"My king." Fan Sui clasped his fists again and said eloquently: "According to my opinion, the alliance between Zhao and Chu is by no means unbreakable. As long as we can find a piece of land for Zhao when our army attacks Chu, Zhao will win It will certainly not hinder our army from attacking Chu."
"The land that must be won?" King Qin pondered for a moment, and then said with some uncertainty: "The Prime Minister means the State of Yan?"
"If it's the last year, the Yan Kingdom will definitely be the one." Fan Sui shook his head and said, "After this battle in Luocheng, the Zhao Kingdom will definitely gain the Han Kingdom."
"In the battle of Luocheng, the Kingdom of Han broke the treaty and left, which almost caused the Kingdom of Zhao to collapse. King Zhao must hate such a big event. If the Kingdom of Zhao cannot punish the Kingdom of Han as soon as possible, its prestige will be damaged. Therefore, the Kingdom of Han must be Zhao. The king must attack the country." Fan Sui explained briefly.
Indeed, if such a country that breaks the alliance cannot be punished, it will not only lose Zhao's face and prestige, but also make subsequent alliances lose their due binding force.
This is an absolutely unacceptable result for Zhao Guo.
only......
Wang Hao frowned and looked at Fan Sui, and asked: "How can Zhao's attack on Han be the same as my attack on Chu?
The country of Han has no more than one county, no more than thirty cities, and no more than tens of thousands of armored men. If the Zhao army descends from the land of Zhou Wangji, they can reach Xinzheng in a day or night. Without the constraints of our great Qin, Zhao's victory over Han would only be accomplished in ten months;
As for the country of Chu, its territory is more than a thousand miles away, its cities are hundreds, and its armored men are hundreds of thousands. If our army wants to destroy Chu, it cannot be done without the effectiveness of many years;
When Zhao Zhi destroys Han, he will lead his army south to prevent me from destroying Chu. How can our army stop it? "
"General, don't be anxious." Fan Sui looked at Wang Huan with a smile and continued to reply: "The general made a mistake here, maybe because the truth is not clear. What the truth said was that Zhao went south to destroy Han, and I Da Qin Dong went out to attack Chu, but he did not intend to destroy Chu."
"As the general said, Han's land is narrow, while Chu's land is vast. Our great Qin is marching eastward, and we cannot defeat Chu in one battle." Fan Sui smiled and looked at King Qin, slightly cupped his hands, and said: "My king, please ask for a map of the world. One use."
"Yes." King Qin immediately agreed with a wave of his hand.
Not long after, the eunuchs in the palace slowly carried a screen-like map to the center of the hall.
"Let's watch it with the others." King Qin was obviously a little excited, and immediately called the important ministers to come forward together, waiting for Fan Sui to continue to give instructions.
"Although the Chu land is vast, its southern part is a smoggy land. There are not many people inhabited within a thousand miles. The densely populated areas are only in Chen, Juyang, Shouchun and other places." As he spoke, Fan Sui The map pointed out: "These three areas are also the foundation of the Chu Kingdom. After that is the land of Wu and Yue, and after that is the land of Jingman in the south."
Hearing this, everyone nodded frequently.
I have to say that Fan Sui was Fan Sui, and he had a good grasp of the situation in the Warring States Period. The five areas he pointed out are almost the progress of Chu State's gradual withdrawal from the stage of history.
From the land of Yanying, retreated to Chendu, then retreated from Chenland to Juyang, Shouchun, and finally to the land of Wuyue. This is almost the history of the changes in the capital and national destiny of Chu State.
Seeing that everyone agreed with his opinion, Fan Sui immediately continued: "Chen Du will be the first step for my great Qin Dong to attack Chu."
As he spoke, Fan Sui pointed his finger directly at Chendu, the current capital of Chu State.
"As long as we capture this place, we will not only occupy the most prosperous area of Chu State except the land of Zhou Wangji, but also open a passage to the north." Fan Sui drew his finger, and there was a passage from Chendu to Wei State.
