Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the study room, Qin Yiren was discussing important matters with important civil and military officials such as Fan Sui, Huang Shigong, Wang Jian, Wei Liao, Li Mu, Sima Shang, Meng Wu, Li Si, Wang Wan, Han Fei, and Fan Zeng.

    Fan Sui is no longer the prime minister and has retired. However, this discussion is too important and Qin Yiren still wants him to attend.  Fan Sui has an eternal wisdom and extraordinary talent. He has been in politics for decades and has extremely rich experience. It is necessary to listen to his opinions.

    "I spent a year traveling all over the country. I saw with my own eyes that there are still many problems that need to be solved. However, in short, Daqin is thriving." Qin Yiren said with a smile on his face.

    "Haha." All these years of hard work have finally paid off. China is prosperous and will get better and better. Is there anything more encouraging than this?  Everyone couldn't help but let out a burst of cheerful laughter.

    "All kinds of long-standing disadvantages have been eradicated and the foundation has been solidified. It is inevitable to become stronger and stronger. As long as time is given, China will be far better than before." When Qin Yiren said this, he changed the topic and said: "However, Baiyue has not yet recovered.  , the Xiongnu have not been defeated, it is still a sad thing, and we have to raise weapons again. Today, I have called you here to discuss how to unite Baiyue and defeat the Xiongnu. You must speak freely, and I will choose the good and accept it.  "

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? China cannot be complete unless the land of Baiyue is taken. Therefore, Baiyue must be taken.

    Unless the Xiongnu is defeated, there will be no peace in the northern frontier of China. Therefore, the Xiongnu must be defeated.

    This is the consensus of the government and the public. In the past, it was because the world was initially settled and no more weapons could be used. It was extremely necessary to get rid of the long-standing disadvantages, recuperate, and consolidate the foundation, so there was no use of soldiers.

    Now, it¡¯s finally time to use the troops in a big way, and everyone is extremely excited.

    "Your Majesty, I believe that although the Qin Dynasty has a solid foundation and strong national power, it is not strong enough to use troops against Baiyue and the Xiongnu at the same time. Therefore, I would like to ask your Majesty to choose a direction to use troops in first." The respected Fan Sui was the first to speak.  .

    "I agree." Huang Shigong, Wei Liao, and Li Mu all agreed.

    Fan Sui¡¯s vision is always far-reaching and he sees problems thoroughly.  Today's Qin Dynasty's national power is several times stronger than before Tianxia, ??it can even be said to be ten times stronger.  However, it is still not strong enough to fight two wars at the same time, let alone pacifying Baiyue and defeating the Xiongnu. Both of them are not easy to achieve. You must concentrate on doing it. Therefore, choose a direction and concentrate on it.  Launching a war with all your strength is the most correct decision.

    "Fan Sui's wise plan will last forever. It's true." Qin Yiren nodded heavily and said: "This is very true. I have decided that Da Qin will not fight two wars at the same time, but one at a time. What do you think?  , who to hit first and who to hit later?¡±

    "Your Majesty, let the general decide this matter." Huang Shigong said to Qin Yiren.

    ?? Huang Shigong and Wei Liao are not only proficient in military skills, but also very politically savvy. They have their own unique insights.  However, as Wang Jian is a general, he is the most suitable.

    "Okay, Wang Jian, you tell me." Qin Yiren said to Wang Jian.

    "Your Majesty, I believe that the Qin Dynasty's conquest of foreign tribes this time should be from the south to the north. First, the Baiyue in the south should be pacified, and then the troops should be concentrated to defeat the Xiongnu in the north." Wang Jian did not refuse.

    "Good!" There was a sound of approval, Huang Shigong and others nodded in unison.

    Wang Jian¡¯s plan is very good. Why should he go from south to north instead of from north to south?

    This depends on the geographical environment.  To the south of the land of Baiyue is the sea. All we need to do is to pacify Baiyue and divide the troops to garrison them. There will be no major changes and the Qin Dynasty will not have too many troops stationed here.

    "The desert is different, it is vast and vast, and there is a vast area to the north of Mobei.  Even if the Qin Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, it still needed to send heavy troops to the north.  If it goes north first and then south, it means that Qin can only use one hand to deal with Baiyue instead of two hands. The other hand is restrained by the desert.

    Furthermore, precisely because Baiyue has limited land and no strategic depth, it is difficult to deal with the Qin army. It is not too difficult for the Qin army to pacify Baiyue.  The strategic depth of the desert is such that if the Huns see a disadvantage and withdraw northward, it will be much more difficult for the Qin army to pursue them, and it will be difficult to solve the problem in a short time.

    Of course, it would be best for the Qin Dynasty to pacify the Xiongnu in one battle rather than engage in a protracted war with the Xiongnu.  However, when planning, you must take all possibilities into consideration.

    It is precisely because of this that Wang Jian proposed that the best solution is to go south first and then north.

    "Wang Jian, how long do you think it will take to pacify Baiyue?" Qin Yiren asked.

    "Your Majesty, in my opinion, if the Qin Dynasty sends out a large number of troops, it can be pacified in at most one year." Wang Jian said quietly.

    "How many troops are needed?" Qin Yiren asked.

    ? ??Half a million.  "Wang Jian stretched out five fingers on his right hand.

    "You really dare to ask for it." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and said.

    Five hundred thousand troops is not a small number. If nothing else, this logistical baggage is a huge problem.

    "Your Majesty, although Baiyue does not have sophisticated equipment, strict orders, or advanced tactics, the land of Baiyue is too humid, hot, and full of miasma. Furthermore, the land of Baiyue is full of mountains, rivers, and wetlands, which is not conducive to  Great Qin. If there are too few soldiers, I am afraid that the war will be prolonged." Wang Jian has been in Changsha for several years and has been studying the situation of Baiyue for a long time, and he knows Baiyue best.

