Fifteen days later, the Qin Cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, the Military Machine Pavilion, the Tiance Mansion, the four generals Bai Qi, Sima Cuo, Wang Qian, Huo Quai, etc., all gathered in the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

As for the dispatch of the three major army corps, they will not be able to reach the border for a while and a half, and they have their own generals in charge.

Ying Zheng took the lead in speaking on the throne: "The army of Qin is going to the border of Yan, and all countries think that Qin wants to destroy Yan, but Qin can also destroy Wei by surprise, or destroy Qi." Do you think that I, the Qin State, should be the first to destroy that country?"

A general stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin State will destroy Han and Zhao, and the Qin State will not have much loss, with the current strength of Great Qin, it can destroy the three kingdoms of Yan, Wei and Qi at the same time, and it can be determined in two years. ”

The hall was quiet for a while, and Yingzheng couldn't deny it, and said, "What do you think?"

Wei Yu got up and said: "Your Majesty, the battle to destroy the country is different from attacking the city, 300,000 troops to destroy the three kingdoms, 100,000 per country, will be difficult to fight, and the territory of the three kingdoms is more than 4,000 miles, if the army is deep in the mud, and then there is an accident, the good form of the Qin State will be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”

Guan Zhong also said: "What Duke Wei said is extremely true, even if the Three Kingdoms can be destroyed, but the current Great Qin officials are not enough to be sent to the Three Kingdoms at the same time, if the old officials of the Three Kingdoms are activated, there will definitely be hidden dangers, and when the world is united, it will be turbulent and resurgence." I hope that my king will be cautious. ”

Zhuge Liang also said: "Kong Ming agrees with what Shoufu and Wei Gong said, the battle to destroy the country is not only to destroy its army and destroy its society. It is even more necessary to rationalize the place politically, win the hearts of the people, and turn the people's hearts to Qin, so that it can be called the destruction of the country. Otherwise, it will just destroy the royal families of various countries, and if the people's hearts do not return, there will be another Yan King and King Zhao. ”

Ying Zheng said again: "Do you still have different opinions?"

Tian Dan said: "Your Excellency, the minister thinks that it will be a little difficult for Qin to destroy the Three Kingdoms at the same time, but it can destroy Yan and Wei at the same time, and Qin has this strength." ”

Yao Jia had sent an envoy to the Wei State, and he must have some understanding of the Wei State, so Ying Zheng asked: "Yao Qing, how is the situation in the Wei State?"

Yao Jia got up and said: "Your Excellency, the King of Wei is so happy, but he is even more mediocre and incompetent, just like King Zhao, squeezing out capable ministers and believing in traitors. At the same time, Yan and Wei were destroyed, and the minister seconded the proposal. ”

Sima Terrier also got up and said: "Your Majesty, the Yan Kingdom was greatly injured by Zhao back then, and now there are less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and 200,000 of Yan's army is enough." ”

Ying Zheng said again: "What do you think about the wait?"

"Your Majesty, the kings of the three kingdoms of Yan and Wei and Qi are mediocre, and with the strength of my Great Qin, they can destroy the two countries of Yan and Wei. Wei Ran said.

Huo Quzhi arched his hand and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister's opinion is to use 200,000 troops to destroy Yan first, and then use 100,000 troops to attack Wei." After the main army destroyed Yan, it went south to destroy Wei. The two armies of the Qin State attacked from the north and south, and the Wei State would be destroyed. ”

"Wu Anjun has something to say?"

Bai Qi said with a black face: "The minister does not dare to agree, and at the same time destroy the strategy of Yan and Wei." ”

The hall was suddenly terrifyingly quiet, and the ministers did not dare to speak, and Yingzheng was also a little surprised, and said, "What does Wu Anjun mean?"

Bai Qi said: "The difficulty of destroying Yan is not the strength of Yan State, but the geographical location of Yan Country makes Qin have to fight with all his might. ”

Ying Zheng said humbly: "Lonely, please ask Wu Anjun to solve your doubts." ”

Bai Qi said again: "The Yan State is located in the northeast, and it is in contact with Donghu in the north, the Xiongnu in the west, and the Qi in the southeast. If Yan and the alien alliance and the alliance with the Qi State, how can Qin talk about destroying the two countries together. ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The general's intention, first go all out to destroy Yan?"

Bai Qi said: "The minister and Sima Cuo have also discussed privately, the difficulty of destroying Yan is that it is difficult for foreign races and Qi Wei to help, if they are not destroyed in one fell swoop, let the people of the Yan royal family flee to the Xiongnu and Donghu, or in a certain county to claim the king to restore the country, will there be endless troubles." Therefore, our army must dispatch all the troops to destroy Yan. ”

Ying Zheng said again: "Since the general has privately discussed the matter of exterminating Yan, can there be a strategy to exterminate Yan?"

