"Haha, this is indeed a happy event!"
Qin Wangzheng laughed and said to Gai Nie: "Yang Zi is pregnant, which will make Zhao Shu feel more at ease!"
"This time we go south to destroy Chu, it's a big deal!"
"It is a good thing and a bad thing that Yang Zi is pregnant at this time. It means that the child will not be able to see his father for at least five years."
"And Yangzi can't see her husband either!"
.......
At this moment, Gai Nie smiled, comforted, and said: "The matter has come to this, we can only let nature take its course."
"In those days when the young master was a master of martial arts, he naturally wanted to make great achievements. How could he always be by the princess's side?"
"The Prince's Art is not the Prince's Art of the prince and his daughter alone, but the Prince's Art of the Qin Dynasty."
"His identity and abilities are destined to make him unable to live such an ordinary life for the sake of his family."
........
Zhao Shu didn't know about the exchange between Qin Wangzheng and Gai Nie. Even if he knew, he couldn't change anything.
He knew in his heart that Qin Wangzheng was a rational person and a king who took state affairs extremely seriously.
But he couldn't do it, so he abandoned the general trend of the world for the sake of his unborn child.
After returning to the house, Zhao Shu did not go out again.
On this day, Fan Zeng came in a hurry and said to Zhao Shu: "Master, there is news from the Twelve Shang."
"They have gradually penetrated into the Zhuyue land and are learning about the Chu land. In a month, there will be news."
Looking at Fan Zeng, Zhao Shu nodded, chuckled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
"During this period of time, just rest more and spend time with your family. When the king's edict is issued, you can follow me south to the Chu land."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Fan Zeng felt somewhat happy in his heart. Although he also noticed that Hidden Palace U was monitoring him, he had not yet made it clear whether it was a private act or an order from Zhao Shu.
And no matter what the reason was, he understood it.
During these days in Da Qin, he had some understanding of Zhao Shu's situation, and working for Zhao Shu might be a good choice.
The most important thing is that he also saw that Da Qin vowed to annex the Shandong countries, and he actually didn't have much choice.
Coupled with the fact that Zhao Shu valued him extremely and made great efforts, Fan Zeng naturally wanted to return home.
"Congratulations to the young master, your wife is very happy."
"Ha ha......."
With a loud laugh, Zhao Shu turned to Fan Zeng and said, "Yes, most of the old Qin people are already fathers at my age."
"Sir, when my son's child is born, if he is the eldest son, then I will become his disciple, how about it?"
Fan Zeng has great talent.
Historically, it has been proven.
In Zhao Shu's opinion, with his status, the only people he could contact who were suitable to be his son's teachers were Li Si and Fan Zeng.
However, Li Si was his teacher and was naturally not suitable to continue teaching his son. In this case, his only choice was Fan Zeng.
"Sir, I have little talent and little knowledge. I'm afraid I will be embarrassed by my heavy responsibility!" At this moment, Fan Zeng was a little excited, but also a little uneasy.
He naturally knew what Zhao Shu's eldest son meant, which was almost equivalent to inheriting all of Zhao Shu's power.
This requires Zhao Shu's eldest son, who needs both civil and military skills and extraordinary intelligence.
"Haha, I believe you, sir, don't be too modest!" Zhao Shu smiled. Of course, he was not only because of Fan Zeng's talent and learning, but more importantly, he completely tied Fan Zeng to his chariot.
"good!"
Taking a sip of herbal tea, Fan Zeng also smiled and said: "Since the young master does not dislike it, I will agree."
"When the young master is born, my subordinates will be able to teach him well and live up to his expectations."
At this time, Zhao Shu changed the subject and turned to Fan Zeng, saying, "Sir, you know the situation in Chu Land better than I do."
"This time we go south to destroy Chu, sir, what do you think of our great Qin?"
After hearing this, Fan Zeng pondered for a moment, then turned to Zhao Shu and said: "Master, from my subordinates' point of view, it is best to change the strategy. Instead of defeating the enemy in one battle, we can eat away step by step."
"In today's world, Da Qin takes the initiative and Chu takes the passive position. Naturally, it must use force to suppress others, rather than win by surprise."
Having said this, Fan Zeng chuckled lightly and said: "With the foresight of the young master, the above general Wang Jian has set up the marching army, and our country, Qin, will definitely win this battle."
"Based on the analysis of my subordinates, the young master is actually going to war for Zhu Yue, right?"
"Um!"
Zhao Shu was not surprised that Fan Zeng could see it. If Fan Zeng couldn't see it, it would be in vain.
Taking a sip of herbal tea, Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "I have set my sights on the land of Zhuyue. We must win Zhuyue in this battle."
"And the land of Baiyue."
"Only in this way can the strategic deployment of this southward movement be completely completed."
"This means that it will take several years for us to go south. This is why I asked my husband to stay at home and spend more time with my family."
"Eating away step by step, if the Qin Dynasty moves southward, it will be enough to wipe out the Chu State within three years. As for the Yue, it will be easily wiped out within three months."
Speaking of this, Fan Zeng said with a hint of irony: "As for Baiyue, as long as the problem of food and grass supply is solved, it can be solved within a few months."
"If you want to solve Baiyue in a short time, Master, you need to solve the problem of grain and grass transportation in advance."
"Um!"
Nodding, Zhao Shu smiled and said: "I think so too. When our army goes south to Chu and conquers the Yue, we will build the Ling Canal here."
"Then open up the two rivers and solve the problem of grain and grass transportation."
"Therefore, the Twelve Merchants stayed in various places, especially in the land of Baiyue, to find out as much as possible!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Fan Zeng left. Although he understood Zhao Shu's intention to annex Zhuyue and Baiyue in one fell swoop.
However, he never thought that Zhao Shu's goal was not only Zhuyue, but also the Indo-China Peninsula.
The reason why he wanted to annex Zhuyue and Baiyue in a short period of time was to completely open up the passage to the Indochina Peninsula.
Zhao Shu had an idea in his mind, which was to leave a mark on the Indochina Peninsula starting from the Great Qin Dynasty.
Just like the other lands, it was completely marked with the mark of the Central Plains and became a part of China.
Even if, one day in the future, Da Qin becomes corrupt and a new dynasty replaces Da Qin, Indochina will still belong to China.
As the soul of future generations, Zhao Shu naturally knows what the significance of winning the Indochina Peninsula is to China.
If you capture Zhuyue, you can open up to the Western Ocean, and if you annex Baiyue, you can open up to the South Ocean. Once you capture the Indochina Peninsula, you can have direct access to the Indian Ocean.
In the future, when China's population explodes, they can continue to move south, occupy Sumatra Island, and control Malacca.
From then on, Nanyang and the East China Sea became China's inland seas.
