Don't look at Gongzi Fan is just a martial artist, but he may not be really simple-minded.

Sometimes, he just doesn't bother to use his brain.

After all, if you can solve something with your own force, why bother brainstorming?

"Brother Fan is right."

As soon as Gongzi Fan's voice fell, Gongzi Hong, who was sitting on the side, agreed: "Don't talk about destroying Qi, after destroying Qin, you need to govern."

"If we don't properly govern and treat the remnants of the old Qin Dynasty equally, I am afraid that the Qin people will rebel and make my Wu State tired of suppression, and then there will be no spare strength for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains."

The state of Qin is different from the state of Chu in the past.

The Qin people lived in a remote corner, mixed with Rong Di, and their characters were unruly and brave and good at fighting.

Wu Guo is afraid that he will not be able to control so many Qin people.

Although, in recent years, thanks to the opening of the Silk Road, the Qin State has occupied a geographical advantage, collected tariffs, and made a lot of money.

However, after all, this is the country's financial revenue, and it has nothing to do with Li Shu of Qin......

To develop a huge Qin land, I am afraid that the family funds that Wu Guo has accumulated over the years will be hollowed out!

"Fan Li, what do you think?"

Qingji set his eyes on Fan Li, the imperial historian who had been silent.

When Fan Li heard this, he smiled slightly, and saluted towards Qingji: "King, if it is between the destruction of Qin and the destruction of Qi, the minister is more inclined to destroy Qi."

"Although the risk of destroying Qi is great, it can enable Wu to strengthen its own national strength."

"And to destroy Qin, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses."

Qingji said lightly: "If you want to destroy Qi, I'm afraid it's not easy."

As soon as they heard this, Fan Li, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu couldn't help but glance at each other, and they understood Qingji's thoughts.

No wonder, Qingji inspected Hanzhong County and came to Yongxian County.

The feeling is to move the strategic focus of Wu Guo to the west in the future!

Qingji finally said what he really thought in his heart.

Looking around, Qingji finally fixed his gaze on the parchment map on the floor.

He slowly walked down the steps, stood on the map, and then pointed to the location of the "Qin State" with the Long Yuan Sword in his hand, and said meaningfully: "For the northern countries, the few people want to destroy Qin first."

"Why?"

"Although the Qin people are brave and good at fighting, they live in a corner, and for hundreds of years the Qin people have lived together with the Rong Di in the northwest, so they are regarded by the princes as Rong Di, not the same as the Central Plains."

"If the widow respects the king, the first to bear the brunt is the Qin State."

After a pause, Qingji said again: "In the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, the Qin State is a strange and mysterious country, just because since the death of Qin Mugong, the Qin State has rarely communicated with the countries of the Central Plains."

"The Qin people are not closed off from the country, but they are also equivalent to building behind closed doors."

"When Wu destroyed Qin, most of the princes would not participate, and it would be difficult to interfere in it."

Qingji's Longyuan Sword pointed to the location of the "Land to the West of the River", and said: "To the east of the Qin State, there is the solid of Cuihan, the west is based on the plateau, the east is bordered by the Absolute Stream, the south is connected to the Nanshan Mountains (Qinling), and the north is connected to the Great River (Yellow River)."

"It is precisely by virtue of Hangu Pass that the Qin people have been able to be invincible in this world of great controversy for more than a hundred years."

"At the time of Qin Mugong, the Qin people were strong and were able to go out of the customs to compete with the Jin people for hegemony. When the Qin state is poor, the Qin people can still retreat and defend themselves and repel the invading enemy."

"What the Qin people rely on is the steepness of Hangu Pass."

"If our Wu State can destroy Qin, according to the Hangu Pass, it can also be attacked and retreated, which will greatly shorten the northern defense line of our Wu State, and take a solid step to wipe out the Six Jin Dynasty and pacify Zhou Zheng in the future."

"The king is wise!"

The strategy proposed by Qingji was endorsed by everyone present.

Truly!

Isn't the real purpose of Wu now to shorten Wu's northern defense line so as to avoid being subject to the princes in the future unification war?

After destroying the Qin State and occupying the Hangu Pass, the Wu State was equivalent to opening up another military base.

In the future, Wu could attack the Central Plains countries from both the west and south directions at the same time.

Even if the army in one direction is defeated, as long as the army in the other direction wins, then the state of Wu will win the situation.

Furthermore, there are some differences on the question of Wu's destruction of Qi or Qin.

Now Qingji's analysis can be described as hitting the nail on the head, not only dispelling everyone's doubts, but also really weighing the pros and cons.

The destruction of Qi by the state of Wu is profitable.

At least on the bright side, Qi is a land of ointment, with thousands of miles, a large population, and very developed commerce, which can be described as a rich country.

If Wu annexes Qi, it can directly raise Wu's national strength to a higher level.

However, the difficulty factor is too great.

Not to mention that the princes of the Central Plains such as Zheng, Song, Wei, Lu and Liujin would not stand idly by and directly send troops to rescue Qi.

Wu couldn't destroy Qi in one battle, and he couldn't digest it, so he could only end up eating the consequences......

Wu's destruction of Qin was different.

In addition to the need to properly govern the Qin land and prevent the Qin people from rebelling, the Wu state can get more benefits.

It's just that Wu Guo's destruction of Qin is probably not a one-time effort!

"I wonder how my father is going to destroy Qin?"

Prince Heng asked suspiciously.

"The matter of destroying Qin still needs to be done slowly, and it should not be rushed."

The corners of Qingji's mouth hooked, revealing an intriguing smile.

"Fan Li, calculate the time, the envoy sent by the widow should have seen the king of the two countries."

When Fan Li heard this, he hurriedly replied: "King, the country of Ba borders my country of Wu, and the distance is not far, I believe that it is already on the way to Yongxian, and it will be possible to arrive in a day or two."

"As for the Shu side, I believe the envoy has already seen the king of Shu......

"Good."

Prior to this, Qingji had already sent two envoys to Ba and Shu, and asked the kings of the two countries to worship him in Yongxian County to show his submission.

Not to mention the Shu Kingdom, after all, it is too far away from the Wu Kingdom to reach the whip.

This country of Ba was once a vassal state of the state of Chu.

When Wu destroyed Chu, Ba had already sent envoys to show goodwill to Wu, but he did not show his submission.

At that time, Qingji didn't take care of a small Pakistani country, so he let it go.

"The king wants to annex Bashu?"

Fan Li asked, in fact, he had already guessed.

"Yes, of course."

Qingji pointed to the location of Ba and Shu on the sheepskin map, and said slowly: "The land of Bashu has salt, copper, and the benefits of silk weaving, especially brocade silk, which is almost better than the world."

"Although the land of Bashu and Shu is vast and sparsely populated, their climate is humid and the land is fertile, which is suitable for cultivating rice, and it is harvested twice a year."

"If we don't have enough manpower, we can't reclaim excess farmland."

"If Wu can annex Bashu, then Shu will look at Qin, which will be of great benefit to my Wu State in the future war to destroy Qin."

What is the status of the land of Bashu in history, Qingji, as a traverser, knows it clearly.

In the end, the Qin people were able to destroy the six countries and dominate the world, and the land of Bashu can be said to be indispensable.
