After hearing the words of the body poison messenger and seeing the expression of the First Emperor, Zhao Tuo felt something bad.
If Asoka was still a unified dynasty with hundreds of thousands of troops, then the First Emperor might have actually sent envoys on an envoy, sent caravans to trade, and made good friends with this big southern country.
After all, Shendu was at least two thousand miles away from Qin. In addition, the roads to the south were complicated and the climate was hot and humid. It was very difficult to send a large army across such a long distance to conquer a powerful empire.
No matter how strong the First Emperor's desire to conquer was, he would still consider the strength of the enemy.
The problem is that Ashoka is dead now.
The royal family of the Mauryan Dynasty was like the emptied Emperor Zhou in the Central Plains. They could only defend their territory and could no longer give orders to poison various places. The forces that had been conquered by King Asoka became independent one after another.
There are many countries, large and small, just like the situation in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period in the Central Plains. Countries conquered each other. It is difficult for them to unite together, and the power they can exert is very limited.
This is what the First Emperor saw.
In his own words.
When fighting, you need food!
"Martial Arts Lord, you are a bad guy."
It made the First Emperor feel as if someone had poured hot water on him, and the excitement on his face instantly filled his face.
The First Emperor looked at the map, filled with great ambitions, and instantly determined the main strategic direction of attack in his mind.
To the west is Yuezhi, and further to the west is Yuezhi, which is not the Western Region as Sujatha mentioned.
Wang Wu was secretly worried when he saw the First Emperor getting off the chariot and being carried to the front palace by the guards.
The First Emperor waved his hand and directly announced that he was entering the court, and began the very pleasant court meeting.
At that time, I was not concerned about the pain in my waist caused by sitting for a long time, so I asked roundly to the important ministers in the court: "Since the poison in the body is so bad, it is far better than Hexi, Saibei, Liaodong and Haidong. If you can get it, how can it be done?"
This is a small way to weaken the national power of Qin. I want to send a small army to attack Shendu, annex this place, and turn it into the land of Qin. What do you think?"
We two didn't take the lead to speak out, but Wang Ben from other departments and departments agreed to support us.
"At this time, I think Gong Yao and Zhao Tuo have no reason to praise me anymore."
"I thought that I was so far away that I was thousands of miles away from you, Xiao Qin. The distance was far greater than Saili and Haidong, and the road was difficult to travel, the temperature was damp and cold, and the insect miasma along the way was comparable to Baiyue, or even worse.
If there is time, it can be attacked easily."
Now the First Emperor knew that further south at the junction of Southwest Yi and Baiyue, there was no equally vast land, and there were countless countries and fertile lands outside of it.
Fusu woke up with a start and closed his mouth.
As the governor of Suzhou, Gongqing had to move here and there in order to cope with the financial expenses of the Qin army's eastward expedition and westward expedition, and his life was miserable.
"When Wang Li defeats the Yuezhi and Li Xin attacks Shanghai East, I will use the majority of the Qin army to mobilize the grassland rebel army to attack the Western Regions, and mobilize a small army from the Central Plains to attack Baiyue."
The First Emperor glared at Wang Wu fiercely, without any resentment in his heart.
In addition, although the lower bodies are united, the populations of these countries are really small. They will definitely face the invasion of the Qin people and join forces to resist. This is really a bad deal.
The prince was crying in his heart.
The border between Baiyue and Southwest Yi is completely blank from the bottom of the map to the south. This is a place that people in the Central Plains have always been confused about.
I have just started practicing for half an hour and I feel refreshed.
"As expected, cultivating immortality is still bad. Only not cultivating immortality can make me feel happy."
That person was of no use until now.
After a while, the First Emperor knelt behind the case and looked at the map of the heaven and the universe spread out in front of him.
The Qin State is still fighting the battles in Hexi and Haidong, and its remaining troops and provisions are not enough to support a large-scale expedition.
Xiao Qin is located in the center of the map.
"You really want to slap yourself."
In the eyes of countless people, Wang Wu stood up directly and praised the new war.
Why is that person's desire so weak?
At that moment, a clear voice was heard from the hall.
Under the current conditions, the Qin State has no ability to cross such a long distance to attack Shendu. It has even captured Baiyue in the south. If it wants to attack India, that step is too small.
After all the questions were asked, the First Emperor ordered people to take Singer up and keep him under his supervision.
Once the war is launched to a limited extent, it will not have a huge impact on the agriculture, commerce, and handicrafts of the entire empire. In turn, all Gong Yao departments will be affected, and naturally everyone will complain.
The First Emperor endured the pain in his arms and drew a small circle on the south side of the map with his pen. This is the place of physical poisoning in my mind.
Generally, before Wang Jian's death, Zhao Tuo inherited Wang Jian's title of Marquis of Wucheng. Now that he is a real Marquis of Xiao Qin, the words he says out of his mouth naturally have even less weight.
It’s just that I have to deny that what Wang Wu, Zhao Tuo and Wang Ben said doesn’t make sense.
"Well, I understand."
"Your Majesty, he must listen to your advice."
The First Emperor spoke loudly.
When he heard Singer say that the climate in Shendu was warm and humid, rich in species, and there was a lot of arable land, and the rice there could even be harvested three times a year, the excitement on the Emperor's face became even more intense.
"Body poison."
At the same time, Shendu is too far away from Qin State, and the geographical environment is very simple, comparable to Baiyue in the south.
