Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Strategy for Destroying the Country (II)

Finally, when it comes to the strategy of destroying the country, this is the core of this discussion, and only by coming up with a strategy of destroying the country can the war of destroying the country be carried out.

Although Qin Yiren has long made arrangements for the destruction of the country, a unified strategy has not yet been formed, and it still needs to be further improved and sublimated.

Everyone's eyes flashed, they were very excited, and they held their heads high, you know, the next step is to destroy the country, who can not be excited? Who can not be excited?

"This is a battle for unification, not a battle for hegemony, benevolence and righteousness should come first, killing second, and if you can, you won't kill." Le Yi took a breath and was the first to express his opinion.

The battle for hegemony is to fight and leave, a hammer of business, burning, killing and looting does not matter. The battle of unification will not work, because the place where it is fought is Qin's, and if the killing is too heavy, it will definitely cause hatred, which will greatly increase the resistance to Qin's great cause of unification, and will increase unnecessary losses.

Yes, if you can, if you can, you won't kill, you have to win the hearts of the people as your business, Le Yi's words are to the point.

"Good!" All the people proclaimed goodness and greatly agreed.

"Of course, the killer will not be merciful." Le Yi added again, murderous.

In the process of destroying the country, there must be people who do not want the Qin State to achieve great causes, and will definitely try their best to obstruct the great cause of the unification of the Qin State.

"That's it!" The crowd was very approving.

"What Mr. Le Yi said is very reasonable, but I would like to add a few words." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and said: "When the widow was hostage in Handan, according to the widow's personal experience, those who opposed Great Qin were not only the clans, nobles, and powerful people of other countries, because they had privileges. Can run rampant. You can fish and flesh the people of the country. You can do whatever you want. These people, no matter whether Daqin is co-opted and bought, it is difficult to work, if they dare to resist, they will be killed! ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "The other part of the people is the common people and slaves who have been oppressed by the clans, nobles, and powerful of the nations. They work hard all year round to make cattle and horses, but in the end they can't eat enough and don't have enough clothing, and they yearn for Daqin. The widow once heard it with his own ears in the black shop (slave market), and the slave once sighed that 'he hated not to be a Qin person'. For the common people and slaves, it is necessary to preserve as much as possible and kill as little as possible. ”

Qin Yiren divided the people of Shandong at that time into two types: the ruler and the ruled. For the rulers, they were vested interests, and the Qin state wanted to go down for a day, that is, to deprive them of their privileges. They will definitely not agree to fight the Qin State to the end. For these rulers. Nothing to say, kill!

The ruled, that is, the slaves of the common people, they are oppressed and exploited by the rulers, although they are cattle and horses, tired and tired, but in the end they make wedding dresses for the rulers, they are not enough to eat, not warm, and have no personal security, and often their families will be ruined.

For the ruled, regardless of whether they are high or low, the Qin State is one country, and the Qin State is one and the same law, which is their paradise, and they hope that the Qin State will call and rescue them from the dire situation, and they will definitely support the Qin State.

After Qin Yiren's addition, Le Yi's proposal became clearer and clearer, and everyone had a sense of brightness and praised in unison.

"In the order of destroying the country, in the opinion of the ministers, it is first Korea, then Wei, then Qi, Chu, and finally Yan." Bai Qi was not far behind, and hurriedly said: "Korea is on the only way for Great Qin to advance eastward, if Han is not destroyed, Great Qin will not be able to advance eastward, and South Korea will be the first to be destroyed." After the destruction of Han, it will be the Wei State, and only by destroying the Wei State can the Great Qin Army come to the Qi State. ”

The State of Qi and the State of Qin are the farthest apart, and only by destroying the State of Wei can the State of Qin border the State of Qi and use troops against the State of Qi.

"After the destruction of Qi, there will be more borders between Great Qin and Chu, which will be more convenient for the use of troops, and it will be easier to destroy Chu." Bai Qi continued to dissect.

