"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
Wang Jian thanked Qin Wangzheng, and then said in a deep voice: "In this battle going south, we will need Gongzi Shu at the end, Wang Ben, General Meng Tian, Li Xin, Ma Xing, Xin Sheng, Yang Duanhe, Zhao Tuo, Ren Xiao, etc. All generals go south."
"We, the Qin Dynasty, need to encroach step by step to destroy Chu. This requires a large number of generals who can take charge of one side."
"Only in this way can we, at the critical moment, annihilate the state of Chu in one fell swoop."
.......
Having said this, Wang Jian walked up to the map and said, "Your Majesty, colleagues, the Chu State is an unusually large country. If we do not make the determination of the whole country to fight decisively, we cannot destroy it lightly."
"Although the Chu State seems weak, there have been wars almost every year and the tribes have soldiers."
"Although they are scattered, the Chu army is all skilled soldiers, and they are led by famous generals, and they also have war experience."
"Of course, the most important thing is that it has a vast territory, and there are plenty of soldiers, money and food."
"This is a great threat to Great Qin, because any country with a few points cannot be destroyed quickly."
At this point, Wang Jian changed his topic and said in a faint tone: "Chu is a country of divided rule. Not only are the families with fiefdoms rich in wealth and soldiers, but even the Baiyue tribe belonging to Chu has many cities and towns that do not rule each other. "
"Although this is the weakness of the Chu State, it prevents the King of Chu from gathering national strength and making the Chu State prosper. However, because of this, even if the King of Chu is captured, the Chu State may not be destroyed."
"For such a country, it is indeed difficult to gather troops for foreign wars, but it has great potential to resist the disaster of national destruction."
"At that time, I discussed with Gongzi Shu and believed that only by mobilizing the entire country's army and sending 600,000 Qin warriors southward could we accomplish great feats."
"We have always believed that the battle to destroy Chu cannot be compared to the battle to destroy Zhao."
"Our country, Da Qin, and the State of Zhao have been fighting each other for many years. They are familiar with each other, so they are naturally very easy to arrange."
"However, the cultural differences between our country of Qin and the State of Chu are huge. Although we compete with the State of Chu, we have not had much confrontation with the State of Chu since Lord Wu An!"
"Therefore, the only way to destroy Chu is to lead sixty troops southward and encroach every step of the way!"
Wang Jian explained his strategic intentions. At this moment, all the officials nodded.
At this point, even Wei Liao did not object, because Wang Jian's strategy of destroying Chu was extremely mature.
At this moment, the officials were silent. They all knew that the above general Wang Jian was going to go south to destroy Chu.
Moreover, he still led an army of 600,000 warriors. This result was in line with the interests of Qin and the interests of Qin Wangzheng.
However, it was not in the interests of the great Qin nobles. Now it was just a court meeting. Naturally, the disputes could be suppressed and the officials of the Qin Dynasty could be silenced by the power of Qin Wangzheng.
When the real court meeting begins, it will inevitably cause countless disturbances. Not only Li Si and others have foreseen this, but even Wang Jian, Zhao Shu and others also know it.
"General, prepare a report and give it to me. After Zhang Cang arrives in Chen County and Lord Changping goes north to Nanyang, the court meeting will begin."
After taking a sip, Qin Wangzheng gave a decisive order and said.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, the ministers all knew how big the storm was, but none of them spoke.
Because they know that Qin Wangzheng can solve all this, and this is a conflict between the great Qin nobles and the royal power, and they are not suitable to participate in it.
After a long time, the ministers retreated one after another.
"Gongzi Shu stays."
"promise."
After everyone left, Qin Wangzheng looked at Zhao Shu and said, "But what did you see?"
Qin Wangzheng made a decision in his mind and began to cultivate Zhao Shu's political insight and acumen.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu smiled bitterly and said: "The general led the army to destroy Zhao, Wei, and Yan. Except for South Korea, all the countries destroyed by the Qin Dynasty were all destroyed by the general."
"The nobles of Great Qin, the generals of Great Qin, and even the civil and military forces of Great Qin are somewhat dissatisfied. Military achievements, to the people of Old Qin, are everything."
"Um!"
At this moment, Qin Wangzheng nodded. He smiled bitterly at Zhao Shu and said, "Actually, the general who I thought went south to destroy Chu was not the general."
"It's just that you are right, the general is the best person to go south and destroy Chu!"
"But for the current situation, the general is not the most suitable candidate!"
Having said this, Qin Wangzheng looked at Zhao Shu, meaningfully, and said, "Do you know what it is for?"
After hearing this, Zhao Shu pondered for a long time and said in a solemn tone: "I think it is to balance the situation of the court and not cause chaos in Xianyang!"
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Qin Wangzheng opened his mouth to explain, "The biggest reason is not the superiority of the generals, nor is it the few who are afraid of the superior generals, but the balance of the temple."
"The Wang family and his son destroyed three of the six kingdoms in the world. Don't we, the Qin Dynasty, have other generals?"
"Of course I won't think too much about it, but don't the ministers think so?"
"The people of Qin favor martial arts, and value military achievements more than their lives, just like everyone's words bring gold."
"There are rumors that the Wang family's achievements are due to the favoritism of others, and that all the generals have no merit and are not used by others!"
"At that time, our country, Great Qin, will surely fall into a huge crisis!"
"The same goes for Wang!"
Having said this, King Qin Zhengchao was very focused and said: "Actually, at this time, there is only one way to balance the situation and unite people's hearts."
"That is to boldly appoint General Chaoyi as the commander-in-chief to attack and destroy the largest country."
"If you succeed, you will gain more military achievements and balance the situation of the court; if you fail, the ministers will have nothing to say from now on, and the war generals can only be promoted based on their talents..."
.......
Seeing the bitterness on Qin Wangzheng's lips, Zhao Shu also laughed silently. He knew in his heart that this was the restriction of being a king.
This is also something that can't be helped.
A war to destroy a country is itself a redistribution of interests.
What's more, a country like Da Qin, which relied on military force to build a country, valued military achievements far more than anything else.
No one wants to make great achievements and become a prince or prime minister.
Now that Wang Jian and Wang Ben have been favored by the King of Qin, they are envied by many people and have blocked the way of many people.
Zhao Shu knew in his heart that Qin Wangzheng's worries were not unreasonable.
This is a responsibility to Da Qin, and also a responsibility to the Wang family.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Zhao Shu turned to Qin Wangzheng and said, "Why did the king choose the general in the end?"
Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng smiled and said: "For the great Qin warriors!"
"Going south to destroy Chu, we have 600,000 Great Qin warriors. If an accident occurs, our Great Qin warriors will suffer heavy casualties!"
"Countless families have been broken up, and our country, Great Qin, is in a state of collapse, just like the State of Zhao after Changping!"
