In the upper study, Qin Yiren was discussing important matters with Fan Sui, Huang Shigong, Wang Qian, Wei Yi, Li Mu, Sima Shang, Meng Wu, Li Si, Wang Xuan, Han Fei, and Fan Zeng.

Fan Sui is no longer the prime minister and has retired, however, the matter of this discussion is too important, and Qin Yiren still wants him to come to participate. Fan Sui is wise and talented, and has been in politics for decades and has extremely rich experience, so it is necessary to listen to his opinions.

"It took me a year, I traveled all over the country, and I saw with my own eyes that there are still many problems that need to be solved, but all in all, Daqin is thriving." Qin Yiren said with a smile on his face.

"Huh." All these years of hard work have finally paid off, Huaxia is thriving, it will get better and better, is there anything more encouraging than this? The crowd burst into laughter.

"All kinds of shortcomings have been eliminated, the foundation has been solidified, and it is inevitable that it will become stronger and stronger. When Qin Yiren said this, he changed his words and said: "However, the Baiyue has not been collected, and the Huns have not been broken, which is still a sad thing, and I have to raise swords and soldiers again." Today, I summoned you to come to discuss how to defeat the Huns, and you should speak freely, and I will choose the good and accept it. ”

If the land of Baiyue is not collected, Huaxia is not complete, so Baiyue must be taken.

If the Xiongnu are not broken, there is no peace in the northern part of China, so the Xiongnu must be broken.

This is the consensus of the government and the opposition, in the past, it was because the world was initially decided, and no more swords and soldiers could be raised, and it was extremely necessary for time to get rid of the accumulated shortcomings, recuperate, and stabilize the foundation. This is why there has been no use of soldiers.

Now. Finally, the time has come for a big use of troops. The crowd was very excited.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although Great Qin has a solid foundation and strong national strength, it is not strong enough to use troops against Baiyue and Xiongnu at the same time. Therefore, the old minister asked His Majesty to choose a direction to use troops first. The respected Fan Sui was the first to speak.

"The ministers agree." Huang Shigong, Wei Yu, and Li Mu echoed in unison.

Fan Sui's vision is always so far-reaching and sees problems thoroughly. Today's Qin Dynasty. The national strength is several times stronger than it was before the end of the day, and it can even be said that it has increased tenfold. However, it is still not strong enough to fight two wars at the same time, not to mention, it is not easy to pacify Baiyue and defeat the Xiongnu, so it is necessary to concentrate all efforts to do it, so it is the most correct decision to choose a direction and concentrate all efforts to launch a big war.

"Fan Sui's wisdom is eternal. It's true. Qin Yiren nodded heavily and said, "This is very true. I decided that Great Qin would not fight two wars at the same time, but only one by one. You say, 'Whom to hit first, and then whom?' ”

"Your Majesty, let's talk about this matter from the general." Huangshi Gong rushed to Qin Yidao.

Huang Shigong and Wei Yu are not only proficient in military affairs, but also very politically minded, and they have their own unique opinions. However, as a general, Wang Jian is the most suitable for him.

"Okay then, Wang Qian, you can come." Qin Yiren said to Wang Qian.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Daqin's expedition to foreign races should first go south and then north, first pacify Baiyue in the south, and then concentrate forces to defeat the Xiongnu in the north." Wang Jian did not refuse.

"Good!" A voice of approval sounded, and Huang Shigong and they nodded in unison.

Wang Jian has a very good plan, why should he go south first and then north, instead of north and then south?

It depends on the geography. The south of the land of Baiyue is the sea, and it only needs to pacify Baiyue, and the division of troops will be completed, and there will be no major changes, and the Qin Dynasty will not have too many troops stationed here.

The desert is different, vast and boundless, and there is a vast area north of the desert. Even if the Qin Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, it still needed to send heavy troops in the north. If it is first north and then south, it is equivalent to that the Qin State can only use one hand to deal with Baiyue, instead of one hand, and the other hand is restrained by the desert.

Moreover, precisely because Baiyue's land is limited and there is no strategic depth, it is difficult to deal with the Qin army, and it is not too difficult for the Qin army to pacify Baiyue. The strategic depth of the desert is that if the Xiongnu see a disadvantage and retreat to the north, it will be much more difficult for the Qin army to pursue, and it will be difficult to solve the problem in a short time.

Of course, it was better for the Qin Dynasty to pacify the Xiongnu in a war, and not to fight a protracted war with the Xiongnu. However, when planning, it is important to take into account all the possibilities.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Jian proposed that the south and then the north are the best solution.

"Wang Qian, how long do you think it will take to pacify Baiyue?" Qin Yiren asked.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, if Great Qin sends troops on a large scale, it can be pacified in a year at most." Wang Jian groaned slightly.

"How many soldiers do you need?" Qin Yiren asked.

"Five hundred thousand." Five fingers of Wang Jian's right hand stretched out.

"How dare you?" Qin Yiren frowned.

An army of 500,000 is not a small number, and if nothing else, this logistical burden is a huge problem.

"Your Majesty, although Baiyue does not have sophisticated equipment, strict orders, and advanced tactical tactics, the land of Baiyue is too humid and hot, and there is a lot of miasma. Moreover, the land of Baiyue is full of mountains and wetlands, which is not conducive to Daqin. If there are too few soldiers, the war will drag on. "Wang Jian has been sitting in Changsha for several years, and he has been studying the situation of Baiyue for a long time, and he knows Baiyue best.

