chapter 176. two lines of war

The news of Ying Si's beheading the Korean envoy spread like wildfire, and within ten months, it was rumored to be rumored.

At this point, the Qin State was even more infamous! King Han Kang was blown up. He didn't expect that he could not have been punished and was even killed by the King of Qin.

In anger, King Han immediately agreed to Gongsun Yan's attack on Qin and chose a good day to start a war! Other vassal states except Han also hated Qin's unethical behavior, and all of them developed the desire to conspire with Han.

The current dilemma of Qin State is no less than when the five countries merged.

In fact, Ying Si has been thinking about whether there are any mistakes in the Qin State’s national policy these days.

Since he took office, he has gone east to become kings and reigned. The strategies he has planned are slightly different from those of his ancestors.

From the perspective of the country, Ying Si was particularly concerned about military affairs in other countries except Qin.

The battle between Qin and South Korea is inevitable! Ying Si is not afraid. As long as he understands the national strength thoroughly, Qin can repel the coalition forces of the Three Jin Dynasties, and he will naturally attack South Korea.

Although Ying Si has always been incompetent, Ying Si can still tell who is more important when facing the enemy.

During this period, he has not gone to the wine pond and meat forest. It is not that he has no demand, but that he is disturbed by state affairs and has no interest.

Si lying alone in Lingyun Pavilion and frowning, Ying Si never expected that he would have such a day.

Mei Changsu and Zhang Yi came to Lingyun Pavilion in the dusk and saw Ying Si sleeping when he leaned against the king's chair.

The two of them felt ashamed! After all, they were the left and right prime ministers of Qin, and it was really an insult to the duty of being a minister.

"Come?"

Ying Si opened his eyes. In fact, he had not fallen asleep. He just squinted his eyes. When Mei Changsu and Zhang Yi came in, they were already discovered.

"My Mean Mei Changsu and Zhang Yi, pay homage to my king!"

Ying Si sat upright, waved his hand, and met in private. This kind of polite etiquette should have been eliminated.

Mei Changsu's voice was very low. He knew that Ying Si was overworked recently and was not in good spirits, so he didn't dare to speak too loudly.

"Your Majesty, the two envoys of Ba and Shu came yesterday. When I saw that the king was tired, I received them privately."

Bashu?

Ying Si remembered it.

It was indeed at this critical moment in history that when Qin was about to attack South Korea, Shu had war frictions with Ba and Zhu.

The Shu Kingdom was relatively strong among the three kingdoms and had long had the ambition to annex the two countries of Ba and Ju.

Unfortunately, the two countries worked together and resisted tenaciously, and the Chu State has been making trouble, which has led to the Shu State never succeeding.

Now Shu Kingdom has made up its mind to swallow the two pieces of fat meat in one mouthful.

The national strength of Ba and Ju countries is not very strong and it is difficult to resist for a while, so they can only ask for help from their old neighbors.

Because Chu's covetousness of the land of Bashu is well known, but Qin has never started a war against Bashu, so the two countries of Bashu put their hopes on Qin.

In addition, when King Longmen Prime Minister and King Shu once sent mud to humiliate Ying Si, the knot of Ying Si had never been opened.

Taking into account, the two countries of Ba and Ju feel that the possibility of Qin sending troops to rescue each other is very high! Ying Si calmly and soberly said indifferently: "Some people say that the land of Bashu is poor and remote, and the people of Bashu are barbaric and rude; but I know that Bashu is the country of Tianfu and the granary of the world."

Mei Changsu and Zhang Yi gradually realized that Ying Si was not actually like he showed.

He knew Qin well, including land, taxes, population, treasury, pig iron, food, horses, weapons, etc.

He had a clear understanding of national policies and had subtle calculations of military strategy.

In other words, what Ying Si shows is what he wants outsiders to see, and no one knows what kind of person Ying Si is essentially.

Mei Changsu has always been steady. Even though the enemy is facing a strong enemy, he still thinks calmly and cleverly, and then said: "King, Qin is currently in dire straits. On the one hand, South Korea is coming in full force, and on the other hand, Bashu is looking forward to it. Where will Qin go?"

Ying Si smiled and said, "South Korea is coming. I am reasonable. Ba and Ju came to ask for help, and as expected, they did not let go according to my wishes."

Don't let go?

Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and questioned before he could think about it carefully: "Zhang Yi is puzzled by what the king said. Does the king want to fight against South Korea and support Ba and Ju?"

"It is not to support Ba and Ju, but to pacify Ba and Shu and directly turn the land of Ba and Shu into a county with Qin."

Hiss! Mei Changsu and Zhang Yi gasped in the air conditioner and almost scared her.

This idea is crazy.

The land of Bashu is a dangerous border area of ​​Qin. Although the mountains are continuous, the climate is warm and humid, and the land is fertile.

It is even much richer than Shangyu! Although the Qin State experienced the Battle of Hangu Pass and its national strength has not yet been fully restored, the elite are still there.

It is no problem to fight on the expedition to pacify Bashu! But the most feared thing is to start a war on two fronts.

With the current military strength of Qin, there is no way to start a war on both sides. It either pacify Bashu or fight against South Korea.

Only one of the two can be chosen.

Zhang Yi has been very focused. After hearing Ying Si's words, he couldn't help frowning deeper: "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate!"

“What’s wrong?”

Ying Si's voice was a little dull.

The three people came to the Warring States map, and Zhang Yi analyzed it in a clear way: "Please look at it, the battle between Bashu and South Korea is very different. If the war on both sides really starts, the left and right will not be able to rush to support."

"In this way, both sides seem a little stretched. Our Qin army has never been to the Bashu land before, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"And South Korea, this time, is the leader of the Xi army. The two deputy generals, Shen Cha and Han Peng, are both familiar with military books."

"In this case, it will be difficult for our Qin State to allocate troops, but also the distribution of generals and generals will be difficult."

Mei Changsu added: "Yes, King, what Brother Zhang said is reasonable. Besides, if all the Qin troops are concentrated on the battlefield between South Korea and Bashu, what will we do if other countries attack?"

Ying Si looked at the continuous mountains and rivers on the map and said earnestly: "I have thought that now the Yan country is in chaos, and the Yan State Prime Minister Zizhi forced the King of Yan to abdicate. In this case, Qi State will not let it go."

"If Qi interferes in Yan's internal affairs, he will not have the energy to cause trouble for our Qin State. Wei and Zhao State are afraid of being beaten by our Qin State, and they will not dare to help South Korea."

"So, when our Qin State went to war against Bashu and South Korea at the same time, there was only one country that threatened our Qin State - Chu State!"

This thorough and realistic talk made Mei Changsu and Zhang Yi immediately weighed it, and the king said it was right.

In this way, as long as Chu does not intervene, the hope of Qin's victory will be greatly improved.
Chapter completed!
