Chapter 300 Chaos in the Central Plains (1)
"Now that Wei State has been destroyed, and South Korea is in the middle of the day and is in danger. At most, it can be as low as half a year. Montaigne will definitely be able to destroy South Korea. In addition, I have sent envoys to Yan and Qi to make great profits and let them station troops in Zhao territory. As long as they are attacking, the King of Chu is content with the status quo. With the relationship between the grandmother, Chu and our Great Qin are in a relatively peaceful period. He will not help us, nor will he come out to cause trouble. After appeaseing the countries in the Central Plains, the remaining one is the target of our Great Qin attack."
Ying Guang naturally knew that what King Zhuangxiang wanted to attack was definitely not his Later Qin. If so, then the swordsman should be invading now and take him down. It seems that King Zhuangxiang subconsciously, his Later Qin was not his enemy, or he did not even have the qualifications to be an enemy. If when the Qin Dynasty unified the Central Plains, looking around, the territory of the Qin Dynasty was everywhere, I think he had no choice but to accept and appease him.
"Is the king going to attack Zhao State?"
Bai Qi took the conversation tactfully. He now knew the purpose of King Zhuangxiang summoning him. The Meng family had Mengtian to destroy Wei and Tanhan, and the Wang family had Wang Jian to guard Wuguan. He had many generals in the court, either the Meng family or the Wang family. If any of these two families were allowed to grow, it would be detrimental to King Zhuangxiang who had just started to take the throne. Therefore, he urgently needed to cultivate his own direct line. Then, a person who had both ability and had no obvious faction would become the best choice for King Zhuangxiang.
Destroy Zhao! This is not something that Han and Wei countries can compare with. If this happens, not only can I keep the thigh of King Zhuangxiang tightly, but I can also keep it in history and become a famous general. It is not impossible to establish another Bai clan in addition to the two major clans in the military!
When Bai Qi thought of this, his heart was full of heat, and his eyes as he looked at King Zhuangxiang became particularly fierce.
As if he felt Bai Qi's determination, King Zhuangxiang looked at Bai Qi with praise, turned around and faced Ying Guang and said, "This time, Gu wanted to use the whole country to destroy Zhao State. I think that Zhao Mu insulted me many times back then, and it was time for them to pay the price! Of course, Gu is not a foolish monarch who was blinded by hatred. I don't want a miserable victory for both defeats. Although our Qin army is the main force in this attack on Zhao, we also need the help of Uncle Ying and Princess Jingshu. In the early stage of the war, Yan and Qi were unreliable, and they could not easily enter the battle. Only when Zhao State showed a clear defeat would they join the war. So I want to let Uncle Ying's Later Qin army take its strength from the southern part of Zhao State.
, first seize Luofeng County, after all, it was your territory, and it was just right. Then cross the Fen River, take straight to Henei County, and then head straight to Shangdang County! Our Qin army, the troops were divided into two groups, starting from Wuguan and Hangu Pass, Wang Jian's army went out of Wuguan to take Taiyuan County, and Bai Qi's army went out of Hangu Pass to take Hedong County. Wang Jian's road must be fast. After a surprise attack on Taiyuan County, he must firmly block Li Mu's reinforcements. After Bai Qi took Hedong County, he met with Ying Shu's Later Qin army. At this time, Shangdang County should have gathered most of the elite troops of Zhao. Our task is to kill and injure the Zhao army as much as possible. When I fight against Handan, Zhao will have no more available troops!"
He picked up the teacup beside him to moisten his throat. King Zhuangxiang's eyes showed an excited expression. He continued to say: "Wang Jian's troops are very fast, so he needs the help of the Yuezhi cavalry. I have to trouble Princess Jingshu to return to Yuezhi. Although Yuezhi is a vassal state of Great Qin, it is better to issue a transfer order to go there, but considering the various relationships between them, I still think that the princess is better off going back in person."
King Zhuangxiang said it more tactfully. After all, in name, Yan Shu was his sister-in-law and the former crown princess of the Qin Dynasty. Although everyone now knows that this is just a false reputation, and this beautiful woman is still mixed up with Ying Guang, since the Qin royal family has not said anything, naturally there is no person who is not open to the eyes to point fingers.
This time, letting Jingshu go back to mobilize troops was actually a manifestation of King Zhuangxiang's good intentions. Although he had inherited the throne, the only thing he could command was the 10,000 black-armored imperial guards in the inner palace, and the control of the military had to be carried out step by step. In this way, the support of the Yuezhi vassal state is very important to the current King Zhuangxiang.
Jing Shu and Ying Guang looked at each other, nodded and agreed. In fact, they had no choice but to refuse to agree. No matter what their relationship was before, King Zhuangxiang is now the King of Qin. He could clearly order directly, but the others did not. Instead, he put down his figure and discussed with him. If he hesitated, he would be a little ungrateful.
"That's good!"
King Zhuangxiang smiled and shouted to the outside: "Xiao Gao, go to the kitchen to arrange it and prepare to have a banquet!"
"Here!" Zhao Gao's voice came faintly outside the door.
It is always dark late in summer. When the scorching sun restrains its light, the earth that has been exposed to the sun for a day finally began to slowly lower the temperature. The gentle night breeze blows across people's skin, bringing coolness.
After dinner, Ying Guang and Jing Shu were sent out of the Qin Palace and sat in the shaking carriage. Ying Guang always closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, but Jing Shu knew that he must have not been sleeping and must have been thinking about something.
As he was about to arrive at the residence where he rested, Ying Guang, who was leaning against the carriage, finally opened his eyes.
"How is it, what did you understand?"
Hearing Jing Shu’s question, Ying Guang pinched his eyebrows hard and said tiredly: “If I said that with my understanding of Zichu, he would definitely not be able to think of such a plan. Do you believe it?”
Jing Shu nodded and asked back, "He is now the lord of the Great Qin Dynasty. It is normal for someone to give him advice, and it is not surprising."
"Well, indeed, but now Zichu is unstable in his foothold and has a far less control over this country than the previous kings. What he should do now is to gather power and cultivate his confidants, rather than rushing to send troops to conquer. From his instructing you to serve as a mission to Yuezhi, I can see that he also discovered his weakness and has begun to be less confident. Then I am curious. Who gave him such an idea, so that he would rather tolerate his weakness than annex Zhao State first!"
Jing Shu thought carefully for a while and said with a serious expression: "The foundation is not solid. Even if he has great military achievements, he will only retain a reputation for military and military power. I think that if he wins, King Zhuangxiang will not only not stop when he sees it is better, but will instead destroy other countries with victory. If he continues here, he will definitely increase taxes and labor service. The people will live in poverty and lose their country's foundation. If he loses... he has a solid foundation, and he will definitely lose his word after he loses. If the Central Plains countries come again, regardless of victory or defeat, Qin will greatly damage its national strength, and Zichu will definitely lose its prestige!"
Ying Guang took a breath: "The person who uses this strategy should be punished!"
