Chapter 200: Wei Yu
As the highest military governor of the Qin State, Wei Yu bluntly said in front of Zhao Tuo that this battle of Li Xin's attack on Chu was not only difficult to win, but also had the possibility of failure.
This is almost a decline on the spot, contrary to the current political correctness of the entire Qin State, if it spreads, I am afraid that it will cause the anger of the King of Qin.
But it also proved from the other side that Wei Yi was full of trust in Zhao Tuo, so he would say this in front of him.
In other words, the reason why Wei Yu is like this is because of a certain purpose.
Seeing Zhao Tuo bowing his head and being silent.
Wei Yi smiled and said: "Look, as Li Xin's 'arm', when I saw me say this, I didn't refute it on the spot." I know that's what you kid thinks in your heart, you're young, but you're quite old. For Li Xinhua Chu this time, I don't look at it well. β
Zhao Tuo saw that he was seen through, so he nodded and said: "The state of Chu is too big, its east is bordered by the sea, and the south is in Baiyue. Although there have been successive defeats in the past few decades, the land is still thousands of miles, and its 800-year-old heritage is still there, and it is indeed difficult to use 200,000 people to destroy Chu. β
Wei Yu sighed: "If it is a veteran general who is the commander and leads 200,000 people to attack Chu, even if it is difficult to destroy his country, I think it will be like Wang Ben last year, get a lot of cities, or stalemate with the Chu people, and it will not be a big problem on the whole." But in the past six months, I think that Li Xin has become more and more rash, and he is not the right person for the coach. β
With Wei Yi's explanation, Zhao Tuo also understood the other party's worries.
At the celebration banquet when Qin Wangzheng returned from the war, he made a decision on the spot to let Li Xin be the main general and led 200,000 troops to destroy Chu.
Although Wei Yi knew that it was wrong at the time, in that kind of celebration occasion, he would not speak on the spot and lose Qin Wangzheng's face.
Although Qin Wangzheng is the master of the world and will listen to the words of his ministers, there is always a domineering element in his character, and once he thinks it is feasible and makes a decision, it is difficult to be changed.
Especially after destroying several countries in a row, he became more and more arrogant, thinking that it was not difficult to destroy Chu.
Not only this king, but even Li Si, Kui Xiang, and Yao Jia, who were not good at military affairs, were also carried away by the successive victories, and they were all optimistic about this battle.
Later, Wang Jian told the old man to return to his hometown.
Wei Yu wisely shut his mouth, while coordinating the domestic military and preparing for the invasion of Chu, while observing the situation of Li Xin as the commander and the entire Qin State, hoping that his judgment was wrong.
As a result, he found that in the current Qin State, everyone from top to bottom is in a state of arrogance, and since Li Mu's death, the Qin State's successive victories for several years have long made the Qin people forget the danger of war.
In today's Qin State, from the King of Qin to the Qin people at the bottom, they have all forgotten.
It is possible to defeat war.
As the commander, Li Xin is even braver, but he is rash and belligerent, as a fierce general, it is okay, but as a commander who leads the war of annihilation, it is far behind.
The conscripted army was not enough to destroy Chu, the king's generals were arrogant and slow, the commander was rash and warlike, and the enemy was still a country of eight hundred years.
As a master of the art of war, after careful analysis, Wei Yu found that the Qin State had not yet begun the conquest, and there were already signs of failure.
He had personally approached Qin Wangzheng to advise, hoping that Qin Wangzheng would be more cautious in this war, but although the proud Qin Wangzheng responded with his words, the arrogance in his eyes let Wei Yu know that his advice was useless.
Zhao Tuo knew where the exhaustion on Wei Yu's body came from.
As a state lieutenant in charge of a country's military, he can only watch the country fight a war that is very likely to fail, and this feeling of knowing the outcome but not being able to save it is really torturous.
"Even Duke Wei can't say that the king is moving, and I'm a young general who can't do anything."
Zhao Tuo spread his hands, he could feel Wei Yi's helplessness, so he only dared to work the deputy general yesterday, and did not dare to mention Li Xin's matter at all.
Wei Yi said in a deep voice: "No one can persuade the king today, but Li Xin's side may be able to change one or two. You were called 'my arm' by Li Xin, and you were even named by him to fight Chu together, which shows that he loves you very much in his heart, if you persuade one or two, it may be able to play some role. When you go to the battlefield, I hope you can assist Li Xin, act steadily, and don't act rashly. β
Zhao Tuo understood.
Wei Yi talked to him today, and it turned out that he wanted to find a way from Li Xin's side through him.
Zhao Tuo remembered Li Xin's proud and confident appearance in the military tent during the battle to destroy Yan, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
That guy, it's hard.
"Zhao Tuo, do your best."
Watch the young man's figure walk out of the house.
Wei Yu sighed deeply, spread his legs, and no longer maintained the posture of being a national lieutenant, but sat comfortably as he liked when he was younger.