The current weather in Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi is hot, miasma, and there is a very complicated terrain, if the local Baiyue is stubborn, if the Qin army is too small, it is inevitable that the war will be prolonged.

It is precisely because of this consideration that in history, Qin Shi Huang dispatched an army of 500,000 to the south to conquer Lingnan.

After the 500,000 troops conquered Lingnan, they were stationed in Lingnan, and when the chaos was at the end of Qin, Zhao Tuo, the leader of this Qin army, ordered the Wuling passage to be blocked, and there was no return of horses.

These 500,000 troops were the elite of a hundred battles, and they personally created the Great Qin Empire, but they abandoned the empire at the critical moment of the Great Qin Empire's survival, which was an important reason for the rapid collapse of the Qin Dynasty. If these 500,000 troops return to the Central Plains battlefield in time, no Liu Bang or any Chu overlord will be opponents, and they will soon be crushed.

"Okay. 500,000 is 500,000, as long as Lingnan is quickly pacified. "Qin Yiren also knows that it is not easy to pacify Lingnan, it is a complex jungle war, which is completely different from the war in the Central Plains, and the Qin army cannot be too few.

"The grain and grass of the 500,000 army is a big problem, but fortunately, in these years, the grain and grass in Shu have not been used, so Li Erlang can be ordered to transport it to Guilin." A smile spread across Qin Yiren's face.

The Qin State has Bashu, which is a very far-sighted move. Qin Yiren is also very far-sighted in governing Bashu, and over the years, Bashu has stored a huge amount of grain and grass, which can finally come in handy.

"After pacifying Baiyue, we will use troops against the Xiongnu, and this matter needs to be planned very early." Huang Shi opened his mouth and said: "The plan is for General Li Mu, and Ranchen thinks that if he wants to defeat the Xiongnu, he has to march on two roads in order to give the Xiongnu the biggest blow." General Li Mu has been in the north for a long time, and he is most familiar with the Xiongnu and can lead an army. There is also an army, who will lead it, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Huang Shigong's words are extremely reasonable, if you want to use soldiers, you must first choose a general. Only by choosing a good general to lead the army and defeat all kinds of affairs of the Huns can it be started in a real sense.

Li Mujiu is in the north, he is familiar with the desert, familiar with the Xiongnu, and he also has extraordinary military talent, he leads an army to the battle, no one will have objections.

The question is who will take command of the other army.

Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Jian and Wei Mi. Both Wang Jian and Wei Yi were convincing for their outstanding military talents, and either of them could command the other.

"After the general pacifies Baiyue, he will sit in Lingnan, and the matter of defeating the Huns will be handed over to Li Mu and Wei Yu." Qin Yiren made a decision.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Yi was overjoyed and saluted Qin Yiren.

Wei Yi is an unborn military genius, he is good at soldiers, and he is even better at strategy, he is Qin Yiren's left arm and right arm, giving advice to Qin Yiren, but he has never led troops to the battlefield. Now that he can finally lead his army into battle to kill the enemy, what could make him happier than that?

"Hey." Wang Jian didn't speak, and sighed lightly.

Breaking the Huns, this is the voice of every Chinese man, Wang Jian can't participate in this battle, how can he not regret it.

"The red dust is lively and the white clouds are cold, Wang Qian, you can't participate in all the excitement, you still have to adapt to the cold." Qin Yiren said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Jian said busily.

Wang Jian has extraordinary political wisdom and his political vision is very good, so it is very good for him to sit in Lingnan, which is reassuring.

Next, everyone discussed some details of the dispatch of troops, and there were no more problems. After all, in order to merge Baiyue and defeat the Xiongnu, Qin Yiren had already issued an order, and the Qin Dynasty had been planning for several years and was quite well prepared.

"Since there is no problem, the general will rush back to Changsha and prepare to march to Lingnan." Qin Yiren said to Wang Qian.

"No." Wang Jian received the order.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and I saw Ying Zheng, Ying Toad, Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Wang Ben coming in.

"I've seen my father." Ying Zheng rushed to Qin Yiren to salute.

"Who is he?" Qin Yiren waved his hand, and his gaze fell on Wang Ben.

Wang Ben's eyes lit up, his gaze fell on Qin Yiren, and he couldn't move away anymore, with a look of excitement on his face.

Qin Yiren was wise, swept away the countries, and unified China, for Wang Ben, it was a legendary existence. He was able to meet Qin Yiren, not to mention how excited he was.

"Son, Hugh is rude." Wang Jian saw Wang Ben's excited appearance in his eyes and scolded, this is too rude.

"Father, he is Wang Ben, the son of the general." Ying Zheng introduced Qin Yiren.

"Wang Ben?" Qin Yiren was greatly surprised, his eyes flashed, he looked at Wang Ben, and praised: "It is worthy of being a general!" Great! Great! ”

Although today's Wang Ben has not yet grown up, he is also extraordinary, which makes people feel good.

"General, this son of yours has been borrowed by me. Let him follow the prince. Qin Yiren said to Wang Qian.

Wang Ben is a good general, let him follow Yingzheng, Qin Yiren is building a team for Yingzheng. Once Yingzheng ascends the throne in the future, he will have a group of his own people, and it will be much smoother.

Although Qin Yiren can leave a group of people for Yingzheng, however, who would be afraid of having more talents?

"Thank you, Your Majesty." This is giving Wang Ben a bright future, how can Wang Jian not be happy. (To be continued......)
