Section 42 Exhaustion of Qin's Strategy

Bai Hui drew a line on the map: "This river is called Qinghe, you offer a plan to let the king of Han form an alliance with Qin, and send excellent water engineers to help Qin, this is a canal at least two hundred miles long, called Xingqin Canal, which can help Qin increase 100,000 hectares of fertile land, and then give Qin some Han farming technology, and is willing to form an alliance with Qin." ”

Gongsun Long understood, and even he believed it, this was a tired plan.

Sima Jin glared at Bai Hui angrily, he couldn't imagine that Bai Hui would come up with this poisonous plan for the enemy country. At this time, Gongsun Long asked, "How to crack this plan." ”

"There is no need to crack it, it just so happens that the Qin State will not fight large-scale wars with foreign countries in recent years, so that the people of the world think that the Qin people are stupid and deceived by the Koreans. The canal can be built in several phases, the first of which can increase the number of hectares of fertile land in two years at most. ”

After Bai Hui explained, Gongsun Long stood up and saluted: "Understood, then South Korea can open its mouth to Fencheng." It even divided the east of the river equally. ”

Bai Hui nodded: "Yes." ”

Sima Jin looked confused, and Wen Luo said to Sima Jin on the side: "With your resourcefulness, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand Zuo Shuchang's plan in another five years." ”

Sima Jin asked rhetorically: "Do you understand?" ”

Wen Luo shook her head: "I don't understand. ”

At this time, Gongsun Long said: "Actually, I don't understand, but just do it according to Zuo Shuchang's instructions, this strategy must have a back-up move, there are changes, and now we just need to do the things in front of us." ”

Gongsun Long is a smart man, he clearly knows that this plan can be cracked, but he can't think of a way to crack it.

Bai Hui couldn't say how to crack it, and it would be a hassle if people knew about it.

The strategy that Bai Hui said actually happened in history, but it happened fifty years later, and it was also a tired Qin plan implemented by Korea against the King of Qin, and this plan is:

Zheng Guoqu.

Bai Hui didn't know the detailed process of Zheng Guoqu, but only knew that later generations had such comments on Zheng Guoqu.

Han tired Qin and was used by Qin.

As for letting this strategy happen fifty years in advance, it is not clear whether it can be used by Qin Bai Hui, but there are two points that Bai Hui understands very well, in later generations, he is constantly building water power, so building water power will definitely be useful. Besides, he built many small canals in Dingyang, which did increase nearly 100,000 acres of land.

Therefore, it is certainly useful to build water power.

Gongsun Long discussed this plan with Bai Hui for a long time, and in the blink of an eye, it was the ninth day after Bai Hui let Han Ji see the coal stove, and King Han still couldn't make up his mind, but he planned to meet Bai Hui in person.

At this time, Gongsun Long found Han Ji.

When Han Ji saw Gongsun Long, he immediately said, "My king is preparing to discuss this matter with your general. ”

Gongsun Long threw himself down in front of Han Ji: "Gongzi, I finally have to meet Gongzi alone, I am not a Qin person, but a Zhao person, the Sanjin Dynasty is a family, my Gongsun Long was forcibly plundered by the Qin people in Hedong, and a group of friends were taken to Xianyang as coolies, so I had to do something for the Qin people." ”

"Sir, please get up."

Hearing the name of Gongsun Long, Han Ji immediately tidied up his clothes and bowed.

"Mr. suffered, I just went to Qin General Baihui and asked him to let you go."

Gongsun Long shook his head: "Right now, I am doing things for the Qin people, and I can take the opportunity to find out the news of the Qin people. ”

"What is your plan, sir?" Han Ji did not doubt it, because Gongsun Long was indeed a Zhao person, and he was a well-known celebrity.

Gongsun Long said: "Please give cloth and pen and ink, and drink back left and right." ”

The things that Gongsun Long wanted were delivered immediately, and with his memory, Gongsun Long quickly drew a simple map, and Han Ji could see at a glance that this was a map around Xianyang City, but there were some dotted lines that he didn't understand.

"Childe, please see, there is a shortage of water in the north of Xianyang, and my plan is a tired plan. Han Ke sent a man to the Qin State to persuade the Qin people to build a water canal, Xianyang North is rocky, this water canal is 500 miles long The Qin people need to use 200,000 strong labor to build it for ten years. ”

This figure was calculated in detail by Gongsun Long, and with the current engineering capacity of various countries, the number of canals built in the mountains, hills, and gravel for 500 miles, and 200,000 people built in 13 years is the correct figure.

Han Ji saw the beauty of it: "Such a long canal costs people and money!" ”

"Yes, it is to consume the national strength of the Qin people, as long as the King of Qin believes that when such a canal is built, there will be countless fertile fields in the north and east of Xianyang, the Qin people will be convinced, just like Bai Hui's villain tempted you with the huge profit of coal."

Hearing the word temptation, Han Ji immediately asked, "What is Bai Hui's conspiracy?" ”

"What he wants is big, and what he really wants is Zhiyi. The Zhiyi area is 200 li, and the grain produced can feed his 70,000 soldiers and horses, and the Qin people do not smelt iron, and coal is only used for firewood. Since it is useless, he naturally has to take it out in exchange for enough benefits, so he specially came to Handu. ”

Reasonable, Gongsun Long said it very reasonably.

Han Ji didn't believe it, but he also believed it.

Gongsun Long was a well-known sophist in the Warring States, and for him to say these words, he was pediatric.

"Also, he pointed his sword at Dayangyi, if he can get it, he will get it, and if he can't get it, he will make full preparations for the capture of Dayangyi."

Han Ji exclaimed: "He wants Dayangyi, what does Dayangyi have?" ”

Dayangyi is now under the Wei State, and it belongs to the southeasternmost territory in Hedong, where there is no fertile land, and there is not much oil and water, so Han Ji does not understand.

Gongsun Long explained: "It was one of the major crossings of the Yellow River, and Bai Hui wanted to build another pottery. ”

Han Ji nodded continuously: "I see, located in the four major transportation routes of Chu, Han, Wei, and Qin, the merchants of Chu State have a huge transaction with him every year, and the goods of Dingyang can go directly down the river to Fengling, which is really a wonderful plan." This son underestimated this Zuo chief, his army is extraordinary, and his skills in the world are also very good. ”

The location of Dayangyi in later generations is in the north of Sanmenxia.

Gongsun Long added: "There is still Luoyi there to do business. ”

"Yes, and Luoyi."

Luoyi is where the Zhou royal family is located, which is now Luoyang.

Han Ji nodded: "If it is really half of Hedong County, then it is only half of the income from the coal mines in Fencheng, this Bai Zuoshu is really a scheming person, this son is really moved, and what he is most worried about at the moment is what conspiracy he will have." ”

"Don't believe him, the coal mines in Fencheng are more than he said, and it's not just Fencheng, I heard that he once discussed with Bai Qi secretly, Xinjiang has a secret room in the underground palace, but this is just a rumor, the two brothers inadvertently got a cowhide after they conquered Beiqucheng, and there was a picture on the cowhide."

Another temptation, this is already Gongsun Long's last card.

No matter how much it is, it will be suspected by King Han.