His eyes were in a trance, remembering the first time he saw Qin Wangzheng since Da Liang first entered the Qin State.
Qin Wangzheng first saw Wei Yu, listened to his remarks, knew that this Wei people were the world's great talents, respected Wei Yu, often inquired, in order to show his grace, Qin Wangzheng even let Wei Yu enjoy the same clothes and food as him, wear silk clothes, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and travel on royal horses and public opinion.
Such a posture, compared with the mediocre appearance of the monarchs of the six countries, can be described as a clear stream in the world, which can be called the Ming monarch and the hero.
However, Wei Yu was not deceived by Qin Wangzheng's posture, and he had privately made his own judgment on this Lixian corporal.
"The King of Qin is a human being, with bee accuracy, long eyes, zhiniao θΊ (yΔ«ng), jackal sound, less grace and tiger wolf heart, living in the covenant is easy to get out of people, and the ambition is also light cannibalism. I clothed myself, and then I saw that I was always under me. Sincerity made the king of Qin aspire to the world, and the world was captured. Don't travel with long. β
Wei Yi muttered, and his mouth once again said his comments from that year.
At that time, he knew that Qin Wangzheng was a person who could not be friends for a long time, so he privately prepared to leave Qin.
As a result, Qin Wangzheng noticed this matter, and ordered someone to forcibly invite him back, and his attitude towards Wei Yu became more and more humble.
"The widow has the ambition to unify the world and sweep the heart of the six countries. Please also ask Mr. to be the lieutenant of my Qin State and be in charge of the military. The widow will obey the gentleman's words, and I hope the gentleman will not abandon the widow and go away. β
King Qin's earnest voice still echoed in Wei Yi's ears.
At that time, Wei Yu didn't know whether he was moved by Qin Wangzheng's sincere attitude, or attracted by the position of Qin Guobang's lieutenant, and wanted to show what he had learned, so he stayed and served as Qin's state lieutenant.
Wei Yu entered Qin, assisted Qin Wangzheng to reform the military system of Qin, and inherited and carried forward LΓΌ Buwei's "Theory of Righteous Soldiers", so that Qin became more and more successful in the campaign against the Six Kingdoms.
Today's Qin State is no longer the Western country where the Qin Dynasty had just taken power and the political situation was unstable.
Today's Qin Wangzheng is no longer the king who humbly sought advice and was a corporal of courtesy.
"Juyue is easy to get out of people, and Zhizhi is also light on cannibalism."
Today's Qin Wangzheng, just like what Wei Yu said back then, after destroying several countries, he has already shown signs of arrogance and arrogance, and he can no longer listen to Wei Yu's good words.
If the whole world belongs to the Qin State, Qin Wangzheng will become the only king in the world.
Who else in the world can disobey the will of this king?
and all the people of the world will be his subjects.
"The king of Qin is arrogant and doesn't listen to me, so you can't stay here for a long time."
Thinking of this, Wei Yi only felt tired all over, after so many years, he was actually tired.
He remembered the time when he drank and sang and danced with his friends in the liquor shop in Daliang City.
He missed the familiar mountains, forests, ponds, and marshes, water and soil scenery, and even the smiles of the women in the Wei Di Nulu.
As people get older, they miss their homeland more and more.
Wei Yi looked up to the east, which was the direction of the girder.
"Man Yu looks at the flow of the stream, hoping for the opposite when. The bird flies against his hometown, and the fox dies on the first hill. β
He muttered the words of "mourning" that Dr. Sanlu had made when he was exiled.
The Wei State is dead, and the Great Liang is gone, but that land is still his real hometown.
He called out to the outside of the house, "Wang Ao." β
"The disciple is here."
Wang Ao walked in.
Wei Yu glanced at the familiar furnishings in the room, and sighed faintly: "I have the heart to leave Qin, after this attack on Chu, no matter what the victory or defeat, I want to give up the post of state captain, are you willing to follow?" β
Wang Ao arched his hand and said: "Where the gentleman goes, the disciple will go." β
Wei Yu smiled: "Good." β
"Historical Records: The First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty": The Great Liang People Came to ...... The king of Qin followed his plan, and saw that the lieutenant was polite, and his clothes, food, and drink were the same. He said: "The king of Qin is a man, a bee is accurate, long-eyed, a bird, a jackal, a little grace and a tiger and a wolf's heart, he is easy to live in the covenant, and he is also a light eater." I clothed myself, and then I saw that I was always under me. Sincerity made the king of Qin aspire to the world, and the world was captured. Don't travel with long. "He is dead. Qin Wang Jue, fixed, thought that Qin Guowei used his strategy.
According to the family saying ("Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty"): After Wei Yi succeeded, he and his disciple Wang Ao fled overnight.
Judging from the description of the "Historical Records", with Wei Yu's character, the possibility of leaving Qin is still relatively large.
Thank you for the swift tipping in the storm, and the vote of all book friends, thank you!