    The current weather in Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi is hot, miasmatic, and has very complicated terrain. If the local Baiyue resists stubbornly, if the Qin army is too small, it is inevitable that the battle will be prolonged.

    It is precisely because of this consideration that in history, Qin Shihuang dispatched an army of 500,000 to conquer Lingnan.

    After the army of 500,000 conquered Lingnan, they stationed themselves in Lingnan. During the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the leader of the Qin army, ordered that the Five Ridges Pass be blocked and no horses were returned.

    These 500,000 troops are the elites of hundreds of battles. They personally created the Qin Empire, but they abandoned the empire at the critical moment of life and death. This was an important reason for the rapid collapse of the Qin Dynasty.  If these 500,000 troops return to the battlefield in the Central Plains in time, neither Liu Bang nor the Overlord of Chu will be able to match them, and they will soon be crushed to pieces.

    "Okay. Five hundred thousand is half a million. Just pacify Lingnan quickly." Qin Yiren also knew that it was not easy to pacify Lingnan. It was a complex jungle war, which was completely different from the war in the Central Plains. The Qin army could not  Too little.

    "The food and fodder for the half-million-strong army is a big problem. Fortunately, the food and fodder in Shuzhong has not been used in these years. We can order Li Erlang to transport it to Guilin." Qin Yiren had a smile on his face.

    Qin¡¯s victory over Bashu was a far-sighted move.  Qin Yiren, who took charge of the governance of Bashu, was also very far-sighted. Over the years, Bashu had stored a large amount of grain and grass, which could finally be put to use.

    "After pacifying the Baiyue, we must use troops against the Xiongnu. This matter needs to be planned very early." Huang Shigong said: "The planning was given to General Li Mu. However, I thought that in order to defeat the Xiongnu, we had to advance in two directions.  Give the Xiongnu the biggest blow. General Li Mu has been in the north for a long time and is most familiar with the Xiongnu. He can lead an army. There is another army. Please make an early decision on who will lead it."

    What Huang Shigong said is very reasonable. If you want to use troops, you must first choose generals.  Only by choosing a good general to lead the army and defeating the Huns can all affairs be truly launched.

    Li Mu has been in the north for a long time. He is familiar with the desert and the Xiongnu, and he has extraordinary military talent. If he leads an army on an expedition, no one will have any objections.

    The problem is, who will lead the other army becomes a problem.

    Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Wang Jian and Wei Liao.  Both Wang Jian and Wei Liao had outstanding military talents and were convinced that either of them could lead another large army.

    "After the general pacifies Baiyue, he will sit in Lingnan. The matter of defeating the Xiongnu will be left to Li Mu and Wei Liao." Qin Yiren made the decision.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Liao was overjoyed and rushed to greet Qin Yiren.

    Wei Liao is an unparalleled military genius. He is good at military strategy and even better at strategy. He is Qin Yiren's right-hand man and advises Qin Yiren, but he has never led troops on the battlefield.  Now, he can finally lead his troops into battle to kill the enemy. Is there anything that makes him happier than this?

    "Hey." Wang Jian said nothing and sighed softly.

    Defeat the Xiongnu, this is the aspiration of every Chinese man. Wang Jian cannot participate in this battle, how can he not regret it.

    "The world of mortals is lively but the white clouds are cold. Wang Jian, you can't participate in all the liveliness. You still have to adapt to the coldness." Qin Yiren said with a smile.

    "Thank you for your teaching, Your Majesty," Wang Jian said hurriedly.

    Wang Jian has extraordinary political wisdom and excellent political vision. It is perfect and reassuring to have him in charge of Lingnan.

    Next, everyone discussed some details of sending troops, and there were no more problems.  After all, in order to annex Baiyue and defeat the Xiongnu, Qin Yiren had already issued an order. The Qin Dynasty had been planning for several years and was well prepared.

    "Since there is no problem, the general will rush back to Changsha and prepare to march to Lingnan." Qin Yiren said to Wang Jian.

    "Promise." Wang Jian accepted the order.

    At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Ying Zheng, Ying, Meng Tian, ??Meng Yi and Wang Ben came in.

    "I have met my father." Ying Zheng greeted Qin Yiren.

    "Who is he?" Qin Yiren waved his hand and his eyes fell on Wang Ben.

    Wang Ben¡¯s eyes shone brightly, and his gaze fell on Qin Yiren. He couldn¡¯t look away anymore, with a look of confusion on his face.The color of excitement.

    Qin Yiren was so wise that he wiped out other countries and unified China. For Wang Ben, he was a legendary existence.  He was actually able to see Qin Yiren, not to mention how excited he was.

    "You son of a bitch, don't be rude." Wang Jian saw Wang Ben's excitement and shouted, "This is too rude."

    "Father, he is Wang Ben, the son of the general." Ying Zheng introduced Qin Yiren.

    "Wang Ben?" Qin Yiren was greatly surprised, his eyes flashed, he looked at Wang Ben and praised: "You are worthy of being a general's tiger! Brilliant! Brilliant!"

    Although Wang Ben has not yet grown up, he is very impressive and very impressive.

    "General, I have borrowed your son. Let him follow the prince." Qin Yiren said to Wang Jian.

    Wang Ben is a good general, and by asking him to follow Ying Zheng, Qin Yiren is building a team for Ying Zheng.  Once Ying Zheng ascends the throne in the future, he will have a group of his own manpower and things will go much smoother.

    Although Qin Yiren can leave a group of people for Ying Zheng, who would think there are too many talents?

    "Thank you, Your Majesty." This is giving Wang Ben a bright future. How can Wang Jian not be happy.
