This question is exactly what everyone thinks, and they all look at Wang Jian and wait for him to speak.

"The Six Kingdoms of Shandong, the Zhao State has been destroyed, and the strong Zhao does not exist, but Daqin will go down for a day, and there will still be a difficult battle." Wang Jian began to analyze, and said: "The four kingdoms of Qiyan, Wei and Han are not difficult to destroy, and those who are difficult to destroy are only the Chu country." ”

"This ......" King Qin Zhao was a little surprised, and said: "Although the Chu State is big, it is a man who dares to fight, and he has fought with Great Qin for hundreds of years, and he has been defeated repeatedly, why is Chu the most difficult to destroy?" ”

The largest land in Shandong is the Chu State, with a large population, vast land and abundant products. However, Chu was the most conservative Warring States, and at the end of the Warring States Period, it was still using the car battles of the Spring and Autumn Period, which was far from keeping up with the pace of the times. It is precisely because of this that the State of Chu has been pressed and fought by the State of Qin for hundreds of years, and it has lost a lot of land.

A large part of the land of the Qin State today was seized by the Chu State, such as the land of Qianzhong and the Hanjiang Plain, which were all taken from the Chu State.

In the impression of King Qin Zhao, the state of Chu is a soft persimmon, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all, but Wang Jian said that the state of Chu is the most difficult to destroy, and King Qin Zhao really doesn't believe it.

Among the six kingdoms of Shandong, King Qin Zhao attaches the most importance to Zhao State, because of the success of Zhao Wuling's "Hufu Cavalry Shooting", Zhao State has a strong pawn who can fight well, and can compete with Qin State. It is precisely because of this that there was the Changping War. Even a strong opponent like Zhao Guo has been wiped out, and he still cares about a mere Chu State?

"yes." As soon as King Qin Zhao's words fell, a chorus of echoes sounded.

This time, even Fan Sui and Bai Qi didn't believe it anymore.

Fan Sui is a great talent, and his wisdom is eternal, however. He was not good at military affairs; And Bai Qi is the opposite. The campaign is top-notch. But he is not good at politics. And Wang Qian's conclusion is exactly the conclusion of combining the strengths of these two people, and it is impossible for the two of them not to be surprised.

"The indestructible person of Chu is not because Chu has the most extensive land, the largest number of mouths, and the most abundant products, but because the hidden strength of Chu is immeasurable." Wang Jian then dissected and said, "We all know. The state of Chu is controlled by the big families, and in addition to the royal family, the five major families of Qu, Jing, Zhao, Huang, and Xiang are the most powerful. These big families not only have land and cities, but also children and soldiers. In order to control the government and seize more land and cities, these families will do everything they can, even if it is infighting, even if it is to make the Chu State lose the battle......"

"Hmm." King Qin Zhao nodded heavily.

Fan Sui also agreed. Bow slightly.

The strength of the state of Chu is the most powerful, and the reason why it has not been reflected in foreign wars. It's not that Chu doesn't have strength, but because Chu's domestic consumption is too powerful, in modern terms, it is "an expert in the civil war, an outsider in the foreign war", they are a good hand in internal fighting, you fix me, I fix you, there are all kinds of tricks. However, once he encountered the powerful opponent of the Qin State, he was helpless.

“…… Although Great Qin won many battles against Chu in the past, it was because Great Qin fought a battle for hegemony, and only seized part of the land and cities, not to destroy the Chu State. Wang Qian's analysis became deeper and deeper, and said: "And Great Qin wants to dominate the world, to destroy the Chu State, there is a way that 'there are eggs under the nest', if the Chu State is destroyed, these families will inevitably not survive, for their own land and city, these families will inevitably unite to resist Qin." ”

As we all know, the unification war launched by Qin Shi Huang was fought very smoothly, even an opponent like Qiang Zhao and a genius commander like Li Mu had no choice but to win the Qin army. However, the Qin State suffered a great defeat in the Chu State, and the 200,000 Qin army was defeated by Xiang Yan, why is this so?

