"
These words were not spoken by Zhou Qing himself, but were planned by Guigu's disciples.
Decades ago in the era of great strife, after Guigu's disciples Su Qin and Zhang Yi disappeared from the Xia one after another, the Yan State looked at the Xia and was extremely hesitant. In this way, Su Dai, the land of Su Qin, made suggestions for the Yan State.
——There are seven warring states in the world, but Yan is weak! It cannot fight alone, and if it is attached, it will be heavy. If it is attached to Chu to the south, then Chu will be heavy. If it is attached to Qin to the west, then Qin will be heavy. If it is attached to Han and Wei in the middle, then Han and Wei will be heavy. And
Gou has been responsible for the heavy burden of the country, and this will surely make the king heavy again!
In other words, the Yan State cannot stand alone and cannot become the true overlord of the Xia, but it can become an important subordinate alliance country. The Yan State's attachment to any country will greatly increase the power of that country.
The importance of the Yan State lies in its dependence on the great powers, rather than dominating the Xia. It can only greatly increase the weight of the great powers. The Yan State must also have its own weight. For decades, the Qin State has used the strategy of responding to the situation.
Making friends from far away and attacking close by, making good friends with the State of Yan, is a response.
Throughout the 800 years of the Yan Kingdom, except for King Zhao of Yan, who was strong during the Leyi period and briefly defeated Qi and became famous among all Xia, before and after that, it sought dependence among the powerful Xia countries and wavered.
In the age of great strife, when alliances and alliances were most intense, Qin was able to form alliances with Yan many times and break the alliance. In fact, this was done because Yan pursued the "strategy of vassaling the country."
.
Although Yan State's implementation of the vassal strategy was not consistent, its most frequent alliances with Qi, Zhao, and Qin were also uncertain, and its alliance with Chu, South Korea, and Wei was even more unpredictable.
In any case, it is an indisputable fact that the Yan State can still turn to any big country for support at any time.
If Yan is not destroyed directly, then the Yan State will move eastward to rely on Qi State and then Chu State, which will be a true alliance against Qin.
From this point of view, the Yan Kingdom was the most unstable and difficult to control among the four Xia Kingdoms after the destruction of Zhao. In addition, Yan Dan was hostile to Qin. Zhou Qing felt that Brother Wang had made a decision in his heart at this moment.
"Destroy Yan!"
“Very good!”
“Very good!”
Qin Wangzheng looked at the tea cup in his hand for a long time, his eyebrows raised, Yan State... is really a vassal state that is difficult to control, and Yan Dan... who is in the country is even more hostile to Qin.
Indeed, after the destruction of Zhao, King Qin's political intentions were settled.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yin-Yang Family has an audience!"
After the matter was settled, the doubts in Qin Wangzheng's heart disappeared, and the smile on his face flashed. Even if he and his brother were having a happy banquet, Shangshifang had already sent all kinds of food to the two of them.
Ever since the Empress Dowager Huayang, Lord Changping, Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Min... and all the other incidents, the King of Qin has not had such a free drink for a long time. It is really difficult to tell outsiders about all these things.
While listening to Zhou Qing talking about various things west of the river, suddenly, a loud voice echoed outside the hall.
"Yin Yang Family Master?"
"Summon!"
Qin Wangzheng's expression changed. In recent years, the Yin and Yang family has been sitting in Xianyang Palace to observe the celestial phenomena and regulate the country's power. In addition, he has also learned the mystery of Yin and Yang and appreciates it very much.
Since Dongjun is here at this moment, he must have something important to do, so he whispers and gives the order.
"Concubine Dongjun Yan?"
Zhou Qing, who was tasting genuine wine, was also surprised. Why did Dong Jun come here at this time?
The spiritual sense spreads, but there is a pure and yang aura from far to near, and the yang is strong and has begun to evolve into yin and soft. Concubine Dongjun Yan is indeed extremely talented.
If this continues, I'm afraid I won't even need to take the Fire Cloud Pill. Within ten years, I will be able to master half a step of the Mysterious Entrance, and within twenty years, it will be a breeze to step into the Mysterious Entrance.
Although twenty years is a long time, for Dongjun, who is very good at looking good, he is still very beautiful.
"Dongjun has met the king!"
"Wu Zhenhou!"
A few breaths later, a woman with a dark golden light appearing all over her body appeared in the side hall. She had an unparalleled appearance and elegant temperament. She was wearing a dark flame skirt. Her dark and smooth hair was as before. She was combed behind her back and bound by a black jade hairpin.
.
Wearing golden high boots, she has a graceful figure and a unique style. Blessed by the Yin Yang family's heavenly cultivation techniques, her cultivation is close to the entrance. She is otherworldly and has a feeling of a celestial being and a goddess.
The yin and yang rituals came out with crisp sounds, and the breeze blew, and the hair swayed.
"Haha, no need to be polite."
"Your Excellency Dongjun has been teaching Yangzi recently, I'm afraid it's been very tiring."
"Take a seat and give me tea!"
Qin Wangzheng nodded and smiled, held up one hand in vain, then looked to one side and gave the order.
For many months, Yangzi has been learning Yin and Yang skills under Dongjun Yanfei. It seems that her qualifications are not bad, but she has a little interest in it. Qin Wangzheng doesn't care. As long as Yangzi is willing to learn, then he will continue to learn.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Princess Yangzi is a prodigy in onmyoji. As expected, she will definitely achieve great success in her practice."
Concubine Dongjun Yan did not refuse, her beautiful eyes flashed with crystal clear light, and she said the yin and yang ritual again.
As he stepped, a dark golden light suddenly appeared under his feet, and as he breathed, he had already returned to the side facing Zhou Qing behind the case.
She raised her hand lightly, looked at the maid in front of her, took the tea, and took a sip.
He placed the tea cup on the table and praised Princess Yangzi.