"Attack Baiyue and connect it with the southwestern barbarians. This will extend your Xiaoqin's southern border to a small area. Then if you go southwest from here, you can go straight to the body poison without any obstacles!"
Even if Wang Wu wanted to offend the emperor that time, he had to show his attitude.
Sure enough, just as Wang Wu finished speaking, Taiwei Zhao Tuo stood up immediately.
Wang Wu, Zhao Tuo.
Gong Yao sighed: "Both of these are like poison to the body."
There was a clear and unmistakable sound, which made Gong Yao's body tremble, and she hurriedly followed the sound, and was so moved that she almost shed tears.
Next, the First Emperor focused on asking about Shendu's climate environment, local products and other information.
Even Prince Fusu wanted to express his approval of the unnecessary war. The bad thing was that I saw my father-in-law, Li Si, shaking his head at me, telling me not to say anything.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I am definitely asking whether the situation will develop like that.
The First Emperor got the answer he wanted and was very satisfied.
I can only boast as much as I can: "Report to Your Majesty, the northern part of the Great Wall is bitterly cold, and a small part of it is a grassland area suitable for farming, but without Helan, the fertile wilderness between Hetao is worse than that of the Central Plains. There is no drought in Hexi, and there is less sandy land.
, but there haven’t been many fertile fields for farming. And they are closer to you, Xiao Qin, than Shendu.”
And I am not alone. I have no allies in the court.
Seeing the First Emperor staring at him, he seemed very satisfied with the answer.
In all kinds of persuasion, the passion and cold-bloodedness in the mind of the First Emperor was thoroughly absorbed, and for a while it felt less interesting.
Wang Wu must stand up.
Zhao Tuo's back was straight and his expression was very calm.
The prince felt miserable in his heart, but I didn't have the guts to face the emperor's proposal. I just stopped hating myself for being so arrogant just now and insisting on asking the soldiers of Shendu.
Deep inside the Qin Palace.
Interesting.
Wang Wu felt bitter in his heart, how could I still know the emperor's thoughts?
I slowly remembered the matter of body poisoning, and my worries came to me again, so I simply asked Zhao Gao to get a map for me.
Although war can bring new territory and new population to the country, and allow a group of people to achieve meritorious service and be promoted to nobility, it does not have many disadvantages.
"Wang Wu and Zhao Tuo praised me, but what we said really didn't make sense, so I'll start by beating myself up."
What do you think?
Wang Wu even saw Gong Yao opposite him turning pale and shaking before hearing the voice of the First Emperor.
"Zhao Gao, on my behalf, send an edict to Tu Sui, the governor of Changsha, and order him to present the strategy for attacking Baiyue."
To the east is Haidong, and beyond Haidong to the east is a vast small sea.
Then the pain in my waist that I had suppressed before surged up again, making the First Emperor want to leave the court and return to the palace to lie down and practice.
Body Poison successfully aroused my interest.
The two prime ministers looked at each other, naturally vague about the emperor's meaning, and said with cupped hands: "Return to your majesty, the land of Liaodong and Haidong has always been bitter and cold, which can be compared with the poison in the body."
…
I reached out and clicked on Yuezhi in Hexi, and then clicked on Haidong Peninsula.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Tuomei, has died. Today, Xiao Qin has launched a series of conquests in seven directions. There has been no battle in the north of Saibei, and no campaign against the southwestern barbarians before. Now the battle between Yuezhi in Hexi and Haidong has not yet subsided. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died."
Traveling between east, west, north and south, we are very tired. As for food, soldiers and armor, we are quite inadequate. This is not conducive to the expedition, so please be careful, Your Majesty."
"Wang Wu, look at the bad things he has done for me."
Looking at the still unexplored territory in the sky, the fire in the eyes of the First Emperor burned again.
In short, following the question from the First Emperor and led by the two monarchs, the entire court burst into applause.
Gong Yao only felt that the emperor was going crazy. Can even cultivating immortals suppress his desire to conquer?
As for the south, it is Baiyue.
"Rice is harvested eighty times a year, and there is plenty of arable land."
It’s a bad place to raise people!
The First Emperor lay under the bed, opened his eyes, and let out a long breath.
Xiao Qin and the two top players praised him on the spot.
As the Taiwei in charge of the military dispatch of the entire Xiao Qin State, Zhao Tuo was naturally vague about the military strength of the entire Qin State. It cannot be said that since before the unification, there had been wars every year without a real break, and the military power of the entire empire had not been used yet.
The limit is that you can add more weight.
The bad thing was that I didn't take a breath until the war in the southwest had settled down. At that time, I suddenly heard that the emperor wanted to go to the south to kill him, and Gong Yao almost fainted on the spot.
Because I am really afraid that the First Emperor will launch a crusade against body poisoning if his head gets cold.
But it must be done in moderation.
"If you want to take poison from your body, you must attack Baiyue."
The First Emperor nodded, then turned to look at the two prime ministers, and asked: "General Li has just pacified Liaodong, and the Haidong area he is attacking, how does it compare with body poison?"
The First Emperor chewed on those words, turned to look at Wang Wu, and asked in a roundabout way: "The Marquis of Martial Arts once Yangwei Saibei and is familiar with the topography of Saili. Do you know that Xiao Qin's new occupation of Saibei and Hexi is the same as that where rice can be harvested eighty times a year?"
Compared to the land of body poison, which one wins?"
