Section 547 The King of Qin who is in a dilemma
King Qin thought for a while and shook his head: "Bai Qi, it's not that the widow doesn't support you. As for the use of troops, according to what we have discussed, at least five of the seven must support them before they can use troops. ”
"I understand."
The king of Qin is talking about seven people, that is, Wei Ran, Bai Qi, Bai Hui, Xiangguo Xunguan, the imperial envoy Li Tan, the general Sima Cuo, and the supervision envoy Ying Li.
This supervisor Ying Li represents the interests of the old nobles of the Qin State.
General Sima Cuo, although he can no longer represent the Qin military, as an old general with outstanding achievements in the Qin army, he naturally has a vote of power.
Xun Kuang and Li Tan represent the civil official group above the court. This civilian-bureaucratic group includes Qin people and a large number of foreign celebrities, and the Qin State appoints officials fairly and openly, without discrimination.
As for Wei Ran, Bai Qi, and Bai Hui, they represent themselves.
In the end, there were two more votes, and one vote for King Qin was used as two votes, which was used when there was a dispute.
Empress Dowager Xuan has one vote, but one veto.
This decree is applicable to all major events of the Qin state, such as the declaration of war on foreign countries, the revision of the regulations of the Qin law, and so on.
The details of the small regulations of Qin Law do not need to be voted on.
Bai Qi wanted to say something, but King Qin suddenly spoke: "Come on, prepare wine and food, and the widow will accompany Wu Anjun to drink two glasses." ”
King Qin's words are wonderful.
It was not for Bai Qi to accompany him, but for him to accompany Bai Qi for two drinks.
Bai Qi sighed slightly in his heart when he heard this, King Qin's words were equivalent to persuading him not to go to war.
King Qin called his attendant to the front and whispered a few words.
Soon, the food and drinks were ready to be delivered.
A very rare hump was also added, and this dish was only available for large banquets, but King Qin still ordered Bai Qi to prepare one.
"Bai Qi, I Yingji understand, you haven't led a leader for two years. The war on the Tatsukuni Peninsula is not worth mentioning at all, and Wajima is not even a battle. Come, I salute you with this cup. ”
The King of Qin called himself by his own name, which made Bai Qi say anything else.
After Bai Qi poured a glass of liquor into his stomach, King Qin said: "Next year, the Lingqu will be repaired, and the calculation time may be about March, and May at the latest." ”
Hearing this, his eyes lit up, but he immediately shook his head again.
Because Sima Co was guarding the southwest, how could he rob Sima Co of his job.
King Qin smiled heartily: "Bai Qi, you have forgotten the age of the old general Sima." Fighting in the south, there are many mountains, and the old general's body is no longer enough to work so hard. So I plan to recall the old general back to Xianyang, and then transfer Meng Yu to Hanshangdang County, and also draw Wang Yu back and put him in the Yiyang camp. ”
Bai Qi shook his head: "The old general will definitely not stay in Xianyang." ”
"Then Yiyang Camp and let Wang Yi go south to keep an eye on the Chu State."
"Where's Bai Hui?"
Bai Qixin said, how can there be no Bai Hui's life, although Bai Hui is not a super-first-class commander, but he is also a figure who can stand alone, and Bai Hui's deterrent power is much higher than the sum of Meng Fu and Wang Di.
King Qin looked around, and waved his hand again to signal the guards here to retreat.
Then Qin Wang said: "You should have seen the big picture of the Central Plains?" ”
"Yes."
"So what is further south of the Chu State?"
"South Vietnam!"
King Qin asked again: "What is Nanyue further south?" ”
"There's an island, a very big island."
Bai Qi naturally saw Bai Hui's big picture of the world, and when he said this, Bai Qi understood: "Could it be that Bai Hui wants to occupy that island?" ”
"He didn't plan to occupy the island, he didn't have to occupy the island. He had the idea to enter Chu Ting (Guangzhou) by water, and then you went south from the northern land and destroyed South Vietnam in one fell swoop. Then down the coast to the south, Indochina is a land of true abundance. ”
Bai Qi nodded: "I heard Bai Hui say that rice is grown there three seasons a year, and there are countless high-quality wood, countless spices, and countless dyes. But it also has the same problem on the Dianchi side, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there are many poisonous insects. ”
"Jiupu's soldiers are already very well trained, so Jiupu soldiers will like to fight over there. We don't ask for depth, just find some good places to occupy, and there will be huge profits. ”
After listening to Bai Qi's speech, King Qin personally poured wine for Bai Qi: "How is it?" ”
"Yes!" Bai Qi nodded heavily.
When there is a fight, he is happy.
King Qin said to Bai Qi: "You concentrate on military affairs, there are some things you don't know. What is the most profitable in the Western Regions, besides silk, is spices. Listening to Bai Hui, those people in the extreme west, the women are a little older, their whole bodies are stinky, and they need spices. ”
Bai frowned, and King Qin laughed: "Don't talk about this, think about it, so that the wine is not fragrant." ”
"Yes, don't talk about it."
King Qin continued to say spices: "As far as the spices we know at the moment, none of the four most precious spices in the world are produced in our Central Plains. Ambergris is hard to find, but agarwood is only available in the South China Sea. ”
Bai Qi shook his head: "Your Majesty, although I also understand that without money, there is no military rations and no ordnance. But what I want to say is that the biggest advantage of taking Chu Pavilion is that in the future battle to destroy Chu, our Qin army wants to go from south to north, or from north to south, and Chu has no danger to defend. ”
"Yes, yes, that's it. Lay out first, and then Armageddon when the time comes. Before I came out of Xianyang, several important ministers discussed. This is a great good thing to dominate the world and let all the people no longer suffer from war. But Zhao can surrender without a fight, or Chu can be willing to fight without a fight. ”
"No, so the minister wants to weaken them."
Bai Qi is not wrong in what he said, the opponent who is constantly weakening, and the Qin State will slowly become stronger, which is also beneficial to the Armageddon.
In fact, that's what the Qin State did in real history. And it's a successful strategy.
However, this time is different.
King Qin said: "Bai Qi, it's not that I don't agree with your opinion, and I don't say that you are wrong. But right now I'm waiting, waiting for the big killer. Do you think that thing is really equipped in the Qin army, can you use 30,000 Qin troops against 100,000 Zhao troops? ”
"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers can't trust Bai Hui, but that the war depends on people. That thing is awesome, very powerful. When the Qin army is really equipped, it is not a problem that 10,000 Qin troops can defeat 100,000 Zhao troops. But the minister was a little uneasy in his heart, afraid that after our Qin army had those, he would lose his blood. ”
Hiss......
King Qin patted his head lightly: "What you said seems to be reasonable. ”
Bai Qi immediately added: "Your Majesty, practicing for a long time without fighting is not the style of our Qin army. A strong army is fought, not trained. ”
"It's also reasonable."
"Your Majesty, fight."
Bai Qi once again intended to convince the King of Qin.
The King of Qin was also a little undecided, and now the civil official group headed by Xun Guo decided to gather strength to break the enemy with one blow. And the military attache group represented by Bai Qi, their tactic is encroachment.
No one is wrong, this makes King Qin embarrassed.
