In the face of Ying Zhengjing, no great talent can still deal with it calmly, as the so-called soldier dies for his confidant, Wei Yi is this kind of thinking at this time.

Wei Yu left his seat, came to the desk, knelt down to Ying Zheng, and confirmed the status of the monarch and minister.

Wei Yu returned to his position and talked about Tianming with Yingzheng and the two ministers. Wei Yi and Li Si said goodbye and left, and Ying Zheng had time to rest for a while.

Yingzheng General Wei Yu arranged to enter the cabinet and serve as a small official, allowing him to have the right to deliberate. Since the implementation of the merit system in the Qin State, everything is based on merit, even if Wei Yu is a peerless talent, without merit, Yingzheng is not good to let him ascend to the sky and hold a high position in one step, only one step at a time.

Wei Yu has no opinion on Ying Zheng's arrangement, so that he can obtain the official position by his own ability, so that the ministers of the DPRK and China have nothing to say.

A month later, in the military aircraft pavilion.

Ying Zheng sat in the main seat, Wei Ran, Zhuge Liang, Wei Yu, the secretary of the military department, Sima Terrier, the squire Mengwu, Tian Dan and others were divided into two shifts, and initially discussed the strategy of destroying Zhao.

Wei Ran got up and said: "Your Majesty, the king of Zhao is now arrogant, traitorous ministers are in charge, talents are withering, talented people such as Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, the general Lian Po, Le Yi and his son, etc., are all excluded and cannot be trusted. Zhao State is already at the end of the strong crossbow, as long as my Qin State strikes with a thunderbolt, Zhao will be destroyed. ”

Zhuge Liang also said: "What the cabinet master said is extremely true, the officialdom of Zhao State is now also full of conspiracies and tricks, and the government is corrupt. After the defeat of Yan State, King Zhao was arrogant, and ordered to recruit young and strong men of Zhao State to form an army of 50,000. ”

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "The two counties of Han and Di are too shou county to say that the people of the two counties are gradually losing their hearts, and they will not be divided into Qin and Han people in half a year. Do you think the 100,000 troops of the two counties can be transferred back to the camps of the two counties of Taiyuan and Hanoi?"

"In the opinion of the ministers, it is not appropriate to mobilize the army, and it is necessary to stay in the old Han in order to deter Xiaoxiao and protect the peace of the two counties. Meng Fu replied.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is not impossible to transfer back the two armies, and there are defenders in the two counties, which is enough to maintain the safety of the city. The army is transferred back, if there are really small people who make trouble, it will be a good thing for the Qin State, and then send a large army to exterminate it, and it will be a disaster. Shocked for a while, but not for a lifetime, since this is the case, why not let them think that there is an opportunity, jump out by themselves, and once and for all. ”

Zhuge Liang put forward his own opinion.

The ministers in the palace are a little jealous of Zhuge Liang, and they are meticulous, and they are full of traps. If there were really young people in Han Di, they would think that the Qin State was transferring back the army to use troops against Zhao or Wei, thinking that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so as to make waves, but they didn't know that this was Zhuge Liang's plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

Zhuge Liang is Zhuge Liang, and a casual strategy contains the meaning of killing two birds with one stone.

Ying Zheng said: "According to the will of the lord of Zhuge Mansion." In addition, Zhang Tang, the commander of the Changsha County battalion, was ordered to be on standby at any time. ”

Wei Ran responded: "Obey." ”

Ying Zheng signaled, Wei Ran got up to preside over the meeting, and Ying Zheng had an attitude of only listening and not speaking.

Wei Ran got up and came to the military map of the center, pointed to the territory of Zhao and said: "Your Majesty, please see, Zhao is located in the north of the Central Plains, bordering the Xiongnu in the north, Yan in the east and northeast, Wei in the southeast, and Qin in the west and south. ”

"To the west of Zhao is Taiyuan County and Shangdang County of our Qin State, and to the south is Hanoi County. The goal of destroying Zhao was to capture Handan, and the west of Handan City was Shangdang County, but there was Taihang Mountain between Shangdang and Handan, and it was impossible to directly move the army eastward. ”

"The only way to choose the route to attack Handan is to send troops from Hanoi County and Taiyuan County. ”