It lies in the fact that Qin Shi Huang underestimated the enemy. The state of Qin and the state of Chu fought for hundreds of years and won many battles, but Qin Shi Huang did not take the state of Chu seriously. It wasn't until Li Xin's defeat that Qin Shi Huang suddenly woke up to the fact that the state of Chu could not be taken lightly, so he had to reactivate Wang Jian and give Wang Jian 600,000 troops.

Facts have proved that Wang Qian's judgment is completely correct. The state of Chu dispatched a total of 400,000 troops to resist Qin, and the two armies held each other for more than a year.

The 400,000 army of Chu is not all the army of Chu, and there are still many troops in Chu, that is, the children of the family, which are still hidden in their respective fiefs. These 400,000 troops, a large part of which are also from major families, they know that the Qin State is going to destroy the Chu State, if the Chu State is destroyed, they will be finished, although they are unwilling, but they have to take out their soldiers to fight against Qin.

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! King Qin Zhao clapped his hands lightly, greatly admiring.

"Good! Pick! Bai Qi high-fived and cheered loudly.

"Listening to General Wang's words, Fan Sui suddenly woke up, and the Chu State is difficult to destroy!" Fan Sui sighed with emotion.

Everyone was amazed.

"Wang Qian, how many soldiers do you think it will take to destroy Chu?" King Qin Zhao asked.

"Six hundred thousand!" Qin Yiren knew the number of troops Wang Jian sent to destroy Chu, and secretly said in his heart.

"Seven hundred thousand!" Wang Jian didn't think about it, and reported a shocking number.

"Seven hundred thousand?" King Qin Zhao, Bai Qi, Fan Sui, and Sima Terrier exclaimed in unison, their mouths wide open.

Even Qin Yiren was surprised, and said secretly in his heart: "Wang Qian, what are you making a fuss?" Didn't you destroy 600,000 Chu in history? How did you become 700,000 again? ”

When the thought turned, Qin Yiren had already understood, and secretly said in his heart: "I see." 700,000 indeed! The current state of Chu is even stronger than the state of Chu during the time of Qin Shi Huang, because Li Yuan did not mess up the state of Chu. Well, it's time to support Li Yuan and let him mess up the Chu State. ”

It is true that the current state of Chu is more powerful than the state of Chu during the period of Qin Shi Huang. Even though Chun Shenjun was very selfish and assigned a lot of land and cities to his name, he and Li Yuan were much less harmful to the Chu State. If the Qin State sends troops to destroy Chu at the moment, it will really need an army of 700,000.

"Why so much?" King Qin Zhao's face was full of shock: "Even if it is the Battle of Changping, it will only dispatch 580,000 troops." ”

In the famous Changping War, the Qin State sent only 580,000 troops, and it would take 70 to destroy Chu, which is really amazing.

"Your Majesty, in the Battle of Changping, Great Qin originally just wanted to defeat the Zhao State, and did not think about destroying Zhao." Wang Jian pointed out the analysis and said: "And this is the battle to destroy the country." Not only to win on the battlefield. It is also necessary to uproot the power of the Chu State. Leave nothing to chance. If it is only a decisive victory on the battlefield, it does not need 700,000, but 400,000. However, if the army is not enough, it cannot block the retreat of the Chu State, and once the Chu State retreats to the land of Baiyue, it will be endless troubles. ”

The land of Baiyue is now part of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Zhejiang, which was a bitter cold and barren land at that time. Moreover, the land of Baiyue nominally belonged to the state of Chu. If the army of the Qin State presses the border, and the Chu State cannot defeat it, it is likely to retreat to the land of Baiyue, and the Chu State will rely on this to harass the Qin State, which will really cause endless trouble.

In history, Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to destroy Chu, which is a shocking number, and even Qin Shi Huang was terrified. However, Wang Jian did a good job. uprooted the power of the Chu State, and did not let the Chu State escape to the land of Baiyue.

