October 2, 259 BC.

Xianyang.

The weather is slightly cool, but the main hall of Xianyang Palace is hot.

Qin Wangji sat high on the throne, his old face looked radiant at the moment, and even his originally somewhat rickety body was much straighter.

It's not just Qin Wangji, but many of the ministers of the Qin State present have more or less smiles on their faces.

To be honest, the atmosphere in the court of the Qin State has been a little depressing in the past six months.

Although he successfully drew the Qi State to his side through diplomatic activities, because the Three Jin Alliance led by the Zhao State was like a mountain to the east of the Qin State, the Qin State was still suppressed even though it still considered itself to be the most powerful country in the Warring States at this moment, and could not move at all.

Tigers are also afraid of wolves.

But!

Days like this are finally coming to an end!

A cheerful and pleasant news had just reached Xianyang City, and Qin Wangji had convened the meeting immediately after hearing the news.

The Huns marched south and invaded the northern border of Zhao!

For the Xiongnu tribe, the Qin State actually still has a certain understanding.

Although it is not the strongest in the grassland, it is also one of the few powerful nomads in the northern grassland at the moment.

Moreover, through the channels of the Yiqu people in Shangjun of the Qin State, the Qin people also learned another fact, that is, this time the Xiongnu seemed to have suffered a heavy snowstorm, so they couldn't wait for the whole army to go south, wanting to recover the losses in the Central Plains.

This is definitely a matter that cannot be underestimated for Zhao Guo.

So it's no wonder that Fan Sui, who was speaking at the moment, had such obvious excitement in his words: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the spies' reply, a few days ago, the 2,000 cavalry of the Northern Army of Zhao State have gone north to support Yanmen County, and the main force of its officers is also being assembled, which seems to have the intention of going north. ”

Zhao is now Qin's number one henchman, so Qin has also arranged a large number of spies and eyeliner in Zhao, and it is impossible for Zhao to hide Qin's eyeliner in Handan if any large-scale transfer of troops is possible.

Normally, when dealing with the invasion of the northern nomads, Zhao would only let the northern border army meet it on the spot, but this time even the central army was used, which proves one point - the Huns did pose a very big threat to the Zhao people!

Fan Sui waved his hand vigorously, looking a little excited: "In this way, Daqin can go straight out of Wuguan, break through the Chu State, and recapture the two southeastern counties!" ”

Of course, Fan Sui will be very excited.

After all, the first attack of long-distance close attack failed miserably, which was a pain in Fan Sui's heart.

Only by regaining everything that Qin lost in the Battle of Changping, and then completely defeating Zhao from his hegemony, otherwise this pain in Fan Sui's heart cannot be calmed at all!

At this moment, this is a great opportunity!

It's not just Fan Sui, in fact, everyone here thinks so in their hearts.

These people are important figures in the Qin State, and the fate of the Qin State is closely related to their fate, and they all hope that Great Qin can be invincible and prosperous.

Therefore, An Guojun Zhao Zhu almost immediately spoke: "Fan Jun's words, good!" King, please send troops to conquer Chu and recover the two counties in the southeast! ”

After An Guojun Zhao Zhu, several ministers of the Qin State expressed their approval, especially Wang Di, the captain of the guard, who was even more excited, with a look of eagerness to try.

Qin Wangji glanced at the faces of the ministers in the hall, and then nodded secretly.

This is the backbone of the old Qin people, the old Qin people can fail, but they will definitely not be defeated.

As long as the old Qin people seize the opportunity once, then the old Qin people will definitely win the final victory!

Qin Wangji said slowly: "In this case, then Wang Ji will be the main commander, and lead 200,000 troops to attack Chu, and be sure to defeat the Chu people and recapture the two counties in the southeast of Great Qin!" ”

Wang Ji came out of the ranks, bowed to Qin Wangji, and said, "No! ”

Qin Wangji turned his head again and said to Fan Sui: "Fan Jun, you will send an envoy to the Qi State to say that the King of Qi and Great Qin will attack Chu together!" ”

Fan Sui promised.

Qin Wangji thought for a while, and then asked, "This time is the soldier of He County?" ”

Fan Sui replied: "The soldiers of Bashu." ”

Due to the particularity of the Sichuan Basin, the Bashu soldiers were the only county soldiers of the Qin State who were not transferred in the last Changping War, so it was natural to send the Bashu soldiers as the main force to fight this time.

Qin Wangji pondered for a while, and said decisively: "Send another 50,000 Guanzhong disciples to attack Chu together!" ”

Perhaps because the Bashu Basin is too nurturing, the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers in the Bashu Basin has always been recognized as the penultimate existence in the Qin State, and Qin Wangji is obviously not too relieved about this.

After arranging this matter, Qin Wangji looked at Wang Ji again and asked, "How do you want to cut down Chu?" ”

If it was Bai Qi who led the troops, then Qin Wangji would not ask that.

Wu Anjun's use of troops has always been ever-changing, and it will be adjusted at any time according to the situation on the battlefield, and it is not much use to ask.

But Wang Yi is obviously not Wu Anjun, there is only one Wu Anjun in this world.

Wang Yi was obviously in his chest, and said: "Great King, the minister will lead an army of 200,000 out of Wuguan to take Danyang and Dengcheng, so the Chu people will be afraid, and they will gather heavy troops to confront the minister." At that time, the deputy general Wang Ling led an army of 50,000 troops down the river from Bashu, crossed Yufu, Yiling and broke the Yingdu. If the Yingdu is broken, the Chu people will have no will to fight, and the ministers can also win in a battle! ”

Wang Di's strategy is actually very simple, that is, "striking the east and attacking the west".

Twenty years ago, when the Qin State invaded Chu, it also played such a trick.

At that time, it was the Bashu naval army led by Sima Cuo who attracted the main force of the Chu army, and it was Bai Qi from Wuguan who went south to attack the Chu State as a surprise soldier.

Now Wang Di's plan is to change the position of the main force and the surprise soldier.

Qin Wangji pondered for a while, then looked at several important ministers of the Qin State around him, and found that no one opposed this plan.

So Qin Wangji clapped his hand and said, "Good." That being the case, pass on the order of the widow, immediately levy the soldiers of all counties, and be sure to assemble within half a month and set off to attack Chu! ”

"No!"

After a while, the ministers dispersed, and only Qin Wangji, An Guojun Zhao Zhu and Fan Sui were left in the main hall.

There are some things that cannot be said in public.

Qin Wangji looked at Fan Sui with blazing eyes, and said, "Fan Jun, can Han and Wei participate in this battle?" ”

That's right, if he can, Qin Wangji also hopes to pull the two countries of Han and Wei into the water together.

In this way, the four countries attacked Chu, and the state of Chu can basically be said to be defeated.

Fan Sui thought about it and looked embarrassed.

"King, that Han Wang Ran is an impermanent villain, and according to the spies' report, Han and Zhao have had close contacts recently, and this matter may be difficult to do. However, in the Wei Kingdom, Wei Wangyu and Wei Wuji brothers fought endlessly, and this matter may be a try. ”

Qin Wangji nodded and said, "In that case, then this matter will be handled by Fan Jun." ”
