Chapter 777: East to South?
Loulan, one carriage after another went out of the city and ran in all directions.
The officials of the Western Qin Dynasty who came from all over the country to participate in the deliberations will return to the oasis of the herdsmen again after the sacrifice and strive for the strength and prosperity of the Western Qin.
If there is any difference compared to before, it seems that some people's official positions have been raised by one and a half ranks, and some people have been demoted or even dismissed from their posts and are no longer hired.
It has been more than half a year since he came to the Western Regions, Lin Ze thought about it, and made an assessment according to everyone's political achievements.
For any organization, a sound reward and punishment evaluation system is indispensable, which is conducive to the healthy and energetic operation of the institution.
Besides, the thousands of miles of land in the Western Regions are already barren, if the rulers don't manage it well, won't it be doomed?
Lin Ze, who can now be regarded as sharing weal and woe with the Western Regions, naturally does not allow this to happen.
As the saying goes, if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and after those officials settle down and go to the ruling side, Lin Ze immediately summoned Han Xin and others to discuss expansion.
A world map ten zhang long and eight zhang wide, under Lin Ze's order, spread out and nailed to the palace wall.
This map was written by Lin Ze by collecting a large amount of information, first asking Xiao Jin to sort out the information and simulate the image, and then asking the painter to dictate according to Lin Ze's instructions, in proportion, stroke by stroke, on the silk.
In addition to the two western regions of the Qin Kingdom, there are descriptions as far as Baiyue in the south, the East China Sea Islands in the east, the Rakshasa Kingdom living in the land of ice and snow in the north, and the Byzantine Empire in the west.
The land of the Western Regions, which represents Western Qin, was painted red by Lin Ze's order, and the rest of the places are still black lines and white backgrounds, and they have not yet been colored.
"You are all lonely confidants, lonely and self-reliant, what you want, you all know in your hearts. ”
"If there are great changes today, chaos is gradually rising, and the only way to fight is to have a glimmer of opportunity to watch the avenue. ”
"It is possible for you to break the limit of heaven and man and live forever. ”
Lin Ze stood in front of the map, looked at Han Xin and the others, and said slowly: "If you want to expand your territory and prosper Western Qin, do you have any good ideas?"
Han Xin bowed to Lin Ze, and said as he stepped forward: "As you can see on the map, to the north of the Western Regions is the Northland Wasteland, with grasslands stretching for thousands of miles. ”
"To the west of the Western Regions, the Byzantine Kingdom is thousands of miles away, and the army has traveled long distances, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not advisable at the moment, but at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, there is also a pasture with lush water and grass, which can be used as a place for raising horses. ”
"It's just that these two places can't be fought for a long time, and they can't be defended for a long time, if the lord wants to dominate the world, he should also point his sword here. ”
Lin Ze looked for Han Xin's finger and found that he was pointing to the land of Yan Zhao.
I only heard Han Xin continue: "Even if the Western Regions and the Northern Land are combined, they are thousands of miles wide, but in terms of prosperous population, they are still not as good as one percent of Qin. ”
"According to the topography, the lord should have led the army to the east and then south, straight into Guanzhong, and then took Guanzhong as the foundation to swallow the world. ”
"But the Qin Emperor is still in power, and there are 200,000 Praetorian Guards in Chang'an, if it is attacked, the lord will win the battle, but it will also be a tragic victory, which will only make Buddhism and Confucianism take advantage of it. ”
"Comparatively speaking, only the land of Yan Zhao is the best choice for the lord at present. Therefore, his subordinates implored the lord to send a large army all the way east to capture Yan Zhao. ”
Before Lin Ze could reply, Chen Ping spoke: "Lord Qiqi, the minister thinks that it is impossible, if you want to attack Yan Zhao from the Western Regions, although you don't have to go through Guanzhong, you have to march along the edge of Guanzhong." ”
"If Qin Huangzheng suddenly sends troops north to cut off the connection between the army and the Western Regions when we are attacking Yan Zhao, won't it be difficult to take care of both the end and the end?"
"If the land of Yan Zhao is captured, it is better to say, if the war is not harmonious, the army is cut off, and there is a lack of supplies, wouldn't there be a worry of destruction?"
