Chapter 263: Who's the General? (2nd Update)

Who will be the general!

This is a big problem, and Hu Hai didn't know how to choose for a while. It stands to reason that it is most reasonable for Tongwu Hou Wang Ben to lead the army eastward.

However, the enemies of the Great Qin Empire are not only from outside Hangu Pass, whether it is Jiuyuan or Shangjun, or outside Wuguan, they are all great enemies.

On the land of Jiuyuan, there were 100,000 Beidi troops guarding against the Huns, which was enough to temporarily block the plot of the Zhao army, and Hu Hai was not worried for a while.

Shangjun and Wei were close to each other, and this time the Qin army went east to point at Wei. For Wei Wangbao, Qin Emperor Hu Hai did not have much pressure.

However, Nanyang County, outside of Wuguan, belongs to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. This is the most feared person by Emperor Hu Hai of Qin at the moment, especially Fan Zeng, the father behind him, who turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands for rain.

It was precisely because Nanyang County was outside Wuguan that for a while, Emperor Qin Yingfei couldn't make a choice in his heart.

After all, in the Great Qin Empire, there is only one person who can be convincing, and that is Tongwu Hou Wang Ben. Even if it is Yanhe, Li Bi and Luo Jia and others, it is far less than Wang Ben's case.

In particular, Hu Hai knew that there were only two generals in the Great Qin Empire who could go east, one was Tongwu Hou Wang Ben, and the other was Yanhe.

Tongwu Hou Wang Ben can't move lightly, and he must guard against the Chu army coming, and he is a little insufficient. Going east is a major event of the Great Qin Empire, and it must be made a huge momentum.

The eastward departure of the Qin army was a declaration of the Great Qin Empire. Equivalent to the will of Emperor Hu Hai of Qin, the current attitude of the Great Qin Empire is naturally as imposing as a rainbow.

……

After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Hai patted the emperor's case, looked at the main hall and said word by word: "There are several major problems that need to be solved. First, how much is it appropriate for the army to go east? Second, who will be the general to coordinate the strategy of Daqin's eastward exit this time? ”

"Third, the Great Qin Empire borders Wei and Zhao in the east and Western Chu in the south; After the army went east, what should be the defense of Jiuyuan County, Shangjun, and Xianyang? ”

"Fourth, how much labor is used, whether the strength of the country has come out, and whether it is frank about the Chinese people? Fifth, the army must be famous, what should it be called? ”

In the face of Emperor Qin's question, for a while, none of the civil and military officials in the hall echoed.

After all, Hu Hai's five consecutive questions directly involve military strategy, and it is not easy to judge rashly if he does not consider it clearly.

After being silent for a long time, General Wang Ben got up from his seat and waited around: "Your Majesty, the 100,000 troops of Jiuyuan must not be moved lightly, and they need to be on guard against border troubles. ”

"The passes of the Great Qin Empire, especially the Hangu Pass and the Wuguan Pass, need at least 50,000 troops to defend them. The minister thought that 50,000 troops should be drawn from the defenders of Hangu Pass, and at the same time, all the new troops should be dispatched. ”

"The old and the new mix an army of 100,000 people, and it is enough to attack it unprepared by surprise and seize Hedong County."

On the top of the wide hall, in front of the civil and military officials of the Great Qin Empire. General Wang Ben took the lead in expressing his attitude for the first time.

Because of this matter, it is directly related to Tongwu Hou Wang Ben. If Wang Ben doesn't speak, there is no one in the palace who is more suitable to speak.

"Hmm."

Nodding slightly, Hu Hai highly recognized Wang Ben's words. And Wang Ben solved two problems at once, and only three remained.

"What the Admiral said is very true!" A gleam flashed under Hu Hai's eyes: "Zuo Xiang, in your opinion, how much labor should be levied on our army when it goes east this time?" ”

The child next to him was quite stunned for a while, such a big deal. Emperor Hu Hai of Qin did not first consult Taiwei Weiyi's opinion, but asked him questions after the general Wang Ben spoke.

His heart was tumbling, and Ziying: "The old minister thought that the old Qin people in Guanzhong had suffered heavy losses in this rebellion. Qing Zhuang either went south to South Vietnam, or died on the battlefield. ”

"In particular, Xin'an killed prisoners, 200,000 prisoner soldiers, fell to the ground, and blood stained the earth red. Today's Qin land is extremely resistant to the conscription of labor. ”

In Ziying's heart, it is best not to levy labor, let the old Qin people recuperate, and strive to recover their vitality in the shortest possible time.

After all, for the Great Qin Empire, the old Qin people are descendants. For the Ying family, the old Qin people are diehards.

The requisition of 50,000 new troops was a great pressure on the old Qin people. It's just that the army has to be requisitioned, and the old Qin people have long had to say that they are suffering.

Just for the foothold of the Great Qin Empire, the old Qin people can be said to grit their teeth and endure the pain, just for the unchanging dream in their hearts.

Now that the 50,000 Qin army has just been established, the requisition of labor once again will inevitably arouse the disgust of the old Qin people. In some places, it is even necessary for the white-haired elderly to perform labor in person.

Ziying bowed deeply to Hu Hai: "The old minister thinks that the number of conscriptions and labors must be controlled within 50,000, too much will inevitably cause turmoil!" ”

He knew that this time it was imperative to levy labor, because the army in the Great Qin Empire simply did not have enough to transport grain to squander.

Defending the major passes and important towns, the 50,000 Qin army was already in danger. If labor is not levied, the 100,000 Qin army will be a tired army.

In front of everyone's eyes, Ziying stood on the top of the hall and talked eloquently. Looking at the high-spirited child, Emperor Qin Hu Hai's expression was slightly stunned.

At this moment, Ziying can no longer see the original downfall. Since he broke out and killed Zhao Gao, he changed the fate of many people.

"50,000 laborers are used to transport grain, I am afraid it will take three months, and this will affect the people and the people!"

Emperor Qin Hu Hai shook his head and looked around at the civil and military officials in the main hall: "From the land of the eight counties, 100,000 laborers have been levied one after another, and grain has been transported to Hangu Pass. ”

"The young and strong who are conscripted and sent to labor will be exempted from this year's national service, and they will not have to participate since the beginning of winter!"

Hu Hai knows that if you want to be conscripted for labor now, you must give a certain amount of sweetness. Otherwise, there is a chance that the resentment in the hearts of the people will be diverted.

"Yes!" Nodding in agreement, Ziying fell silent.

He knew in his heart that Emperor Qin Yingfei was right. The levy of 50,000 servitudes will inevitably prolong the time for completion. In this way, it will inevitably affect farming.

Although it will be extremely difficult to levy 100,000 labor labor at one time compared to affecting farming, with Qin Emperor Hu Hai's policy of exempting from national service, the resistance will be much smaller.

After all, the national service was near Xianyang, and all the counties of the Great Qin Empire rushed to serve in Xianyang. Wading through mountains and rivers and crossing mountains and mountains is a troublesome thing in the first place.

It is precisely for this reason that the old Qin people are reluctant to go out of the township and county, so Huhai's policy will inevitably be able to get a positive response.

So far, among the five questions of Emperor Hu Hai of Qin, three problems have been solved. At the same time, only the choice of the main general of the Qin army to the east and the name of the division remained.

For the ministers of the Great Qin Empire, the fifth question is what the name of the division is, which is not a problem at all. Even if you don't have a name, you can find one.

Therefore, the main thing now is who will be the general!