"Let's start with the troops from Taiyuan County, the east of Taiyuan County is also Taihang Mountain, and we can only attack Jingcheng in the north of Handan in Zhao State from the east of Taiyuan County, and then wave the army from Jingcheng to the south and go straight to Handan. This route can be said to go deep into the hinterland of Zhao State, and the crisis is unpredictable. ”

"It is far from Jingcheng to the south to attack Handan Road City, not to mention, there are several cities in between, and the speed of the attack cannot be determined. ”

"The second route is to wave the army from Hanoi County to the north, attack the city all the way, force out the main force of Handan, and then fight to the death. This route is closer to Handan, but Zhao Guo built the Great Wall in the south of Handan City, and the Great Wall is connected to Taihang in the west and Zhangshui in the east. To the south of the Great Wall, there are Zhangshui and several cities of the Zhao Kingdom, so it can be said that the road to Zhao is not easy. Yichen estimated that the destruction of Zhao would require the mobilization of an army of as little as 300,000 and as much as 400,000. ”

All the ministers understood, that is to say, no matter which way to attack Handan of Zhao State from the north and south, the Qin State would pay a great price.

However, this is also inevitable, and what is to be discussed now is how to destroy the Zhao State at the lowest cost.

Tian Dan said: "It is better to directly lead an army of 400,000 from Hanoi County to the north, and fight steadily, Zhao will definitely send the main force to meet the enemy, and our army will destroy the main force of the Zhao army, and Zhao will be powerless to resist and will be destroyed." ”

The rest of the ministers listened to it and agreed that it was indeed a safer way to start with Bai, Sima Cuo and other veteran generals leading the troops and destroying Zhao with an army of 400,000.

Sima Terrier said: "Why don't you attack Handan in Zhao State from the north and south?"

Zhu Li shook his head and said: "Not to mention the long distance from Taiyuan County, Jing Cheng is the hinterland of Zhao State, and from Jing Cheng to Handan is to march in the belly of Zhao State, if the grain and grass are cut off, the consequences can be imagined." ”

The ministers in the palace were all in deep thought, and they were all thinking of a better plan than a direct attack by an army of 400,000 to the north.

At this time, Ying Zheng said lightly: "First, it is already June, and there is a great drought in Zhao State, and there are still about two or three months before the autumn harvest, even if it rains, it will not help." Second, King Zhao is now planning to attack Yan. ”

When the ministers heard this, their eyes lit up, and Wei Ran said, "It's still the king's knowledge." ”

Then he said: "In this form, there are good strategies compared to all of you, please come quickly." ”

At this time, Tian Dan said: "There is a great drought in Zhao State, the people are suffering, and the people's hearts are moving. Therefore, King Zhao will definitely start a war against Yan and destroy Yan to save Zhao. Chen dared to assert that at the latest next year, in the spring of next year, Zhao Bi would start a war against Yan. Zhao had a great drought and fought with Yan, and this time was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my Qin State. ”

"The minister thought that the strategy of attacking Handan from the north and south could be discussed. ”

At this time, Wei Yu said: "The lower officials have a strategy, and they have said that Qin will destroy the six countries with equal emphasis on civil and military. The lower officials thought that they could send envoys to Zhao with heavy money to make friends with important ministers of Zhao State, so as to disrupt their politics and implement internal and external policies to destroy Zhao. ”

Wei Ran said: "This plan has been implemented in my Qin State, and the cabinet Zhang Yi is now in the Zhao State. ”

Wei Yu said: "Deputy Chief Zhang is famous, and his ability is naturally needless to say, but it is precisely because of this that Zhao Guo will be on guard against him, and the effect is not great." This is one of them, and Lord Zhang is a member of my Qin State from the second grade, and his status is high, if Qin and Zhao go to war, Zhao State will detain it regardless of the rules, and use it to threaten our Qin State army, how can Qin State deal with itself. This is the second one. ”

Only then did everyone in the hall wake up, yes, Zhang Yi's diplomatic ability is extraordinary, which the world knows, how can Zhao Guo be unguarded against it.

The ministers of the DPRK and China have all entered a misunderstanding, the ability is too strong, and no one will let you play it, so what's the use.

Wei Ran and a few other people in the Military Machine Pavilion really began to pay attention to Wei Yu, and sure enough, there was no simple person who Ying Zheng valued.