Han Xin said undeniably: "If the end is the commander, there will definitely be no such situation as Lord Chen said." ”
Chen Ping took a step forward and asked, "The general is an enemy of heaven and earth, and if Qin Huangzheng leads his army to the battle, how should the general resist it?"
Han Xin's face froze, and he coughed lightly and replied, "No." But the lord can personally recruit Yan Zhao. ”
Chen Ping shook his head and said, "What if Emperor Qin's sword is pointed at the Western Regions? Yan Zhao has captured it, but the land in the Western Regions that the people have attached to has been lost, isn't it worth the loss?"
Han Xin couldn't deny it: "The land of Yan Zhao is comparable to the barren land of the Western Regions?
Chen Ping replied loudly: "Although Yan Zhao is prosperous, it is just a newly attached land to the lord, and although the Western Regions is barren, it is the foundation of the lord. How can it be that the new earth has broken its own foundations, and has done perversely?"
Han Xin replied without flinching: "Then in your opinion, what should I do?"
Chen Ping also came to the map and said slowly: "The lord once taught me how to dominate the world, and the deepest meaning is to build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king." ”
"The Western Regions are connected to all directions, and although the land is barren, the business is developed. The minister thought that with the current situation, there was no need to rush to expend military and material resources to expand on a large scale. Instead, we should vigorously develop commerce, accumulate wealth and strength, and then look for opportunities to expand our territory. ”
Han Xin said with a disapproving face: "The output of the Western Regions is small, and commerce alone is not enough to support the development of Western Qin. It is indispensable to expand the territory. ”
Han Xin Chen Ping argued for a long time, and finally found that no one could convince anyone, so Qi Qi bowed to Lin Ze and said, "The two of us have different ideas, and I ask the Lord to decide." ”
Lin Ze smiled and said, "In Gu's opinion, both of them have good ideas, why not move forward side by side?"
"Chen Ping is in charge of all matters of the caravan, Wu Fan led the Jinyi Guards to help, and at the same time, the Lone Guild ordered the officials of the Western Qin to open the door for you to promote commercial development. ”
Han Xin presided over the military affairs, and first took the pastures at the foot of the Beidi and Tianshan Mountains, and the war horses, cattle and sheep produced in the two places could also be handed over to Chen Ping to sell in exchange for supplies. ”
"As for the land of Yan Zhao, Lone has other plans. ”
Han Xin and Chen Ping glanced at each other and said in unison: "The ministers obey the order." ”
"Dare to ask the lord, what are your plans for the land of Yan Zhao?" Han Xin was a little unwilling to attack Yan Zhao's strategy was left behind, and asked forward.
Lin Ze replied: "What Chen Ping said is reasonable, at this moment, if you attack Yan Zhao, the Qin Emperor will definitely go north, because of the land of Yan Zhao, and the Qin Emperor will fight to the death, and the soldiers will be lost, so I think it is not a wise move." ”
Han Xin said eagerly: "But the land of Yan Zhao, fertile and thousands of miles, is the foundation of the real hegemony, if you give up because of concerns, wouldn't it be a pity?"
Lin Ze glanced at Han Xin with a strange expression, and said suspiciously: "Who told you that Lone wants to give up?"
"Lone just doesn't want to conflict with Emperor Qin too early, so as not to be profited by the Confucianism of Buddhism. ”
"The land of Yan Zhao is indeed very good, and Lone also wants to take it into his pocket, but the time has not yet come. ”
Chen Ping suddenly said loudly: "Does the lord want to wait for Buddhism and Confucianism to disturb the world, and the Qin State has no time to look north, and then attack Yan Zhao?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said, "That's not the case, I'm waiting for Emperor Qin to come to me and personally give the land of Yan Zhao to Western Qin." ”
As soon as Lin Ze's words came out, Han Xin's five people all showed puzzled looks, with the character of Qin Huangzheng, how could they give the land of Yan Zhao to Western Qin?
Lin Ze saw the expressions of the five people, just smiled slightly, and didn't say much.
Because Lin Ze was eighty percent sure, Emperor Qin would come to him, because Buddhism and Confucianism were too strong.