Everyone immediately understood what Fan Sui meant.
Since it is impossible to go out directly to the east, we should first go to the southeast, then turn to the north, bypass the sensitive area of Zhao - the land of Zhou Wangji, and penetrate directly into the rear of Wei.
As for attacking Wei, it goes without saying that all we need to do is give Zhao the land of Yan or Zhou Wangji.
In the end, whether to divide Qi State together with Zhao State, continue to attack Chu State, or adopt a two-pronged approach, we will see whether Zhao State takes Yan State first or the land of Zhou Wangji first.
In this way, the intention of Zhao and Qin to divide the world and then fight decisively is basically
Ben realized it.
It has to be said that the Prime Minister is the Prime Minister after all. Even in such unfavorable circumstances, he still found a way for Qin.
However, Fan Sui's plan is obviously not over yet.
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Fan Sui immediately looked at Wang Lu beside him and said, "If it is limited to the capital of Chen, is it possible that the general can complete the task of capturing the capital of Chen before the Zhao Kingdom destroys Han?"
After pondering for a while, Wang Hao frowned slightly: "If we attack the country with soldiers, we may be 70% sure. If we want to beware of Zhao, we must not attack Chu with more than 200,000 soldiers. In this case, we are only 60% sure."
"Why?" Fan Sui asked immediately. Obviously, Fan Sui was not satisfied with the figure of 60%.
"There are too few people in Han. I'm afraid that Xinzheng will fall before the army breaks through Chendu. Sixty percent is already the best situation." Wang Hao replied helplessly.
"Sixty percent is sixty percent." Fan Sui nodded, but didn't take it seriously, and then continued: "The truth is that he is a general with a little bit of calculation."
"Oh?" As soon as these words came out, even Wang Hao looked at Fan Sui expectantly.
Fan Sui smiled calmly and said: "After the battle in Luocheng, our army retreated to the east of the river. The country of Han will be in panic all day long, fearing the revenge of Zhao Jun. So, why didn't our army take the opportunity to sneak into Xinzheng with 3,000 armored soldiers and pretend to be The Korean army, train an army for it? You can even send an unknown Qin general to secretly infiltrate the Korean army and command it."
"The Korean army has the best armor, bows and crossbows in the world, but there is no shortage of them. The shortcomings are that the soldiers are few, the strength is weak, and the generals are tired." Wang He then said: "If we can use the Qin army to train them, Together with the Qin generals, their combat power may be qualitatively improved, which can buy more time for our army."
"But." Wang Lu frowned slightly and said, "In this case, wouldn't it mean that he is helping the country of Han again? How could the Zhao country not know about it? How could the Zhao country do what we want if they know it?"
"General, if you have any doubts, please tell me." Fan Sui smiled calmly, but he was not in a hurry to argue.
"Secondly, although Han is at the bottom, he may not hand over the general power to our Qin generals. How to persuade them is a difficult problem." Wang Lu was not polite and immediately continued to raise questions: "Thirdly, if we use our army's According to the teachings of the Dharma, its combat power will definitely increase. How can we prevent Han’s army from turning against our Qin army?”
After saying this, Wang Hao, King Qin and others looked at Fan Sui, quietly waiting for his answer.
Fan Sui was not in a hurry. Seeing that Wang Hao had stopped asking questions, he slowly began to answer: "Thank you, General Wang Hao. I will try to explain them one by one."
"First, Zhao and Qin are going to destroy the country. This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy that everyone knows. We, Da Qin, will create difficulties for Zhao to destroy the country, and Zhao will also provide help to Chu. This is natural. , and this will not change the basic principle of dividing the country and destroying it.
Therefore, this help will only be provided by a small force. Its purpose is self-evident, which is to increase one's own strength without increasing the opponent's strength. It will not be until there is a world of difference between the two countries, or when there is no country to devour, that the two countries will face each other with swords.