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! King Qin Zhao was stunned. Loud appreciation.

"That's right. The battle to destroy Chu was first and foremost to prevent the Chu State from escaping to Baiyue. Fan Sui agreed loudly.

"Reasonable, reasonable." Bai Qi also nodded heavily, looked at Wang Jian with great appreciation, and said with a look of relief: "Your Majesty, Wang Jian is a great talent, and he is worthy of a heavy responsibility. ”

"Haha!" King Qin Zhao loved to hear these words and laughed loudly.

"Your Majesty, Wang Jian will temporarily serve as General Lantian at the discretion of the minister, and the matter of training the troops will be handed over to him." Bai Qi rushed to King Qin Zhao.

"Good!" King Qin Zhao immediately decided to hand over the important task of training soldiers to Wang Qian.

Qin Yiren also planned to do so, even if Bai Qi didn't recommend Wang Jian to train the army, Qin Yiren would also recommend him.

"Wang Jian said that he would train 500,000 soldiers, but now it seems that there are still a few of them." King Qin Zhao groaned slightly, and said: "After sweeping away the countries, they still have to be garrisoned, which requires a lot of troops, and the will of the widow will train 300,000 soldiers for a period of three years. Then, train them one by one, so as not to hurt the country. ”

If it is a one-time training of 500,000 soldiers, the Qin State will have to be recruited on a large scale now, which will hurt the country. Doing it in batches will solve this problem.

"No." This is the best way to deal with it, and there will be no objection from everyone.

"Inhuman, do you have anything else to say?" The matter of life and training has been settled, and King Qin Zhao is extremely satisfied with today's discussion.

"Yes." Qin Yiren nodded and said, "I think that Great Qin should take this opportunity to vigorously run a school. ”

"Running a school?" King Qin Zhao's white eyebrows were raised, quite surprised.

Fan Sui, Bai Qi, and Sima Terrier are all puzzled.

"When I say running a school, I don't mean just one school, but to run many schools in Qin." Qin Yiren knew their question and said, "Since Shang Jun changed the law, Great Qin has become stronger and stronger, why is this so? Because Daqin can recruit talents and make good use of talents. The prime ministers of all dynasties since Shang Jun, such as Zhang Yi, Gan Mao, Suihou, and Fan Cheng, are all from Shandong, but they can be used in Qin, which means that Daqin can make full use of people and will not bury talents. ”

The reason why the Qin State was able to succeed was that the Qin State could make good use of talents and would not bury them. In the Qin State, I don't worry about your talent, I'm afraid that you are not high. If it is in the land of Shandong, it will be jealous if it is high, and it will be buried, like Fan Sui almost died, this will never happen in the Qin State.

"Today, three or four out of ten officials in Daqin are from Shandong, and seven or eight out of ten officials are from Shandong, which is certainly a happy event, but also a worrying thing." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and said: "Talents, they don't grow in the soil, they don't grow in the ground, it's not enough to recruit them, but we also have to start cultivating." ”

"Reasonable, reasonable." The Qin State is the one who attaches the most importance to talents among the seven warring states, and it is precisely because the Qin State has obtained a lot of talents that it has become stronger and stronger the more it fights.

"Inhuman, how is this going to be cultivated?" King Qin Zhao's neck stretched out with a look of anticipation.

King Qin Zhao is the most clear about the importance of talents, if there is no Fan Sui to help, maybe he is still a virtual Qin king, and the real power of Qin is likely to still be in the hands of his uncle Marquis.

"Childe wants to cultivate talents by running a school?" Fan Sui had already thought of it.

"Yes, exactly." Qin Yiren nodded and said: "Unification is not only a decisive victory on the battlefield, but also about governance, if you can't govern it well, the battle will be in vain." To govern the world well, a large number of talents are needed, which requires Daqin to prepare in advance. (To be continued......)
