1359. Shangguan Mingren

And after Zhang Liang on the side heard Xiang Yu's request, he shouted 'wonderful' in his heart.

The Qin State has the land of Bashu, grain, grass, resources and so on, which can be recovered quickly, but if the Qin State wants a million horses, the Qin State will definitely not be able to recover within a year.

Without horses, the Qin army could only switch from offensive strategy to defense, which could ensure that at least for five to ten years, the Qin state would not be able to go east.

But whether the Qin State will give so many horses is another way to say, but Zhang Liang has a way to let the Qin State hand over the horses.

If it was just the Xiang family, Zhang Liangjue's Qin State would definitely not give so many horses, but if it was the Xiang family of the Three Jin Dynasty and the Chu State, then a million horses could still be eaten.

Under the power of the Xiang family, if he wants so many horses, the Qin State will definitely not give them to him, but if he wants them, then the Qin State can only give them.

The State of Chu sent the lieutenant general of the State of Chu, 'Shangguan Mingren'.

Shangguan Mingren is from the central aristocracy of Chu State's 'Shangguan Family', although Huang Xie now holds the power of Chu State, but in front of the Shangguan family, he also wants to give a certain face, after all, there are three people in the Shangguan family from the Shangqing of Chu State.

Moreover, Huang Xie was able to sit in Ling Yin's position, which was also supported by the Shangguan family, who saw him as a talent who could lead the Chu State to greatness, so they jointly elected Huang Xie and let Huang Xie control everything in the court

It can be said that the Shangguan family is kind to Huang Xie, and of course Huang Xie is also a great reward to the Shangguan family, such as recommending talents, serving in the court, and people from the Shangguan family are given priority to be selected.

And Shangguan Mingren is the son of one of the three major ministers of Chu State, 'Shangguan Zilan', there are three major Shangqing of Chu, they are all from the Shangguan family, they are Shangguan Zilan, Shangguan Zixin, Shangguan Zijiao, these three people are the three important ministers of Chu Jun, and at the same time, in today's court, it is also the three of them who assist Huang Xie in governing the country.

Now that the Xiang family and the Jin State have put forward what they want, he Chu State will inevitably make a request, Shangguan Mingren knows that he can't ask for what Chu State wants, but some of the losses of the expedition can still make up for part of it, of course, make up for it, and Chu State is not qualified.

In this battle, although the state of Chu dispatched a lot of troops, in addition to the central army of the state of Chu, the local nobles assisted in the battle, and the number of troops was as high as 300,000, and the commander was the son of Shangguan Zilan, an important minister in the court, 'Shangguan Mingren'.

Such a huge number of troops, but in this battle against Qin, the merit is the smallest, and the merit and what you get are not given according to how much you give, but according to your merits.

The Jin State was able to get so many things, that is, they were the main force of the Qin Dynasty, and the breaking of the Hangu Pass and the Battle of Guanzhong were all indelible forces, and the credit was also the greatest.

And the Xiang family also dared to put forward some unreasonable demands, that is, they did drag the southern forces of the Qin State in Wuguan, and also broke through the Wuguan, although they did not participate in the Guanzhong War, but the speed of breaking the city was quite fast, and at the same time that the Jin State won the Guanzhong War, the Chu State had occupied the southern Guanzhong land of the Qin State.

And the troops have been stationed in Lantian, judging from the analysis of the situation, it is difficult for the Qin troops in Lantian to stop the Xiang family's army.

Although the strength of the Xiang family is not as good as that of the Chu State, the merits of the people are much greater than that of the Chu State. Everybody reads

On the other hand, the state of Chu, although it sent a large number of troops, and it was a halfway army, did not decide the outcome with an overwhelming advantage, attacked Bashu, did not enter Bashu, and did not even blockade Bashu.

If you want to say that the only force of Chu State, that is, Chu State held the barbarian soldiers of Bashu, and the barbarian soldiers of Bashu belonged to a stronger class of troops in the Qin army, of course, this is only this role.

Therefore, it is impossible for the State of Chu to ask for something, and the Jin State and the Xiang family will not support it, but since the State of Chu has sent troops, and it is also a big country to send troops, this is also a disguised pressure on the State of Qin, and it is unreasonable not to give people something.

Of course, he also understands these truths for Shangguan Mingren,

Therefore, Shangguan Mingren does not ask for any requirements for the land of Bashu, even if they want it, the Qin State will not give it to him, it is a big deal, although the Qin State has experienced such a big war and needs to recuperate, but on the battlefield, if it is in Bashu, no one can say for sure whether the battle will be won or lost, because if the land of Bashu is well prepared for defense, it is difficult to break through.

If it was so easy to break, the Chu State back then would not have left the land of Bashu without fighting, but had made several northern expeditions to the Central Plains.

It is because they know that the land of Bashu is very difficult to fight, and the road of Shu is difficult to walk, even if a large army is sent to attack, but if they take the road of Shu, they will not be able to enter so many armies at one time.

When the Qin State entered Bashu, it was because people took the initiative to let him in, so they could easily enter the land of Bashu, if the Qin State attacked Bashu, I am afraid that they would not be able to attack at all, and they could only be turned away.

Shangguan Mingren looked at Fan Zuo and said: "Mr. Fan, our Chu State knows that its contribution is very small, and the land of Bashu is something that my Chu State wants to seek, but the Qin State will not give it, and we have not entered the land of Bashu ourselves!" ”

"We just want some money to make up for the loss of our nobles who participated in the war in Chudi!" Shangguan Mingren looked at Fan Zuo and said.

This time the Qin attacked Bashu, and the first one was the nobles of the Chu State, and his Shangguan Mingren sat on the central army of the Chu State, and did not participate in the war much behind him, so the losses were very small.

But the nobles of the people sent troops and made efforts, but now they are not fighting, and they have suffered heavy losses, you have to compensate others, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among the nobles.

Although there is now a strongman named Huang Xie in the Chu State, Huang Xie can not be as powerful as Wu Qi and dare to be enemies of all the nobles of the Chu State.

Huang Xie is now contacting some nobles, suppressing disobedient nobles, and contacting the feelings of foreign relatives, and at the same time contacting the barbarians, so he has achieved the alternative unity of the Chu State, and its unification is not weaker than that of the time of King Chu Huai.

But this approach also has a drawback, that is, it has not solved the tumor of Chu at all, but it is not easy for Huang Xie to achieve this point, after all, there is only one Wu Qi in the entire era.

Huang Xie in a balanced way, in addition to the fact that he is a nobleman, let the nobles unite, can give full play to the national strength of the Chu State, it can be said that in the Chu State, if there is no Wu Qizhicai, this way is the best.

This time the Qin attacked Bashu, Shangguan Mingren also promised these nobles who took the lead, after the deed was completed, they would give them money and territory, but in fact, they did not win the war, and there was no aftermath.

But this is not a business, things can not be done without money, people sacrifice so much, if you don't give some hard money, it is simply unreasonable, if there was no such a big promise at the beginning, people will not participate in the war, if they do not participate in the war, the loss is their Chu Central Army.
