Chapter 45 Joining the Army

"Smack!" Qin Yiren tapped his hands lightly, greatly appreciated them, and said with a smile: "The general is far-reaching, he can see through it, and what he says is extremely reasonable, very reasonable. ”

"That's right, listening to the general's words, it's a surprise." Fan Sui also kept high-five, praised vigorously, and said with a smile: "The general is good at using soldiers, and it is a precedent for slowing down the use of troops today!" ”

Since ancient times, I have only heard of "the speed of soldiers", but I have not heard of the use of soldiers to slow down, Wang Jian really set a precedent.

Huang Shigong and Wei Yu nodded heavily and were greatly admired.

"General, how can we uproot the nobles of the Chu State?" Qin Yiren asked questions that everyone was very concerned about.

Seeing the problem and solving the problem are two different things, Wang Jian has extraordinary political wisdom, extraordinary vision of righteous governance, and sees the harm of the Chu family, and wants to uproot it, which is an ambitious plan. However, if a suitable solution is not found, this is just empty talk.

The method is the most important, and everyone's eyes fell on Wang Qian, all of them pricked up their ears and waited for him to explain their doubts.

"Your Majesty, the intention of the ministers was that at the beginning of the war, Daqin gathered a group, about 300,000 horses, and went to the Chu State, posing as if he wanted to seize the Huaishui Valley of the Chu State." Wang Jian has long had all the thoughts about this matter.

"Raiding the land of Huaishui?" Meng Wu was the first to express his position, praised loudly, and said: "The general's plan is very high. The land of Huaishui is the shape of the state of Chu, if Daqin wants to attack Huaishui, the state of Chu will be saved. Chu State's rescue was not tight, and it happened to fall into the general's plan, and the Great Qin army came out and annihilated it in one fell swoop. ”

"yes." Li Si, Cai Ze, Wang Xuan, Fan Zeng, Dun Weak, and Yao Jia nodded heavily. I am very much in favor of Mengwu's analysis.

Huang Shigong and Wei Yi raised their eyebrows. But there was no sound.

Fan Sui pursed her lips. Didn't speak.

"General Meng's words are also wrong." What Meng Wu said was indeed a good way, and the Qin army would win a big battle. However, it was vetoed by Wang Qian, and he only listened to Wang Jian and said: "Daqin is just putting on this posture, not really trying to attack the land of Huaishui, but just to lure the Chu State into being fooled." ”

"A place that doesn't hit the water?" Meng Wu was surprised. A look of disbelief.

The land of Huaishui is the shape of the Chu State, if the Qin State can be defeated, it will be of great benefit to the Qin State, Wang Jian did not fight, this is really puzzling. Not only Meng Wu was puzzled, but also Li Si, Cai Ze, Fan Zeng, Dun Weak, and Yao Jia were also puzzled.

"Huh." Qin Yiren let out a burst of laughter and said, "The general's plan is wonderful!" The general is going to use the land of Huaishui as bait to catch the army of Chu and the children of the big clans, and then annihilate them with one blow. ”

"Oh!" A sudden sound sounded, and Meng Wu and the others were all shocked.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Fan Sui, Huang Shigong, Wei Yi, Meng Wu, Li Si, Cai Ze, Wang Juan, Fan Zeng, Dun Weak, Yao Jia all praised in unison.

"The land of Huaishui is the shape of the Chu State. If Great Qin wants to attack the land of Huaishui, the state of Chu must be saved. This salvation fell into Daqin's plan. However, there are a lot of soldiers in the army of Chu and the children of the family, if all of them are gathered in the land of Huaishui, there are five or six hundred thousand people, or even more, can the general have a strategy to break the enemy? Fan Sui's brows were tightened, quite worried.

The country of Chu has a large number of people, if you go all out and transfer all the troops of the national government and the children of the major families, not to mention the army of five or six hundred thousand, even an army of one million can be mobilized, which is not difficult for the state of Chu. If the Chu State really wants to mobilize such a large number of troops, this will be a huge threat to the Qin State, does the Qin Army have the strength to swallow it in one bite?

Even if the Qin army can swallow it in one bite, will it cause the Qin army to suffer too heavy losses and be unable to fight again?

You must know that tens of millions of troops, no matter how good the Qin army is, it may not be able to swallow it in one bite, and it may pay a heavy price.

If it cannot be won in battle, then it will be difficult to complete the great cause of Qin's unification.

This has to be worrying.

"Yes, General, do you have a good plan?" Huang Shigong's eyes flickered, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but ponder.

"If you can't win the battle, then you can only almost destroy the Chu army first, and then come to pursue. It's just that, in this way, there will be a lot of trouble. Wei Yu was also quite worried.

If there are too many Chu troops, it will be difficult for the Qin army to swallow them in one bite, so they can only retreat to the next best thing, that is, when the Chu army is almost assembled, fight a battle first, and defeat the Chu army. Although the advantage of this is more stable, it will leave a legacy of trouble. If the Chu army could not all concentrate in the land of Huaishui, the Qin state would have to face the problem of pursuit. The Chu army was familiar with the terrain of the Chu State, and if it took advantage of the dangerous terrain to deal with the Qin army, it would be detrimental to the Qin State.

"Don't worry about that." Wang Jian is light and light.

"Not worried?" Fan Sui almost fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Sui just raised his throat, his voice was a little sharp and high-pitched, and asked: "In the Battle of Changping, Zhao sent an army of 500,000 to fight against Great Qin, and Great Qin held on to it for three years, and it ran out of money and food. With the vast number of people in the land of Chu, let alone 500,000 people, even millions of people can be mobilized, how can such a large number of troops not be worried? ”

This question was very reasonable, and Huang Shigong, Wei Yu, Meng Wu, and Li Si all nodded in agreement.

