Chapter 701: Cut-in
Zhao Gao and Mai Linglong's road from Han to Qin was not smooth, in addition to the strict control of the border gates in both countries, another force that should not be underestimated was entrenched in their midst, scrutinizing every passer-by.
Between the Qin and Han dynasties, there is actually a Western Chu!
Monarch Xiang Yu is known as the "Overlord of Western Chu", his personal combat strength is invincible, he is invincible in leading the army, and his own rank is also as high as a historical epic, and he is also a famous figure in history. It's just that he was born at the wrong time, sandwiched between the Qin Emperor and the Han Wu, there is really not much room for manoeuvre, and the established Western Chu has lasted for a very short time in history, and the size of the territory and talent reserve are far inferior.
In contrast, although the Qin Empire ruled the world for only a dozen years, its historical status was unparalleled. Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng is not only the founding monarch, but also the first son of the Mandate of Heaven to be called "emperor", and the founder of the emperor's rules. Even if many legendary monarchs in later generations have their own merits, in this regard, they have to congenitally bow their heads.
King Qin swept Liuhe and the world bowed his head, it was by no means just talking.
Moreover, before the unification of the world, the Qin State was crowned a prince from Xianggong Qin Zhou (771 BC), to the destruction of the six kingdoms into 36 counties (221 BC), holding the country for more than 500 years, and the accumulation of heritage was by no means inferior to other great unified dynasties. From the point of view of the quantity and quality of talents, only the prime ministers who left a prestige in history include Wuyang Doctor Baili Xi, the far-sighted Uncle Jian, Fan Ju who is close to attack, Shang Yang who changes the law to dominate, Zhang Yi who is clever and eloquent, and Li Si, a genius who finally unified the world, abolished the division of the seal, the car is on the same track, and the book is the same text, and the rest such as Gongsun Zhi, Pibao, LΓΌ Buwei and the like, even if they are not counted, it is enough for the two to confront each other in this regard.
As for the famous generals, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Sima Cuo, Meng Tian, Wang Di, Wei Yizi, Li Xin, Zhang Han These characters, just pull out two of them, they are all top cattle in Chinese military history, and with the top epic class Qin Ruishi, the strength of combat effectiveness is self-evident.
"Impossible, right? This is the Qin State that integrates one or several plot worlds, and there is theoretically no reason why so many strong people will appear at the same time. According to the general law, it may be like the Western Han Dynasty, which intercepted the Han Wu Dynasty at its peak and brought all the talents under the rules of the Han Wu Emperor. Otherwise, if Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and these early Han Dynasty are counted, the combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty must not be against the sky? Mai Linglong looked at Xianyang, another legendary capital, and was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Gao's judgment.
In terms of the majesty and grandeur of the appearance of the city, Xianyang and Chang'an could not be said to be the same, but it was not until they actually entered the Qin State that they realized that the capital of a completely militarized country and the relatively free Chang'an City were two completely different concepts.
Even if it is also a legendary giant city, in terms of the degree of prosperity, Xianyang is probably less than one-tenth of Chang'an's, and the population and economic development are not at the same level. But if you look at it purely from the perspective of combat, the coordination of various military arrangements in Chang'an City can be regarded as impregnable and difficult to capture. But Xianyang, that is a city that exists for battle, and the whole concept of the city's design is to fight - even whether it is a farmer, a merchant or even a slave, there is no need for special training to directly devote themselves to battle, and the whole people are soldiers to the marrow.
All this is due to the Shang Dynasty, and the law has been changed to make all the people "happy when they hear the war", and all the people from top to bottom have become fanatical militants, and there is no one in military mobilization.
Such a country, ruled by Qin Shi Huang, who stands at the top of the legend, and assisted by those famous ministers and generals in history, may be troublesome when the world is peaceful, but if it is placed in this troubled world, the combat effectiveness that erupts will be amazing enough.
From this conceptual point of view, what Mai Linglong said is not unreasonable, but Zhao Gao thought about it for a while, shook his head, and said in an affirmative tone: "It's different." The Han Wu Dynasty is integrated here as an independent plot world, even if there are other famous generals and ministers in other eras of the Han Dynasty, they are only outside the court as individuals, and their own rule level is greatly restricted and cannot really come, after all, it is impossible for them to fully match Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in terms of rules. β
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought that in the battle of "The Land of Nothing", Sima Xiangru learned from Han Xin the formation of "ambush on all sides", which caused great trouble to himself at that time. It's just that from the perspective of the battle process, this formation is strong, and it is too rigid in terms of specific responses, and at that time it was just thought that it was limited to Sima Xiangru's ability, but now that I think about it, it probably has nothing to do with Han Xin, who came to this world.
"The current Qin State, because of the division of historical faults, there will be at least three plot worlds of different periods that are integrated here. Because from the point of view of its origin and inheritance, combined with the composition of this chaotic and orderly plot world, at least it is in the Spring and Autumn Period, in the Warring States Period, and after unification, it is also - this is terrifying. Zhao Gao sighed silently without finishing speaking, closed his eyes and thought for a while before continuing, "The characters I just talked about, the Spring and Autumn period are under the command of Qin Mugong, the Warring States are under the command of Qin Xiaogong, and the rest are under the command of Qin Shi Huang. β
This is a very reasonable configuration, otherwise it would be impossible for Western Qin to exist without Western Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States before Qin, but in this way, Zhao Gao's hope of being able to move Qin Shi Huang with words is one less point.
Having said that, there was no frustration in Mai Linglong's expression. Since Zhao Gao annexed Sima Xiangru's "country of nothingness", his analytical ability, which was already calm, has been improved to a higher level, and his ability to calculate details has also been greatly improved. Although it seems difficult at the moment, when has the task done by the old guy's team ever been simple?
"Who are you going to start with?" Mai Linglong paused for a moment, and silently calculated the entry point that could be chosen in her heart - in the original battle of Hexi of Qin and Wei, the two of them had made meritorious contributions in the Qin camp, and the commander at that time was Wei Ying (Shang Ying), which was a good mouth; Zhao Gao obtained the "Zhang Yi Tongue" from Zu Tian, and he was naturally close to Zhang Yi in terms of rules, which was also a road; If it really doesn't work, even if you start with the historical "Zhao Gao" and bribe him with money, it will not lose a feasible way.
The three choices have their own advantages and disadvantages, Shang Ying is quite powerful in the army, and his right to speak should not be weak; Zhang Yi is to take the political line and change the existing pattern from the major policies; As for Zhao Gao, although the official position of the court eunuch is not high, he is the most able person to speak in front of the Qin Emperor, which can be regarded as a shortcut.
It's a pity that she just said the suggestion, only to see Zhao Gao look at her strangely, and said strangely: "Why bother so much?" After saying this, he strode towards the post house.