Bai Qi glanced at Yingzheng and said, "The king has already made a plan, and the ministers are not offering ugliness." ”

When the people in the palace heard this, they had already made up their minds, and then they thought of the three major legions of Tianwu, Iron Cavalry, and Xuanwu that were being deployed.

Full of shock, Ying Zheng saw the situation in the world so thoroughly.

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "How can a lone force be compared to the joint discussion of all the secretaries, why should the general hide it privately." ”

Bai Qi had no choice but to say: "Destroying Yan can be divided into three armies: one way, Huo Qubing led the Iron Cavalry Legion from the east of Yanmen County in the north to destroy Yan, and its main purpose is to cut off the connection between Yan and Donghu and the Xiongnu. On the second road, the Xuanwu army led by Sima Cuo from the north of Hanoi County to the east could attack the city and pull out the fortress in the north, so that the cities in the south of the Yan State could take care of themselves, and it could also cut off the connection between the Yan State and Wei Qi. The third way is that Wang Jian led the Tianwu Legion to march northeast from the Julu Fortress and approached Jicheng, the capital of Yan State. ”

At this time, Zhang Yi also got up and said: "The importance of Yan Country is not to be alone, but to be attached to it. The Yan State attached to Chu was vertical, and the Qin was horizontal. Qin destroyed Han, destroyed Zhao, and Yan were all attached to Qin. If Yan is attached to Chu, how can Qin be so smooth, it is better to destroy Wei and Qi than to destroy Yan first. When the Wei was destroyed, Yan Ruo attached to Chu, the Chu State was in Lian and the Qi State, the situation in Shandong was unpredictable, and the battle of Qin to destroy Wei was irregular. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, and killed the swallow first. ”

Ying Zheng listened to the formal decision and said: "Kill Yan first." ”

"Your Majesty. The ministers said loudly.

After some deliberation in the court, it was decided to let Wang Jian be the commander of the Yan eradication, with an army of 400,000, Huo Quai's iron cavalry army went out from the north and east to block the possibility of the alliance between Yan and the Xiongnu Donghu, and Sima Coo made a detour from Hanoi County to the east to attack the city and pull out the village, and at the same time served as the act of blocking Wei Qi to save Yan. As for Bai Qi's God-Killing Legion, it was transferred to Changsha County to deter Wei and Chu.

At the same time, he also paid equal attention to civil and military affairs, and sent Yao Jia to envoy Wei State, and suddenly weakened to envoy Qi State. The Ministry of War is still responsible for all military ration logistics.

After everything was arranged, Ying Zheng asked, "Do you still have any omissions that need to be added?"

"The ministers have no opinion. The ministers said.

Ying Zheng just wanted to disperse the court, Guan Zhong got up and said: "Your Majesty, the hearts of the people of Zhao are still stable, because the Zhao State experienced a drought the year before last, and there was a big war last year and this year, and the people have no surplus food. There are countless corpse eaters, and the minister implores my king to reduce the taxes paid by the people of Zhao to show the benevolence of my king. ”

During the war, the people were displaced, and Zhao was no exception, how many people fled from Zhao State, entered Yan, entered Wei, and entered Qin.

The state of Zhao has been destroyed, and now it is natural to calm the people's hearts.

Ying Zheng said: "How much does the Zhao people hate me and the Qin country?"

Cai Ze said: "The Zhao people cursed Guo Kai, the king of Zhao, even more than Qin. ”

Ying Zheng said: "In this case, the taxes of the people of Zhao Di will be exempted this year, and they will be halved within three years." Cai Ze was ordered to return to Handan to preside over the affairs of Zhao State, build camps, accept displaced people, and make unified arrangements. ”

"No. Cai Ze received the order, and said: "The people can't live without food, my Qin State is about to use troops against Yan, can you allow the displaced people of Zhao to be organized into the army and eat military food." Some military works can also be arranged for them to be built so that they do not starve to death. ”

Whether there is a disaster in Qin or the rest of the country, it is a drop in the bucket for the whole country to save each other, and many people will also starve to death and freeze to death. Under natural disasters, how much the people can survive depends on their own lives, and the Qin State still has the law, and there is no disaster relief. In other words, it is to save people and not to help them.

Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and China will not propose to distribute food for disaster relief, but let the victims rely on their own ability to get food, this is the tradition of the old Qin people, Qinchuan proverb: "Cure the disaster and eat the stomach." Disaster relief, dispersed. ”。

Ying Zheng said: "Yes, Lone will send a letter to the king." ”

"Wang Qian, you have to order the three armies to not allow the generals and generals in the army to have any trouble and persecution of the people of the original Zhao State, they are already the people of my Qin State, the lonely people. If it is found out by Lone, all those involved will be severely punished. ”。

Ying Zheng said very seriously.

"The king is assured that his ministers will not let such a thing happen. Wang Jian got up and said.