The state of Chu is too big, the east and west are far apart, known as the "country of five thousand miles", and there are not many borders with the Qin state in the westernmost part, so if the Qin state wants to destroy Chu now, it will be difficult to hit the key point of the Chu state. This is also an important reason why the Qin State has pressed the Chu State for hundreds of years, but the Chu State is injured but not killed.

After the destruction of the Qi State, the territory of the Qin State was bordered by the seashore in the east, and it had a broad border with the Chu State, so it was much easier to attack the key points of the Chu State.

"The reason why the Yan Kingdom was destroyed in the end was because the Yan Kingdom was close to the north, and after the Yan Kingdom was destroyed, it would have to deal with the Hu people." Bai Qi finally analyzed and said: "Yes, the Yan State will be destroyed in the end, and the Hu people in the north can be resisted by the Yan State, and it is more convenient for Great Qin to concentrate all his efforts to wipe out the countries." At the same time, after the destruction of Yan, Daqin's strength has been concentrated, and if the Hu people dare to come and be presumptuous, they will fight it. ”

Although the Yan state was weak, it was a barrier against the Hu people in the north, and leaving it for the last to destroy it would make it easier for the Qin state to concentrate its forces. If the Yan State is destroyed first, the Qin State will have to allocate a part of its forces to resist the Hu people in the north, which will disperse the forces of the Qin State and be unfavorable to the Qin State.

"Good!" The crowd proclaimed goodness.

In history, the last one to be destroyed was the Qi State, not the Yan State, because the crown prince Dan sent Jing Ke to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, which angered Qin Shi Huang, changed the order of annihilation, and destroyed the Yan State in advance.

From a strategic point of view, it would not be beneficial for Qin to destroy the Yan State in advance. Because later facts also proved that the destruction of the Yan Kingdom was divided into two parts, first Wang Jian captured Jicheng, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, and then Wang Ben led his troops to chase into Liaodong.

This is to destroy one country and mobilize two troops, and the consumption is too great. Of course, Prince Dan had already sent assassins, and Qin Shi Huang almost lost his life, if he didn't kill Yan in time, he would not be able to punish Yan Guo, which had to be done.

Now, the crown prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom is still young, and it is impossible to send Jing Ke to assassinate Qin Yiren, so there is no need to destroy Yan in advance, and it is most appropriate to leave it to the end.

"For every country that is destroyed, it must first have diplomatic relations and isolate the country so that it cannot receive assistance." Fan Sui finally grabbed the opportunity to speak, and his words were amazing.

"Good! Extremely good! All the people proclaimed goodness.

"Huh!" Qin Yiren was overjoyed, and said with appreciation: "The prime minister is worthy of being a wise man who proposed a strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, this hand is ruthless enough!" ”

"Although the minister's strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack is good, if it is not perfected by the king with 'each break', the minister will not propose this strategy." Fan Sui said humbly.

Fan Sui's strategy of "long-distance and close attack" is indeed a miraculous plan. But. Not perfect. When Qin Yiren first returned to Xianyang. Qin Yiren proposed to add four words, that is, "each break", so that the miraculous strategy of long-distance and close-range attack is more perfect.

Now it's time to show the power of this trick.

"Ever since Su Qin proposed the merger, the merger has always been a headache for Great Qin, and it will recur from time to time. Now, if Great Qin wants to wipe out the nations, he must guard against the resurgence of the ashes. What the prime minister said is extremely reasonable. Wei Yi's eyes flashed, and he said, "This matter can be handed over to Dun Qiao and Yao Jia to deal with." The king can give them a lot of money, so that they can let go of their hands and feet to buy the world's scholars and promote the national policy for Daqin. They could buy a large number of important ministers of the nations, and if they could not do so, they would send assassins to kill them. ”

Wei Yi's words, in a nutshell, are "heavy money in front, daggers follow". Historically, it was Wei Yu who proposed this policy, which benefited the Qin State immensely.

