Chapter 70
Zhang Yi said to King Qin Huiwen: "Since the whole world wants our Qin State to send troops to Qi State, then we will send troops." Not only must we send troops to the State of Qi, but also complete the previous agreement with the State of Chu and cede the State of Pakistan to the State of Chu. ”
King Qin Huiwen couldn't help but lean forward when he heard this, looked at Zhang Yi and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
Zhang Yi explained: "Your Majesty, now that we have been resting for several months, our Qin State has eased up and our troops have been adjusted. In this way, we can gather the main force at Hangu Pass, on the one hand, to reassure the Chu State, to show that the Qin State has no intention of attacking Chu, and on the other hand, to show the Sanjin Dynasty that our Qin State intends to attack Qi. ”
"As long as our Qin State is defeated, then the Three Jin Dynasty will be stabilized, and the strategy of the Chu State to contact the Three Jin Dynasty will naturally become invalid."
"As for the relinquishment of Pakistan, there are two purposes, one is still to let Chu State relax its vigilance, and the other is to divert Chu State's attention."
"There are only two purposes of this battle, one is to eliminate the Qu Kuo Department of the Chu State army, and the other is to seize the Hanzhong County of Chu State and completely annihilate the Zhao Rat Department, as long as the 200,000 elite soldiers of Chu State are eliminated, then the elite soldiers that Chu State can mobilize in a short period of time will only be left with Jing Cui's Department, and then Chu State will inevitably be greatly injured, and it will be difficult to compete with our Qin State."
"Although Xiangguo's plan is good, Qu Kuo's troops are fortified and stationed in the Danshui Valley, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can we break his defense." And Hanzhong County is even easier to defend and difficult to attack, in the case of the lack of sailors in my Qin State, how to capture Hanzhong? ”
Zhang Yi replied: "The two problems mentioned by the right man are actually one problem, and it is difficult to capture Hanzhong, and it is naturally impossible to attack by force. But as long as we eliminate Qu Kuo who is still in the Danshui Valley, then the army of Qin can go directly to Hanshui along Danshui, so that the connection between Hanzhong and Chu can be cut off, and the support of Chu will be lost. ”
King Qin Huiwen asked suspiciously, "Then how to break through Qu Lu's defense." ”
Zhang Yi replied: "Great King, it is naturally difficult to break through Qu Kuo's defense from a frontal attack, but we can take a detour from the side. ”
"The main force of our Qin State army is gathered at Hangu Pass, and on the way to attack Qi State, we can divert it to the south in Korea and sneak attack Qu Kuo."
Sima Cuo objected: "Great King, no, change the route from Korea to attack the Chu State, the first to panic is Korea, if South Korea thinks that our Qin State is not good for them, then our army in Korea will be dangerous." ”
"Besides, it is impossible to use South Korea to avoid leaking rumors to obtain the effect of sneak attacks."
Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "Great King, our sneak attack plan is not to completely conceal the Chu State, as long as the Jingcui Department of the Chu State reaches the border of the Qi State. Then the time it takes for us to set out from South Korea to attack Qu Kuo will be far less than the time for Jing Cui to rush back to the rescue of Qu Kuo, as long as we can surround Qu Kuo's headquarters before Jing Cui rescues to the end, we can achieve our goal. ”
Zhu Li shook his head and asked, "Then what about the reinforcements from the Yingdu of the Han Dynasty of the Chu State?" Especially in Hanzhong, as long as you go down the Han River, you can quickly reinforce Qu Kuo, and then Zhao Rat's 100,000 elite soldiers plus Qu Kuo's 100,000 elite soldiers, that is, 200,000 male soldiers rely on Danshui to defend, dare to ask Xiangguo how to eliminate them, please forgive me for being stupid, it is difficult to understand Xiangguo's Arabian Nights. ”
Before Zhang Yi could speak, Gan Mao replied: "Although Xiangguo's strategy is a bit risky, it can be tried. ”
Then Gan Mao saluted to King Qin Huiwen and said: "Great King, for the Zhao Rat Department in the Han of the Chu State, we only need to send a general to blempty in Nanzheng, causing the signs of the Qin State attacking Hanzhong, then the Zhao Rat will not dare to move under the suspicion." ”
"If we can pull South Korea, we can divide the troops into two routes, all the way out of Wuguan, all the way out of Guguan to collect Korean troops in Yiyang, and gather 300,000 soldiers from Qin and Han to besiege Qu Kuo, and we will be able to win a battle."
"And in order to delay the time for the armies of Shangyong and Yingdu to support Qu Kuo, we can also divide an army after surrounding Qu Kuo and go to the dangerous place at the intersection of Han and Dan to garrison, so as to contain reinforcements from other parts of Chu State."
"In this way, even if our Qin State attacks Qu Kuo, in less than a month, we can wipe out Qu Kuo's troops."
When King Qin Huiwen heard this, he took a few breaths to calm himself down, and asked Zhang Yi again, "Xiangguo dares to ask for advice." ”
Zhang Yi bowed to King Qin Huiwen and said: "The king, when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic, and the minister's next policy is to ask the king to think twice and make a decision as soon as possible." ”
As soon as King Qin Huiwen heard this, he knew that Zhang Yi's next strategy was to still wait and see.
However, the end is certainly not advisable, although the best policy is not risky for the Qin State, but the achievement of hegemony is also far away.