Therefore, even though Zhao knew it, he would not waver in his determination to destroy Han. The struggle is still about who can achieve the set goal first. "
"Second." Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Fan Sui continued to explain the second point: "In the past, it was not easy for the Korean army to hand over its military power, but now that the country of Han is about to perish, we, the Qin Dynasty, are helping us with our soldiers. How can we be unwilling? Of course, Han Jun can assume the position of general himself, and I, General Qin, can be his deputy. In this way, Han Jun still has its name, so why not?"
"Third." Fan Sui shook his head and continued: "In fact, there is no need to worry about this antagonism. Does the general think that I can save the country of Han with only three thousand Qin troops? Even if I can save it, Zhao Jun will be under the sword. , how many Korean troops can be left?"
"Then my Qin Army officers..." Before Wang Lu could speak, a general beside him had already spoken.
"Confused." This time, Fan Sui didn't need to explain, Wang Lu had already cursed: "One general can make thousands of bones dry. If we can delay Zhao Jun for even a month or two with an army of three to five thousand, it will be a good deal." Extremely. Besides, seeing that the city has been broken, won’t our army still be able to run away? By then our army was already in Chen
The army of Xinzheng, the capital, went all the way south to search for it. How could it be destroyed? "
"Yes, General, I made a mistake." The general who had just raised the question immediately apologized.
"So, is the general satisfied with the true answer?" Fan Sui said with a smile after watching Wang Hao finish reprimanding his generals.
"The great talent of the Prime Minister will be beyond the reach of the generals." Wang Hao immediately clasped his fists with both hands and bowed slightly to Fan Sui.
"Whatever the general says, I will just point out the map here. If we really want to fight, even ten Fan Sui will not be able to defeat the general." Fan Sui also bowed immediately.
"There is no need for you two to flatter each other." The King of Qin reluctantly took their hands and said, "Both of you are the pillars of our Qin Dynasty. One cannot exist without the other."
"My king is so complimentary." The two of them immediately bowed to each other.
Looking at the two people in front of him, King Qin also became more confident. Then he glanced at the map in front of him and silently clicked on Chen Du. Then he turned to the crowd and said: "My dear friends, I would like to express my gratitude to the Prime Minister's words just now. , but do you still have any concerns?"
"The great talent of the prime minister is the blessing of our great Qin." Everyone praised in unison.
"That's it." King Qin nodded, and then began to name him: "Tu Jia."
"Wei Chen is here." Tu Jia, who was in charge of Qin's diplomatic affairs, immediately stood up and replied.
"Arrange envoys to go to Zhao and Han. The mission of Zhao is to turn the war with Zhao into friendship, express the intention to destroy all countries together, and reach reconciliation with Zhao as soon as possible; the mission of Han is to appease the king of Han and express Qin's willingness to help defend the city. , prompt the King of Han to invite the Qin army to settle in as soon as possible." The King of Qin immediately began to assign tasks.
"Yes." Tu Jia agreed immediately.
"General Wang Lu." King Qin continued to point to the general.
"The end will be here." Wang Lu also clasped his fists again and replied.
"Two things. First, select three thousand soldiers and a general, and arrange the entry into the country of Han. No fanfare is allowed, and it is necessary to hide it from Zhao as much as possible; second, mobilize the troops to prepare for the attack on Chu in the coming year." King Qin He ordered again.
"Yes." Wang Hao immediately agreed.
"Fan Sui." King Qin nodded again.
"Wei Chen is here." Fan Sui also clasped his fists and replied.
"General in charge of food, grass, weapons and other matters, and provide logistical support for the army." King Qin continued to give instructions.
"Yes." Fan Sui immediately accepted the order.
After giving orders to the three main people in charge, the King of Qin immediately faced the ministers and announced: "This proposal is the basic national policy of our Great Qin in the future, and all ministers must abide by it and implement it."
"Yes." All the ministers agreed in unison.
Finally, with the unanimous consent of Qin's important ministers, Qin's national policy was finally determined again.
And the long-standing struggle between Qin and Zhao has also begun a new chapter.