"Good! Pick! A round of applause rang out.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured. We've trained a large number of Assassins to come in handy. "Don weak and Yao Jia are excited.

Dun Weak and Yao Jia's intelligence is extraordinary. Deeply understand Qin Yiren's intentions and handle them appropriately, which makes Qin Yiren very pleased.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although the Xiongnu in the north were defeated by the monarch, suffered heavy losses, and the millions of troops were wiped out, however, the north still cannot be taken lightly." Wang Jian raised his eyebrows, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and said: "The minister's intention, except for those that cannot be mobilized by the army of Great Qin stationed in various passes, the rest should be divided into two. ”

"Oh." Wang Qian's suggestion was a bit unexpected, and everyone was amazed, and they all stared at him.

"Part of it is used to carry out the war of destroying the country, and part of it is stationed in Jiuyuan to deter the desert, and it can also block the way for King Yan to flee to the desert." Wang Jian continued.

"Good! Extremely good! The crowd agreed.

Although the Xiongnu were wiped out by Qin Yiren and millions of people, they had to flee back to Mobei to lick their wounds and recover their vitality, and they could not go south in the short term. However, several years have passed since this incident, and the vitality of the Xiongnu should have recovered a lot, and if the Xiongnu could not go south in a big way, they could go south on a small scale to cause nuisance.

If this is the case, there will be no peace at the border, and this matter has to be guarded against.

Historically, Qin Shi Huang divided the army of Qin into two, one part under the leadership of Wang Jian to carry out the war of destroying the country, and part of it was stationed in Jiuyuan under the leadership of Meng Tian to deter the desert, and at the same time block the road of the Central Plains to the desert, so that the kings of the Central Plains from fleeing to the desert to trouble.

"Huangshi, why don't you speak?" Qin Yiren asked at Huang Shigong.

Today's atmosphere is very good, everyone is talking freely, talking to grab, slow to be robbed of the opportunity by others. Huang Shigong has always been resourceful, and he didn't speak until now, which surprised Qin Yiren a little and had to be named.

"Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is a bit arrogant." Yellowstone is fair.

"Transgression? You're too careful. Qin Yiren said with a smile: "Today is to speak freely, the speaker is not guilty, and he can say whatever he thinks in his heart." ”

"Your Majesty, the words of the ministers are indeed a bit arrogant." Huang Shigong affirmed the sentence, and then said his thoughts, and said: "Most of the ministers in the court are old ministers, and most of them are already old and their energy is difficult to continue. In the Great War of Annihilation, there were many official duties, and they were extremely tired, and the ministers were afraid that they would be difficult to support, so they asked the ministers to promote a group of young and powerful officials before the Great War of Annihilation to deal with the worst things. ”

Huang Shigong's words are indeed a bit arrogant, but he is reasonable. The current Qin State, although it is full of talents, is a lot of old ministers, and the current Bai Qi and Le Yi are the best proof of this. The two of them are too old to stay, and if they are allowed to handle official business, it will be extremely detrimental to the war of annihilation.

You must know that the war is together, the military situation is like fire, the official affairs are like cows, and the complexity of affairs is indescribable, which must be done by young and strong people, like Bai Qi and Le Yi's physical condition is definitely not competent.

"Hey!" Everyone's eyes focused on Bai Qi, and they all sighed.

Bai Qi fought all his life, and he did not destroy a country, seeing that the opportunity came, but he was too sick to stay, who could not sigh for him? You must know that the Qin State can be as strong as it is today, and it has a lot to do with Bai Qi. If there is no vain to fight all his life and create a brilliant future for the Qin State, can the Qin State carry out a war of annihilation?

Not to mention anything else, if there was no Battle of Changping, the Qin State would never be able to launch a unified war at the moment, and it would still be fighting to the death with its fierce rival Zhao State. (To be continued......)