Even Qin Yiren bowed slightly.

"In the Battle of Changping, Zhao sent 500,000 troops, all of whom were elites, and many of them were veterans who had fought the Huns. The Zhao army is known as a strong soldier, well-equipped, well-trained, and strict in military discipline, and its combat power is no worse than that of the Great Qin Ruishi. Wang Jian had a calm face, as if he hadn't heard Fan Sui's questioning, and said slowly: "The army of the Chu State, whether it is the army of the state government or the children of the great families of the family, is poorly equipped, poorly trained, and has not strict orders, and its combat power is extremely low, even if it is a million army, it may not be stronger than the 500,000 army of the Zhao State. This is one of them. ”

Although the state of Chu has a vast territory and a large population, it is the most extensive warring state among the seven warring states, however, the Chu state is the most backward warring state. In the Warring States period, the car battles of the Spring and Autumn Period were still used. By the time of the Warring States period, the chariot had long been replaced by cavalry, but the state of Chu did not change, and a large number of chariots were used, which shows the backwardness of the state of Chu.

As for training and orders, how good can it be for a backward country where the government is controlled by various families?

"Second, the major families have their own interests, although they are forced by the Great Qin and have to send troops, they will definitely keep a hand, and will not be willing to hand over their soldiers to the national government, which makes the Chu army unable to have a unified order, will fight separately, each doing its own thing, even if the Chu army gathers millions of people, it is just a group of rabble." Wang Qian's analysis is more in-depth.

The government of the Chu State was controlled by the five great families of Qu Jingzhao and Huang Xiang, and these families intrigued for their own interests, deceived each other, and even fought to the death, and it was impossible for them to willingly hand over the army.

Although it was forced by the huge pressure of the Qin State, the major families had to send their soldiers to participate in the war, and they would inevitably leave a hand, you will do the hard work, and I will do the good things, there can be no sincere cooperation, there can be no unified order, it is impossible to twist into a rope, in the final analysis, it is just a plate of loose sand, a group of rabble.

"Reasonable, reasonable!" Everyone agreed in unison.

"The third, and most important point, is that the king has already laid out a wonderful chess, and when the time comes, as long as the king gently pushes, the state of Chu may be in civil strife. Even if there is no civil strife, it will be chaotic for a while, as long as we make good use of it, it will make the Chu army distraught and demoralized. Wang Qian's eyes flashed, his voice turned high, and he said loudly.

Wang Jian was talking about Chun Shenjun's usurpation of the country, Chun Shenjun first put Li Yan to sleep, and when Li Yan became pregnant, he would sacrifice Li Yanjin to King Chu Kaolie. King Chu Kaolie didn't know about this, and thought that the burden was his flesh and blood, so he was very happy, and made him the crown prince, and wanted to pass on the country of Chu to him.

If the Qin State exposes this matter at a critical juncture, the Chu State will definitely have civil strife. This is related to the inheritance of the Chu country, can the king of Chu Kaolie not be angry? When he is angry, he may kill him, and Chun Shenjun is afraid of crime and must protect himself. You must know that Chun Shenjun is a disciple of the Huang family of the great family of Chu State, and if he has any movement, it means that the Huang family has moved.

As soon as the Huang family moves, can Qu Jingzhaoxiang's four great families sit idly by? For the sake of their own interests, they will definitely pounce on the Huang clan and bite the Huang clan hard, and in this way, the Chu State will inevitably be turbulent.

The turmoil in the state of Chu will inevitably make the army of the state of Chu unstable and demoralized, and if the Qin army seizes the opportunity to attack, the state of Chu will definitely be defeated.

If it goes further, if there is a palace change in the Chu State, or a civil war, it will be more beneficial to the Qin State.

"Huh!" Everyone burst into laughter, all of them overjoyed.

"Fan Sui's words are too radical, and he has offended a lot, so please forgive the general." Fan Sui stood up and apologized to Wang Qian.

Fan Suishi spoke in a questioning tone, it was indeed a bit excessive, he changed it when he knew his mistake, and immediately pleaded guilty.

"The prime minister's words are serious, Wang Jian doesn't dare to be it." Wang Jian hurriedly returned the gift.

"Your Majesty, the general's plan is very good, and the minister admires it greatly." Fan Sui saluted Qin and said, "It's just that if you want to destroy Chu, Great Qin still needs to train a new army." The minister's intentions, the current Han Wei Qi three places are initially stable, and they can use their strength, this training matter, should be recruited from Han Qi and Wei three places. ”

Although the three places of Han Weiqi are new, and the time is not long, it is only more than a year. However, due to the effective implementation of the Qin law by the Qin State, the people of the country have tasted the sweetness, and these three places have initially stabilized, and recruiting soldiers is not a problem.

The land can be cultivated, and the people can fight, so that the more they fight, the stronger they will be, and they can't rely on the original Qin State for everything.

"The ministers are in favor." Wang Jian and Huang Shigong were very much in agreement.

"Good! That's it! Qin Yiren nodded heavily and said, "The matter of training the troops is entrusted to the general." Wang Juan, Li Si, Huang Shi, Fan Zeng, you must do your best to help. ”

"No!" The crowd gladly accepted the promise.

After Qin Yiren's will came out, something happened that Qin Yiren did not expect, that is, the people of Han, Wei and Qi enthusiastically joined the army, and Wei Wei was the trend. (To be continued......)
