Chapter 180: The Strategy of the World

The first person to stand up and make a generous statement was Xu Gong, the prime minister of the Great Qin State. For many years, the civil and military antagonism in the Qin State has been serious, and it would be a pity if such a good opportunity was not seized and used to strike hard at those proud and domineering generals.

Immediately afterwards, several ministers from the top doctor's uncle Sun Liang and below also stood up. They expressed their opinions one after another, and although they had different starting points, they all pointed the finger at the generals standing opposite.

Qin King Nie Feng looked at it in silence with an expressionless face, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. The situation in which the royal court's civil and military counterbalances each other was formed because of his connivance all along. This method, which has a great effect on increasing his authority, is still very effective in many cases. But at the same time, the disadvantages are becoming more and more serious. However, he weighed the pros and cons for a long time, and finally did not make up his mind to solve the problem. After all, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, they are all crucial to the strength of the Qin State, and they cannot favor one over the other.

"Your Excellency, the military defeat in this war against Zhao is mainly due to the fact that I underestimated their combat level. The soldiers have done their best, so don't be too demanding. ”

Seeing that King Qin was silent, Wei Wuzi once again took the initiative to stand up and take the fault on himself. He understood King Qin's intentions very well, and in the current situation, the royal court should unite with each other and work together to find a way to deal with the sharp edge of the Zhao people, but it was not the time to take the opportunity to attack each other.

"Wu Pingjun doesn't want to take it for others, right? Whose responsibility is whose responsibility is whose responsibility! Defeat on the battlefield led directly to the loss of the treasury. 600,000 gold! Such a huge fortune is the accumulation of many years in Great Qin! In this way, it was given to the enemy country in vain and fueled the enemy's strength...... As the minister in charge of finance, Lao Chen's heart has been dripping blood these days! ”

Doctor Shang's uncle Sun Liang was heartbroken and stamped his feet and beat his chest. If you are serious about it, in the hearts of these people, they think that the war is originally a mutual victory and defeat, and there are some soldiers killed and wounded, but there is nothing. However, the loss of such a large amount of wealth is not something that can be replenished overnight.

"What's more, successive defeats will definitely directly affect the status of the Qin State in the eyes of the princes of the world. If the king issues a summoning order in the future, I am afraid that if they respond, they will be greatly reduced. This is the most unfavorable aspect of the great cause of the Qin State! The king must not fail to notice ....... ”

I have to say that this uncle Sun Liang is very discerning. He is not only good at financial management, but also sees farther and deeper than Minister Xu Gong in some major matters.

What he can see, of course Wei Wuzi can also think of. And this last point is exactly what he began to worry about. The wise man of the Qin State nodded, turned to the King of Qin and said.

"What Dr. Shang said is very reasonable. Great King, our top priority now is to re-establish the majesty of the Qin State in front of the princes of the world as soon as possible...... It's not too late to make amends! ”

Nie Feng, the king of Qin, understood the meaning of his words, and this was exactly what he thought in his heart. Then he waved his hand, signaling that the others did not need to say any more.

"What Zhu Qing said is very reasonable. There are priorities, and instead of doing pointless discussions here, it is better to seize the time to come up with a feasible solution. So, Wu Pingjun, what is the best way to deal with the current new situation? ”

King Qin Nie Feng casually glanced at the generals who had been silent, and deliberately did not ask them. Over the years, Qin's successive military expansions and victories have indeed made the soldiers a little proud. It would not be a good thing to take this opportunity to teach them some lessons.

Seeing King Qin speak, Minister Xu Gong and Doctor Shang's uncle Sun Liang retreated very interestingly. They are all smart people. Since King Qin did not show the intention of punishing the military in the first place, it shows that he does not want to do this now. In this case, it is necessary to accept it when it is good. What's more, recently, these Wenchen groups and Wuping Jun and Wuzi have a tacit understanding in many things, and they can basically cooperate and support each other. Since the King of Qin showed the intention of continuing to let the other party preside over the overall situation, it was naturally inconvenient for them to snatch power from him.

"Zhao Guo suddenly showed such a strong position, the situation in the world is likely to change greatly! This is not only a new challenge for the Qin State, but also the best opportunity to achieve the hegemony of the world. Therefore, many of the actions carried out by the Qin State in the next step need to rely on the strength of the Great Qin soldiers...... I wonder if several generals have such confidence? ”

Above the palace hall, several Qin generals who had stood silently for a long time finally raised their heads. The soldiers of the Qin army were united, and General Wang Jian's defeat in Zhao was a rare fiasco in many years. Although it was not they who led the troops to the battle, in everyone's heart, they also felt a deep shame.