Thinking of this, King Qin Huiwen clenched his hands hard and made two soft sounds.
His eyes closed for a few breaths, and then he suddenly opened his eyes and said to Sima Wrong: "Xianqing, the few people want to transfer the Qin soldiers from the land of Bashu to return, I don't know how many troops are needed to suppress Bashu and guard against Chu at the same time. ”
Sima Cuo thought for a while, and solemnly said to King Qin Huiwen: "King, Weichen is willing to make a military order, and only five thousand elite soldiers are needed to defend Bashu for the king." ”
After King Qin Huiwen received Sima Cuo's reply, he said with a happy face: "Okay, there is Lao Xianqing to return to Bashu immediately, and the widow wants to transfer troops from Bashu." ”
Sima made a mistake and said, "Only." ”
King Qin Huiwen then asked, "Who can guard Nanzheng." ”
When Gan Mao heard this, he looked at Zhang Yi and Zhu Liji, this is obviously a containment task, it is impossible for these two to be the main generals, and Wei Zhang and Zhang Yi have an extremely close relationship, and it is impossible to go to Nanzheng, so he volunteered: "King, the minister Gan Mao is willing to go." ”
King Qin Huiwen smiled and said: "Okay, there is Lao Xianqing, I don't know how many troops are needed to defend Nanzheng?" ”
Gan Mao thought for a while and replied: "King, if you are bluffing, the minister should not have a single soldier, but in order to prevent the Zhao rat dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, the minister needs five thousand elite soldiers to ensure that Nanzheng is not lost." ”
"Okay, the widow appointed Xianqing as Nan Zheng Shou, and he is fully responsible for Nan Zheng's affairs, as long as Nan Zheng is not lost, it will be a credit." King Qin Huiwen looked at Gan Mao Dao.
Gan Mao saluted and said, "Only." ”
King Qin Huiwen then said to Zhang Yi: "The widow has decided to implement the middle policy, please explain how it should be implemented." ”
Zhang Yi said: "King, please first inform the Sanjin Dynasty that our Qin State is preparing to send troops to the Qi State, and then we need a famous general who is famous all over the world to sit in Hangu Pass and gather the elite of our Qin State to show the intention of the Qin State to attack Qi." ”
King Qin Huiwen looked at Zhu Li and said, "Is Brother Wang willing to fight?" ”
He replied, "I am willing to serve the king." ”
Seeing that Yu Liji agreed to go to war, Zhang Yi continued: "King, please send an envoy to Wei to ask for relatives, be sure to destroy this Chu-Wei marriage, Weichen is willing to rush to South Korea and persuade South Korea to send troops to attack Chu." ”
King Qin Huiwen nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Zhang Yi continued: "King, next, please send someone to the State of Qi and the State of Chu to spread rumors, just say that Qin and Chu have formed an alliance to attack Qi, provoke Qi and Chu to fight each other, and delay Jingcui's department. ”
"In addition, our Qin State can send envoys to Yue State by water with heavy gifts, one is to ask for an alliance with Yue State, the other is to ask the King of Yue for men and shipbuilders who are proficient in water warfare, and the third is to bribe Yue State and ask Yue State to continue to attack Chu State, so that the eastern part of Chu State will never be peaceful."
"Then ask the king to summon the envoy of the state of Chu, saying that our Qin state is willing to let the brother of the king of Ba return to China, but inheriting the sacrifice of the king of Ba is an extremely solemn thing, and ask the brother of the king of Ba to bathe and change clothes and pray to the ancestors for seven days, and then choose an auspicious day to accept the king's gift."
King Qin Huiwen nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Zhang Yi paused and said: "King, Chu General Qu Kuo is a famous general in the world, not long ago he was promoted to Sima of Chu State, it is really a thing worth celebrating, please send a messenger to congratulate Qu Kuo with heavy gifts, so with pride, the relationship between Qu Kuo and Chu State." ”
"Please ask the king to reject the envoys and go to the state of Chu with great fanfare, bribe the king of Chu with heavy gifts, and ask the state of Chu to send troops to the state of Qi together with our Qin state."
"Next, please ask the king to send people to the State of Qi and the State of Chu to spread rumors, saying that Qin and Chu have formed an alliance to attack Qi, instigate Qi and Chu to fight evil, and delay the actions of Jing Cui's troops."
King Qin Huiwen thought for a moment and asked Zhang Yi: "When Xiangguo sent an envoy to Chu, he promised the king of Chu that as long as Chu and Qi broke off their relations, then Qin would let the brother of the king of Ba return to Ba to continue the sacrifice of Ba, and Qin and Chu were married as brothers, I don't know if there was such a thing." ”
Zhang Yi replied: "Back to the king, there is indeed such a thing. ”
King Qin Huiwen's dark face was covered with dark clouds, a cold light shot out of his eyes, and he said sharply: "Our Qin State must do what it says, since Xiangguo has spoken first, then our Qin State is willing to make friends with Chu State, in order to show sincerity, the widow is willing to take the King of Chu as his brother and send an envoy to the Chu State to be a vassal, not only that, but the widow can also send his daughter to the King of Chu as a concubine, I only hope that the State of Chu can send troops to attack the State of Qi." ”
Hearing the words of King Qin Huiwen, the hall was suddenly filled with depression, and Zhang Yi and others said to King Qin Huiwen: "I am willing to die for the king, swear to defeat the state of Chu and seize Hanzhong." ”