"King! Wu Pingjun, the veteran is willing to go out again, with an army of 100,000, to level the Zhao State! ”

The veteran Wang Feng, whose hair was already gray, was the first to stand up. Ever since the news of the defeat came back, he had been in a bad mood. There is no other reason, in addition to the country's military defeat, their Wang family also suffered huge losses this time.

The Wang family and the Montessori family are known as the two major families of the Qin state. In the popular sense, the Wang family accounted for three of the eight famous generals of the Qin State. They are Wang Feng, Wang Jian, and Wang Li. And many of the children of other families hold important positions in the army, which can be said to be famous and highly valued by the Qin royal family.

However, no one thought that what was thought to be the opportunity to establish peerless feats again would become the beginning of the decline of the Wang family. Wang Li died, Wang Jian was captured, and Wang Feng's son Wang Xin was beheaded by the Zhao people and brought back by the Qin mission.

All this is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Wang Feng, who is already old. Now, perhaps only if he personally goes out to save the fate of the Wang family.

However, for this veteran of a hundred battles to take the initiative to ask for battle, Wei Wuzi shook his head. He said to Wang Feng and also to King Qin.

"Great King, General Wang, I think that without finding out all the opponent's hole cards, the Qin State is no longer suitable for continuous battles with the Zhao State."

"What does Wu Pingjun mean by this? Could it be that if you lose a battle, you are afraid that Zhao Guo will not succeed? Hum! ”

Wang Feng is extremely old in the army. Not to mention the influence of his family, even Shang Yunbai, who is known as the number one general in the world, is his junior. He is even more of a former king's old minister, and even Nie Feng, the king of Qin, has to respect him for three points. Therefore, he does not have to be polite to anyone.

"I can understand General Wang's feelings. But now, if we continue to wage a large-scale war with Zhao, I am afraid it will be difficult to win in a short period of time. The new type of crossbow arrows that began to be used in the Zhao army were extremely powerful, and this weapon, which had never been seen on the battlefield, was one of the main reasons for the crushing defeat of the Qin and Wei armies. Moreover, after the successive victories of the Zhao people, it was the time when morale was high, coupled with the memory of the former king Chu Lie and the loyalty to the new king, now the Zhao State can be said to be united and united...... It would be unwise to force it to be an enemy at this time! ”

Listening to Wei Wuzi's calm analysis, Qin King Nie Feng nodded secretly, these unfavorable factors were actually what he had repeatedly considered in his heart. Most of the people in the other halls were also a little silent, but this was indeed the case, and what Wei Wuzi said was not wrong at all. Wang Feng barely held back the sadness in his heart and asked again.

"If there is no war with the Zhao State, then where will the Great Qin army target its troops next?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago, I went to Qishan and listened to Shenjizi's views on the general trend of the world. He said that the Qi of the Great Zhou Dynasty was exhausted, and it would be within two or three years...... I have already reported this matter to the king in detail. ”

Hearing him suddenly change his tone of voice and talk about this, everyone was in good spirits. That Qishan ancestor was convinced by the people of the Qin State, but what he predicted was unbelievable.

"Since the road of first attacking and destroying Zhao and occupying the strategic places of the world has been blocked, then we have to change our plans and make new strategic deployments. King, while most of the ministers and generals are here today, then let's officially decide! ”

Wei Wuzi bowed down and asked for instructions. King Qin Nie Feng nodded. He had indeed secretly discussed several sets of plans with Wei Wuzi a long time ago. Originally, I thought that taking advantage of the death of King Chu Lie of Zhao, annexing the land of Zhao, and then looking south and north to conquer the world, was the easiest way to hegemony. Now that it has failed, it is necessary to consider other feasible options.

"Just ask Wu Pingjun to tell Zhu Qing clearly! There is no one who disagrees. ”

"Good! Ladies and gentlemen, my lord! Since Zhao Guo is a hard bone, let's put it aside first. In the future, after the army of Qin State occupies the land of Zhongzhou, and then gradually destroys the princes, it will attack and destroy it with the power of thunder, but it is like exploring the bag to get something. ”

"The land of Zhongzhou? Does Wu Pingjun mean to ...... Is the Great Qin Army going to send troops to Zhongzhou and directly destroy the Zhou royal family? Will this cause the public indignation of the princes of the world? ”

Minister Xu Gong frowned, he couldn't help but be very surprised when he heard the meaning of Wu Zi's words. No matter how domineering the Qin State is, if it really does this, it will be too unscrupulous!

"Huh! The Great Qin army is a righteous army, and of course it will not be willing to risk the condemnation of the world and do such a blatant rebellion! It's just that if there is a civil strife in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Los Angeles is in flames, someone asks us to help? …… The king and the soldiers of the Qin State will naturally not sit idly by! ”

Wei Wuzi was confident, standing with his hands in his hands, and looked like he was in control of all the major events in the world.
